After Lear reached an agreement with the Lake God, the tense atmosphere between the two parties immediately relaxed.
The Lake God also felt a sense of relief.
His strength was not powerful, and leaving the lake would greatly reduce it. He had not expected so many things to happen after occupying this temple in the Original Plane.
If he gave it up, it would be a wasted opportunity for others to grasp his authority.
If he didn't give it up, he had no extra strength to expand his territory.
The current situation was—he could only hold on here to see if a better opportunity would arise.
But to expand outward, he dared not, as the external battles were too chaotic... it would easily make him someone else's prey.
Currently, the temple, in his view, was like an insipid chicken rib, undesirable but difficult to discard if it would influence his authority.
If not for the impact on his authority, he would have already left. Why endure such hardship here?
