Sea God Island Destruction, Renamed Zhenhai City! (Seeking Follow!)

At the edge of Sea God Island, thousands of figures gathered together, forming a fragile, desperate human wall.

Among them were white-haired elders, frightened women and children, and young Soul Masters of shallow cultivation, their faces filled with resentment and fear.

They were the residents of Sea God Island, the people left behind by High Priest Poseissi and the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo.

In their eyes, the steel behemoth known as the Fuhai was tearing through the sea in an unstoppable advance, growing ever larger.

Its cold steel shadow was like Death's cloak, slowly enveloping the homeland they depended on for survival—and the hearts of every person there.

Inside the Fuhai's bridge, the atmosphere was somewhat delicate.

Looking at the mass of people across the shore, Wei Tianchen frowned slightly.

This was not the scenario he had expected.

He had thought he would be greeted by an empty island, one he could do with as he pleased.

Now, these thousands of lives had instead become a troublesome complication.

He could not simply begin a massacre.

First, their primary purpose in launching this expedition against Sea God Island was to destroy the Sea God Inheritance and sever one of Douluo Continent's foundations of faith.

Second, they were to establish an outpost here in preparation for the Sun Moon Empire's possible future all-out war against Douluo Continent.

Massacring civilians would not only be meaningless, but would also provoke the entire continent into shared hatred.

More importantly, with the Sky Screen broadcasting everything live, it would saddle the rulers of the Sun Moon Empire with the infamy of being "tyrants."

What he needed was conquest, not Destruction.

Blazing Sun Douluo beside Wei Tianchen was also frowning, though he concealed his emotions well.

As a Level 98 Peak Douluo, he had experienced countless battles throughout his life. In his eyes, this crowd, with barely any Soul Emperors among them, was no different from ants.

But with the Sky Screen broadcasting live, he could not reveal any impatience or killing intent. He could only maintain the composed bearing of an unfathomable master.

Just as Wei Tianchen considered how to resolve this "trouble" without bloodshed—

And prepared to go down personally, using absolute strength to intimidate these people into leaving—

A disturbance broke out among the crowd on the opposite shore.

A somewhat hunched old man pushed through the crowd and trembled his way to the front.

He wore the standard blue robes of Sea God Island. His hair was gray-white, and his face was filled with exhaustion and bitterness.

Judging from the Soul Power fluctuations emanating from him, he was actually an eight-ringed Soul Douluo.

Anywhere else, he would have been a powerhouse capable of founding his own sect.

Yet at this moment, facing the four unfathomable auras aboard the Fuhai, he seemed as insignificant as a flickering candle in the wind.

Under the gaze of Billions of Living Beings across Douluo Continent, the old Soul Douluo performed an action that filled countless people with heartache and humiliation.

He bent deeply at the waist and gave a grand salute toward the Fuhai.

"Sea God Island sinner, Hai Hua, greets... greets the esteemed experts from Sun Moon Continent."

Hai Hua's voice spread through Soul Power, carrying clearly into the Fuhai's bridge and across the entire Sky Screen.

The tremor and helplessness in his voice made everyone who heard it feel the same anguish.

Wei Tianchen stopped what he was about to do. He watched the old man on the screen with interest, a teasing smile curling across his lips.

The old Soul Douluo straightened up, forcing out a smile even uglier than tears as he continued.

"Esteemed experts, I believe you already know.

Sea God Island no longer... no longer has the strength to resist."

"High Priest Poseissi, the seven Pillar Douluo, and the other powerful figures have all left this place.

All that remains on the island now are old people, women, and children with nowhere else to go."

He pointed at the terrified, despairing faces behind him, his voice growing ever more mournful.

"We are merely ordinary people abandoned by the gods... We beg you to show mercy and spare our lives.

We are willing to leave this island immediately. We would never dare remain here for even a moment longer!"

His words were filled with submission and pleading.

Hai Hua did not make any demands, nor did he dare make any.

He did not defend Sea God Island. He merely humbly begged the invaders to spare their lives.

This scene made Bo Saixi, already on Douluo Continent, and the seven Pillar Douluo who had gone far away clench their fists, humiliation and fury burning in their eyes.

Who could have imagined that the once lofty Sea God Island would fall to such a state?

Aboard the Fuhai, Wei Tianchen's smile widened after hearing those words.

Wei Tianchen stepped forward to the very front of the bridge, his figure clearly captured by the Sky Screen's camera.

His voice, amplified by a soul tool, thundered across the skies above Sea God Island like rolling heavenly lightning.

"You are very smart—far smarter than those fools who stubbornly resisted."

Wei Tianchen's voice carried condescending approval, as though an emperor were praising a subject who knew the times.

"Rest assured. I, Wei Tianchen, did not come here to slaughter weaklings who cannot even hold their weapons steady."

Wei Tianchen's gaze swept across the crowd below, filled with disdain and indifference.

"I came to end an age of false faith!

Sea God Poseidon can barely protect himself. Naturally, there is no need for his inheritance to continue existing."

His tone shifted, turning imposing and cold.

"This prince can grant you a way to live."

At those words, a suppressed commotion broke out among the crowd below, along with the relief of Aftermath of Survival.

"I will give you one hour to pack your belongings and leave this island!"

Wei Tianchen raised one finger, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"After one hour, this island will officially be renamed 'Zhenhai City,' becoming the first overseas territory planted before the heart of Douluo Continent by my Sun Moon Empire!"

"At that time, anyone who dares remain will be regarded as an enemy of the Sun Moon Empire!"

"And when it comes to enemies, I doubt you wish to experience the methods of the Sun Moon Empire for yourselves."

As his words fell, an immense Soul Power pressure erupted from Wei Tianchen, merging with the auras of the three consecrated masters behind him.

Like an invisible mountain, it crashed down viciously upon the hearts of everyone on Sea God Island!

The old Soul Douluo's face turned pale. He bowed deeply again and shouted hoarsely.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for sparing our lives!

We... we will leave at once!"

After saying that, he turned to the dazed and grief-stricken people behind him, roaring with all the strength in his body.

"What are you standing around for?! Hurry!

Take your families! We're leaving!

Leave this place!"

The crowd seemed to awaken from a dream. Cries, shouted urgings, and children's sobs intertwined.

They no longer clung to their homeland. Instead, they rushed frantically toward the docks on the other side of the island, searching for ships that could carry them away from this place of sorrow.
