Douro Continent

Chapter 619 The Trident of Poseidon is drawn; a divine weapon, the Trident of Poseidon.

The Sea God's Light, at a rate of 70%, played a significant role, and the halberd was slowly rising under Tang San's efforts. Meanwhile, the blood flowing from his palms covered the increasing number of magical runes on the halberd's handle, transforming into a mixed golden-red light.

Gradually, Tang San saw the connection between the long handle and the trident head. It was a series of ring-like connections, tightly interlocked, and the closer to the head, the thicker they became.

As the joint lifted off the ground, the triangular edge of the halberd head appeared, with a crescent-shaped pattern on each side. At this moment, Tang San's blood had spread to those spots, staining the two crescents red. From this position, it was clear that the halberd head was large, and the higher Tang San pulled, the heavier the handle felt in his hands. In such a short time, he had already begun to feel weak. At the same time, he also felt that his palms, which had been bleeding previously, were now being sucked dry, greedily devoured by the patterns on the handle.

Clenching his teeth, Tang San exerted force with both legs, the two 100,000-year-old leg bones providing him with immense assistance. A piercing friction sound rang out as the trident gradually rose. From the edge of the triangle, a thick, angular halberd head, about three inches wide, extended to both sides, revealing the true halberd head.

The trident is naturally divided into three parts: the two on the left and right sides are relatively thin, while the central one is exceptionally wide, resembling a sword. At the center of the connection between the wide central blade and its lower part, there is a large diamond-shaped hole, making the trident appear as if something is missing. At this point, about one-third of the trident head has been pulled out.

Nourished by the blood flowing from Tang San's palm, the patterns on the handle of the Sea God Trident were fully awakened. Although the light was not intense, the golden patterns were far more dazzling than its previous jet-black appearance. As the blood flowed downwards and into the trident's head, the gold continued to spread. The two crescent-shaped patterns below the head shone brightly, as if the golden light were erupting from the ground in the center of the Sea God Platform like a volcanic eruption, bathing Tang San in a golden glow.

However, Tang San found that the trident in his hands was becoming increasingly heavy, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't lift it even an inch higher. Meanwhile, the rate of blood loss continued to increase. This was clearly not a good sign.

Suddenly, something seemed to flash through his mind. A strange thought made Tang San lower his head. The light of the sea god that erupted from the dark gold trident brand on his forehead gradually moved down from the long handle, past the more than ten-foot-long handle, and landed in the diamond-shaped hole in the ground where the trident was exposed.

hum-

In that instant, the air seemed to freeze, and a strong golden light burst forth from the head of the trident. Tang San and the Sea God Trident seemed to be truly connected, and the golden demonic runes identical to those on the trident suddenly erupted from his body. Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's bodies were simultaneously thrown off the Sea God Platform by that immense force.

Poseidon, who was sitting in the audience, stepped in at the right moment and caught them.

The two women coughed up blood almost simultaneously, but Ning Rongrong did not give up on amplifying Tang San's power in the slightest. Instead, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shone even brighter, fully amplifying Tang San's power.

Xiao Wu stared anxiously at Tang San. She felt a deep resentment; why couldn't she help him like Rongrong had? But now, she was powerless to do anything. She could only watch as Tang San struggled in agony.

Just then, the Sea God's Light emanating from Tang San's forehead suddenly changed from gold to blue, a deep blue like the ocean. The specks of gold gradually disappeared from the blue, leaving only this pure color.

A blue triangular object slowly floated out from between Tang San's eyebrows, spinning rapidly, and approached the diamond-shaped hole at the head of the Sea God's Trident through the bridge formed by blue light. It was the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

Even Tang San himself didn't understand why this was happening, because he had no ability to activate the Vast Ocean Universe Cover at all; it simply flew out of his body on its own. However, Tang San felt a strong sense of excitement from the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, as if at this moment, this treasure obtained from the Heaven Dou Empire also possessed a life of its own.

A miraculous scene unfolded. When the Vast Ocean Universe Cover flew to within three inches of the diamond-shaped hole in the Trident of the Sea God, it stopped. Then, the light of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover shifted, its original triangular shape instantly doubling in size, as if two Vast Ocean Universe Covers had joined together. Its shape also changed simultaneously, transforming into a deep blue diamond-shaped gemstone, its size exactly matching the hole in the Trident of the Sea God. The intense blue light at that moment even overshadowed the golden radiance. Tang San clearly felt his soul power, spiritual power, the Light of the Sea God, and the blood within his body all draining away at an alarming rate. A strong sense of weakness constantly assaulted his brain, and even with Ning Rongrong supporting him from behind, he felt a growing sense of helplessness.

How could this be? Could it be that the Vast Ocean Universe Cover... even with Tang San's great wisdom, he couldn't have foreseen this scene. But at that very moment, a sense of enlightenment dawned on him.

Since obtaining the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, his body has been subtly changing, especially the burning sensation that often occurs in his soul bones, all because of it. After arriving here, according to the Sea God Douluo Poseidon, he was originally supposed to at most obtain a top-tier eighth trial, but he ultimately received the Sea God's ninth trial. Could it be that all of this is caused by the Vast Ocean Universe Cover?

The Heavenly Dou Empire's royal family couldn't possibly know such a secret; otherwise, even if they valued me highly, there would be no reason for them to bestow the Vast Ocean Universe Cover upon me. If the treatment I received on Seagod Island was all due to this small Vast Ocean Universe Cover, then everything makes sense.

The long-standing doubts in Tang San's heart were dispelled at this moment due to the changes in the Vast Sea Universe Cover. If he had passed the Six Trials of the Sea God mostly through his own strength and wisdom, then the appearance of the Seventh and Ninth Trials of the Sea God could only be explained by luck.

Perhaps 99% of a person's achievements come from hard work, but that 1% of luck and opportunity is often more important than the 99% of effort. When opportunity knocks, seize it, and you will succeed; otherwise, you will be stuck in a slump for life.

Without a doubt, Tang San was someone who could seize and grasp opportunities. Although he was exhausted and had lost too much blood, he still had no intention of giving up. He knew that without the appearance of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, even someone with Poseidon's strength wouldn't have been able to pull out the Trident of the Sea God. This was his chance, not only a chance to survive, but also a chance to reach god-level strength. How could he possibly give it up?

With a soft "ding," the Vast Ocean Universe Shield, transformed into a rhombus shape, was finally imprinted on the rhombus-shaped hole of the Trident of the Sea God. A piercing friction sound accompanied by an explosion of incredibly surging energy erupted, engulfing the entire hall almost instantly.

The once pitch-black hall seemed to be ignited by the golden light. The ground, the roof, the walls, and even the seven other platforms guarding the Sea God's Altar were all bathed in a layer of golden magical runes. The previously simple and ancient hall was now completely bathed in gold, the immense golden light transforming it into something extravagant. An unprecedented aura of holiness erupted from the location of the Sea God's Trident, transforming into a massive pillar of light that shot skyward, directly towards the roof.

"Ah—" Tang San roared to the sky. Due to excessive force, the muscles on his back and arms burst almost simultaneously. But the trident, which symbolized the divine authority of the sea god, finally loosened again and slowly, slowly, detached from the ground.

The dark gold trident mark on Tang San's head, now raised high, has turned back into a brilliant gold, its intense divine light merging with the light emanating from the Sea God's Trident.

The trident's main blade, resembling a long sword, slowly rose, accompanied by its two side blades. Tang San's blood stained the blade, seemingly washing away the blackness and dust. The golden light, rippling like water, was dazzling and blinding. A dragon-like roar continuously erupted from the trident.

The Poseidon Platform trembled violently, as did the Poseidon Temple and even the entire Poseidon Mountain.

Standing at the foot of Poseidon Mountain, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang all stared wide-eyed at the direction of the summit of Poseidon Mountain.

The sky was now thick with dark clouds, dimming the light across the entire island of Poseidon. But then, the Temple of Poseidon shone brightly, its magnificent structure radiating a powerful golden light that pierced the darkness, illuminating Mount Poseidon and seemingly the entire island. A thick, golden pillar of light shot skyward, piercing the dark clouds.

At the same time, the seven sacred pillars of Poseidon on Poseidon Island also lit up, seven golden beams of varying thickness rising from different directions, merging with the golden beams of light erupting from the Temple of Poseidon.

The light lasted for a full ten seconds before fading, completely transforming the dark clouds in the sky into golden clouds under the illumination of the condensed golden orb. The golden orb slowly deformed in the air, gradually taking on a human form. It was vaguely visible that the humanoid figure was clad in golden armor, with long, deep blue hair cascading over its shoulders; the armor almost completely covered its body. Most importantly, in the hand of this humanoid figure was my golden trident, seemingly capable of cleaving the heavens and splitting the earth.

The Seven Holy Pillars Guardian Douluo, standing before the Sea God Temple, looked up at the sky. Almost simultaneously, they knelt down, their devout gazes filled with fervent light as they worshipped the illusory image in the air.

The same thing happened in every inhabited place on Poseidon Island. The island's inhabitants, upon seeing the strange phenomenon in the sky, all came out of their rooms without hesitation, knelt down in open spaces, and worshipped the huge phantom.

The might of the Sea God was visible for miles. Within the ocean, it seemed all creatures sensed the aura of the golden phantom. At that moment, the ocean suddenly came to a standstill; the raging waves subsided, and all things in the sea ceased their movement. Their bodies involuntarily turned towards the Sea God Island, trembling and reverently worshipping. Even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, about to transform into a dragon, opened his enormous single eye, his gaze filled only with horror and resentment.

Countless tiny golden rays appeared from all directions. Some of these rays originated from Seagod Island, but most came from the ocean. If Seagod Douluo Poseidon were to witness this scene, she would understand that this was the power of faith she spoke of—the faith of all things in the ocean in their devotion to the Seagod.

Bathed in the light of faith, the enormous phantom of the sea god in mid-air gradually became clearer, as clear as if it were a tangible object. Dai Mubai and his companions were suddenly surprised to find that the face of the sea god hidden in the golden armor was so familiar.

"Xiao San, that, that's Xiao San." That's right, the clear face is exactly the same as Tang San's, but the expression is an inviolable sacred majesty.

Inside the Sea God Temple, on the Sea God Platform, Tang San's right hand was raised high. The Sea God Trident, over twelve feet long and radiating boundless golden light, was in his right hand's grasp.

At this moment, the black color on the trident of Poseidon had completely disappeared, leaving only a brilliant golden light. Every golden line was so clear, extending all the way to the top. The central blade of the trident was two feet long and half a foot wide. The huge rhomboid gem, which was the manifestation of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, was inlaid in its lower part. Now, the gem, which was originally blue, had completely turned golden, transforming into a golden crystal and becoming one with the trident of Poseidon.

The two side blades on either side of the main blade shimmered with the same water-like golden light as their master, each with a barb on its outer side. The entire trident's three blades were devoid of any visible edge, as they had been completely replaced by golden light.

Yes, Tang San succeeded. He successfully pulled out the Trident of the Sea God and successfully completed the seventh trial. Golden light burst forth from between his brows, shattering into a light curtain. At the same time, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, who were below the stage, each had a patch of red light appear on their foreheads before shattering.

Xiao Wu received a notification: "Accompanying the Sea God to complete the seventh trial will result in bonus rewards."

Ning Rongrong was different; this was her final test, and the prompt she received was exceptionally long: "Top-tier Seven Tests, Seventh Test Completed. With your excellent support abilities, you helped your companions overcome one difficulty after another, demonstrating astonishing talent and outstanding amplification capabilities. All seven tests passed, granting you Red-level authority on Seagod Island, the title of Second Priest, a reward of Level 3 Soul Power, and a 5,000-year increase in the cultivation level of all your Soul Rings. Due to reaching a bottleneck in your level after completing the tests, you are hereby awarded an additional Divine Soul Ring. The reward for passing the Top-tier Seven Tests is a Divine Soul Ring."

Hearing the prompt, even Ning Rongrong herself felt somewhat incredulous. She had only taken one more test than Dai Mubai and the others, yet that one test had granted her rewards several levels higher than theirs. She even received two divinely bestowed spirit rings! What a concept! She was already level seventy, and she only needed two more spirit rings. Furthermore, as the cultivation age of her spirit rings increased, her own endurance would inevitably increase significantly. These latter two divinely bestowed spirit rings both offered the opportunity to break through to a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring level!

Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda hadn't been retracted yet, and her seven spirit rings were still visible on her body. Originally, the spirit rings were purple, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black. However, after receiving the reward from this final trial, the colors of her spirit rings changed again, becoming purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black. She now possessed two thousand-year spirit rings and five ten-thousand-year spirit rings. At this moment, she finally understood why the Sea God Douluo Poseidon's spirit rings were eight black and one red—it was a reward from the top-level trial! Poseidon had undergone the top-level eighth trial, so the spirit rings she received as a reward would definitely have a higher cultivation level than hers, hence the spectacular sight of all ten-thousand-year spirit rings.

Tang San was completely immersed in the golden light. The Sea God Trident in his hand felt like it weighed only a hundred pounds, not much heavier than the forging hammer he had used before. But at this moment, Tang San, who was holding the trident aloft, was unable to move. He stood there, covered in blood. Almost all the muscles in his body were bursting from the excessive force, and he could only maintain this posture.

Just before he completely lost consciousness, he vaguely heard a prompt in his mind: "Seventh Trial of the Sea God: Pull out the divine artifact, the Trident of the Sea God. Passed. Reward: Sea God affinity increased by 15%, total affinity increased by 85%, recognized by the Trident of the Sea God, and granted the right to use the Trident of the Sea God."

Outside the Sea God Temple, the enormous golden light suddenly contracted. After absorbing countless prayers, it transformed into a stream of light that poured into the temple from its rooftop, passing through the roof and directly into the Sea God Trident in Tang San's hand. At that moment, Tang San could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground with a thud, unconscious.

As he fell to the ground, the originally bright light in the hall dimmed considerably, especially the Trident of Sea God, which changed the most, almost instantly returning to its original dark appearance before Tang San pulled it out. Most of it pressed down on Tang San, the long handle striking the Sea God Platform with a deafening crash that made the entire Sea God Island tremble.

"Third Brother."

"elder brother--"

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu reacted almost simultaneously and rushed forward. Xiao Wu went to help Tang San, while Ning Rongrong grabbed the now-cold Trident of the Sea God and tried to remove it. However, the Trident of the Sea God, which was pressing down on Tang San, did not budge.

It's important to understand that Ning Rongrong's current soul power, after receiving the reward, should be level 82 if she absorbs a soul ring; even without absorbing one, she's already at level 80. Although she's a support-type soul master, the physical strength of an level 80 soul master is incredibly formidable. At full strength, her power would definitely exceed a thousand jin (approximately 500 kg). Yet, the Trident of the Sea God remained completely unmoved. To Ning Rongrong, it didn't feel like a weapon, but rather like an unshakeable mountain. This situation proves that the object before her must weigh at least ten thousand jin (approximately 50 kg).

What puzzled her was that when the Trident of the Sea God pressed down on Tang San, it only slightly dented his damaged flesh. If it really weighed more than 10,000 jin, how could it only be like this? Tang San, who had lost the ability to resist, was crushed to death.

"I'll do it." Poseidon's calm voice rang out. When Ning Rongrong turned her head and saw her, she found that Poseidon had actually squatted down beside her. In her opinion, Poseidon's strength was unattainable. However, the fact that Tang San could pick up the Trident of the Sea God should have been something that could be easily done by void absorption.

Poseidon was now squatting beside Tang San, her face solemn. She gripped the Trident of Sea God with both hands, and amidst the vast fluctuations of soul power, she released her martial soul. Eight black and one red soul rings appeared simultaneously; judging from her expression, she was giving it her all to lift the Trident of Sea God.

"Rise—" Poseidon shouted in a low voice. It was clear that an immense amount of soul power burst forth from her hands, enveloping the Trident of the Sea God. Even so, the trident was not picked up all at once, but was lifted away from Tang San's body very slowly. Poseidon's expression was tense, and the veins on her forehead could even be seen bulging. She had really used all her strength.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong immediately released her Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, and without hesitation, she used one power amplification and one soul power amplification, and the two beams of colorful light shone on Poseidon.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's status as the number one support-type martial soul immediately became apparent. With the two amplifying beams of light from Ning Rongrong, Poseidon's expression calmed considerably. She quickly picked up the Trident of the Sea God and gently placed it beside Tang San. Looking back at Ning Rongrong, her eyes held a hint of approval.

"Senior, why is this trident so heavy?" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but ask.

Poseidon said, "Let's save Tang San first."

Without the pressure of the trident, Tang San was already in Xiao Wu's arms. Seeing that there was almost no intact spot on Tang San's skin, Xiao Wu's tears welled up in her eyes, and she was desperately pouring her soul power into Tang San's body.

Blue-gold light slowly spread from Tang San's right leg to his entire body, and the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, imbued with the skill "Wildfire Never Dies, Spring Breeze Blows and It Grows Again," activated on its own. However, the healing speed was very slow, indicating the severity of Tang San's physical damage.

Poseidon placed one hand on Tang San's chest, her mental energy instantly enveloping his body, and her expression immediately became even more solemn.

"His condition is very bad. The power of the soul bone might be able to help him repair his body, but he lost too much blood just now and needs to be replenished immediately. Otherwise, his life will be in danger. An ordinary person would hardly survive if he lost a third of his blood. He probably lost more than 60% of his blood just now through the blood flowing from his hands and the tears in his muscles."

Xiao Wu replied without hesitation, "Senior, I'll give him my blood."

Poseidon glanced at Xiao Wu, then gently patted her head. "You're such a silly child. Tang San is truly fortunate to have a confidante like you in his life."

Xiao Wu shook her head, choking back tears, and said, "No, meeting him is the greatest luck of my life. Senior, what should I do?"

Poseidon gave Xiaowu a deep look. "Give me your right hand."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu raised her right hand. Poseidon flicked her fingers, and a gash appeared on Xiao Wu's wrist, from which blood flowed.

Poseidon murmured, "I hope your blood doesn't clash with his original blood."

Xiao Wu said confidently, "My brother absorbed my soul ring and soul bone, which is equivalent to them becoming one with my blood. He definitely won't reject them. Senior, please save him quickly."

Poseidon nodded, and with a flick of her right hand, Xiao Wu's blood instantly condensed into a red clump in the air. Poseidon's eyes shone brightly, and a layer of pure blue light emanated, enveloping Tang San's body. It was unclear how she did it, but under the infusion of this blue light, the repair speed of Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone noticeably increased. Poseidon's right hand moved rapidly, and strands of blood separated from the clump, simultaneously flowing into Tang San's body through the multiple cuts in his skin. The clump of blood seemed to act as a bridge between Tang San and Xiao Wu, continuously transferring Xiao Wu's blood to Tang San.

Tang San's face, as pale as paper, gradually regained some color, while Xiao Wu's delicate features grew increasingly ashen. However, her gaze held a sense of relief. Poseidon had shared her spiritual power, which she used to probe Tang San's physical condition, with Xiao Wu. She could clearly feel that Tang San's body was recovering at an astonishing speed. Clearly, her blood was at work.

After nearly half an hour, Poseidon let out a long breath, waved his right hand, and sealed the wound on Xiao Wu's wrist, stopping the bleeding. At the same time, he touched Tang San a few times, and under the spreading blue-gold light, all the wounds on Tang San's skin had healed.

"Senior, please don't stop! He hasn't recovered yet. I still have a lot of blood, keep giving it to him." Xiao Wu said anxiously to Poseidon, enduring the intense weakness.

Poseidon frowned and said, "You silly girl, you've already given him a third of your blood. If this continues, you won't be able to hold on any longer. Don't forget, your soul is only possessing his body now, not truly within your own. Even if you were a 100,000-year-old soul beast, you couldn't withstand this kind of blood consumption."

Xiao Wu said nonchalantly, "As long as he can be saved, you don't need to worry about me."

Poseidon said with slight anger, "You don't cherish your own body at all. Will you be happy when he wakes up? Besides, you don't need to worry about him anymore. His injuries would be fatal to anyone else. But his survival ability is too strong, even surpassing mine. With the blood you just injected, plus his own body's recovery, there's no problem at all. He only needs three days of rest, and with his powerful physique, he'll recover. As for you, I think your soul has been outside for too long; it's time to go back."

Hearing from Poseidon that Tang San was out of danger, Xiao Wu finally relaxed, swaying slightly and almost fainting. Ning Rongrong quickly handed her a large recovery sausage and stuffed it into her mouth.

Xiao Wu swallowed with difficulty and said, "Senior, Rongrong, when he wakes up, please don't tell him that I passed my blood to him. Otherwise, he will feel uncomfortable."

Ning Rongrong's eyes reddened, "Xiao Wu, you..."

Xiao Wu pleaded, "Rongrong, please. I don't want him to be upset. I'm fine anyway. Promise me you won't tell him, okay?"

What could Ning Rongrong say? She could only nod, her heart filled with admiration for Xiao Wu and deeply moved by the bond between her and Tang San. No wonder Third Brother was willing to give everything for Xiao Wu; their relationship was truly…

Xiao Wu's gaze then turned to Poseidon, who sighed, "With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for? You should quickly return to him. I will keep it a secret. Giving him your blood might actually be a good thing."

Xiao Wu finally relaxed completely. A flash of red light appeared, and her soul returned to Tang San's body, disappearing into his soul bone and soul ring, immediately falling into a deep sleep. Her body went limp in Ning Rongrong's arms, and she fainted.

Tang San's coma lasted a full day before he finally awoke. Poseidon's assessment of his physical condition was correct; Tang San's injuries weren't limited to his skin and muscles. Due to excessive exertion, his internal organs, bones, and tendons had also been damaged, requiring a considerable amount of time to heal.

What Poseidon didn't know was that Xiao Wu had consumed the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and the celestial-grade Acacia Heartbreak Red, making her blood far superior to ordinary blood. A full third of it was injected into Tang San's body. Although most of the medicinal power was absorbed by Xiao Wu's body, the small amount remaining in her blood greatly increased Tang San's recovery speed. That Acacia Heartbreak Red was capable of bringing the dead back to life and healing even the most gritty wounds!

Waking from his deep sleep, Tang San felt weak and sore all over. His mind gradually cleared, and as he felt the cool stone ground beneath him, his thoughts slowly returned.

The Sea God Temple was no longer the darkness he had encountered upon his arrival. Magnificent pale gold patterns now adorned the ceiling, their light, though not intense, barely illuminating the interior. These patterns continued downwards along the walls, and Tang San could feel the same light surrounding his own body.

The feeling of powerlessness was definitely a side effect of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone's "Wildfire Never Dies, Spring Breeze Brings New Life" healing ability. After all, his body had been severely damaged before. However, he was still very excited to have passed the seventh trial. Especially since he vividly remembered the words he heard before he fainted. The most important one was that he had gained the recognition of the Trident of the Sea God and had the right to use it. For Tang San, this was undoubtedly a shot in the arm.

"Get up if you're awake," Poseidon's voice echoed around.

Tang San sat up abruptly and saw Poseidon, the Sea God Douluo, sitting not far in front of him. Between them lay the Sea God Trident, which had nearly killed him. The massive, twelve-foot-long halberd still exuded a strong sense of weight.

After sitting up, Tang San noticed that the entire Sea God Temple was permeated with pale golden patterns, including the Sea God Platform beneath him and the other seven platforms around him. This made the originally simple temple look extremely magnificent.

"Congratulations, Tang San. You have passed the seventh trial of the Sea God. You have begun to truly gain the Sea God's approval," Poseidon said to him with a smile.

Tang San sighed and said, "Senior, I understand. I was able to gain the approval of the Nine Trials of the Sea God and the Trident of the Sea God because of that Vast Ocean Universe Cover. You should know this as well. But why didn't you take it from me before? I believe you must have had a way."

Poseidon gently shook her head and said, "No, you are the one chosen by the Sea God, and no one else can replace you. I also do not have the power to take the Heart of the Sea God from you. It chose you on its own. This is not just luck, but because you meet the requirements of the Sea God. This is a fact that no one can change."

The Heart of the Sea God? Tang San's gaze fell on the rhombus-shaped gem at the head of the trident. At this moment, as the trident turned black again, the rhombus-shaped gem also became transparent, showing no trace of the majesty it possessed when the trident was raised.

"The Heart of the Sea God? That must be the true name of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover."

Poseidon nodded and said, "That's right. The Heart of the Sea God is not only the core of the Trident of the Sea God, but also the core of the Sea God's legacy. From the day you obtained it and were recognized by it, the Sea God's test for you began. From the Heart of the Sea God, I have seen many things. It has saved you more than once. To give you an example you know, do you remember the Deep Sea Demon Whale King you encountered on your way here?"

-

A grateful heart.

After yesterday's update, seeing so many readers supporting me, with nearly 900 more monthly votes in a single day, bringing Douluo Continent back to the top of the charts, truly moved me to tears. At least all my hard work hasn't been in vain, with so many brothers and sisters supporting me. Today, I won't be soliciting votes; I just want to say thank you all. I will definitely continue to work hard, maintaining my consistent update schedule and not taking any breaks. To keep writing, I haven't had a drink in a long time, but seeing the increase in monthly votes today made me a little dizzy with excitement, like I'd been drinking. Consider it a drink that all my readers had with me. Thank you everyone.

It seems that starting from the 28th of this month, monthly votes will be doubled until October 7th. If you have any monthly votes, could you please save them up for Xiao San? The doubled monthly votes cast during that period will also grant double fan points.
