Chapter 2 Founder of the Sun and Moon Empire, Wei Yuan and the Sea God Were Once Close Friends?
The comment "Despicable False God" on the celestial screen was like an invisible slap in the face to Sea God Island and the Spirit Hall.
On Sea God Island, Poseidon's shrill scream echoed in the square. She trembled, her sacred red dress billowing without wind, her powerful soul force overflowing due to her emotional breakdown.
"Slander! This is the most vicious slander against a god!"
Poseidon could not accept that the Sea God, whom she had served her entire life and regarded as her supreme faith, had been given such a despicable evaluation.
In the Spirit Hall, inside the Hall of Worship.
Qian Daoliu's face was equally gloomy.
He was shocked at first, then a complex and unfathomable light flashed in his eyes.
"Twenty thousand years ago..."
Qian Daoliu murmured to himself, correcting his previous understanding.
"So it was twenty thousand years ago.
My ancestor became a god in that era... Just who is this Wei Yuan?"
Qian Daoliu glanced at the name "Sea God" on the celestial screen and sneered inwardly.
The Angel race and the Sea God lineage have always been at odds. Now, seeing the other's dark history exposed in public, he felt a faint sense of satisfaction.
But Qian Daoliu was more concerned about what the celestial canopy would say next.
"Xiaoxue inherited the purest Angel God bloodline; her future must not be tainted by any stain!"
Qian Daoliu secretly resolved to uncover all the truths buried by history from the celestial canopy's revelation.
Shrek Academy.
Tang San suddenly opened his eyes, looked up at the celestial canopy, and his heart pounded.
"A false god? How is this possible?"
Tang San had just passed the first few trials of the Sea God's Nine Trials and had the most direct experience of the Sea God's power and majesty.
How could that vast, abyss-like divine power belong to a despicable person?
Was this celestial revelation true or false?
If… if what the celestial revelation said was true, then what was he inheriting?
For a moment, Tang San's beliefs were violently shaken.
Just as the entire Douluo Star was plunged into a deathly silence of shock by this earth-shattering revelation, the celestial screen shifted, and a grand yet cold voice resounded throughout heaven and earth, beginning a detailed revelation of Poseidon's path to godhood.
[Revelation begins.]
[Twenty thousand years ago, Douluo Star was not just one continent. On the other side of the ocean, there existed another vast land—the Sun and Moon Continent.]
The scene shifted, and the celestial screen displayed two enormous landmasses facing each other across the sea.
One was the Douluo Continent, familiar to Soul Masters; the other was filled with strange metallic artifacts and different energy auras.
Twenty thousand years ago.
Wei Yuan found himself transported to the world of 'Douluo Continent,' but appeared on the Sun and Moon Continent.
At this time, Soul Guidance Devices were only in their infancy on the Sun and Moon Continent.
Like the Douluo Continent, the main focus was still on cultivating Martial Souls.
The Douluo Continent also had many ruins.
The storage soul tool 'Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon' that Yu Xiaogang gave Tang San was something he obtained from ruins during his adventures on the continent in his youth.
Meanwhile, Wei Yuan, while cultivating his martial soul and building his own power, was also promoting the development of soul tools on the Sun Moon Continent.
When Wei Yuan chose to leave the Sun Moon Continent to explore the seas, he later visited the Douluo Continent several times, leaving behind fragments of information about it.
"The Sun Moon Continent?!"
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's pupils constricted, and he exclaimed in shock.
"Ancient texts contained fragments of records saying that beyond the Endless Sea, there was another human civilization... it was true!"
This news once again shattered everyone's worldview.
[At that time, a once-in-a-millennium marine prodigy was born on the Douluo Continent—Poseidon. Born by the sea, his martial soul was the supreme Sea Scepter, naturally able to command the tides and communicate with marine life, earning him the title of 'Son of the Sea.']
In the celestial scene, a dashing blue-haired youth appeared.
Holding the scepter, he stood atop the raging waves, countless sea spirit beasts bowing at his feet, displaying unparalleled dominance.
Seeing this, Poseidon's eyes ignited with renewed hope:
"Look, the Sea God is destined by fate; he was born for the ocean!"
However, the narration on the celestial screen did not stop.
[Meanwhile, on the Sun and Moon Continent, a brilliant and extraordinary figure emerged—Wei Yuan. He was not a sea spirit master, yet he harbored lofty ambitions, believing that faith should not be confined to the land. Alone, he crossed the endless sea, unafraid of the storms and the threats of sea spirit beasts, spreading his own faith across the ocean with unparalleled personal charisma and immense strength.]
The scene shifts, revealing a tall, handsome young man with black hair and black eyes on a small boat amidst raging waves.
Facing a ferocious, ten-thousand-year-old sea spirit beast, he shows no fear, suppressing it with only his iron fists and a long spear.
He doesn't even need to use his martial spirit, the 'Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon.'
His physical strength rivals that of a spirit beast of the same realm!
Wei Yuan rescues stranded crew members and guides lost creatures; his faith, like a gentle spring rain, has silently taken root in the hearts of some ocean creatures.
[Two peerless geniuses finally meet in the heart of the ocean.]
[They are not only rivals vying for faith, but also kindred spirits who appreciate each other. They have fought side-by-side, slaying a hundred-thousand-year-old deep-sea monster; they have also sat together discussing the possibility of becoming gods and the path to the future.]
In the scene, Poseidon and Wei Yuan's figures intertwine.
They stand back-to-back against the beast tide, and they have also raised a cup to drink and talk about their ideals on a calm, deserted island.
"If we can become gods, we shall jointly rule this azure sea, ensuring its eternal peace," Wei Yuan declared with boundless pride.
"Good! Brothers, let us create a legend together!"
Poseidon responded, raising his cup in genuine joy.
Seeing this, Poseidon's face turned deathly pale.
So… so Wei Yuan really existed!
And he and the Sea God were once such close friends!
Then… what about the betrayal later?
The heavens gave no one a chance to breathe; the cold words continued, shattering Poseidon's last shred of illusion.
[The path of faith is singular, and divine positions are selfish.] Poseidon gradually realized that if he shared faith equally with Wei Yuan, they would at most each become powerful second-level gods.
[But if… he could monopolize the faith of all ocean creatures, stealing Wei Yuan's share as well, he would have the opportunity to create an unprecedentedly powerful divine position—the peak of a first-level god, the strongest below the God-King!]
[Faced with such immense temptation, the past friendship and brotherhood became utterly worthless.]
A wicked plan was quietly brewing in the heart of Poseidon, the 'Son of the Sea'.
The image on the sky froze on Poseidon's handsome face.
His once genuine smile was now replaced by a deep-seated ambition and coldness.
