What nonsense about Heaven cherishing all life—this beast's nine hundred and ninety thousand years of cultivation had not come easily...

Heh. That was not what you said when Little Wretch hunted the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!

Hearing Qian Xunyi's words, the dying Deep Sea Demonic Whale King behind Poseidon's Divine Sense immediately understood.

So Poseidon, that bastard, had been using him as a stepping stone for the new Sea God. The faint trace of complicated emotion that had just arisen was instantly engulfed by endless hatred.

"Poseidon, fuck..." The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King began spewing curses.

If he had not been severely injured and utterly unable to rise again, he would have fought the Sea God's Divine Sense to the death.

Poseidon's Divine Sense ignored the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's foul-mouthed ravings behind him and fixed Qian Xunyi with a profound gaze.

"You know quite a lot. Since everything has been laid bare, I shall speak plainly. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is an opportunity I reserved for the next Sea God. You are unworthy of it, so get lost!" Poseidon said arrogantly.

Qian Xunyi could not be bothered to speak with Poseidon's Divine Sense. He directly activated his Lin Secret Technique!

His domain spread, instantly overwhelming the Sea God Domain that came with Poseidon's Divine Sense.

His domain could even blanket the ocean as far as the eye could see, but Qian Xunyi confined it to a space spanning several thousand meters.

Poseidon's expression changed slightly.

The Sea God Domain had been crushed in an instant. Within the domain, he was unexpectedly cut off from his true body in the God Realm for the time being.

"How... is that possible?"

Though he was merely a Divine Sense, he still possessed the strength of a Level-100 God. Moreover, upon the ocean he knew so well, even newly ascended gods could gain no advantage against him. Yet despite that, his domain had been effortlessly suppressed.

"Old dog Poseidon, I know far more than that. Have you still not recognized me?"

"You dare call me an old dog? Wait, you are..." Perhaps he had stood too high for too long, for Poseidon did not recognize Qian Xunyi at first. Only after Qian Xunyi's reminder did he realize. "You are that genius from the Angel God family!"

"You only recognize me now? Isn't that a little too late?" Qian Xunyi said. "I not only know that, but I also know that the God Ancestor of my Angel Clan fell because of the schemes of you and the Asura God. You are planning to use my Spirit Hall as a sacrifice to nurture your successors."

Poseidon's gaze turned incomparably cold. "A contingency left behind by the Angel God, or... you truly do know many things. But knowing too much is not always a good thing."

Sea Element Divine Power gathered around him. His Divine Sense tried to communicate with the outside world and summon the Sea God's Trident, only to find that his Divine Sense could not pass beyond this domain.

Qian Xunyi reached forward, and violet-gold Soul Power transformed into a massive hand that seized the Sea God's Divine Sense as easily as grabbing a chick.

"Old dog Poseidon, those words are meant for the weak, and I do not fall within that category," Qian Xunyi said. "Give me time. It will not take long. Even if the Asura God comes, I will kill him all the same for you to see."

Poseidon's Divine Sense changed drastically. His divine power tried to break free from Qian Xunyi's massive Soul Power hand, but every attempt vanished like a clay ox entering the sea, completely useless.

"I also know that you have already selected the successor you intend to cultivate. His name is Tang San, correct? He comes from another world, from the Bashu Tang Sect. You intend to use a Clear Sky Sect genius as the father and the Blue Silver Emperor's immense vitality as the mother, breeding an exceptional next generation. Then you will have someone's soul possess this body, make him an enemy of my Spirit Hall, and ultimately destroy Spirit Hall. The Asura God intends for him to inherit his Godhood, while you plan to secretly steal him away. Am I right?"

"You..." Poseidon's Divine Sense had forgotten to struggle altogether, his face filled with disbelief. This was no longer something that could be explained by the Angel God's contingency.

After a long silence, Poseidon's Divine Sense said, "You do have some ability. But so what if you know these things? My true body is at the peak of a First-Level God in the God Realm, while the Asura God is one of the five God Kings of the God Realm. Fate was written the moment the Angel God fell."

"Yes, fate was written long ago—your future." Qian Xunyi sneered. "For the time being, I truly do not intend to kill you off so quickly. Soon, you will understand that the Godhood you take such pride in is nothing in my eyes. The script you wrote, I can tear apart whenever I please. In the near future, you will regret ever daring to offend me. You will hide in the shadows like rats, trembling in fear. I will take everything from you, bit by bit..."

"Arrogant—" the Sea God's Divine Sense roared furiously.

"Arrogance requires strength, and I happen to have it." As Qian Xunyi spoke, he crushed the Sea God's Divine Sense into a wisp of green smoke. "Sea God, Asura God, let us play slowly."

It was somewhat regrettable. Although Qian Xunyi now possessed the combat strength of a First-Level God, aside from methods for fighting, he still had too few other methods. Otherwise, he definitely would not have let this Sea God's Divine Sense off so easily.

But it did not matter. A monk could run, but his temple could not. Poseidon was still alive, and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future to properly deal with that old bastard.

After resolving the Sea God's Divine Sense, Qian Xunyi stood in the air and looked down upon the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. "Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, do you understand now? You are merely a dish left behind by the Sea God, meant to serve as the foundation for the next Sea God. In the future, when his successor arrives, he will take your life, claim your Soul Ring and Soul Bone, and use them to pave his path to godhood. Once he becomes a god, Poseidon will roam freely through the universe, using your foundation to elevate the Sea Godhood into a God King, thereby feeding back to the first Sea God."

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had lived for hundreds of thousands of years. He had already understood this just moments ago, and a sense of sorrow inevitably filled his heart.

Back when he had ruled the seas, Poseidon did not even know where he was. When Poseidon was born, he had been nothing more than an ant in the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's eyes. Yet in just a few centuries, Poseidon had caught up to him, eventually becoming a god and reaching a realm he could only gaze upon from afar. Now, he had become a dish—a dish reserved for Poseidon's successor.

The accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years by a Soul Beast could not compare to a human's thousand years of cultivation. To cross into the realm of a Million-Year Soul Beast, he still had to face terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, while Poseidon had already become an exalted god. How unfair was Heaven!

"So, your only way forward now is to follow me and hand over your Soul Ring and Soul Bone."

"Hmph—" The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King sneered. "Poseidon is a dog bastard, and you are no good either. In the end, are you not merely after my Soul Ring and Soul Bone? In this world, no one will obtain my Soul Ring or Soul Bone."

As he spoke, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's aura instantly became chaotic, and his body rapidly swelled.
