The Sky Curtain swelled with golden light as Will of Heaven's voice echoed across the Douluo Continent and the God Realm."Thus Arecus knew these new worlds were not yet ready to support life. So he began forging their very foundations."
[Arceus's eyes blazed with golden power. With a single wave of his hand, three colossal beings materialized from the void, their forms radiating primordial might.]
[Groudon – God of Land:A massive, bipedal, dinosaur-like soul beast armored in thick red segmented plates. Its gray underside contrasted with jagged white spikes running along head, body, and tail. Four razor claws gripped each hand; dozer-like blades tipped its tail; three claws anchored each foot with gray markings beneath. Blue stripes glowed within armor seams only when power surged. Groudon could summon intense droughts to evaporate water and trigger volcanic eruptions to forge new continents—personification of the land itself.]
[Kyogre – God of Sea:A colossal whale-like soul beast with two enormous pectoral fins, each bearing four white square-shaped nails. Deep blue body, white chin with tiny spikes, oval white spots above small yellow eyes shadowed in black. Red stripes encircled chin, eyes, dorsal fins, and torso—glowing when power brimmed. Short pointed tail, tattered back fins trailing four parts. Kyogre dragged down torrential rains, expanding oceans and raising tides—the "maker of seas" who quenched droughts and nullified fire.]
[Rayquaza – God of Sky:A giant green serpentine soul beast resembling a living missile. Red-tipped rudder wings on shoulders and body, matching fins at tail tip. Yellow ring-like symbols spanned its length with an extra ring crowning its head. Two clawed limbs, two long horn-like structures atop its head, shorter jaw horns. Small yellow eyes with black pupils, prominent pink gums, two fangs gleamed. Rayquaza stabilized the atmosphere, ensuring skies could sustain life—and mediating balance between land and sea with divine reason.]
Will of Heaven narrated:"These three conceptual beings are Groudon, God of Land; Kyogre, God of Sea; and Rayquaza, God of Sky. Together, they lay the foundation of all worlds. Groudon creates continents through drought and magma. Kyogre fills oceans with rain. Rayquaza readies the atmosphere for life."
Gods Realm
God of Destruction, Hui Mie, muttered. "So these are the beings who made all worlds livable."
Xie E, God of Evil, chimed in. "Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza. Three more conceptual beings revealed."
Suddenly, the air grew heavy as Poseidon, God of the Seas, slowly stirred. His wounds from the lightning tribulation had healed, but as he watched the Sky Curtain display Kyogre's colossal form, his eyes widened in sheer horror. He yelled, voice cracking, "How can it be him? Kyogre?!"
The attention of every God King snapped toward him. The pressure of their divine auras crushed down on Poseidon, making him sweat profusely.
"Talk," Hui Mie commanded sharply. "Tell us what you meant by 'It cannot be him'."
Poseidon gulped, his throat dry. Asura, the God of Slaughter, glared daggers. "Speak now, and we may help you. If you don't…"
Poseidon hesitated. If he revealed the truth, the faith of sea soul beasts and humans alike would shatter. His entire divinity, built on that faith, would crumble.
Seeing his silence, Xie E turned to the Sky Curtain. "Will of Heaven, please explain the relationship between Kyogre and Poseidon."
Will of Heaven echoed across the realm:
"Before Poseidon became a god, he was an unremarkable fisherman named Bo Sai Dong. He lacked the talent even to become a Titled Douluo. But by sheer luck, he discovered the Temple of Kyogre—a magnificent sanctuary that originally stood where Sea God Island is now. It was worshipped by countless sea soul beasts, offering them safety. Even the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was a constant visitor.
When Bo Sai Dong ventured inside, he awakened Kyogre himself. Kyogre sensed potential in him, awakened his body and Martial Soul to their full peaks, and granted him soul techniques. This was the birth of Poseidon. Under Kyogre's guidance, he grew powerful. More importantly, Kyogre advised him to gather the faith of sea soul beasts, which allowed him to ascend as God of the Seas.
Will of Heaven:"But Poseidon grew paranoid. His godhood relied on faith. He feared if his followers learned that Kyogre turned a useless fisherman into a god, they would lose faith. So, he used his divine powers to seal the Temple of Kyogre. Not stopping there, he tried to kill Kyogre's followers to leave no witnesses.Kyogre intervened, terrifying Poseidon. The same happened with the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, a faithful follower of Kyogre. When the Whale King learned the truth and attacked Poseidon 'in the name of justice,' Poseidon tried to kill him 'for crimes.' Again, Kyogre intervened and scared away Poseidon away."
The God Kings stared at Poseidon with utter disgust, as if looking at a piece of filth.
Will of Heaven continued:"Also, Poseidon has no descendants. Bo Saixi's true ancestor was Bo Yunhai, the Tribe Leader who cared for Kyogre's Temple. Poseidon manipulated their memories, making them believe they were his bloodline. The rest of the tribe became the so-called 'Children of the Sea' and residents of Sea God Island. Had it not been for Kyogre's threat, Poseidon would have wiped out the entire tribe. Also, Kyogre could easily broken away from Poseidons seal and killed Poseidon, but he didn't because Arecus told him it was to early to intervene with mortal world. That was the only reason Poseidon is alive today."
Sea God Island
Bo Saixi's eyes burned with fury. Her hands clenched into fists as the truth thundered in her mind. "Bastard!" she screamed, her voice shaking the island.
The Seven Children of the Sea reacted with equal rage. Their ancestors were not Poseidon's lineage—they were the guardians of Kyogre's Temple, betrayed and erased by a fraud.
Sea Dragon Douluo roared, "That thief stole our history! Our God is Kyogre, not this impostor!"
Bo Saixi's gaze turned to the Sky Curtain, where Kyogre's majestic form swirled with red stripes. For the first time, she felt the true pull of her divine destiny—not as Poseidon's Priestess, but as Kyogre's chosen guardian.
"Lord Kyogre," she whispered, tears of rage and relief mixing. "We are yours."
The island trembled, not from Poseidon's fading power, but from the awakening of the True God of the Seas.
Spirit Hall, Hall of Offering
Golden Crocodile Douluo's eye widened in shock. "No way… I know Groudon."
Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and the elders shouted in unison, "What?!"
Qian Daoliu stepped forward urgently. "Explain yourself."
Golden Crocodile Douluo took a breath. "You know I hail from a tribe in the East, correct? Our name is the Huo Shan Tribe. We worshipped the God of Land. My mother was the High Priestess of that temple. I saw Groudon's statue there with my own eyes.
"History records that our ancestors were nearly swallowed by a massive tsunami. A soul beast intervened—stopping the wave and the raging flames in the river, saving my tribe. Time and again, this beast protected us. I always believed it was a mere 10,000-year soul beast acting on a whim of empathy. Now…" He gestured to the Sky Curtain. "Now I see it was a God protecting my people."
The hall fell silent, stunned.
Chrysanthemum Douluo, Yue Guan, broke the tension. "My Lady, shall we dispatch scouts to check the place? Keep it under observation?"
Qian Daoliu roared, "Absolutely not! Do you not understand? Lord Groudon has a personal bond with the Huo Shan Tribe. If he senses threat from Spirit Hall, we cannot withstand his wrath."
Yue Guan paled instantly. "I… I apologize, Elder. I did not think it through."
Qian Daoliu waved a dismissive hand.
Bibi Dong, eyes sharp, added, "If the Huo Shan Tribe worshipped Groudon, then surely other tribes worshipped Kyogre and Rayquaza as well."
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan
Yu Yuanzhen stared at the Sky Curtain in awe, his dragon bloodline humming. "What a majestic being. I can feel the bloodline suppression even from here."
Yu Luomian nodded. "Indeed. Lord Rayquaza is the God of Sky."
Suddenly, Yu Luomian paused. "Brother, I think I've heard that name before."
Yu Yuanzhen and the surrounding elders froze. "Where?" he demanded.
"In the Historical Records," Yu Luomian recalled. "Before our sect rose to power, we were a small tribe. We prayed to a soul beast god named Rayquaza at a place called the Sky Temple. The records said the god felt a bond with our tribe. That's all I recall."
Yu Yuanzhen shot up. "Bring those records to me—now!"
A withered voice stopped him cold. "Clan Leader, I fear you won't find anything more."
All eyes turned to Elder Yu Jian, the keeper of the Historical Records and the oldest living elder.
Yu Yuanzhen narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"
Yu Jian sighed heavily. "Because our former Sect Master—the 29th, Yu Xiaogang—destroyed all records relating to it. Only a few fragments were saved by another elder at the time."
The name Yu Xiaogang struck Yu Yuanzhen like a blow. Pain and humiliation flared. That was same name as his second son, who born with a mutated spirit and mere 0.5 innate soul power. Yu Yuanzhen had hoped Yu Xiaogang's mutant spirit was a negative mutation and that absorbing a dragon-related soul ring would awaken his bloodline. But Yu Xiaogang, without consultation, absorbed a completely different ring based on his own flawed theory, permanently severing the dragon bloodline.
Worse still, Yu Xiaogang later went to Spirit Hall and from there tried to flee with Bibi Dong, after that failed he then attempted to marry Yu Luomian's illegitimate daughter Yu Erlong. Yu Yuanzhen never punished him—hence the strain between him and his brother.
Yu Yuanzhen shook off the memory, voice clenched. "Why did the late Sect Master destroy those records?"
Yu Jian answered gravely. "He felt our history of praying to soul beasts was tainted. He sought to erase it."
Anger rippled through the clan.
Yu Yuanzhen gritted his teeth. "We lost a chance to gain favor with Rayquaza, the God of Sky—one who stands above even the God Kings."
Yu Luomian placed a calming hand on his shoulder. "Brother, anger serves no purpose now. Let us check the remaining records. If the Sky Temple is mentioned, and if our bloodline ties to Rayquaza are confirmed, we can still strive to earn the God's favor."
Yu Yuanzhen nodded slowly. "Do it."
