Douluo: I, a Prehistoric World Dao Venerable, Was Live-Streamed by the Sky Screen

He understood this kind of maneuver far too well.

If the Sky Screen had not appeared, he and the God King of Goodness would still be loafing around in the lower realm!

The God Kings were still doing their utmost to salvage what little remained of their crumbling dignity.

Meanwhile, another upheaval was brewing in the Prehistoric World.

The Shrimp Soldier had originally intended to kill this blue-haired fool who had provoked him outright.

But then he suddenly sensed it—the crystal had been stolen!

"You're courting death! You actually stole my wife's precious pearl!"

The Shrimp Soldier's expression changed drastically.

He kicked the half-dead Poseidon flying, then seized his Steel Fork and gave chase.

That Clam Pearl only formed once every thousand years, and every one of them represented his wife's painstaking effort.

How could he let some petty thief benefit from it?

Poseidon choked on several mouthfuls of seawater and barely managed to cling to half his life.

How could he dare to linger?

Clutching his bloody buttocks, he fled desperately in the opposite direction without looking back.

"Shen Gongbao... you bastard, you actually dared to scheme against me!"

"Just you wait... sooner or later, I'll pull out your tendons and flay your skin!"

"And that shrimp-headed man... today's humiliation, I will repay a hundredfold..."

At this point,

how could he not understand that Shen Gongbao had used him as a weapon?

But he could not understand it.

As the mighty Sea God, how had he failed to withstand even a single move from the other party?

Could it be... that every one of his previous deductions had been wrong?

"Too close, too close... I nearly got caught by that Shrimp Soldier!"

Shen Gongbao poked his head out from behind a cluster of reefs, panting heavily, a talisman paper that had already burned to ashes pinched between his fingers.

"Luckily, I prepared a Teleportation Talisman beforehand... but next time, I can't use such an idiot again. He nearly ruined my grand plan!"

His original plan had been to quietly infiltrate the seabed, then arrange for Poseidon to lure away the Shrimp Soldier.

Yet this guy had exposed his whereabouts the moment he arrived.

Fortunately, he had reacted quickly and provoked Poseidon.

The two of them had started fighting first, giving him the chance to make his move.

"But... it was worth it! A thousand-year treasure pearl like this could fetch at least five hundred Mid-grade Spirit Stones!"

Shen Gongbao stroked the Clam Pearl in his hand, feeling delighted.

But as he laughed,

the corners of his mouth gradually drooped again.

"Alas, I possess such talent, yet I've drifted through half my life without even being able to join a proper sect... Otherwise, how could I have ended up like this?"

He had sought out the Human King and paid respects at Kunlun,

yet no one had been willing to accept him.

Otherwise, he would not have fallen so low as to survive by thievery and trickery.

"Forget it, forget it... everyone has their fate. I'll let nature take its course!"

Shen Gongbao sighed, put away the Clam Pearl, and strode toward the nearest city.

He planned to sell the pearl first.

Keeping it would only invite trouble!

Yet after taking only a few steps,

a familiar figure staggered out from behind the reefs ahead.

Their eyes met.

Shen Gongbao's smile instantly froze on his face.

"Truly... Heaven has opened its eyes!"

Poseidon flung back his dripping wet hair, revealing a savage grin.

The Trident in his hand slowly rose.

"Fellow Daoist, you're alright... th-that's wonderful!"

Shen Gongbao forced out a smile even uglier than crying.

He had clearly seen the other man get stabbed straight through the heart. Why was he not dead yet?

That shrimp-headed man truly had a shrimp's brain!

He had also outsmarted himself. He should never have teleported in the opposite direction...

"Those who dare toy with me like this—you are the first!"

Poseidon gritted his teeth, every word seeming to squeeze out between them.

"Today, I will use your blood to wash away my humiliation!"

He was a chief god known as the "God of Wisdom of the God Realm." Having been played like a monkey, where was he supposed to put his face?

"Fellow Daoist, wait—!"

Seeing that Poseidon truly intended to attack, Shen Gongbao also grew angry.

What rank were you to challenge me?

But the next second,

his expression changed and his eyes darted.

His face instantly filled with innocence as he hurriedly took out the softly glowing Clam Pearl.

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand!"

"When I saw Fellow Daoist in danger just now, I was frantic with worry. But my cultivation was so meager that I truly could not intervene!"

"In my desperation, I risked diving into the seabed and stealing this treasure pearl. This was a plan to make a feint in the east and strike in the west, to relieve Zhao by besieging Wei!"

"Now, it seems the plan succeeded. Fellow Daoist escaped safely, so this pearl... should naturally be returned to its rightful owner!"

He spoke with great emotion and utter sincerity.

He was just short of shedding two tears.

Poseidon was stunned. Thinking it over carefully... it actually seemed to make some sense?

The Shrimp Soldier had indeed been lured away by him, allowing him to survive.

Could it be... that he had truly wronged him?

At the instant he hesitated, a familiar and ferocious aura suddenly rose behind him!

The Shrimp Soldier had caught up!

Poseidon's expression changed drastically.

How could he still care about settling this score?

He snatched the Clam Pearl from Shen Gongbao's hand and turned to flee.

"Fellow Daoist—please stay!"

Yet that familiar voice rang out again!

Poseidon's steps halted.

He could not help turning around!

"Fellow Daoist, you're being foolish! We can escape for a while, but can we escape forever?"

Shen Gongbao beat his chest and stamped his feet, looking like he hated iron for not becoming steel.

"We only took one of his pearls, yet that Shrimp Soldier is pursuing us so relentlessly. He has gone too far!"

"I have a plan that can not only avenge this grievance, but also make him suffer a great loss. I just wonder whether Fellow Daoist has the courage to vent this anger?"

The humiliating image of himself being impaled in midair and struggling like a trash fish flashed through Poseidon's mind. His eyes instantly turned red.

"What plan do you have? Let me hear it!"
