"Sea… Sea God, I really succeeded!" Poseidon completely ignored the severe injuries on her body, trembling as she slowly stood up, her face full of stubbornness, her gaze firmly fixed on the Sea God in the sky.
Although she only held on for less than three seconds, she truly did it!
But at the same time, her heart couldn't help but be shocked.
With her current strength, she needed to forcefully perform Ring Explosion to lift such a heavy Sea God Trident. Wouldn't Xiao Tian's strength be far above hers?
She did not master Tang Chen's Ring Explosion secret method; the method she adopted was simply to shatter her spirit ring.
She couldn't completely absorb the energy generated by the shattering of her nine spirit rings, and she was not like Tang Chen, who could counteract the backlash brought by Ring Explosion. Even if she also possessed a full set of Spirit Bones, even Qian Daoliu couldn't do this.
Back then, Tang Chen was the only one among the three of them who didn't possess divine force, but relying on Ring Explosion and Great Sumeru Hammer, he fought them to a draw.
If they were to clash head-on with Spirit Ability, without the advantage of the ocean, Poseidon would definitely not be Tang Chen's opponent, and Qian Daoliu even less so.
Seeing Poseidon so severely injured, all for his Sea GodGod Position, the Sea God couldn't help but feel a complex emotion, but this emotion flashed by.
Then, with a wave of the Sea God's hand, a soft Seagod's Light fell upon Poseidon's body. Her injuries immediately began to recover, and her originally shattered spirit rings also returned to normal.
Under normal circumstances, a shattered spirit ring would require at least three days to fully recover, but Poseidon is the Sea God. With a divine force applied, Poseidon instantly returned to normal.
"Poseidon, I can indeed give you an opportunity to inherit my Sea GodGod Position, but it depends on whether you can seize it," the Sea God said calmly.
Poseidon felt the changes in herself and secretly marveled, is this the power of a Divinity?
"Sea God, please enlighten me."
Sea God: "You should be aware of your duty as the Great Priest, right? Therefore, before your trial is upgraded to the Seagod Nine Trials, you must find a Great Priest to replace you."
Poseidon was slightly stunned; she instantly understood the Sea God's meaning.
The activation of the Sea GodNinth Trial requires the sacrifice of the Great Priest to connect the passage between the lower realm and the God Realm.
Since her God Trial was upgraded, the position of Great Priest would need to be filled by someone.
This made her hesitate a little. Wouldn't this be indirectly harming someone?
However, Poseidon ultimately could not resist the immense temptation of the God Position, and she was also an extremely shrewd person. The Sea God specifically brought this up, probably because he already had a suitable candidate in mind.
"Sea God, do you already have a candidate for the new Great Priest in mind?" Poseidon asked respectfully.
The Sea God chuckled: "Since I want you to go to Xiao Tian to show sincerity, then I must show some sincerity on my part. I think Tang Hao's talent is indeed good. For him to serve as the Great Priest of Sea God Island is absolutely more than enough."
Poseidon's heart trembled violently. Tang Chen's grandson to serve as the Great Priest.
This meant she would have to make a difficult choice between Tang Chen and the God Position, which was truly hard to decide.
But in the end, she still chose to let Tang Hao serve as the Great Priest!
She knew very well in her heart that the Sea God had already told her to show sincerity to Xiao Tian, and Xiao Tian was now in a hostile relationship with Tang Chen.
She already had a scale in her heart and knew how to make a choice. She might still have some feelings for Tang Chen, but after decades of erosion, to be honest, those feelings were already few and far between.
Moreover, ever since Tang Chen became the Slaughter King of Slaughter City, there was no longer any possibility between the two of them.
"Yes, I understand, Sea God. I will prepare now, arrange some affairs on the island, and then head to the mainland."
…
Spirit Time House.
The time changes here, apart from the different flow rate of time, are no different from the outside world; there is still the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.
Zhu Zhuqing cultivated in the tenfold gravity zone for a whole afternoon.
Under the strong pressure of gravity, she clearly felt her spirit power continuously increasing.
Her original spirit power was at level forty-eight. After absorbing that thirty-thousand-year Spirit Bone, her spirit power rose to level fifty.
Subsequently, under the effect of the dark-attribute god-bestowed spirit ring provided by Xiao Tian, her fifth spirit ring reached the thirty-thousand-year level, and her cultivation instantly rose to level fifty-five!
Normally, a god-bestowed spirit ring has no attribute, but Xiao Tian's god-bestowed spirit ring was an exception.
After all, what the System produces must be of high quality. This god-bestowed spirit ring is not the same as the god-bestowed spirit rings condensed by those Divinities; only the name is the same.
After absorbing this dark-attribute god-bestowed spirit ring, Zhu Zhuqing only felt that her Spirit's nether aura became even denser, and her Spirit seemed to have undergone some change, but at present, it was temporarily unclear what specific change it was.
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing smelled the aroma of barbecue, and her stomach also grumbled uncontrollably.
"Zhuqing, come and rest for a bit. Let's have dinner first," Xiao Tian's voice came from afar.
Zhu Zhuqing got up, her heart feeling a slight warmth, but feeling the stickiness on her body, she slightly frowned; this made her a little uncomfortable.
Suddenly, she just realized, how was she supposed to take a bath later?
There didn't seem to be a place to bathe in this space, right?
It seemed there was only a constantly flowing waterfall. Zhu Zhuqing's cool and clear face blushed slightly. Was she going to bathe openly there?
But… but Xiao Tian was still watching.
Zhu Zhuqing came over to Xiao Tian's side, looked at the almost fully roasted chicken, swallowed, and couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Tian, didn't we bring dry rations when we came in?"
Xiao Tian chuckled: "How can dry rations be as delicious as roasted meat? Although this is my first time roasting meat, the doneness seems pretty good."
"Here, this chicken leg is for you." Xiao Tian unhesitatingly tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing.
He didn't just roast chicken; there were also a few fish, otherwise, where would he get enough to replenish his physical strength?
Zhu Zhuqing took the chicken leg and ate it with a bit of embarrassment. Xiao Tian was clearly the one who needed to increase his spirit power the most, yet she was still making food for herself.
After they both ate their fill, Zhu Zhuqing then asked with a bit of embarrassment: "Xiao Tian, where should we bathe later?"
"We?"
Xiao Tian immediately had some crooked thoughts, but in this place, after all, it wasn't inside a Sect, and there were no matching bathrooms for bathing. He pointed to the waterfall nearby and smiled somewhat helplessly: "Well, I guess we can only bathe in the lake. This is running water, so the water won't get dirty after bathing."
