"Plus the power extracted from that gun in the Realm of the Dead, and those entities with power that you captured in the Dream realm, Heavenly Mountain, and the Abyss; all of it combined is enough for you to break open the Origin Mud Plate, descend to the roots, and seize the source of this world."

Going to the Realm of the Dead...

The mermaid beauty hesitated slightly before decisively shaking her head and saying:

"No, I don't want to do that."

"???"

The shell earring was slightly stunned by her words, then seemed to realize something, and said incredulously:

"You want to keep that bizarre resurrection object and resurrect the cleaners you eliminated during this time? Even at this point you still want to hold back? You haven't prepared to seize all the roots?"

"I am not holding back, it's just unnecessary."

Calmly, the mermaid beauty replied:

"My Sea Realm is ranked 9th, while the human world is ranked 3rd, positioned much higher than my Sea Realm, thus it is larger and contains a richer source.

So taking half of the roots is enough for me to use; I just want to resurrect my people and my world, there is no need to exterminate them completely."

Is that why you want the Sea Race to relocate slowly and yet still won't deal a heavy blow to the Cleaners? You... naive!

"What's the difference between these two results?"

Finding that the mermaid beauty really seemed to be planning this, the shell earring couldn't help but ridicule:

"After you take away half of the roots, the world will shrink drastically, with half of it turning into a barren land like the Netherworld, and the human population will significantly decrease, making you still the most hated enemy of all creatures in this world, including the Sea Race.

Furthermore, you've seen the potential of the Food God, having done such excessive things to him and his world, you wouldn't expect him to brush it off lightly, to not go to the Netherworld and find trouble with you, right?

Also, you've noticed how tough the directors of the Cleaners are — if you let them go now, giving them a chance to be resurrected, do you think they would thank you, or go to the Netherworld to seize back the roots you took?"

"That is a matter for the future."

Recalling Leon's expression and appearance, the mermaid beauty couldn't help but press her lips slightly, then spoke:

"I know exactly what I'm doing, you all just need to help."

"Haven't I given you the solution already?"

"As I said, I don't want to do that."

Grasping the shell earring, the mermaid beauty boldly demanded:

"You need to give me several other ways."

Not… several? There isn't even one!

The shell earring retorted angrily:

"You're being too much! We just can't break open Watcher's Palace, needing your help to deal with humans and the Food God! Are you still treating us as…"

"Sorry, though you are my allies, it seems you don't have the right to refuse my proposal."

"???"

You don't think I sent Leon to Ring Time Mountain, and deliberately helped him avoid your ambush just because I have a thing for him, do you?

Interrupting the shell earring, the mermaid beauty lifted it, glanced at the slightly blushing shell earring sideways, and then threatened:

"Give me another method, or else I'll go to the Netherworld to bring back the Food God, and then teach him how to activate the roots, how to refine the color of the roots into the essence of roots, and even instruct him on the method to stabilize time with roots, then I'll give him all the roots you return to me."

"?!!!"

"My dear allies, you'd better obediently help me, and seriously think about what other ways are available to break open the Origin Mud Plate of the Source God Platform."

After flicking the dumbfounded shell earring, the mermaid beauty chuckled and asked:

"You wouldn't want to see a Food God who can traverse time, killing from the past to the future, squeezing you to death easier than crushing an ant, would you?"
