On the Heavenly Screen, Bo Saixi asked the young man who had inherited the Sea God's Nine Trials whether he could tell her where he came from.
Everyone in the world-no, every intelligent being-held their breath and focused at that moment, waiting for the final answer.
It was no exaggeration to say that his existence would affect the entire balance of power on the continent!
After all, he was the Sea God's heir.
Even if he did not become a god, he would remain among the strongest in the world; if he did, that would be even more incredible...
Besides those humans, this was also the first time the great Soul Beasts had paid serious attention to the future revealed by the Heavenly Screen.
Unlike the previous revelations about the Angel God's heir, which had been so obscure that there was no useful information to be had.
This time, the revelations about the Sea God's heir might expose more useful information, and perhaps that information could even help the Soul Beasts.
Thus, those powerful Soul Beasts were also paying exceptionally close attention.
"Poseidon!! I'll eat your heir! I'll put an end to your inheritance!!"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King looked at the Heavenly Screen and roared at the sky, making no effort to conceal the hatred in his heart.
Twenty thousand years ago, Poseidon had spent one thousand and one years conquering the seas to gather the power of faith and forge a divine position, becoming a god. He had forced the vast majority of Sea Soul Masters and Sea Soul Beasts to submit to him.
But the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had refused to submit and had fought back, only for Poseidon to blind him in one eye.
That was when the seeds of hatred had been planted.
Later, when that fellow Poseidon really did become the Sea God through the power of faith, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's hatred for him grew even stronger.
Why had that fellow become a god so easily, while he, who was so extraordinarily gifted, had yet to become one?
"Hmph! Poseidon, you old bastard..." The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King then looked toward the waters where Sea God Island lay, wishing he could wipe the entire island out.
Through the power of devouring, he had survived nine tribulations and attained a cultivation of nearly a million years. He had two Whale Pearls in his body and was the strongest Sea Soul Beast.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was indeed extraordinarily gifted, not because of his talent for devouring, but because of the two Whale Pearls he had formed.
Whale Pearls were comparable to the Soul Cores that would gradually emerge later in the history of Soul Master cultivation.
It was precisely because Soul Cores appeared that the strength of Titled Douluo kept rising, making high-level Titled Douluo all the more formidable.
In particular, advancing to level ninety-nine required forming another Soul Core, widening the gap in strength once again.
That was the fundamental reason for the enormous gap in combat power between Limit Douluo and those below them in the Douluo II era.
Thus, if a Soul Beast formed something similar to a Soul Core, its strength would certainly surpass that of ordinary Soul Beasts.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's two Whale Pearls could be regarded as Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores.
This was a more advanced form of Dual Soul Cores. Just look at who formed this kind of Dual Soul Cores in the original work.
Di Tian, Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong from Douluo II-that alone was enough to prove how formidable the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was.
Thus, even Bo Saixi, who possessed the power of a demigod, was no match for the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
But for the Sea God's divine power on Sea God Island, and his fear of the Sea God, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King would have dealt with the island long ago.
No, everything connected to the Sea God had to be utterly destroyed!!
Alas... Looking at her husband, whose heart was blinded by hatred, the Deep Sea Demon Whale beside him could hardly say anything.
Her cultivation was undoubtedly far weaker than her husband's.
The reason was very simple: unlike the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, who had always relied on devouring to rapidly increase his cultivation, she had never used it.
Unfortunately, hatred would utterly change her in the future.
Their daughter, the little Deep Sea Demon Whale, also nestled anxiously beside her mother, not daring to look at her father.
The waters near Sea God Island.
Unlike the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, who was furious enough to die, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Xiao Bai, was excited enough to die.
She said in great excitement, "Lord Sea God, your heir has finally appeared."
Twenty thousand years ago, she had served as the Sea God's mount, following him as he conquered in all directions and gathered faith. Naturally, she was Sea God Poseidon's most loyal believer.
Now that Lord Sea God's heir had appeared, how could she not be happy?
To be able to follow two generations of Sea Gods was an absolute honor!
The Far North, Core Circle.
A biting wind swept past glaciers that had not melted in ten thousand years, their layers rising like blades.
The presence of the King of Winter blanketed the entire snowfield. Deep within an ice cave at the heart of the Extreme North Core Circle, a pair of eyes as clear as crystal slowly opened, reflecting the scene on the Heavenly Screen.
"The Sea God's heir..."
A cool, distant voice echoed through the ice cave. It was not loud, yet it brought the wind and snow within a hundred li to a halt.
The speaker was the Snow Empress, foremost of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, a Heavenly Snow Woman with more than 680,000 years of cultivation.
First the Angel God's heir, and now the Sea God's heir. Humans really were lucky.
"Ice God, why do you not take pity on us, your people?" the Snow Empress sighed without thinking.
Where were the people of the Far North to go from here? And what path should she, the Snow Empress, take?
The Snow Empress felt deeply lost. After all, who wouldn't, after seeing two heirs to gods in succession?
That was especially true for these powerful Soul Beasts.
Star Dou Great Forest, an alternate space beneath the Lake of Life.
Di Tian looked at the Heavenly Screen and sneered, "Such lucky humans. They might as well have the food fed right into their mouths."
Indeed, Di Tian was envious.
Why could humans inherit divine positions so easily, while the path ahead for the Soul Beast Clan remained severed, no matter how strong their cultivation became?
Twenty thousand years ago, when the First Generation Sea God gathered the power of faith and finally became a god, Di Tian could be said to have sensed the whole commotion with perfect clarity.
With all the cultivation and energy he, Di Tian, had accumulated in his life, if not for the suppression of heaven and earth and those fellows in the Divine Realm, who knew how many times over he could have become a god?
And what about those humans? Becoming a god was actually so easy for them.
If it wasn't because those sanctimonious fellows in the Divine Realm were targeting them, what else could it be?
There was nothing to be done; that was the gap in their information.
From beginning to end, Di Tian believed it was because the Divine Realm was targeting them.
In reality, however, the reason the Soul Beast Clan could not become gods was the Dragon God's fault from the very beginning.
Above the alternate space, at the Lake of Life, Da Ming and Er Ming were also discussing what the Heavenly Screen had revealed.
The two of them, however, discussed it on a much shallower level.
Compared with those powerful Ferocious Beasts of great strength or distinguished origins in the ocean, the Far North and the alternate space,
Da Ming and Er Ming, though formidable in battle, ultimately had much narrower horizons.
