Chapter 44: Xiao Bai, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Defects — The True Face of Sea God Island!
[Demon Lord (furious laughter): I destroyed the balance of the Endless Sea? How exactly did I do that? Because I'm powerful, large, and eat a lot? That's your Sea God Island logic?
You claim I'm evil—what have you done for the sea?
Let's talk about the Evil Demon Orca Clan. They're your neighbors, yet you never eliminate them. They're the ones actually slaughtering soul beasts and destroying balance.
With the support of the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan and your Sea God Island strength, wiping them out shouldn't be hard, should it?
The Evil Orcas are mortal enemies of the Great White Sharks, yet Sea God Island still lets them run free. Is that how you "maintain order in the sea"? Pathetic!]
[Sea Horse Douluo (angry): We have to protect the Sea God Pillars. Otherwise, anyone could attempt the Sea God Trials and disturb His divine presence!]
[Demon Lord (coldly): Protecting the Pillars? What a joke. Will the world collapse if you step away from your "divine posts" for a while?
This duty was handed down by your Sea God—but what about his promise to protect the sea? Isn't that more important?
But it seems you've never truly taken that seriously. That's the truth about your Sea God and Sea God Island.
He claimed he had to eliminate me to preserve the sea's balance—but in truth, it was just a convenient excuse.
And as for the Orcas—why eliminate them when they help keep the Great White Sharks loyal to you?
Without enemies, how could you keep your island's so-called sacred status intact?]
Upon hearing this, deep in the waters near Sea God Island, Xiao Bai, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, fell into silence.
As the Sea God's former mount, she had once helped him battle the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Even though she had realized the whale king wasn't as evil as the Sea God claimed,
She never dared to question it—for her clan's sake.
Without Sea God Island's protection, they could never defeat the Evil Orcas. Her people would face extinction.
But now… as the Demon Whale King said,
Sea God Island clearly had the strength to help eliminate the Orcas.
So why hadn't they?
Could it be… they deliberately left the Evil Orcas alive,
So the Great White Sharks would have no choice but to continue guarding Sea God Island?
Xiao Bai didn't know. But she was deeply confused.
[Bo Saixi (furious): Nonsense! The Sea God Pillars are essential for divine trials. Without guardians, anyone could attempt them, disrupting the Sea God's peace!]
[Demon Lord (coldly): Fine. Let me ask something else. @Xiao Bai — as the Sea God's mount, you should know this: at the beginning, the Sea God was weaker than me.
But then he slapped the label of "evil" on me and used the faith of you brainwashed soul beasts and masters to ascend—after that, I wasn't his match anymore.
Yet even when he had the power, and the Evil Orcas were far weaker than me, he still didn't wipe them out. Why? You were his mount. You should've been important to him. So why didn't he eliminate your mortal enemies before ascending?
Don't say he couldn't find them. He was the Sea God—the ocean itself was his eyes and ears.
No, the truth is obvious. He wanted to enslave your Great White Shark Clan. He left the Orcas alive so you'd have no choice but to stay loyal and keep guarding Sea God Island.]
In the waters around Sea God Island,
Xiao Bai, already shaken by the previous exchange, felt her faith utterly crumble.
She didn't want to believe it—but the more she thought, the more it made sense.
The Sea God had the power to destroy the Orcas—but chose not to.
Instead, he let the Evil Orcas thrive, threatening her people—leading to her brother's death at the hands of the Orca King.
If the Sea God had destroyed them, would her brother still be alive?
He promised to protect the sea's balance, didn't he?
But between the Demon Whale King and the Evil Orcas, it was the latter who were the real threat.
He should have helped.
He could have helped.
But he didn't.
Xiao Bai had served him, fought beside him—and received nothing in return.
And now her clan had spent thousands of years guarding Sea God Island without a single benefit.
Then came the Demon Whale King's proposal.
He had seen her hesitation and struck again:
[Demon Lord (coldly): So, Xiao Bai, have you seen through the Sea God's hypocrisy yet?
You once served him—but did he ever appreciate it? After all, we're soul beasts. He was human.
Join me. Bring your clan to my side, and I will help you wipe out the Evil Orcas.]
He'd been burned before by public slander. But now he had the livestream platform.
The first step to redeeming his reputation?
Turn the Sea God's guardian beasts against him.
Then, as the "evil" whale king, he would do what Sea God Island never did:
Eradicate the Evil Orca Clan.
Let the world see:
Who's truly righteous—and who's truly evil.
Xiao Bai was shaken. After a long silence, she replied:
[Xiao Bai (hesitant): Deep Sea Demon Whale King… are you telling the truth?]
When he saw her response, the whale king was overjoyed.
She was actually considering it!
[Demon Lord: Of course. Unlike humans, we soul beasts don't play both sides. I keep my word.]
[Bo Saixi (furious): Xiao Bai! What are you doing?! Are you going to betray the Sea God?!]
[Xiao Bai (coldly): Betray? Heh… Our Great White Shark Clan has served Sea God Island for millennia.
But in all that time, we've faced constant threats from the Evil Orcas. My own brother died at their hands.
Yet Sea God Island never once helped us. Never once offered to eliminate our enemies.
We've given you everything. And received nothing in return.
Why should we keep sacrificing ourselves for you?!
Why?!]
[Bo Saixi (furious): You…!!]
Bo Saixi was livid—but powerless.
The truth was, the Evil Orcas had been spared on the Sea God's orders—
To serve as future trial targets for divine assessments.
But she couldn't admit that.
Not to Xiao Bai—and definitely not in front of a livestream audience.
If the world learned how Sea God Island treated its guardian soul beasts, their reputation would be ruined.
And as Bo Saixi stood there fuming, unable to offer even a single word of reassurance—
Not a single promise of revenge for the Great White Sharks—
Xiao Bai's last bit of hope died.
She had once loved and respected Sea God Island.
But now, it was clear:
They had never cared for her people.
With a bitter smile, she let out a powerful underwater call—the summoning signal for her entire clan.
She was taking the Demon Soul Great White Sharks to join the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
And with so many humans and soul beasts watching in the livestream—
She believed the whale king would keep his word.
