Nathan fell silent for a few seconds before speaking slowly, "Very well! Since there are many people on Earth who wish to meet and speak with me in person, I will return to engage in conversation with them."
Upon hearing this, Hepburn and the others became anxious.
Hepburn hurriedly advised, "Your Majesty, ever since we conquered the Divine Realm and you were elected as their king, many people on Earth have been envious, hoping to benefit from it. Even Wolfric and the others believed that your self-proclamation as the king of the Divine Realm went against the rules. They were unwilling to acknowledge your status as the king. If you were to return to Earth and negotiations failed, it would be like sending a lamb into a tiger's den."
Nathan spoke with displeasure, "Earth is my homeland, Eurasia is my home, and my family is still there. How has it suddenly become a dangerous place?"
Before Hepburn could respond, Nathan interjected, "Furthermore, I am not a lamb!"
Upon hearing this, Hepburn and the others fell silent.
Nathan made it clear that his family was still on Earth. What if those individuals from Wolfric's side harmed his family if he didn't return?
Moreover, he was not weak like a lamb. Even if he returned to Earth, it was uncertain whether Wolfric and the others would have the ability to harm him.
He had previously mentioned that he had set off with the Earth's fleet, and now that he had conquered the Divine Realm, there were differing opinions from Earth regarding his establishment in the Divine Realm. It was only right for him to return and clarify matters.
Nathan gazed at the screen, where Colin was displayed, and calmly said, "Inform the nations of Earth. Let them know that in a month's time, I will return to Earth to meet with them. When the time comes, they are free to voice any opinions they have. Let us all strive to set aside our prejudices and aim for mutual success through cooperation."
Colin responded, "Certainly, I will convey Mr. Cross' words to the leaders of various countries on Earth."
With that, the call ended.
Nathan turned to Hepburn and Eve, instructing them, "Prepare for my return. Arrange a spaceship for me. I am making a trip back to Earth. Remember, keep it low-key. Divine Realm has just stabilized, and if others were to find out that I had left, I fear some might take advantage and cause trouble."
Hepburn asked, "How many guards do we need, and how many troops should accompany us?"
