“Impossible!”
“You are lying to me! You are trying to interfere with my will!”
Hearing what Neptune said about the truth of the world that made the soul beasts despair, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared angrily, and the aura around him surged. His huge body suddenly tumbled violently in the sea, and his huge tail instantly swung up and fanned towards Neptune in the air.
A blue-purple light shot out and enveloped Neptune in a fan shape.
The air was torn apart wherever this huge energy passed, and a layer of black lightning was also formed around the blue-purple fan-shaped light. This time, the Deep Sea Demon Whale did not rely on the power of the sea, but used the pure energy in its body to launch an attack.
Naturally, Neptune could no longer ignore it lightly. Holding the Sea God Trident in his hand, another ray of Sea God’s light shone on the trident. Then he swung the Sea God Trident fiercely, and with his body as the center, he used the Sea God Trident to draw a huge circle in the air.
A golden circular halo was drawn in the air, and then it faced the attack of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King head-on. The energy thrown out by the whale’s tail collided violently with the circle.
In an instant, the light in the air suddenly dimmed. This time, no sound was heard. The sky was terribly quiet. The previous energy disappeared quietly almost at the same time, without even a trace left.
After neutralizing the attack from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Neptune continued, “Lying to you? You know whether what I said is true or not. It’s just that you can’t accept the reality.”
“…”
As soon as these words came out, the violent aura of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King suddenly stagnated, as if he had been hit in the sore spot. Obviously Neptune was right, he just couldn’t accept the reality. I’m afraid any intelligent creature can’t accept that their life is arranged. No matter how futile the struggle is, the final result is to become a human spirit ring. To make wedding clothes for others.
How could the Deep Sea Demon Whale King accept this? How could he accept it?
Damn it! I have been cultivating hard for countless tens of thousands of years, and I have to endure countless pains from time to time. I finally managed to reach perfection and become a god…but suddenly someone comes to tell you, forget it, it is impossible to become a god. You will never become a god in this life. Even if you become a god, you will die a more miserable death!
Who can easily accept this cruel reality?
“Since you have reached your current state, you must have felt the feeling of an insurmountable barrier before, right? Besides, it must be unpleasant to endure a heavenly tribulation every time you break through the 100,000-year limit, right?” Neptune held the Sea God Trident in his hand, calmly looked at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King below and said, “To be honest, I admire you very much. The heavenly tribulation arranged for soul beasts in the God Realm is basically aimed at beating soul beasts to death. You have been able to survive ten heavenly tribulations and reach your current level. I can only say that you are truly gifted.
If it was in that era when beasts could become gods, you would have at least achieved a first-level god. Unfortunately, you were born in the wrong era.”
“A time when beasts can become gods?!”
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King keenly captured this key information from his words.
“From what you said, it seems that the soul beasts in the past were able to become gods?” In order to hear the secret about soul beasts becoming gods, the aura surging around him gradually calmed down, and it was obvious that he had no plans to take action for the time being.
“Of course you can become a god.”
Neptune gave a positive answer. In order to subdue the old whale, he did not mind telling him these things that were well known to the gods. After knowing it, it would only become more desperate and completely give up the idea of becoming a god on its own. Then he would take the opportunity to coerce and lure him, and the assessment would be completed.
“The cause of everything must start from the Divine Realm… How much do you know about the Divine Realm?” he suddenly asked. If the Deep Sea Demon Whale King didn’t even know about the God Realm, then he had to start from the beginning.
“I only know that after becoming a god-level, you can ascend to the realm of gods. The Sea God ascended to the realm of gods ten thousand years ago.” The Deep Sea Demon Whale King expressed his understanding.
“Well, it’s easier to handle now that you know.”
Neptune nodded and continued, “The Divine Realm, as the name suggests, is the world where the Gods live. And the subordinates of the Divine Realm manage many subordinate small worlds. For example, the Douluo Continent where we are is one of those many small worlds.”
“And in these many small worlds, as long as you cultivate to the god level, then after staying for a period of time, you must ascend to the Divine Realm and cannot stay in the small world. Gods cannot descend to the mortal world at will. This is the iron law of the Divine Realm!”
“I see. That’s why I was wondering why the Sea God didn’t come back to visit for so many years after he became a god and ascended to the Divine Realm. It turns out that this is the rule of the Divine Realm. It seems that life in the Divine Realm is not as comfortable as we imagined.” The Deep Sea Demon Whale King suddenly realized.
“It’s not just uncomfortable, it’s like being in prison!” Neptune complained in his heart.
“Ahem, now comes the key point!”
He coughed lightly before continuing, “A long time ago, in the small worlds under the Divine Realm, both humans and beasts could actually cultivate to become gods. Moreover, there was no special heavenly tribulation for beasts, and beasts even had their own set of god promotion levels…”
“Then why has it become like this now?!” The Deep Sea Demon Whale King couldn’t help but interrupt excitedly.
There is no heavenly tribulation, and there is also a set of divine promotion levels of its own… What kind of heaven is this! Compared with the soul beasts before, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King feels that he is living in dire straits now?
“But all this has undergone major changes since a beast god named Dragon God ascended to the divine realm!” Neptune did not care about his interruption and continued.
“In the God Realm at that time, those beasts that became gods were always ruled by the gods. However, the wisdom and intelligence of the beasts that could become gods were no different from humans. How could they be willing to be inferior to humans forever?”
“So, the divine beasts, led by the Dragon God, launched a war that affected the divine realm!”
“In the end, the divine beasts were completely defeated! All of them were killed!”
“And as victorious gods, in order to prevent future rebellions by divine beasts, they set a rule for their subordinate small worlds: beasts can never become gods!”
“Is this… the reason why soul beasts cannot become gods?”
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was completely stunned at this moment. His spirit was severely shocked and he was almost autistic because of this cruel reality.
But Neptune still refused to let him go and continued to attack him: “So, do you understand?”
“Even if you can seize my Sea God throne and forcibly become a god, what awaits you will only be a catastrophic disaster!”
“Because the gods in the divine realm above will never tolerate the appearance of a divine beast!”
“In your situation, I’m afraid that as soon as you become a god, the gods will send law enforcers to beat you to pieces. The best outcome is that you lose your mind and are enslaved like a real beast.”
T/N: I know the actual divine realm is different from the story stated above. Unfortunately, the author used this lore.
