"And you... weren't you that little brat chosen before me...?"

With that one mouth of his,

he managed to thoroughly offend both of them at once.

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo's faces darkened, their teeth grinding audibly.

"Silence!"

King Yama's voice was as cold as iron. Poseidon immediately seemed to have his throat seized and could no longer make a sound.

The great hall fell silent.

King Yama's deep voice slowly rang out.

"Poseidon, born in a fishing village on the East Sea of the Douluo Continent!"

"Lost his father at three, awakened his Martial Soul, 'Fish Fork,' at six..."

"At one hundred, broke through the ninety-ninth-rank Limit Douluo realm..."

Hearing this, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo could not help looking at the soul kneeling on the ground.

Their feelings were complicated.

They had to admit that this man truly was a peerless genius!

"At eight hundred and fifty-six, he discovered the secret of the Angel God's ascension, then instigated a continental war, split the Douluo Empire, and usurped Ocean Faith!"

"At one thousand and one, he broke through rank one hundred and created his own divine position, the Sea God..."

[You understood the importance of faith. Fearing that Ocean Faith would dissipate after your departure, you deliberately enraged the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, turning him into a sword hanging above the heads of all Sea Soul Masters and Sea Soul Beasts...]

[At two thousand and eight, you gained a foothold in the God Realm and sought to advance further. In secret, you handed the Heart of the Sea God to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, preparing to overthrow the Angel God's faith...]

Before the Sky Screen,

countless people of Douluo were stunned.

So... there had truly once been a unified empire on the Douluo Continent!

The thousand-year division and warfare between Heaven Dou and Star Luo had actually resulted from the Sea God's secret instigation to seize Ocean Faith?

What, then, had those soldiers who died in border conflicts and those displaced civilians... been?

Tiandou Imperial Palace.

Xue Beng shot to his feet from the throne.

What shocked him was neither that buried history nor the innocent lives sacrificed behind the split between the two great empires.

What pained him was the "Heart of the Sea God"!

He had personally given that thing away back then!

"If I'd known... if I'd known, I would've kept it for myself!"

Xue Beng beat his chest and stamped his feet as if he had lost ten billion Gold Soul Coins.

"With the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's connection to the Sea God... I'm more qualified than Tang San to inherit that divine position!"

Fortunately, the Sea God had already fallen. Otherwise, he truly would have regretted it to death!

Star Luo Empire.

Emperor Dai Tianfeng was similarly unmoved.

The past had become smoke.

What he needed to do was fulfill the long-cherished wish of generations of emperors and unify the continent once more!

According to the records of the Star Luo Imperial Family, they were the true orthodox rulers of the Douluo Empire.

Their ancestor, the God of War,

had been the first emperor to unify the Douluo Continent. The Angel God had merely come later!

On Sea God Island, there was utter silence.

As King Yama's words carried over, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and everyone on the island, who had been confronting each other moments earlier, all froze in place!

"Hahahaha! I never expected this, never expected it at all!"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King transformed into a burly man with purple hair, threw back his head, and laughed wildly, his expression crazed.

"I was merely a pawn in his hand?! I thought... I thought I had kept my life because I lowered my head and begged for mercy back then!"

He laughed until tears burst from his eyes.

"I laughed at Poseidon for being foolish—but I was ten million times more foolish than him!!!"

All the suffering they had endured,

their loved ones dying tragically, their homes destroyed, living day and night under the threat and terror of the Demon Whale King!

Had all of it been designed by the god they worshipped,

just so he could harvest faith?

This feeling of being betrayed by their faith was unbearable to countless people. In an instant, their minds collapsed, and they descended into madness!

Some even charged directly toward Sea God Island, transforming from fanatics into destroyers!

And the one leading them

was Xiao Bai, chieftain of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan!

She had faithfully served as the Sea God's mount her entire life, taking it upon herself to preserve peace in the ocean.

Countless members of her clan had charged forward one after another,

dying tragically at the hands of the Evil Spirit Orcas and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale clan. Even her younger brother had not escaped death.

Yet now, she was being told

that all of this could have been avoided, that it had merely been a play staged by the Sea God?

"High Priest—!"

Blood still ran down Xiao Bai's arm, a wound left from her earlier efforts to block the Evil Orca King.

She stared fixedly at Bo Saixi, every word like a blade.

"Give my clan... an explanation!"

Bo Saixi's face turned deathly pale.

An explanation? What explanation could she possibly give?

She and the Sacred Pillar Guardians had not been completely unaware of the things the Sea God had done...

But how could they explain such shameful deeds?

"Anyone who wishes to leave the island may do so on their own!"

Bo Saixi closed her eyes. After saying this, she spoke no more.

Silently, she gathered her Soul Power and resisted the attacks of the Evil Orca King and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

She knew that Sea God Island was finished.

But she would not leave.

Born here, raised here, then... she would die here!

The Seven Sacred Pillars stood silently behind her, likewise choosing to live and die with Sea God Island!

"Third Brother... what do we do? Do we leave or stay?"

Ma Hongjun was sweating profusely in panic.

"We can't leave!"

Tang San gritted his teeth.

"If we leave the island now, we'll definitely die! We can only wait... wait until the island falls. Perhaps then there'll still be a sliver of hope!"

He looked toward Bo Saixi, who was struggling to hold on in the distance, and said softly,

"Besides, with the High Priest here, it won't be so easy for them to break through."

Yet inwardly, he could not help cursing.

That foolish Sea God had not only harmed himself, but dragged them into this disaster as well!

[Your scheme was seen through by the Angel God, cutting off your chance to advance further. You bore a grudge and, during one mission, ambushed and killed the Angel God...]

Spirit Hall, Worship Hall.

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and the other offerings abruptly changed expression, their entire bodies shaking!

"Our ancestor... fell?"
