Douluo Continent: Changing just one word ruined the entire character's persona.

Sea Dragon Douluo walked out from the side, and as he passed Ye Lin...

He nodded slightly to Ye Lin before walking out.

Without the imposing figure of the Sea Dragon Douluo blocking the way,

Only then could everyone see the scene inside the main hall. Inside this hall, there were no superfluous buildings.

There are only eight platforms.

The seven outer platforms form a circle, each with a different design, and their shapes are similar to the seven platforms where the Seven Pillars of Poseidon are located.

It's like a miniature version of the Seven Pillars platform.

However, there are no sacred pillars here, only the seven platforms.

And in the center of these seven platforms, there exists an even larger platform.

It can be seen precisely between the two outer platforms in front.

This platform has three levels and is several meters higher than the seven surrounding platforms.

The platform is circular, with the area decreasing towards the top.

Due to the darkness inside the hall, one could only vaguely see a long, upright stick in the center of the platform at the top.

However, it is not entirely regular in shape, with a larger, conical top and a completely black body.

Poseidon sat cross-legged in the center of the first level of the platform, with his palms facing upwards, each hand forming a strange gesture, and his eyes closed.

"Tang San, come forward." Poseidon's calm voice echoed in the empty hall.

"Yes," Tang San replied, striding forward.

His eyes were fixed calmly on Poseidon, his heart as still as a deep well.

If Poseidon wanted to deal with him, it would be a piece of cake.

Now that we're here, there's nothing to worry about.

However, deep down, Tang San didn't like the feeling of having his fate in the hands of others.

Passing through the outer platform,

Eight people stepped forward at the same time.

They walked until they were five meters away from Poseidon before stopping.

"Greetings, senior."

Several people bowed in greeting.

Poseidon accepted the courtesy of the three men.

Ye Lin noticed that the Poseidon he saw this time seemed somewhat different from the one he had seen a few days earlier during the sixth exam.

If Poseidon at that time felt as profound as a vast ocean to him, then at this moment, Poseidon was just like a kind old man.

Although she still looks so young, elegant and beautiful.

However, her eyes, which were filled with the marks of time, were also filled with kindness.

She pondered, perhaps this was a kind of indifference towards her fate.

Poseidon's fate was to sacrifice herself to open the door to Tang San's ninth trial.

Poseidon smiled kindly:

"Before you begin your seventh test, let me tell you a story about the ocean. Do you know how big the ocean is?"

Tang San shook his head blankly; this question was beyond his knowledge.

Poseidon said, "The area of ​​the sea is four times that of the land, which means that the sea is equivalent to four Douluo Continents in size."

"In this vast and boundless ocean, there are far more creatures than on land."

"If these marine creatures were to lose their restraint and continue waging wars, the situation would become even more chaotic than on land."

"Many, many years ago, the sea was in such chaos. As the saying goes, troubled times produce heroes. Among the many sea spirit masters, a genius of extraordinary talent emerged."

"He single-handedly, with all his might, traversed every corner of the ocean, wielding a trident."

"With his immense strength and unparalleled charisma, he conquered one sea race after another." "After a thousand and one years, he finally unified the ocean and was revered as the Sea God by all sea creatures. He created an immortal myth."

"Sea Soul Masters are also human, senior. Can humans live for a thousand years?" Tang San asked.

Poseidon smiled kindly.

"Call me High Priest. Ordinary humans certainly can't live that long, but when a person's strength breaks through to the Title Douluo level, they can have a lifespan of about three hundred years."

"After that, with each level you advance, you can live an additional hundred years."

"In other words, someone at my level can live for thousands of years."

"And the Sea God back then conquered the sea with his strength of level ninety-nine."

"Speaking of which, I have to mention your great-grandfather. Apart from Lord Sea God, he is the person I admire most."

"Great-grandfather?"

Tang San was stunned for a moment, somewhat confused.

Who was my great-grandfather?

"Your great-grandfather's name was Tang Chen, and he was the first prodigy of the Haotian Sect."

"A level 99 Limit Douluo, unmatched in ground combat power..."

Poseidon suddenly thought of Ye Lin and added,

"Not necessarily."

Tang San was stunned for a moment.

The ancestors of the Haotian Sect actually had such an amazing figure!

Poseidon recounted a portion of Tang Dynasty's history.

Tang San then gained a certain understanding of Tang Chen.

She asked, somewhat puzzled, "But isn't your strength just like that?"

Poseidon gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"What? You think I reached level 99 entirely on my own?"

"No, you're wrong. I don't have that ability. I'm only a little over a hundred years old, how could I possibly have cultivated to level ninety-nine?"

"Don't assume that just because you've already made a breakthrough, the road ahead will be easy."

"Once your soul power exceeds level 95, according to normal cultivation, the time required to advance to the next level is based on a hundred years."

"It takes 100 years to go from level 95 to level 96, and another 100 years to go from level 96 to level 97."

"Unless there is a special opportunity, it would take at least two hundred years to reach level ninety-seven."

"However, this is not the most difficult part. There should be quite a few strong Soul Masters on your continent, but I can assure you that apart from Qian Daoliu and your great-grandfather, none of them have been able to break through level 97."

"That's the absolute bottleneck."

"Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a human to cultivate to level ninety-nine."

"Because it takes a full three hundred years to go from level ninety-seven to ninety-eight."

"And the level from ninety-eight to ninety-nine requires a full six hundred years of arduous cultivation without sleep."

"I am able to have my current strength because of the legacy of my predecessors."

"Only your great-grandfather, like the Sea God of yesteryear, reached level ninety-nine entirely through his own cultivation."

"Although I don't know how he and the Sea God did it, your great-grandfather reached level ninety-nine three years earlier than the Sea God did back then."

"He is also the only one who has the hope of becoming a god through his own power."

For Tang San, what Poseidon was saying was a secret among secrets.

She didn't interrupt, but listened quietly. (End of Chapter)
