Chapter 745: Humiliation, Is This the Morality of the Sea God?_1

"Looking back?" Xu Ran sneered disdainfully.

How could he turn back after having a child with the Life Goddess? He had already gravely offended the Destruction God and wasn't afraid to offend a few more gods. He didn't take the Destruction God seriously, much less the Sea God.

Like the Rakshasa God, the Sea God was also a more powerful First-Level God.

Xu Ran raised his hand, ready to erase the Sea God's Divine Sense.

"Xu Ran, wait, don't do anything rash," the Sea God pleaded when he saw Xu Ran was ready to destroy his Divine Sense without a word. He stifled the indignation in his heart though he felt extremely aggrieved.

Xu Ran was very powerful. If his Divine Sense were erased, retrieving the Sea God's Trident from Xu Ran's hands later would become difficult.

Even if he managed to retrieve it later, he would be subjected to the ridicule of all gods.

He still remembered the embarrassing scene of the Rakshasa God and certainly did not want to follow in his footsteps.

Moreover, if his Divine Sense were destroyed, his "Cultivation Level" would decrease, and it would take him hundreds or even more years of arduous cultivation to return to his former state.

Gods were nothing more than beings who had grown more powerful, controlling some of the rules as superiors.

"If you return the Boundless Universe Shield to me, I can fulfill one of your requests. Right, you like women, don't you? The High Priest of Sea God's Island, Poseissi, is also a stunning beauty. A woman of a certain age, still charming. If you don't harm my Divine Sense, then Poseissi will be your woman from now on," said the Sea God as he made his offer.

"I am the Sea God—all the glory Poseissi has was given by me. I have the right to decide everything about her. Including giving her to you for your enjoyment," the Sea God said earnestly.

He had heard in the Divine Realm that Xu Ran had a comfortable and blissful life in the lower world, surrounded by beauties.

He assumed that Xu Ran wouldn't refuse this proposal.

To the Sea God, the Sea God's Trident was very important, but for Xu Ran, it wasn't as significant. Xu Ran's attributes didn't align with the Sea God's Trident, and he wouldn't be able to unleash much of its power.

"If Poseissi knew you were speaking this way, she would probably be very disappointed," Xu Ran commented. Poseissi had dedicated her life to protecting Sea God's Island, always showing utmost respect to the Sea God.

"Humph. Everything she has, I gave her, what else could she possibly do?"

"Why would the powerful care about the feelings of ants?"

"Initially, I intended for Poseissi to be my plaything. Who would've thought she'd fall in love with someone else along the way? A person like that could hardly be my plaything," the Sea God scoffed, thinking of Poseissi's beauty. Initially, he was tempted by her looks and intended to cultivate her so she could serve him in the Divine Realm.

A First-Level God can bring some people up to the Divine Realm.

If Poseissi had grown well and not fallen in love with someone else, it was natural that he would have taken her to the Divine Realm. There, as an ordinary person, she would have been able to experience the splendor of the Divine Realm. Unfortunately, due to that incident, she lost that opportunity and could only become a sacrificial offering for his Inheritor's path to godhood.

Being a sacrificial offering was also the best ending for her.

However, if he could now give her to Xu Ran, it wouldn't be such a loss for him after all his efforts in cultivating Poseissi. Xu Ran, being so powerful, could also satisfy her. Whatever fate Poseissi might meet in the future was no longer his concern.

The fate of the weak concerns no one.

"What an 'ant.'" Xu Ran's voice was cold. Wasn't the Sea God an ant in his eyes as well?

In this world, unless one stood at the pinnacle, everyone else was an ant. It was only a matter of larger ants versus smaller ones.

"Xu Ran, will you agree or not? If you do, Poseissi is yours to enjoy. All I want is the Sea God's Trident back, unharmed. This isn't a bad deal for you," the Sea God proposed.

"Moreover, I can tell you that when I was cultivating Poseissi, I sealed a lot of the Sea God's power inside her so that when I enjoyed her, I could absorb her energy and grow stronger. And now that you have her, your power will also increase," the Sea God continued.

"You make me sick," Xu Ran said coldly.

He hadn't expected there to be so many complications behind the scenes.

He had already sensed that the Sea God wasn't good news, and now he was even more convinced of this.

So that's how it was. If Tang Chen and Poseissi hadn't fallen in love, Poseissi might already be living a life worse than death by now. And yet, even so, in the original story, Poseissi died to open the way to godhood for Tang San by making a sacrifice.

That was the punishment the Sea God had for Poseissi.

This so-called Sea God was truly shameless.

"Xu Ran, don't think I'm afraid of you; you are truly overbearing! With your lustful nature, what act are you putting on in front of me?" the Sea God said in anger, his face turning red. He had generously offered his cherished plaything to Xu Ran, who was utterly ungrateful.

Wasn't Xu Ran supposed to be a shameless lecher in the legends?

"I may be lustful, but I would never do something so disgusting," Xu Ran said. He no longer wished to continue the conversation with the Sea God. Debating with such a person could only taint his own thoughts.

Is this the Sea God?

Heh...

With a heavy palm strike, Xu Ran obliterated the Sea God's Divine Sense in an instant.

...

The Divine Realm.

Inside a castle.

The Sea God, with clenched teeth, was furiously punching the table in front of him, which instantly disintegrated into ash.

"Xu Ran, you have gone too far!"

"How dare a lowly creature from the lower realm insult me, a First-Level God?"

"You should die!"

The Sea God roared, his heart filled with boundless rage.

"Since you want to obtain the Sea God's Trident, you would surely go to Sea God's Island. Fine, I'll be waiting for you! In the ocean, I can exert the maximum amount of strength, and I can use the power of the ocean. Let's see what courage you'll have to challenge me then," the Sea God said with an iron-blue face. Especially after he had assumed Xu Ran shared his own vices and had confided all his misdeeds to him.

He thought he could evoke in Xu Ran a shared interest, and out of sympathy, Xu Ran would spare him.

Who would have expected Xu Ran, that trash, to play the moralist!

"I'm going to Sea God's Island now. I want to see just how strong you can be. The ocean is my Domain, and I will not tolerate your insolence!" The Sea God quickly headed towards the Council of the Divine Realm; he wanted to set up everything in advance.

While the Boundless Universe Shield had fallen into Xu Ran's hands, it was the core item of the Sea God's Trident. But the main body of the Sea God's Trident was on Sea God's Island.

Since Xu Ran had stolen the Boundless Universe Shield, he would undoubtedly come to take the Trident as well.

The Sea God could just slowly set up his plans on the Sea God's Island.

However, descending to the lower realm was quite troublesome; he needed to apply to the Council of the Divine Realm first, which would take quite a bit of time. But he didn't want the other gods to know he had been humiliated by Xu Ran. He could use the excuse of going to inspect Sea God's Island to descend to the lower realm.

"Slut, you've made me lose all face; I will not make it easy for you when I descend to the lower realm," the Sea God thought of Poseissi and couldn't help but take out his anger on her.
