"Otherwise, if I leave, their protagonist aura might take effect, and who knows what it'll turn into for me."
"If by chance their luck bursts out, and instead of meeting my requirements, they turn the tables on me, wouldn't I suffer a huge loss."
Gu Shanhai's concerns weren't unfounded. Just during his brief absence, Green Sorrow's madness had been cured; who could he complain to about that?
So if he dared to leave first, Green Sorrow and Lan Meng might fuse together and become Wuxiang, directly bankrupting Gu Shanhai's plan.
The concept of them becoming Wuxiang or a new protagonist named Wuxiang being born from them were two different ideas.
The former was a protagonist Gu Shanhai couldn't control, while the latter was a protagonist in Gu Shanhai's possession. The benefits between the two were different; they couldn't be the same.
"That wouldn't be right either. If I get stuck here because of them, wouldn't I be indirectly tethered?" Gu Shanhai thought of this matter.
