A Priest from Moon Ruins Royal City was brought forward. He fell to his knees and pleaded, "Your Majesty, there is something you do not know. During the century you were asleep, the King Beasts from other sea regions grew covetous of the South Sea. Without the protection of a King Beast, it has become nothing more than a prize for the taking."
"I feared that you would never awaken and that the succession would be broken. That is why I took the liberty of using a wisp of your Divine Soul to create a Clone. But I never imagined that the Clone would escape partway through..."
"Your Majesty, what Priest Ke'er says is true. The Beast King of the North Sea, Ji Li Jun, has always had his covetous gaze fixed on the Endless South Sea. The High Priest had no choice but to resort to such a desperate measure." Uncle Su also spoke up to corroborate the story and plead for the High Priest.
