King of the Sea

"Sacrifice?"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King suddenly realized. "You've been rambling on and on with me just to get me to sacrifice myself to you?"

Shui Bing'er did not deny it, nodding in agreement. "Yes. And it's not an ordinary sacrifice. You have to sacrifice your life."

The sacrifice of Soul Beast's life. Just like Xiao Wu sacrificed herself for Tang San in the original storyline. If this happens, the Soul Beast's Soul Skill and Soul Bone will be perfectly suited to Shui Bing'er.

This is also the main reason why Shui Bing'er went to such lengths to "deceive" the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

"Feng, did you instigate her as well?" asked Bo Saixi, the Sea God High Priest.

"Yes."

Ye Feng nodded and explained, "The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is Soul Beast with a lifespan of nearly a million years. With Bing'er's current physique, I'm worried that her weak body might not be able to withstand absorbing the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's Soul Ring and Soul Bone. If the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is willing to sacrifice itself, then I won't have to worry about Bing'er's safety."

Bo Saixi, the Sea God High Priest, nodded in agreement with Ye Feng's point of view.

Bo Saixi, however, doubted whether the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King would agree. After all, it would require sacrificing one's life.

Bo Saixi had lived for a very long time, and she knew that for most creatures, the longer they lived, the more they feared death. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had lived for over 300,000 years, and based on Bo Saixi's understanding of it, it was highly likely that it would not be willing to sacrifice itself to Shui Bing'er.

Are you kidding me?

As expected, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King spoke sarcastically to Shui Bing'er.

"I'm discussing this with you very seriously," Shui Bing'er Bing'er replied calmly.

"Discuss? You're asking me to sacrifice myself to you, to give up my life!" the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King mocked.

"Am I just spouting nonsense? You are Soul Beast, and your ultimate fate will be death. You will never be able to transform into a dragon and become Divine Beast. The only way for you to ascend to the Divine Realm is to sacrifice yourself to me. After I ascend to the Divine Realm, I will use my divine power to revive you," Shui Bing'er solemnly promised.

In the original storyline, Da Ming and Er Ming were resurrected using this method. Although Ye Feng had never been to the Divine Realm, he knew that divine power could still be used to resurrect the dead. However, these souls would become like Divine Soul Spirit, wandering ghosts in the Divine Realm, and would be somewhat different from their original forms.

To fully resurrect these souls, only someone with the Power of Creation, namely Ye Feng, has such a method.

"Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, think it over. Will you continue to linger at the peak of the ocean, heading straight for death? Or will you sacrifice yourself to me, be resurrected in the Divine Realm, and gain a long lifespan equal to that of the heavens? Think it over carefully." Shui Bing'er continued to tempt the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King fell silent.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King thought that what Shui Bing'er said, especially the Dragon God War in the Divine Realm, was very likely true.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had lived for over 300,000 years. It vaguely remembered its ancestors saying that Soul Beast could ascend to the Divine Realm after cultivating for 100,000 years and overcoming tribulations.

However, the reality is that it has already survived nine tribulations, but still hasn't ascended to the Divine Realm. Initially, one-tenth of its body parts were not yet fully transformed into Dragon Transformation, then one-twentieth, one-thirtieth, one-fortieth... In short, it always seemed to be just a tiny bit short of completing its Dragon Transformation.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King believed Shui Bing'er's words.

"You're making me gamble. I'm gambling with my life," the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King said with a wry smile.

"Yes, that's true. But do you have any other choice?" Shui Bing'er smiled, looking at her future husband Ye Feng, and said, "With his strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to seriously injure you, would it? I'm not afraid to tell you, my Eighth Trial is related to you. If you don't agree, I can have him beat you half to death, and then I can finish the job. That way, I can still complete the Eighth Trial, don't you think?"

As Shui Bing'er spoke, she stared at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King with a look that seemed to say, "You've got me cornered."

"You're toxic!" the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King cursed.

"Alright."

Shui Bing'er paused, then reminded her, "My patience has its limits. Give me a straight answer: are you willing to sacrifice yourself for me or not?"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King hesitated for a moment. It desperately wanted to resist; it didn't want to die. However, it glanced at Ye Feng. From the aura emanating from the latter, it could tell that he had become a god, and that his aura was even more terrifying than that of the Sea God before.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King knew he had no choice. To sacrifice himself today meant death, and not to sacrifice himself also meant death. Helplessly, he said, "But you must swear an oath."

"You don't have that choice."

Shui Bing'er did not accept the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's request. After a pause, she said, "Alright, since you are my mount, I will kindly make a vow. I swear that after I ascend to the Divine Realm, I will use my Sea God Origin Power to revive you."

For ordinary gods, resurrecting a soul requires not ordinary divine power, but their primordial divine power. It is for this reason that many gods are unwilling to resurrect other beings.

Primal divine power is even more precious than divine power; it's equivalent to a person's life force. Every little movement diminishes it. Unlike human life force, it can be restored, albeit very slowly.

"Mount?"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King asked in surprise, "After you resurrected me, you want me to become your mount?"

"Of course. Otherwise, why would I go through all this trouble to revive you? I'd be crazy."

Shui Bing'er rolled her eyes at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and continued, "Besides, I am the Sea God, First Level God. My status in the Divine Realm is second only to the Supreme God. Becoming your master with my status wouldn't diminish your identity as the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, would it?"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King hesitated for a moment, realizing that Shui Bing'er's words made a lot of sense.

Buzz

Suddenly, waves surged on the surrounding sea. The sea began to turn golden-red. The gold came from the Source Energy of the Deep Sea Deep Sea Demonic Whale King Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and the red came from its life force.

Golden-red energy surged from the body of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, freezing the surrounding space. The waves stopped undulating, and everything seemed to stand still.

"Sacrifice!"

Bo Saixi was shocked. The mighty King of the Sea had actually sacrificed himself for the next Sea God Shui Bing'er. However, the one who created all of this was the young man standing beside her— Ye Feng.

"Xi Xi, isn't your man amazing?" Ye Feng chuckled, reaching out to put his arm around Bo Saixi's slender waist. He began taking advantage of Bo Saixi.

"You..."

Bo Saixi wanted to move. She wanted to break free from Ye Feng's clutches. Unfortunately, time and space were frozen due to the sacrifice of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. Aside from Ye Feng, who had become a god, no one could move a single finger.
