Crime Prison Island

The Sea King laughed: "Then let's die together. If I can't fulfill the promise to take them out alive, then we'll share the same grave in death."

"Father! Wuwuwu..." Sivina broke down.

She thought she had convinced Gao Xin to spare her father, but the Sea King didn't want to live himself.

Gao Xin felt dejected. Despite knowing it beforehand, he still felt regret.

It wasn't the Sea King he regretted, but he knew that killing the Sea King would mean the seahorses would never stop pursuing him.

"Daughter, don't cry. Everyone dies eventually."

"Tai Sui's powers are unique, so maybe... you might see me again, hahaha."

The Sea King accepted it completely, and thinking of Gao Xin's abilities, realized it might be impossible to rest in peace entirely.

In a certain sense, death might be the true 'joining the Holy Spirit Society', something you can't betray.

"In life, I fulfilled my duties, worked hard, fought... after death, I'll be relieved of everything."

"Maybe I can use Tai Sui's abilities to witness the day he walks out, is there anything better in this world?"

"Haha, what a wonderful thing, daughter, stop your crying, can't you act like a man?"

"Tai Sui, go ahead, if you don't, I'll have to save the madam."

The Sea King had no fear of death and even scolded Sivina, urging her to let go.

Sivina was completely stunned by his scolding, her tears stuck on her face, she froze instantly.

However, while they felt relieved, Gao Xin was quite frustrated.

Damn it, with the Sea King's death, the blood debt would fall into his own hands.

Gao Xin knew the seahorses didn't care about proxies or reappearances; they wanted the Sea King alive.

Otherwise, they would certainly fight him to the death, with absolutely no room for maneuver—a fight to the death with no other possibility, either he kills the seahorses or they kill him.

"Hm?"

Just as he was about to act, Gao Xin suddenly realized something.

He swiftly turned towards Water City and saw that a battle was occurring there too.

Another twist?

Gao Xin rechecked and found that the future had become unpredictable, only a few seconds in advance could be seen.

This indicated interference by a Divinity.

"Caesar? What's he doing here?"

Gao Xin gazed intently, the sea area wasn't far from Crime Prison Island, and the grandeur of the battle towards Water City was visible at a glance.

The seahorses were fighting with someone, a group of Quasi-Dragon Kings were in fierce combat.

Besides them, two Quasi-Dragon Kings flew over, soon hovering in mid-air before his eyes.

"Tai Sui, you haven't completed Dragon Transformation yet?" Caesar looked down at Gao Xin, his gaze filled with vexed hostility.

Gao Xin felt immense pressure, his face turned livid: "What wind blew you here?"

"Didn't you agree to give up Sea King Port?"

Caesar said impatiently: "I don't need to give notice who I plan to destroy."

Beside him, Bodhluo the Golden Buddha sneered: "Tai Sui, are you thinking too optimistically?"

"Sea King Port was expelled from the Empire, and anyone can kill them, whoever occupies it owns it."

"They buried a large number of nuclear bombs on the Empire's territory, tantamount to declaring war. We are merely annexing it. Don't you approve?"

Gao Xin understood, Evil Dragon Castle was here to claim the victory.

Indeed, from beginning to end, Caesar only promised not to rescue Sea King Port; he never said he couldn't destroy it.

In a way, they were helping him completely eliminate Sea King Port.

However, they should've come earlier, he fought tooth and nail to defeat all of Sea King Port's experts, only for Evil Dragon Castle to swoop in and claim the rewards?

Unsure but likely, Water City had already been taken over.

The Sea King Territory should also belong to them, and in the end, he only occupied three Silver Tower Villages in Yamato Domain.

That's how wars are; it's not about who won, but about who has actual control.

Without a doubt, if he wanted to devour all of Sea King Port's resources, he would have to wage war with Evil Dragon Castle.

His aim for this war was a swift victory, to establish a stable rear base for an all-out war with Adam, and now was clearly not the time to battle Evil Dragon Castle.

Otherwise, it would be better to keep Sea King Port intact, as the entanglement with Evil Dragon Castle was far more terrifying than that with Sea King Port.

So now, he absolutely couldn't go to war with Evil Dragon Castle, otherwise he would face attacks from two great empires simultaneously, and Adam and the Eagle King would laugh themselves to death.

"Caesar, are you really going to do this? Have you thought it through?"

Gao Xin felt the situation slipping out of control, wondering why Caesar would provoke him now? Was he crazy?

Though Caesar had his justification, Gao Xin didn't care about that. A grievance was a grievance.

Gao Xin knew that his subtle relationship with Caesar would break one day, for instance when he couldn't revive Shelly even after Dragon Transformation.

But he couldn't for the life of him figure out why it started now.

This was something he hadn't foreseen, implying it was Caesar's impulsiveness, a spur-of-the-moment decision.

"Tai Sui, why do your enemies fight for you after death, tell me." Caesar suppressed his fiery anger and coldly questioned.

Gao Xin frowned: "Isn't this obvious? I pull them out from the Netherworld and can naturally send them back."

"When people die, everything before death becomes meaningless. Do you think everyone's eternally irreconcilable with me?"

In this world, few people continue to be stubborn after death.

Even if in life they were relentless, death should bring rest. So far, no enmity with Gao Xin reached a point where they couldn't let go after death.

There's no such need; once the departed understand their situation, they realize that offending Gao Xin doesn't benefit them in any way.

It's simply a matter of listening to him, coming out to fight for a bit, knowing that the proxy won't die—just going out for some fresh air, revisiting the world, isn't that delightful?
