The Barbarian opened his mouth, wanting to say sothing, but when the words reached his lips, he just couldn’t get them out.
At this mont, he finally understood why, after the Outer Realm Captain descended, the people around him hadn’t shown any extre fear.
All of this... was simply because he was too young.
He was a powerhouse of this era; he had never gone through an era’s change, never experienced the course of history.
His perspective was, imperceptibly, a level lower than that of the Fisherman and the others.
For the Fisherman and the others, even an era-ending catastrophe was just that—at worst, let the world adjust itself and quietly wait for the next era to arrive.
The Barbarian slumped; he felt a bit powerless.
Even though he already knew in his heart that the Fisherman’s words made a lot of sense, he still stubbornly snorted coldly at this mont: "Since you’re not going to help , then why are you here? Don’t tell you ca just to lecture with these grand principles?"
"I’m here to save you."
The Fisherman spoke in a low voice, his expression calm.
"Save ? What do I have that needs saving from you?"
The Barbarian powerhouse let out a cold laugh and spoke in a low voice.
"You’re injured. That actually ans you’re no longer much stronger than those Outer Realm Captains. They’re gradually catching up to you."
"If that were all, then fine—at most, it would just an that one day they escape from here."
"But now, soone has laid a sche, intending to wipe you out inside the Divine Hall. If you continue to stay here, you’ll be attacked from front and back, besieged and killed."
"Soone’s scheming? Who?!"
The Barbarian growled in a low, furious voice.
"Fang Yu!"
The Fisherman spoke calmly.
"Fang Yu?" The Barbarian was stunned.
He had always been studying the Outer Realm Captains, and always targeting them. A large number of Outer Realm Captains had lost their sea ships in his hands and beco no different from natives.
And naturally, a captain like Fang Yu, who was very famous among the Blue Star Captains, was not unfamiliar to him. He had even set his sights on Fang Yu before.
Hearing Fang Yu’s na at this mont, the Barbarian was slightly surprised: "He shouldn’t have the ability to join forces with those people and defeat ."
"Fang Yu doesn’t have the ability, but what about the Sea Race behind Fang Yu?"
The Fisherman spoke calmly: "Decades ago, you occupied the Divine Hall and seized the Sea Race’s supre treasure for yourself. The Sea Race hates you to the bone."
"Now Fang Yu has united the Sea Race and these Outer Realm Captains, preparing to join hands against you."
"Either side alone you don’t fear. But if the two join forces, you are absolutely not their match."
Hearing the Fisherman’s words, the Barbarian’s expression changed again and again. He gritted his teeth: "Why are you coming here to hypocritically help ?"
"One day in the future, I’ll need you to help strip Fang Yu of his sea ship. In this world, you’re currently the only one who has researched the ability to strip an Outer Realm Captain of their sea ship."
"So that’s how it is..."
The Barbarian let out a cold laugh and said indifferently, "Then why don’t you help kill these Outer Realm Captains first? My crisis would naturally be resolved, so why would I need to hide?"
"No."
The Fisherman said coldly, "Stripping sea ships left owing you a favor, so I ca to warn you of the coming crisis."
"But as for matters of the Outer Realm Captains, I will absolutely not interfere. Their descent is not simple; there are many things involved behind them. Soone might want to use them to do sothing."
"If I step into this cause and effect to stir things up, what will likely await is an annihilating disaster."
"If the sea ships are gone, at worst we wait for the next era. But if a person dies, then there’s no next chance."
The Fisherman spoke in a low voice, and at the sa ti his gaze fell on the Barbarian before him as he said in a low voice, with a deeper aning, "Don’t you think that by tricking these Outer Realm Captains into this place and constantly targeting and tempering them, you not only failed to lead them to destruction, you actually patched up their weaknesses and pushed them further forward?"
Hearing the Fisherman’s words, the Barbarian’s heart suddenly jolted; he snapped awake: "You an... I had already entered the ga long ago and beco a piece used to temper the Outer Realm Captains?"
The Fisherman neither confird nor denied it, rely looking at the Barbarian calmly: "We already saw it clearly years ago. It’s just that you still needed to serve your purpose, so none of us dared to save you."
"Now that you’ve already served your tempering role and are about to beco a discarded piece, your life and death no longer matter. So if I rescue you now, I won’t bear much cause and effect."
Hearing the Fisherman’s words, the Barbarian powerhouse felt as if struck by lightning.
He stood there in a daze, scenes of past events appearing one after another in his mind.
In the course of these events, there always seed to be a pair of invisible hands. One "coincidence" after another made him hate the Outer Realm Captains and fear them in his heart.
He had even ford this Peacekeeping Council under soone’s manipulation and guidance, step by step.
"The one behind the layout... is..."
His eyes suddenly widened, as if he had thought of sothing.
But just then, the Fisherman shot him a cold glance and gave a slight shake of his head, instantly making him shut his mouth, not daring to speak that person’s identity.
After understanding everything, cold sweat poured down the Barbarian powerhouse’s back, and then he directly knelt down to the Fisherman: "Thank you, sir, for waking up. Otherwise, in a few days it would have been my doom."
"This place is far too perilous. Even if I escape this calamity, that person likely won’t let go. Sir, I beg you, save !"
Seeing the Barbarian like this, the corners of the Fisherman’s mouth pulled into a stiff smile. He then spoke in a low voice: "Leave that supre treasure in the Divine Hall, then co away with ."
"Return the treasure to the Divine Hall?"
The Barbarian hesitated a little.
His supre treasure was the key to igniting Sea Beast bloodlines and making the Sea Beasts he raised grow stronger.
In his early years roaming the world, he relied on the Sea Beasts under his command to win himself the title of Sea Beast King.
After seizing the Divine Hall’s treasure, the Sea Beasts’ growth had gone up another level, making his strength even greater.
Now losing the supre treasure that could enhance oceanic bloodlines was equivalent to losing part of his combat power; how could that not make him hesitate?
Seeing the Sea Beast King’s hesitation, the Fisherman glanced at him lightly and said in a low voice, "You think you can take the treasure away?"
"That person has already calculated everything. Fang Yu is the key to this ga. He probably needs to borrow Fang Yu’s hand to unite the Outer Realm Captains with the Sea Race and, using the war on the West Cyan Continent, help the Outer Realm Captains truly rise."
"You were originally supposed to die in this battle and drop the supre treasure for Fang Yu."
"But I’m taking you away and sparing you from this mortal calamity. If you still dare to take the treasure away, then I’ll likely be targeted by that person as well."
Hearing the Fisherman’s words, cold sweat broke out all over the Sea Beast King.
He looked at the supre treasure in his hand. He had never imagined that not only was he a piece used to temper the Outer Realm Captains, but even his occupation of the supre treasure had been calculated, used as a link for Fang Yu to enlist the Sea Race.
What treasure could be more important than his life?
After thinking this through, although the Sea Beast King felt extrely reluctant, he still placed the supre treasure at the center of the Divine Hall.
After doing this, the Sea Beast King no longer had any attachnt in his heart. He gave a soft call toward the surface of the sea, and a crowd of Sea Beasts raised their heads out of the water and then directly burrowed into an inconspicuous little cloth bag in the Sea Beast King’s hand.
The Fisherman rely watched coldly from the side. Seeing the Sea Beast King finish all of this and then obediently co to his side, assuming the posture of a follower, he couldn’t help but nod slightly:
"Let’s go. A chess piece isn’t necessarily unable to turn into a standard-bearer. While that person’s attention is drawn away by Fang Yu and the war on the West Cyan Continent, we can still arrange so things. The future won’t necessarily end in defeat to him."
"Yes, sir."
With his eyes lowered, the Sea Beast King deeply felt his own immaturity from what the Fisherman had told him today.
Dealing with these old monsters who had each lived for several eras was truly an extrely perilous affair.
If he didn’t take shelter behind one of them, even if he didn’t die today, he would likely find it hard to escape the fate of being a chess piece in the future.
The two of them moved, and directly disappeared from above the ocean.
