"How is this possible?!!" Poseidon's face was filled with disbelief.
A young man not even twenty years old possesses a godhood? And judging by the aura of this godhood, it even seems to be a self-created godhood like that of Yun Ming. This shouldn't be possible!
Yun Ming held the Atlas Divine Spear high, his tone calm.
"Nothing is impossible."
The ethereal, transparent Atlas Divine Spear shone with a brilliant golden light, bringing unprecedented brightness to the originally dim seabed world. At the same time, circles of golden ripples spread outward with Yun Ming as the center, pushing away all the seawater and actually carving out a waterless space in the depths of the ocean.
Watching Yun Ming through the water mirror, Poseidon could no longer sit still. He stood up, took a step forward, walked out of the Sea God Divine Hall, and arrived before the main gate, facing the Cangming Abyss Prison directly.
He felt the godhood fluctuations of a unique nature emanating from Yun Ming, and his heart was even more shocked. What was this faint aura of world creation? Was this the kind of power a third-rank god could possess?!!
He had traversed endless ages and seen much, but he had never encountered such a thing!
Yun Ming was unaware of the immense shock he had brought to Poseidon; he was currently preparing his World-Breaking Technique.
The pure destruction of the two God-Slaying Soul Guidance Cannons, the opening and repairing of the Dead Realm, the annihilation Spear Intent of the Soul Breaking Spear, and all of Yun Ming's insights regarding destruction flashed before his eyes. Accompanied by these realizations, the golden light on the Atlas Divine Spear began to dim eerily, gradually replaced by a gray, demonic light of dead silence, desolation, and decay. When the gray of the demonic light completely replaced the Sky Support Light, Yun Ming opened his eyes.
Those eyes were like deep, bottomless dry wells, gazing indifferently at everything around him without the slightest emotional fluctuation. They had lost their former vitality and radiance, replaced by a deathly stillness, as if time itself had frozen here. Yun Ming's hair moved without wind, and he spoke in a calm, murderous tone.
"Light of Breaking the Sky, go!"
As the words fell, the gray light coiled around the body of the Atlas Spear exploded rapidly, sweeping across the Cangming Abyss Prison at high speed. Wherever the gray light passed, everything in the seabed world seemed to have been paused; all currents and the movement of seaweed fell into an instant stagnation. But after the stagnation came an irreversible collapse.
A sharp light flashed in the depths of Poseidon's eyes. He ignored the direct view of the base array of the Cangming Abyss Prison. Wherever the gray light passed, the array patterns dissolved root by root, as if fire had met water, being rapidly erased. Watching everything before him, Poseidon suddenly realized.
'So that's it, the power of pure world destruction! No wonder he dared to raise the stakes with me.'
Yes, just as Poseidon saw, Yun Ming's Light of Breaking the Sky was the power of world destruction he had comprehended after reversing the Sky Support Light and supplementing it with the true intent of annihilation; it was specifically designed to destroy the structure of a world. Unlike previous techniques and power-based solutions, the Light of Breaking the Sky belonged to the mutual destruction of conflicting laws against the Cangming Abyss Prison.
The array shattered, the Cangming Abyss Prison collapsed, and Yun Ming returned to the front of the Sea God Divine Hall.
Looking at the man before him—dressed in a white robe with gold trim, wearing a trident-shaped ring on his head with a water-blue gemstone embedded in the center, his expression shocked, and his appearance identical to the Martial Soul of Bo Saixi—Yun Ming easily recognized his identity and spoke.
"Your Excellency Sea God, please treat me well in the future."
Hearing Yun Ming speak, Poseidon also came back to his senses. He gave a light cough, feigning composure, and resumed his usual majestic demeanor.
"A bet is a bet. Since you kid succeeded, this god will naturally keep his promise!"
Although he, Poseidon, was inherently petty by nature, he had been a god for so many years and still valued his reputation; he would not stoop to breaking a promise! Furthermore, Yun Ming's understanding of the laws of world destruction was so profound that his insights into the Dao of the world must be extraordinary. Perhaps he really could bring him a big surprise.
Receiving confirmation from Poseidon himself, a kind smile appeared on Yun Ming's face.
"As expected of the Sea God, you are truly magnanimous!"
"I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
Poseidon looked at Yun Ming, who had suddenly started praising him again, and a strange sense of joy flashed in his heart. Being recognized by Yun Ming so suddenly made him feel a bit unreal, but he immediately cleared away this shameful emotion. He, the Sea God, was the greatest in the world; that was a fact. How could he feel joy because of the slight recognition of a mortal!
"...Pleasant cooperation," Poseidon replied.
"Then," Yun Ming continued, wanting to ask if it was convenient for Poseidon now. Since he was already here, it was the perfect time to discuss the grand plan of opening the God Realm. But the moment Yun Ming uttered a single word, he felt a blur before his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was back in his room.
Yun Ming: "?"
What happened? Why was he suddenly kicked back? Weren't they chatting quite well? Uh... at least in Yun Ming's view, they were chatting quite well, but Poseidon didn't see it that way.
Having been in the God Realm for so many years, aside from laughing and joking with the Angel God and occasionally playing mind games with Asura, Poseidon had actually been away from schemes and intrigues for a long time. He had just realized whether he had been played by Yun Ming. And he had even experienced such shameful emotions; he needed to sort things out.
Bringing Yun Ming to the God Realm was no problem; the previous chat about gods, although Yun Ming's words weren't very pleasant, didn't seem to be a problem if it was Yun Ming saying them—a person with a godhood really couldn't be expected to revere gods. Then, as they talked about becoming a god and the God Realm, the conflict intensified, and the two began to diss each other. Yun Ming stopped being subtle and directly mocked him to his face, provoking his anger, and then he wanted to punish Yun Ming, leading to Yun Ming proactively raising the stakes. Poseidon, long out of touch with human affairs, felt he had forgotten something and couldn't recall it for a moment.
In fact, he had indeed forgotten something. He forgot that the first time Yun Ming "presumed" to talk back to him, he had just wanted to send Yun Ming away. If Yun Ming hadn't done something real at that time, he would have been sent away, and where would he find a Sea God later! As for whether he feared Poseidon taking action, it was just an illusion; he feared nothing. As long as Poseidon didn't strike in person, he, possessing a godhood, could certainly retreat unscathed.
After pondering for a short while, Poseidon finally understood the crux of the matter. This couldn't help but make him sigh at how boring the God Realm was—so boring that even his brilliant divine brain had short-circuited. After figuring this out, Poseidon finally conveyed information to Yun Ming again.
A day in the God Realm is a year in the Human World. Poseidon had only been thinking for a short while, but for Yun Ming, it was already three days later.
On the evening of the third day, Yun Ming was handling his daily official duties when he suddenly felt a divine light descend from above, seeking to merge into the center of his brow.
Sensing the familiar fluctuations of Sea God divine power, Yun Ming did not resist and allowed it to merge. As the divine light entered the center of his brow, a golden trident pattern slowly emerged, and at the same time, a message of divine sense was transmitted.
The general content could be summarized as: "At midnight tonight, meet in the Sea God Illusion."
Yun Ming put down the documents in his hand and smiled slightly. It was finally about to begin.
