But the problem was that asking for a divine judgment was a very serious matter.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, the people under him would never easily ask for divine judgment. After all, if they disturbed the Lord seagod's peace, it would be a great sin to their group of believers.
This was especially so for the matter at hand, where the high priest could clearly make a decision on his own. There was no reason for this.
The situation was in a stalemate.
"I thought the high priest was the one who would share the Lord sea God's burden the most," Madam Qing said faintly."It seems that we have misunderstood."
The other side's request for a divine judgment didn't sound like a problem at first, but everyone knew that the high priest was the sea god's first spokesperson. Unless it touched the sea god's bottom line, all his words and deeds would be acquiesced.
If they really did call for a judgment, the high priest would probably decide the outcome. No one believed that the high and mighty gods would make an appearance just for Lin Yi, especially for such an insignificant request.
To put it bluntly, this was an open scheme.
The high priest was clearly using his status to reject Lin Yi, and he was using the sea God's words so no one could object.
"The seagod Hall's followers, each one will do their best to share Lord seagod's worries. Everyone's intentions are the same, no one is superior or inferior.
In this dispute, he stood on the side of the commander. He had his reasons for considering the big picture, and it was only natural for him to stand on the side of King hai hai.
Since neither of us can convince the other, I won't rashly favor either side. Asking for a divine judgment is the most appropriate method.
What do you two think?"
"I have no problem with it, everything will be in accordance with Lord seagod's will," the commander hurriedly said.
This declaration was not unexpected at all.
After all, he was about to fight cruel malevolence. If he disobeyed the high priest now, he would be offending both sides at the same time. How could he live in the future?
Everyone turned to look at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi wouldn't agree if he could see the trick behind the scenes, but to everyone's surprise, Lin Yi actually nodded in agreement!
"I have no problem with that either. Let's invite the divine judgment then."
Madam Qing and the others couldn't help but look surprised.
They were prepared to fight for Lin Yi again, but now that even the owner herself had agreed, what else could they say?
Du Hong, the fifth Walker, twitched his mouth speechlessly and sent a divine sense message to the others,""Tsk, tsk. We were just about to fight to the death. Why did Your Majesty surrender first? I thought that you were an extraordinary and ruthless character, but you softened the moment this old man came."
The rest of them did not say anything, but their eyes were filled with disappointment.
They wanted to recruit Lin Yi to deal with the high priest, but they didn't think that Lin Yi would pull them away when it was time for real. What was the point of recruiting him?
Madam Qing looked at lang mie, who was lost in thought, and said,""Don't be impatient, let's continue watching. "
Now that he had gained the approval of both sides, the high priest immediately began to ask for divine judgment in front of everyone.
A powerful mental strength immediately reached the depths of the sea goddess Hall.
After a short while, a Supreme Oracle was sent back.
Sensing the hidden message in the Oracle, the high priest's expression remained unchanged, but an imperceptible shock flashed through his eyes.
"May I know what Lord seagod's judgment is?"
Madam Qing asked on behalf of the others.
This time, the Oracle was different from the sea god's version of the order of grace. It was not announced to the public but directly issued to everyone's sea of consciousness. Instead, it was a one-to-one Oracle reply.
The high priest was the first to receive the Oracle.
This was normal. According to the process, this should be the case. Otherwise, the high priest would not have been the first spokesperson of the sea god.
Whether in law or in reality, the will of the sea God has the right to explain.
However, the crowd was not worried that he could do whatever he wanted. After all, even though the Oracle could be interpreted from all angles, it could not be changed from the root.
If anyone raised any doubts, he would have to disclose the contents of the Oracle.
Therefore, from the high priest's perspective, even if he could give some ambiguous interpretation because of his personal preference, it was still very risky to completely reverse right and wrong.
Unless he could come to an agreement with the other big shots of the sea god's Palace and suppress all the opposing voices.
Unfortunately, in the current power structure, this was simply unrealistic.
The high priest looked at Lin Yi and spoke slowly,""Lord seagod's meaning is that with the current situation in the sea realm, stability should be the priority."
The commander was delighted.
The divine Hall guards were the most important bargaining chip to maintain stability. In this case, it was impossible to attack his divine Hall guards.
However, Madam Qing said,"the position of King hai hai is directly related to the stability of the four Seas. Since the Lord seagod's decree is so clear, let's follow King hai Hai's suggestion as soon as possible."
“……”
The commander's face turned red.""You're being unreasonable. Anyone with eyes can see what stability means. Madam Qing, are you going to publicly distort the will of the Lord sea god for a young boy?"
Madam Qing looked at him calmly and said,""Did I twist it? The Sea King selection was the Lord seagod's most important matter during this period of time. With the sea region suffering from internal and external problems, wasn't this position important?
Or does the commander think that Lord seagod is making a mountain out of a molehill?"
The commander choked again. He snorted and turned to the high priest."The high priest has the most right to speak about the interpretation of the Oracle. Everything should be based on his interpretation. I'm too lazy to argue with you."
"That's good," Madam Qing said with a smile."We're all ears."
The group of top five advisors also revealed expressions of interest.
Although this seemed to be giving the high priest the initiative, to a certain extent, it was also putting the high priest on the fire. After all, any interpretation with a clear bias could become the target of attack. Only an ambiguous way to muddle the situation could stand in an undefeatable position.
The other party would either not make a clear statement, and everyone would continue to fight this war of words.
Once they decided on a side, they'd offend Lin Yi and push him to their side completely. It wasn't a bad deal for the walkers.
Under everyone's gaze, the high priest smiled and nodded to the commander.
However, before the commander could be happy, he suddenly changed the topic.""The temple guards are the stabilizer of the sea god's Palace and even the entire sea area. Although they are extremely important, it should not be a big problem to temporarily withdraw a Brigade.
On the other hand, the coastal Sea King's side would have a hard time without the personal guard unit. This matter is even more urgent, and the Lord seagod's decree also has this intention. "
