The Tool, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King; the Sea God's True Face Exposed

To ensure that the creatures of the ocean would willingly provide me with the power of faith generation after generation, I showed mercy to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, who endangered the seas.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was one of the overlords of the ocean. He was bloodthirsty and tyrannical, devouring countless Sea Soul Beasts and humans.

I fought him, and though I had enough strength to erase this threat, I did not do so.

Only by leaving the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King alive to continue threatening the ocean would all living beings of the sea forever need me, and only then would my power of faith continue forever.

Only where there was darkness would there be light. If the ocean was peaceful, my existence would no longer be needed.

I created Sea God Island and left behind my inheritance to guard the ocean.

After I ascended to the God Realm, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, as expected, could not change his nature and continued to endanger the ocean.

Fortunately, the Sea God Island I left behind stood against the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and protected the creatures of the ocean, and all the world sang praises of my greatness.

For ten thousand years, my power of faith had flowed in an endless stream.

"Damned Poseidon. I knew he didn't spare me back then out of kindness."

"So he let me live in order to use me."

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King let out an angry low growl.

The feeling of being used made him extremely unhappy.

However, he was now only one step away from becoming a god.

Once he devoured enough living beings, he would transform into a dragon and ascend to godhood.

At that time, he would settle both old and new grudges together.

"How could this be..."

"Was Lord Sea God's so-called protection of the ocean's peace only for the sake of the power of faith?"

The Seven Sacred Pillars felt as if the sky had collapsed.

They had always respected Poseidon from the bottom of their hearts and had devoted everything to protecting the ocean.

But they had never expected that Poseidon's ideals were not pure at all.

Over the years, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had often harassed Sea God Island and had devoured a large number of ocean creatures.

Even Bo Saixi could do nothing to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!

Poseidon, the Sea God who originally had the ability to stop all this, had chosen to let it happen.

And Poseidon had deliberately left the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King alive to endanger the ocean.

Bo Saixi's heart ached faintly!

To a loyal believer, this feeling of one's faith collapsing was fatal.

The duty Sea God Island took pride in was nothing more than a tool for Poseidon to squeeze out the power of faith.

In Poseidon's eyes, people like them might be no different from the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

"As expected of a God!"

"To scheme like this—truly impressive!"

Ning Fengzhi felt only admiration for what Poseidon had done.

He was also this kind of smiling tiger.

On the surface, he put righteousness first, but in truth, what mattered most was still his own interests.

If Poseidon had pacified all turmoil in the ocean and eliminated every threat before ascending, then as time passed, everyone would slowly forget him.

If he was not needed, he would not gain sincere believers.

Faith was extremely important to Gods.

Poseidon would definitely not allow such a thing to happen.

If not for the Heavenly Curtain exposing it, Poseidon would still be a sacred and great existence in the hearts of all ocean creatures today.

This was the most crucial point.

He schemed you into his plans, yet you were still deeply grateful to him.

"Sure enough, age and experience always win!"

Ning Fengzhi felt ashamed of his inferiority.

If it were him, he probably would not have been able to use methods like Poseidon's.

Ning Fengzhi had learned something again.

Angel God Temple...

Qian Yuhan shook her head, her face full of disappointment.

"Poseidon, in the end, you and I are not the same kind of person!"

Qian Yuhan had parted ways with Poseidon precisely because of his hypocrisy.

The Angel God's ideals were forever light and justice.

On this point, Qian Yuhan allowed no impurities whatsoever.

She would never deliberately leave Evil behind for the sake of the power of faith and endanger the world.

For ten thousand years, Spirit Hall had always adhered to the ideals she left behind.

They struck down Evil Soul Masters and devoted themselves to building a better continent.

Even if Spirit Hall wanted to unify the continent, it was also to push the entire continent toward a better future.

To create a world where everyone was equal!

"Damn it!"

"Undermining me in public—they're trying to destroy my faith!"

Poseidon clenched his fists, his face full of anger.

His selfish motives had been exposed, his true face laid bare, and his perfect image no longer existed.

If he could have destroyed the Heavenly Curtain, he would definitely have torn it down.

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace!

"Qinghe, in the future, you must learn more from this kind of ruler's methods!"

"When you succeed to the throne and take charge of the empire, you can also choose to imitate them."

Xue Ye reminded her seriously.

As an emperor, he did not care about peace or the lack of it.

All he cared about was the royal family's interests!

Poseidon's move could be said to be taking the benefits while still pretending to be righteous.

A good reputation went into his pocket, and the power of faith went into his pocket as well.

If the Heavenly Curtain had not exposed him, Poseidon's great image would have been passed down forever across the entire ocean.

Qian Renxue nodded without revealing a thing.

"I understand, Father Emperor!"

Although Qian Renxue outwardly went along with it, deep down, she held this sort of behavior in utter contempt.

As the successor of the Angel God, she disdained using such underhanded methods.

She would use the sword in her hand to eradicate all Evil.

After ten thousand years had passed, I grew bored with life in the God Realm, and my cultivation had also reached a bottleneck.

I decided to look for a successor to take over my position, then roam the universe in search of opportunities to become stronger.

At last, I discovered a young man named Tang San. He had obtained the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud's recognition, and only by enduring my Vast Sea power could he inherit the Sea God's position.

I began carefully nurturing Tang San, helping him turn danger into safety and survive near-death situations many times.

Although this broke the rules, I would never allow anything to go wrong with the successor I had chosen.

Later, I guided Tang San to go and kill the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was about to transform into a dragon and become a god, and the God Realm had given clear instructions that Soul Beasts were not allowed to become gods, so the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had to die.

If Tang San could personally kill the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, he would be able to firmly establish himself in the ocean, and inheriting the Sea God's position would naturally follow.

With my help, as well as that fellow Asura's interference, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was successfully slain.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's death made all ocean life acknowledge Tang San.

However, the Angel God's successor became a god faster than Tang San.

In order to suppress Qian Renxue, I tampered a little with her God Trial, and Qian Yuhan did not notice.

I hoped that my successor could destroy Spirit Hall, defeat the second-generation Angel God, and become Douluo's only god.

Only then would my efforts in cultivating him not have been in vain!

Later, Tang San successfully passed the Nine Trials of the Sea God, and when facing the Angel God Qian Renxue, he lived up to my expectations and defeated her.

Unfortunately, Spirit Hall had two gods.

Bibi Dong's intervention put Tang San in danger, but fortunately, that fellow Asura was reliable and let Tang San shoulder Dual Godhood.

In the end, the Rakshasa God Bibi Dong died in battle to protect her daughter, and the Angel God Qian Renxue's Godhead was crippled.

Tang San became Douluo's only god and enjoyed all the power of faith alone, so I went off to retire perfectly satisfied.
