Chapter 1: Chapter 1: The Birth of a Legend
The vast and sacred Sea God Island.
Inside the empty Sea God Temple, Bo Saixi, a stunning woman dressed in a bright red robe, her long sea-blue hair cascading down her back, sat cross-legged in deep meditation. The temple, usually tranquil, was now filled with an unexplainable tension.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes—eyes deeper than the ocean itself. A pained expression flickered across her flawless face as tears rolled down her cheeks. The moment they touched her lips, they tasted like wax—flavorless and bitter.
Her hands, usually steady and filled with boundless divine power, trembled. A searing heat surged within her stomach, as if a volcano was on the verge of eruption. The pain intensified, her body shuddering violently, her vision blurring, and in the next instant—darkness almost consumed her.
At that moment, across Sea God Island, seven blood-red beams of light shot into the sky, merging into a single point above. As the crimson glow faded, an awe-inspiring golden radiance descended, engulfing the entire island.
The forests, the mountains, the vast ocean, the Seven Sacred Pillars, and even the towering Sea God Temple—all were bathed in shimmering gold. The divine brilliance lingered for several minutes before it rushed toward the temple like a tidal wave.
Within the temple, Bo Saixi, her face now pale from exhaustion, watched in shock as a golden orb materialized before her. The glow gradually dimmed, revealing a tiny, palm-sized baby at its center.
On the infant's forehead, where all the golden light had converged, an intricate trident symbol gleamed with divine authority.
Slowly, the baby opened his eyes. His crystal-blue pupils shimmered with an indescribable nobility, but as he tried to lift his small hand toward his forehead—he froze.
Where is my hand? Where is my head? Where are my legs?
Why am I so small?
Then, realization struck.
In an instant, his entire world collapsed.
"No! No! This can't be happening!"
A wave of sheer panic engulfed him. He had worked so hard—struggling in darkness, signing in day after day, for three hundred days—all to obtain the ultimate god-tier reward.
And now, after all that effort... he was reborn as a baby?!
God, can I restart this?!
Even if I signed in for 300 days and received the ultimate reward, what good is it if I'm a helpless infant?!
Just as he spiraled into despair, a voice as gentle as the sea breeze echoed in his ears.
"This... this trident mark... Could it be? Was this child chosen by Lord Sea God?"
The baby's gaze shifted. Though he couldn't move much, he caught sight of a woman—a vision of elegance and warmth—her face still weary from labor.
My mother?
He suddenly realized something even more mind-shattering—the dark, suffocating space he had spent 300 days inside... was her womb!
The thought nearly made him faint.
Instead of being reborn into a powerful adult body like other transmigrators, he had become someone's child?!
As he struggled to process his fate, space distorted within the temple.
In the blink of an eye, seven figures appeared.
Their powerful auras filled the hall—men and women with unique, almost beastly appearances surrounded him.
A cold killing intent surged as one of them gripped a long, gleaming sea spear.
The baby's expression stiffened.
Damn! Are they trying to kill me the moment I'm born?!
But strangely, he felt no fear.
He possessed the ultimate god-tier reward. Even in a baby's body, he was no ordinary infant!
Just as the tension reached its peak, Bo Saixi spoke, her voice filled with authority despite her exhaustion.
"Stop! This child is the offspring of Lord Sea God! He was born from my body!"
A deathly silence followed.
The seven figures stiffened, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"What?!"
"My lady... This child... is he and the Lord Sea God…?"
Their gazes flickered between Bo Saixi and the infant, their expressions filled with shock, suspicion, and reverence.
However, upon seeing the divine trident symbol on the baby's forehead, all doubt vanished.
One by one, the seven dropped to their knees in solemn reverence.
The baby looked at them, his tiny brows twitching.
Idiots.
If he weren't physically incapable of moving, he would've smacked them all for nearly trying to kill him just seconds ago.
Bo Saixi took a deep breath, composing herself.
"Rise. This child's birth is the will of Lord Sea God. From today onward, he is the Young Master of the Sea God Temple. His life and death are tied to the future of Sea God Island."
The seven figures bowed deeply once more, acknowledging his divine status.
Bo Saixi continued, "For his safety, his identity must remain a secret until he turns six. Until then, each of you—Seven Sacred Pillars—will serve as his teachers."
She hesitated for a moment before adding, "Now... what shall we name him?"
The baby's heart sank.
Oh no.
As expected, their suggestions were catastrophic.
"How about Poseidon?"
"I think Poseidon Coral sounds good."
"What about Poseidon Tuna?"
"He's small, maybe Poseidon Jellyfish?"
"Poseidon Starfish!"
His tiny body shuddered.
Are you trying to name me after SEAFOOD?!
Finally, Hai Long, one of the calmer Sacred Pillars, suggested, "My lady, how about simply Poseidon?"
Bo Saixi nodded. "Very well. His name shall be Poseidon."
The baby sighed internally.
Poseidon? Really?
Both he and Namikaze Minato had 'Bo' in their names, yet Minato got a cool, legendary-sounding name, and he was stuck with Poseidon?
He could already foresee the endless jokes about his name in the future.
But before he could continue lamenting his fate, Bo Saixi issued her next command.
"Haenyeo."
A mermaid girl among the seven immediately stepped forward. "Yes, my lady!"
"Your city has the simplest hierarchy. From now on, you will oversee the Young Master's care and nourishment."
The mermaid girl hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"My lady, while mermaids can raise him, we... don't produce human milk. Should we consider feeding him some octopus juice instead?"
The baby's soul almost left his body.
OCTOPUS JUICE?!
I'M THE SON OF A GOD! CAN YOU AT LEAST FEED ME SOMETHING NORMAL?!
