Chapter 21
: The False Sea God Poseidon
Tian Dou City, Xue Yue Pavilion.
"Brother Wuyou, this big whale is so pitiful... it's not even allowed to eat..."
"And that Poseidon, the sea god, is a complete villain. He actually bullied it and wouldn't let it eat. Did he want to starve this giant whale to death?"
Upon hearing the words of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, even the carefree and naive Cai Wenji couldn't help but furrow her delicate brows.
Her delicate, exquisitely beautiful face was filled with indignation. Her pair of small, white hands were clenched into fists and waved incessantly in the air. Her clear eyes were filled with sympathy for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and dissatisfaction with the Sea God Poseidon.
"Yes, yes, yes! Little Wenji is right!"
"That sea god Poseidon is a big villain."
Qin Wuyou did not explain the intricacies to Cai Wenji. A clear light flashed in his eyes, and he had long seen through the hypocrisy of the sea god Poseidon.
The so-called rules and checks and balances, and the protection of order, are nothing more than Poseidon's high-sounding excuses.
In essence, he simply saw the power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and wanted to take the opportunity to suppress and tame it, so that the ocean would completely submit to his authority.
These dark schemes and power struggles are far too complex and far too cold.
Qin Wuyou was unwilling to tell the pure-hearted Xiao Wenji, and even less did he want to disrupt her simple understanding of right and wrong.
Cai Wenji is Cai Wenji. She only needs to maintain her purity and innocence and doesn't need to pay attention to these power struggles and schemes.
In her world, right and wrong are clearly defined—the strong should not bully the weak, and survival should not be ruthlessly taken away; that's enough.
As for who has a problem?
Then let's talk to this god of divine retribution.
"That Poseidon is a real villain! He's clearly taking advantage of his god status to deliberately bully that giant whale, even though the whale did absolutely nothing wrong!"
Having gained Qin Wuyou's approval, Cai Wenji's indignation intensified. She clenched her small, fair hands even tighter and nodded fiercely.
"Xue Qinghe": ∑(O_O;)
Good heavens, that's really good heavens.
Seeing the two figures, one large and one small, oblivious to everyone else and tirelessly belittling Poseidon, Qian Renxue's eyes twitched violently, her mouth slightly open, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.
They don't even respect the sea god—
Are you two not even going to keep up the act anymore?
She then spoke—
"Brother Wuyou, Sister Wenji, be careful what you say."
"It's ultimately not a good idea to directly discuss a deity!"
The power of the gods is beyond doubt.
Even her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, a demigod, could only serve as a servant to the God of Angels.
Qian Renxue secretly pondered that the two people in front of her were very likely the girl deity mentioned by Tianmu earlier, and the god of divine punishment who was called "stingy".
Although their true strength and divine rank are unknown, Poseidon, the sea god, is an old and powerful deity with profound knowledge and influence.
She really didn't want this easy-going friend to needlessly provoke such a powerful enemy and cause unnecessary trouble because of her careless words.
"He's just a hypocrite; what's wrong with discussing him?"
"Could it be that Poseidon dares to come down from the realm of gods to cause me trouble?"
Qin Wuyou's words made Xue Qinghe's eyelids twitch.
Good heavens, even the God Realm knows this. You, Qin Wuyou, are completely disregarding the Sea God. Are you just going to lay your cards on the table and not bother to hide it anymore?

Poseidon then spoke up in rebuttal—
"Deep Sea, stop making excuses."
After Poseidon finished speaking, his face showed compassion and sorrow, but his eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent.
"Hmph! Poseidon, you're meddling way too much."
"I eat, I sleep, I cultivate myself—what right do you have to tell me what to do?"
"This sea area is my territory. I am foraging and cultivating on my own land. What business is it of yours, Poseidon?"
"Poseidon, you keep saying that I will devour all the creatures of the ocean, yet those humans and sea spirits who refuse to submit to you are hunted and killed by your followers with cruel methods. Why don't you discipline them?"
"You use me to establish your authority, yet turn a blind eye to the misdeeds of your subordinates. In the end, your so-called order is nothing but a tool to maintain your hegemony, and your so-called compassion is nothing but a self-deceiving disguise!"
"I have lived peacefully in the deep sea, never overstepping my bounds. It is you, Poseidon, who, in order to consolidate your faith in the sea god, have allowed your henchmen to slaughter those who disagree with you. You are the true scourge of this ocean!"
Don't have a bias towards them just because the Demon Soul Great White Shark King "Xiao Bai" is a great beauty after her transformation, and don't have a bias towards them just because her "Daughter Bai Xiuxiu" is the "Female Lead" from ten thousand years later.
Those who follow the sea god are no good at all. When they hunt, they always like to torture and kill sea spirit beasts. Their methods are cruel and their deeds are numerous.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King may seem terrifying, but it truly follows the law of the jungle, cultivating peacefully in its own territory. It has never crossed the boundary on its own initiative, nor has it ever committed any acts of cruelty!
From the time it was old enough to understand, it always hunted by gulping down the prey in one go, never doing anything cruel or unnecessary.
Instead of wasting time, it would be better to hunt and forage more, and focus on cultivating and improving its cultivation level.
…………
The words of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King resounded throughout the entire Douluo Star through the celestial canopy, silencing all living beings once again.
This also completely panicked those followers who usually followed Poseidon and acted in the name of the sea god, making them feel extremely uneasy.
Their hands were more or less stained with the blood of creatures that refused to submit to the sea god. Some of their hunting and killing activities were carried out under orders, while others were done to profit themselves.
They used to think that with Poseidon Island backing them up, they could do whatever they wanted without a second thought. But now that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had exposed their lies in public, they all felt cold and their eyes darted away. They didn't dare to look up at the sky, and they were even more afraid that the eyes of those around them would fall on them, fearing that they would be dragged out and punished for their past misdeeds.
Even the residents of Poseidon Island, who were devout believers in the sea god and were unaware of these secrets, were completely thrown into turmoil, and their faith began to waver.
They have always regarded Poseidon as a compassionate and supreme deity who protects the sea, and they worship him devoutly every day, firmly believing that everything the sea god does is to maintain order and peace.
But now the words of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King are like a heavy hammer, hitting them hard in the heart, making them begin to doubt whether the god they have always believed in is really as perfect as the legends say.
Do those creatures that are being hunted really deserve to die?
Is this so-called order really just a means for the sea god to consolidate his hegemony?
Questions swirled in their minds, and their once firm beliefs gradually crumbled. Many people's faces were filled with confusion and bewilderment, and the gazes they gave to the sea god in the sky no longer held the reverence of the past, but were filled with deep doubt.
The entire Poseidon Island fell into a deathly silence, with only Poseidon's icy aura in the sky and the furious roar of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King constantly assaulting everyone's mind.
These words caused a huge uproar in every corner of Douluo Star.
