The Divine King valued his reputation very much.
It had already been said before that if he didn't care about his reputation, many things could have been avoided.
However, since it had already happened, he naturally had to think of a way to remedy the situation.
Of course, there were some things that he would remedy, but there were some things that he wouldn't do. After all, there were some things that he didn't think were wrong.
For example, Zhuge Mengyao's matter. In his eyes, he didn't think that he was wrong.
In his eyes, it was a mistake for the Deity Race to intermarry with outsiders. If he didn't feel that it was wrong, he wouldn't have wanted to capture Zhuge Mengyao so angrily.
One had to know that this was a rule that he had personally set. Although he couldn't explain it, he believed that his way of thinking was absolutely correct.
This was because this method wasn't created by him. He had seen similar methods in many ancient texts.
Since ancient times, all the clans with powerful bloodlines were not allowed to marry outsiders. This was because this would lower the purity of their bloodline, causing the fighting power of their descendants to continuously decrease. In the end, they would become no different from normal humans.
Therefore, in order to maintain the purity of the Deity Clan's bloodline and to make the Deity Clan stronger, he set this rule after he had ascended to the throne.
Obviously, in his eyes, he didn't think that he was wrong. As his daughter, Zhuge Mengyao still did such a thing under his repeated orders. As a father, he would naturally be very angry, and also very pained.
The most important thing was that even after so many years, Zhuge Mengyao still had no intention of apologizing to him.
Therefore, even now, he had no intention of forgiving Zhuge Mengyao.
It was just that the previous incident had made him see many things clearly. Since his daughter had such thoughts, he couldn't change it, so he might as well let her be.
After all, the matter had already happened. He couldn't change Zhuge Mengyao's thoughts either.
However, Zhuge Mengyao had her own thoughts, so of course, he had his own thoughts too.
He couldn't change the other party's thoughts, but could Qin Yi force him to change his own?
Everyone had their own understanding. On this point, the Divine King could not change Zhuge Mengyao, and Zhuge Mengyao naturally could not change herself.
He didn't think he was wrong. In his eyes, everything he did before was for the good of Zhuge Mengyao and the Deity Race.
Therefore, if they wanted him to deny his views in front of everyone, it would be tantamount to asking him to give up his original position and even his own principles.
It was precisely because of this that the Divine King was so hesitant after hearing Qin Yi's words. After all, in his opinion, there was nothing wrong with what he had done. He had no reason to apologize, nor did he have any reason to deny all of his actions.
"Qin Yi, I can't accept your condition."
The God King stared at Qin Yi with a resolute look in his eyes.
In his opinion, he was definitely not the one at fault in this matter.
At most, both sides were right. Since he couldn't convince Zhuge Mengyao to change her mind, Qin Yi naturally couldn't convince him either.
This was a matter of principle between the two parties. There was no way to mediate or back down.
Therefore, now that Qin Yi wanted him to deny everything he had done, he really couldn't do it.
After hearing this, Qin Yi fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he lifted his head again and said, "Perhaps this matter is indeed a little difficult for you. Since that's the case, let's each take a step back."
Actually, Qin Yi wasn't someone who didn't know how to be flexible. Although the request he had just made was what he wanted to accomplish the most, he didn't really ask for it. The Divine King would definitely achieve his own expectations according to his own ideas!
After all, when he came here, he had already thought of the possibility that the Divine King would definitely not back down on this issue.
After all, this idea was already deeply ingrained in the Divine King's heart. It was rather difficult to change it.
Moreover, in order to maintain the purity of one's bloodline, it was indeed recorded in the ancient books that refused to marry outsiders.
However, this method might not necessarily be applicable to all races.
Right now, it was really hard to say whether the Deity Race would really use this method. Judging from the current situation, this method wasn't very suitable. That was because the Deity Race's population had been decreasing in recent times. Moreover, the descendants of the Deity Race would all have some problems — they couldn't have too much contact with people outside of their race. Once they got close to them, they would feel intense discomfort and even get injured after a long time.
Of course, this strange illness originated from the bloodline, but it couldn't directly prove that this was the result of the Divine King's decision.
After all, at this time, no one could produce any evidence to prove this point.
Even if Qin Yi felt that this was very possible, he couldn't directly determine the truth of the matter based on this point.
Therefore, right now, the Divine King maintained his own view, and Qin Yi couldn't say that he was completely wrong.
He was only acting according to his own ideas. Even if Qin Yi had a different view from him, he couldn't directly say that it was wrong.
Since he knew this, Qin Yi could naturally guess that the Divine King would most likely not give in.
Therefore, after hearing the other party's rejection, he wasn't angry. He didn't even feel the slightest bit disappointed.
The reason why he directly stated so many conditions was actually very simple. It was to make the Divine King reject him.
This was the most commonly used trick during negotiations. After stating one's highest expectations, both parties would bargain with each other. Only then would there be room for concessions and slowly achieve the desired effect.
And if he stated his bottom line from the start, wouldn't there be no room for concessions? If the other party couldn't accept it, the negotiation would immediately break down.
Although they could continue to negotiate later, it would obviously waste a lot of time.
They would be directly dragged into the situation that Qin Yi didn't want to see the most. What he was most unwilling to do was to engage in this kind of time-consuming negotiation.
Not only would it exhaust his mind and energy, but it would also cause him immense psychological pressure. The future would be so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
Therefore, right now, it was best to resolve this as soon as possible!
