Otherwise, vitality would be lost in an instant, and one would perish on the spot.

But there was no other way, in order to survive, he had to choose to follow the Wood God and receive the Wood God's protection.

Otherwise, given the Water God's unforgiving and almost extreme style of conduct, even if he could survive today's great battle against the Wood God, the day the Water God fully recovered, he would also die at the hands of the Water God.

The key point was that dying at the hands of the Water God would still be a relatively good outcome.

The fear was that the Water God wouldn't grant a swift death and would instead torture traitors.

The Sea God had witnessed several instances of the Water God torturing enemies when he was under the Water God's command.

It was a torture both physical and spiritual.

One that could make life worse than death.

Seeing it from a distance was already unbearable for the Sea God, who didn't have the courage to experience it firsthand.
