Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 436 Poseidon: Misunderstanding!

While the central authority of the divine realm was still deliberating, the God of Defense had already reached the entrance of the Sea God's Temple.

As always, he had a sharp upper body and a weathered look with a stubble beard. However, his cloudy eyes were now full of brilliance, like two bright lamps in the dark night. Even in the divine realm where there was no distinction between day and night, they were dazzling and eye-catching!

But none of these are anything special. The most eye-catching thing is definitely the towering divine mountain that the God of Defense holds in his right hand!

This sacred mountain is constructed entirely from defensive laws, making it indestructible. No one in the entire God Realm can find anything more difficult to destroy than it. Even the natal artifact of a first-level god can only barely leave a mark on this sacred mountain. It is no exaggeration to say that any god who sees this sacred mountain will tremble in their heart!

Otherwise, the God of Defense wouldn't have been given the title of "Old Rogue of the Divine Realm"!

boom--

"Poseidon brat! Get out here for me!" Upon seeing the Temple of the Sea God, the God of Defense, without saying a word, swung out the divine mountain in his hand and blocked the entrance of the Temple of the Sea God.

The entire Sea God Temple trembled, but the God of Defense remained firmly seated atop the sacred mountain, overlooking the vast Sea God Temple, looking as if he were about to interrogate the sea god!

The gods don't know, but the Sea God is quite popular in the God Realm. Many gods have even experienced the trials he left behind on Sea God Island in Douluo Continent. It can be said that the Sea God is a good guy in the entire God Realm, so there's no reason for him to provoke the God of Defense!

However, despite this, no god has been seen standing up for the sea god.

After all, the shadow that the God of Defense left in the hearts of the gods a few years ago was too deep!

That wasn't all. As soon as the mountain of the God of Defense descended, the vast and endless land of the divine realm trembled—a scene that had only appeared in the last ten thousand years when the God of Heavenly Fiend took action!

As the gods predicted, a huge crack appeared in the sacred earth directly beneath the Sea God's Temple, and a silver-white divine tiger claw emerged from the ground, slamming heavily onto the Sea God's Temple!

This palm strike caused the Sea God Temple to teeter on the brink of collapse. Even the temple itself cracked with jagged fissures, as if it were about to crumble at any moment!

The gods were shocked. They had originally planned to play along and sound out the God of Defense to see if they could help the Sea God and make the matter disappear. But they all fell silent!

The God of Defense may be tyrannical, but he at least has some sense of reason. But the God of Fiend is different. This guy doesn't even care about the survival of the divine realm, so why would he care about a few minor gods like you?

"Poseidon! Give me an explanation!"

Immediately afterwards, a hoarse and beastly voice came from the depths of the divine realm, its questioning tone sending shivers down the spines of countless gods!

However, the Heavenly Fiend God himself did not break out of the divine realm's earth veins, which relieved the gods.

This at least shows that there is still room for maneuver, and it won't be like the last time with the Rakshasa God, where the heavens and earth collapsed and the god-king was killed!

As the voice of the God of Calamity faded, a layer of aquamarine light appeared on the Sea God Temple. The light flashed by, but when the divine light receded, the cracks on the Sea God Temple had disappeared, leaving it completely refreshed!

Seeing this, the God of Defense couldn't help but marvel.

As expected of the most powerful being among the first-level gods, he was able to repair the damage to the temple in an instant. Even the God of Defense himself couldn't do that!

"Hehe!" A leisurely chuckle then rang out from within the Sea God's Temple. The Sea God emerged from the temple, stood at the foot of the sacred mountain, and asked with a smile, "May I ask what brings Elder Yu and the Heavenly Fiend God here?"

The sea god has a majestic face, wears a light blue and golden armor, holds the trident of the sea god, has white hair and a youthful face, and a strong body. Apart from his white hair and beard, which adds to his old age, he does not look like an old man at all. Instead, he looks like a charming middle-aged man who has been in a high position for a long time and is in his prime!

Of course, the God of Defense and the God of Fiends wouldn't care what the Sea God looks like.

"Sea God brat! Stop pretending with me!" The God of Defense roared angrily, slamming his hand down on the sacred mountain. The Sea God Temple shook again, and even the Sea God's trident could not suppress it!

Seeing this, the sea god couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

How could he not know why the God of Defense and the God of Heavenly Fiend had come?

If he could, he certainly wouldn't want to offend these two big shots, but unfortunately the situation didn't allow it, and Poseidon himself was also helpless!

"Alas!" Knowing he couldn't get away with it, the Sea God could only sigh and say sincerely, "Elder Yu! Heavenly Fiend God! Please don't be angry! I was forced into this situation!"

"Forced into a corner!?" The God of Defense sneered, aggressively questioning, "Being forced into a corner is your reason for giving my successor a White-level test!? Do you look down on me!? Or do you look down on my chosen successor!?"

At the same time, the land of the gods trembled, clearly indicating that the Heavenly Fiend God meant the same thing.

Sending Dai Mubai to Seagod Island for the trial, to put it bluntly, was really giving the Seagod face and an opportunity to climb the social ladder. With the Heavenly Fiend's current strength, even if Dai Mubai couldn't ascend to the heavens in one step, relying on the earth veins and evil energy foundation left by the Heavenly Fiend in the God Realm, he could still stand up to a God King without being defeated. Such a good relationship is something many gods would want but can't obtain, yet the Seagod gave Dai Mubai only a White-level trial!

In the past, when a descendant of a deity went to Seagod Island to undergo trials, even if his talent was poor, Seagod would give him a Black Level Five Trial as a way to save face.

Now look what's happened! Two successors of God-King level combat power went to Seagod Island, only to be given a humiliating White-level test!

Is this an insult implying they have poor taste, or is it simply a disrespect towards them as individuals?

"Please calm down, you two!" The Sea God shouted as he saw that the Heavenly Fiend God was about to go berserk.

"It's not that I'm unwilling to give my two successors fair treatment, but their talents are simply too high. If they were to be assessed normally, they would be at the eighth level of the Red Rank. And since my successor is also working with them, if there were two at the eighth level of the Red Rank and one at the ninth level of the Inheritance Rank at the same time, even I would find it difficult to keep up!"

It is true that the sea god's divine power is vast, but it is not without limits!

The Sea God's own divine power cultivation has already broken through level 149, just one step away from becoming a God King, but his inherited divine power is only level 147. After all, the Sea God has only been a god for 20,000 years. Even if he has outstanding talent, it is impossible for him to push the inherited divine power of his godhood to the limit if he starts from scratch.

Of the 147th level of inherited divine power, at least two or three levels need to be used for the cultivation of the Sea God's successor, leaving only the 144th and 145th levels of inherited divine power.

The fusion of divine equipment, the improvement of divinity and divine position compatibility, the increase of soul ring age, the transformation of soul bones, the solidification of divinely bestowed soul rings and divine skills, and most importantly, the condensation of the final divine ring—all of these require the use of inherited divine power!

The Ice God had no choice but to strip Han Fengzhen of his divinely bestowed soul ring and soul bone because he lacked sufficient inherited divine power!

If two more Red-level Eighth Trials were to occur, even without the Sea God providing the final divine ring, divine equipment, and divinity, it would still require at least one or two levels of inherited divine power—Red-level trials are already considered part of the divine realm!

This means that, in addition to the half-level of divine power lost during the inheritance, the divine power that the successor of the Sea God finally obtains drops from the initial level 147 to level 142!

Good heavens, he went directly from a high-level first-level god to the weakest first-level god!

At that point, even the position of the Sea God among the thirty-six righteous gods might be lost!

It's not that the Sea God is stingy. If it were a thousand years ago, he would have given it away. Using one or two levels of inherited divine power to exchange for the friendship of the God of Defense and the God of Heavenly Fiend is a deal anyone would make. He could just spend some time to replenish the inherited divine power. Anyway, the Sea God lacks everything except divine power!

But these two Red-level Eight Trials and the Inheritance Nine Trials just happened to coincide!

Even the sea god didn't want this to happen!

"You mean, you've found a successor?" Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Fiend's accusatory tone softened.

Taking advantage of loopholes is like taking your child to someone else's house for a free meal. The other family doesn't have children, but your child gets a good meal. There's no big problem; one side saves the child money on formula, and the other side gains the child's goodwill. When the child grows up, it can become a valuable connection.

But if someone else has a child, the situation is different!

If even the host family's children are not getting enough to eat, how can these freeloaders have the nerve to open their mouths?

Although the Heavenly Fiend God was ruthless, and the Asura God even despised him as a vile beast, in reality, the Heavenly Fiend God did not like to argue illogically.

Most importantly, the Heavenly Fiend God understood that the Five Great Gods would not stand idly by while this matter was so untenable. If he continued to entangle himself with it, he would gain nothing but another battle with the Five Great Gods.

The Heavenly Fiend God is not afraid of the Five Great God Kings, but he is afraid of trouble!

Seeing that the God of Heaven's tone had softened, the Sea God breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Absolutely true!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King has already made all the preparations, and the Heart of the Sea God has already been fused. Only the final step remains. In the eyes of the Sea God, Tang San is naturally already his successor!
