Qin Yi wasn't a soft-hearted person. When it came to his own benefits, he would definitely become stone-hearted. He wouldn't listen to anyone's words.
Therefore, whether or not the Godking would be able to benefit from him depended on his current attitude.
At this moment, the Divine King fell into deep thought after hearing this suggestion.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly nodded and said, "Your request isn't too excessive. I agree. From today onwards, I will step down from the Divine King's position. In the future, I will no longer be the Divine King. I will be Zhuge Xiuzhu, an ordinary member of the Deity Race. I no longer have the ability to give orders, nor do I have the authority to do so. As for who the Divine King's position will be given to, I will consider it later. "
Qin Yi didn't expect the Divine King Zhuge Xiuzhu to be so tactful.
Actually, according to his original plan, his next request was indeed to make the other party abdicate and give the Divine King's position to Zhuge Zimo.
One had to know that the Divine King was just an ordinary member of the Deity Race after he stepped down from his position. Although he had once been the Divine King, this didn't give him any special privileges in the Deity Race.
If that was really the case, then the Divine King's current threat would naturally be much smaller than before. There was no need to worry about him doing anything excessive.
Obviously, Zhuge Xiuzhu also knew this. He knew that only by stepping down from the Divine King's throne could he truly be at ease.
Moreover, he also knew that with the current situation, it was impossible for him to continue staying on the Divine King's throne.
He wasn't a brainless person. Naturally, he knew what kind of situation he was in.
Without a doubt, if he still wanted to stay on the Divine King's throne, he would definitely not be able to gain Qin Yi's trust.
Moreover, he could also see that Qin Yi had clearly come prepared this time.
Qin Yi's objective was to make him step down from the Divine King's throne. If he didn't agree now, then Qin Yi would personally suggest that he step down.
Obviously, he would be the first to lose face at that time.
After all, it always made people feel better to take the initiative to bring it up. But if the other party were to make such a request, then perhaps he would be the one to lose face first.
When it came to something like face, the God King still placed great importance on it.
Since he knew that he couldn't save the situation, he might as well take the initiative and say that he was going to abdicate.
In any case, he was already prepared to pass on his position.
Before he went into seclusion, he had already thought of letting Zhuge Zimo replace him as the new Divine King.
This time, after being seriously injured by the Inner Demon's attack, this thought became even stronger.
After all, at that time, he also felt that there was nothing he could do to save the situation, and he was already close to death.
He couldn't possibly stay on the God King's position forever and refuse to give it up until his death.
He was rather concerned about the future of the Deity Race.
After all, he had been the Divine King for so many years and had deep feelings for the Deity Race.
After so many years, he had changed a lot and made a lot of mistakes. However, his care and love for the Deity Race had never changed.
Obviously, if he didn't settle this matter before he died, then the Deity Race would definitely be in chaos when he died.
After all, Zhuge Zimo wasn't the only talented genius in the Deity Race.
After Zhuge Zimo, there were other young people whose abilities couldn't be underestimated. Although they couldn't be compared to Zhuge Zimo, they were ambitious and knew how to operate. They also knew what was needed to seize the position, so they had long made preparations.
The Divine King had long seen through these people. Hence, he had never given these people any benefits during normal times.
All this while, he had treated them as ordinary subordinates and let them do what they needed to do.
As for passing on his position to these people, the Divine King had never even thought about it.
Although these people were rather good in terms of ability and strength, they were rather bad in terms of character.
His most beloved grandson was Zhuge Zichen, and he had once thought about passing the position of the Divine King to him. However, the actions of Zhuge Zichen and his willful and rash actions eventually made him give up on this idea.
From this, it could be seen that things like character were still within the scope of consideration for the Divine King.
However, although Zhuge Zichen was terrible, it was certain that Zhuge Zichen's character was much better than the others.
At most, Zhuge Zichen could be considered to be rather willful. He did things without much consideration and didn't consider the consequences. He only blindly wanted to do things under the control of his emotions.
However, compared to the others, he was much better. Those people were cruel and merciless, and they didn't really treat the people around them as their own race.
Moreover, they were ambitious and had always coveted the position of the Divine King.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that he had been supporting the Divine King's throne and intimidating them, perhaps the tragedy of his own race killing each other would have happened a long time ago.
He could totally imagine that if he were to really meet with some mishap and fall, they would start fighting each other in the next second for the sake of ascending the Divine King's throne!
Once the situation developed into such a situation, the Deity Race would definitely suffer a great loss of strength.
As a result, before that, the Godking felt like he needed to suppress the people around him and let a reliable person ascend to the throne first. Only by doing that would they truly be at ease. Only then would they truly be able to rest in peace.
Therefore, before Qin Yi and the others came over, he was actually already thinking about summoning Zhuge Zimo over and letting him succeed the throne.
And the reason why he released Zhuge Mengyao wasn't just to let her pass a message to Qin Yi on his behalf.
This stemmed from the guilt he felt towards his daughter, Zhuge Mengyao. After all, he had already imprisoned her for more than twenty years. He couldn't possibly continue making mistakes when he was about to die.
Therefore, letting Zhuge Mengyao out was what he wanted to do the most.
On the other hand, it was actually to let Zhuge Mengyao come out to preside over the situation. This was to prevent the tragedy of the Deity Race from happening after Zhuge Zimo ascended the throne because he couldn't control the situation.
