Sensing this familiar and supreme aura, Hailong Douluo's expression changed drastically, and he knelt down on one knee with a "thump".
"Lord Poseidon?!"
Xuan Hao looked down at him and said, "I've never liked wasting time talking to men. The token is here. Lead the way and take me directly to your high priest."
The Sea Dragon Douluo was filled with surprise and doubt. Not only was the young man before him terrifyingly strong, but he also held the core token of the Sea God! Naturally, he dared not obstruct him in the slightest.
"Please follow me." Sea Dragon Douluo stood up and respectfully led the way.
Xuan Hao waved and called over Na'er and the others who were in the distance.
Led by Sea Dragon Douluo, the group passed through the outer cities without hindrance and headed directly towards the sacred site at the very center of Seagod Island—Seagod Mountain.
We have just arrived at the foot of Poseidon Mountain.
Seemingly sensing the aura of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, the azure "Light of the Sea God" that enveloped the entire Sea God Mountain suddenly flashed.
Immediately afterwards, a stunningly beautiful figure dressed in a long red robe and holding a gleaming golden scepter, like a fairy descending from the Sea God's Temple atop the mountain, guided by the light of the Sea God.
The highest authority on Poseidon Island, the level 99 peerless Douluo—High Priest Poseidon.
Poseidon landed in front of everyone, her eyes, which seemed to contain an endless ocean, fixed intently on Xuan Hao.
Her eyes were filled with extremely complex emotions—gratification, relief, but more than anything, a deep sadness.
The token of the sea god was triggered, and the sea god's successor finally appeared.
This means that... as the High Priestess, the end of her destiny as Poseidon, the moment when she sacrificed herself to open the path of inheritance for the new god, has finally arrived.
However, before Poseidon could fully compose herself with that tragic emotion...
Xuan Hao strode forward and casually tossed the Vast Ocean Universe Cover into Poseidon's arms.
"It's yours."
The air fell into complete stillness in that instant.
Poseidon frantically caught the Vast Ocean Universe Shield, which radiated a divine light, and was completely stunned.
Standing to the side, Sea Dragon Douluo was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
deliver?!
This is a damn relic of the Sea God! You just give it away like that?!
Xuan Hao looked at the stunned Poseidon and said confidently, "With this, you should be able to directly activate the final Sea God's inheritance and inherit the divine position, right?"
Poseidon opened her mouth, her mind unable to process what was happening for a moment: "You...you know what this is?"
"Of course I know, it's the Heart of the Sea God."
Xuan Hao curled his lip, "That old man from the Sea God wanted this thing to recognize him as its master and forcibly bind itself to me, but I refused."
"I don't think this thing's attributes are very suitable for me. To be honest, inheriting the Sea God's position is no challenge for me at all; I could clear the game with my eyes closed. However, I'm still more interested in another position in the City of Slaughter—the Asura God's position."
Hearing Xuan Hao's outrageously arrogant words, Poseidon and Sea Dragon Douluo felt their worldviews collapsing.
In this world, there are actually people who are picky about the position of deity, even complaining that the position of the sea god is not suitable for them?!
"So, after thinking about it carefully, I think you're much more suitable than me for the position of sea god. You should keep it for yourself."
“My plan is this: I’ll stay on your Seagod Island for a while, using your environment to level up to 99. Then, I’ll go to the City of Slaughter to find the God of Asura and get the final godhood.”
"And I'm giving you this stepping stone to godhood. If you use it to begin the final trial of the Sea God, you'll surely receive the empowerment of the Sea God's light and gain a great deal of the Sea God's power."
"In exchange, when you become a god, please use that extra power of the Sea God to help me and force my soul power to level ninety-nine. By the way, since your Sea God Island has a deep foundation, please give me another ten or eighteen divinely bestowed soul rings to fill in all the remaining gaps in my soul rings in the future."
"This is what you call win-win cooperation. You take the divine position, and I take the experience and equipment. Once I have all the divine gear, I'll go straight to the God of Asura."
Poseidon fell completely silent.
She held the burning hot Vast Ocean Universe Cover in her hand, looking at the crazy young man in front of her who was using the inheritance of the gods as a bargaining chip.
Are you that confident? You make breaking through to level 99 sound as easy as drinking water, and you even have your sights set on that terrifying Asura God!
However… reason told her that with this guy’s abnormal talent, such a fantastical thing was indeed… not impossible!
but……
Poseidon looked at the token in her hand, still somewhat incredulous at this windfall: "You...you really want to give me this chance to become a god?"
Xuan Hao looked into Poseidon's eyes and said, "If the High Priest feels unworthy and guilty, he can choose to repay her with his body."
These words were spoken.
Even though Poseidon had lived for over a hundred years and possessed a tranquil mind, a blush couldn't help but rise on her exquisite face. She glared at Xuan Hao with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance: "You have no manners!"
Xuan Hao, however, took a step closer, his eyes revealing an undisguised aggressiveness:
“I’m serious. I’ve truly admired you, High Priest, for a long time.”
"It's just that back on the mainland, I was too weak to come to your Seagod Island easily. I was afraid that if I opened my mouth, you would get angry and slap me into the sea to feed the fish. Although with your current level 99 strength, you could still kill me with one slap. But..."
Xuan Hao pointed to the Vast Ocean Universe Cover in her arms, smiling like a triumphant fox, "I've already given you this priceless divine position as a 'bride price,' so you can't just hit me, can you?"
Poseidon's expression turned completely unnatural, thrown into disarray by this bastard's barrage of direct attacks: "You..."
"High Priest, don't be nervous."
Xuan Hao, seeing that he had the upper hand, took a half step back. "I'm not threatening you, nor am I engaging in any forced transaction. I'm giving this to you sincerely, without expecting you to bear the burden of a self-sacrificing destiny."
"Even if you're not willing to offer yourself to me now, for the sake of this generous gift, at least during our stay on Poseidon Island, could you use your authority as the High Priest to give me some preferential treatment and make things easier for me?"
Poseidon took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the panic in her heart.
She looked at Xuan Hao with a complicated expression, and finally nodded: "I... need to communicate with the Sea God first."
"No problem, then I'll trouble you." Xuan Hao shrugged and casually asked, "By the way, if I want to participate in the trial, do I need to go to that Holy Pillar to activate it first? But I'm not even eighteen yet, does that meet the rules of your Seagod Island?"
Poseidon's eyelids twitched, and he sighed helplessly: "The Trial of the Holy Pillar can usually only be initiated by those who are eighteen years of age or older. Since you want to initiate it ahead of time, I must personally guide you."
"You all wait here first, while I ask the Sea God how to make a decision."
"Go ahead, go ahead, we'll wait here for your good news."
Chapter 416 The Sea God's Helpless Divine Assistance: Xuan Hao Receives a Super Extra Exam
……
Poseidon took a deep breath, turned into a streak of red light, and flew back to the magnificent and solemn temple of Poseidon on the mountaintop.
Inside the temple, she held the Vast Ocean Universe Cover in her hands, knelt before the statue of the Sea God, and devoutly closed her eyes, communicating with the Sea God's divine will that was sleeping within the token through a special means.
A moment later, the illusory image of Poseidon, the god of the sea, once again coalesced within the hall.
After hearing Poseidon's report, the phantom of the sea god let out a long, helpless sigh.
Poseidon initially thought that by using the Vast Ocean Universe Cover to lure Xuan Hao, a monster with the supreme bloodline of the dragon race and a talent so extraordinary that even he, a god, felt his heart tremble, he intended for him to inherit the position of the Sea God.
But who would have thought that this kid would be such a troublemaker, saying that the position of the Sea God was "not suitable for him," and instead valuing the position of the Asura God in the City of Slaughter even more!
As a god, Poseidon naturally had his pride.
Since the other party doesn't like it, he naturally won't force it.
As for Xuan Hao giving the Heart of the Sea God to Poseidon... that's not entirely impossible.
Poseidon, as his most loyal high priestess, had remained on the island of Poseidon for over a hundred years. Her piety, talent, and contributions to the sea fully qualified her to inherit this divine position.
“However…” The phantom of the sea god looked down at Poseidon kneeling below, his voice as vast as the sea, “Poseidon, can you really accept this gift that is enough to change your destiny so easily?”
Poseidon fell silent.
A hint of undisguised sorrow and struggle flashed across her exquisite face.
Poseidon looked at her, as if he could see into her heart, and sighed, "I know who you are waiting for. But Tang Chen is nowhere to be found. Some things and some people are ultimately just illusions. As the High Priest, you have carried too much on your shoulders. It is time for you to look forward."
With a slight flicker of his divine sense, Poseidon's tone surprisingly carried a hint of teasing: "Actually... you might really consider him."
Poseidon abruptly raised her head, a blush instantly spreading across her cheeks, her voice trembling slightly: "Lord Sea God?!"
“I’m serious.” Poseidon’s smile faded, and his tone became serious. “With his almost freakish talent and abilities, becoming a god is only a matter of time. Even if he rejects me, once he is fully exposed to the sight of the other gods, being chosen is inevitable.”
“I’m not encouraging you to go against your conscience. But you can calm down first, go see him and get to know him. Anyway, it will take him quite a while to reach level 99 here, even with the power of Seagod Island.”
The phantom of Poseidon gradually faded, leaving behind a single sentence that echoed in the empty temple:
"This is your own private matter, you should think about it yourself. When you are truly willing to accept this gift and completely let go of your obsession, I will begin the final test of inheritance for you."
……
Poseidon remained silent before the statue for a long time.
When she rose again, walked out of the Temple of Poseidon, and returned to the foot of the mountain along the steps, her eyes had regained the cool and calm demeanor befitting a high priestess.
She didn't say much, but glanced at Xuan Hao, who was sitting on the rock looking bored, and then raised the golden scepter in her hand.
"boom!"
A surge of immense power from the sea god erupted from her body, directly connecting with the power of the rules on Sea God Mountain.
Without a doubt, a dazzling blood-red beam of light shot up from Xuan Hao's feet and soared into the sky!
Top-tier eight exams!
Because he gave Poseidon the only key to unlocking the Nine Trials of Poseidon—the Heart of Poseidon—to Poseidon, even if his talent was extraordinary, without the Heart of Poseidon, he could only trigger the top-level Eighth Trial at most.
Xuan Hao was not surprised by the result at all, as he had never intended to pass the so-called Nine Trials of the Sea God.
After the light faded, Xuan Hao turned to look at Poseidon and pointed to the girls behind him: "High Priest, apart from Hu Liena and Dugu Yan, who are already adults, could Na'er and the others also begin the trials now?"
Poseidon shook her head decisively: "No. The Sea God's test is no joke. They are all land-based Soul Masters. The difficulty and danger of the Sea God's test here will only be more severe than for sea-based Soul Masters."
"For you, the Sea God's Trial may not be much of a challenge, but for them at their age and with their cultivation level, it is a true life-or-death crisis. A slight mistake could result in their annihilation."
Poseidon looked at Na'er and the others, her tone softening: "Let's wait until they're older and their cultivation is more stable before we talk about it. However, since they've come with you, they can stay here and cultivate using the pure ocean power and environment of Seagod Island, laying a good foundation for the upcoming Seagod Trial."
Xuan Hao nodded: "Then thank you very much, High Priest. And please, could you also help Nana and Yan Yan activate it?"
Poseidon nodded, and once again waved his scepter, manipulating the light of the sea god to envelop Hu Liena and Dugu Yan.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Two more blinding red beams shot into the sky in quick succession!
Hu Liena, Red-level Eighth Test!
