The blazing sun beat down over the vast, boundless sea.
A gigantic whale floated on the surface. His enormous body stretched two hundred meters, and his entire form gleamed like a sapphire. Two huge eyes sat in his head, each more than three meters in diameter.
But one of his eyes was blind.
Both his size and appearance were terrifying.
Just sitting there, he could scare any Sea Soul Beast in the ocean out of its wits.
Soon, the giant whale slowly opened his eyes. The sight before him startled him so badly that he blurted, "What the hell!"
"Wasn't I just taking a nap at home!? How did I end up in the ocean?"
"What's going on?"
"Wait..."
Ye Wen was a little panicked. He quickly realized something was wrong. He'd clearly spoken in human words, so why had it come out as a whale's cry?
"My voice... and my body!"
Ye Wen was completely dumbfounded.
Only then did he notice that his body seemed strange. He could still control it just fine, but somehow, it felt different.
He quickly shifted his eyes to look at the lower half of his body.
What the hell!
Was he seeing this right!?
A fish! He saw a whale's tail!
Growing right out of his own body!
"I freaking turned into a... fish!!!"
Ye Qian couldn't help but cry out. It had all happened too suddenly. He couldn't accept that he'd gone to sleep as a handsome young man in the prime of his life, only to wake up as a whale.
"Did I transmigrate?"
"I never thought something this ridiculous would happen to me one day."
As a longtime webnovel reader, Ye Wen had an idea that he'd transmigrated.
And he could accept the whole transmigration thing.
But why a fish? Wouldn't it be better to be human?
After a moment, Ye Wen gradually calmed down. "Sigh, fine. A whale it is."
"But what kind of world is this?"
"I can clearly feel some kind of terrifying power inside me, and I can sense the special energy between heaven and earth."
"This isn't an ordinary world, is it?"
"And I... don't seem to be an ordinary whale, either."
After accepting reality, Ye Wen began to think about the situation and take in the world around him.
He still hadn't realized that he'd become a Soul Beast on the Douluo Continent, one whose cultivation was infinitely close to a million years, and currently the strongest and most badass of them all.
But just then, the giant whale's original memories began pouring into Ye Wen's mind.
"Ugh!~~~~~~"
"Pain..."
It felt as if Ye Wen's brain were about to explode. The pain was unbearable.
A moment later, the pain faded, but Ye Wen's feelings surged all over again.
"Holy cow..."
"I'm the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!?"
"This is the world of Douluo Continent!!"
As a longtime webnovel reader, how could Ye Wen not know about Douluo Continent?
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was the ruler of the ocean!
A Sea Soul Beast with a cultivation of nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine years!
A body that was ninety-nine percent divine!
His strength had reached the Half-God Level, just one step away from Becoming a God!
He was unquestionably one of the top powerhouses below god level, standing at the peak of strength—a truly terrifying existence!
And he'd actually become the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!
"Damn."
"Hell, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is powerful, sure, but doesn't this guy die before long?"
Although he'd started out at the peak of the continent's strength, Ye Wen wasn't happy about it. If anything, he felt a little speechless.
Because the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King would eventually die at the hands of Tang San, that hypocrite.
He was the target Tang San had to kill in the Eighth Trial when he took the Sea God Nine Trials.
In other words, sooner or later, he'd die at the hands of Tang San, that cheater, and Tang San would absorb his Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
"No way. Just sit around and wait for Tang San to come hunt me? Not a chance! I have to do something." Ye Wen wasn't willing to accept that fate.
He didn't know exactly when this was, how old Tang San was, or when he'd come. But in the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's memories, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mu Bai, and the others hadn't appeared yet.
From that, he could tell it was at least before Tang San's first visit to Sea God Island.
"If Tang San hasn't been to Sea God Island yet, then this is easy. I just have to change the course of his life ahead of time—or turn him into a cripple, or even kill him."
"With the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's strength, killing a cheater who hasn't grown up yet should be a piece of cake. Even if Tang Hao's protecting him, so what? Could Tang Hao beat me?"
"No, wait!" Ye Wen suddenly realized that this plan might not work.
"If I remember correctly, Soul Beasts can choose to Transform into Human after reaching a hundred thousand years of cultivation, or they can keep cultivating in beast form. But once they miss their chance to transform, it's hard to become human again."
"If I can't transform, how am I supposed to get to the human world? And even if I do transform, I'll have to start cultivating all over again..."
"Although fish-type Sea Soul Beasts can briefly take human form and come ashore after reaching a hundred thousand years of cultivation, they can only stay on land for two hours at most. On top of that, being away from the water weakens their strength to thirty percent."
"Two hours isn't even enough to get ashore and find Tang San. I'd be screwed!"
"This is such a pain! Looks like I can only wait for Tang San to come to Sea God Island. But by the time he heads there, that cheater will already have the Heart of the Ocean and destroyed Slaughter City, gaining the Divine Slaughter's Domain!"
"By then, the Sea God and Asura God will already have their eyes on Tang San. It'll probably be really difficult to go after him with two gods protecting him."
Ye Wen was a little irritated. As he remembered it, gods weren't allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Mortal Realm. But the Sea God and Asura God had repeatedly broken the rules of the God Realm, interfering in the Mortal Realm and helping Tang San.
Whenever Tang San was about to get killed, the Sea God and Asura God would show up to help him.
If Ye Wen waited until Tang San reached Sea God Island to make his move, the Sea God and those Asura Gods would probably interfere, making it hard for him to succeed!
Most likely, all he could do was watch Tang San grow stronger step by step on Sea God Island until Tang San killed him during the Eighth Trial, making him the final stepping stone on Tang San's path to Becoming a God.
"No! I have to change this fate!"
Ye Wen roared in defiance.
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
[The Fated Duel has begun. Would you like to accept?]
[Yes] [No]
"Fated Duel? What does that mean?" Ye Wen froze.
[This is the Fated Duel between you and Tang San. Rules: You cannot kill Tang San, nor can you turn him into a cripple who cannot cultivate. You may use any means to influence or interfere with Tang San's growth and development, but you must make sure he takes the Sea God Nine Trials and advances as far as the Sea God Eighth Trial.]
[When Tang San begins the Sea God Eighth Trial, the Fated Duel will officially begin. You cannot escape. You must kill Tang San during his Sea God Eighth Trial. Success: obtain a Divine Position inheritance. Failure: death.]
