Above the Endless Blue – Skies Over Sea God Island
The ocean below shimmered under the light of twin moons. For generations, Sea God Island stood untouchable—protected by divine laws, ancient spirit beasts, and the might of the Sea God's inheritance.
But tonight, the tides shifted.
Ren stood atop a hovering shadow construct in the form of a colossal winged serpent—his cloak snapping in the salty wind, eyes fixed on the sacred island. Around him, floating armadas of dark shadow ships surged forward, each brimming with soldiers, assassins, soul masters, and beasts loyal to his growing empire.
The Slaughter Court, Beast Empress Legion, and Blade Court followed behind, the three major factions now united under Ren's banner.
Behind him stood his newest companions—Bibi Dong, her regal aura restored, and Xiao Bai, the 100,000-year-old Soft-Boned Rabbit turned sea-spirit empress, whose loyalty Ren earned through both strength and sincerity.
"You're really going to take the Sea God's domain head-on?" Xiao Bai asked, her voice half-wary, half-impressed.
"No," Ren replied coolly, "I'm going to take it apart… piece by piece."
Sea God Island – Inner Sanctuary
Tang San, clad in oceanic blue, stood before the Sea God's Trident, his expression stormy. He could feel it—a pressure rising over the sea like an unstoppable tide. His connection to the Sea God inheritance trembled.
"He's coming," Bo Saixi muttered, her brow furrowed. "And he brings the abyss with him."
They had prepared for divine trials. They hadn't prepared for Ren.
Battle Unleashed – Shores of the Divine
When Ren descended, the skies darkened unnaturally.
Shadow beasts swarmed the shores, tearing through outer defenses as soul masters clashed with Ren's vanguard. Despite their power, the Sea God Island guardians found themselves outmaneuvered. Every strategy they deployed, Ren had already seen—his Pocket Hunting Dimension allowing him to simulate hundreds of battle scenarios in mere seconds.
Ren himself walked through the battlefield, untouched, as if he were merely strolling through the waves.
When Tang San finally appeared, standing atop the Sea God Hall's steps with Trident in hand, lightning cracked the heavens.
"You think you can steal everything?" Tang San growled. "This island… the god's power… even the hearts of women you don't deserve?"
Ren gave a slow, mocking smile.
"You call it stealing. I call it correcting history."
Their clash sent ripples across the ocean. Sea versus shadow. Divine inheritance against abyssal mastery.
But it was more than brute strength—Ren's soul burned with two primal forces: Shadow Monarch Power and the Pocket Hunting Dimension, which fed him every weakness, every opening, every possible future in which he could win.
And win he did.
Aftermath – Throne Beneath the Waves
Ren stood inside the Sea God Hall, now bathed in dim violet light. At his side were the guardians of the sea—some broken in battle, others surrendered, and a few who willingly chose him over Tang San.
Among them: Bo Saixi, the High Priestess herself, her once defiant gaze now filled with awe. Xiao Bai, resting her head on Ren's shoulder, smiled with serene satisfaction.
And Tang San, defeated, cast into the deep by the very sea he once commanded.
"The ocean answers to me now," Ren said, his voice low and resolute.
Final Scene – A Divine Echo
Far above, in the God Realm, deities stirred.
The Sea God's mantle, now tainted by shadow, sent shockwaves through the divine plane.
"He's not just conquering…" a voice whispered. "He's ascending."
