Indeed, one would stop at nothing for one's own goals.

Though that was shameful, there was nothing much to condemn about it.

After all, the Sea God had dealt with the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King as a soul beast, not as a human.

But that did not stop Lin Yu from feeling displeased with the Sea God.

For no other reason than that he had passed down his divine position to Tang San.

And Bo Saixi had just tried to morally blackmail Lin Yu with the false words supposedly spoken by that hypocritical Sea God, which made Lin Yu even more unhappy.

Lin Yu sneered. "Bo Saixi, I know you. You're the Sea God's priestess. I've actually always been curious—since you keep calling the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King an evil beast, why don't you tell me exactly how it's evil? Go on, tell me!"

This human brat...

In the Live Stream Room, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King could hardly believe Lin Yu's response to Bo Saixi.

When Bo Saixi had spoken earlier, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's heart had sunk somewhat.

Although it had never really done anything bad and had not even left its Demonic Whale Sea Area, thanks to Sea God Island's propaganda, its reputation in both the Endless Sea and the human world was utterly foul.

Originally, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had assumed that after Bo Saixi spoke up again to spread its evil reputation—

Lin Yu would surely see it as an incomparably evil soul beast and refuse to trade with it.

As for what would happen to the deal afterward, it had no idea.

It had never expected this human brat named Lin Yu to speak up for it!

Meanwhile, on Sea God Island

When Bo Saixi saw Lin Yu's reply, she was momentarily at a loss for words.

Because she seemed unable to answer what evil deeds the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had actually committed.

She remembered the great Sea God saying that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was an incomparably evil butcher who loved rampaging about and slaughtering Sea Soul Beasts, intending to devour all life in the Endless Sea.

But that was not a specific incident. She could not give an example!

After thinking for a long time, Bo Saixi gritted her teeth and replied, "It... it once attacked Sea God Island and stole the foundation stone of Sea God Island!"

Sea God Island? What kind of faction was that?

When Bo Saixi mentioned that she was from Sea God Island, many people from various factions could not help feeling puzzled.

From the conversation just now, it was clear that Bo Saixi—or rather, Sea God Island, where Bo Saixi belonged—had a deep grudge against the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

And the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was a terrifying soul beast at the nine-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year level. Sea God Island should be extraordinarily remarkable as well.

Otherwise, it would have long since been destroyed by the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!

After all, it was called Sea God Island. Since its name contained the word "island," it should be out at sea.

That was precisely the home ground of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, a Sea Soul Beast.

Still, it was not as though nobody knew of Sea God Island.

For instance, Spirit Hall, where Qian Daoliu was, and the Clear Sky Sect knew about it.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's records had mentioned it as well.

Lin Yu sneered. "That doesn't count. Sea God Island has a grudge against the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, so isn't it perfectly normal for it to seek revenge against you? If you say it's evil, then give some examples! Has it ever slaughtered all the Sea Soul Beasts in an entire sea region? Or attacked our human port cities? Go on, say it!"

Because of Tang San, Lin Yu had already held a poor opinion of Sea God Island.

And Bo Saixi had just insisted on morally blackmailing him, so Lin Yu was going to take this opportunity to thoroughly ask about a doubt he had carried for many years after finishing Douluo Continent in his previous life: just where was the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King evil?

But on Sea God Island, Bo Saixi was completely unable to answer Lin Yu's second interrogation.

Because even Xiao Bai, the king of the Great White Shark Clan that had once served as the Sea God's mount and now guarded Sea God Island, had to admit it.

Other than attacking Sea God Island once, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had never left its Demonic Whale Sea Area from beginning to end.

And since it had always remained within its own territory, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King naturally had never slaughtered soul beasts from other sea regions or attacked human port cities.

However, seeing a genius like Lin Yu, who clearly possessed boundless prospects, speaking up for the evil Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, Bo Saixi could not simply stand by and watch Lin Yu fall into depravity.

Bo Saixi took a deep breath. "The Sea God said that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is an incomparably evil soul beast that enjoys wantonly slaughtering other Sea Soul Beasts. If it successfully advances to a million-year cultivation and transforms into a dragon, it will surely devour all life in the world in the future. The Sea God cannot possibly be wrong. Child, you are human—you cannot defend an evil soul beast!"

Seeing Bo Saixi's words, Lin Yu felt even more disgusted by her moral blackmail.

And her excuse almost made Lin Yu laugh his teeth out.

Devour all life in the world, then starve itself to death?

Anyone who had received even the slightest bit of compulsory education would not say something so thoughtless!

Oh! No, this was Douluo Continent, an ancient world.

Even Bo Saixi probably had not read much, so it was normal for her to speak without thinking!

Lin Yu mocked, "Say, Bo Saixi, can you use your brain before speaking? The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King will devour all life in the world in the future, and then what? Starve itself to death? Don't be ridiculous! Leaving everything else aside, there's already no one in the Endless Sea who can defeat the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. If it were really as evil as you claim, it would have gone around wantonly slaughtering all kinds of Sea Soul Beasts long ago. Why is it still staying in the Demonic Whale Sea Area now? The brainless nonsense from Sea God Island can only fool idiots!"

At this moment, the Live Stream Room contained not only soul masters from the continent, but Sea Soul Masters as well.

When they saw Lin Yu's words, many Sea Soul Masters could not help but begin to question things.

That was right! Though they had always heard that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was an extremely evil soul beast—

It had remained in the Demonic Whale Sea Area all this time and had never come out.

If the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King truly was, as Sea God Island claimed, a butcher who loved wantonly slaughtering other soul beasts and living creatures, who loved devouring all life—

Now that there was no longer a Sea God in this world, why had the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King not gone around wantonly slaughtering everything?

At the same time, within the Demonic Whale Sea Area

Watching Lin Yu argue relentlessly and angrily rebuke Bo Saixi, clearing away the false evil reputation it had borne for countless years, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King immediately developed a favorable impression of Lin Yu and felt immense admiration and satisfaction.

Demon Lord sneered. "@Lin Yu, human brat, stop talking. She can't give you an answer. She's Poseidon's priestess and has long since been brainwashed by that guy. Though I am indeed enormous and fierce-looking, and I do look rather evil, I admit that I eat a lot. But I have never done something like wantonly slaughtering Sea Soul Beasts. The reason is simple: I eat too much. If I were to wantonly slaughter Sea Soul Beasts, especially those around me, causing them to migrate away or go extinct, then wouldn't I be starving myself to death, just as you said? In truth, what I eat most are Han Hai Phosphorescent Shrimp, soul beasts that are abundant and reproduce extremely quickly. I only occasionally change my diet. But I have always operated within my territory, the Demonic Whale Sea Area. Soul beasts with intelligence and over Ten-Thousand Year Cultivation simply dare not enter my territory, so I only eat Sea Soul Beasts below ten thousand years old once in a while to change my diet. As for attacking passing human fishing boats, that was only to defend my territory and prevent those human fishing boats from taking all my food from within it. Besides, with my strength, destroying the fishing boats and killing the people aboard would be far too easy. Yet every time, I only destroyed the boats and did not kill anyone. I believe you humans can understand that yourselves if you think about it. Of course, some people surely died when I destroyed their boats, but that was because their martial souls were not Sea Soul Beasts and they drowned. That has nothing to do with me. In any case, I hereby declare that I have never wantonly slaughtered Sea Soul Beasts. Those were all slanders fabricated by that hypocritical and hateful Poseidon for the sake of becoming a god!"

By the end, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King could not help growing somewhat furious.
