I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

After listening to the Spirit Emperor's account of Seagod Island and the recent divine decree, the Abyss Saint King gave the other a meaningful look before ordering, "The plan remains unchanged. Prepare to expand the spatial rift. You, the Fiery Emperor, and the Demon Emperor will lead the armies from the sixtieth to the seventieth level. I will also dispatch the Transformation Emperor and the Bee Emperor to assist you; they will command the armies from the ninetieth to the one hundredth level. This battle must succeed; failure is not an option! Any objections?"

Emperor Ling quickly clasped his hands in response and said, "Your subject has no objection."

"Very good." The Holy King continued unhurriedly, "Besides that, there is one more thing I need you to do."

"Please speak, Lord!"

"When launching an attack on this so-called Sea God Island, be mindful of the location of the Sea God's successor. Although according to most of the rules of the divine realm, as long as we don't produce a god-level expert, they will turn a blind eye to our actions until we win, they might still disregard the rules and descend to the mortal realm if we threaten their successor. Therefore, don't kill this person; it's best to focus on sealing them, which will make it easier to sever their connection with the gods. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

"Alright, now let's quickly spread the abyssal rift."

"I obey your decree!"

After giving orders to Emperor Ling, the Holy Monarch ignored him and went to the bottom of the abyss to prepare for the upcoming battle.

Upon reaching the lowest level, the Holy King's previously impassive expression began to show a hint of anger: "Sea God, is it? You treat our Abyss as a pawn to gain your faith?! Fine, then let's see if you, this hypocritical savior, can turn our Abyss into nourishment, or if I will utterly destroy your legacy!!!"

As the Holy Ruler of the Abyss Plane, he was no fool. Based on the Spirit Emperor's description of Seagod Island and Seagod Tang San, he knew that the connection between the Abyss Plane and the Douluo Plane, along with its origin, was most likely the work of this so-called Seagod.

Don't listen to how the Spirit Emperor described the Sea God as so upright and honorable. The Abyss Saint King knew very well that among those who became gods through faith, not only did scoundrels exist, but they were the majority.

Admittedly, he had always tried to avoid planes protected by gods, but that does not mean that the Holy King was completely unaware of the virtues of those gods.

While some gods are indeed as sublime as their followers claim, this sea god is clearly not among them. In the Holy King's view, this sea god belongs to the kind of god who will stop at nothing to expand the power of his faith.

When the origins of his Abyss Plane and the Douluo Plane intersected, he vaguely sensed the aura of a god, and that aura indeed carried a trace of the ocean.

Therefore, the Holy King can swear that the connection between the two planes was definitely the work of this Sea God! So he must also target this so-called Sea God in this attack.

This is why the Holy King ordered the Spirit Emperor to seal away the so-called successor of the Sea God, even if the successor was just a false rumor. The reason was not as simple as he said.

In a sense, the Holy King was actually gambling that this person was the true successor of the Sea God. As long as the person was the true successor of the Sea God, he could devour the divine affinity of the other person by severing the connection between the other person and his own god.

The so-called affinity with a deity is exactly what it sounds like, which is the degree of compatibility with the deity. The higher this value, the easier it will be for the successor to inherit the deity. In fact, as long as the affinity reaches a certain value, even if the successor does not inherit the deity, they can still use a part of the powers of the corresponding deity.

Therefore, in theory, as long as the divine affinity of the inheritor is taken away, the Holy Monarch can also exercise some of his powers by relying on this affinity.

This would both weaken the sea god's fighting power and help the Holy King break through to the level of God King in the future.

Although the Holy Lord's strength is at the level of a first-level god, he does not have his own divine position. However, this statement is not accurate. It should be said that his divine position is actually the star lord divine position of the Abyss Plane.

However, this kind of divine position is different from other divine positions. The power controlled by the Star Lord God is the power of all the rules of the entire plane, so theoretically it is much stronger than other divine positions of the same level.

These divine positions can rise and fall depending on the plane they exist in, because they are attached to the plane itself, and therefore the strength of the plane is closely related to these divine positions.

For example, the current Abyss Saint King not only possesses the power of a first-level god, but also wields a unique super artifact. It can be said that even among the main gods in the God Realm, he is definitely a top-tier existence at the main god level.

However, it would be much more difficult for him to advance to the level of God-King than for other first-level gods, because he would have to develop his Abyss Plane to the same level as the God Realm before he could advance to God-King.

However, if he can absorb and analyze the authority of other gods in large quantities and integrate it into his own abyssal plane, then he can more easily improve the quality of his plane's energy, preparing for future expansion and advancement.

Indeed, theoretically, if the Abyss successfully devours the Douluo Plane, the energy it can provide would be enough for his Abyss Plane to become a God Realm. However, given that this is clearly a trick played by the other party, how could the Holy Monarch have the mind to devour the Douluo Plane?

The God Realm that protects this Douluo plane is like the Sword of Damocles to the Abyss Saint King. Once they intervene, the Abyss plane, with only the Saint King as its sole god-level powerhouse, will undoubtedly suffer a crushing defeat.

The reason those gods haven't intervened yet is simply because they want to reap the benefits. They plan to descend to the mortal realm when Douluo is driven into a corner, destroy the abyss, and thus collect a large amount of faith power and rightfully seize a large amount of abyssal energy, leaving at most some remnants for Douluo.

Therefore, the Holy Lord's current plan is to analyze the connection between the God Realm and the Abyss before descending to the lower realm, and then find an opportunity to sever it. During this period, he will also strive for some benefits for himself and the Abyss, and seize a portion of the Douluo Plane's energy, etc.

Although this approach is somewhat cowardly overall, he had no choice but to do it because the difference in strength was too great. If he didn't want to be killed and drained dry by his opponent, he had no other option.

Besides, if we're talking about the Abyss Plane, they're the victims in this whole affair! You were the ones who ordered me to invade your Douluo Plane! And yet I have to pay the price with my life?! Are all you Douluo gods this shameless?!

Especially you, you bastard sea god who dragged the abyss plane here!!!
