Chapter 414 Poseidon and Neptune
But Zhou Qing and Tang San felt that things were not that simple.
After all, Ariel clearly has a disgusted attitude towards the mermaids of today, which is definitely not the right view to have towards one's own kind.
Zhou Qing, in particular, felt a sense of shock when he learned that the mermaid clan once had a king named Neptune.
Neptune was the god of the sea in Roman mythology in his previous life.
Poseidon is the god of the sea in Greek mythology.
Although according to the rules of Douluo Continent, soul beasts can never become gods, Neptune, who is half human and half sea soul beast, may be able to awaken his martial soul like a human. However, because he has part of a sea soul beast, he may not be recognized by the God Realm.
"That would be easy to say if that were the case."
Ariel sighed and slowly recounted the events of 20,000 years ago, "When I was born, a human named Poseidon had already cultivated to level 99, the best in the world. In order to break through level 100 and condense the godhood, he began to travel the sea and spent a thousand years fighting against the sea soul beast tribes in the sea one by one."
"And the sea soul beasts are purer than the soul beasts on land. After being defeated, the Sea God does not kill them, which naturally makes them submit to him."
"And the last race he conquered was the mermaids."
"I am the daughter of the sea. I grow very slowly. In a thousand years, I have only grown up a little bit. And Poseidon has already challenged my father Neptune—"
"My father didn't want to accept it, because the mermaids live in the deep sea and don't have much interaction with humans. At most, some naughty young mermaids would go to the shallow sea to observe human life, or have simple exchanges with humans on some islands who don't know what martial spirits are.
But if Poseidon wants to gather the faith of the sea soul beasts and become a god, conquering the mermen is the most critical link, because 20,000 years ago, the mermen were the race that most of the sea soul beasts in the sea believed in, and even many 100,000-year-old sea soul beasts still held important positions in the palace of the mermen...similar to the social relationship between humans."
Zhou Qing and Tang San both understood this.
A hundred thousand year level soul beast possesses human intelligence, and mermaids are born with human intelligence, so it is normal for them to form a ruling model similar to that of humans.
"In order to gain the submission of all the sea soul beasts in the sea, Poseidon must gain the submission of the mermaids."
Ariel sighed, "Even if my father didn't want to fight, Poseidon threatened to kill the other mermaids. Neptune had no choice but to fight."
"Poseidon is such a despicable person, is he worthy of the word 'God'?"
Although what Ariel said was highly subjective and not necessarily true, Tang San still felt ashamed of Poseidon's behavior as described by Ariel.
Is that God?
It's clearly evil!
Ariel nodded vigorously: "That's right, except for his strength, he has nothing worthy of the title of 'God'."
"Neptune lost."
Zhou Qing guessed the result.
"Yes, he was defeated and killed by Poseidon. Even his soul bones were destroyed, erasing all traces of his existence."
Ariel clenched her fists, and even a streak of red blood oozed out, which showed her anger.
"At that time, I clearly remember that after my father's defeat, he was willing to surrender, but Poseidon still killed him."
"There is only one reason: in the minds of the sea soul beasts at that time, Neptune was the master of the ocean and the sea god in the minds of all sea soul beasts over ten thousand years old. My father couldn't become a god because his cultivation was only 920,000 years, which was still a long way from a million years. The faith of sea soul beasts can be used to condense godhood, but it can't directly improve cultivation."
"Moreover, this world does not allow non-human creatures to become gods. Even the mermaids who have half human blood cannot do it."
Zhou Qing believed 70% of what he said.
After all, from the perspective of condensing the godhood and the throne, it is necessary to draw on the power of faith. Poseidon can conquer the sea soul beasts in the sea by force, but to conquer the hearts of the sea soul beasts and make them believe in him from the bottom of their hearts, he must first destroy the original faith of the sea soul beasts.
Neptune!
Therefore, in order to become a god, even if Neptune chooses to surrender after being defeated, he must die.
Surrender is merely submission to force. It does not mean conviction or that the surrendered person will willingly dedicate his faith.
Only when the original idols in the hearts of the sea soul beasts die completely can new idols be established in their minds and even in their hearts.
That's what Poseidon did!
"So, you fled from the mermaid clan since the moment Neptune was killed?" Zhou Qing asked.
"No, Poseidon's martial spirit allows him to control all the water in the world. Where can I escape to?"
Ariel sighed again.
The words of submission that Neptune said before his death made all the mermaids submit to Poseidon, and she had to go and meet him at that time.
Poseidon was a peerless Douluo and he realized Ariel's difference at first sight. Although he didn't know that she was an elf born directly from the sea, he felt something in his heart and wanted her to become his follower.
Ariel hated Poseidon for killing her father, so how could she agree?
But Neptune's biological daughter Nicole agreed.
reason?
Nicole was jealous of Neptune's favor towards his adopted daughter Ariel, and she resented her biological father and even more Ariel.
Ariel's understanding and well-behaved nature further annoyed Nicole.
When Neptune was alive, she didn't dare to be presumptuous, but when Neptune died, she was not sad at all and was the first mermaid to surrender to Poseidon.
With Neptune's direct bloodline taking the lead, the other mermaids naturally did not dare to disobey... After Poseidon condensed his godhood, he realized Ariel's true identity. Seeing that she had resentment towards him, he stripped her sea blood and gave it to Nicole.
Nicole, who possessed the "blood of the sea", was transformed into the Sea Princess, and a killing order was issued against her.
For the past 20,000 years, she had been hiding in the deep sea. It was only in the last few hundred years that she came to the shallow sea area, met and got to know humans, began to understand and learn from humans, and secretly bought a spirit awakening stone, conducted her own experiments, and awakened the Halberd of the Sea.
At that moment, Ariel realized that even though her sea bloodline was stripped away by the sea god, she was still the darling of the sea.
Daughter of the sea!
This identity is not determined by blood. The moment the sea gave birth to her, she was completely remembered by the sea.
The sea itself has its own will!
After becoming a god, Poseidon wanted to wipe out the entire sea, but even as a sea god, he could not kill the Daughter of the Sea.
Because he is the god of the sea!
Even though he condenses the power of faith of the sea soul beasts, he is not the real controller of the sea.
Therefore, if he dared to kill the mermaid, he would be rejected by the sea.
Her "blood of the sea" was stripped away and given to Nico, making her the Sea Princess. The blood of the sea is still there, in the sea, just a different person.
