From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 735 Reversing Life and Death!

If we're talking about the only god in the entire divine realm who has ever offended Chen Hong, it's Poseidon, the god of the sea.

While everyone else was acting with various motives, only Poseidon was trying to kill Chen Hong.

Long ago, when Chen Hong was resurrected from the Black Whale ship that had sunk to the bottom of the sea, he said that he would settle his score with Poseidon sooner or later.

"Look! There's a shooting star!"

Soul Masters and gods on the Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent in the Douluo Realm looked up with complex expressions, just in time to see a blue meteor streak across the sky, trailing a brilliant tail. Divine power particles burned and boiled in the air, transforming into colors as dazzling as starlight.

Boom!!!

As the azure meteor approached, all the gods in the Douluo Continent seemed to hear a tremendous buzzing sound. Then, a beam of light streaked across their vision and crashed straight into the ruins of Sea Soul Island on the western side of the Douluo Continent!

"That is... Poseidon." Above the Douluo Continent, Tang San, clad in blood-red divine armor, stood high in the sky with a group of Douluo Gods and God-level Soul Masters, gazing at the distant shooting star. A complex emotion lingered in his pale purple eyes.

"He won," Oscar and others were more concerned about.

"Let's go, let's go see that 'Third Generation Sea God'." Ning Quan, a God-level Soul Master, gazed silently at the boundless starry sky with his dazzling eyes, then led the God-level Soul Masters behind him towards the old site of Sea Soul Island. Tang San and the others hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to go along as well.

When they arrived at the old site of Sea Soul Island, they saw Poseidon, the sea god, pinned to the sea surface by his own divine weapon, the Trident of Poseidon!

Above the trident of Poseidon, a slender man who was both incredibly familiar and strange to them stood atop the trident. As he manipulated the surrounding void, layers of profound and mysterious divine halos were born and annihilated in his hands.

Almost instantly, a divine rune matrix that enveloped the entire old site of Sea Soul Island unfolded. Chen Hong, located at the center of the matrix, looked at Poseidon, the sea god who was still trying to resist at his feet, and chuckled: "A bet is a bet. You were too greedy from the beginning. I don't deny your ambition, but you should have expected this day to come."

Poseidon, the god of the sea, wanted to say something, but having been pierced by the trident of the sea god and with his divine power sealed and imprisoned by Chen Hong, he could do nothing at this moment.

However, Chen Hong didn't want to hear what Poseidon, the sea god, had to say. There's a saying that karma is a cycle, and Poseidon should have been prepared to be defeated and die the moment he decided to attack the Technological Federation.

"Death, come out and make a deal. I need death data from fifty years ago." Chen Hong stood atop the Trident of Poseidon, surrounded by a matrix of divine runes. His voice pierced through dimensions, and many gods around him could hear it.

After a brief silence, a gentle breeze stirred, and a black-robed figure, exuding a gray aura of death and whose features were obscured, appeared not far from Chen Hong.

"The revered God of Wisdom must pay a heavy price to reverse life and death." The God of Death, who descended from outside the Douluo Realm, silently looked at Chen Hong in front of him, remained silent for a moment, and finally said in a hoarse and low voice.

"I know, but what I need to reverse is not a deeper level of death, but a superficial one." Chen Hong calmly looked at the Grim Reaper who appeared in front of him and said something that made the Grim Reaper fall silent for a long time.

The remnant soul of the Dragon King in the Dragon Tomb told Chen Hong that many things in this world are fabricated lies, including death.

In the depths of the deadly sea, there are at least two great nets. If the deepest net fails to catch a person, it signifies utter death—a true annihilation with no possibility of rebirth. However, as long as one avoids touching the final net of death, those who perished at other depths have the potential to be retrieved by overwhelming power.

The reason why the God of Death in the divine realm could be born is that he is a new net of death. All living beings that die within the divine realm will be intercepted at his level, instead of falling directly into the dark abyss of true death.

Furthermore, Chen Hong had a vague suspicion that the God of Death in the God Realm was unusually weak. In Chen Hong's deduction, perhaps a Death God King was born in a large plane among the planes that split the Dragon God Realm.

This point also connects with what the Dragon Kings of the Dragon Tomb said, because the dragon soul of that Emerald Dragon King compared death to the Five Great God Kings, which means that the God King of Death did exist.

"If it's just a superficial death, I can still retrieve data from fifty years ago, as long as you can grant me access," Chen Hong said, looking at the Grim Reaper.

"It's hard to imagine that the God of Wisdom has such a profound understanding of death." After a moment of silence, the God of Death sighed softly. Chen Hong had uttered something that no one but the God of Death himself could comprehend: what is death, and what is the God of Death?

Death is not the same as death itself.

Similarly, the death of the Grim Reaper is not the same as actual death.

The existence of Death is like casting a large net on a great river called Death, intercepting passing souls, and making these souls believe they are dead, while Death collects some of its power from them.

"Since the God of Wisdom knows the secrets of death, I have no reason to stop you. However, such a large-scale resurrection requires a lot of time to find specific candidates and also incurs the cost of reversing life and death." Death knew he had no secrets from the God of Wisdom, so he was very frank.

The latest novel is first published here!

A god of wisdom like the Lord of Wisdom is someone he can no longer refuse. Especially given the Lord's strange and mysterious power of wisdom, even Death feels a chill run down his spine standing before him.

Facing the other five God-Kings, Death felt that even if he couldn't defeat them, he could at least lose clearly and decisively. But the God of Wisdom was different; not only could he lose inexplicably, but he could also die inexplicably.

Ordinary gods kill immortal gods; only those who understand the mysteries of true death and superficial death have the potential to kill the god of death.

"You don't need to worry about these things. Just let Poseidon do his best." Chen Hong naturally understood the burden of reversing life and death. Even if it was a shallow death, such a large-scale reversal of death could easily backfire and be devoured by the death rules of the entire divine realm.

However, Chen Hong had anticipated this; he captured Poseidon precisely to prepare for it.

Poseidon was sacrificed.
