Todd asked to Huggins: "As you mean, the relationship between the ocean races is tense?"

"Nervous? Maybe there are some. After all, there is a conflict between food and territory, and it is difficult to get along with each other in harmony." Huggins thought, saying, "But, the ocean refugees can live in peace now, thanks to them for establishing a trade union."

"union?"

"A union called the Ocean Alliance, the leader is the mermaid named Rita. The main job of the union is to coordinate the conflicts between races, and to fish marine resources and trade with Muslim to obtain necessary living supplies."

Todd thought: "Rita, the patriarch of the Saramo Mermaid..."

Huggins nodded and said, "This is a woman who excels in both learning and leadership. There are many tyrannical and warlike people in the ocean race, but under her mediation, they all voluntarily maintain order."

Todd asked interestedly: "Is it all mermaids like this? Or...?"

"Captain Rita is an exception. Compared with her tribe, she is more able to accept new things and understand the thinking of judging the situation."

Huggins flipped the report: "This time we discovered something interesting - there are superpowers in the ocean races."

Todd frowned: "You mean alien?"

Huggins organized the language and tried his best to explain: "The word alien is not accurate in using marine races, and perhaps it would be more accurate to call it racial talent."

"Taking the Sword Shark clan as an example, they can harden and prolong part of their body bones into a weapon similar to bone spurs. This ability is reflected in every member of this race, but it varies from person to person, both strong and weak."

Huggins held a long list: "We made a comparison. Most talents are inherited from generation to generation in the family. Once family members reproduce with foreign races, their offspring will become weaker or even completely degenerate."

Todd picked up the list and looked carefully: "You mean, most of the members of an ocean tribe have more or less blood ties?"

Huggins replied: "That's right, for example, the total number of this sword shark clan with bone spur power is only 300. When traced from surnames and totems, most of them originated from the same ancestor."

Todd said: "It's quite an interesting discovery."

"This rule was also discovered by the monk Qiao, who was in charge of the population investigation. He spent a lot of time investigating this matter. It was precisely because of this that it took us a whole month to return to Muxi City."

Huggins continued: "So, the ocean tribe has a particularly strong xenophobia. They will not allow members of their clan to intermarry with other races, because this will tarnish the purity of "bloodline" and will also be deprived of racial abilities."

At this time, Todd remembered the story Rita told him.

A mermaid falls in love with a human, and is eventually killed by an angry fellow tribe, and thrown into the abyss under the sea.

Perhaps, the mermaids know that if members of the clan intermarry with other clans, the inherent racial ability will gradually disappear, so they use such a cruel way to punish those who are separated.

Todd asked Hudgins again: "What are the inherent abilities of the marine race?"

"Some of us have learned through inquiries, but some are the secrets of races, and we have not yet investigated them." Huggins said: "I will ask the people below to seize the time to check the superpowers of the marine race. If there are any hidden dangers that pose risks to the kingdom, I will promptly eliminate and report them."

Todd added: "The premise is not to conflict with those marine races."

After hearing this, Huggins' expression hesitated: "Your Majesty, I have a problem."

"What?"

"When I was doing the demographics of the ocean race, I often heard them mention a god, the ancient ocean god Kraqusch. They said, you know him."

Todd admitted: "That's right."

Huggins whispered: "They repeatedly stressed that they would not become Protestant believers, would not attend Kingdom services, and would not give up their faith in the ancient gods of the ocean..."

Todd nodded: "It's OK."

Huggins stuttered a little: "You, you mean, agree that these pagans have faith? Is this some...? What if the ancient ocean god summoned his believers to attack Musi?"

"An attack on Mugxi City?"

"Yes, think about it, although these marine tribes are refugees, they are loyal believers of the ancient ocean god. One day, these tribes have recovered their vitality. For the sake of territory, resources and believers, the ancient ocean god will probably give them a command to attack us "pagans"!"

Todd looked a little helpless: "Hargens, what is your suggestion?"

"Expel those loyal believers of the ancient ocean gods and contact those marine refugees that can be fought for. While developing the Navy of the Dragon Kingdom, actively expanding the sea area. This will not only increase your believers, but also expand your territory..."

Todd sighed and said, "Hargens, answer me a question."

"question?"

"In your opinion, how is the difference between a god and a king?"

Huggins was stunned.

"One is a mortal, the other is... an immortal existence, right?"

Todd asked, “The length of life is the dividing line between you judging God and man?”

Sweat flowed down Huggins' forehead: "Your Majesty...I mean, the Supreme Dragon God, I am just a mortal, I really don't know..."

Todd said softly: "If the purpose of the god is to occupy more territory, gain stronger power, and develop more believers, then after all, he is just an existence with the name of a god and is essentially no different from those short-sighted kings. Such gods will soon turn into dust of history, like those monarchs, without any value of existence..."

Todd's voice grew lower and lower, and finally he closed his eyes and frowned, his whole body was like a sculpture, completely still there.

Seeing this, Huggins knew that Todd had entered a "contemplative" state again, so he quickly took a few steps back and stopped talking.

"Occupy more territory, gain stronger strength, and gain more believers..."

"Jingsu once said that these three conditions are the ways to win the Battle of God's Chosen."

"But, does this showdown make sense?"

"Can the gods who win through this condition really achieve the purpose of "species selection" in Jingsu's mouth?"

Todd stood there and began to murmur to himself: "Is the real purpose of Jingsu's battle for Gods Selection really to choose a god? What is the meaning of the gods selected in this way to Jingsu? Or does Jingsu have other ulterior motives?"
