Hearing this reply, the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar couldn't help but widen its eyes...
"Are you kidding? Cooperation failure with the Pope Hall is one thing, but trying to cooperate with the Worship Hall people? How could the High Priest possibly agree!"
Are these guys crazy?
Except for the two newly joined Sacred Pillars, the other Sacred Pillars should be well aware of the High Priest and the Grand Elder's extremely poor relationship!
The Sacred Pillars seemed to catch the meaning of the former, and they all spoke, "Sea Dragon, we understand your concern, but if we don't cooperate with the Martial Soul Hall, relying solely on us, I'm afraid we can't protect Sea God's Island!"
"Yes, even with the High Priest in place, when the number of abyssal creatures reaches a certain extent, we can't rely on her alone, right?"
"Sea Dragon, we all know the High Priest and the Grand Elder's relationship is really bad, but... in order to protect Sea God's Island from the assault of abyssal creatures, we can't do it alone."
However, the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar was not easily convinced by them and spoke firmly, "No, I disagree with this."
To put forth such a proposal, isn't it making things difficult for the High Priest?
He couldn't do it!
The other Sacred Pillars frowned, seemingly not expecting the former's attitude to be so resolute...
At ease, they directly gave up...
"Sea Dragon, since you're unwilling, we won't force you either."
"Hmm, we'll discuss this with the High Priest instead!"
"Although it might incite the High Priest's anger, it's all for Sea God's Island!"
For Sea God's Island, they decided to give it a try!
After saying this, everyone turned and headed towards Poseissi's palace...
Watching them leave, the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar sighed helplessly, "Hey, can we truly not protect Sea God's Island without cooperation from the outside world?"
Saying this, his mind recalled the scene of the two powerful abyssal creatures attacking Sea God's Island and the fallen two Sacred Pillars...
His heart couldn't help but waver...
....
Not long after, the Sacred Pillars arrived at the Ice Crystal Palace!
However, they did not see High Priest Poseissi, only the servant responsible for attending to her!
The latter saw their arrival and respectfully said, "Sirs, are you here to see the High Priest?"
The Sea Star Sacred Pillar nodded and asked, "Hmm, is the High Priest not here?"
The servant shook his head, "No, the High Priest is still resting. If necessary, I can go and report."
Upon hearing this, the Sacred Pillars couldn't help but pause...
With the High Priest's abilities, she must have already sensed their presence!
However, there was no response...
But soon, the Sea Girl Sacred Pillar reacted, "No need, since the High Priest is still resting, we can wait here."
The maid did not say much, just bowed slightly, "Yes!"
...
Thus, in this overly quiet atmosphere, they waited for several hours...
Finally, Poseissi's voice echoed inside the palace....
However, it seemed to be a sigh.....
The numerous Sacred Pillars immediately became alert...
The Sea Girl Sacred Pillar took the lead and said, "High Priest, we did not mean to disturb your rest, but we want to consult you on a matter."
The other Sacred Pillars also nodded one after another...
"Alright"
Simple words slipped out, and Poseissi's figure appeared unexpectedly in front of everyone.....
And she gazed at the Sacred Pillars with her clear, water-blue eyes...
"Just say what you have in mind."
Only then did the Sea Girl Sacred Pillar begin, "High Priest, since the last cooperation failure with Pope Bibi Dong, we privately discussed and believe there's another way to cooperate with Martial Soul Hall!"
However, before addressing the specific method, Poseissi had already guessed it...
"The method you're talking about is to cooperate with the Worship Hall, right?"
She understood the Sacred Pillars' intentions!
As long as they cooperate with the Worship Hall, leveraging the Great Offeror Qian Dao Liu, they could pressure Pope Bibi Dong into cooperation!
The Sea Girl Sacred Pillar showed a surprised expression, but quickly returned, "Nothing can be hidden from you, High Priest. We indeed think so!"
Poseissi pursed her lips, "If you've come just for this, then you'd better go back."
"The Worship Hall is not going to cooperate with Sea God's Island!"
Her and Qian Dao Liu, it's not just a simple bad relationship!
The Sea Girl Sacred Pillar seemed puzzled and asked passionately, "High Priest, why? Maybe the Worship Hall also..."
But the Sea Star Sacred Pillar beside her pulled her back, then shook his head...
Since the High Priest spoke in this manner, there surely is a reason!
It's better if we don't push too far!
The Sea Girl Sacred Pillar bit her lip, "I understand, High Priest, then we won't disturb your rest anymore!"
As predicted by Sea Dragon, the High Priest almost unhesitatingly refused...
After saying this, the Sacred Pillars signaled among themselves and turned to leave....
Poseissi glanced at the maid, "Do you think what I did is right or wrong?"
The latter did not show any expression, only replied respectfully, "I don't know, but I believe in your judgment, High Priest. You said the Worship Hall and Sea God's Island can't cooperate, then it must be impossible!"
The High Priest's words have never failed...
...
After leaving, the Sea Girl Sacred Pillar's mood was clearly low...
"Why does the High Priest disagree? Isn't she the Guardian God of our Sea God's Island? Should she watch Sea God's Island be destroyed by abyssal creatures?"
The Sea Star Sacred Pillar heard this and reminded, "Hai Nv, mind your words, no disrespect to the High Priest."
The Sea Girl Sacred Pillar showed some regret, "I didn't mean disrespect to the High Priest, but I'm just a bit puzzled."
"If you don't get it, don't think about it. The High Priest surely has her reasons for doing this."
"Hmm, maybe we're too naive to think that in such dire times, the Martial Soul Hall would cooperate with Sea God's Island!"
"No matter what, since the High Priest rejected this proposal, let's not mention it again."
At this time, the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar came over, and seeing their expressions, guessed it roughly...
"Seeing your looks, it must have failed."
The Sea Girl Sacred Pillar sighed, "Sea Dragon, you're right. This proposal was rejected by the High Priest without even being spoken."
The Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar showed a knowing expression...
Afterward, the former spoke again, "Though, I'm somewhat puzzled why the High Priest rejected it so decisively, without even consideration!"
The Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar gave her a complex look, "Puzzled?"
"Come with me, there are things you may not know, and knowing them, you may understand!"
It seems necessary to talk to her about what once happened on Sea God's Island...
Of course, he won't mention matters involving the High Priest's privacy!
