Background / History

Conquest of the Seas

Before becoming a god, Poseidon subdued the Soul Beasts in the waters surrounding the Douluo Continent and gathered their faith. He sought additional followers because greater faith would strengthen the Divine Position he hoped to forge. His ambitions extended to conquering all of Douluo Star’s seas and attaining God King rank 12 37 39.

His expansion brought him to the drifting Northern Underworld Continent. There, he discovered an empire where humans and Soul Beasts lived peacefully together, with advanced Soul Tool technology and numerous powerful Soul Beasts. Confident in his demigod strength, he declared his intention to conquer it 12 39.

Defeat by Bei Mingyuan

Bei Mingyuan confronted Poseidon with the Divine-Level Kunpeng Martial Soul. Its fish form suppressed Poseidon’s Martial Soul and shattered his soul skills; its transformation into a giant bird overwhelmed him and broke his trident. A subsequent strike directly shattered his divine soul core 12 39.

Poseidon escaped using ocean power and spent approximately a thousand years recovering. After ascending to the Divine Realm, he found that divine rules prevented him from freely descending for revenge. He also lost track of the continent’s location 12 39.

He reported the mysterious being beneath the continent to the God Kings, but their investigation found no trace of it. Later, he warned Bo Saixi not to provoke anyone possessing the ancient Kunpeng Martial Soul 16 38.

Return of the Northern Underworld Continent

When the Sky Screen connected the continents, Poseidon instructed Sea God Island to observe events and avoid interfering with the Northern Underworld Empire. Bo Saixi detected what seemed to be fear in his message 9.

Bei Mingyuan subsequently crushed Poseidon’s spying gaze. The Sea God statue collapsed, the Sea God’s Light vanished, and the island’s connection to its deity was severed. The seven Sacred Pillars also lost their power 12 15.

Watching the invasion from the Divine Realm, Poseidon initially raged at the empire’s attack on his territory and its protection of dragons. A warning from Bei Mingyuan frightened him into looking away. He nevertheless expected the Five God Kings to defeat the empire 37.

Possession of Bo Saixi

At the God Realm Committee, Poseidon recounted his earlier defeat. Asura then directed him to use Sea God Island to probe the enemy’s strength. Reluctantly, Poseidon projected divine consciousness into Bo Saixi, supplied a replica of his trident, and intercepted Bei Miao’s attack on her 38 39 40.

Through Bo Saixi, Poseidon attacked Bei Miao and the Northern Underworld fleet with lethal water droplets. Bei Miao stopped and reversed them, forcing Poseidon to summon a Sea God Phantom. When additional armored fighters arrived, Poseidon sent down his true divine Sea God Trident and increased his possession power with Asura’s authorization 41 44.

Bei Mingyuan’s arrival overturned the battle. Poseidon failed to interrupt the five elemental armors’ fusion into Emperor Armor and was immobilized by its pressure 44.

Exposure and Near-Fatal Injury

Following the God Kings’ instructions to test Bei Mingyuan, Poseidon forced Bo Saixi’s body to wield power beyond its limits. He dismissed her injuries and declared that her life belonged to him. The live broadcast shocked Sea Dragon and Sea Spear Douluo, undermining their faith in him 45.

Poseidon threatened Bei Mingyuan with divine law and the Five God Kings. Bei Mingyuan instead used spatial power to pin Poseidon’s true body to the ground in the Divine Realm, then ravaged it with Space Strangulation 45 46.

Destruction suppressed the spatial attack while Life healed Poseidon’s external wounds, saving his life. His divine soul and divine ring remained severely damaged. Bo Saixi was freed from his control but left near death by the power he had forced into her 46.

Personality

Poseidon is ambitious and territorial. Even after conquering Douluo’s surrounding seas, he sought more followers and a stronger Divine Position. He treats the Northern Underworld Empire’s invasion as an affront to his authority, despite having attempted to conquer it first 12 37 39.

His confidence repeatedly gives way to fear before Bei Mingyuan. He breaks into a cold sweat after receiving a warning and reluctantly admits his humiliating defeat to the assembled gods. His arrogance returns when he believes the God Kings will protect him 37 39 46.

Poseidon regards his followers as expendable instruments. He accepts the sacrifice of Bo Saixi without hesitation, claims ownership of her life, and prioritizes his survival over hers. This conduct destroys the benevolent image his priesthood had held of him 45 46.

Notable Quotes

“Surely I wouldn't make up such a disgraceful story just to belittle myself?” 39

Trivia

• The ancient confrontation is dated inconsistently: Bei Mingxue places it twenty thousand years earlier, while Poseidon and later accounts describe it as ten thousand years earlier 15 37 45.
• Poseidon’s threats appear on the Sky Screen even while he remains in the Divine Realm. The display of his inner thoughts helps convince the gods that the screen itself is a major threat 42.
