"If that's the case, how powerful must this man be?"
"His strength, his methods, his wisdom—he is probably a top-tier existence in every aspect, perhaps even surpassing a God-King!"
"How could one person possibly have so much energy to simultaneously orchestrate so many earth-shattering schemes?"
Gu Yuena looked at Bi Ji with a hint of reproach in her eyes, as if she thought Bi Ji's idea was too absurd.
"How could you think that?!"
"This is simply unrealistic."
Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and the other soul beasts nodded in agreement with Gu Yuena's view.
Di Tian said in a deep voice:
"Bridget, you're overthinking it."
"If such a person truly existed in this world, he would have already unified the continent and even conquered the realm of gods. Why would he need to hide behind the scenes?"
"I also think it's impossible."
The Red King shook his three heads and said in a muffled voice.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Brigitte realized her words had been a bit too outlandish, and blushed, explaining softly:
"I...I also think that's a bit unrealistic."
"I just saw that the people ranked sixth to third on the power list are all controlled by someone, so I just made a guess."
"After all, this is too much of a coincidence."
Indeed, if that person truly exists, their power is so terrifying that it's unimaginable.
Seeing that Biji was no longer insisting, Gu Yuena said no more.
She looked up at the sky again, a playful smile playing on her lips.
"However, no matter what, this continent is getting more and more interesting."
"It's one thing if there's a mastermind behind Mo Family City and Miaoyin Pavilion, but that's just a mechanism and intelligence."
"But Wu Zetian had a man behind her, and Haiyue also had a man behind her?"
"Interesting, really interesting."
Gu Yuena's gaze deepened as she looked into the distance.
"Now there are only two spots left on the power ranking."
"Besides our Star Dou Great Forest, which will undoubtedly occupy a place, who will be the remaining force?"
"Could that first-place winner also have some amazing secret?"
...
The images flow.
Poseidon Island.
This is a sacred and solemn sea, where the light of the sea god envelops the entire island.
And in the secret realm deep within the Sea God Temple.
A vast and boundless surge of divine power suddenly erupted.
Tang San, dressed in a blue and gold robe and holding the Trident of the Sea God, slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were as deep as the sea, and he was surrounded by a sacred radiance.
Just now, he finally completed the Nine Trials of the Sea God and inherited the position of the Sea God.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Tang San laughed loudly, his laughter filled with arrogance and confidence.
"I've become a god!"
"I, Tang San, have finally become a god!"
Feeling the surging divine power within him, like a tsunami, Tang San felt that the world was now completely under his control.
However, when his gaze pierced through the secret realm and fell upon the list on the sky, the smile on his face instantly froze.
"Third place on the power rankings, the Haiyue Empire?"
As Tang San chewed on these words, his originally sacred face instantly became twisted and ferocious.
"Haiyue...Cai Wenji..."
"It was them!"
Tang San's knuckles turned white as he gripped the Trident of the Sea God, and his eyes blazed with deep-seated hatred.
"Damn the Sea Moon Empire!"
"Those mad dogs!"
Recalling his journey to Seagod Island, Tang San still feels lingering fear.
At that time, they encountered the fleet of the Sea Moon Empire.
The other party has no regard for martial ethics or the demeanor of a strong person.
They would charge in a suicidal manner as soon as they met. Those Soul Masters seemed to have been brainwashed, and they would bite off a piece of their flesh even if it meant death.
That crazy self-destruct tactic almost wiped out the entire Shrek Seven Devils.
What Tang San found most unbearable was that in that chaos, Xiao Wu almost perished in the explosion while trying to save him.
This grudge was etched into Tang San's very soul!
"You almost caused me to lose Xiao Wu. If I don't avenge this, I will be unworthy to be the Sea God!"
Tang San gritted his teeth, the killing intent in his eyes almost tangible.
"Wait until I settle the score with you."
"The Haiyue Empire, and that so-called Empress Haiyue, will all pay the price!"
Tang San took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.
Although the Sea Moon Empire ranks third, he is now a true god.
He didn't believe that a mere mortal kingdom could withstand divine power.
"After I consolidate my strength for a short while, I will emerge from seclusion and conquer the Douluo Continent."
Tang San snorted coldly, his gaze seemingly piercing through the vast ocean, looking towards the mainland.
"Qian Yu... and Qian Renxue."
"It's time to get rid of the Spirit Empire, this stumbling block."
"At that time, no matter what trump cards you have, in front of me, Tang San, you will be nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs, which I can destroy with a wave of my hand!"
...
The mysterious sea lies beyond.
The rest of the Shrek Seven Devils, along with Bai Chenxiang and others, gathered in the square, gazing up at the sky.
Compared to Tang San's confidence, their reaction was more one of shock.
"What? The third-ranked power ranking is actually the Haiyue Empire?"
Oscar's mouth dropped open, his face filled with disbelief.
"That crazy country actually ranked third?"
Ning Rongrong also covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.
"How is this possible..."
"While the Sea Moon Empire is mad, is it really that powerful?"
Xiao Wu stood to the side, looking at the introduction on the screen, her face also filled with disbelief.
"I never expected the Haiyue Empire to be only third."
"If the Haiyue Empire, which possesses a half-step God-King, can only rank third, then what terrifying beings must the second and first place be?"
Ning Rongrong nodded, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
"Yes, the Haiyue Empire is so powerful, I really don't know what forces could rank second or first."
"Is there someone stronger than a half-step God-King?"
Just then.
Dai Mubai, who had been silent all along, suddenly slammed his fist heavily into the stone pillar next to him.
"boom!"
The stone pillar trembled, and fragments of stone flew everywhere.
Dai Mubai's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the two characters "Haiyue" on the sky, his gaze filled with a murderous intent.
"Those mad dogs from the Sea Moon Empire!"
"My Zhuqing... my Zhuqing is still in their hands!"
In order to cover their retreat, Zhu Zhuqing unfortunately fell into the hands of the Haiyue Empire.
His fate remains unknown.
Seeing the Haiyue Empire so powerful now, Dai Mubai's heart was filled with despair and anger.
Seeing this, Ma Hongjun quickly patted Dai Mubai on the shoulder and comforted him:
"Boss Dai, don't panic."
"Didn't the screen say that Haiyue is a woman?"
"Since she's the Empress, she definitely has no interest in Zhu Qing. At most, she'll just lock her up as a hostage or a maid or something."
"Zhu Qing will definitely be fine."
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's expression softened slightly.
Yes, Haiyue is a woman.
As long as she doesn't fall into the hands of those lewd and debauched men, Zhu Qing's innocence can at least be preserved.
Even so, I swear I will not rest until I avenge this humiliation!
