Chapter 214: Tempting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King

"Are you human?"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's voice was like rolling thunder.

"Yes."

"Then there's nothing to discuss. I'd rather believe in ghosts than trust the lies of humans."

Mentioning humans, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's tone was filled with disdain.

"Did humans dig up your ancestral grave? Why such deep hatred?"

Qin Xiao was speechless.

"Nonsense, we soul beasts don't have ancestral graves!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King retorted in a deep voice.

"Alright, since you don't believe me, I'll be honest."

"Yes, I'm revealing my hand. I'm not here to help you but to use you."

Qin Xiao spread his hands, displaying a straightforward attitude.

"What did you say?"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was suddenly taken aback.

Had humans become so blatant?
They could openly admit to wanting to use others without hiding it at all?
Qin Xiao's unexpected candor caught it off guard.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King not respond, Qin Xiao urged, "Good or bad, you owe me an answer, right?"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was speechless.

It had never been rendered so speechless in its life.

How should it answer?

Should it say it was willing to be used?
That was absurd.

But if the Deep Sea Demon Whale King refused, it was also very curious about what plan Qin Xiao had.

In short, it was very conflicted.

After weighing its options, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King asked, "Kid, why did you come to me?"

It suddenly became curious about Qin Xiao's intentions.

Heh, sometimes reverse psychology works surprisingly well, Qin Xiao thought with a secret smile, then said seriously, "Because the enemy of my enemy is my friend. That's why I came to you."

"Enemy?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was even more curious, "Explain clearly."

In its impression, there were no enemies left on Douluo Continent.

In other words, any human or soul beast that angered it had long been turned into fertilizer.
Qin Xiao nodded, "To be frank, my enemy is the Sea God. I came to help you complete your final evolution, break through the god-level barrier, ascend to the divine realm, and kill the Sea God."

"What did you say!"

"Kill the Sea God?"

Qin Xiao could hear the shock in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's voice.

But that was the reaction he wanted.

"You heard right. I want to help you become a god, ascend to the divine realm, and kill the Sea God. Can you do that?"

"Who exactly are you?"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's expression suddenly became wary.

Qin Xiao smiled slightly, having anticipated this question, and asked with a faint smile, "Have you ever heard of the will of the plane?"

"What did you say? Are you the will of the plane?"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was shocked, its mind recalling an ancient memory.

This memory included a description of the will of the plane.

It could be understood as the Douluo Continent having its own soul.

However, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had always regarded this as a legend. But now, seeing this human implying a connection with the will of the plane, how could it not be shocked?
"Congratulations, you're half right. The will of the plane is me, but I am not the will of the plane."

"You can understand it as me descending into this human body."

Qin Xiao spoke mysteriously.

Yes, this was his plan—to use the existence of the will of the plane to fool the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

He didn't believe the Deep Sea Demon Whale King wouldn't fall for it.

"How can you prove it?"

At this moment, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King asked again.

Qin Xiao merely smiled and uttered two words, "Simple."

The next moment, he extended his right hand, and with a slight flow of soul power, a golden light began to shine from his arm, growing brighter and brighter until the golden light formed a pattern.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, with eyes as large as houses, examined it closely and recognized the pattern on Qin Xiao's arm as a golden branch.

*Chapter 215: Tempting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King*

"Something is off. This mark has a strange energy."

A peculiar light flickered in the eyes of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

The invisible energy radiating from the mark on Qin Xiao's arm made the Deep Sea Demon Whale King feel an unprecedented pressure.

This convinced it somewhat of Qin Xiao's words.

Because it was certain that power was not something an ordinary person could possess.

"So what kind of grudge do you have with the Sea God?" the Deep Sea Demon Whale King asked, puzzled.

"It's simple. The Sea God is ambitious. He discovered my existence by accident and tried to replace me as the ruler of the plane, to control the entire plane."

"Replace you as the ruler of the plane?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was confused. "What's the benefit of being the ruler of a plane? Isn't it better to become a free god, unbound by the plane?"

"Heh, ignorant." Qin Xiao rolled his eyes dramatically and mocked coldly, "Let me ask you, what if it was a world that allowed gods to exist?

If you could control such a world and become its master, don't you think it would be meaningful?"

"What?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was shocked.

According to Qin Xiao, wouldn't such a world be like a miniature divine realm?
"But the Douluo plane isn't that powerful!"

"That's just for now. A plane, like humans and soul beasts, can grow. If it can devour the essence of other worlds, it will grow faster. Given enough time, the Douluo plane could indeed become a realm like the divine realm..."

"Hiss..."

After hearing Qin Xiao's explanation, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King couldn't help but gasp.

It now understood why even the Sea God would covet the will of the plane.

It even had some other thoughts.

Of course, it knew its limits. If the Sea God, who had already become a god, couldn't do it, how could it?

"But why have you appeared only now?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King thought of another question.

It had to be thorough.

But Qin Xiao was more meticulous. He had already prepared his responses on the way.

He sighed, "Ah, it's because the Sea God's power is too strong. After fighting him, I fell into a deep sleep and only recently woke up."

"I see..." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King nodded again. Qin Xiao's words did seem reasonable.

Seeing that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had no more questions, Qin Xiao crossed his arms and looked down at it, "Now, I think you can reconsider my previous proposal, right?"

"So how do you plan to help... I mean, use me?"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King asked in a deep voice.

Unknowingly, its attitude had improved significantly from before.

Qin Xiao could clearly feel that its hostility was far less intense than before.

Being willing to have a proper conversation was a very good sign.
"I already understand your situation. Your cultivation is just one step away from reaching a million years, and your entire body has completed 99% of the divine transformation."

"In other words, you're just one step away from becoming a god."

After hearing Qin Xiao's words, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King nodded its massive head.

"You're right, but that final step is incredibly difficult. I've struggled for a long time and still can't break through that barrier.

Recently, I felt a breakthrough opportunity.

I sensed a surge of divine power on Sea God Island. I suspect there might be a new Sea God's heir there. If I can find and devour that heir, absorbing their divine power, maybe I can complete the final transformation."

As it spoke, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's eyes glowed with hatred as it looked at Qin Xiao, "If you are the will of the plane, you must have also noticed the anomaly on Sea God Island. Do you have the same idea as me?"

What idea? To let you eat me?

Qin Xiao cursed inwardly.

What a joke, he wanted to use the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, not become its bait.

His expression turned cold, "Hmph, is that all you're capable of? Even if a new Sea God's heir appears, so what? Do you think devouring them will make you a true million-year soul beast?"

"It won't?"

"Of course not. How much divine power can an heir have?"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's next response left Qin Xiao speechless.

"Even if it doesn't complete my final transformation, I still want to eat the Sea God's heir, just to feel better."

Damn.

Do you think I'm some kind of comfort food to make you feel better?

Qin Xiao was speechless.

But he couldn't reveal his true identity now, or all his efforts would be in vain.

With a thought, he came up with another explanation.

"Foolish."

Qin Xiao sneered, "If you devour the Sea God's heir, you'll provoke the Sea God's wrath. These lofty gods hold their face and faith in high regard.

If they violate the rules of the divine realm and descend to kill you, what can you do?"

"Uh, this."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was at a loss for words.

Qin Xiao's words reminded it of something.

Thinking carefully, it made sense.

That's why it had never attacked Sea God Island all these years. It was because of the Sea God's protection, and it didn't dare to act recklessly.

"So, what plans do you have for me?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King calmed down and asked softly.

"I've discovered the coordinates of another plane, called the Demon Plane. In that world, there are four powerful demon lords, all with strength comparable to Bo Saixi—I'm referring to Bo Saixi outside of Sea God Island.

If you can devour two of these demon lords, the energy they provide will be enough for you to complete the final step and become the first million-year soul beast on the Douluo Continent."

Qin Xiao spoke leisurely, revealing his true intention.

"Really?"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's voice was filled with delight.

Qin Xiao replied coolly, "Of course it's true. I've even arranged for some humans to pioneer the demon plane.

Their progress has been quite smooth. They've already established a preliminary camp and now just need to expand their area of activity, devouring and killing more demons."

"They've already started?"

"Then I want to try as well."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was overjoyed.

It knew what it lacked but had been unable to obtain it. Now, Qin Xiao's words had provided a clear path forward, and of course, it would not refuse.

Once it became a god, revenge wouldn't be far off.
However, Qin Xiao didn't give an immediate answer.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to use me? Come on, I'm already eager to start."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King shouted.

Qin Xiao: "..."

This guy's way of thinking was simply abnormal.

What kind of nonsense is this?
"Ahem."

Qin Xiao coughed lightly twice before speaking slowly, "It's possible, but you must first make a pact with me. For the next year, you must obey me and acknowledge me as your master!"

"What?"

"That's impossible!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King flatly refused, "Back then, that old guy wanted to make me his mount, and I didn't agree, so we had a falling out. Now you want to ride me? You're no different from the Sea God."

So the grudge between the Sea God and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was over who rides whom...

But who the heck wants to ride you...

Qin Xiao's face darkened, "Rest assured, during this year, I won't force you to do anything or threaten you in any way.

I just need to impose some constraints on you. After all, you are a soul beast who will be coexisting with some humans, and there might be unforeseen problems. I must take precautions.

If you feel uneasy, I can also make such an oath."

Indeed, he only needed this kind of relationship to get through the assessment.

As for truly enslaving the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, it was a good idea, but could such a proud creature ever truly submit?
After hearing Qin Xiao's words, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King fell silent, contemplating.

Qin Xiao knew it was time to give a little push.

"You don't have much time to think. In my plan, it will take only a year to complete the devouring of the demon plane.

If you don't agree, I'll find another partner."

"Can you find someone else?"

"What makes you think I can't?"

Qin Xiao suddenly laughed, "In my perception, there's a place on Douluo Continent called the Star Dou Forest, where I sense some powerful auras.

In the Extreme North, there's also an aura not much weaker than yours. Besides, there are other powerful beings far from Sea God Island..."

"Do you know the beings or soul beasts in these places? Although they might not have a grudge against the Sea God, who would refuse a chance to increase their strength?"

With that, Qin Xiao looked at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King with a faint smile.

Actually, he hadn't sensed these places, but based on the original Douluo story, he knew they existed. Using this information to intimidate the Deep Sea Demon Whale King seemed harmless.

Giving the Deep Sea Demon Whale King some pressure was necessary to motivate it to make a decision.

Sure enough.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King began to panic.

After all, the opportunity was limited, and it feared missing out if it hesitated too long.
