"Jealousy, because not long after, the Sea God gifted them with quite a few Divine Islands – this included the ones the Sea God had gifted in the past."
"But… isn't this now the territory of the Aquatic People?"
"If it had stayed that way, the later events wouldn't have happened, but it seems that after that victory, General Li Tianhai felt he had found something to rely on."
