Douluo: From Rusted Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 177 Poseidon's Reverse Operation

When their group was brought to the edge of the ring-shaped sea around the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, they didn't even need to pass through the test of the ring-shaped sea; the Seahorse Douluo, who was standing beside the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, flew over.

"Welcome, Divine Child and your friends, to my Sea God Island. The High Priest has already arranged everything for you. Please follow me to the Seahorse Pillar to participate in the Sea God's test for you."

Haima's attitude was very respectful, as if he had known Ji Wuming for many years.

Walking at the front, Ji Wuming, unaware of what was going on, asked softly,

"Why are you and the people of Seagod Island treating me with such respect, senior?"

"The Sea God once said that a Soul Master wielding an extremely special Sea Spear would eventually come to the most sacred Sea God Island in the ocean. We searched the entire sea but could not find your trace until we encountered the Fierce Biting Shark that you had wounded..."

Listening to Sea Spear Douluo's narration, Ji Wuming finally understood the whole story. It turned out that the Sea God had been paying attention to him for a long time, perhaps even earlier than the Asura God.

However, he had gone to the Killing City beforehand and had not gone to Poseidon Island, which led to Poseidon Island taking in the Fierce Shark and the subsequent search for its whereabouts.

The six people behind Ji Wuming were also somewhat confused. Shouldn't their Brother Ji have been a member of Seagod Island long ago? How could he still maintain an attitude of complete ignorance regarding certain events?

Despite their doubts, they were still happy for Ji Wuming to receive such attention from the gods.

Upon arriving at the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, the seahorse eagerly anticipated the trials that the Sea God would soon bestow upon Ji Wuming.

"Divine Child, step forward and stand before the Seahorse Pillar, and accept the Sea God's final test for you."

Ji Wuming, however, did not do so, because he firmly believed in one thing: if he really took action, the next step would be for the Asura God to control the Killing God Domain within him, either torturing him or causing the Killing God Domain to self-destruct, turning him into a complete cripple.

After all, the gods do not like a half-hearted and weak-willed successor.

The seahorse wasn't angry that Ji Wuming hadn't stepped forward. As long as the divine child stood before the Sea God Pillar, the Sea God would bestow a test.

The group stood still, waiting for a long time, but no strange movement occurred, not even the pale golden light pillar that appeared in the Yellow-level test.

"What, what's going on?"

Seahorse Douluo was stunned by what he saw. Could it be that the person in front of him was not the chosen son of the Sea God?
That shouldn't be the case. Ever since the Divine Child set foot on the island, his every word and action has been closely monitored by the High Priest. If he really wasn't the Divine Child, the High Priest should have informed me of this beforehand.

…………

Just as the seahorse and the others were wondering, inside the Divine Realm Committee located in the Divine Realm,
"Good lad, your willpower is quite firm. No wonder you are the successor that I, Shura, have chosen."

At this moment, the God of Asura was staring at the scene displayed in the lower realm's monitoring mirror. Fortunately, his successor did not respond and walk out, otherwise he would have surely killed him.
Even if someone is perfectly suited to one's divine position, one should never pass on one's legacy to someone who is always looking for more than what one has.

Poseidon, who was also observing the events in the mortal realm, said with slight indignation,
"Shura, this matter is not up to you. Now that he has come to Seagod Island, he will be my successor."

“Poseidon, this child is my chosen successor to the divine throne. In thirty years, he will inevitably inherit my divine position. If you want to find a successor, you can choose one of these children. Why do you insist that I take him away?” The God of Asura said bluntly. He had finally found a successor with compatible attributes and a suitable personality, which was not easy in the first place. It was absolutely impossible for a first-level god-sea god to try to trap his successor as the God of Asura.

"Shura, you yourself said it was just a pre-arranged decision. After all, that child has not yet undergone your Nine Trials of Shura, which means he is not the successor of any god, and the position of Sea God is still possible."

Although the position of the Asura God is the position of the God-King, while Poseidon's sea god status is only a first-level god, it can be concluded from the child's previous behavior that he is not someone who would make a choice for a higher godhood.

Meanwhile, the God of Destruction, seeing that the two high-ranking officials of the divine realm, Shura and Poseidon, were still arguing endlessly on this issue and unable to reach an agreement, felt extremely distressed.

"Please calm down, both of you. There is actually a compromise: give that child a second martial soul, making him the first child in history to have two divine positions in one body. This would satisfy your request, Shura, and also take care of Poseidon. Wouldn't that be good for everyone?"

"impossible!"

Poseidon and Shura stared at each other, and roared in unison.

However, after hesitating for a few seconds, the dislike they felt for each other eased considerably.
"The solution proposed by Destruction is not bad."

"Anyway, we've long had the idea of ​​retiring from these positions and traveling the universe, so why not take advantage of that child's appearance and do it together?"

After struggling for days, they finally found a reasonable way to escape their predicament.

“Poseidon, that child’s spear-type martial soul already has my God of Slaughter Domain. He is destined to use this martial soul as the vessel for my divine power and inherit my divine position. As for your divine position vessel, you’ll have to figure out a way yourself!”

"This is already my biggest concession. If you still want to fight me, I will shatter your godhood and make sure you never find a successor on the Douluo Continent."

Upon hearing this, Poseidon retorted in an annoyed tone.

"You don't need to remind me, I will arrange a second martial soul for him myself."

Regarding the arrangement of Ji Wuming's second martial soul, Poseidon could not use divine power to modify his body and trigger the activation of the second martial soul.
If he were to use divine power, he would be violating the rule that gods should not interfere in the affairs of the mortal realm. However, arranging a second soul ring for Ji Wuming would be a relatively easy task.

Meanwhile, on Poseidon Island, in front of the Seahorse Pillar, Ji Wuming was preparing to react when the bright sunshine suddenly turned dark.
A golden-red light descended from the sky, enveloping Ji Wuming completely. Two voices echoed in Ji Wuming's mind.

"Now I bestow upon you the position of preparing for divine examination, where two gods will come together."

Before Ji Wuming could even refuse, two faint red and gold symbols, resembling weapon-like divine inheritance marks, appeared above his head under the divine light.

However, unlike those who inherit a divine position and possess a divine mark, Ji Wuming's mark seems to be nonexistent and does not affect his daily life.

"Without your methods, how could you possibly come up with a reason for preparing for the divine examination?"

At this moment, Ji Wuming was extremely frustrated. The promised thirty years had not only not arrived, but he also had an additional sea god preparatory test.
