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

Xiao Tian looked at the illusory image of the sea god without much surprise, and smiled faintly: "Sea God, isn't this your usual trick? Since Poseidon is the high priestess of Sea God Island, you must have left your divine consciousness on her, not to mention that her Sea God Martial Soul was bestowed upon her by you."

Poseidon couldn't help but praise, "You are indeed clever, but this little bit of divine sense won't allow me to remain here for long. What Poseidon said is true. I wonder what you're thinking? I can sense that your strength has undergone a tremendous change compared to last time. Now, even a second-level god might not be your match, right?"

Although the sea god before him was not the true form, he was still a first-level main god. He could clearly sense Xiao Tian's strength, which was not at all on the same level as the one in Wuhun City last time.

Xiao Tian chuckled: "This is somewhat unexpected. Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is now useless, so he certainly doesn't have the points to let you pass on your inheritance. But I want to know, why would the God of Asura suddenly change his mind? Tang Chen's appearance was his doing, right? It's impossible that Tang Chen just happened to become the King of Slaughter."

As far as I know, the King of Slaughter in the Slaughter City is the Nine-Headed Blood Bat.

Poseidon: ? ? ?

If that's the case, how did Tang Chen suddenly become the new King of Slaughter?

"Hehe, that nine-headed blood bat was actually Tang Chen. However, Tang Chen was parasitized after completing the eighth trial of the Asura God, and thus failed the Asura God trial. Originally, the Asura God had given up on him, but as you probably guessed, because of Tang San and Tang Chen's own talent, he became the new King of Slaughter, and he killed the nine-headed blood bat."

"Then why has the God of Asura abandoned Tang San again? How long has it been?" Xiao Tian said calmly.

"Hehe, that's naturally because of me, the Sea God. Tang San is basically useless now. The position of God of Asura is originally meant to be passed on to the number one person in the lower realm. I, as an observer, see things more clearly than he did. He figured it out later. So, are you willing to accept the inheritance of the God of Asura?"

Xiao Tian shook his head: "Sea God, don't rush to reconcile with me and the Asura God. Even if we do reconcile, we'll still have conflicts later."

Poseidon: "Hmm?"

Xiao Tian released his seven spirit rings and said calmly, "Take a look at these spirit rings on my body."

The Sea God's pupils contracted as he looked at the uniform array of brilliant gold spirit rings. Most importantly, he could tell that these spirit rings were not obtained from spirit beasts or divinely bestowed spirit rings, but rather formed on their own.

How is this possible? Isn't this something only a god-level powerhouse can do?

Yes, their gods also condense a divine ring every ten levels of divine power they gain, but they do not need to hunt soul beasts.

There aren't that many god-level soul beasts for them to hunt, so there are no beast gods in the god realm.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Poseidon's expression turned serious.

Xiao Tian said calmly, "I don't want to do anything. Sea God, you should know that the power imbalance between the Soul Masters and Soul Beasts in the lower realm has begun. I have human companions and Soul Beast companions by my side. I want to do something."

"Of course, this matter won't do you any harm, or rather, your gods, but well, I can't tell you right now. So, are you planning to settle things like this, or will you come down to the mortal realm with the Asura God to fight me?"

Poseidon stared at Xiao Tian's face for a long time. Could it be that Xiao Tian had a trump card to fight against a God-King level expert? With his current strength, the Fusion Ring used by Martial Soul City was useless against him.

However, since it wouldn't harm them, well, the sea god smiled and said, "Alright, I'll trust you this once. Tell me, what do you plan to do?"

Xiao Tian said calmly, "Promise me two things, and we'll call it even. First, when Qian Renxue is about to take the ninth angelic test, you'll help her open the dimensional gate between the lower realm and the divine realm."

"No, that's against the rules!" Poseidon shook his head and refused outright.

Both the angel god and the sea god are gods of faith, and their high priests and high officiants are required to sacrifice themselves.

Only a god-king level deity like the Asura God can open the gate to the divine realm for the successor without a great offering.

This is because he left behind enough divine power in the City of Slaughter, and because the City of Slaughter is constantly filled with killing, the blood energy can also provide some assistance.

"You definitely can. Don't think I don't know. You and the Angel God are mortal enemies. You definitely have some tricks up your sleeve in the Hall of Offerings, trying to stop Qian Renxue from becoming a god, or at least make her godhood imperfect. Am I right?"

Poseidon's expression changed slightly: "You know that too!"

Now, even the Sea God had to re-evaluate Xiao Tian. In front of him, the Sea God felt as if he had been completely seen through.

"Never mind how I know. You can't touch Qian Renxue. You already possess thirty percent of the Angel God's authority of light. Isn't that enough? Don't sever the last thread of her inheritance. Your little bit of divine power should be enough to activate it, right?"

Poseidon:

"Okay, I agree. What's the second thing?"

"Go tell the God of Asura that although I don't want his divine position, I'll ask him to reserve it for me. I'll find him a successor, someone who, while not as strong as me, will certainly not be weaker. The God of Asura should be quite eager to retire, right?"

Poseidon's lips twitched, and he shook his head helplessly: "I really can't agree to this, but I'll talk to him about it."

"Alright, you can leave now if there's nothing else."

Now that everything was settled, Xiao Tian adopted a gesture of seeing the guest off, showing no leniency towards the Sea God.

Poseidon:

The Sea God didn't bother arguing with Xiao Tian. He already had a guess in his mind about who Xiao Tian wanted to give the Asura God position to—wasn't it just to give it to a few people around him?

Excluding Ning Rongrong (support type) and Zhu Zhuqing (agility type), only Xiao Wu (power type) is suitable.

Her strength is indeed much greater than Tang San's, and her skills are quite comprehensive. It's just a matter of whether the God of Asura will agree.

But this is beyond his control. I guess the God of Asura doesn't care about anyone except Xiao Tian right now.

However, the power of the Asura God has reached the limit that the Asura God position can achieve. Unless the inheritance is bestowed, he will remain at this level for his entire life. Moreover, as the God of Law Enforcement, he has too many things to do.

Then, the phantom of the sea god disappeared.

Xiao Tian looked at the somewhat dumbfounded Poseidon and smiled, "Senior Poseidon, what are your thoughts?"

"Huh?" Poseidon finally snapped out of her daze at Xiao Tian's seven brilliant golden spirit rings. This... is he even human?

No wonder the sea god wanted her to come here!

"Aren't you Tang Chen's old flame? Now I've made an enemy of the Haotian Sect, and Tang Chen and the others are already on my kill list. Now that the Asura God and the Sea God's intentions are clear, there's no need for me to wait any longer."

"You can still stop me now."

Poseidon:

How could she dare?

Poseidon shook his head and said, "The Sea God has promised to pass the throne to me, but I need a new High Priest. He told me to go find Tang Hao."

Xiao Tian: ? ? ?

Haha, this Poseidon is interesting, he really knows how to have fun.

Poseidon's talent was indeed sufficient to inherit the position of the sea god, which was also the sea god's attitude towards himself.

However, there's not much need for that. The fact that they didn't choose Tang San as their successor is the greatest act of kindness they can show us.

"Oh, that's not necessary. Having Tang Hao be the high priest and offer sacrifices for you? Who knows how long it would take for Tang Hao to pass the red-level test? I prefer things to be faster. As for no one offering sacrifices for you, if the Sea God is unwilling, I'll help you open a dimensional gate to the God Realm. It's no big deal."

"All I want to know right now is your attitude towards Tang Chen?"

Poseidon shook her head: "It's impossible for us to be together. So much time has passed. If he really liked me, he should have gone to Seagod Island to find me immediately after arranging everything for the Haotian Sect. But he didn't."

As she spoke, Poseidon's heart was still aching.

Although time may have worn it down, it's not so easy to let go of someone you've fallen for, especially since this person is about to be killed by Xiao Tian, ​​and she feels somewhat powerless to do anything about it.

Xiao Tian saw Poseidon's reluctance and simply asked, "Poseidon, what exactly do you like about Tang Chen? Is it his talent, strength, or appearance?"

Poseidon: "I think both are true. In terms of appearance, he is not as good as Qian Daoliu, but in terms of talent, neither Qian Daoliu nor I can match him. Back then, the three of us were all Limit Douluo, but Qian Daoliu and I were because of the Sea God and the Angel God, while only Tang Chen improved step by step on his own. He is very powerful."

"At my level, there are only three of us Limit Douluo on the entire continent, and Qian Daoliu, being a Grand Elder, can't stay on Seagod Island indefinitely, but Tang Chen can."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian instantly understood.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Ultimately, it comes down to admiring strength. She didn't want to consider anyone weaker than Poseidon, and there were only two who were stronger than her. Tang Chen was stronger than Qian Daoliu, so she chose Tang Chen.

Of course, it is undeniable that they have feelings for each other, but have they really reached the point of unwavering devotion?

Xiao Tian thought that might not be the case.

The three of them got to know each other because the Spirit Hall went to attack Seagod Island and learned that there was a very powerful high priest on Seagod Island, which is why Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen went there.

The time spent together is at most a few months. Can you really fall in love with someone so deeply in just a few months?

Poseidon has so much experience, Xiao Tian doesn't think she's love-obsessed, and the original work doesn't show that she is.

Does waiting for Tang Chen for decades count?

Stop joking. Even if Tang Chen didn't appear, given Poseidon's personality, she wouldn't choose someone weaker than her.

There is a "generation gap" between the strong and the weak.

As for the two of them embracing each other and disappearing into the world in the end, it seems very beautiful, but upon closer inspection...

They were people who liked each other, and they were about to die, so what was wrong with them hugging each other?

By then, Poseidon had probably come to terms with it.

If Poseidon were truly infatuated with Tang Chen, she wouldn't have wanted to kill him during Tang San's Sea God trial.

Compared to life, what is Tang Chen's great-grandson?

If Tang San really dies, when will Tang Chen come to find her and learn that his great-grandson with twin martial souls was killed by Poseidon? How will Poseidon face Tang Chen then?

So essentially, Poseidon is a very rational person, and the idea that she's love-struck about Tang Chen is completely nonexistent.

Otherwise, she could have gone to the mainland from time to time to inquire about the situation, or even sent someone to write to Qian Daoliu to ask about Tang Chen's recent situation, but she did not.

That's not how a truly love-struck person behaves.

Characters like Xiao Wu, A Yin, Hu Liena, and even Gu Yuena—aren't they all more love-struck than Poseidon?

Xiao Tian said calmly, "Senior Poseidon, you are very rational. Your thoughts are probably the same as Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu's. You are a peerless Douluo just like them, and you are also so good-looking. It's perfectly normal for those two old men to be tempted."

Poseidon:

Yes, this is one of the reasons why she is relatively rational. As a woman who has never been in a relationship, the most she could do back then was to give the two of them a hint.

Asking her to pursue Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu? That's basically impossible.

Although Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu were about the same age as her, they were already old enough to be someone's great-grandfather, and they had also been married and had descendants.

She actively pursued him, but always felt a sense of comparison.

It's as if no one wants her, a peerless Douluo.

"Alright, since Poseidon has nothing else to do, please leave my sect. Of course, if you wish to stay and have a look around, I wouldn't mind."

Poseidon was very puzzled: "Aren't you afraid that if I stay, I'll use other people's lives to blackmail you into letting Tang Chen go?"

Xiao Tian said calmly, "You won't. Of course, you can try if you want, but I guarantee your Seagod Island will sink to the bottom of the sea, and I will kill you. As for whether you will kill anyone I care about in the meantime, well, you can try and see if you have time to make your move."

Although Xiao Tian's tone was calm, it carried a domineering and confident air, which made Poseidon feel uneasy.

More than anything, people were curious about what Xiao Tian's abilities were.

Of course, she didn't know that as soon as she dared to have even the slightest thought that was detrimental to the sect, the moment she activated her soul skill, she would be pierced through by the Xuanyuan Sword embryo in an instant.

Sword cultivators also possess intelligent swords, which are highly sensitive to malice.

This is why the Xuanyuan Sword Embryo made no move when Poseidon appeared in the sect.

The Xuanyuan Sword Embryo was well aware of the strength of everyone in the sect, and the strongest fighter at present was Dugu Bo, a level 97 Super Douluo.

In other words, if the person who comes is above level 97, then the sect is in danger.

Even if it's 98% safe, what's the difference between that and handing the danger over to someone else?

How many people in the sect will die from the remaining 0.2%?
