Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 21: The Heart of the Sea God

At Qibao Hotel, in a private room, after several rounds of drinks and dishes,

The waiter cleared the table, brought over a pot of tea, and then quietly left the private room.

"Mr. Zhongli, after learning that you had become a guest retainer in my household, my father bestowed upon you a million gold soul coins and ten boxes of jewelry."

At this point, Xue Qinghe took out a golden card from his new storage soul tool and placed it on the table.

This is a savings card, a savings card that is universally accepted throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

It's quite strange, really, that Douluo Continent has debit cards and card readers.

However, other technologies are not very advanced.

Most of the soul tools used today are remnants from ancient times.

For example, the lighting and amplifying soul guide devices in the Soul Arena.

The ten boxes of jewelry were also taken out one by one by Xue Qinghe and placed next to Paimon.

What Xue Qinghe couldn't understand was Paimon.

She clearly doesn't have a storage soul tool on her, yet touching a physical object can achieve the same effect as a storage soul tool?

Could it be that this little guy's abilities are related to spatial attributes?

If that's the case, then Paimon will be amazing when he grows up!

Before Zhongli could speak, Paimon rubbed his hands together and quickly put away the box containing the jewelry.

"We're rich! We're rich!"

"Zhongli, we won't..."

Suddenly, Paimon seemed to realize something, and the smile on his face froze.

"Zhongli spends money extravagantly; this amount of gold soul coins shouldn't last long, right?"

Thinking back to the time when he went shopping with Zhong Li, his behavior gave Pai Meng a headache!

"Please thank your father for me."

Zhongli cupped his hands in greeting and said calmly.

Snow Night: He bestowed so many gifts upon me, yet he wouldn't even address me as Emperor Snow Night!

Zhong Li silently put the storage card on the table into his pocket.

Sometimes, you still need to spend money to buy breakfast or something similar.

I just don't know if he'll forget to bring it.

Zhong Li really has no concept of money...

Zhongli thought that Xueye's gifts had ended, but unexpectedly, "Xue Qinghe" took out another item, and he was stunned when he saw it.

"Wow, what's this?"

Paimon quickly flew to Xue Qinghe's side, his big eyes fixed on the item.

It emits a light blue glow, is diamond-shaped, and shows no signs of polishing, as if it were naturally formed.

As Zhongli gazed at it, it also gazed at Zhongli.

The two looked at each other in silence.

"???"

"Paimon, this is the national treasure of the Heavenly Dou Empire, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover!"

"It's a soul tool that has been preserved from ancient times!"

The Heavenly Dou Royal Family was aware that the Vast Ocean Universe Cover could be used for both attack and defense.

However, they were unaware that this was an item passed down from the sea god.

The direct descendants of the Heaven Dou royal family do not possess particularly strong soul power, nor do they have any formidable combat strength.

Therefore, this treasure has always been kept hidden away from them.

"Father Emperor gave it to Mr. Zhongli..."

As for what came next, Xue Qinghe did not say it, but asked Zhongli to save the Tiandou Empire when it was in danger.

How could she possibly say such a thing?

"Um……"

Zhongli fell silent. This Vast Ocean Universe Cover was a very important opportunity for Tang San. Without it, even with twin martial souls, Tang San would not have been able to obtain the Nine Trials of the Sea God.

According to Poseidon, the successor must gain the approval of the Heart of the Sea God and master the Heart of the Sea God in order to pass the Nine Trials of the Sea God.

Without the Heart of the Sea God's assistance, obtaining the Nine Trials of the Sea God is tantamount to suicide.

He would naturally not allow his successor to seek death.

Without the heart of the sea god, even if you are exceptionally talented and have the potential to become a god, He will only subject you to the eight trials of the sea god.

"I've already absorbed the Yin-Yang Wells of Ice and Fire into my inner world, so whether I get the Heart of the Sea God or not doesn't seem to matter much, right?"

"Shura will likely guide Tang San to obtain the divine positions of other deities..."

After helping Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan resolve their poisoning issues, Dugu Bo gave Zhongli the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well as a reward.

Ah Ping knows the art of inner vision, so how could Zhong Li, as the ancestor of all immortals, not know it?

To Dugu Bo's astonishment, Zhongli carried away the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well...

"Qinghe, do you know what this is?"

Zhongli did not immediately put away the Heart of the Sea God, but instead asked Xue Qinghe.

It's quite strange, actually.

Logically speaking, Xue Qinghe is not yet a successor of the Angel God, because she has not yet undergone the divine test; at most, she can only be considered a descendant of the Angel God.

Her talent is among the best in the entire Douluo Continent, yet, even with such talent...

Why did the Heart of the Sea God not actively claim ownership of the item even though it was in her possession?

Is it that "Xue Qinghe" is not worthy?

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe was taken aback and looked somewhat confused.

This is what she brought; she naturally knows what it is. She even explained it to Paimon just now.

Zhong Li's sudden words made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Please explain, sir."

Xue Qinghe cupped his hands in greeting and said.

"This is the heirloom of Poseidon, the god of the sea, the Heart of the Sea God."

"Boom!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe was struck dumb.

She didn't quite know who Poseidon was at the moment.

But, Poseidon...

god!

"Once you gain its approval, you can go to Poseidon Island, inherit the Poseidon's legacy, and become the new Poseidon."

"Hiss~"

Xue Qinghe gasped, his expression changing drastically, and then looked at the Heart of the Sea God in his hand.

The Heavenly Dou Royal Family actually possesses such a treasure!

Zhong Li... he actually knows him!

Wait a minute, since Zhongli knew that this was the Heart of the Sea God, why didn't he just accept it and instead gave it to her?

Isn't he afraid that he'll take it back himself?

This is a golden opportunity to become a god!

Suddenly, Xue Qinghe seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became very strange.

In the dream, it was Tang San who became the Sea God!

Could this have been Tang San's destiny?

Thinking of the dream, Xue Qinghe glanced sideways at Zhong Li.

With a single move, this guy could suppress all sorts of powerful beings, including angels, demons, sea gods, and asuras, leaving them utterly powerless to retaliate.

It's understandable that he looked down on the Sea God's legacy and said it outright.

After a moment's thought, Xue Qinghe made a decision.

Taking the Heart of the Sea God back might lead to it ending up in Tang San's hands for some inexplicable reason in the future. It's better to give it to Zhong Li, since he won't have any use for it anyway.

Could it be that he would inherit the legacy of a god weaker than himself?

Obviously, this is impossible.

After taking a deep breath, Xue Qinghe finally spoke, "Thank you for informing me, sir."

"Sir, your current strength has reached the Title Douluo level. If you have the Heart of the Sea God's assistance, you might one day break through to level 100 and become a god!"

Upon hearing this, before Zhongli could say anything, Paimon frowned, glanced at Zhongli, and subconsciously...
