"Are you doubting that I'm not calm enough?"
The Divine King looked at Zhuge Hanchi calmly and asked coldly.
Zhuge Hanchi looked up at the Divine King. After a long while, he finally said, "You know that's not what I meant. It's just that … "
"Just what?"
The Divine King's eyes widened as he harrumphed coldly. "Or are you dissatisfied with my decision? Do you think that I've made the wrong judgment of the situation?"
"Divine King, although you're high and mighty, your judgment isn't always correct!"
Zhuge Hanchi lowered his head as blood flowed continuously from the corner of his mouth. He could clearly feel that the pressure he was under was increasing.
"Although I'm stupid, I know that if I were to make such a decision at a time like this, it might affect the stability of the Hundred Chuan Region."
Zhuge Hanchi gritted his teeth and said firmly. Clearly, he had already made up his mind to stand his ground on this matter.
"I think that we can punish the Beast Race appropriately as a warning."
Zhuge Hanchi said, "But if we're too extreme, it might cause the situation to become unstable. Although the Deity Clan has enough power, if the Beast Race were to rebel, it's very likely that the humans would join in the fight. Once the situation gets out of control, the Deity Clan might face great danger! "
His words were quite reasonable.
Back then, they could control the Hundred Chuan Region because there was a barrier between the various races. They were wary of each other and restrained each other.
Even if one of the races were to rebel, it would only be limited to that one race. This was especially true for the human race and the beast race. They used to be enemies with each other, and for their own benefit, they could attack each other without mercy.
As for the Beast Race, they were merely a small fry that survived in the cracks. They were used to fawning over others and sucking up to those in power. They were not worth mentioning at all.
But now, the situation was different.
Putting aside the Beast Race for now, they didn't have much of a stance in the first place.
However, the relationship between the Beast Race and the humans was already rather good. Ever since they formed an alliance, their relationship had become more and more stable. The Beast King Wen Xing had a rather good relationship with the Human Tribe's Qin Yi. There were even rumors that Wen Xing had been Qin Yi's follower before he became the Beast King.
Now that Qin Yi had made a strong comeback, his prestige in the Human Race was also quite high.
If the Beast Race were to rebel, the human race would not sit idly by.
Most importantly, even the Herb Spirit Clan, which had never trusted anyone, had maintained a rather good relationship with the Human Clan because of Qin Yi.
Once the war broke out, the major races of the Hundred Chuan Region would be drawn into it. Not only would the Beastmen's wavering not bring them any help, but they might even act as the vanguard when the Deity Race was at a disadvantage.
Once such a situation occurred, the Deity Race would become the public enemy of the Hundred Rivers Region.
Although they were powerful, they were few in number. Under the siege of all the races in the Hundred Chuan Region, their losses would definitely be incomparably huge, and they might even face the risk of extinction.
Zhuge Hanchi did not believe that the experienced and knowledgeable Divine King would not be able to understand such a simple logic.
"Divine King, I know that you are still brooding over Young Master Zichen's injuries, but …"
After pausing for a while, Zhuge Hanchi finally mustered up his courage and said what he wanted to say, "However, Young Master Zichen himself is of great use. If the entire Deity Race were to be dragged into danger because of his matter, I feel that it would be a great loss for a small gain!"
Actually, deep down, he had always had an opinion on this matter.
The Divine King's favoritism towards Zhuge Zichen had reached a level that even he could not bear to watch.
When Qin Yi had returned to the Hundred Chuan Region, he had immediately run to the Deity City.
In the end, the other party had held Zhuge Zimo hostage and used him as a threat to make the Divine King stop.
However, at that moment, the Divine King actually had the thought of killing Qin Yi and the others on the spot together with Zhuge Zimo.
In the end, although Zhuge Zimo had returned safely, the matter had actually been left unsettled.
Zhuge Zichen being beaten up and Zhuge Zimo being held hostage should at least be placed on the same level.
However, regarding Zhuge Zimo's matter, the Divine King had no intention of seeking justice for him at all.
Although he knew that Qin Yi had a huge secret that concerned the fate of the entire Deity Race, Zhuge Hanchi still felt it clearly. However, at that time, Zhuge Hanchi had clearly felt the coldness that the Divine King had displayed.
Zhuge Hanchi did not know why the Divine King had never been willing to look Zhuge Zimo in the eye even though he was so outstanding.
Similarly, he did not know why the Divine King would be so angry over Zhuge Zichen, who was clearly a good-for-nothing with no brains at all.
However, this sort of blatant favoritism made Zhuge Hanchi feel very dissatisfied in his heart.
"Zhuge Hanchi, are you going to ask about my family matters?"
The Divine King raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhuge Hanchi. Suddenly, his voice became extremely cold. "Or, do you think that my attitude towards someone needs to be decided by you?"
Zhuge Hanchi frowned. He was, of course, quite dissatisfied with the Divine King's question. What he had just said was obviously a huge matter that concerned the entire Deity Race, but the Divine King had forcefully turned it into a family matter.
Later on, the Divine King was even prepared to charge him with the crime of trying to control the Divine King.
Such a crime was not a small one. If the Divine King were to really take it seriously, it would very likely cost him his life.
At that moment, Zhuge Hanchi felt a chill in his heart.
He had been following the Divine King for thousands of years. In these thousands of years, he had always been loyal and had almost never disobeyed the Divine King.
Even though he was very dissatisfied with the Divine King's actions most of the time, he still gritted his teeth and continued to carry out the Divine King's will.
In the past thousand years, it was unknown how many times such a situation had occurred.
However, he had never refuted the Divine King. His loyalty was, of course, unquestionable.
But now?
The other party actually directly put such a huge crime on his head.
Without a doubt, the Divine King wanted him dead!
At that moment, Zhuge Hanchi's heart was filled with despair!
