In the beginning, the Divine King really didn't realize that he was wrong.
After all, he felt that as the Divine King, he had absolute control over everything in the Hundred Rivers Region.
No one could stop him from doing what he wanted to do.
None of the things he did were wrong.
This was especially true when he promised Qin Yi that he wouldn't harass him and that he would give him enough time to cultivate before going to the Beast Race Kingdom to cause trouble for Wen Xing.
In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with trying hard for the sake of victory. What he was doing was merely for the sake of the final victory.
He was the Divine King and the ruler of the Hundred Rivers Region. His existence was to make the Hundred Rivers Region more stable and to make the Deity Race more powerful!
With such a strong sense of mission in his heart, he naturally felt that there was nothing wrong with what he had done.
However, the appearance of his inner demon this time made him face his true thoughts for the first time.
It turned out that he had always known that what he was doing was wrong. He wasn't as great as he thought he was. He felt that everything he did was for the Deity Race and the Hundred Rivers Region, but in reality, it was all a lie he used to find an excuse to absolve himself of his sins.
In reality, he also knew that everything he did was completely for his own selfish desires, for his own pride, and so that he could continue to control everything that he had once controlled.
It was just that all this while, he had chosen to use a self-deception and self-brainwashing method to give himself a reason to act recklessly without any psychological burden.
However, in reality, his actions had long surpassed the limits of what a normal person could tolerate.
It was only at that moment that he realized that his actions could incite such great hatred.
Hence, he knew very well that no one would be able to restrain their killing intent under the influence of such hatred. He even felt that he would be letting others down if he didn't die.
Obviously, in his eyes, it was very reasonable for Qin Yi to want to kill him. There was no mistake.
It was also because of this that Qin Yi had no reason to let him go when he was stuck there. He even felt that Qin Yi should have attacked him directly and killed him.
However, he didn't expect that Qin Yi would actually stand in front of him and say that he wanted to negotiate with him.
Although he did have some expectations and gratification in his heart, it was really difficult to make him believe in this matter!
He even felt that Qin Yi just wanted to take the opportunity to see him make a fool of himself. His real purpose was to hit him when he was down.
Hence, when he saw Zhuge Mengyao standing together with Qin Yi and even bringing him all the way here, when the people he had arranged to attack Qin Yi, Zhuge Mengyao still extended a hand to help Qin Yi. That was why he felt so disappointed.
Because of his ruthlessness and treachery, he had finally pushed his own daughter to the opposite side of him.
Although he blamed Zhuge Mengyao, he did not really fly into a rage.
After all, if he was truly enraged, he wouldn't have just used such an attack against Qin Yi and the others.
The hundred or so experts he had arranged in the dark were all super experts of the Deity Race hidden in the dark. Every single one of them was at least a Divine King.
If hundreds of Divine Realm experts really wanted to attack Qin Yi and the others with their lives, even if Qin Yi and the others could really withstand it, they definitely wouldn't be able to stand in front of the Divine King unscathed.
From this, it could be seen that although the Divine King didn't welcome Qin Yi's arrival, he wasn't so angry that he wanted to kill Qin Yi and the others.
However, now that he saw Qin Yi and the others, he still realized that he wasn't really willing to come into contact with them.
There was no other reason. It was because he knew that his current miserable state was really laughable.
He had always been strong, but now he had become like this. He was like a candle in the wind. To an enemy who had always wanted to kill him, seeing this scene would definitely make him feel very proud.
He was a person who cared a lot about his reputation. In front of outsiders, he always wanted to show his tough and domineering side. He didn't want anyone to see his current state, let alone someone like Qin Yi.
On the other hand, it was because the Divine King felt somewhat ashamed.
The eruption of his inner demon allowed him to finally directly face his own weakness.
To be honest, he had paid a great price to be able to sit here at such a time.
The reason why he could walk out and still look fine was because he had defeated his inner demon.
For a person who could unleash his inner demon during ordinary cultivation, defeating it was no longer a simple task.
Obviously, if he wanted to defeat his inner demon, he had to face all his previous problems. All the negative emotions in his heart had to be carefully dealt with. Only after all the knots in his heart had been removed could he completely destroy his inner demon.
He couldn't rely on anyone else for this matter. He could only rely on himself.
It had to be said that it was quite shocking that the Divine King could do this.
After all, in Qin Yi's eyes, the Divine King's character was still very flawed. It could even be said that Qin Yi didn't think that the Divine King was someone who could remove the knots in his heart.
However, the Divine King had done it. This meant that he had seen through many things.
Through this matter, it could also prove that the Divine King should have already realized his mistake.
It was also because he had realized his mistake that he felt guilty. This also meant that he had faced his mistake head-on.
Now that he knew his mistake, he naturally felt guilty. Naturally, he wasn't willing to face Qin Yi and the others.
Therefore, the Divine King was still unwilling to see Qin Yi. He also didn't believe that Qin Yi was really here to negotiate.
Although this was also a sign of being paranoid, everyone could understand why he would have such a mentality.
After all, both sides had been mortal enemies before. Now, they were sitting together to discuss important matters. No matter what, this change was indeed a little too fast.
To be honest, even Qin Yi wasn't used to this kind of situation.
After all, the relationship between him and the Divine King was indeed a little complicated.
It wasn't an easy thing to change a relationship!
