Without a doubt, if Qin Yi admitted that he was unwilling to participate in the duel and chose to reconcile with the Divine King, it would be the same as announcing to everyone that he had retreated in the face of a life-and-death battle.
Evidently, if things really reached this stage, it would be a huge blow to Qin Yi's reputation.
After all, he was now a heroic existence in the eyes of the people of the Hundred Rivers Region. After all, no one had ever dared to challenge the Divine King for so many years.
However, Qin Yi had done it, and his strength had gained everyone's recognition.
Now, the entire Hundred Rivers Region was waiting for the final battle between Qin Yi and the Divine King. They wanted to see if this legend could be continued and if there was really someone who could defeat the invincible Divine King.
Now, however, Qin Yi had taken the initiative to give up on the duel. It could even be said that he was giving up on the duel by taking a step back.
Evidently, if things really reached this stage, then it would be very difficult for Qin Yi to raise his head in front of everyone after that.
After all, many people had already fallen out with the Deity Race in order to support Qin Yi. Some of them had even been thoroughly hated by the Divine King.
Without a doubt, if Qin Yi surrendered to the Divine King now, then everyone would perhaps think that he was a person who went back on his word. Their favorable impression of Qin Yi would instantly fall to the freezing point.
However, now was clearly not the time to think about these things.
After all, if possible, no one wanted a huge battle to break out. Even Qin Yi couldn't abandon everyone's lives just to satisfy everyone's expectations.
As for the fact that everyone didn't keep their promises, this matter could be easily resolved.
As long as the negotiations went smoothly today, everyone should be fine.
After all, they had come this time to resolve these problems. If they couldn't even resolve this matter properly, then how could the negotiations be considered a success?
As for others saying that he had surrendered without any warning before the duel and that he was a coward who retreated without a fight, this was naturally unavoidable.
Those who knew Qin Yi would naturally know that he was not the kind of person who would give up a fight just because he was afraid. In fact, he would not even fight and directly surrender.
A true friend would always think from his point of view. He also knew that if possible, he should avoid fighting and solve the problem on the basis of peace.
After all, once the battle started, no one would benefit. Even if they could achieve their goal in the end, Qin Yi and the others would definitely suffer some losses.
Therefore, those who truly understood Qin Yi would definitely support Qin Yi unconditionally at this time.
However, in the entire Hundred Rivers Region, how many people could truly understand Qin Yi?
After all, there were countless creatures in the Hundred Rivers Region. Everyone's personality was different, and their thoughts were even more bizarre.
There were people who could get along with Qin Yi and think that Qin Yi was a rather good person. Every choice he made was reasonable. Then, there would definitely be people who did not understand Qin Yi, who hated Qin Yi, and who were even eager to see Qin Yi make a fool of himself.
Such people could be said to be quite jealous. If there was an opportunity for them to attack Qin Yi, then even if it was groundless, they would definitely treat it as the truth. They would first exaggerate it, then spread it, and belittle Qin Yi.
Obviously, such people were definitely not the minority. After all, in this world, there were many people who did not want others to live well even if they were not doing well themselves.
Qin Yi had never denied this point. Previously, when he was at Yin-Yang Academy, he had encountered such a situation.
Although the direct disciples of the elders kept saying that it was for the sake of the academy's safety and wanted to drive Qin Yi out, in reality, they only wanted to give themselves a chance to realize their value.
Although the misunderstanding was resolved in the end, and both sides reached a settlement, their starting point and their original goal would not change.
Therefore, Qin Yi could almost conclude that as long as he announced to the outside that he was the one who wanted to reach a settlement first and was unwilling to continue fighting, there would definitely be no lack of such voices outside.
However, Qin Yi really did not care about this at all.
As long as he knew that his people, understood the purpose of this action, and the final outcome was satisfactory, that would be enough.
As for the others, to be honest, Qin Yi really did not care about them at all.
He had already stated before that as long as he could achieve his goal, that was enough. As for what others thought and how they viewed him, he did not care about it at all.
After all, if he really had to take care of everyone's thoughts, then Qin Yi's life would be too tiring.
Moreover, he had already planned to leave now.
Ever since he came out of seclusion this time, it was already destined that he would leave soon.
Whether he would carry out the final battle or not, in fact, it was already meaningless.
After all, Qin Yi's strength was displayed for all to see. If he wanted to leave, he would have already possessed the basic strength.
Therefore, as long as the matter was resolved, to Qin Yi, it did not matter what method he used.
Since he could solve the problem by himself, why should he care about what others thought?
He, Qin Yi, did not live for others.
Therefore, he didn't care how much the decision he made would affect him.
First of all, he did not care about what others thought. Secondly, he was about to leave, so no matter how badly they scolded him, he would not know. There was no need to care about what these people thought.
Therefore, now, Qin Yi did not mind taking the initiative to bear the responsibility of giving up the final battle.
After hearing what Qin Yi said, the Divine King's expression clearly relaxed.
After all, he was not willing to give up the final battle because it did not affect his reputation. At the same time, he could not get out of this embarrassing situation.
Now that Qin Yi had taken the initiative to give him a way out, of course, he would still consider it.
However, after a slight waver, he quickly shook his head and said, "I cannot agree to this. This matter must be resolved this way!"
When Qin Yi heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "It seems that you are determined to die!"
Actually, he could tell that the Divine King already felt that he had no hope, so he wanted to use his death to wash away his sins at the last moment!
