Chapter 370 Poseidon: Don't Ascend! Don't Ascend! [Bonus Chapter]

"Yes, the Demon Soul Great White Shark was originally a deep-sea soul beast from the edge of the deep sea. Human history is too short; a thousand years of rise and fall is nothing more than a long slumber for us super sea soul beasts."

While the original Demon Orca King possessed intelligence comparable to humans and a vast memory storage capacity, the sheer volume of junk information accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years meant that even with its information processing system updated to a human version, its reaction speed was extremely slow and sluggish. Now, with the blessing of the Sage Module, the junk information that comprised 99.9% of the Demon Orca King's brain's database has been optimized, instantly multiplying the speed of its information processing system several times over. This is why the Demon Orca King feels as if it has a completely new brain.

"The endless lifespan of a soul beast is indeed the best witness to the passage of time. However, in the past, no soul master has reached this consensus with a 100,000-year-old soul beast. A 100,000-year-old soul ring and a 100,000-year-old soul bone are what human soul masters want most." Chen Hong, sitting on the head of the Demonic Tiger Whale King and enjoying the sea breeze, couldn't help but sigh.

If humanity wants to trace its own history, the best way is to find 100,000-year-old soul beasts to verify it. However, human soul masters in Douluo Continent have never been very interested in humanities. Compared to making full use of the long-term value of soul beasts, what human soul masters want to do most is to exhaust the resources to obtain 100,000-year-old soul rings and 100,000-year-old soul bones.

"In a more distant era, the overlords of the deep sea wreaked havoc, forcing the entire deep-sea ecosystem to migrate outwards. The Demon Soul Great White Shark migrated to the shallow seas, while the Evil Orca filled the Demon Soul Great White Shark's former position." Many of the Evil Orca King's memories are the inherited memories of his clan.

Historically, the uncrowned god of the deep sea slew the first Demon Orca King and the first Demon Soul Great White Shark King. The Demon Orca King that Chen Hong now rides is the third generation; the second generation Demon Orca King was defeated by the sea god Poseidon. Fortunately, the second generation Demon Soul Great White Shark King was defeated by the second generation Demon Orca King beforehand, preventing the Demon Orca clan from being at a disadvantage against the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan.

"King Orca, do you mean there are deeper secrets beneath the deep sea?" Chen Hong finally understood the meaning behind the Demon Orca King's roundabout way of speaking. Perhaps because the Demon Orca King rarely communicates with humans, its logic in speaking differs from that of normal humans, and its thoughts easily wander to some strange places.

"Yes." The Demon Orca King nodded slightly, then a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes as he said, "There is a great terror beneath the deep sea, and that Deep Sea Demon Whale King is merely the terror on the surface. However, because of the existence of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, none of us former Deep Sea Soul Beasts can return to the deep sea."

"As you know, the strength of a soul beast is almost directly related to its age. The fact that I became the third-generation king of the Demonic Orca means that my age and strength are both the highest in the Demonic Orca clan. But the Demonic Orca is already the third-generation king, and many of its traditions have been lost. When the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King appeared out of nowhere, I was still a child and couldn't remember what happened at all."

The Demon Orca King's realm is at Red Three, which is the 300,000 realm. Of course, this does not mean that the Demon Orca King has lived for 300,000 years. Based on the Demon Orca King's talent and bloodline, Chen Hong speculated that this big guy's real lifespan might be less than 100,000 years.

This generation of Demon Soul Great White Shark King is a little lower in cultivation level than Demon Orca King, reaching over 200,000 years. The exact number is unknown to Demon Orca King, and it hasn't bothered Demon Soul Great White Shark King for quite some time.

The last of the three ocean overlords—the Deep Sea Demon Whale King—reached a level that left both Chen Hong and Qian Daoliu speechless:

Nine hundred and ninety thousand years!

A supreme soul beast overlord with a lifespan of 990,000 years!

Furthermore, the Demon Orca King also told Chen Hong and Qian Daoliu a piece of information that the human world had no way of knowing: Poseidon and the sea god Poseidon were both defeated in front of the Deep Sea Demon Orca King!

In that battle, the Demon Orca and the Demon Soul Great White Shark were practically right behind Poseidon, ready to witness his majestic figure.

Finally, Poseidon broke through the barrier at the last moment, becoming a god on the spot. His divine power was innate, and every move he made was filled with the power of heaven and earth. He attacked in the opposite direction, directly shattering the void, determined to enter the realm of the gods.

And he left behind a proverb: Do not fly, do not become a god! Becoming a god will cause you to be expelled from the world by the power of heaven and earth and forcibly taken away by the divine realm!

Well, only the Demon Soul Great White Shark believed Poseidon's words, while the Demon Orca immediately defected.

"It is said that a beast can become a divine beast after a million years, but senior, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which is 990,000 years old, seems to be even more exaggerated than the so-called divine beasts." After pondering for a while, Chen Hong whispered to Qian Daoliu, who had a solemn expression beside him.

"Rumors aren't always 100% accurate," Qian Daoliu said in a deep voice. "Perhaps the person who left this rumor never even encountered a divine beast at the million-year level. The Sea God is a first-level god on par with the Angel God. The divine position has a great influence on a god's combat power. The Angel God's ancestor had just condensed a first-level divine position and already possessed the strength of a third-level god, surpassing even a hundred-level priest."

As the High Priest of the Angels, Qian Daoliu undoubtedly surpasses all other Douluo Soul Masters in his understanding of the gods. Even the High Priest of the Sea God, Poseidon, cannot compare to Qian Daoliu in this regard. After all, one of these high priests is a descendant of a family, while the other is an exquisitely crafted puppet who has undergone near-blood transfusion modifications; their treatment in various aspects is naturally different.

Qian Daoliu used the Angel God as an example because he believed that the Sea God, who was also a first-level god, possessed at least the strength of a third-level god when he condensed his divine position. Even if Poseidon, who possessed the divine artifact Sea God Trident and the Sea God's divine position, temporarily unleashed the strength of a second-level god, Qian Daoliu would not be surprised.

But if we follow this line of reasoning, wouldn't a Deep Sea Demon Whale King that's only 990,000 years old be far too terrifying? (Di Tian, ​​who has been called the Beast God for 800,000 years, has the strength of a third-level god.)

According to traditional understanding, a Soul Master's attainment of godhood at level 100 should be equivalent to a Soul Beast's attainment of godhood after a million years.

Have humans ever seen a million-year-old soul beast?

But in the realm of gods, are there really mythical beasts that are millions of years old?

(A certain fat worm in a secret realm: Almost there! Almost there!)

"It's not uncommon for the wisdom of a Soul Master accumulated over a century to be flawed in the face of a million-year-old Soul Beast."

Qian Daoliu sighed softly, then added a sentence to everyone:

"When a new god is born, he will not ascend immediately; he will remain there for about a hundred years."

The high priest angel ruthlessly tore away Poseidon's last shred of dignity.

"A million-year-old soul beast? You?"

"Um, should I leave, bro?"

A fat worm, caught by a burly man with dark purple skin, tried to escape.
