Poseidon suddenly realized. No wonder the Holy Pillars didn't react at all; according to the judgment of the Sea God's Light, Nan Feng wasn't even considered a "complete person" yet.

“Moreover, an extremely dangerous and twisted evil thought resides within the fragments of this person’s soul,” Poseidon added.

"That is... the aura of the Rakshasa God."

Upon hearing this name, Poseidon's pupils contracted sharply in reality.

Rakshasa God?!

Wasn't that the vicious evil god who ravaged the entire Douluo Continent tens of thousands of years ago, representing ultimate evil and slaughter?!

Poseidon, the god of the sea, did not offer much explanation regarding the matter of the Rakshasa god, and instead delivered his final decision:

“I will not put any tests on him.”

"As for how to deal with this person, Poseidon, you are the high priest of the mortal realm, so it is up to you to decide."

As soon as he finished speaking, the vast divine thought of the sea god receded rapidly like a tide, completely dissipating from Poseidon's mind.

Chapter 180 The Concern of Good and Evil

……

Poseidon ignored the Sea Maiden's bewilderment and wasted no time on the Sea God's refusal to send down the trial. She gripped her golden scepter tightly, stared intently at Nan Feng, and questioned him directly:

"How can you possess the aura of a Rakshasa god?"

Nan Feng shrugged, making no attempt to hide anything: "Because Bibi Dong has already accepted the inheritance of the Rakshasa God."

“My soul core now resides within her body, sharing the same body with her. She was baptized by those resentments and malices in the Rakshasa Secret Realm, and as the parasite, I naturally and inevitably became tainted by the scent of that evil god.”

Upon hearing this, Poseidon's brows furrowed tightly!

Bibi Dong has been tainted by the Rakshasa God?!

The ambitious current Pope of the Spirit Hall actually touched upon such a dangerous inheritance of an evil god, representing ultimate slaughter and evil?!

Poseidon's heart, which had been calmed by the appearance of the sea god, was now heavy with sorrow.

She had always known in her heart that the Spirit Hall's ambitions would not be limited to the inland areas. As the Spirit Hall's power continued to expand, sooner or later they would once again extend their reach to the boundless ocean.

But Poseidon had never felt true despair or fear before. She believed that as long as she was stationed on Seagod Island, and as long as the faith in the Seagod remained, even if Qian Daoliu personally led all the retainers of the Spirit Hall out in full force, they would never dare to easily offend the majesty of Seagod Island. Here, she was invincible.

But now, the situation is completely different.

A pope who has touched the legacy of the Rakshasa God and is even very likely to take that final step... This is a devastating variable that is enough to break all rules and balance!

Involuntarily, the image of the young saintess who led the Spirit Hall's invasion across the sea surface came to mind for Poseidon.

In her opinion, Bibi Dong's talent was unparalleled throughout history. Let alone her, even Tang Chen, who relied solely on his own efforts to cultivate to the level 99 Peerless Douluo... in terms of pure talent, he was probably far inferior to that woman, Bibi Dong!

With Bibi Dong's terrifying talent that transcends common sense, the probability that she will complete those rigorous and cruel tests and ultimately truly inherit the Rakshasa God's position is extremely high!

If that day really comes...

Poseidon took a deep breath, a rare look of helplessness appearing on his face.

If that woman truly succeeds in inheriting the evil god's legacy, she could launch a war that sweeps across the entire continent and oceans...

Poseidon Island may not be able to hold them off.

Although on Poseidon Island, her home turf, she could unleash the power of the sea god without restraint, displaying a terrifying fighting force that was almost indistinguishable from that of a true god.

But she knew better than anyone else about that insurmountable barrier.

No matter how powerful the borrowed power was, she was ultimately just the high priestess of the sea god, a "mortal" who was extremely close to a god.

She was not the sea goddess after all.

If Bibi Dong, who had truly achieved the position of Rakshasa God and mastered the complete laws of the divine realm, were to attack her, her so-called invincibility in the ocean would be nothing but a joke that would crumble at the slightest touch.

Mortals are destined to be no match for true gods.

……

Meanwhile, in the realm of gods.

Inside the azure sea god's temple, Poseidon, who had just severed his connection with the lower realm, was rubbing his temples with a helpless expression.

Before his throne, two figures with immense auras appeared out of nowhere—one in black and one in white—staring intently at him with an extremely "unserious" and mocking gaze.

These are the two supreme god-kings of the divine realm: the god of evil and the god of good.

“I say, my two god-kings…” Poseidon lowered his hand, looking at the evil god with a puzzled expression, “Why would you two be so interested in a wisp of the remnant soul of that 100,000-year-old soul beast in the lower realm?”

Poseidon couldn't see through Nan Feng's true nature, but Poseidon, as the god of the sea, understood him the moment Nan Feng entered the light of the sea god.

That was achieved by using a special secret technique to entangle the two souls together, so even Poseidon's spiritual power could not see through Nan Feng's soul essence.

But under the divine sense of the gods, this trick has nowhere to hide.

The evil god crossed his arms and said, "Well, what can I do? This little guy from the lower realm is really interesting."

The god of goodness chuckled softly, covering his mouth. "Yes, Poseidon. Evil and I have just placed a small bet on this guy."

"So, you shouldn't get involved in his affairs."

Hearing the two god-kings' back-and-forth, Poseidon sighed helplessly in his heart.

In truth, Poseidon was never a rigid god. He had no prejudice against the soul beast race, and even though Nan Feng was tainted with the repulsive aura of the Rakshasa God, he was initially willing to give him a chance.

If Nan Feng can obediently accept and complete the sea god's test that he is about to send down, and casually bestow a little miracle to help this guy reshape a flesh and blood body, it will be nothing more than a piece of cake for him.

However, just as Poseidon was praying to him and bringing up the matter of Nanfeng, the two greatest "idlemen" in the divine realm, the God of Evil and the God of Goodness, suddenly appeared and stopped him!

They've already set their sights on this person.

Since these are the "chess pieces" and "gambles" chosen by the two god-kings, it's naturally not the sea god's place to send down any tests.

With his head held down by these two powerful figures, Poseidon could only issue a divine oracle of refusal to Poseidon.

"What's so special about this Nan Feng?" Poseidon couldn't help but ask. "And how did you two come to take notice of him?"

"I'm naturally more attentive to my homeland because I was born on Douluo Star. But you two not only have your own God Realm hubs to operate, but also subordinate mortal planes to manage. In this vast universe, why would you suddenly turn your attention to the souls of mortals in a mere Douluo plane?"

"Actually, we haven't known this person for very long either," the God of Evil stroked his chin and explained. "To be honest, it's mainly because it involves that crazy woman, the Rakshasa God, that I paid more attention to it. Then, I followed the clues and discovered this very interesting guy."

"As you know, when gods in the divine realm want to leave the divine realm to travel the universe, they will normally find a suitable successor in the lower realm and hand over their divine position peacefully before leaving."

"But the realm of gods is so vast that there are always some who don't care about their divine positions, or who are simply rebellious troublemakers who simply relinquish their divine positions and run away."

The God of Evil sneered: "That crazy woman, the Rakshasa God, is a typical example of this! Back then, she clashed with the Asura God in the mortal realm, and after that, she returned to the God Realm and soon abandoned her divine position, just packing her bags and running away!"

"However, before that guy ran away, he had already left a divine thought inheritance on Douluo Star, so I didn't interfere too much. But the Rakshasa God position is ultimately an extremely extreme and dangerous god among evil gods. In order to prevent the people of the lower realm from being ravaged, I naturally spared a bit of my attention to pay more attention to that Rakshasa Secret Realm."

At this point, the eyes of the Evil God gleamed with gossip and excitement: "Later, ever since that mortal woman named Bibi Dong first stepped into the Rakshasa Secret Realm to receive the inheritance, the Rakshasa Divine Sense sensed that a strange soul beast was actually residing in her body."

"I was just curious at the time, so I took a look following the divine sense. And then... ever since then, I've been completely captivated by the extremely twisted, mutually tormenting yet life-and-death 'love-hate relationship' between these two people, and I've never looked away!"

After listening to the evil god's long-winded speech, Poseidon's expression became extremely strange. He turned his head to look at the gentle and holy god of goodness beside him, and his confusion deepened.

It's one thing for the evil god to enjoy watching this twisted drama, but why is the good god also joining in this nonsense?

Noticing Poseidon's gaze, the god of goodness shrugged slightly: "Poseidon, don't look at me. I didn't know about these trivial matters in the mortal realm, but one day evil suddenly came to me and insisted that I show him this person."

"After he showed me the past and entanglements between Nanfeng and Bibi Dong... I have to admit that even I developed a strong interest in this extremely contradictory soul, which was extremely selfish yet also revealed a certain purity."

Hearing such high praise from even the benevolent god who always upheld love and rules, Poseidon became thoroughly interested.

A fierce fire of gossip ignited in his azure eyes as his gaze swept back and forth between the two god-kings.

"What could possibly pique your interest so much that you two would even personally set up a betting pool?"

Poseidon leaned closer and couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is the situation with these two people in the lower realm?"

Chapter 181 I can help you become a new Sea God

……

Meanwhile, in the lower realm, on Poseidon Island.

Poseidon brought Nanfeng back to the Poseidon Temple atop the mountain.

At this moment, Poseidon was in a state of extreme inner conflict and torment.

Originally, if the Sea God had agreed to put Nan Feng to the test, or even performed a miracle to help him rebuild his body, then the enormous favor Nan Feng had done on Purple Pearl Island—creating a trade route that benefited countless sea people and his indirect gesture of goodwill towards the Sea God Island—would have been completely repaid.

But now, the Sea God has rejected Nan Feng.

Moreover, she learned from the sea god's oracle and Nan Feng's words that Bibi Dong had come into contact with the Rakshasa God's inheritance, a terrifying news that was enough to change the world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or pattern of the world).

If the Spirit Hall and that woman are allowed to continue developing, they will surely become a major threat to Seagod Island in the future!

Therefore, Poseidon Island has no choice but to intervene in the situation on Purple Pearl Island and must firmly grasp that strategically valuable transit point.

However, forcibly taking over Purple Pearl Island would be tantamount to Poseidon Island tearing up the previous tacit agreement, repaying kindness with enmity, and swallowing the generous gift that Nan Feng offered up!

Such a treacherous act was unacceptable to Poseidon, who was proud throughout his life.

The atmosphere inside the Temple of Poseidon was somewhat somber.

Poseidon looked at Nan Feng, who sat opposite her, still seemingly indifferent, took a deep breath, and finally broke the silence:

"Purple Pearl Island owes you a huge favor."

Poseidon's tone was extremely serious, without the slightest attempt to evade the question: "But the Sea God's refusal to begin the trial for you is an unchangeable fact."

She paused, then truthfully relayed the contents of the Sea God's oracle: "The Sea God has clearly told me that there are two main reasons for rejecting you. First, your current avatar is far too perfunctory; a puppet whose soul is incomplete dares to presumptuously accept the test of the gods. For your insincere behavior, the Sea God's decision not to immediately impose divine punishment is already a sign of his magnanimity."

"Secondly, it's because your soul is tainted by the aura of the Rakshasa God. This kind of filth, representing the ultimate evil, is something the Sea God would never allow you to undergo even the lowest level of trial."

Upon hearing Poseidon's detailed explanation, Nan Feng nodded: "As expected."

"As expected?" Poseidon frowned, his eyes full of confusion and doubt. "Since you already knew that the Sea God wouldn't pay any attention to you, why did you go through all this trouble to make this trip?"

"High Priest, you seem to have misunderstood something."

Nan Feng raised his head. "From the moment I crossed the sea to come here, I never expected that the current sea god would lower himself to help a disgraced ghost like me."

"I came to Poseidon Island in the hope that... the new Poseidon can help me."

Upon hearing the words "the new sea god," Poseidon was completely stunned.

Her mind was a little foggy, and she stared blankly at Nan Feng: "A new sea god? What new sea god?"
