With a flash of white light, Zhao Hai appeared in a transmission formation. He looked around and didn't see any changes. There were still cultivators going in and out of the transmission formation. Everyone had a look of expectation on their faces.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly as he walked out. At this time, a voice was heard, "Big Brother Hai is back. Big Brother Hai is back."
Zhao Hai looked and saw that it was a Severed Soul Expert. When he saw Zhao Hai in the past, although he would greet him, he would always call him Little Hai. But now, he was calling him Big Brother Hai. This made Zhao Hai not know whether to laugh or cry.
Zhao Hai didn't know that his current status in the Hundred Treasures Realm was very high. Although he didn't have a high status in the Hundred Treasures Realm, he was still a Guest Elder of the Divergent Realm. The Divergent Realm was a much more powerful existence compared to the Hundred Treasures Realm. Because of this, Zhao Hai's status naturally became different.
Although Zhao Hai was still a member of the Hundred Treasures Realm, the ordinary cultivators of the Hundred Treasures Realm unconsciously raised Zhao Hai's status. And with Zhao Hai's strength, Zhao Hai's popularity in the Hundred Treasures Realm was very high. The Cultivation Realm was a place where strength was respected. If you were strong, then not to mention Big Brother, you could even be called Uncle.
The person's shout also attracted the attention of the others. Zhao Hai looked at these people and smiled bitterly. He didn't know what to say.
Zhao Hai hasn't returned to the Hundred Treasures Realm for more than a year. The people of the Hundred Treasures Realm were worried that Zhao Hai would join the Divergent Realm. After all, the Divergent Realm was bigger than the Hundred Treasures Realm. Zhao Hai was also a Guest Elder of the Divergent Realm. If he joined the Divergent Realm, he would have a much better life than the Hundred Treasures Realm.
Some time ago, when they heard that Prisonheart had passed away, these people were very excited. They thought that Zhao Hai would be back soon. They didn't think that after waiting for a few days, Zhao Hai would be back. This was why these people were so excited when they saw Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai looked at them and then greeted them with a smile. One of them immediately turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Big Brother Hai, why did you come back so late? I heard that Elder Prisonheart passed away a few days ago? "
This question was very sudden and inappropriate. However, Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Yes, Master passed away a few days ago. But there were some sacrificial ceremonies in the Divergent Realm that I had to participate in. Therefore, I came back after the ceremony was over."
Everyone nodded. Then one of them loudly said, "Alright, everyone, don't crowd around here. The Elder said that if Big Brother Hai comes back, Big Brother Hai should immediately go see him. Everyone, don't crowd around Big Brother Hai." Hearing this, everyone stepped aside. Zhao Hai smiled and greeted everyone before heading towards the Hundred Treasures Realm's conference hall.
Looking at Zhao Hai's back, everyone couldn't help but smile. They were afraid that Zhao Hai would join the Divergent Realm and not return to the Hundred Treasures Realm. These ordinary Cultivators sometimes believed in luck. Ever since Zhao Hai joined the Hundred Treasures Realm, the Hundred Treasures Realm had already passed through several crises. Moreover, the realm was growing stronger step by step. And with Zhao Hai's strength, he was able to win every battle. Because of this, these ordinary Cultivators had a trace of obsession with Zhao Hai. They always believed that Zhao Hai was their lucky star. If they followed Zhao Hai, they would definitely win.
At this time, the Hundred Treasures Realm's attack on Halfbeast Island wasn't going very smoothly. Although Mu Yu was personally leading the army, Cultivators who went to Halfbeast Island were still attacked by the Beast Race. Because of this, these ordinary Cultivators hoped that Zhao Hai could go to Halfbeast Island and use his luck to conquer the island as soon as possible.
If Zhao Hai knew that this was the reason why he was so popular, who knows what he would think. Zhao Hai slowly flew towards the conference hall and then said, "Hai Hai requests an audience."
Zong Ze's voice came from the hall, "Little Hai, you're back. Come in." Zhao Hai walked towards the conference hall.
At this time, only Zong Ze and the others were present in the conference hall. Mu Yao was no longer here. Mu Yao didn't return to the Divergent Realm for a long time before he went into seclusion. Moreover, the ten Elders of the Hundred Treasures Realm have been disbanded. Naturally, Mu Yao handed over his authority and no longer blocked Zong Ze's path. He didn't want others to think that he was competing with Zong Ze.
In this regard, Mu Yao made the same choice as Zhao Hai. Everything was for the sake of the unity of the Hundred Treasures Realm. They didn't want any cracks to appear in the Hundred Treasures Realm because of their own selfish motives.
At this time, there were only five Elders in the conference hall. This made the conference hall feel empty. When Zhao Hai came in, he immediately gave a salute to the Elders. Zong Ze waved his hand and said, "It's good that you're back. Have a seat, I have something to tell you."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he sat on a translucent cloud. Zong Ze looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Little Hai, you've been in the Divergent Realm for more than a year. How much do you know about the realm?"
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, "I know a bit. Halfbeast Island is nominally ours, but the situation isn't very good. Besides this, I'm afraid the only thing that matters is the establishment of the exchange system in the headquarters."
Zong Ze chuckled and said, "You're right. Besides the exchange system, the only thing that matters is Halfbeast Island. The situation in Halfbeast Island is special. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to subdue it. Although Little Yu is there, the situation isn't very good. There are still a lot of beasts who refuse to submit to us. Little Hai, what do you think we should do?"
Zhao Hai stared, he didn't expect Zong Ze to ask him this question. He looked at Zong Ze with a puzzled expression. Zong Ze nodded, signaling him to speak boldly.
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and then said, "I don't know much about Halfbeast Island. I only know that the ones in charge are the Great Beast Clans. These Great Beast Clans don't want to be ruled by other races. Because of this, they have been opposing us. Am I right?" Zhao Hai nodded.
Zong Ze nodded and said, "You're right. That's the general situation. The Beast Races don't want other races to rule them."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "If that's the case, then it's much better. Elder, I think we've made a mistake. We want to take back Halfbeast Island, but we also want to take the Beast Race into the Hundred Treasures Realm. Therefore, we sent people to rule them. This is where the contradiction lies. I think we should change our thinking and treat the Beast Race like a small realm." Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "That's good.
Hearing Zhao Hai, Zong Ze couldn't help but stare. Then he immediately understood what Zhao Hai meant. He couldn't help but pat his head. Then he turned to the other Elders and laughed, "It seems like we've been thinking too much. Hahaha."
Zhao Hai knew that it wasn't that the Elders didn't think of this. It was just that they subconsciously looked down on the Beast Races. Because of this, they didn't care about the Beast Races at all. They just wanted to send people to rule them.
If the Hundred Treasures Realm treated the Beast Race as an ordinary subordinate realm, then they wouldn't send people to govern the Beast Race. As long as they make the Beast Race submit to them and hand over some things every year, they would also send troops to support the Hundred Treasures Realm. This was enough. There was no need to set up a governing body over the Beast Race. This would only cause the Beast Race to be disgusted.
To put it simply, the Hundred Treasures Realm can let the Beast Races manage Halfbeast Island. They can also let the Beast Races practice autonomy. However, the Beast Races must support the Hundred Treasures Realm in all matters. When the Hundred Treasures Realm fights against their enemies, they would be unified under the Hundred Treasures Realm's leadership. The Hundred Treasures Realm wouldn't interfere with Halfbeast Island.
An Elder hesitated for a moment before saying, "What if the Beast Races still don't agree? Some of the Beast Races want Halfbeast Island to break away from the Hundred Treasures Realm's rule and become a Beast Race Realm on equal footing with the Hundred Treasures Realm. "
Zhao Hai sneered and said, "There's only one way to deal with such people, and that's to kill them. After all, the Hundred Treasures Realm is stronger than Halfbeast Island. Giving them autonomy is already a concession. If they still want to be on equal footing with the Hundred Treasures Realm, then we can only kill them. But before we do that, we need to make an announcement that it's impossible for them to be on equal footing with the Hundred Treasures Realm. Their only option is to submit to the Hundred Treasures Realm. Once we make our move, the other beast races would think twice. After all, they only need to hand over some things every year. They don't need to listen to the Hundred Treasures Realm for everything. I think they would make a choice. "
Zong Ze nodded, then he said, "Most of the requests of the Beast Race are because they don't want the Humans to rule over them. We can agree to this. But if they want to be on equal footing with the Hundred Treasures Realm, then they can't blame us."
The group nodded. Then Zong Ze looked at Zhao Hai and chuckled, "You've really woken us up. We still don't understand why the Beasts would resist so fiercely. Now it seems like this method is feasible. I'll immediately inform Mu Yu and have him do it." Zhao Hai nodded, then Zong Ze chuckled.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Actually, Elders, we can slowly control the half-beasts. I heard that Halfbeast Island isn't very rich in resources. The Hundred Treasures Realm wants the island because of its location, not because of its resources. Therefore, we can increase our trade with the half-beasts. We can use the resources that they need to exchange for resources. This way, we can slowly control the flow of resources. If the half-beasts are disloyal, then we can control their resources and make them feel uncomfortable." Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Actually, we can slowly control the half-beasts.
What Zhao Hai said was actually a type of economic invasion. However, Cultivators didn't have the concept of economic invasion. Because of this, nobody used this method to deal with others. Naturally, Zong Ze and the others didn't understand it. Now that they heard what Zhao Hai said, they couldn't help but feel a sense of novelty.
