The Demon Lotus Emperor gradually began to appreciate Lynn Luyao.
After all, such a bold girl was rare these days.
He looked at Lynn Luyao with a faint smile, recounting some matters regarding Wei Chen.
The Demon Lotus Emperor naturally knew the boundaries of what could and could not be discussed. He was well aware that some of Wei Chen's affairs were not meant to see the light of day. While he had some fondness for Lynn Luyao, he wouldn't divulge every little detail. Selectively enhancing her understanding of Wei Chen was about as far as he would go.
Meanwhile, Wei Chen was conversing with Sea Emperor Nanfeng.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng's spirits were low; he had suffered a crushing defeat against the Dark Mage, and the confidence he had built up over time had been utterly shattered by a single blow from the Dark Mage.
With his powerful confidence gone, he was left feeling somewhat dejected.
"Sea Emperor, you really don't need to feel down at all," Wei Chen said softly, understanding Sea Emperor Nanfeng's mood.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng forced a bitter smile and replied, "Wei Chen, it's easy for you to say. No matter how I look at it, the gap between me and your grandfather is just too vast."
"I never thought I could defeat your grandfather. After all, he's the strongest in the entire Demon Realm. It would be strange if anyone could beat him. I just feel frustrated that I was defeated so easily. I'm also at the Martial Emperor Realm; how could the gap between us be so enormous?"
Sea Emperor Nanfeng sighed repeatedly. It wasn't just about being defeated by the Dark Mage; it was about how humiliating the loss had been. If he could have battled for three hundred rounds and put up a good fight before losing, it would have been an honorable defeat. But now, losing in one blow left him utterly humiliated.
Such a loss was unacceptable to Sea Emperor Nanfeng.
Yet no matter how hard it was to accept, it was still the truth, and Sea Emperor Nanfeng felt powerless. He deeply understood that as long as the Dark Mage remained in the Demon Realm, he would never become its strongest.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng's ambitions were undeniable. In reality, anyone who reached the Martial Emperor Realm aspired to be the strongest in the Demon Realm; that was a mark of great honor.
It’s a pity…
It’s a pity that the Dark Mage is just too strong!
With the Dark Mage looming above, Sea Emperor Nanfeng knew that his wishes would forever remain unfulfilled.
Wei Chen looked at Sea Emperor Nanfeng and smiled lightly, “Sea Emperor, have you ever considered how many more years my grandfather has practiced than you? When you reach my grandfather's age, you will also be the strongest in the Demon Realm.”
Wei Chen’s words of comfort had no effect.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng frowned and said, “You think too simply. Before I fought your grandfather, I thought the same way. After facing him, I realized how naive I was. Your grandfather's strength has already surpassed the Martial Emperor Realm. As for the specifics of his realm, I can't say for sure, but I can confidently tell you that your grandfather's power is no longer within the Martial Emperor Realm. At the very least, he has one foot out of it, stepping into a realm I can hardly even imagine.”
“Is my grandfather really that strong?” Wei Chen asked in surprise.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng replied, “Very strong indeed. Now I understand that the Three Great Races of the Demon Realm have been constantly battling against the Nine Immortal Realm. Meanwhile, our Sea Tribe has been reigning supreme in the Endless Sea without participating in those battles, which is not a good thing.”
“Previously, the Sea Tribe's Four Great Kings actually negotiated whether to send troops to fight against the Nine Immortal Realm. After all, we are all beings of the Demon Realm, and fighting against the Nine Immortal Realm is our duty. However, the consensus was to refrain from participating and focus on our own development.”
“Because of that, we haven’t gained sufficient experience; instead, it has become our shackles. The Three Great Clans have been continuously improving. Strength like your grandfather's is honed through constant battles and bloodshed; quiet cultivation cannot achieve such power.”
“The Sea Tribe across our four great seas has chosen the wrong path. Now, we Four Great Sea Clans have already fallen far behind your Three Great Races of the Demon Realm.”
Sea Emperor Nanfeng chuckled bitterly and sighed deeply before continuing, “Ironically, our Sea Tribe in the four great seas still feels pleased with ourselves, thinking that while your Three Great Races are fighting against the Nine Immortal Realm, we can rest and recuperate without engaging in battle and eventually surpass you Three Great Clans. But in reality, our thoughts are quite laughable.”
“Without experience, without combat, without trials of life and death, without the impact of blood and sand, our Sea Tribe’s aspirations to surpass your Three Great Clans are nothing but a Sword Mountain.”
“And as time goes on, the distance between us grows wider; at this point, it seems impossible to catch up.”
Sea Emperor Nanfeng felt a pang of heartache. He aspired to surpass the Three Great Clans, but looking at the current situation, how could he achieve that?
Not only was surpassing impossible, even catching up seemed out of reach!
The pain of Sea Emperor Nanfeng was something Wei Chen could not comprehend. Not being in his position, Wei Chen lacked the ability to empathize with his struggles.
However, he had his own unique insights.
"Sea Emperor, it's actually quite simple. You can negotiate with the Three Great Clans of the Demon Domain and sign a contract. In future battles against the Nine Immortal Realm, you can send troops to participate. I believe the Three Great Clans would be more than willing to let you deploy your forces," Wei Chen said lightly.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng replied, "Wei Chen, you are thinking too simplistically. The Four Great Sea Clans are not united. Just because I think this way doesn’t mean the other Three Great Clans will share my views. I've seen those three Sea Emperors; their ambitions are shallow and they lack vision. They won't accomplish anything significant."
"That's easy enough. You should unify those seas and become the Sea Emperor of the entire Endless Sea. Wouldn't that be better?" Wei Chen smiled faintly.
Upon hearing this, Sea Emperor Nanfeng narrowed his eyes, and the feeling of despair vanished in an instant.
His gaze gradually filled with determination as he looked at Wei Chen and said, "That is one of my aspirations. With Philippe King dead, the predicament in the Philippine Sea is no more. It’s time to deal with those spineless Sea Emperors."
The dominance of Sea Emperor Nanfeng began to emerge; why wallow in despair? A man should stand tall and live with dignity—that is the true path of a king!
"I can only wish you success," Wei Chen said with a calm smile.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng responded, "Thank you for your blessing. Our South Sea Region is strong and formidable; those Three Great Clans are no match for us. With you here, at least I can feel reassured."
"What should I be reassured about?" Wei Chen asked.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng replied, "Reassured to confront those Three Great Clans. Your presence signifies an opportunity for our South Sea Clan."
"If it weren't for you, even if I had the strength to deal with the Three Great Sea Clans, I wouldn't dare to act recklessly. I would have to remain cautious against the invasion of your Black Magic Clan. But now, you're in our South Sea Region, and your Black Magic Clan won't attack us, so I can act boldly without worry."
Sea Emperor Nanfeng looked at Wei Chen, his eyes filled with gratitude.
How could he not be grateful?
The South Sea Sea Clan was about to rise to prominence, potentially becoming the overlord of the entire Endless Sea. It was Wei Chen who reassured Sea Emperor Nanfeng; it was Wei Chen who killed Philippe King, allowing Sea Emperor Nanfeng to finally spread his wings.
Unknowingly, because of Wei Chen, the South Sea Sea Clan was no longer the timid South Sea Sea Clan of before.
Indeed, Wei Chen's contributions to the South Sea Sea Clan were immense, and it was no wonder that Sea Emperor Nanfeng held such deep respect for him.
"Heh, that's also why you didn't deal with me. If you had attacked me when I first arrived in the South Sea Region, the situation would be entirely different now," Wei Chen said with a faint smile.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng nodded in agreement. "That's right. If I had dealt with you back then, who knows? I might already be dead, and my South Sea Sea Clan would have been wiped out by your Black Magic Clan. Your Black Magic Clan is truly too powerful. Just your grandfather alone could have annihilated our South Sea Sea Clan's upper echelons."
Sea Emperor Nanfeng held great admiration for the Dark Mage's strength, but Wei Chen still couldn't comprehend just how strong his grandfather was to earn such respect from Sea Emperor Nanfeng.
According to Sea Emperor Nanfeng's standards, the Dark Mage had already stepped into the Martial Emperor Realm—what kind of realm was that?
Beyond that lay the realm of the Ancient World!
Sea Emperor Nanfeng felt incredibly fortunate that he had made the right choice back then. If he had listened to those shortsighted subordinates' slanders, who knows what might have happened?
Wei Chen smiled and said, "Sea Emperor, since that's the case, I wish you success soon. I'm heading to the Sea God Palace now; please feel free to do as you wish."
Sea Emperor Nanfeng asked with concern, "Wei Chen, are you really set on going to the Sea God Palace?"
"I've been there once, it's quite safe," Wei Chen said lightly.
The Sea Emperor Nanfeng replied, "As long as you feel safe, that's fine. To me, it seems like an extremely dangerous place."
"It doesn't matter. I'll be back in two years," Wei Chen said.
"Trust your own heart. If your grandfather can let you stay here and feels at ease, then I have nothing to worry about either. I will have people stationed here, and when you come out, we can meet on my South Sea Island. By then, perhaps the entire Endless Sea will already be under my control," Sea Emperor Nanfeng said confidently.
Wei Chen was surprised. "In two years, you think you can rule the Endless Sea?"
"Everything is possible with effort," Sea Emperor Nanfeng replied with a calm smile.
Wei Chen couldn't help but marvel. To rule the Sea Tribe and unify the Endless Sea, Sea Emperor Nanfeng would not just be facing one faction but the Three Great Sea Clans! Originally, Wei Chen thought it would be a protracted battle, but he didn't expect Sea Emperor Nanfeng to be so confident.
"By the way, Sea Emperor, are you still planning to raid the Red Demon Tribe for food this year?" Wei Chen asked.
He had promised the Red Demon Tribe and Lynn Luyao that he would do his best to stop it. Now, it was no longer a matter of trying hard; given his current relationship with Sea Emperor Nanfeng, it would be a simple matter of just saying a word.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Could we consider a barter system? With the Battle of the Sea Tribe approaching, I don't want to create any conflicts with your Black Magic Clan's territory."
"Bartering is feasible. You can send someone to the Red Demon Tribe to contact my friend. He can act as an intermediary to negotiate the exchange of food with the Red Demon Tribe," Wei Chen agreed with Sea Emperor Nanfeng's suggestion. Bartering would benefit both sides. However, perhaps the higher-ups in the Black Magic Clan would not want to see such a situation develop. After all, they were counting on the Sea Tribe's invasion of the mainland to suppress those factions, allowing the Black Magic Clan to stand out alone.
But times change. Wei Chen believed that in the future, the Demon Domain mainland would be peaceful and stable, and soon enough, the Red Demon Tribe would also fall under the Black Magic Clan's influence.
