"Two choices."
Lin Mo looked at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, extended his finger again, and repeated the conditions.
"Firstly, you Sacrifice to my wife, Dugu Yan."
Secondly, after I kill you, Dugu Yan will absorb your Soul Bone, and then we'll go find another Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
With your Soul Bone, it shouldn't be so difficult for Sister Yanyan to bear the Soul Ring of another Deep Sea Demonic Whale King whose cultivation is slightly inferior to yours.
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's expression turned as ugly as ever.
A fierce glint flashed in its single eye, but it was quickly suppressed.
However, at this moment, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, who were standing behind Lin Mo, also had puzzled expressions on their faces.
After Lin Mo's explanation, they roughly understood the reason for the matter.
There is more than one Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and what Lin Mo is doing now seems to be using the other Deep Sea Demonic Whale King to threaten the Deep Sea Demon Whale in front of him.
It seems there's a close relationship between them.
However, trusting Lin Mo, the two merely glanced at each other and did not immediately ask any questions.
"I have a choice?"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King closed its enormous single eye, and after a long while, slowly opened it, letting out a long sigh, "Now I only hope that you will keep your promise."
If it could, it really wanted to kill Lin Mo and the other two humans in front of it, and let them sink to the bottom of the sea forever.
Only the dead can keep secrets.
However, its numerous injuries proved that it was no match for Lin Mo.
"You don't need to look at me like that."
Lin Mo shrugged and said with a playful tone, "Don't blame me for not telling you beforehand, Soul Beast cannot become gods."
Don't tell me you can't rely on your own devouring talent to accumulate your cultivation to the level of a million years; that's something the rules forbid.
Even if you manage to break through to a million years, so what?
You don't actually think you have a place as a demon god in the human Divine Realm, do you?
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King suddenly fell silent.
It had never thought about this point in detail. The only obsession that had sustained it in its continuous cultivation over the years was to break through to a million years of cultivation and then become a god.
Only by becoming a god could it possibly carry out its Payback against the Sea God.
"As for the Sacrifice I demand of you, it is not a bad thing for you."
Lin Mo looked at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and continued, "For ordinary Soul Beast, Sacrifice is naturally equivalent to death."
But for you Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, if the Sacrifice one can become a god, or if the circumstances are special, it is not impossible to revive you in the Divine Realm in the future."
At this point, Lin Mo's tone became somewhat seductive. "Who knows, Sacrifice to the successor of the Sea God might be the greatest investment you've ever made to become the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!"
"Laugh."
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King let out a disdainful laugh, looking at Lin Mo with a Taunt expression. "That sounds nice, but you're still just fooling around, aren't you?"
How could I possibly know what happened after the Sacrifice?
At that time, will I truly be dead, or will my soul remain within my Soul Ring and Soul Bone, waiting to be revived by this little girl beside you after she becomes a god?
"Isn't that just all you guys talking?"
"That's true, words alone are not enough."
Lin Mo nodded, and the next moment, eight Soul Ring reappeared beneath his feet, with the third Ice-type Soul Ring suddenly lighting up.
Emperor Sword; Ice Extreme Wushuang!
A crystal-clear ice sword suddenly appeared in Lin Mo's hand.
Lin Mo gripped the ice sword and casually swung it into the distance, unleashing a sudden burst of Sharpness and extreme cold.
A streak of icy blue sword energy shot out horizontally, cleaving the seawater in its path.
The smooth ice wall formed by the freezing of the seawater section extended outwards for hundreds of meters before slowly collapsing.
"This is the Snow Empress's Emperor Sword? You killed the Snow Empress and made her your Soul Ring?" the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King asked in utter astonishment.
Lin Mo nodded.
The next moment, a bright white figure suddenly separated from Lin Mo's right leg; it was none other than the Heavenly Snow Woman, the Snow Empress!
She wore a white dress, her long hair was as white as snow, and her icy blue eyes swept over the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King with a slightly condescending air.
Lin Mo took in the surprised expression on the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's face. "I have also inherited a Godhood, and I am qualified to ascend to the Divine Realm in the future."
The Snow Empress recognized my talent and Sacrifice to me, becoming one of my Soul Ring.
By a stroke of luck, I acquired some supreme treasures that could help the Snow Empress reshape her body. Therefore, even though my cultivation level hadn't reached the God Level, I was still able to revive her ahead of schedule.
Snow Empress, who was standing to the side, kept a straight face and stood up for Lin Mo's statement.
She couldn't help but start complaining in her heart, and glanced at Lin Mo with her beautiful icy blue eyes.
This kid is really something, all talk and no action. He's starting to seduce that giant whale in the distance again.
What do you mean she saw Lin Mo's talent and therefore chose to invest in him, essentially Sacrifice for him?
Wasn't it because Lin Mo directly led his Charizard to the Far North, Sheer Force overwhelming her with his power, that she refused to submit?
Although Snow Empress was thinking this in her heart, what she said was in line with Lin Mo's words, comforting the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King: "I am Soul Beast like you, so there is no need for me to lie to you."
Everything Lin Mo said earlier was true.
If you Sacrifice, your soul will remain within the Soul Ring and Soul Bone. When Dugu Yan ascends to the Divine Realm, she can revive your soul from the Soul Ring.
You no longer need to be obsessed with devouring the successor of the Sea God to become a demon god; at that time, you can also achieve the position of a Beast God in a different way.
Upon hearing Snow Empress's words, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King suddenly fell silent once again.
"The forked attendant under the throne of the Sea God."
Lin Mo looked at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and suddenly asked, "What do you think of this title?"
In the future, if Sister Yanyan truly revives you in the Divine Realm, then the title of the Forked Boy under the Sea God will be your honorific title.
Hearing Lin Mo's words, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King rolled its eyes at Lin Mo again.
Without further hesitation, it shifted its gaze to Dugu Yan, lingering for a moment on the Sea God Trident in her hand, before slowly speaking:
"I can Sacrifice to you, but your companions must agree to my request: after taking my Soul Ring and Soul Bone, they must not investigate the whereabouts of my wife and daughters!"
Your companions are also not allowed to lay a hand on them!
They were all inferior to me, and unaware of my actions. All the evil was my doing, and I will bear the consequences.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan subconsciously glanced at Lin Mo beside her, and Lin Mo nodded.
After giving an affirmative answer, Dugu Yan looked at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and slowly said, "Alright, I agree to your conditions."
As the future Sea God, I agree to your conditions and will never break my promise or oath!
"Let's go then!"
After letting out a roar, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King spoke resolutely.
Now that things have come to this, it no longer expects the generous terms Lin Mo had previously promised it.
What future will revive within the Divine Realm?
What makes Beast God unprecedented in history?
None of these things matter to it.
Nowadays, it's like fish on a chopping board, at anyone's mercy.
As long as his wife and daughters are not implicated, everything is negotiable.
Soon, the familiar crimson light rekindled on the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
Sacrifice —a scene that can only be created by the Sacrifice Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!
A rich, crimson light burst forth from the massive body of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, dyeing the entire sea area with a magnificent hue.
The body of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King began to gradually become brighter, as if something was being peeled away from its body bit by bit.
Dugu Yan watched this scene with a pounding heart.
This wasn't the first time she'd witnessed this scene, but unlike the previous times, this time she was the one Sacrifice, receiving the Sacrifice from the Soul Beast.
Moreover, the Soul Beast Sacrifice was a top-tier existence like the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, whose cultivation level was at the 990,000-year level.
Within this special magnetic field, which can only be created by the Sacrifice Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the magnetic field created by the Sacrifice the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, whose cultivation was close to one million years old, was so strong that even Snow Empress and Ye Lingling had lost their ability to move.
Only Lin Mo was able to walk freely within it, without any constraints.
Lin Mo, Snow Empress, and Ye Lingling stayed by Dugu Yan's side without leaving her for a moment, fearing that something might happen to her during the Sacrifice.
This is also the main reason why Lin Mo insisted on bringing Ye Lingling along.
With Ye Lingling as her great healer, even if Dugu Yan encounters some unavoidable situation during the process of absorbing the Soul Ring, Ye Lingling can still come to her rescue.
Time passed little by little.
Lin Mo's gaze never left Dugu Yan.
Not long after, Dugu Yan suddenly opened her eyes.
A glint of light flashed in her emerald eyes, followed by a surge of immense Soul Power erupting from her body.
Nine Soul Ring lit up one by one beneath his feet: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, red, red.
Two yellow, two purple, three black, and two red—nine Soul Ring Transcendence the optimal Soul Ring ratio—appeared beneath Dugu Yan's feet.
The two red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring were particularly eye-catching, one of which had nine golden patterns all over it, which was the Soul Ring formed from the 990,000 years of cultivation of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
" Level 97 already? Looking at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's Soul Ring and Soul Bone, it's quite fitting for your status as the successor of the Sea God."
"This perfectly matched Soul Ring and Soul Bone will directly allow your cultivation to Transcendence Sister Lingling's." Lin Mo said with a smile after sensing Dugu Yan's current cultivation level and condition.
"Indeed, it is extremely powerful."
After closing her eyes and sensing for a moment, Dugu Yan slowly said, "Moreover, my six Soul Bone are already..."
I could clearly perceive that the sense of separation between the Soul Bone Soul Bone disappeared, replaced by a sense of seamless unity.
The power of the six Soul Bone is no longer independent, but has been integrated into a whole.
If they were originally just small streams, now, after acquiring six Soul Bone, these streams have converged into a river, flowing endlessly within her body.
It granted her even greater power.
Hearing Dugu Yan's words, Lin Mo smiled, but did not reveal the reason behind them.
The prototype of Divine Armor!
This is the fundamental reason why Dugu Yan sensed this natural and innate feeling in the Soul Bone within her body.
The six Soul Bone she has absorbed so far will all become part of her Sea God Divine Armor in the future.
At this point, Dugu Yan subconsciously looked around, only to find nothing there.
"Where is the corpse of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King? A-Mo, have you collected it?"
"Um."
Lin Mo nodded. "I'll put it away for now. Although it lost its Soul Ring and Soul Bone, its corpse is still an unprecedented treasure, after all, it had a cultivation of 990,000 years in its lifetime."
Its Whale Rubber, or rather whale brain, is probably the most powerful Whale Rubber in the history of the Douluo Continent.
It will be very beneficial to your cultivation level, so you should put it away.
"Leaving it here would be a complete waste; it would turn into whale fall and nourish the ocean."
"It's so convenient to use Charizard's space as storage."
Dugu Yan sighed, "Otherwise, given the enormous size of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's corpse, few Storage Soul Tool could possibly fit it inside, right?"
"Next, I need to cultivate diligently. After inheriting the Sea God Godhood, I will fulfill my promise to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and revive it in the Divine Realm."
"So Sister Yanyan, are you going back to Sea God Island now to start the Sea God's Nine Trials?" Lin Mo asked, looking at Dugu Yan.
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Dugu Yan shook her head. "I'd rather not. Anyway, I have a full five years to prepare for the Eighth Trial."
Tang Chen and Senior Bo Saixi finally had a little bit of tender time together, so let's give them a little more.
Before that, I should try my best to improve my cultivation level further. I'll attempt to inherit the Sea God Godhood after I reach Level 99.
At this point, Dugu Yan fell silent again.
She knew very well that if she went directly to Sea God Island to inherit the Sea God Godhood, the moment the ninth Ninth Trial the Nine Trials of Sea God's Nine Trials began would be the moment Bo Saixi died.
This made Dugu Yan feel somewhat reluctant.
Anyway, it won't make a difference if she becomes a god in a few more years, so she might as well give Bo Saixi and Tang Chen more time alone.
And taking advantage of this time, she was able to further improve her cultivation level.
"In that case, let's move on to the next location."
Lin Mo stretched, making a smacking sound, then shifted his gaze to the solitary Snow Empress standing to the side.
" Xue'er, I'll trouble you to lead the way from here. We're going to the Sea Princess's territory to meet that Sea Princess who has over six hundred thousand years of cultivation!"
At this point, Lin Mo's eyes narrowed. "I've been looking forward to my Ninth Soul Ring for a long time!"
