Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 608 The Trident of Poseidon Descends

On that nameless island east of the mainland.

With the arrival of Tang Wutong and Dai Mubai, the island began its own plans. The island currently has a total population of approximately five thousand, of whom about three hundred possess soul power. Among them, ten are Soul Douluos and over twenty are Soul Saints.

Under the instruction of Sea God Douluo and others, these high-level Soul Masters are conducting a ceremony to awaken the Martial Soul for everyone on the island.

"This is a blessing for them." Sea God Douluo Chen Haoming nodded in satisfaction. "As long as we give them this kind of treatment that they have never enjoyed before, they will follow us to the death, and even the injustices they have suffered in the past will be forgotten."

"But among these five thousand people, very few can awaken soul power or even cultivate. Sea God Douluo, can we really conquer other continents like this?" Dai Mubai asked.

"Our primary goal is to find the place where you set up the divine test. There must be native inhabitants on that continent, and once we can reveal the light of our divinity, people will naturally come to follow us!" Sea God Douluo said confidently.

"As long as there are followers, there will be believers and supporters. Then, why worry about a lack of fighting power?"

Dai Mubai nodded.

As a second-level deity, he has never enjoyed the blessings of believers; those are powers reserved for first-level gods and above.

If this classification is followed, then second-level deities in the divine realm would be roughly equivalent to generals; they possess combat power but have no followers. Only first-level deities could be considered feudal lords or royalty. Only the God-King is the true emperor of the divine realm.

Tang San's previous ability to control the God Realm Committee meant he could enjoy the blessing of the God Realm's central authority, which allowed him to cultivate at an astonishing speed.

"As long as we can have 10%, which is the combat power of 500 people, that's enough," said War God Dai Mubai with a sigh.

"In the past few days, I sensed that Lord Sea God seemed to have taken action. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a series of sea spirit beast uprisings after the natural disaster," Sea God Douluo said in a low voice. "This shows that Lord Sea God still cares about us. Our island was completely unaffected, while on the other islands, the soldiers from the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Sea Empire were almost completely wiped out!"

"We can see that huge spatial net that appeared in the southern sea the day before yesterday, even from this distance. It must have been the work of a powerful figure from the mainland. The earth-shattering commotion must have crippled them, giving us plenty of time to maintain our development here," Dai Mubai said.

Tang San, humph, don't think I don't know what you're up to. If your daughter weren't here, would you be so kind as to help us out? Dai Mubai thought to himself.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing walked over and said to Dai Mubai, "Tang Wutong seems to be taking over something. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"What is it?" Dai Mubai and Poseidon Douluo looked puzzled as they arrived at a beach on the small island.

Tang Wutong was sitting cross-legged here, facing the sea, where spring was in full bloom... oh no, it was the golden hue on her forehead that was shining.

Then, a golden trident appeared beside Tang Wutong. "This is...!" Sea God Douluo Chen Haoming was immediately shocked when he saw this thing.

Tang Wutong's four spirit rings—one yellow, two purple, and one black—were slowly rotating. Then, those spirit rings changed. It was a special fluctuation transmitted back from the Trident of the Sea God that helped Tang Wutong's spirit rings complete the ascension process, transforming them into three purple and one black rings, increasing their age by five hundred years.

Tang Wutong slowly opened her eyes; she couldn't believe it.

Just now, her father, Tang San, through his connection with the sea, bestowed upon her the Nine Trials of the Sea God. However, the ultimate goal of these Nine Trials does not seem to be for her to inherit the Sea God's position, but rather to gain the recognition and compatibility of the Sea God's Trident.

Her first test was called "Feeling the Wrath of the Sea," which involved witnessing various natural disasters in the sea through Tang Wutong's bloodline as the Sea God.

In fact, Tang San did this to instill in his daughter the idea that the sea is inviolable and that all people or beasts that provoke the sea are enemies.

He needed his daughter to become his missionary, to spread the faith of the sea god in the new continent, in order to cooperate with his... next plan.

In short, what he wanted to do was to isolate Douluo Continent, a place where faith had already shifted, with the sea!

"The first of the Nine Trials of the Sea God has been passed!" A voice appeared in Tang Wutong's spiritual sea, "Reward: Soul Power increased by five levels."

"Since it's the Sea God's ninth trial, why doesn't Daddy want me to inherit the Sea God's divine power? That way, I can help Daddy share the pressure." Tang Wutong asked with a hint of doubt.

"The test your father gave you is to increase your affinity with this golden trident, so that you can control this super artifact. Your divine position is the Butterfly Goddess, which cannot be changed. Therefore, your father can only use the Nine Trials of the Sea God to help you quickly improve your strength. Your Uncle Dai Mubai and Aunt Zhu Zhuqing had divine trials to improve their strength, but your Butterfly Goddess position did not." Tang San's voice came, sounding slightly trembling.

He didn't dare tell his daughter, "I've lost your mommy." Tang Wutong probably already knew what had happened to her grandparents; another twist would only exacerbate the situation...

"Dad, are you alright?"

"It's okay, Daddy's waiting for you." Tang San encouraged his daughter.

"Okay, Daddy. I will do my best to master this Trident of Poseidon," Tang Wutong replied.

She understood in her heart that, without a doubt, the Nine Trials of the Sea God were a special training course given to her by her father, a special version tailored specifically for her!

"Alright, then, I'll grant you your first connection with the Golden Trident. This trident weighs 108,000 jin, but from now on, it will only weigh 108 jin in your hands." Tang San's voice came. "Your second martial soul is the Clear Sky Hammer, and because you were born in the God Realm, the Clear Sky Hammer possesses almost the ultimate power. Now you can control this trident."

Tang Wutong reached out and lifted the golden trident, a peculiar sensation washing over her. Indeed, just as Tang San had said, the weight of the golden trident had changed.

"You must protect this trident, Wu Tong," Tang San solemnly reminded her. "Daddy is recuperating in the Sea God's Temple and cannot leave for the time being. In the future, this trident will also serve as a way for Daddy to contact you."

The Nine Trials of the Sea God that Tang San gave Tang Wutong were similar to those given to Tang Wulin in Douluo Continent III, increasing her compatibility with the super artifact rather than her affinity with the divine position. It was arguably the best way to cheat.
