Even if they meet again in the future, Shen Tang and the others may not be his match.
Fighting against Liu Ye for his body could even bring about more violent retaliation.
For her, this was too dangerous.
Jia Lan looked down at the female in his arms, his slender, cold, white fingers gently stroking her slightly furrowed brows, his voice soft and low, "I am just a secondary personality that emerged, and being able to keep my consciousness and stay by your side is already good enough."
"For me, the most unbearable thing is losing you."
In contrast, he felt lucky that at least he could "see" and "hear" many things through spiritual power. Except for not being able to eat, sleep, or feel, there was not much difference from normal people.
"Lan’er, he deceived you. There is only a difference in strength between personalities, not a hierarchy," Lunus’s voice suddenly came from the doorway.
Shen Tang and Jia Lan were both taken aback, looking towards the High Priest who walked in slowly.
Confusion flickered in Jia Lan’s eyes, "Father? Why do you say this? But I’m simply not a match for Liu Ye, I can’t even resist..."
"Father, am I too weak?"
If Jia Lan believed himself to be just a doomed secondary personality meant to be devoured, perhaps he would not feel discontent.
But upon learning he was not a secondary personality, yet still unable to reclaim his body, besides discontent, there was deeper shame; he felt utterly useless.
Lunus looked at him with pity, explaining gently, "You are suppressed by Liu Ye because he has gained the complete Curse Power, while you have yet to receive the inherited powers of past High Priests, making it naturally difficult to compete with him."
He gazed deeply at his son’s pained and frustrated expression, his tone carrying a touch of regret, "And your power cannot break through to a higher realm... because of me."
The power of the Sea Clan’s High Priest has always been passed down from generation to generation.
The old dies and the new is born, inheriting throughout time, unchanged for eternity.
But Jia Lan was the only special branch to grow from this main trunk.
So, he has always lived as an ordinary mermaid, never awakening the powers of the Priest Clan.
Jia Lan and Shen Tang evidently thought of this layer, shock appearing simultaneously on their faces.
Especially Jia Lan, who stared blankly at his father before him, his lips moving slightly, but ultimately unable to speak.
Lunus voiced what he couldn’t say,
"Only when I am gone will this power be passed on to you."
