In the God Realm, inside the Sea God Hall.

Poseidon was closing his eyes, focusing his mind to sense the flow of the laws of the God Realm.

At his level of cultivation, ordinary practice no longer served any purpose.

Otherwise, he would not have been thinking of leveraging the talent of Ye Qing to help himself break through to the level of a God King.

It was only because deities were immortal, and he had neither wife nor children, that he could only use cultivation to pass the time.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed sharply, as if he had been pricked by something, and he snapped his eyes open.

Those eyes, deep as the ocean, were now filled with confusion and rage.

His gaze pierced through the barriers of the hall, looking straight toward the nearby Angel God Temple that radiated holy brilliance.

"What is going on?"

He muttered in a low voice, his tone laced with an unbelievable irritability: "Did I not tell that child to go to Heaven Dou City to retrieve the Heart of the Sea God? Why has he run off to the territory of that old woman, the Angel God? What on earth is Bo Saixi doing!"

After speaking, Poseidon stood up, a visible blue airflow swirling around his body, the phantom of the Sea God Trident flickering behind him.

He strode out of the hall and arrived before the tightly shut gates of the Angel God Temple. Without a second thought, he raised his fan-sized hand and began to pound on the door with a thunderous bang, bang, bang.

"Angel! Get out here!"

Poseidon's voice boomed like a thunderclap, shaking the surrounding divine clouds: "Damn you! How dare you snatch my successor? Sneaking around to lure my child to your dump of a place—have you no shame!"

"You couldn't beat me for the godhood back then, so now you're playing dirty? If you have the guts, open the door and fight me one-on-one! Stop hiding inside and playing dead!"

"I'm telling you, that boy is the designated successor of my Sea God lineage. If you dare to harbor any crooked intentions, see if I don't tear down your Angel God Temple and melt your pathetic Holy Sword down to use as an accessory for my Trident!"

The more he cursed, the more heated he became, his spittle nearly forming physical arrows of water. He had completely lost the dignity of a deity, looking exactly like a rough man whose favorite toy had been stolen.

Yet, no matter how he shouted, the gates of the Angel God Temple remained firmly shut, without even a hint of a response, as if the place were completely empty.

Accompanying his angry tirade, quite a few deities cast their divine senses toward the scene.

This naturally included the supreme Five God Kings of the God Realm.

There was no helping it; the God Realm was too boring—so boring that even those who had ascended not long ago, like the Sea God and the Angel God, were already thinking of running away.

Therefore, upon seeing the Sea God causing trouble for the Angel God, everyone—from God Kings to first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier gods—wanted to see how things would unfold.

To put it bluntly, no one was above enjoying a spectacle, not even a God King.

To them, as long as a fight didn't break out, it didn't matter how viciously they cursed; it wouldn't affect them or the God Realm as a whole.

"Fine, very fine!"

Seeing that his verbal assault was ineffective, Poseidon trembled with rage.

The next moment, the Trident phantom behind him slashed a massive wave toward the front.

But it was silently deflected the moment it touched the barrier of the Angel God Temple.

Seeing this, he knew that forcing his way in would not work.

Suppressing his fury, Poseidon cast his divine sense toward the mortal Sea God Island, locking precisely onto the direction of the Sea God Hall.

He was going to ask Bo Saixi exactly how she had arranged the mission!

How could she have sent someone to the Inheritance Ground of the Angel God!

On Sea God Island, in the Sea God Hall.

Bo Saixi was resting by the window, feeling the moist breath brought by the sea breeze.

Suddenly, a familiar and angry divine sense enveloped the entire hall.

Her heart skipped a beat. Not daring to be slow, she immediately stood up, quickly straightened her dress and high heels, and hurried to the center of the hall.

When she saw the gloomy, dripping-with-venom face of Poseidon in the water screen, Bo Saixi's heart jumped.

Lord Sea God's expression... what was wrong?

Could it be that he had clashed with the Angel God in the God Realm again?

But why did this rage look like it was directed at her?

Surely... he hadn't been angered by the Angel God and decided to take it out on her?

That would be too petty!

Thinking this, Bo Saixi steadied herself, bowed cautiously, and spoke in a soft, respectful voice: "Lord Sea God, do you have any instructions for me?"

Poseidon suppressed his anger, trying his best to make his voice sound steady, but the strained tone still betrayed his emotions: "Bo Saixi, I ask you, what did you tell that child, Ye Qing? How exactly was the mission arranged?"

"Ah?"

Hearing this, Bo Saixi froze. Her beautiful face was filled with bewilderment, and she answered honestly: "I... I just told him to go to Heaven Dou City to retrieve the Heart of the Sea God, and I had Sea Dragon follow him to look after his safety. What is wrong? Did... did something happen to the child?"

By the end, her voice carried a hint of worry.

Could it be that they had encountered a powerful enemy on the continent?

But Sea Dragon was a level 94 Titled Douluo; ordinary forces could not possibly harm them.

Wait...

Bo Saixi suddenly thought of something, her expression shifting slightly.

If it wasn't because they were in danger, then why was Lord Poseidon so furious? Could it be...

Had Ye Qing and the others been discovered by the people of Martial Soul Hall?

But even if they were discovered, given Qian Daoliu's temperament, he shouldn't easily make a move against the successor of the Sea God.

After all, if the successor of the Angel God were to appear on Sea God Island, she would only keep a closer watch, rather than rashly attacking.

Because neither she nor Qian Daoliu would be willing to completely sever ties with the other.

Watching Bo Saixi's look of utter confusion, Poseidon could no longer hold back.

The pent-up rage erupted like a volcano as he roared at Bo Saixi on the other side of the water curtain: "What do you mean 'what's wrong'?! The boy has run all the way to the Inheritance Ground of the Angel God! You tell me what's wrong!"

"What?!"

Bo Saixi felt as if she had been struck by lightning; she froze in place, the bewilderment on her face instantly replaced by shock.

He ran to the Inheritance Ground of the Angel God?

How is that possible?!

Weren't they supposed to go to Heaven Dou City to find the Heart of the Sea God?

How did they end up at the Core Forbidden Land of Martial Soul Hall?

How was Sea Dragon watching over them?

Bo Saixi felt a massive headache coming on.

She finally understood why Lord Poseidon was so furious.

Letting the Sea God's successor run into the Angel God's territory, and the inheritance ground at that, was simply... beyond absurd!

The most critical point was that the Angel God and the Sea God were competing for the successor.

Ye Qing was still so young; if he couldn't resist the Angel God's sugar-coated bullets and chose the Angel God's inheritance, abandoning the Sea God's, wouldn't the Sea God explode on the spot?

"Then, then Lord Poseidon, what should we do now?"

Bo Saixi lowered her head, not daring to look at the Sea God before her.

Not only that, but she also cursed Sea Dragon Douluo fiercely in her heart.

If she had known it would come to this, she would have gone out with Ye Qing herself.

"Wait! What else can we do?!"

Poseidon gritted his teeth, squeezing the words out through his teeth: "Now that he's already inside her territory, a direct snatch is out of the question; that old woman's barrier is thick as anything! We can only wait and see what kind of conditions she offers to poach him!"

Speaking of this, he took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, but the irritability in his voice remained uncontrollable: "If she dares to go too far... hmph, then we'll go head-to-head with her. If she raises the stakes, we'll raise ours! I don't believe that the heritage of my Sea God lineage can't compete with her?!"

Hearing this, Bo Saixi cautiously raised her head.

A trace of helplessness still lingered on her beautiful face, but her eyes had regained some clarity.

She pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then voiced her concerns in a low voice: "Lord Poseidon... our Sea God Island is located far overseas. In terms of resource accumulation and influence on the continent, I fear... we truly cannot compare to Martial Soul Hall, which has been passed down for ten thousand years and has deep roots. If we purely compete on the support and benefits we can provide Ye Qing, can we... really win?"

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured onto Poseidon's raging fire, causing him to cool down slightly.

But what followed was an even deeper sense of grievance and frustration.
