What kind of trial was this? It was practically a promotion.
Though the vast deep sea had several commander titles,
the Dead Sea Commander was the greatest and most dangerous among them.
Moreover, Han Dong had not taken this position because of Cthulhu's favor... it could only be considered a "forced measure."
The specific reason had already been explained during the trial.
The Dead Sea was the birthplace of the Deep-Ones. Over endless eras, it had developed a "self-awareness" and would choose for itself who was to take charge of this special sea.

The infusion of the Dead Sea Will, along with Han Dong's perfect acceptance of it, meant that he was the sole successor.
Considering Han Dong's connections with multiple Old Kings and even his deep ties to the Black Tower beyond the worlds... they used the trial as a pretext to forcibly establish a connection between Han Dong and the Dead Sea.
This connection would remain until the next successor appeared.
Han Dong had long guessed the trial's true meaning. That was why he had been so idle along the way, taking the opportunity to poach people.
