Background / History

The High Priest leads Sea God Island’s religious and military hierarchy, standing above the Sacred Pillar Guardians. The position oversees the Sacred Pillars, which preserve the island’s foundation and enable communication with the Sea God’s divine power. When a poisonous legacy threatened Xiaobai and devastated several Sea God Island powerhouses, the High Priest—then in seclusion—ordered that Xiaobai be kept alive regardless of cost. 54

The former High Priest subsequently directed Sea God Island’s response to Kraken’s repeated provocations. He personally joined operations against the deep-sea beast and, following Kraken’s escape, trusted the Evil Orca King Huben’s report that he had driven Kraken into the God-Burial Sea Abyss. The High Priest rewarded Huben with three Sea God Blessings, access to the Sea Heart Spring, and reduced tribute obligations while ordering intensified surveillance of the outer seas. 239 248 250

After the continental war and the collapse of faith across the mainland, the High Priest reported the situation to Sea God Tang San. In response to the Sea God’s decree, the High Priest dispatched the seven Sacred Pillar Guardians to suppress Evil Soul Masters, stabilize order, and observe Ye Qingning, while remaining on Sea God Island to guard the sacred land. 234

Following the deaths of Begonia Douluo, Halberd Douluo, and Sea Cucumber Douluo, the High Priest initiated the Sacred Pillar Divine Selection to restore the island’s depleted guardians. Kraken disrupted the ceremony by erasing three candidates, after which the High Priest failed to locate the attacker and imposed the island’s highest level of martial law. After further internal reorganization, he expelled the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan for its manipulation by Kraken. The inheritance was eventually renewed through Crayfish Douluo, Dolphin Douluo, and Leaf Sheep Douluo. 241 255 256

During the restoration rites, the High Priest explained Sea God Island’s inherited belief that Kraken was a divine trial connected to the Sea God’s future inheritor. He disclosed that previous generations had suffered catastrophic losses trying to eliminate Kraken, including a rank 99 High Priest and seven Sacred Pillars who had failed to kill him thousands of years earlier. He also relayed an ancient conjecture that Kraken may have gained strength by devouring his own kin. 256 257

Unknown to the former High Priest, Coral Douluo and Sea Swallow Douluo had already been infiltrated or manipulated by Kraken. His trust in Huben, Coral, and Sea Swallow therefore left Sea God Island’s defense and succession vulnerable to internal betrayal. 250 256 283

When Coral Douluo sought to resign out of guilt over Dolphin Douluo’s death, the High Priest refused, directing Coral to turn guilt into resolve and continue protecting Sea God Island. Soon afterward, the High Priest received another divine oracle: receive Shrek Academy, grant divine trials, and stabilize the Sea God’s faith anchor points on the continent. 271

To prepare the remaining Sacred Pillars for the urgent mission, the High Priest employed Divine Power Infusion, forcing Coral, Sea Swallow, Conch, and Leaf Sheep from rank 95 to rank 98. The infusion succeeded, but visibly drained the High Priest, who needed pills and prolonged recovery afterward. 273 274

During the assault on Sea God Island, the High Priest prioritized Mu Yun’s divine trial while coordinating the island-wide defense. He used Sea God’s power to purge poison mist, heal defenders, and destroy dangerous soul beasts before personally confronting the Demon Empress. In the final battle, he fought the Demon Empress while relying on the island’s home-field advantage and a divine artifact. Di Tian and the Demon Empress then launched a coordinated surprise attack, inflicting fatal wounds. Before dying, the High Priest named Coral Douluo as the next High Priest. 280 281 282 283 284

Coral Douluo formally inherited the Sea God Scepter and assumed the High Priesthood in the immediate aftermath. He placed Sea God Island’s hopes in Mu Yun’s completion of the divine trial while attempting to preserve the surviving Sacred Pillars and the sacred land. 285

A later holder, the Conch High Priest, received Shrek representatives investigating Blue King and promptly mobilized Sea God Island’s intelligence network. Although she retained the title’s ceremonial authority, she later revealed that the Demon Empress had infiltrated Sea God Island and deprived her of real control, leaving her to secretly cultivate a force of loyal Title Douluo. 372 427 428

When Titan returned severely injured after acting on incomplete East Sea intelligence, the Conch High Priest admitted that she had concealed information, though she maintained that she did not know the Ancient Giant Octopus’s true identity. She subsequently sought an alliance with Titan against the Demon Empress, offering evidence of the infiltration and committing nine loyal Title Douluo to the operation. 427 428

The Conch High Priest provided Titan with Sea God Dew to restore his strength and led him through Sea God Island’s hidden passages for a night raid on the Demon Empress’s secret chamber. Her assassination plan was compromised by Huben and three traitors; Huben killed four Title Douluo immediately, prompting the High Priest to order Sea Wolf, Halberd Douluo, Crayfish Douluo, Sea Spear, and Giant Claw to contain him. 429 430

Appearance

Different holders of the title are depicted across the story.

• The former High Priest was an elderly man with white hair and beard, a benevolent but dignified face, snow-white robes, and the Sea God Scepter in hand. 234 275
• The later Conch High Priest is a woman of indeterminate age in an ornate sea-blue priestess robe, with a gentle face and eyes described as deep as the ocean. 372
• By Titan’s first visit to Sea God Island, the female officeholder appeared greatly aged and exhausted, with fully white hair, deep wrinkles, clouded eyes, and faded Sea God patterns on her white robe. 415
• The officeholder’s presence is associated with vast faith power and resonance with Sea God Mountain or Sea God Island. 236 372

Personality

The former High Priest is resolute, demanding, and deeply committed to Sea God Island’s survival. He could be compassionate toward wounded allies, but treated retreat from duty as cowardice; his guidance to Coral Douluo emphasized responsibility, vengeance, and atonement rather than absolution. 271 276

He was also pragmatic in crisis. He accepted the risks of forcibly advancing the Sacred Pillars, ordered withdrawal rather than reckless battle if Kraken intercepted them, and entrusted Coral with leadership even while dying. 273 274 284

The later Conch High Priest is notably controlled and guarded. She deals calmly with visitors and commands the island’s intelligence apparatus efficiently, but concealed crucial information from Titan before proposing cooperation with him. 372 427 428

Despite her compromised position, the Conch High Priest is determined to restore Sea God Island’s former independence. She was willing to risk an open confrontation with the Demon Empress, recruit Titan as an outside ally, and personally lead a covert assassination operation through the island’s hidden passages. 428 429 430

• Fought the Demon Empress to a temporary standstill while benefiting from the sacred land and a divine artifact. 283
