Getting rejected by Melissa was actually within Guding's expectations.
One reason was that Melissa's strength was not inferior to his or Berg's, and many major forces within the Human Clan had attempted to recruit her, only to be rejected.
The other reason was that Melissa was somewhat enigmatic to Guding. Her identity had always been a mystery, even the Sea Emperor, who would usually share everything with Guding, kept this a secret, indicating that Melissa was no ordinary person.
Therefore, Guding didn't think being rejected was a big deal.
After acquiring the memories of Hainoas, the suppression of the entire ruins on Guding was completely lifted. His Power of Soul swept out, quickly scanning the entire ruins and observing the current situation of the major powers, which hadn't suffered much more loss than before.
Reid also led the other human members past the blockade of undead creatures, and Elizabeth and the others survived.
Seeing this result, Guding felt gratified.
