Douluo Continent: If the system had arrived ten thousand years earlier, I would have crushed Tang Sa

This strange phenomenon naturally attracted the attention of Poseidon and the guardians of the sacred pillars immediately.

Poseidon looked at the pale blue phantom with a hint of doubt in her eyes. The sea god hadn't appeared for a long time, so what was this today?

Before long, the guardians of the seven sacred pillars also appeared in the square in front of the Temple of Poseidon. Upon seeing the phantom, they immediately knelt down respectfully.

"Lord Poseidon!"

The residents living on the seven islands can also see that faint, ethereal shape from afar.

In that instant, a surge of excitement welled up in their hearts. In their minds, this must be the manifestation of the sea god!

They knelt down devoutly, chanting prayers to the pale blue phantom, hoping that the sea god would continue to protect this mysterious and vibrant island.

Looking at the phantom of the sea god above, Poseidon nodded slightly and respectfully said, "Lord Sea God, is there something important you need me to do by appearing before you?"

Poseidon then turned around, his majestic voice echoing across Mount Poseidon: "Poseidon, I do indeed have an important matter that requires you to travel to the mainland." As he finished speaking, a divine force entered Poseidon's brow.

In an instant, she understood everything that had happened on the mainland.

She hadn't expected that such a formidable person would appear on the mainland. More importantly, Tang Chen had actually become the King of Slaughter in the Slaughter City, and like her duties, he couldn't leave unless there was something urgent.

Poseidon's eyes darkened slightly. Back then, when faced with the pursuit of Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, she said some angry words: she would choose whoever of them could become a god.

At that time, Qian Daoliu was already a high priest of the Angel Temple. Like her, he could not become a god in this lifetime, and he also had a mission to fulfill, which required him to sacrifice for the successor.

Qian Daoliu indeed understood the implication in the words and left dejectedly.

So her words were mainly meant for Tang Chen; whether or not she became a god was actually irrelevant.

But Tang Chen couldn't bring himself to refuse, so he also left Seagod Island, promising not to come looking for her until he became a god. As a result, she waited for decades.

Now, although she still harbors strong feelings, she knows that a relationship between the two of them may no longer be possible.

Tang Chen couldn't stay on Poseidon Island for her sake, and her feelings for Tang Chen over the years had also faded considerably with the passage of time. She also couldn't leave Poseidon Island for Tang Chen, nor could she leave.

The reason the sea god sent him to the mainland was primarily to convey his sincerity.

To be honest, she didn't quite understand why the Sea God, one of the main gods, would lower himself so much to a Soul Emperor.

Poseidon had some doubts in his mind, then said calmly to the guardians of the Seven Pillars, "You may all step back."

The seven guardians of the sacred pillars first glanced at the sea god, and seeing that he had no reaction, they agreed and the seven left the sea god mountain.

Poseidon then voiced her doubts: "My Lord, there is something I do not understand."

The Sea God smiled calmly: "Do you think that as a deity, why should I lower myself to apologize to a Soul Master who isn't even a Soul Saint?"

Poseidon nodded; she was indeed puzzled.

Poseidon said, "Then you should know that Xiao Tian possesses a secret technique that can temporarily increase his strength tenfold, allowing him to enter the demigod realm. His strength is so great that even you might not be his match. Moreover, from the memory fragments I gave you, you should have seen that he not only possesses a secret technique to enhance his strength but also a secret technique to control weapons. Although the Asura Blood Sword in Tang Chen's hand is not the actual Asura Blood Sword, it still possesses the power of a divine weapon in his hands, and its weight is not much lighter than Poseidon's Trident. Even with your strength, you cannot shake Poseidon's Trident, yet Xiao Tian can!"

Poseidon gritted her teeth and said, "My Lord, how will we know if we don't try?"

Poseidon chuckled softly. He knew what Poseidon meant by "try." A wisp of divine power landed in front of her, transforming into Poseidon's trident.

A voice rang in his ear: "Since you don't believe me, then try it. The Trident of Poseidon weighs 108,000 jin, but in your hands, it weighs 108 jin. Now try it and see if you can lift it with your strength."

Poseidon paused slightly, then chuckled, "If you can lift this Trident of Poseidon, I might make an exception and allow you to participate in the Nine Trials of Poseidon!"

Poseidon thought to himself that if Poseidon could really take it, no matter what method he used, then he could give him a chance, and he no longer wanted to search for the successor.

He'd been waiting for that ridiculous god-making plan of the Asura God for ages. Let whoever wants these messy affairs of the God Realm have them.

After inheriting the divine position, he had more time to devote to his cultivation and to travel around.

Boom—

This unexpected joy made Poseidon's body tremble with excitement!

Who can understand the despair she felt at being unable to become a god?

Even with the power of a demigod, her life was bound to the small Seagod Island. As the high priestess, she guarded this sea area while waiting for the arrival of the successor, and then she would sacrifice herself.

Others envy her abilities, but she feels quite helpless about it.

Now that the Sea God is saying he'll make an exception and let her participate in the Nine Trials of the Sea God, how could she not be excited!

Poseidon took a deep breath, looked at the trident of Poseidon in front of her, and slowly stretched out her hands, her slender yet powerful fingers gradually approaching the hilt of the trident.

The moment her skin touched the trident, an immense, boundless power surged towards her like a raging tide, attempting to repel her. But Poseidon did not flinch; her arms began to tremble slightly, yet she gripped them firmly.

She mobilized all her soul power, which flowed wildly through her meridians like a surging river, converging on her arms.

With a low shout, her soul power suddenly erupted, attempting to lift the Trident of the Sea God.

However, the trident only swayed slightly, as if mocking her overestimation of her abilities. Instantly, fine beads of sweat appeared on Poseidon's forehead, sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the ground.

She bit her lower lip until it bled, but the light in her eyes grew even more intense. She exerted her strength again, this time pouring out all the power she had accumulated over many years of cultivation without reservation.

Just then, with all its soul power poured into it, the Trident of Poseidon finally moved a tiny bit.

However, that was all; Poseidon was unable to lift the Trident of Poseidon, and the output of her soul power gradually weakened.

No! Poseidon hardened his heart, looked at the nine spirit rings—eight black and one red—that had risen within him, and shouted, "Explode!"

The next moment, Poseidon's spirit rings, starting with the first ten-thousand-year spirit ring, shattered!

puff!

Despite the damage caused by the exploding spirit rings, Poseidon absorbed as much energy as possible into his body to strengthen himself!

In the end, after losing nine spirit rings, she raised the Trident of the Sea God at the last moment, and a pale smile finally appeared on her face.

She lasted less than three seconds before the Trident of Poseidon was slammed heavily into the ground, creating a large crater. Her aura was extremely weak, clearly indicating that she had suffered damage from the shattered Soul Ring, but she didn't seem to care at all.

Because she succeeded!
