Poseidon's shock was pure and undisguised.
How could a Soul Master, an eight-ring Soul Douluo who wasn't even a Title Douluo, break free from his divine power restraints?
How is that possible!
When he descended upon this place, he did not use mere divine power to suppress it, but rather the absolute control over the laws of space that only a god could possess.
Within this realm shrouded by his will, he is the rule itself.
Xiao Wu's ability to move is thanks to the trident of Poseidon.
Poseidon's ability to move was due to his tacit approval.
But what makes this kid Ning Liu so special?
The sea god's azure eyes flashed with divine light as he tried to see through Ning Liu's secrets.
However, all he saw was chaos, as if an invisible barrier blocked all his exploration.
Just a moment before his divine sense swept over, a faint, mysterious tortoise-shell-like phantom flashed across Ning Liu's body, so faint it seemed like an illusion.
That was the power of the Xuanwu Divine Shield. As a divine-level defense, it could not directly confront the Sea God, but it was more than enough to silently break open a small "cage" for Ning Liu himself.
Ning Liu ignored the Sea God's probing gaze. He walked to Xiao Wu's side and gently patted her stiff shoulder. The gentle soul power flowed through his palm, calming Xiao Wu's trembling body slightly.
She looked up, her beautiful eyes filled with helplessness and confusion, like a rabbit lost in a storm.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Ning Liu's voice was not loud, but it was unusually firm.
After calming Xiao Wu down, he turned around, faced the towering deity, and bowed again with a calm and respectful expression:
"This junior dares to ask the Sea God a question."
Poseidon didn't speak, but just stared at him coldly, his eyes seeming to say: I'll give you a chance to explain.
"The lord said that the divine realm does not allow soul beasts to become gods."
Ning Liu spoke slowly, his tone devoid of any questioning, more like that of a junior genuinely seeking guidance.
"This junior is foolish and does not know whether this 'intolerance' is due to the body of a soul beast or the bloodline of a soul beast?"
He paused, then posed an even more pointed question: "If a human and a spirit beast fall in love and have offspring who possess both bloodlines, how should the divine realm treat such a child? Should they be accepted or rejected?"
This question, like an invisible needle, precisely pierced a delicate spot.
Poseidon, the god of the sea, furrowed his brow almost imperceptibly.
Offspring of humans and spirit beasts?
Such things are common in the lower realms, but in the realm of gods, it is an extremely sensitive and complex topic.
He naturally knew the key to it; even the Divine Realm Council had debated it fiercely.
But what does this have to do with you, a mere mortal?
"snort!"
Poseidon snorted coldly, and his divine power surged once more like a tide.
"How dare you mortals presume to fathom the laws of the divine realm? I need not explain my actions to you!"
The majesty of God cannot be challenged.
He has already given this arrogant brat far too much face.
Faced with this overwhelming pressure that could almost crush one's soul, Ning Liu smiled.
Far from being frightened, he burst into laughter, a clear laugh that stood out starkly in the deathly silent hall.
“What you say is true, sir. The laws of the divine realm are something that juniors are naturally not qualified to inquire about.”
Ning Liu changed the subject, his gaze drifting towards the altar, his tone becoming somewhat playful.
"However... I do have a small matter here that might interest you, sir."
A sense of foreboding rose in Poseidon's heart.
Ning Liu said leisurely, "Does my lord know how that 'replica' of the love letter in your hand ended up on the altar of the Sea God Temple?"
boom!
Poseidon's mind went blank for a moment.
He suddenly looked down at the scroll he had just put away, then suddenly looked up, his gaze shooting at Ning Liu like a sharp sword.
His gaze then turned to Poseidon, who was still kneeling on the ground.
Poseidon's body trembled violently. Feeling the questioning gaze of the god, she looked at Ning Liu and nodded.
This action, however, was like a bolt of lightning striking the sea god on the head.
He... he was threatened by an ordinary person using love letters he wrote in his youth, letters that had long been considered his dark history?
Poseidon, the sea god and a chief god in the divine realm, felt a sudden dizziness, and his divine status was almost unstable.
Looking at Ning Liu's smiling face, he felt not anger, but an unprecedented sense of absurdity and frustration.
Just who is this kid?
"you……"
When the sea god spoke, he found his voice to be somewhat dry.
“Lord Sea God, this junior has no intention of offending you.”
Seeing that the time was right, Ning Liu immediately stopped smiling and became serious.
"But this matter is of great importance, not only concerning Xiao Wu's future, but perhaps... also related to something on your mind, sir."
He stepped forward and said sincerely:
"I have something I'd like to say to you privately, sir. Perhaps after hearing it, you'll change your mind?"
Should I discuss this separately?
The sea god narrowed his eyes, his divine sense scanning Ning Liu back and forth.
The young man in front of me has been strange from the moment he appeared.
Curiosity ultimately triumphed over the majesty of the gods.
He wanted to see what this mortal was really up to.
"Approved."
With a thought, the Sea God instantly enveloped him and Ning Liu in an invisible golden light barrier, isolating them from all sounds and probes.
Outside the light screen, Xiao Wu, Poseidon, and the others who were frozen in place could neither see nor hear any movement inside.
Inside the light curtain, there was absolute silence.
Ning Liu looked at the oppressive Sea God who was so close at hand, took a deep breath, and instead of speaking, chose the most direct and secretive method—mental communication.
A thought was sent directly into the mind of the sea god.
"Lord Sea God..."
"You don't want to never find your A-Yue again, do you?"
Buzz—!
Poseidon's body suddenly froze.
If seeing the love letter before was shocking and absurd, then hearing this sentence was a chilling experience that went straight to the soul.
The golden light on the surface of his magnificent divine armor dimmed instantly, and for the first time, his eyes, which contained the stars and the sea, showed violent fluctuations, as if a monstrous wave had been unleashed.
Ah Yue...
This name, buried deep in his memory, a name that even stirred his soul, had not been mentioned for countless millennia.
That was the gentle, moonlit fisherwoman he met on the vast blue sea before he became a god.
She was the object of his innocent love letter.
It was also his biggest regret in life.
Poseidon, the god of the sea, suddenly raised his head and stared intently at Ning Liu. His gaze no longer held the condescending scrutiny of his superiors; instead, it was filled with an uncontrollable excitement.
"What did you say?"
