Poseidon feared provoking the wrath of the Divine Realm Committee, so he used the Sea God's Trident as one of the inheritances of the Nine Trials of the Sea God he had left on Sea God Island, continuing to absorb faith openly and legitimately.

He hoped to recall the Sea God's Trident in the future, allowing the Sea God's Divine Core to evolve into that of a Divine King, enter the Divine Realm Committee, and become the sixth Divine King.

Above the Sky Screen, large Golden Light words appeared, as piercing as blood:

[The promise could not be fulfilled, all because of a despicable betrayal.]

[A peerless genius of a generation fell just like that.]

At the end, the scene shifted to the distant Sun Moon Continent.

Inside a magnificent palace, countless people wept bitterly before a shattered life plaque, their eyes filled with hatred and unwillingness.

A line of small words emerged:

[The mystery of our ancestor's disappearance, this blood-deep hatred shall be avenged for generations.]

Seeing this, Qian Daoliu let out a long sigh of relief.

The embarrassment on Qian Daoliu's aged face vanished completely, replaced by a sense of superiority born of comparison.

Qian Daoliu straightened his back and snorted inwardly.

"Hmph!

"Compared with a despicable wretch like Sea God Poseidon, who stabbed people in the back and snuffed out geniuses, the actions of my ancestor, Qian Yuhan, were simply upright and honorable!

"Every bit of her obsession stemmed from love!

"And Poseidon acted purely out of jealousy and greed! The difference between them is obvious!"

At that moment, Qian Daoliu even felt that his ancestor's "scumminess" had a certain style to it.

Meanwhile, the entire Douluo Continent fell into a frenzy of curses directed at the Sea God.

"I'm disgusted!

"This is the Sea God?

"A sneak attack from behind?

"How shameless!"

"Wei Yuan trusted him so much. He even wanted to split the ocean with him, half for each of them, yet he actually used such a vicious hand!"

"Compared to the Sea God, the Angel God is practically a devoted lover!"

"Poor Wei Yuan. Even more pitiful is the Angel God—she was still waiting bitterly on the Douluo Continent, establishing Spirit Hall and trying to catch up to her beloved, never knowing that her lover had long since been harmed by a petty villain..."

For a time, public opinion across the continent underwent a heaven-shaking reversal.

The sympathy for the Angel God and the contempt for the Sea God formed a stark contrast.

The light of the Sky Screen gradually dimmed.

Yet the shock it had left behind was only beginning to ferment.

Just as the entire Douluo Continent was reeling from the Angel God's secrets,

Sea God Island, isolated far out at sea, was no longer the tranquil and peaceful holy land it had once been.

It had already become a living hell.

Ever since the disgraceful deeds committed by [Sea God · Poseidon] Twenty Thousand Years ago had been exposed,

the spiritual pillar of this island, whose absolute core was faith in the Sea God, had come crashing down.

The once-devout believers had now split into several factions.

Some could not accept that the deity they had revered for ten thousand years was such a despicable villain. They went completely mad.

Some danced wildly by the shore, babbling nonsense.

Others charged toward Sea God Hall, attempting to smash the divine statues, only to be blasted to pieces by the remaining restrictions.

Another group, after their faith collapsed, completely unleashed the darkness within their hearts.

They no longer obeyed the island's rules. They burned, killed, looted, and took advantage of the chaos.

Neighbors who had once lived in harmony now turned their blades upon one another.

For food, for Soul Tools, or even for a few harsh words, they would erupt into life-and-death battles.

Thick smoke rose from every corner of the island. For the first time, sacred Sea God Island was stained by blood and fire.

There were also those who were lost and helpless, hiding inside their homes and trembling.

Listening to the screams and slaughter outside, they had no idea what the future held.

The entire Sea God Island had descended into unprecedented chaos and rebellion.

Yet what was most despairing was this:

The island's Guardians, who should have stepped forward to take charge and quell the unrest, turned a blind eye to it all.

Before Sea God Hall,

the Great Enshrined Bo Saixi, once an incomparably graceful and majestic woman, now sat kneeling on the cold ground in a daze.

The god-bestowed soul ring granted to Bo Saixi by the Sea God had long since lost its radiance. There was not a trace of color on her exquisite face, and her hollow eyes stared blankly at the enormous golden Sky Screen in the heavens, her heart as dead as ashes.

Behind her stood—or sat—Sea Dragon, Sea Horse, Sea Star...

The seven powerful Titled Douluo, once the seven Pillars Supporting the Heavens guarding Sea God Island, all wore numb expressions.

They turned a deaf ear to the flames soaring into the sky across the island and the piercing cries of agony.

Their faith in the Sea God was beyond anything anyone else on the continent could compare to.

They had devoted their entire lives to this deity.

But now, the Sky Screen had laid bare Poseidon's hypocrisy, selfishness, and despicableness before the entire world.

Their faith, their convictions, the meaning of their entire lives—all of it had become a joke in that instant.

They did not want to intervene, nor did they have the strength to.

When the altar in one's heart collapses, what meaning is there in guarding it?

Bo Saixi's lips moved slightly, but no sound emerged.

Bo Saixi stared fixedly at Qian Yuhan's story on the Sky Screen, while inside, she offered an almost venomous prayer.

Expose it... expose all of it...

Bo Saixi screamed madly in her heart.

Qian Yuhan... weren't you praised as the Avatar of light and holiness?

Weren't you the perfect god Spirit Hall boasted about?

Let me see your disgrace! Let me see your ugliness!

When the words [Jealousy] and [Possession] appeared on the Sky Screen,

a strange gleam actually flashed through Bo Saixi's hollow eyes.

When she saw Qian Yuhan imprison Wei Yuan with a forbidden formation and use obsessive love to forcibly keep him,

the corner of Bo Saixi's mouth twitched upward uncontrollably, forming an exceptionally ugly smile filled with pain and pleasure.

Yes... just like this...

So you aren't some holy angel either... just like that Hypocrite I believed in, you're a pathetic creature controlled by selfish desire and obsession!

Bo Saixi felt no sympathy for Wei Yuan's fate, nor did she feel contempt for Qian Yuhan's obsession.

She only felt a sick sense of balance.

Under such an overwhelming shock, Bo Saixi's temperament changed drastically, and she screamed inwardly:

Why was the god I believed in the only one who was such a hypocritical False God?

Why should only Sea God Island's faith collapse?

If the Angel God worshipped by your Spirit Hall was also a "False God" filled with jealousy and possessiveness,

then perhaps... the pain in my heart could lessen by even the tiniest bit?

This desire for everyone to rot together was Bo Saixi's only spiritual support at that moment.

"Great Enshrined..."

Sea Dragon Douluo spoke hoarsely. Looking at Bo Saixi's nearly twisted expression, his heart ached.

He knew that this woman, who had dedicated her entire life to the Sea God, had completely collapsed.

Bo Saixi ignored him. Her entire mind was immersed in the Sky Screen's judgment.

She could not wait to see more—to see more of Qian Yuhan's disgrace.
