Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 304 Future Plans for Poseidon Island

Ye Liangchen looked at the trident in his hand and felt it was alright. He then inserted the trident into the hole in the platform, with the three prongs facing upwards. He would wait until Shui Yue'er passed the test before slowly taking control of this divine weapon.

Now that the artifact has been activated, the trident is surrounded by golden light, illuminating the entire hall. The power of faith absorbed by the Temple of the Sea God continuously nourishes the artifact, allowing the trident to maintain its current state.

"Sea God, your Sea God Temple doesn't even have a single window. It's usually pitch black. Now, let the trident remain like this, so that the light of the Sea God shines through. That will make it look magnificent and imposing. What do you think?" Ye Liangchen asked the Sea God.

"No problem. With the power of faith nurturing it, the trident will be upgraded to a super artifact in the future," Poseidon nodded.

"Sir, how did he do that?"

Poseidon didn't understand why Ye Liangchen could control the trident so quickly.

"When this kid was activating the divine test, he had already absorbed a lot of divine power from the Seahorse Sacred Pillar. Currently, the power of the Sea God in his body can resonate with the divine power of the Trident, which is why he was able to easily gain the Trident's approval."

"It seems that the 10% Poseidon affinity I gave him before was fake."

Poseidon recalled what the Goddess of Life had said: Ye Liangchen had refined the two ultimate powers of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, comprehended the power of wind, and now refined the power of the Sea God. In addition, he himself possessed two god-level martial souls. He felt that this kid was an all-rounder with unlimited potential for future achievements.

"Sea God, do you have any more artifacts of this caliber?" Ye Liangchen asked the Sea God.

"There's only one. Forging a divine artifact is very laborious. It's already a good thing that I'm leaving you one."

The Sea God had been in the divine realm for so many years, so of course he couldn't possibly only have one divine artifact. But he thought this guy wanted to take another divine artifact from him, so he directly said that forging a divine artifact was not easy, to prevent this kid from having any wild ideas.

"This trident won't be mine anymore!"

Ye Liangchen thought to himself: This trident will become Shui Yue'er's exclusive weapon in the future, so what does it have to do with me?

"That girl is your girlfriend, so isn't her weapon equivalent to yours? Besides, you also possess the power of the Sea God, so you can use this weapon as well," the Sea God retorted.

"I didn't ask you for any magical artifacts, why are you so nervous?" Ye Liangchen said.

"That's more like it. Are you done with anything else? If not, I'm heading back now."

The sea god asked a question, then left a divine thought on the trident before preparing to return to the divine realm, fearing that Ye Liangchen would take advantage of him again.

"When you go back to the God Realm, you'll still be drinking all day long, with nothing to do. Drink less, or you might drink yourself to death one day," Ye Liangchen teased.

"How did you know that, kid? Besides, I'm a god-level expert. Do you think drinking can make me drunk to death?"

The sea god was speechless as he watched the little guy even know that he was drinking alone.

"I was just using an analogy to help you calm down, cultivate your character, and refine your mindset, which will help you break through to the God King realm in the future," Ye Liangchen explained. This old guy's not very bright!

"I didn't expect you to care about me so much, kid. It wasn't for nothing that I helped you so much." Poseidon nodded with satisfaction.

"Whoosh..."

Just then, Yali and the guardians of the Seven Sacred Pillars arrived at the Sea God's Palace. Upon seeing the Sea God's towering figure, they were immediately filled with excitement.

"Greetings, Lord Sea God."

The eight people knelt down before the sea god in unison, shouting with joy in their hearts: Heavens! Earth! We have finally met the sea god!

"Get up, all of you! I am merely an incarnation of divine will; my true self cannot descend." The Sea God waved his hand and used his divine power to help everyone up.

"Poseidon, look at this. As guardians of the Seven Sacred Pillars, only Sea Dragon Douluo has reached the Super Douluo level; the others haven't. On the neighboring Rakshasa Island, besides one demigod, there are five level 95 Title Douluos. The Angel Temple also has one demigod and six Super Douluos."

"I think the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians should all reach level 95 to have real prestige. In case Blood-Eyed Douluo attacks with five Super Douluo one day, these seniors can calmly deal with the situation and protect the island's residents from harm."

Ye Liangchen directly compared the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians with the Super Douluo of Rakshasa Island to see if the Sea God would upgrade these people.

"Young Master Ye,..."

The Seven Pillars Guardians' heads were buzzing. This little guy actually wanted the Sea God to increase their strength. He was incredibly audacious.

"Are you saying I'm stingy?" Poseidon didn't know what to say at this moment. This kid really knew how to seize the opportunity to fleece him.

"No, I was just using an example. If you don't want to help, that's fine. I will help several seniors advance to Super Douluo in the future."

Ye Liangchen said calmly, thinking to himself: I've already said all this, if you still don't help the Seven Sacred Pillars Guardians improve their strength, how can you have the nerve to say that?

"Ah...this..."

Poseidon watched as Ye Liangchen manipulated the sea god, wanting to laugh but daring not to, her pretty face turning bright red like a red apple.

"Alright! I'll upgrade them for them, so you won't think I'm stingy."

"Buzzing..."

The sea god directly used his own divine power to transform into soul power and injected it into the bodies of the seven guardian pillars. These were his followers, and it was only right to help them improve their strength.

"Swish..."

Half an hour later, Seahorse, Sea Spear, Sea Star, Sea Illusion, Sea Witch, Sea Ghost, and Ya Li all advanced to Super Douluo, with Sea Dragon Douluo directly reaching level 97.

"Lord Poseidon,..."

The eight people felt as if they were dreaming. Ye Liangchen had managed to persuade the Sea God to willingly help them improve their strength with just a few words. It was simply unbelievable.

"From now on, you should assist the next generation of Sea Gods and make Sea God Island even better. Sea God Island needs reform, and some outdated rules also need to be changed. As for how to do it, just ask Ye Liangchen. He will help you come up with ideas."

Poseidon told everyone to follow Ye Liangchen's arrangements. This guy has ideals and vision, so it's reassuring to let him plan the future of Poseidon Island.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Sea God," Poseidon and the guardians of the Seven Pillars replied in unison.

"Poseidon, I've captured this big, clumsy fish. What are your plans?"

Just then, Ye Liangchen had a thought and summoned the Deep Sea Demon Whale King from the game pet space to see what the Sea God had planned for Shui Yue'er's ninth divine test.

"Bang…"

The enormous body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King caused the entire Sea God's Palace to tremble. Fortunately, the Sea God's Palace was large enough to hold a 200-meter-long fish.

"How did you manage that, kid?"

When Poseidon saw Ye Liangchen summon the Deep Sea Demon Whale King out of thin air, he was immediately unsettled. When this kid landed on Poseidon Island, he was only a Soul Emperor, yet he was already able to kill a demigod. If he were to become a god, wouldn't he be invincible in the God Realm?

"This deep-sea demon whale king is still alive, but it doesn't seem to hold any grudge against you. That's strange." The sea god carefully sensed the deep-sea demon whale king and discovered something unusual.

"At that time, this Demon Whale King wanted to eat me, but I severely injured it with a soul attack. Its soul was already badly damaged. I spared its life so that I could absorb its soul ring when I reached level 90."

"Although this big, stupid fish is powerful, it's not very bright. It was easily subdued with a few simple tricks."

Ye Liangchen said calmly, and then put the Deep Sea Demon Whale King into the game's pet space.

"Your soul is actually that powerful? Attack me, let me see the strength of your soul."

The Sea God was becoming increasingly confused, so he asked Ye Liangchen to demonstrate his soul attack techniques.

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

Ye Liangchen doesn't know the strength of his soul yet, so he doesn't dare to launch a soul attack on others lightly.

"Come on, I've prepared my defenses." Poseidon let Ye Liangchen show off his skills.

"Then give it a try! I'll transform my divine sense into an invisible sword; feel it."

"Whoosh..."

Ye Liangchen closed his eyes, his divine sense transformed into a sword, and slashed at the divine incarnation of the Sea God.

"Clang..."

The Sea God sensed the Sword of Nothingness slashing towards him and unleashed an attack wave to block Ye Liangchen's soul attack.

"You're a prodigy, kid. I've confirmed that your soul strength is already at the divine soul level, but I don't know what level it's reached. Anyway, it's extremely powerful."

Poseidon probed and sensed that Ye Liangchen's mental attack was different from others. Others launched mental attacks through their eyes, and their eyes would emit light, but this little guy's mental attack was an invisible sword, mysterious and unpredictable, and impossible to see. It was simply impossible to defend against!

"How is this possible?"

Poseidon and the others were stunned. This little guy hadn't even reached the level of a Soul Douluo yet, but his soul had already reached the level of a god. What kind of monster was this?

"Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

Ye Liangchen's "Refining God Technique" hasn't even reached the sixth level yet, but his soul strength has already reached the god level. That's too unexpected!

"It's no exaggeration at all; your soul strength is indeed at the god level."

Poseidon nodded and said, "No wonder this kid dared to say that becoming a god would be easy. Now it seems he wasn't exaggerating."

"It's probably because both of my martial souls are god-level martial souls!"

Ye Liangchen calmly said, "It seems that the 'Refining God Technique' is a very powerful divine skill. However, considering that these cultivation techniques of mine were brought by the game within my body, they must all be of high quality."

"Originally, this Deep Sea Demon Whale King was intended to be the girl's eighth test, but you've ruined it like this. So we'll have to change the test. The eighth test for Yue'er will have to be changed to another one: subduing the Demon Whale King wife and turning her into another guardian beast of Seagod Island."

"Of course, you'll have to step in, otherwise that girl won't be able to handle it. I estimate that the Demon Whale King has at least 30 years of cultivation now."

Poseidon thought that if Ye Liangchen could put the Deep Sea Demon Whale King into his spatial treasure, he could win over the other party's wife, so he decided to change the content of Shuiyue'er's eighth test.

"I had already sent Little White the Great White Shark to find the wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and we were ready to make our move when the time was right. I didn't expect you to ask us to subdue the wife of this big, clumsy fish instead."

"But it's not a big problem. I'll take this test for Sister Yue'er. But you have to tell us the location. Xiaobai and her people have been searching for half a year, but they haven't found any trace of that Demon Whale King."

Ye Liangchen has a cheat code, so subduing another Deep Sea Demon Whale King is no problem. As long as he controls it and puts it into the game's pet space, it will become his pet.

"The cultivation of sea spirit beasts is not easy. If you can avoid killing them, please do so. After I return to the God Realm, I will use some means to investigate them, and I will inform you then."

"That's all for now, I'm going back to the God Realm."

After the sea god finished speaking, his divine consciousness slowly turned into blue light and disappeared in an instant.

"Best regards, Lord Poseidon."

Poseidon, Ari, and the guardians of the seven sacred pillars all knelt down and kowtowed to the sea god.

"Poseidon, thank you. I'll come find you for a drink after I become a god. Also, could you ask around and see if any gods in the divine realm want to retire? I have a whole bunch of geniuses under my command who can inherit their divine positions at any time."

Ye Liangchen wanted to chat with the Sea God for a bit more, but he didn't expect the other party to run away so fast, so he shouted upwards, not knowing if the Sea God could hear him.

"Pfft...!"

Poseidon and the others couldn't help but laugh when they saw the pained look on Poseidon's face as he left.

"Seniors, I have some news to tell you. When Sister Yue'er inherits the position of Sea God, the High Priest will not need to make sacrifices. I tested the seal strength of the Gate of Inheritance before. With the help of two demigods, it should be possible to open it."

"Once Yue'er and I reach level 99, along with the High Priest, we will be three demigods, so you don't need to worry about the High Priest making a sacrifice."

Ye Liangchen directly explained Poseidon's problem to the guardians of the Seven Pillars, putting everyone at ease.

"Young Master Ye, thank you for everything you've done for us." The Seven Sacred Pillars Guardians thanked Ye Liangchen one after another.

"Xiao Chen, you've really broadened my horizons today." Ya Li was surprised that the Sea God was so familiar with Ye Liangchen.

"These are all minor matters, not worth mentioning," Ye Liangchen said with a calm smile.

"Xiao Chen has now gained the approval of the Trident of Poseidon, and his status is even higher than mine. From now on, everyone must follow his arrangements."

Poseidon gave orders to the guardians of the Seven Pillars, to hand over all affairs of Poseidon Island to Ye Liangchen.

"Yes, High Priest."

The eight people quickly expressed their stance, stating that even if Poseidon hadn't said anything, they would have obeyed Ye Liangchen's orders, as the Sea God had already instructed them.

"Seniors, the Sea God has already told me that you don't need to guard the Seven Sacred Pillars every day. You can all freely manage your own time."

"Starting today, those on the island who fail the test at the age of 18 will no longer need to be sent off Poseidon Island. Instead, some Sea Soul Masters will be sent to the Vast Ocean City of the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom to work with the Purple Pearl team to build an ocean fleet."

"I have already subdued the Purple Pearl Pirates. The people of Seagod Island should take the initiative to go out and do business with the people on the mainland."

"After I become a god, I will transform Seagod Island into Seagod Continent, giving the people on the island a more spacious living environment, so let's all work hard."

Ye Liangchen assigned tasks to everyone, which can be seen as giving them a dream to strive for.

"I will follow your arrangements, young master."

Upon hearing the words "Poseidon Continent," the Seven Pillar Guardians felt their blood boil and were filled with enthusiasm.
