The Sky Screen Ruled Sea God Island Beneath Notice! Mere Wayside Trash! What Land Favored by the Sea God?

"High Priestess! Those mouse-hearted mortals on land dare not step forward because they have guilty consciences!"

"But what does Sea God Island have to fear?! The Sky Screen only ranks continents made of clumps of dirt-that in itself defies heaven!

"As long as we appeal, the plane will surely admit its mistake and correct it on the spot!"

"As for Heavenly Tribulation and divine punishment... those are merely threats to frighten mortal fools!

"Standing behind us is Lord Sea God, a true chief god who rules all seas and ascended to the Divine Realm! How would the Heavenly Dao dare unleash thunder upon this land favored by our Sea God?!"

The words of several Sacred Pillar Guardians echoed before the hall, each striking the pride buried deep within Bo Saixi's heart.

Indeed...

The sects and orders on land had hidden away and watched from the sidelines!

That was because the likes of Xue Ye were mere roughnecks confined to a single territory, clutching their scraps of blessings and fretting over losing them.

But she, Bo Saixi, was different.

She had devoted her entire life to this plane's true sovereign, the supreme true god who commanded the boundless seas-Sea God Poseidon!

Even a mere Outer Sea Desolate Island and a Mortal Kingdom dabbling in clever contrivances could rank near the top!

Yet Sea God Island, which possessed a god's legacy and ruled the vast ocean, had been treated as nothing!

If they did not contest such an absurd judgment, what would remain of the Sea God Lineage's ten-thousand-year prestige?!

Bo Saixi slowly turned around.

Upon that transcendently beautiful face, which should have remained as still and unruffled as an abyss.

All hesitation vanished, leaving only the supreme majesty and resolve of one favored by a god.

She slammed the Golden Scepter in her hand against the ground!

Thud-!

Like a great bell tolling in the deep sea, heavy ripples swept outward along the ground in every direction.

The vast soul power of a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo resonated explosively with the oceanic water essence that Sea God Island had accumulated over ten thousand years!

Rumble-!

Hundred-zhang waves surged across the entire sea!

Upon Sea God Mountain, seven dazzling Blue Light Pillars shot upward from the great Sacred Pillars!

They pierced the heavens, transformed high above the churning sea of clouds, and condensed into the towering phantom of a Sea God Trident ten thousand zhang tall!

Bo Saixi parted her red lips. Her cold, majestic voice carried an immense divine sense through the fierce winds, striking straight at the heart of the Sky Screen high above:

"Endless Ocean Divine Attendant and Sea God High Priestess Bo Saixi hereby formally appeals to the Sky Screen on behalf of the land favored by the Sea God-!"

"A divine sage arose within the Douluo Plane! Lord Sea God commands countless sea soul beasts and hundreds of millions of sea folk. He established his path ten thousand years ago, his achievements rivaling creation itself!

"Sea God Island enjoys the Sea God's favor and stands as the Azure Sea Sacred Land. It deserves a place on the Continent Ranking!"

"In compiling the Continent Ranking, the Sky Screen cast aside the Sea God Sacred Land, yet elevated Longcang, where aberrant beings run rampant and people wallow in firearms and external tools, to the highest position!"

"On behalf of the Sea God Lineage, I declare my profound objection!"

"I ask the Heavenly Dao Will to judge according to the facts, thoroughly investigate the ranking's omissions, and restore the Sea God's rightful honor!! Restore a clear and just world to Sea God Island!"

Hum-!

With the infusion of Bo Saixi's divine sense, the blue-gold heavenly pillar condensed from the Seven Sacred Pillars' laws shot skyward!

Like a rainbow piercing the sun, it crashed into the very center of the purple-gold Sky Screen!

In an instant, a glaring global announcement refreshed in the center of every living being's Sky Screen interface throughout the Douluo Plane:

[Ding! Whole-Plane Appeal Channel activated!]

[Appellant: Endless Ocean · Sea God Island (Divine Favored Faction)!]

[Subject of appeal: continental comprehensive strength ranking No. 1 and the fairness of the entire ranking!]

[Requested remedy: challenge Longcang's ranking; demand that the Sky Screen correct the ranking, reestablish Sea God Island's sacred standing, and grant "tenfold heavenly dao compensation"!]

[Heavenly Dao reassessment initiated! Initial ruling response... calculating and generating!]

The moment this global announcement appeared, the entire Douluo Plane's chat interface fell silent for three seconds, then erupted!

Sea God Island!

That god-favored land which had stood isolated overseas for tens of thousands of years, an immortal paradise and sacred soil in the legends of the continent's soul masters!

At this critical moment, it had actually dared to submit an appeal to the Sky Screen!

On the Douluo Continent, inside the Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu had just wiped the blood from his beard. When he saw that line of golden text on the Sky Screen, his eyes nearly bulged out:

"Has Bo Saixi gone mad?! She... she actually dared to submit an appeal?!"

Inside the Papal Hall in Spirit City, Pope Bibi Dong rubbed her eyes, a gloating smile tugging at her lips:

"Sea God Island actually became the bird that sticks its head out first... good! Wonderful!

"If they win, the whole continent benefits. If they lose, it's Sea God Island's fortune that gets struck! What kind souls!!"

Everyone in Douluo feared the indescribable power behind the Sky Screen, yet deep within their hearts, a faint delight at the coming spectacle arose!

Longcang's blow had just shattered their faith in their own path, and every great sect on the Douluo Continent had tucked its tail between its legs and played dead!

Now Sea God Island had jumped out to confront it head-on, relying on a true god's protection. Whatever happened, those seafaring charlatans were now the ones roasting over the fire!

Meanwhile, deep within the boundless ocean, in the Purple-Gold Hall of the Longcang Imperial Capital.

"Pfft-cough, cough! Hahahahaha!"

Inside the hall, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King doubled over with laughter the moment he finished reading the appeal on the Sky Screen.

"Good heavens! I'm laughing so hard, this eye that's been blind for twenty thousand years might start seeing again!"

"That bitch Bo Saixi... she actually dared to appeal?!"

The Demon Whale King clutched his stomach, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes as he pointed at the Sky Screen and cursed:

"Questioning Longcang's rightful first place? Saying the land favored by the Sea God should stand supreme?!"

"Has drinking seawater on Sea God Mountain rotted her brain?! Poseidon is a second-rate deity who ascended through sneaking and scheming with the power of faith!

"He blinded one of my eyes with a dirty trick back then and crowned himself Sea God. Do they really think they're masters of the universe?!"

The Golden Crocodile King folded his arms, rubbed his gleaming bald head, and laughed so broadly that even his back teeth showed:

"Your Majesty, I've lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and I've never seen anyone so eager to shove their neck beneath the executioner's blade!"

"What did the Sky Screen say earlier?... They'll be struck with devastating divine punishment!"

Upon the Dragon Throne.

Ye Canghai gazed through the void at Bo Saixi atop Sea God Mountain, brimming with confidence and convinced she was speaking for justice. A faint, mocking smile curled his lips:

"Tenfold Heavenly Dao rewards... a greedy snake trying to swallow an elephant."

Ye Canghai gently set down his teacup and spoke calmly:

"Heavenly Dao, grant their wish."

"Give them the first round's answer... I want to see!

"After that first slap lands, will they still dare grit their teeth and demand that conclusive-evidence replay that will 'bring down divine punishment'?"

Rumble-!

High above, the purple-gold Sky Screen's Great Dao laws churned rapidly!

Meanwhile, atop Sea God Mountain.

The sea wind whipped Bo Saixi's high priestess robes into a wild, snapping dance.

"High Priestess, the Sky Screen is performing its calculations!"

Beside her, Sea Dragon Douluo's eyes shone. He held his head high and puffed out his chest, his face blazing with the certainty of victory:

"Lord Sea God's divine might has endured through endless ages. In this first review, the Heavenly Dao must bow to our Sea God Sacred Land and admit its mistake!"

Sea Horse Douluo, Sea Witch, and the other guardians likewise wore solemn expressions, their eyes filled with confidence in victory.

In their understanding and faith, the Sea God was a chief god who had transcended mortality and ascended to the Divine Realm.

Even if the lower realm's continents possessed a few ingenious external tools, how could those shake a god in the slightest?

That tenfold Heavenly Dao compensation rightfully belonged in the Sea God Sacred Land's coffers!

Hum-!

Just as the entire plane held its breath, the purple-gold radiance high above abruptly ceased churning.

And that ten-thousand-zhang phantom Sea God Trident suspended above the clouds, upon which so many gods of the Douluo Plane had pinned their hopes.

It failed to resonate with the Great Dao of heaven and earth. Instead, it seemed to strike an invisible wall of bronze and iron, letting out a sharp, mournful cry!

The ripples of laws spreading from the Sky Screen's center instantly shattered it into blue-gold fragments that filled the sky!

Then a vast, icy voice of the Great Dao rolled down from the heavens like the tolling of mighty bells:

[Following reassessment by the plane will: the original ruling of the Douluo Plane's Continental Comprehensive Strength Ranking is fair, rigorous, and entirely accurate!]

[Sea God Island is negligible in scale, deficient in foundations, and mired in complacency. In the continental comprehensive strength ranking, it is-beneath notice.]

[This so-called god-favored sacred land is merely a speck in the ocean, wayside trash, unworthy of inclusion in the continent-wide assessment.

The original ranking contains no errors or omissions. The original ruling stands. Appeal dismissed immediately!]

[The initial reassessment announces only the verdict. No reasons will be provided.]

[Should the appellant still doubt this result and insist on initiating a conclusive-evidence replay... the Sky Screen will upgrade!

However, if the replay concludes that the appellant is indeed arrogantly overestimating itself and making unreasonable demands, the plane's divine punishment will descend immediately!

Sea God Island will be stripped of a hundred years of fortune on the spot, and its leader will suffer a devastating heavenly tribulation!]

[Reassessment results announced to all continents!]

Silence.

At that moment, it seemed even the sounds of wind, waves, and heartbeats had been forcibly stripped from the entire Douluo Plane!

No reasons.

Nor was there any clash of the Great Dao between the Sky Screen and the Sea God's will, as everyone had imagined!

There were only those dismissive words, delivered from on high as though they were ants-[Beneath notice]!

And that verdict laid bare upon the heavens, enough to grind ten thousand years of divine prestige into the mud-

[A speck in the ocean, wayside trash]!

Atop Sea God Mountain.

Crack!

A sharp sound came from Bo Saixi's palm.

That Golden Scepter, forged entirely from deep sea divine gold and symbolizing supreme divine authority.

Under the pressure of Bo Saixi's uncontrolled divine sense, a visible crack had actually been squeezed into it!

Bo Saixi stood rigidly, as though turned to stone.

Her exquisitely beautiful face, which should have been cold, aloof, and lofty, was now deathly pale, without a trace of color.

Deep within those eyes as clear as the ocean, there was no fury, not even horror!

Only a complete blank!

And the violent ringing in her ears after a vicious slap to the face!

Beneath... notice?!

Wayside trash?!

The Sea God's sacred soil, to which she had devoted her entire life and bowed in worship all her life...

The god-favored land she took such pride in, from which she regarded the billions of lives on land as worthless grass...

In the Sky Screen's eyes, it did not even deserve to be brought up for discussion?!
