Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is a Simulator

Chapter 267 Goodbye Poseidon

"Why is the dream world closed again?"

"When will it be able to restart?!"

"Without the dream world, it feels so boring..."

"I feel like I have no will to live..."

"..."

In a certain sect, a group of disciples lamented to each other.

It's not just them; all the Soul Masters on the entire Douluo Continent are like this.

After the dream world closed last time, the soul masters felt somewhat uncomfortable, but not too much.

However, this time was different. After the dream world closed, all the Soul Masters felt very uncomfortable.

This is because, before the dream world was shut down last time, there was no system in the dream world, and everyone could not chat in the whole world. They just treated the dream world as an environment simulation training ground.

However, this shutdown is different because everyone has become accustomed to the communication functions that come with the system in the dream world.

Suddenly being unable to chat with others remotely or learn about events happening around the world through the world channel has left everyone feeling very disoriented.

Only then did they realize that the emergence of the dream world had made their world even more wonderful.

Now that the dream world is closed, it feels like we've returned to the primitive era, and we feel uncomfortable all over.

But no matter how anxious they are, it's no use.

If the dream world is to be restarted, we can only wait until Mu Ge completes the Nine Trials of the Sea God and inherits the divine position.

……

Wow~

"Godfather, look! That whale can actually fly in the sky..."

"And those turtles..."

"How amazing..."

Ning Rongrong followed Mu Ge to the outside of Poseidon Island. After seeing the wonders of Poseidon Island, her eyes widened and she exclaimed in amazement.

It's understandable that she was amazed by the wonder of Poseidon Island when she first saw it.

If Mu Ge hadn't seen it in the anime, he would have been amazed by the scenery of Poseidon Island.

Even now, Mu Ge doesn't understand why those marine creatures can soar above Seagod Island. He may only be able to figure it out after he inherits the Seagod's position.

"Let's go, your godfather will take you to the island right away!"

Mu Ge smiled slightly, and then landed on Poseidon Island with Ning Rongrong.

"pastoral!"

puff~

Just as Mu Ge landed on the island, a figure darted out from the sea, quickly transformed into human form, and landed in front of Mu Ge.

"You're finally back! Little White missed you so much!"

After confirming it was Muge, Xiaobai, her eyes filled with excitement, immediately rushed into Muge's arms and hugged her tightly!

"Yeah, I miss you too!"

Mu Ge smiled and patted Xiao Bai's head.

"Look what treasures I brought back for you!" Mu Ge then flipped his right hand and took out the brain of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which had been transformed into a precious medicine.

"This is……"

"Such powerful energy, could this be...?"

Upon seeing what Mu Ge had taken out and sensing the rich energy emanating from it, Xiao Bai was immediately startled and looked up at Mu Ge in disbelief.

"That's right, I've completed the eighth trial of the Sea God, and this is what I obtained from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!"

"This should be very useful to you, right?"

Mu Ge nodded and said with a smile.

"Wow... Muge, you're amazing! You killed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King so quickly!"

Upon hearing Mu Ge's confirmation, Xiao Bai looked at Mu Ge with shining eyes once again, her eyes filled with admiration and love.

"Godfather, godfather, who is she?"

Ning Rongrong, who had been left out, immediately spoke up in dissatisfaction.

"Just call her Aunt Xiaobai!"

"Auntie Little White is a 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark King!"

Mu Ge introduced her to Ning Rongrong with a smile.

"Xiaobai, this is my goddaughter, Ning Rongrong!"

Then Mu Ge also introduced Ning Rongrong to Xiao Bai.

"The King of the Great White Shark, a demonic soul spanning ten thousand years?"

Ning Rongrong looked at Xiaobai in surprise upon hearing this, then looked at Mu Ge in confusion, wondering why Mu Ge would be so intimate with a soul beast.

Is it really okay to be so close to a soul beast?

The relationship between the two is clearly not simple!

"Don't worry, Little White is the guardian beast of Seagod Island, a kind-hearted soul beast, and was once the Seagod's mount!"

Mu Ge then patted Ning Rongrong's head and said with a smile.

"Hello, Aunt Xiaobai!"

After hearing Mu Ge's introduction, Ning Rongrong was completely relieved and then sweetly greeted Xiao Bai.

As for why Xiaobai was able to transform into human form, she already knew.

"Hello, Rongrong!"

After Xiaobai heard that Ning Rongrong was Muge's goddaughter, his gaze towards Ning Rongrong immediately became more affectionate.

"Pastoral Song, have you returned this time to prepare for the ninth trial of the Sea God?"

After a while, Xiaobai finally asked about Muge.

His expression was somewhat unusual.

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

"Pastoral Song admitted."

"N-nothing..."

Upon hearing Mu Ge's words, Xiao Bai's expression darkened slightly.

She should have been very happy that Muge was able to inherit the position of the Sea God, but when she thought about how the High Priest Poseidon would have to sacrifice himself after Muge inherited the position, Xiaobai couldn't be happy at all.

Moreover, she couldn't say such a thing.

Otherwise, it would be interfering with the Sea God's inheritance assessment.

"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I won't let that happen!"

Although Xiaobai didn't say anything, Muge immediately knew what Xiaobai was thinking. After pinching Xiaobai's soft little face, he comforted her.

"real?"

"Pastoral Song, do you know about that?"

Upon hearing Mu Ge's words, Xiao Bai immediately looked up at Mu Ge with delight.

"That's right, I won't let anything happen to the High Priest, you can rest assured!"

Mu Ge said directly.

"Yes, I believe you!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai immediately became excited. She didn't bother to ask Muge what to do; she would believe whatever Muge said.

Afterwards, Mu Ge did not go to the Sea God Temple immediately, but instead took Xiao Bai and Ning Rongrong to the Sea Witch.

"Brother Mu..."

The sea witch was overjoyed to see Mu Ge and, like Xiao Bai, immediately rushed into his arms.

Ning Rongrong looked at all of this, and her gaze toward Mu Ge suddenly became somewhat strange.

It turns out my godfather is a lecherous wolves just like my father!

However, Ning Rongrong didn't seem to mind anything. Her father, Ning Fengzhi, was similar; she had many older brothers in the sect, and Ning Fengzhi, besides her mother, naturally had quite a few other women as well.

She didn't find anything wrong with Mu Ge's taste either.

They were just spirit beasts and mermaids. Among his father's women were those beast-eared girls who mutated when their martial spirits awakened and possessed spirit beast characteristics.

When the sea witch learned that Mu Ge had completed the eighth trial of the sea god, she was very happy for him.

Then, upon learning that Muge had returned to prepare for the Ninth Trial of the Sea God, he, like Xiaobai, felt slightly disheartened.

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to the High Priest!"

Pastoral Song naturally also appeased the sea witch.

Then Mu Ge handed Ning Rongrong over to the Sea Witch, asking her to take care of her temporarily, as he needed to complete the Ninth Trial of the Sea God and wouldn't be able to take Ning Rongrong with him.

After handing Ning Rongrong over to the Sea Witch and Xiaobai, Mu Ge headed straight for the Sea God's Temple.

……

"Lord Pastoral Song, the High Priest is already waiting for you inside. He tells you to go in immediately upon arrival!"

"Please, Lord Pastoral Song!"

When Muge arrived at the Temple of Poseidon, Poseidon's secretary was already waiting at the door.

Upon seeing Mu Ge, the secretary bowed respectfully and stepped aside to invite Mu Ge inside.

Even without seeing her expression, Mu Ge could sense the secretary's low spirits, despite her head being bowed.

Clearly, even if she wasn't one of the Seven Pillars Guardians, but merely Poseidon's secretary, she would know that if Pastoral completed the Ninth Trial of the Sea God, Poseidon would offer a sacrifice, thus sacrificing himself.

"Um!"

Mu Ge nodded lightly. Since Poseidon's secretary wasn't his woman, he didn't offer any words of comfort and simply walked into the Temple of Poseidon.

"High Priest..."

Looking up at Mu Ge's retreating figure, the secretary's eyes filled with tears.

Finally, the secretary silently closed the door and then quietly stood guard at the entrance.

"My Lord Sea God, I know that the Ninth Trial of the Sea God requires a sacrifice to the High Priest to begin!"

"Are there any other alternatives?"

After entering the Temple of the Sea God, Mu Ge walked inside while silently asking the Sea God a question in his heart.

At this moment, Mu Ge believed that the sea god was watching him and would surely hear his thoughts.

To Mu Ge's surprise, the sea god did not respond to him.

"..."

They're not even responding!

Mu Ge was somewhat surprised, and then suddenly remembered the introduction to the divine test in the original work. Even the Sea God himself could only assign tasks and could not directly interfere with the divine test itself, nor could he help the examinee in any way.

Although Tang San was helped by the Sea God many times in the original story, it was only a wisp of the Sea God's divine consciousness that helped him, and he never spoke to Mu Ge.

In short, you can't communicate directly with Muge.

"You're finally back!"

At this moment, Mu Ge had already arrived inside, which was the place where Mu Ge pulled out the Trident of the Sea God.

Poseidon stood beside her, quietly watching the pastoral scene.

"High Priest!"

When Muge saw Poseidon, he nodded slightly.

Looking at the still incomparably beautiful Poseidon, Mu Ge felt that the Poseidon in front of him did not give him the same strong feeling as before, nor was she as amazing.

At this time, Poseidon was still exquisitely beautiful, with a graceful figure, fair skin, and long legs.

But it just didn't quite feel right to Muge.

That's right, it's the eyes.

Poseidon's eyes have lost their former liveliness, and her overall demeanor has diminished considerably.

"Was it because they knew they were going to die as a sacrifice?"

Mu Ge's heart stirred slightly, and he immediately understood.

"I already know you've completed the eighth trial of the Sea God. Are you now preparing for the ninth trial?"

Poseidon looked calmly at Muge and asked in a low voice.

She disliked Mu Ge, but couldn't stop him from taking the Ninth Trial of the Sea God, so she adopted a completely businesslike attitude.

When Poseidon asked that question, she was somewhat expectant.

It is hoped that Muge will not immediately undertake the Ninth Trial of the Sea God, but rather, as in the past, undergo a year of cultivation before proceeding.

In that case, she would have an extra year to wait for Tang Chen.

"Yes, I'm here to prepare for the Ninth Trial of the Sea God!"

But the pastoral answer shattered Poseidon's last hope.

"Alright, now that you're ready, let's begin!"

Poseidon suppressed the bitterness in her heart and nodded coldly to Muge.

"Stand in the center of the formation, and I will begin the Ninth Trial of the Deep Sea for you!"

Poseidon summoned her own martial spirit, waved her scepter, and continued speaking to Muge.

At the center of the formation was the very spot where Mu Ge had previously pulled out the Trident of the Sea God.

"High Priest, are you preparing to sacrifice yourself to begin the ninth test of the Sea God for me?"

After hearing Poseidon's words, Muge did not immediately enter the formation, but instead looked at Poseidon and spoke.

Since the sea god couldn't respond to him, Pastoral Song could only try through Poseidon.

"You actually knew that?"

Upon hearing Mu Ge's words, Poseidon glanced at Mu Ge in surprise, his expression slightly fluctuating.

"Yes, I know!" Mu Ge admitted.

"That's right. So, do you still want to undergo the Ninth Trial of the Sea God?"

When Poseidon heard that Muge actually knew, he was surprised and looked at Muge with a hint of sarcasm.

So what if I know?

Could you possibly choose to give up the Ninth Trial of Poseidon?

If Mu Ge didn't know, she wouldn't be able to tell Mu Ge, but now that Mu Ge knows, it's okay for her to say it.

Furthermore, she didn't believe that Mu Ge would give up starting the Ninth Trial of the Sea God, completing the final Sea God inheritance, and inheriting the divine position because of such a thing.

"If it requires sacrificing the high priest to begin this ninth trial of the sea god, then I'd rather not do it!"

However, to Poseidon's surprise, Pastor actually looked at her and said no.

"What did you say?"

Poseidon looked at Muge in disbelief, her expression and tone no longer showing the coldness and silence she had shown at the beginning.

"If it requires sacrificing the high priest to begin this ninth trial of the sea god, then I'd rather not do it!"

Shepherd looked at Poseidon and spoke again.

"you……"

Looking at the serious-looking Muge, Poseidon trembled in her heart, as if she were seeing Muge for the first time, staring at her with wide, beautiful eyes.

Poseidon truly couldn't believe that Pastoral Song would actually give up starting the Ninth Trial of the Sea God because of her.

This guy is clearly a bastard, and a lecherous bastard at that.

"...No, you can't give up. Lord Sea God has waited so many years for your appearance. You can't give up because of me, otherwise I'll become a sinner of Sea God Island!"

Poseidon was naturally very moved, but he did not agree with Pastor's choice.

If she had heard Muge give up before, she would have been very happy, but now she didn't want Muge to give up like that.

She didn't want the Sea God's years of waiting to be in vain because of her own actions!
