Qin Yi's request made the Divine King sink into deep thought.
After all, this matter was contrary to his previous philosophy. If he agreed, it would be considered as going against his own principles.
However, from Qin Yi's words, it could be seen that Qin Yi had already made a concession.
After all, according to Qin Yi's original request, not only did he, the Divine King, have to admit the relationship between Zhuge Mengyao and Qin Yi in public, he also had to tell everyone that what he had done previously was wrong.
Evidently, this was something that the Divine King could not accept.
However, Qin Yi had lowered his request.
Although he still had to acknowledge the relationship between Zhuge Mengyao, Qin Yi, and Qin Han, there was no need for him to publicly announce to everyone that he was wrong and that he needed to correct his wrong attitude.
Without a doubt, the difficulty of what the Divine King wanted to do had been greatly reduced.
Evidently, the Divine King did not have much room to choose now.
After all, Qin Yi's current strength was already rather strong.
As for Zhuge Mengyao's strength, it was already impossible for anyone to compete with her from the start.
Without a doubt, if the Divine King could use his own strength and identity to fight against Qin Yi and the others and prevent their plans from succeeding, he no longer had the ability to do so now.
He was already at the end of his rope. Without Qin Yi's help, he might not even be able to survive these few days.
To be honest, if he could survive, he really did not want to die like this.
After all, although he had already lived for tens of thousands of years, who in this world would complain about living a long life?
Everyone was afraid of death. Even Qin Yi was the same, let alone the Divine King.
Especially since the Divine King was already in such a state, his desire to live became stronger when he was about to die.
The Divine King did not want to die. He wanted to live!
Since he wanted to live, he had to accept Qin Yi's conditions. Even if sometimes Qin Yi's request was indeed a little difficult for people to accept.
To be honest, it had been a very, very long time since the Godking had experienced such an experience.
From the moment he became a God King, he had already become a high and mighty person.
All along, it had always been others who had to look at his face. Since when did he need to look at others' faces to act?
But now, if he wanted to live, he had to bow down to Qin Yi's strong demands.
After all, he really wanted to live now. This was the truest thought in his heart. If he didn't comply, would he really have to watch himself die?
The answer was obviously no. The Divine King was not the kind of person who could not see things through. He had always been a person who paid attention to his inner thoughts. He would definitely find a way to accomplish what he wanted to do.
It was also because of this that he would often do things that others could not imagine.
But now that things had reached this point, there was nothing more to say.
He had to respect the truest thoughts in his heart and make a decision that would allow him to live on.
Of course, he wanted to compromise not only because he wanted to live.
Actually, the Divine King had always regarded his daughter, Zhuge Mengyao, with great importance.
After all, she was the most outstanding of all his descendants. Furthermore, she was the daughter he had always doted on the most.
Although there was a gap between the two of them because of this matter, and even the current situation of confrontation had appeared, he had never forgotten Zhuge Mengyao's concern for him.
Actually, during these years when Zhuge Mengyao was imprisoned, he would often observe her.
To be honest, when he saw his most beloved daughter, the once high-spirited and most powerful genius of the Deity Race, could only become an emotionless walking corpse in his own courtyard, the Divine King felt some pain in his heart.
Obviously, he also knew that this was not the life that Zhuge Mengyao wanted. From the moment she left the Yanluo Region, her heart had already been there.
From then on, Zhuge Mengyao became depressed, and it was very difficult to see a smile on her face.
As a father, although he really wanted to see his daughter walk step by step towards the peak according to his plan, he still felt very uncomfortable when he saw that she did not have the slightest bit of joy on her face.
According to the truest thoughts in his heart, he was actually very willing to compromise and let Zhuge Mengyao pursue the happiness that belonged to her.
After all, perhaps he would only feel at ease when his daughter was happy.
Moreover, the things that he could do now were already very limited.
From the aura that Qin Yi revealed today, it could be said that both Qin Yi and Zhuge Mengyao's strength had already reached the extreme.
Zhuge Mengyao's strength had already surpassed his peak state.
As for Qin Yi, he could already be mentioned in the same breath as his peak state. The most important thing was that the Divine King saw limitless potential in this youth.
Without a doubt, in the future, Qin Yi would become more and more terrifying, more and more unimaginable to the Divine King. In the future, he might even reach a height that the Divine King could not imagine.
Obviously, at this time, even if the Divine King was really unwilling to agree and really wanted to stop it, he was powerless.
After all, this matter was already something that the other party had to do.
Although both Qin Yi and Zhuge Mengyao wanted to get his acknowledgement.
But even if he did not admit it, so what?
To be honest, right now, Qin Yi was only asking for his agreement because he wanted to give him face.
But if he really did not agree, Qin Yi and the others would probably still do what they wanted to do. He could only watch from afar. He could not stop it, nor could he be accepted.
If they fell out this time, their relationship would probably not be able to be eased for a very long time in the future.
For more than 20 years, it seemed like this was the only time that they could calmly discuss and communicate with each other. If they could not ease their relationship this time, then his image as a person would probably be unable to change.
Moreover, behind this condition, there was a benefit that the Divine King could not refuse!
Chapter 4110: Negotiation Ended
One had to know that the condition that Qin Yi made this request was to give him the secret of activating the Deity Race's bloodline power.
Without a doubt, for this secret, the Divine King had put in a lot of effort and attempts.
He had pressured Qin Yi more than once, wanting to make Qin Yi compromise, all so that he could get Qin Yi to hand over this secret. For this, he paid an incomparably painful price.
Not only did he lose most of his clones, but he was also heavily injured.
To be honest, if not for Qin Yi's appearance, perhaps the Divine King would not have encountered such a disaster.
Or perhaps, even if his inner demon had always existed, it would not have erupted so quickly.
Moreover, even if his inner demon had appeared, if it had been in his original state, it would not have been a particularly difficult thing to solve.
After all, the him at that time was quite powerful, and his willpower was sufficiently strong. Moreover, even if an inner demon had appeared, it would not have been so strong.
However, these things could not be said. After all, the appearance of the inner demon had little to do with Qin Yi. At the end of the day, it was still because of his mental state that the inner demon had found a loophole.
Of course, this could not deny the Divine King's efforts and attempts for this secret.
Now, he was very, very close to this secret, and Qin Yi had even proposed a corresponding exchange. What reason did the Divine King have not to grasp this opportunity?
At this thought, he finally raised his head and said, "Alright, I agree to this request of yours. However, you need to give me time. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to accept this state, but if you give me time, I might be able to do it. "
When he said this, Qin Yi finally felt a lot more at ease.
Actually, if the Divine King had really agreed to it immediately, Qin Yi would have been a little worried.
After all, this was not an ordinary request. It was to make the Divine King change his mindset that had existed in his heart for tens of thousands of years.
This mindset could be said to be deeply rooted in his heart. For the sake of this mindset, he had even done many wrong things.
It was almost impossible to erase the existence of a mindset in a short period of time. The only thing he could try was to slowly change his mindset during this period of time.
Therefore, when the Divine King said that he wanted to give him some time to adapt and change, it just so happened that Qin Yi could feel his sincerity.
To be honest, if the Divine King had really agreed to it immediately, it would instead make Qin Yi feel that the Divine King was doing this perfunctorily in order to obtain benefits from him.
To be honest, if the Divine King had really said this back then, Qin Yi would really have to reconsider whether he should really tell the Divine King this secret or not.
After all, the Divine King's improper attitude already made Qin Yi unable to feel his sincerity. If the Divine King was really doing this perfunctorily and turned his back on him after obtaining this secret, then Qin Yi would really have shot himself in the foot.
It was precisely because of this that Qin Yi could now completely relax. The Divine King had indeed shown a considerable amount of sincerity, so he could also feel at ease handing over the secret to the Divine King.
"Since you've agreed, then the reconciliation between us is complete."
After hearing Qin Yi's words, everyone present at the scene let out a sigh of relief.
Before coming here, no one knew what would happen. Especially when they had just entered Royal City and the experts of the Divine King Sect had secretly attacked them, they had felt even more apprehensive.
The reason why Mu Chan 'er and the other two had come was so that they could protect Qin Yi at a critical moment in case a battle broke out, so that they and Qin Yi could escape unscathed.
There was no doubt that everyone was worried about this matter.
After all, no one knew what would happen before coming here. If a battle broke out, their situation would instantly become incomparably dangerous.
After all, they were currently in Heavenly God City, and what kind of place was Heavenly God City?
It was a place with many experts, and many of them were Mystic Venerate experts.
Although they had come with Qin Yi as helpers, if a battle really broke out, it was really unclear if the three of them could really help Qin Yi escape.
When they saw the Divine King on the verge of death, they finally relaxed a little. The injured Divine King was like a tiger that had its teeth pulled out. Although he was still ferocious, he was much less of a threat now.
However, they still didn't dare to let their guard down. After all, it was precisely at times like this that they had to be even more vigilant.
This was because even though the atmosphere during the negotiation seemed to be pretty good, they ultimately still hadn't come to an agreement.
If the negotiations between the two sides broke down during this process, then they would instantly be in danger.
After all, they knew a little about the Divine King's personality from their previous understanding of him.
If the other party was angry, it was very likely that he would still start a battle at all costs. He might even be determined to kill them all and perish together!
Evidently, to Mu Chan 'er and the others, the more critical the situation was, the more they didn't dare to let down their guard.
It was also precisely because of this that they raised their vigilance to the highest throughout the entire process.
Evidently, they wanted to maintain their peak state so that they could quickly respond when danger appeared.
When a person maintained a high level of concentration, it was difficult to get rid of the feeling of exhaustion.
It was obvious that the three of them were already feeling a little tired at this point in the negotiation.
Fortunately, just as they were feeling a little tired, Qin Yi's mission was completed and both parties reached an agreement.
Since the problem had been resolved peacefully through the negotiation, there naturally wasn't much to do next.
The impending crisis that they were worried about had completely disappeared now, so everyone could relax.
Although this meant that there was no reason for them to come here, it couldn't be better for everyone to be safe.
After all, if it was possible, no one wanted to start a fight because once a fight broke out, it wouldn't be beneficial to anyone. Even if they managed to escape in the end, they would probably be unavoidably injured.
This was very difficult for them to accept as they were currently in a critical period.
Chapter 4111: Highly Respected
Mu Chan 'er was about to leave. In order to help her, everyone had to follow her when she left.
It was obvious that they were likely to face an even more difficult situation after that. If they were injured at this time, it would definitely affect their future operations to a certain extent.
Therefore, at a time like this, it was best to avoid fighting if possible.
"Since we've reached an agreement now, it means that our relationship has improved."
Qin Yi looked at the Divine King and said, "I was the one who raised the conditions before. If you have any other requests, you can tell me now. If I can, I will definitely do my best to help you. "
When he heard this, the Divine King was instantly shocked. His eyes widened as he looked at Qin Yi in a daze. For a moment, he couldn't accept the current situation.
Actually, Qin Yi had done this because he wanted to improve their relationship.
After all, the Divine King was his grandfather. Although the Divine King had done many things to him in the past and had even tried to take his life a few times, the conflict between them had intensified to the point where it couldn't be any worse.
At that time, Qin Yi had indeed hated the Divine King to the bone.
Even when Zhuge Mengyao had said these words to him earlier, Qin Yi hadn't wavered in the slightest.
In his eyes, killing the Divine King and getting rid of him completely was the only way to truly get rid of this problem.
If he didn't do this, leaving the Divine King alive would cause trouble sooner or later.
However, now, he realized that the Divine King had completely changed after going through this ordeal.
If it was before, he definitely wouldn't have such sympathy for the Divine King.
Even if he really wanted to negotiate, he definitely wouldn't use this kind of method to express goodwill to the Divine King.
Most importantly, before that, he wouldn't give in to any of the conditions that Qin Yi raised. Because that was the most ideal ending that he wanted.
However, it was also because he saw the Divine King's change in attitude that he had a new understanding of the Divine King.
After understanding many things, the Divine King gradually returned to normal. He could be considered to have gained some humanity.
His change also made Qin Yi feel that his state of mind had become more cheerful. Therefore, he decided to use this opportunity to improve his relationship with the Divine King.
"Qin Yi, I still don't understand."
The Divine King looked at Qin Yi and said, "Although we can be considered to have completed our negotiation, it's still considered an equivalent exchange between us. I don't have any benefits to give you, so why do you want me to raise conditions for you? "
In the Divine King's eyes, the negotiation between the two parties was an equivalent exchange.
Although it had always been Qin Yi raising conditions, Qin Yi had already given benefits before that.
Saving his life and giving him the secret of the Deity Race's bloodline power was Qin Yi's contribution.
Moreover, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that the exchange between the two of them seemed to be the Divine King constantly compromising, but in reality, the one who was at a disadvantage was still Qin Yi.
Not to mention the impact that the secret that Qin Yi was about to reveal would have on the Deity Race, just the fact that he had saved his life was already considered a very heavy gift.
One had to know that this was a life-saving grace. Under normal circumstances, the Divine King would have used his own life to repay this favor.
This kind of kindness was already considered rather difficult for the Divine King to accept. If he added a little more, the Divine King reckoned that he wouldn't be able to raise his head in front of Qin Yi in the future.
"The previous transaction was indeed an exchange between the two of us. On this point, we indeed took what we needed, so there's nothing more to say. "
Qin Yi looked at the Divine King and said in a very serious tone, "However, the following matter is something that I would like to help you personally. No matter what, you are still my grandfather. Perhaps I was a little disrespectful to you before, but let me do something for you. Consider it my apology. "
The Divine King was his grandfather, yet he had always been fighting with him. Although he had no choice, it was a fact that he had opposed the Divine King tit for tat and even wanted to kill him.
Therefore, this time, Qin Yi still felt that he should apologize to the Divine King.
No matter how wrong the Divine King was, he was still his elder. It really wasn't right for him to offend his superior like this. Therefore, this time, Qin Yi still felt that he should properly apologize to the Divine King and express his gratitude.
After hearing this, the Divine King's eyes couldn't help but redden.
To be honest, it had been many years since he had felt this kind of familial warmth, as well as the care and concern of the younger generation.
He was in a high position and had always been used to standing at the top alone, ordering everyone around with his orders.
As time passed, he gradually became a loner. He truly had no friends or family, and he was the kind of person who couldn't experience the love and care of those around him.
Although he did have many juniors by his side, he had never felt this kind of feeling.
In the past, the person he doted on the most was his daughter, Zhuge Mengyao. Because of Zhuge Mengyao, he had even neglected the few sons he valued the most.
However, in the end, the daughter he doted on the most became the first person to disobey his orders.
Most importantly, after returning, Zhuge Mengyao had developed a deep resentment towards him. The father and daughter were like enemies, and basically every conversation between the two would end on bad terms.
To be honest, Zhuge Mengyao's behavior was quite heartbreaking to him as a father.
Furthermore, there were two juniors that he valued in the clan: Zhuge Zimo and Zhuge Zichen.
Both of them were his grandchildren, but they had never treated him with the respect an elder should have.
Zhuge Zimo was the most typical example. Although this grandson of his was very obedient, and basically all his orders were followed unconditionally, the Divine King could tell that the respect Zhuge Zimo had for him was not the respect a junior would have for an elder.
Zhuge Zimo knew the rules very well, and he was very clear about his position. He had always treated the Divine King as his superior, and he would always follow the Divine King's orders. He would do everything according to his instructions.
However, other than that, he didn't express anything else to the Divine King. It was as if the communication between him and the Divine King was to complete a mission.
Even when the Divine King revealed his concern, he would respond coldly!
Chapter 4112 – Lonely Divine King
Honestly speaking, although Zhuge Zimo's behavior didn't seem to be wrong, the Divine King still felt very uncomfortable when he thought about it occasionally.
After all, other than the relationship of a ruler and a subject, they were also related by blood.
He also hoped that his grandson would sometimes make a request to him and complain to him.
Even if there were some arguments between them, the Divine King felt that it could strengthen the relationship between them.
However, it wasn't known if Zhuge Zimo did it on purpose, or if he really didn't understand these things, but he didn't resist the Divine King's words at all. Everything was done perfectly, and he completely treated himself as a subject when interacting with the Divine King.
There was nothing wrong with doing this, but it lacked some human touch.
It was also because of this that the Divine King didn't like Zhuge Zimo very much.
After all, the relationship between the two of them was too cold. It was so cold that he couldn't even feel the existence of a familial relationship between them. How could he show more love and care for Zhuge Zimo like this?
Actually, the reason why Zhuge Zimo became like this was because of the Divine King himself.
As the Divine King, he had always put himself on a high pedestal. In front of everyone, he acted like he was full of prestige.
This way, although everyone would respect him, it was only a matter of time before they became cold towards each other.
On the other hand, it was because of Zhuge Mengyao.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the relationship between Zhuge Mengyao and Zhuge Zimo was quite good.
Ever since they were young, Zhuge Mengyao took good care of Zhuge Zimo. It could be said that she was very concerned about this nephew of hers.
When a child remembers things, they would still have a deep memory of the people around them.
They would remember who was good to them and who was bad to them.
It was because of this that Zhuge Zimo was quite dependent on his aunt, Zhuge Mengyao.
If the relationship between the two of them could be maintained, perhaps Zhuge Zimo would go in a completely different direction as he grew up. Perhaps he would not have treated the Divine King in such a manner.
Unfortunately, not long after, Zhuge Mengyao was imprisoned because of her marriage with a human. From then on, the number of times Zhuge Zimo could see Zhuge Mengyao decreased.
Moreover, every time they met, he would see Zhuge Mengyao's depressed expression.
Without a doubt, such a scene would be a huge blow to a person like Zhuge Zimo who was still growing up.
From that moment onwards, his opinion of his grandfather, the Godking, had changed.
Although he did not show it on the surface, he was still very dissatisfied with the way the Divine King imprisoned Zhuge Mengyao.
It was also because of this that in his heart, the Divine King had already become an unreachable person. He had no feelings, did not understand how to empathize with the younger generation, and was a stubborn person.
After his view was established, the feelings that Zhuge Zimo had for the Divine King naturally disappeared. All that was left was the attitude of obedience to their superiors.
However, even though he appeared to be obedient on the surface, deep down, he still had his own views. When he was dealing with matters, he did many things that appeared to agree on the surface but opposed on the inside. It was just that he was smarter and did not leave behind any traces of what he did. Therefore, he would not be discovered.
However, after both parties had reached this stage, it was already an extravagant hope for the Divine King to feel a bit of concern and warmth from his grandson from Zhuge Zimo.
It was also because of this that the Divine King gradually distanced himself from Zhuge Zimo.
His concern and love that he had nowhere to vent finally fell on Zhuge Zichen.
Although Zhuge Zichen was a spoiled brat, he would always look for the Divine King for help when he encountered any problems. This made the Divine King feel like he was a grandfather.
However, he didn't get anything in return for his excessive care and concern.
Zhuge Zichen had always been a brainless person who only knew how to do evil.
Although he was ambitious, he did not have a brain and did not have much ability.
This could be seen from the way he treated Qin Yi.
He only needed to observe in the dark to see if he could find evidence of Qin Yi cheating.
If he really completed the mission this way, not only would he receive a reward from the God King, but he would also be able to prove to everyone that he still had hope of accomplishing other things.
However, he didn't expect that the Celestial King would give him such a simple task, and in the end, he would actually end up like that. Putting aside the fact that he had not completed the mission, he had been beaten to a pulp by Qin Yi after returning!
From then on, the Divine King gradually became disappointed in him.
Of course, incompetence and stupidity are one thing. The thing that the Divine King could not stand the most was that he had clearly invested so much care and concern into Zhuge Zichen, but Zhuge Zichen was like a fool from the beginning to the end. Zhuge Zichen did not seem to understand his good intentions at all.
Not only did he continue to do as he pleased, but he also continued to do things that would harm him.
The Divine King had actually seen everything that Zhuge Zichen had done. However, because he had always been biased, he had always turned a blind eye and pretended not to see many things.
However, as time passed, he no longer held any hope for Zhuge Zichen.
It wasn't that this fellow was pretending to not understand, but he was indeed a fool who could not understand the Divine King's good intentions at all.
Of course, the reason why Zhuge Zichen had turned out like this was definitely because of him.
If he hadn't spoiled Zhuge Zichen so much, perhaps Zhuge Zichen would have grown up in an environment of intense competition and become a rather decent genius descendant.
Zhuge Zhuge's talent was actually not bad at all. This could also be seen from the fact that after Red Dress had taken over his body, she had displayed an extremely fast cultivation speed. However, all this while, he had gotten used to living under the Divine King's protection, which resulted in him becoming a complete cripple.
His current situation made the Divine King feel that he was indeed rather lonely. Basically, he was the kind of person who could not even feel any love.
However, he had never expected that the love that he had always wanted would be found in Qin Yi.
