Qian Yuhan Founded Spirit Hall, Poseidon Betrayed Wei Yuan, and the Sea God's Trident Stole the Power of Faith

For an entire day and night, the Secret Chamber was silent.

When the first ray of morning sunlight filtered through the cracks in the Secret Chamber and fell upon the mottled Runes, the formation slowly began to dissipate.

Tear tracks stained Qian Yuhan's pale face, yet her eyes glimmered with an almost morbid satisfaction and fragile hope.

She took the initiative to release Wei Yuan from his restraints, and the force suppressing his Soul Power vanished instantly.

"Wei Yuan..."

Qian Yuhan's jade-like body lay sprawled as she embraced Wei Yuan from behind, her voice hoarse and carrying a trace of pleading.

"Don't go... okay?"

Wei Yuan's rigid body gradually relaxed.

Wei Yuan did not push Qian Yuhan away. Instead, he gently returned her embrace, holding her trembling body. His eyes were filled with helplessness, tenderness, and a hint of guilt.

The formation's suppressive force still remained, but the Purple Blazing Sky-Destroying Dragon Martial Soul within him released a low Dragon Roar as its powerful strength began battering against the formation's restraints.

Though Qian Yuhan's formation was powerful, it ultimately could not truly imprison a man determined to contend with the gods.

"Yuhan, don't be like this."

Wei Yuan's voice was low and gentle as he softly wiped the tears from her face.

"Wait for me to return."

Qian Yuhan lifted her tearful eyes, her gaze filled with confusion and reluctance.

"Return?

Where are you going?

That sea... is too dangerous!"

Wei Yuan looked into the distance, as though his gaze had pierced through the Secret Chamber's walls and seen the boundless sea of stars.

"Douluo Star is vast. Besides Douluo Continent beneath our feet and Sun Moon Continent, my homeland, there are two other unknown and expansive continents.

"Your talent is peerless. In the future, you will surely unite the faith of Douluo Continent, Create Own Godhood, and become one of the strongest among the First-tier Deities."

Wei Yuan paused, a flash of unwillingness and bold ambition passing through his eyes.

"I have already united the entire Sun Moon Continent and possess the Power of Faith of one continent, but that is not enough.

"The sea covers far more area than the land, and the Power of Faith it contains is even more inexhaustible.

"Poseidon occupies the oceans of the western hemisphere, so I will go to the Eastern Hemisphere Ocean!

"I believe the sea is vast enough to accommodate two future Deities.

"Once I gather enough faith, I will return and ascend to the God Realm with you. We will become eternal lovers."

Those words were both an explanation and a promise.

Qian Yuhan's heart was filled with immense happiness and worry.

She understood Wei Yuan's ambitions and felt the plans he had made for their future.

Before the promise of being "eternal lovers," her obsessive desire to possess him seemed to have finally found a harbor.

"I... I'll wait for you."

Qian Yuhan finally released him. Though reluctance remained in her eyes, there was even more of a newfound determination.

Wei Yuan looked deeply at her, engraving her appearance into his heart.

Then he turned around and resolutely broke free from the formation's final restraints.

He transformed into a streak of purple light and vanished beyond the horizon.

Only Qian Yuhan remained in the Secret Chamber.

She did not cry again. Instead, she slowly rose to her feet, an unprecedentedly resolute light shining in her eyes.

"Wei Yuan, you're right.

"I can't just wait for you here. I have to keep up with your footsteps!"

A new line of small golden words appeared beneath the Sky Screen:

[One promise soothed the wound of obsession and ignited brand-new ambition.]

[To follow in his footsteps, to become his eternal lover who could stand by his side.

Qian Yuhan resolved to unite the entire Douluo Continent, spread faith, and begin her own Path to Godhood.]

[Spirit Hall was born from this day onward.]

The image froze on Qian Yuhan's face, filled with determination and love.

Holiness and ambition intertwined in Qian Yuhan's eyes, forming an incomparably complex picture.

Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong stared fixedly at the Secret Chamber within the Sky Screen, her body trembling uncontrollably.

When she saw Qian Yuhan take the initiative to throw herself at Wei Yuan and use a kiss to melt his resistance.

A sealed, humiliating memory crashed through her sanity like floodwaters bursting through a dam.

It had also been in a Secret Chamber...

It had also been at the hands of a man surnamed "Qian"...

Only, Qian Yuhan had acted willingly, driven by love and possessiveness.

While she had been passive, forced to endure the nauseating violation of that beast Qian Xunji!

"Hehe... hehehehe..."

Bibi Dong's laughter was shrill and venomous.

"What a Qian Family!

"What an Angel Spirit!

"One forced someone out of love, while the other committed violence for desire!

"You... all deserve to die!"

At this moment, her hatred for Spirit Hall, the Qian Family, and that supposedly sacred Angel Bloodline rose to an unprecedented peak.

One had acted willingly, while the other had been forced. Their circumstances were worlds apart, yet they made her feel twice the irony and pain.

Outside the Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu's face alternated between green and white.

His ancestor's use of a forbidden formation to forcibly keep the one he loved had indeed tarnished the Angel Spirit's prestige and left him deeply ashamed.

But immediately afterward, the image on the Sky Screen changed violently once more!

The scene shifted to the turbulent Eastern Hemisphere Ocean.

Wei Yuan was covered in blood, and even the phantom of the Purple Blazing Sky-Destroying Dragon had dimmed somewhat. He had clearly gone through a brutal battle.

Beneath his feet, a colossal beast as massive as a mountain range was slowly sinking into the seabed. It was... a 990,000 Years Mysterious Nether Sea Dragon King!

The entire continent fell silent!

To slay a Soul Beast that was nearly a Million Years old—what kind of mighty power was that?!

However, just as Wei Yuan suffered heavy injuries and his aura was at its weakest.

A streak of golden light appeared behind him as if by Instantaneous Movement.

Poseidon held the Scepter of the Sea. A hypocritical smile rested on his face, but his eyes were full of greed and killing intent.

"Wei Yuan, your era is over."

Splat—!

Without any warning, the Scepter of the Sea pierced through Wei Yuan's heart from behind.

Wei Yuan's eyes filled with shock and disbelief. He slowly turned around and looked at this "friend," who had once been known alongside him as one of the Sea Twin Stars.

"Wh... why..."

"Because this sea can only have one master!"

Poseidon coldly withdrew the Scepter of the Sea and allowed Wei Yuan's body to fall into the deep ocean.

Wei Yuan had actually already reached the Half-step Becoming a God stage, and the God Position he had created was already taking shape.

It was only that Wei Yuan was unwilling. He did not want to create a God Position using only the faith of Sun Moon Continent.

His goal was to create his own Divine King.

Only a God Position opened up by oneself would be the most compatible with oneself.

That was why he had refused the Evil God King's Inheritance.

But he had never expected that Poseidon, his closest friend and someone with whom he had shared such a deep bond, would actually betray him from behind!

From then on, Poseidon obtained the other half of the sea's faith that Wei Yuan had gathered in the Eastern Hemisphere.

Many years later, Poseidon had accumulated enough.

He created his own Deity, the Sea God's God Position, becoming a First-level God.

He fused the Power of Faith Wei Yuan had gathered on Sun Moon Continent into the Scepter of the Sea, which had transformed into a Divine Weapon after following him into godhood, causing it to evolve into the Super Divine Weapon, the Sea God's Trident.

He left it on Sea God Island. As long as the Sun Moon Empire continued to exist, their Power of Faith toward Wei Yuan would continuously flow into the Sea God's Trident.

After Poseidon became a god, the Douluo Plane's rejection and the God Realm's pull also grew increasingly stronger.
