: The Faith in the Sea God Shakes

Spirit world.

Inside a large, light blue hall.

Poseidon suddenly opened his eyes.

He then spoke—

"Um???"

"How could the power of faith have wavered?"

Poseidon was puzzled and confused.

He's not that stingy woman, Rakshasa.

For those who believe in him, he will generally subject them to various tests, and he will also occasionally send divine oracle to Poseidon, the high priest.

Logically speaking, his faith should not be wavering.

But now his faith has wavered.

And it's not just a slight wavering.

"Could something have happened in Douluo Continent?"

Without hesitation, Poseidon directly issued a divine decree to Poseidon of Douluo Continent.

"Um???"

"How could my connection with Douluo Continent be severed by a strange force?"

Poseidon's face instantly darkened.

He channeled his divine power to the fullest, attempting to forcefully penetrate that invisible barrier, but no matter how much he exerted his divine power, the barrier remained unbreakable.

Unconvinced, Poseidon left his temple.

When he arrived in the starry sky, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

"Oh no, something's wrong with Douluo Star!"

The Douluo Star now seems to be shrouded in some kind of energy, making it impossible to see what is happening inside, and it is impossible to contact any believers or draw even a trace of faith power.

"We need to go back and report to the Divine Realm Committee immediately..."

Without a second thought, Poseidon turned and left.

He originally wanted to use his strength as a first-level god to investigate, but the mysterious energy enveloping Douluo Star emitted an aura that made him feel uneasy.

…………

Douluo Star.

The video on the screen is still playing.

Upon hearing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's accusations, Poseidon remained expressionless, as if watching an insignificant farce.

He then spoke—

"Deep Sea, I understand what you've been saying."

"I will restrain them and prohibit this cruel behavior."

"But you are different, Deep Sea. Your strength is too great. I cannot leave you alone."

"Once I ascend to the realm of gods, no living being in the entire ocean will be able to contend with you."

"For the sake of order in the seas, you must submit to me today and offer your faith."

Poseidon's voice was calm and even, yet carried an undeniable authority, as if he were pronouncing the fate of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, leaving no room for maneuver.

"Poseidon, you're talking bullshit!"

"I have said that I was born from the sea, and in this world, only the sea can judge me. Even if you, Poseidon, become a god, you are not qualified to judge me!"

"Poseidon, you conquered the sea by force, making the creatures of the sea submit to you and offer their faith to you, but only to obtain the power of faith to help you become a god."

"Stop pretending to be a guardian of maritime order; you're not worthy!"

The massive body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King surged with towering waves, its scarlet vertical pupils fixed on Poseidon. Its tone was full of arrogance and mockery, each word like a knife, stabbing Poseidon in his sore spot.

It spoke—

"Poseidon, don't think I don't know. When you chose to spread your faith, your first choice wasn't the ocean that gave you birth and nurtured you, but the Douluo Continent!"

"Under the guise of protecting all living beings, you are spreading your faith across the continent, attempting to harvest the faith power of billions of beings to help you quickly ascend to godhood!"

"But despite all your careful planning, you never expected to encounter the founder of the Spirit Hall on the continent, the ancestor of the Angel race, who had already achieved the status of an Angel God!"

"You have engaged in a fierce struggle for the faith of the continent."

"But what was the result?"

"You are no match for the God of Angels."

"Having suffered a crushing defeat in that battle for faith, they could only slink back to the sea in disgrace, and then turn their attention to the very sea that gave them birth and nurtured them!"

"You conquered the creatures of the sea and forced them to offer their faith only because you were rebuffed on the mainland and had no choice but to settle for second best!"

"Now that you've attained godhood through the power of faith in the ocean, you turn around and accuse me of threatening the order of the ocean?"

"Poseidon, you are a complete hypocrite!"

The words of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King were like thunderclaps, exploding under the sky and instantly overturning the understanding of the Sea God by countless beings on Douluo Star.

…………

Douluo Continent.

Wuhun City, Hall of Offerings.

Qian Daoliu looked at the scene in the sky, a knowing glint in his eyes, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"So that's how it is. I never imagined that our ancestor had such a grudge against the sea god."

"Poseidon, the god of the sea?"

"What a hypocritical scoundrel..."

When Qian Daoliu mocked Poseidon, the other worshippers did not refute him. Instead, they all nodded in agreement, their eyes full of disdain and contempt.

They began to speak—

"The High Priest (elder brother) is right, the Angel God we worship is the greatest being..."

They worship the God of Angels.

As for Poseidon, the god of the sea, that's none of their business.

They were nothing more than defeated opponents of the God of Angels.

It's just a roadside stall.

The words of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King undoubtedly unveiled a long-buried past, allowing them to see the true face of the Sea God.

What they despise most are these hypocrites who use the banner of justice to do selfish and self-serving things.

Having failed to gain faith on the continent, Poseidon turned to enslaving the creatures of the sea.

Now, under the guise of maintaining order, they are forcing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to submit and offer his faith.

Such behavior is utterly despicable.

"Our ancestors were able to defeat him back then, which means they must have seen through his true nature."

"The Angel God, who wields light and protects the order of the continent, will not tolerate such a clown's rampant behavior!"

"Losing is losing. Hiding back in the sea and pretending to be some high and mighty god is ridiculous!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo snorted coldly, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

"Second brother is right."

Qingluan Douluo nodded, his gaze falling on Poseidon's gloomy face in the sky, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

He then spoke—

"Did Poseidon become a god and think that by controlling the ocean he could rule the world?"

"Now that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King has exposed his hypocrisy in front of the entire world, let's see how he'll still have the face to call himself the Sea God!"

"This kind of hypocrite is truly despicable."

"The so-called maritime order is nothing more than a tool for him to satisfy his personal desires. Such a deity is not worthy of the faith of our Douluo Continent!"

Lion Douluo clenched his fists and looked at Poseidon with disdain.

Qian Daoliu raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, his gaze fixed on the sky, a cold smile spreading across his lips.

He then spoke—

"Everyone, there's no need to be angry. The fact that the sky has now exposed Poseidon's hypocrisy is the greatest punishment for him."

"Poseidon's carefully cultivated image as a sea god will now be completely destroyed."

"Even if he ascends to the realm of gods, it won't matter. This stain will accompany him for eternity."
