Reincarnated as the Death Spider Queen, sacrificing Bibi Dong at the start

"If it were a direct confrontation, given my critically injured and near-death state at the time, facing that crazy woman would have meant a zero chance of survival and certain death."

"Resistance means certain death, while sacrifice, even if there is only a one percent or even a one-thousandth chance of a successful backlash, is still better than being completely dead, right? Since I'm going to die anyway, sacrifice... at least it can leave me with a glimmer of hope."

The Sea Maiden Douluo and Xiaobai looked at each other, completely speechless.

Although Nan Feng's extreme logic of "I'll gamble as long as the survival rate is greater than zero" sounds very sound, and it is even impossible to find any fault with it.

However, if they were placed in Nan Feng's desperate position at that time, they would ask themselves honestly that they would absolutely, absolutely never choose the path of "sacrifice"!

If successful, it is certainly a case of turning adversity into opportunity.

But what if it fails?

The price of failure is to give away all the cultivation, body, soul bones, and even soul that I have painstakingly cultivated for 100,000 years, as spoils of war to the enemy who drove me to my death!

For a 100,000-year-old soul beast, this is an even greater humiliation than being reduced to ashes!

With the pride and dignity ingrained in the bones of 100,000-year-old soul beasts, even when driven to the brink of despair, they would rather self-destruct spectacularly and take their enemies down with them than bow down and offer everything to a human as a stepping stone.

But this man in front of me...

A madman! A real madman!

No wonder he's survived to this day and can even turn the tables.

This guy is ruthless not only to others, but even more ruthless to himself!

Chapter 192 Maritime Order

……

After learning that Nan Feng's current body was truly just an energy puppet that could be discarded at any time, and that it wouldn't matter even if it were torn to pieces in the deep sea, Xiao Bai's last bit of concern vanished.

Although Nan Feng's account of the "sacrifice and possession" story sounds extremely crazy and shameless, it is undeniable that this man does possess terrifying scheming abilities and survival wisdom.

Since he took the initiative to suggest using underhanded methods to deal with the evil orca king, Xiaobai was naturally happy to see it happen.

"Since you're not afraid of death, then let's go!"

Xiao Bai readily agreed. Her body flashed with that strange gray-blue light once more, and her slender human body instantly disappeared into the sea, transforming back into the massive, streamlined, and beautiful Demon Soul Great White Shark King.

Nan Feng lightly touched the sand with his toes and landed gracefully on Xiao Bai's broad, flat shark back.

The Sea Maiden Douluo watched the man and shark about to depart, her azure eyes gleaming with intense curiosity and gossip.

She really wanted to go and see what kind of shameless and insidious tricks this extremely cunning man, who could even make the high priest lose his composure, would pull when facing that ferocious demonic orca king.

However, she could only sigh helplessly.

Without the direct command of the High Priest, as the guardian of the Sea Maiden's Sacred Pillar, she must remain stationed in the Sea Maiden City at all times and is absolutely forbidden from leaving her post or the defensive perimeter of Seagod Island.

She went to Purple Pearl Island before because the High Priest personally gave her the task of testing Nan Feng, but now she can only stay and do her duty.

"Be careful yourselves! If you can't beat them, run away quickly, don't try to fight them!" The Sea Maiden Douluo waved her hand towards the sea with concern.

"Don't worry, I value my life the most."

Nan Feng waved his hand without turning his head.

With a powerful thud of its tail fin, the man and the shark shot off like arrows, instantly cleaving the azure sea surface and hurtling toward the deep ocean.

……

Little White's speed in the sea was astonishing. Several hours later, it had darkened, and the deep starry sky was reflected on the sea.

Xiao Bai finally slowed down and cautiously transmitted her thoughts to Nan Feng on her back through her mental power: "We've arrived. That area of ​​sea ahead is the current habitat of the Demon Orca clan."

Standing on the shark's back, facing the salty sea breeze, Nan Feng narrowed his heterochromatic pupils and gazed at the dark sea in the distance, which seemed to devour all light.

"In today's oceans, the Demon Orca race can be said to be the absolute overlord, second only to the Deep Sea Demon Whale race."

Xiao Bai solemnly explained, "However, the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan has always been small in number. Especially after that old monster, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, rose to power, that guy almost devoured all of his own kind in his pursuit of power!"

"At least in my memory, I haven't seen any other deep-sea demon whales in this area for tens of thousands of years. Perhaps there are still some deep-sea demon whales barely surviving in the distant Demon Whale Sea, or in the even more unknown deep sea. But at least within a radius of tens of thousands of miles around Poseidon Island, they have definitely disappeared."

Xiao Bai glanced warily into the distance: "Therefore, the current Demon Orca clan is the largest and most powerful predatory group on this ocean."

Hearing this, Nan Feng raised an eyebrow with curiosity: "Since the Demon Orca race is so brutal and poses such a great threat to the marine ecosystem, weren't you Poseidon's mount back then? When Poseidon was conquering the ocean, why didn't he take the opportunity to completely eliminate these extremely threatening groups?"

"The Sea God is the supreme deity of the entire ocean. He possesses an extremely broad mind. He is not some executioner who only knows how to kill. How could he possibly wantonly kill in his own territory?"

Xiao Bai refuted Nan Feng's utilitarian thinking, and then told Nan Feng about the ancient history of this ocean.

"More than 20,000 years ago, before the Sea God truly rose to power and unified the four seas, this ocean was extremely chaotic and bloody. The order you see now, which is mostly calm despite the fighting, simply did not exist back then."

"Back then, powerful predatory sea spirit beasts fought everywhere in the ocean for territory and food. The entire sea was stained red with the blood of countless spirit beasts all year round!"

"Especially that Deep Sea Demon Whale King, wherever that guy goes, bloodshed follows! Today you devour me, tomorrow I'll strangle you. The entire ocean is a purgatory of the law of the jungle, with no bottom line, no rules, and no order!"

"This situation continued until the appearance of Lord Poseidon."

Xiao Bai proudly said, "The Sea God spent a full thousand years conquering the various unruly sea tribes step by step with his powerful strength and unparalleled wisdom! He established a strict maritime order in this chaotic ocean, and fairly reorganized the living areas and hunting grounds of the various sea tribes, which gradually calmed down those endless and cruel wars."

"Otherwise, let alone you humans on land who would dare to go into the sea, even a sea spirit beast like me lived in constant fear on this ocean during those chaotic years, afraid that one day I would be swallowed up by an even stronger beast in my sleep."

At this point, Xiaobai answered Nanfeng's question about "eliminating threats":

"As for eliminating threats, when the Sea God was establishing order, he did indeed use swift and decisive methods to eliminate many brutal and stubbornly unwilling soul beast overlords who refused to submit to the order of the ocean."

"But they've already bowed their heads and submitted. You can't just rely on your divine power and unreasonably exterminate them, can you?"

“Even the once arrogant and domineering Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who once dominated the Demon Whale Sea, back then, after the Sea God pierced one of his eyes with a halberd and almost lost his life, didn’t he also admit defeat and retreat back into the deep sea, too afraid to come out? Now that it has submitted, the Sea God will naturally not exterminate it.”

"As for this current demonic killer whale king..."

Xiao Bai sighed helplessly: "That thing actually came from the distant outer sea thousands of years ago. Moreover, it is extremely cunning. It has always only wandered around the edge of the sea area controlled by Poseidon Island and has never taken the initiative to offend the majesty of Poseidon Island. Naturally, the High Priest and Poseidon Island have no legitimate reason to take action against it."

"The struggle between our Demon Soul Great White Shark clan and the Demon Orca clan is, in the final analysis, just the most basic survival competition in nature."

"Just as human soul masters must hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings and become stronger, our two major predatory races inevitably engage in brutal battles in the ocean to compete for limited high-level hunting areas and food resources."

"This kind of survival competition that conforms to the laws of nature is something that even the Sea God would never excessively interfere with when he set the rules."

Standing on the shark's back, Nan Feng listened to Xiao Bai's long-winded speech and nodded thoughtfully.

"I understand."

"To put it bluntly, the rule set by your Sea God back then was macro-control and micro-self-control."

"As a law enforcer, Poseidon Island exists to maintain the overall order of the ocean and prevent the kind of all-out war that can sweep across entire sea areas and lead to the extinction of large groups. However, Poseidon Island will not forcibly interfere with the daily hunting of marine life for survival and reproduction, or the natural fighting between groups for resources."

“Poseidon, the god of the sea, truly viewed the issue from the perspective of a deity who represents the balance of the entire marine ecosystem. Unlike those so-called emperors on the continent, who only stood from the narrow and vulgar standpoint of a ‘sea emperor’ or ‘sea god island lord’ and were preoccupied with the gains and losses of a city, a tribe, or a class of people.”

"Without bias or prejudice, all things flourish..."

"It has to be said that this kind of advanced and ecologically balanced macro-governance thinking... coming from an ancient person more than 20,000 years ago is truly incredible."

Chapter 193 The Demonic Orca King

……

Hearing that Nan Feng had finally shown genuine respect to the Sea God, Xiao Bai's simple soul beast heart was filled with immense pride.

"Of course!"

Little White rolled over happily in the water and proudly transmitted its voice through its mental power: "If it weren't for this broad mind that can encompass the four seas and this profound wisdom that understands the laws of the development of all things, how could the Sea God have gained the heartfelt and devout faith of countless creatures in the entire ocean in just a thousand years?"

“Extreme violence may temporarily subdue people, but it can only bring endless fear and oppression, and can never bring true faith.”

"The Sea God rules the four seas and is worshipped by countless sea creatures who have built Sea God Pillars for him generation after generation. How could such a great being be a foolish tyrant who only knows how to squander violence and solve all problems by killing?"

Xiao Bai looked at Nan Feng earnestly: "Lord Sea God is the only true god in the hearts of all of us sea spirit beasts!"

Hearing Xiaobai's proud declaration as a "sea god fanatic," Nanfeng smiled noncommittally.

Even if the gods were great, that was 20,000 years ago.

"Alright, that's enough for history class."

Nan Feng withdrew his gaze from the deep sea. "The rules of the sea god are the rules of the sea god. Just because he doesn't interfere with natural competition doesn't mean I can't interfere either."

"Since the Demon Orca race is the top predator in the ocean, then today... let me, the top predator from the land, have some fun with them."

Nan Feng turned his head, looked at Xiao Bai at his feet, and instructed, "You just wait here. If a fight really breaks out later, the deep-sea environment will be chaotic, and I might not be able to take care of you."

"I can help!"

Xiao Bai transmitted his voice, "The Demon Orca King is very cunning and extremely fast in the deep sea. More people mean more strength. At least I can help you hold him back!"

"No need for that."

Nan Feng waved his hand, "This battle will be over soon. If you come with me, it could easily turn into a brutal group battle."

"Going there alone and taking matters into my own hands is the most efficient way to fight."

Upon hearing Nan Feng's tactical plan, Xiao Bai hesitated for a moment. She knew that Nan Feng was right; if she went along, she would only become a burden if her aura was exposed.

"Then... be careful." Little White obediently stepped back and disappeared into the dark sea further away.

Nan Feng wasted no more time and leaped into the icy depths of the sea with a "plop".

Anyway, his current body is just a puppet made of pure energy, and he doesn't need to breathe like a human.

As for swimming and accelerating in the deep sea, the wind attribute power fused within him can indeed be used in the sea.

The problem is that the wind force underwater will produce violent water flow fluctuations and bubble noise, which is too noisy.

Since the focus has been on stealth assassination, this easily exposed tactic is naturally no longer effective.

However, he had another trick up his sleeve.

After confirming that Xiaobai had retreated to an absolutely safe distance, Nanfeng flipped his wrist and took out the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

This artifact, formed from the heart of the sea god, is practically the perfect cheat code in this realm belonging to the sea god.

Nanfeng skillfully infused a wisp of soul power into it, directly activating one of its core skills—the Vast Ocean Protective Shield!

"Om-"

A soft blue halo instantly enveloped Nan Feng's body completely.

Immediately afterwards, his body became completely transparent in the cold seawater, and his aura, soul power fluctuations, and even the resistance to dissipate the seawater were perfectly concealed by the Vast Ocean Universe Cover at this moment.

Like a true ghost, Nan Feng silently slithered towards the core area of ​​the deep sea where the demonic orca horde was located.
