The Great Limit, the Soul Ring Lifeform Plan, the sacrificial ritual, preserving the soul.
Each piece of news was like a bomb, detonating in the brains of the three Beast Kings.
Having endured a series of devastating blows from the Flame Dragon King, they fell into a brief silence.
Within the silence, the gazes of the three Beast Kings turned towards Quan Yi once more. This time, their eyes held not only apprehension but also other, more complex emotions.
Old Tortoise was the first to face Quan Yi, offering an apology, "Please forgive us. We were unaware of the situation and offended you earlier."
Albatross and Sea Lion also nodded in apology.
Circumstances were stronger than people; Quan Yi had already become the leader of the Marine Iguana Lizard, and the entire lizard group was under his command.
Adding to the aura and strength he displayed, regardless of their thoughts, Quan Yi had already succeeded the Marine Iguana Flame Dragon King as the new leader of the archipelago.
Seeing that the other party had softened, Quan Yi finally revealed a smile mixed with goodwill.
"Ignorance is bliss. Everyone was unaware of my situation before, so misunderstandings were to be expected.
The four clans of the archipelago have accumulated a deep friendship over the long years, and I don't want to damage that.
Therefore, I would like to continue to maintain friendly exchanges and communication with everyone."
If the initial behavior was to establish his authority, then this was to show his goodwill.
While ensuring the leading position of the Marine Iguana Lizard clan, continuing to maintain friendly relations with the other three clans was one of Quan Yi's purposes for holding the Sky Pool Gathering.
Seeing Quan Yi's smile, the three Beast Kings felt as if they were bathed in a spring breeze, and their tense hearts couldn't help but relax.
It was only because Quan Yi's power had been too overwhelming before that the sudden reversal caught them off guard.
"If that's the case, then on behalf of the Golden Jade Furnace Flame Tortoise clan, I agree with you to continue maintaining the friendship of the four clans."
Old Tortoise took the lead in expressing his intention, agreeing with Quan Yi's idea.
Seeing that Old Tortoise had taken the lead, the other clans also expressed their approval of Quan Yi on behalf of their respective clans.
Old Tortoise seemed slow, but on some critical issues, he could often be one step ahead.
Regardless of strength or wisdom, he was undoubtedly the leader of the three Beast Kings.
"Good, good. Although our Volcano Archipelago is strong, compared to the Sea Soul Beasts outside, we are still at a disadvantage.
In response to this situation, only by maintaining internal unity can we guarantee long-term development.
I assure you that if you unfortunately encounter an unsolvable disaster, you can ask the Marine Iguana Lizard clan for help. As the Lord of the Volcano, I can lend a helping hand."
Quan Yi's remarks were undoubtedly another explosive statement.
The relationship between the four Volcano clans could only be described as a very loose neighborly relationship.
Holding gatherings with each other was only to maintain the consensus of non-aggression, non-interference, and external unity.
But Quan Yi's statement was clearly intended to move towards a closer relationship.
For a time, the three Beast Kings' minds were in turmoil, still trying to digest Quan Yi's meaning.
"Everyone doesn't need to worry too much. The assistance I'm talking about is actually nothing much. It's just taking care of things within the scope of my and the Marine Iguana Lizard clan's ability.
There would be no impact on weekdays. It was just that when other clans encountered a life-and-death crisis, they could ask Quan Yi for help, and he might lend a hand.
This promise, which seemed like an empty check, actually had no credit guarantee.
However, this promise was an indirect connection with Quan Yi, making the connection between Quan Yi and the various clans closer.
With Quan Yi standing behind them, the Soul Beasts of the Volcano Archipelago undoubtedly had great confidence.

Just as the existence of the Marine Iguana Flame Dragon King deterred countless external forces.
A promise that had no obvious benefits but also no harm made the three Beast Kings a little tempted.
"Thank you for your kindness, but the three of us each have our own means, and we can handle the safety of our clans ourselves.
We probably won't need to trouble you to help."
The three Beast Kings still had some reservations about Quan Yi in their hearts, so they couldn't fully accept it.
Quan Yi wasn't surprised by this. He nodded calmly and said, "That's fine. Self-reliance is the way to long-term development. However, my promise will not change because of this.
Alright, that's all the information I wanted to convey. If you don't have anything else, then this Sky Pool Gathering will end here.
Oh right, as the host, I have also prepared a banquet, and I hope you can stay and enjoy it together."
The message that Quan Yi wanted to convey to the other three clans through the gathering had already been completely conveyed.
To show his sincerity, Quan Yi held a unique banquet at the foot of the volcano.
In an open space large enough to accommodate nearly five hundred giant Soul Beasts, all the Soul Beasts sat in a circle, leaving a slightly open circle in the very center.
Surrounded by a group of giant beasts, Quan Yi took out countless fresh seafood and Sea Soul Beasts from his Blazing Sun Heart to share with all the members.
To satisfy the terrifying appetite of so many Soul Beasts, Quan Yi also spent some effort.
Banquets are a human custom; there is no such custom between Soul Beasts and different clans.
Therefore, everyone felt extremely unfamiliar with it.
Looking at the huge amount of seafood pouring out of the small necklace, all the Soul Beasts showed astonished expressions.
"When exactly was so much food prepared?"
The playful Sea Lion smelled the salty and fishy smell that stimulated the taste buds and said in a daze.
Seeing the Sea Lion's round little head showing an astonished expression, Fire Dance couldn't help but chuckle.
She said with a smile, "Are you dumbfounded? This is the food that Xiao Yi specially caught after flying to the sea hundreds of miles away to entertain you."
As soon as Fire Dance said this, the three Beast Kings were even more shocked.
They carefully examined the mountains of food piled up in front of them and found that the food placed in front of their respective clans was what they each preferred, and among them, there were many ten-thousand-year-level Sea Soul Beasts with powerful cultivation.
What was even more terrifying was that these Soul Beasts were extremely well-preserved, with almost no scars. It was obvious that the Marine Iguana Lizard clan had not captured them.
In this way, there was only one answer, and that was that Quan Yi had caught all this food.
After Quan Yi distributed the food, he looked around the beast group, then smiled faintly and said, "What are you still stunned for? This is all prepared for you."
With that, Quan Yi snapped his fingers, and a small spark popped out from his fingertip and fell into the wooden pile in the center, quickly burning into a raging fire.
Under the illumination of the fire, a vermilion dragon horn stretched out from Quan Yi's forehead. Accompanied by the mental fluctuations emitted by the dragon horn sweeping across the banquet, he enthusiastically shouted, "I declare that the banquet officially begins, and everyone can enjoy themselves to the fullest!"
Even if they didn't understand human language, they could understand Quan Yi's meaning through the mental fluctuations diffused by the Crimson Dragon Horn.
The first to burst out with cries were the Marine Iguana Lizard clan. After expressing their gratitude to Quan Yi, they began to enjoy the delicious food.
The members of the other three clans looked at their kings one after another.
Under the gazes of many expectations, the three kings said helplessly, "Then we will respectfully accept your offer.
Little ones, let's eat together!"
With the approval of the three kings, the hungry beasts burst out with cheerful roars, and then began to join the ranks of eating.
