The Sea God Who Fights Only for Faith

Only Xiao Bai herself was happy about this; the others would not notice what exactly Sea God Poseidon was stepping on.

The battle between Poseidon and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King back then had been incredibly intense.

After all, Poseidon had not yet ascended to godhood at that time; he was merely a level 99 quasi-god.

The clash between the two had turned the entire Demonic Whale Sea Area upside down, and in the end, it was Poseidon who blinded one of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's eyes.

The defeated Deep Sea Demonic Whale King fled back into the deep sea, never daring to show his face again.

Poseidon became the de facto ruler of the ocean, consolidating the faith of the entire sea.

Later, Poseidon established the foundation of his faith on Sea God Island, eventually condensing the Sea God divine position through the power of faith and successfully ascending to godhood.

For the next hundred years, Poseidon continued to perfect the faith system of Sea God Island, and a century later, he successfully ascended to the God Realm.

The faith system of Sea God Island has remained in operation to this day.

Through the entire process of Sea God Poseidon's ascension exposed by the Sky Screen, it is evident that Sea God Poseidon possessed a very strong sense of purpose.

The original intentions of the Angel God and the Sea God were completely different.

The Angel God's original intention was to eradicate evil and protect justice; ultimately, achieving godhood through the accumulation of faith was a reward for her steadfastness.

The Sea God's original intention, however, was simply to become a god; everything he did was for the sake of gathering and maintaining faith.

There is no hierarchy of superiority or inferiority here, merely a difference in choice.

On the contrary, it is precisely because the Sea God was so goal-oriented that he was able to maintain the sustainability of his faith.

Although Martial Soul Hall is a massive power, many people only remember the name of Martial Soul Hall, yet they cannot recall that there is an Angel God behind it.

This led to a very bizarre situation: Martial Soul Hall is powerful, but the faith in the Angel God is quite scarce.

Bibi Dong certainly deserves the lion's share of the credit for this situation; after all, as the successor to the Rakshasa God, she would inevitably hinder the spread of the Angel God's faith during her tenure as the Pope of Martial Soul Hall.

Sea God Poseidon himself was quite smug about his feat of ruling the ocean and ascending to godhood by gathering the faith of the sea.

Even in the God Realm, gods who can ascend by gathering faith and hold a first-tier divine position are few and far between.

However, the images exposed by the Sky Screen made the Silver Dragon King at the Lake of Life very unhappy.

"Traitors!"

As the Sovereign of Soul Beasts, in her eyes, any sea soul beast that worships the Sea God is a traitor.

And this fellow, Sea God Poseidon, who snatched the faith of the sea soul beasts, is even more unforgivable.

But is the Sky Screen really just exposing the "glorious achievements" of Sea God Poseidon?

The answer is naturally no, and the Sky Screen immediately updated with new images.

On the screen, sea soul beasts were still locked in constant slaughter; the strife within the ocean had never ceased.

After Sea God Poseidon ascended to the God Realm, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King began to stir again, and the Demonic Whale Sea Area once more became a forbidden zone.

The screen highlighted the hunting of the Demon Soul Great White Shark by the Evil Orca King.

Xiao Bai transformed into her human form, staring fixedly at the Sky Screen, her fists clenched tightly.

The Sky Screen forced her to witness the entire process of her younger brother's death once again.

Immediately following, the screen showed Xiao Bai pleading with Bo Saixi, asking her to help exact revenge.

But Bo Saixi flatly rejected Xiao Bai's plea, citing that the time was not yet right.

Xiao Bai looked at the Sky Screen, her expression somewhat dazed; she remembered that experience, of course.

Back then, she had been very dejected, but her faith in Sea God Poseidon made her believe in Bo Saixi's words.

She believed that when the time came, Lord Sea God would surely help her take revenge.

But now, it was as if she had awakened; Bo Saixi clearly had the ability to help her take revenge, so why didn't she?

Why, even when she led the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan to diligently guard Sea God Island, did the Sea God not protect her brother, leaving him to die in the jaws of the Evil Orca King?

At this moment, Scaramouche spoke to the divine projection of Sea God Poseidon before him with a hint of sarcasm: "It seems you, this Sea God, have never done a single practical thing for this ocean."

Sea God Poseidon was, for a moment, at a loss for how to explain.

Immediately after, the Sky Screen returned to Sea God Island, where people on the island would undergo trials beneath the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island, receiving rewards upon clearing them.

This mechanism also ensured the enduring prosperity of Sea God Island.

These trial rewards did not appear out of thin air; the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island were faith collectors. The faith gathered by the pillars was, on one hand, converted into trial rewards, and on the other, ensured the longevity of the divine projection left behind by Sea God Poseidon.

In other words, Sea God Poseidon, this Sea God, not only never did anything practical for the ocean, but he also exploited the creatures of the sea to provide faith and strengthen his own base.

The people on Sea God Island were indeed loyal believers of the Sea God, capable of providing Sea God Poseidon with higher-quality faith.

Sea God Poseidon himself was not worried about the content exposed by the Sky Screen.

He knew very well that the sea soul beasts in the ocean were not very bright and could not grasp the intricacies of this; as long as his deterrent power as the Sea God remained, they would continue to worship him.

In other words, as long as his deterrent power as the Sea God remained, the faith system he had created would not collapse.

Finally, the Sky Screen continued to expose the great battle between Sea God Island and Martial Soul Hall from many years ago.

In that battle, Sea God Island held the home-field advantage, causing Martial Soul Hall to return in defeat; it was also because of that battle that Sea God Island gained the name "Devil Island" in the records of Martial Soul Hall.

In Martial Soul City, Qian Daoliu could not help but lower his head as he watched the great battle exposed on the Sky Screen.

The crushing defeat in that battle was largely due to underestimating the enemy.

The Angel God watched the content revealed on the Sky Screen, her expression remaining largely unchanged, though a hint of disappointment flickered in her eyes.

In the God Realm, she and the Sea God were acquaintances; as both were deities who had ascended to the God Realm from the Douluo Continent, the Angel God was considered a senior to the Sea God.

She did not wish to see the factions left behind by the two of them come into conflict.

Furthermore, attacking other factions for the sake of territorial expansion did not align with her principles.

Sea God Poseidon, however, was quite pleased; after all, his Sea God Island had won, and the winner taking all was the coldest rule of them all.

Scaramouche looked down upon the somewhat hypocritical Sea God Poseidon before him. Now that the matter had been settled, the rest had nothing to do with him.

He would leave it to Ouyang Kong, the Grand Sage, to engage in these hollow pleasantries; he, for one, would not be playing along.

As the images on the Sky Screen came to an end, the evaluation of Sea God Island arrived right on schedule.

[Sea God Island, established by the Sea God with a highly specific purpose, has successfully fulfilled its role, providing a steady stream of high-quality faith to the Sea God.] [As a vassal to the Sea God, Sea God Island is qualified, but it has never been a qualified manager of the ocean.] [The existence of Sea God Island is solely to provide faith and preserve the inheritance for the Sea God. As for the Sea God's protection, one should not even think about it; after all, he did not even protect his own former mount.]

Seeing the Sky Screen mention her again, Xiao Bai's expression grew even more dejected.
