Time was tight.
But Lake said he could still keep the whole situation under control.
As for why he had to marry Liang Bing first?
Wasn't that obvious?
The great battle was about to begin. He couldn't just let this perfectly cooked opportunity fly away, could he? Lake had always believed that what was in his pocket was safest.
Besides...
If he married Liang Bing, it would give him an excellent opportunity to take control of Heaven and implement his rule in the future. If Heavenly Saintess Liang Bing, who was also the leader of the rebel organization Angel Queen, became his wife, it would prevent a great deal of unrest when the time came.
The male Bird People could be killed without a second thought. It was no big deal.
But the female angels?
These female angels of Heaven had been terrorized by the male Bird People of the present. Once the twelve legions were completely wiped out, if there were no female angel they were willing to trust, then no matter how many promises Lake made, some of the female angels still wouldn't believe him. They would cause him all sorts of trouble.
But things would be different with Liang Bing.

Of course.
He needed to say this
