"Angel God... the god of my inheritance... is also connected to that Wei Yuan?"

Qian Renxue unconsciously clenched her fists.

The greatest pride of her life was inheriting the Six-winged Angel Spirit and being destined to become the Angel God.

But now, the Sky Screen was telling her that this supreme God Position might also conceal unknown secrets.

It left her feeling a confusion and unease unlike anything she had ever known.

"Wei Yuan... Purple Blazing Sky-Destroying Dragon..."

She softly murmured the two names.

A man from the Sun Moon Continent, and a Martial Soul that had never left any remarkable trace in the history books of the Douluo Continent, yet both were successively linked to the Path to Godhood of two top-tier deities—the Sea God and the Angel God.

What earth-shattering secret was hidden within all this?

Qian Renxue's expression became exceedingly complicated.

On one hand, she hoped the Sky Screen's revelation was false, so that the perfect image of the Angel God in her heart could be preserved.

On the other, she could not suppress her curiosity and wanted to learn the truth behind that buried history.

"The next revelation... the Angel God..."

Qian Renxue slowly rose to her feet and walked to the window. Gazing at the Sky Screen that had already vanished from the sky, her eyes were profound.

"Regardless of the truth, I must ultimately walk my own path."

"I will never waver on the Path to Godhood!"

Qian Renxue took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the distracting thoughts in her heart.

Yet she knew that from this day onward, the name "Wei Yuan" had left an indelible mark upon her heart.

The Sky Screen had vanished, but the shock it brought was like an endless tsunami, sweeping through every corner of Sea God Island.

Sea God Mountain, once sacred and tranquil, was now filled with clamoring voices and utter chaos.

Thousands of Sea Soul Masters had gathered in the square before Sea God Hall. Their faces were filled with shock, rage, confusion, and a sense of betrayal. They shouted emotionally, demanding that the High Priestess give them an explanation.

"High Priestess! Please come out and tell us, is what the Sky Screen said true?"

"Did Lord Sea God truly become a god by betraying his closest friend?"

"The god our families have worshipped for generations was actually a vile scoundrel? I don't believe it! This must be false!"

"If it's false, why hasn't Lord Sea God sent down an Oracle to refute it? Why has even the Sea God's Light dimmed?"

Each question was like a sharp blade piercing the hearts of every resident of Sea God Island.

Their faith had been utterly shattered today.

Within Sea God Hall, the Seven Great Sacred Pillar Guardians gathered together with pale faces, every one of them wearing an incomparably grave expression.

As the leader of the seven, Sea Dragon Douluo spoke in a hoarse voice:

"I already went to seek the High Priestess's guidance, but... she has locked herself in her chambers and refuses to see anyone."

Sea Horse Douluo sighed, his face full of sorrow.

"How could this happen... How could Lord Sea God... do something like this? I cannot believe it. This must be some conspiracy aimed at Sea God Island!"

"But we all witnessed the Sky Screen's great power with our own eyes. It is simply not something mortals could forge."

Sea Star Douluo shook his head bitterly.

"And haven't you noticed?

Our connection with Lord Sea God... has become weaker than ever before, almost... completely severed."

The moment those words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

As the Sea God's most loyal servants, they knew better than anyone what this meant.

It meant that either Lord Sea God had taken the initiative to sever his connection with them, or... something had happened to Lord Sea God!

Combined with what the Sky Screen had revealed, the answer was self-evident.

"What do we do now?"

Sea Spear Douluo paced back and forth anxiously.

"The people outside are about to lose control. If this continues, Sea God Island will fall into complete chaos!"

Sea Dragon Douluo took a deep breath, and a trace of resolve flashed through his eyes.

"No matter what, we must stabilize the situation.

Sea God Island is our home. We absolutely cannot let it be destroyed in our hands.

Pass down my order: the Seven Great Sacred Pillars are to return to their positions, soothe the people, and suppress all unrest!

Before we receive clear instructions from the High Priestess, maintaining order on Sea God Island is our highest priority!"

"Yes!"

The other six answered in unison. They then transformed into streams of light and flew toward their respective Sacred Pillars, beginning to carry out their final duties.

Sea God Hall, the High Priestess's chambers.

The place was deathly silent.

Dressed in magnificent ceremonial robes, Bo Saixi knelt alone on the cold floor. Her peerlessly beautiful and noble face was now streaked with tears, ashen with despair.

Before her rested an exquisite blue magic formation. At its center floated an azure, teardrop-shaped gemstone—her medium for communicating with the Sea God.

Yet the gemstone, which would once bloom with light at the slightest prayer from her, was now dull and lusterless. No matter how she poured Soul Power into it or how devoutly she called out, it vanished like a stone sinking into the sea, receiving not the slightest response.

"Why... why has this happened..."

Bo Saixi muttered absentmindedly, her eyes filled with boundless pain and despair.

She did not want to believe what the Sky Screen had shown.

In her heart, the Sea God was an omnipotent, radiant, and great Supreme God—the being she had devoted her entire life to loving and following.

For him, she had given up the chance to remain with Tang Chen and waited alone on Sea God Island for a hundred years.

But now, a cruel truth lay bloodily before her, telling her that the god she worshipped and adored was a Hypocrite who had risen to power through betrayal and lies.

Her faith, her love, and the convictions she had upheld throughout her life had all become the greatest joke in the world at this moment.

"No... I don't believe it..."

Again and again, Bo Saixi tried to communicate with the Sea God, hoping to receive a denial from him.

Even the faintest ripple of Divine Power would have let her grasp onto her final lifeline.

Yet there was nothing.

Nothing at all.

That realm belonging to the god had become a silent void to her.

Bo Saixi finally gave up.

She slowly collapsed onto the floor, tears silently sliding down her face and soaking the ground beneath her.

She recalled what that domineering yet deeply affectionate man, Tang Chen, had said to her a century ago:

"Xiao Xi, is a god truly worth giving up everything for? Come with me. Let's create a world of our own together."

Back then, she had refused.

Thinking of it now, how ironic it was.

The god she had protected all her life was a Hypocrite. The lover she had missed remained devoted until death.

"Tang Chen... I was wrong... I was wrong..."

Her sorrowful sobs echoed through the empty chambers for a long time.

The highest authority of Sea God Island, a Limit Douluo infinitely close to godhood, had completely broken down under the double collapse of faith and love.

Sea God Island's future was now shrouded in mist.
