Chapter 10159 10158-
In other words, he had control over the East Sea and the West Sea. The fifth royal family, the Qin family, was his die-hard loyalty. The top five advisors were all his fighters. Most importantly, he was also the sea God\'s representative who could summon the sea god\'s avatar on the spot.
In the face of all these dazzling titles, the official identity of the Sea King, which was determined by the sea god, was not worth mentioning.
If even such a person couldn\'t rank in the top ten of the sea realm, then the others didn\'t even need to think.
In an instant, Lin Yi\'s name became the biggest topic of discussion in the sea area.
From an unknown grassroots practitioner to a rising star in such a short time, Lin Yi was already a legend in the sea realm.
Although many people had mentioned him before, their words were filled with ridicule. There were many people who said that he was a villain.
But now, these voices had disappeared overnight.
This was human nature.
When you surpassed them, they would be jealous of you and slander you. However, once the gap between you and them widened, once you reached a point where they couldn\'t even look up to you, all that was left was admiration.
The change was too sudden, and many of Lin Yi\'s supporters couldn\'t get used to it.
They\'d been criticized a lot because they\'d been speaking up for Lin Yi, but now, all of them had become hardcore fans, all of them claiming to have been on Lin Yi\'s side since ancient times.
In terms of flattering Lin Yi, he was even better than them.
The world was just so magical.
But as the person involved, Lin Yi didn\'t mind at all.
Public opinion was sometimes powerful, but most of the time, it was useless. Most importantly, it could turn around 180 degrees at any time. If one were to waste time on it, one would suffer from schizophrenia.
There were only two things he was most concerned about.
First, the whereabouts of the West Ocean dragonfinch.
Secondly, he had to break through the eighteen levels of hell.
There was no need to mention the former. He had already taken control of the West Ocean. Be it the new King of the West Ocean in name, ao Huang, or the other princes who were enfeoffed by the order of grace, they could only choose to side with him for the sake of their own situation.
However, as long as the dragonbird guard didn\'t show up, they would always be a ticking time bomb.
If they were controlled by some ambitious person in the dark and waited for an opportunity, it would definitely be a fatal hidden danger for the future.
If he was stabbed in the back when he was about to die, even with Lin Yi\'s current power, he might not be able to take it.
As for the latter, it was directly related to the lifeline of all the Marine human tribe. In order to truly control the sea realm, one must break through the eighteen levels of hell. This had long been a consensus of the entire sea realm.
Whoever could control the eighteen levels of hell would be the true sovereign of the sea!
Lin Yi wasn\'t interested in the title, but if he wanted to borrow the sea realm\'s power to fight against the beast God Hall, this was the only realistic option.
Otherwise, he wouldn\'t have the power to fight the beast God Hall head-on. He would have to be a coward forever with Tang Yun and the others.
More importantly, he had a strong premonition that if the beast God Hall was allowed to invade on a large scale, he would not be safe even if he controlled the New World.
It wasn\'t that Lin Yi didn\'t want to do it, but he wasn\'t interested in doing it if it meant he had no future.
At the same time, in the sea god\'s Palace.
The high priest\'s face was solemn as he looked at the gray shadow in front of him.
Although they were not directly involved in this incident, they were the main driving force behind the scenes. If it were not for them, the previous commotion would not have been so big.
But now, all of that had been converted into Lin Yi\'s personal influence. It was appropriate to say that he\'d gone for wool and come home shorn.
"That brat actually became successful. Interesting."
The gray shadow broke the silence with a chuckle."The East Sea and the West Sea, plus the fifth royal family, the Qin family. Now, half of the territory in the entire sea area is under his control. Compared to him, you, the high priest, are simply a pitiful worm."
The high priest shook his head indifferently,""Territory is just a minor detail. It doesn\'t matter. The key is the power in his hands."
With his strength and the power of the priest branch, if he wanted to, he could easily take over a territory that wasn\'t any weaker than Lin Yi \'s, let alone the royal families.
However, in his opinion, such a thing was meaningless.
The size of the territory didn\'t represent one\'s strength. If one wasn\'t strong enough, then no matter how big the territory was, it would just be a burden. If Lin Yi didn\'t have the support of the top five advisors, he wouldn\'t even be worth mentioning.
He was not being arrogant, but he was making the most objective and realistic assessment.
The gray shadow sneered."The most important thing now is to figure out the origin of the sea god\'s avatar. The sea god is already in such a state. It\'s hard to say whether he\'s Dead or Alive. How could he still have the energy to descend?"
"There\'s indeed something fishy about this matter. "
The high priest furrowed his brows."There\'s another suspicious point. How did ao Yuzhou disappear? no one can say for sure."
The gray shadow was full of regret."If I had known, I would have gone there. At least one thing is certain now. That kid must be hiding a huge secret. I have a feeling that if we can figure it out, it might be of great use to master."
The high priest shook his head."Master is about to arrive. Don\'t do anything unnecessary. As long as we can stabilize the overall situation, whatever they do will be in vain."
The gray shadow said unwillingly,"are we just going to let it be?" With that brat\'s attitude, if he makes a bigger commotion, he might really ruin master\'s big plan!"
"That\'s why ... I have to give him something to do. "
A portrait of a little girl had appeared in the high priest\'s hand.
In the following period of time, under the push of all kinds of people, Lin Yi\'s reputation grew bigger and bigger, and many people even said that he was a popular candidate for the ruler of the sea.
But the more he acted like this, the more enemies he made for Lin Yi.
Soon, the momentum of public opinion reversed again.
There were still a lot of people on Lin Yi\'s side, but compared to a while ago, the voices against Lin Yi were clearly getting louder and stronger.
