Xiao Tian looked at the Sea God's phantom, not too surprised, and smiled faintly, "Sea God, isn't this your usual trick? Since Poseidon is the High Priest of Sea God Island, you must have left your divine sense on her, not to mention that her Sea GodSpirit was bestowed by you."
The Sea God also couldn't help but praise, "You are indeed clever, but this bit of divine sense cannot allow me to appear for too long. Everything Poseidon said is true. I wonder what you think? I can feel that your strength has undergone earth-shattering changes compared to last time. Now, even a second-grade Divinity might not be your opponent, right?"
Although the Sea God in front of him was not his true body, he was still a first-grade main Divinity. Xiao Tian's strength was very clearly felt by him, completely different from when they met in Spirit City.
Xiao Tian chuckled, "This does surprise me a bit. Tang San's Blue Silver GrassSpirit is now crippled, so he indeed has no reason for you to pass on your legacy. But I want to know, why would Asura God suddenly change his mind? Tang Chen's appearance must be his doing, it's impossible for Tang Chen to just happen to become the Slaughter King.
As far as I know, the Slaughter King of Slaughter City should be the Nine-Headed Blood Bat."
Poseidon: ???
If that's the case, how could Tang Chen suddenly become the new Slaughter King?
"Hehe, that Nine-Headed Blood Bat was actually Tang Chen. It's just that Tang Chen was Parasite after completing Asura's Eighth Trial back then, and the Asura God Trial failed as a result. Originally, Asura God had already given up on him, but you should have guessed it, because of Tang San and Tang Chen's own talent, he became the new Slaughter King, and the Nine-Headed Blood Bat was killed by him."
"Then why has Asura God given up on Tang San now? How long has it been?" Xiao Tian said indifferently.
"Hehe, that's naturally because of me, the Sea God. That Tang San is basically crippled now. Asura God is originally a God King, and if he wants to pass on his legacy, he should pass it to the strongest person in the lower realm. I, as an observer, see it more clearly than him. He understood later, so are you interested in accepting the Asura God's legacy?"
Xiao Tian, however, shook his head, "Sea God, you and Asura God, don't be in a hurry to reconcile with me. Even if this matter is reconciled, there will still be conflicts between us later."
Sea God: "Hmm?"
Xiao Tian released his seven spirit rings and said indifferently, "Look at these spirit rings on me."
The Sea God looked at the uniform brilliant golden spirit rings, his pupils shrinking. Most importantly, he could tell that these spirit rings were not obtained from Spirit Beasts or god-bestowed spirit rings. Self-condensing spirit rings?
How is this possible? Isn't this something only God-level powerhouses can do?
Yes, they, Divinities, also condense a divine ring every time their divine force increases by ten levels, but they don't need to hunt Spirit Beasts.
And there aren't that many God-level Spirit Beasts for them to hunt. There are no Beast Gods in the God Realm.
"What exactly do you want to do?" The Sea God's expression became serious.
Xiao Tian said indifferently, "I don't want to do anything, Sea God. You should know that the balance between Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts in the lower realm has begun to destabilize. I have human companions around me, and also Spirit Beast companions. I want to do something."
"Of course, this matter will not harm your God Realm, or rather, Divinities, but I can't tell you yet. How about it, are you planning to reconcile like this now, or will you and Asura God descend to fight me?"
The Sea God stared at Xiao Tian's face for a long time. Could it be that Xiao Tian had a trump card against God King-level powerhouses? With his current strength, the spirit ring fusion used in Spirit City would be useless against him.
However, since it wouldn't harm them at all, fine. The Sea God showed a smile, "Okay, I can trust you once. Tell me, what do you plan to do?"
Xiao Tian said indifferently, "You promise me two things, and we'll wipe the slate clean for what happened before. First, when Qian Renxue is about to undergo the Angel's Ninth Trial, you help open the planar gate from the lower realm to the God Realm."
"No, that doesn't conform to the rules!" The Sea God shook his head and directly refused.
Angel God and Sea God are both Gods of Faith. Their High Priest and High Priestess need to sacrifice themselves.
Only God King-level Divinities like Asura God can open the planar gate to the God Realm for their inheritors without a High Priest.
This is because he left enough divine force in Slaughter City, and due to the constant slaughter in Slaughter City, the blood energy can also provide some assistance.
"You definitely can. Don't think I don't know that you and Angel God are sworn enemies. You definitely left a trick in the Hall of Offerings to stop Qian Renxue from becoming a Divinity, or to make her ascension imperfect, am I right?"
The Sea God's expression changed slightly, "You know this too!"
At this point, the Sea God also had to re-examine Xiao Tian. In front of him, the Sea God felt as if he was completely seen through.
"Don't mind how I know. You can't touch Qian Renxue. You already possess 30% of Angel God's authority over light, isn't that enough? Don't cut off her last trace of legacy. That bit of your divine force should be enough to open it."
Sea God: .
"Okay, I promise you. What's the second thing?"
"Go tell Asura God that although I don't want the Asura God Position, tell him to keep it for me. I'll find an inheritor for him. Although not as good as me, they will definitely not be weak. Asura God must be quite eager to retire, right?"
The Sea God's mouth twitched, and he shook his head helplessly, "I really can't promise you this, but I will go tell him."
"Alright, you can leave if there's nothing else."
Since the matters were settled, Xiao Tian assumed a posture of seeing off guests, showing no deference to the Sea God.
Sea God: .
The Sea God didn't bother arguing with Xiao Tian. As for who Xiao Tian wanted to give the Asura God Position to, he already had a guess in his heart. Wasn't it for one of the people around him?
Excluding the support systemNing Rongrong and the agility-attack systemZhu Zhuqing, only the attack systemXiao Wu was more suitable.
Her strength was indeed much stronger than Tang San's, and her skills were quite comprehensive, but he didn't know if Asura God would agree.
But this was not something he could control. It was estimated that Asura God now, besides Xiao Tian, wouldn't think highly of anyone else?
However, Asura God's divine force had already reached the limit that the Asura God Position could achieve. Unless he passed on his legacy, his strength would remain at this level for life, and as an enforcement Divinity, he had too many things to do.
Subsequently, the Sea God's phantom disappeared.
Xiao Tian looked at the somewhat dumbfounded Poseidon and smiled, "Senior Poseidon, what are your thoughts?"
"Ah?" Poseidon only then recovered from Xiao Tian's seven brilliant golden spirit rings. This... was he even human?
No wonder the Sea God wanted her to come here!
"Aren't you Tang Chen's old flame? Now I've made an enemy of the Clear Sky Sect, and Tang Chen and a few others are on my kill list. Since the intentions of Asura God and Sea God are very clear now, there's no need for me to wait any longer."
"You can still stop me now."
Poseidon: .
How could she dare?
Poseidon shook her head and said, "Lord Sea God has already promised to pass the Sea God Position to me, but I need a new High Priest. He told me to find Tang Hao."
Xiao Tian: ???
Hehe, this Sea God is a bit interesting, quite playful.
Poseidon's talent was indeed sufficient to inherit the Sea God Position, and this was also the Sea God's attitude towards himself.
However, there wasn't much need for it. If they didn't choose Tang San as the inheritor, then for him, it was the greatest goodwill.
"Oh, that's not necessary. Let Tang Hao be the High Priest and then sacrifice himself to you? Who knows how long it would take for Tang Hao to pass the red-level trial. I still prefer things to be quicker. As for no one sacrificing themselves to you, if Sea God is unwilling, I'll help you open the planar gate to the God Realm, it's no big deal."
"I just want to know your attitude towards Tang Chen now?"
Poseidon shook her head, "It's impossible for him and me to be together. So much time has passed. If he really liked me, then after he finished arranging everything for the Clear Sky Sect, he should have immediately come to Sea God Island to find me, but he didn't."
As she spoke, Poseidon's heart actually still ached a little.
Although time had worn it down, it wasn't that easy to let go of someone you loved, and coupled with the fact that this person was about to be killed by Xiao Tian, she felt a bit helpless.
Xiao Tian saw Poseidon's reluctance and merely said, "Poseidon, what exactly do you like about Tang Chen? His talent, strength, or appearance?"
Poseidon: "Probably all of them. In terms of appearance, he's not as good as Qian Daoliu, but in terms of talent, neither Qian Daoliu nor I were his opponents. Back then, all three of us were super Douluo, but Qian Daoliu and I were because of Sea God and Angel God. Only Tang Chen rose step by step on his own, which is very impressive."
"At my level, there were only three super Douluo on the entire continent, and Qian Daoliu, as the High Priest, couldn't stay on Sea God Island forever, but Tang Chen could."
Xiao Tian understood instantly upon hearing this.

In the end, it was still about admiring strength. She didn't want to consider those weaker than Poseidon, and there were only two stronger than her, and Tang Chen was stronger than Qian Daoliu, so she chose Tang Chen.
Of course, it cannot be denied that there was mutual affection between them, but did it really reach the point of unwavering devotion?
In Xiao Tian's view, that was not necessarily the case.
The reason the three of them knew each other was because Spirit Hall attacked Sea God Island, learned that there was a very powerful High Priest on Sea God Island, and only then did Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen go there.
The time they spent together was at most a few months. Would a person truly fall deeply in love in just a few months?
Poseidon had so much experience, Xiao Tian didn't think she was a love-struck fool, and the original work also didn't portray her as one.
Waiting for Tang Chen for decades, does that count?
Don't be ridiculous, even if Tang Chen didn't appear, with Poseidon's personality, she wouldn't find someone weaker than her.
There's a 'generation gap' between the strong and the weak.
As for the two of them finally embracing each other and dissipating into the world, it looked beautiful, but upon closer thought.
They were originally two people who had mutual affection, and they were both about to die, so what's wrong with embracing each other?
At that time, Poseidon must have also come to terms with it.
If Poseidon was truly a love-struck fool for Tang Chen, she wouldn't have tried to kill Tang San when he was undergoing the Sea God's trial.
Compared to life, what was Tang Chen's great-grandson?
If Tang San really died, and then Tang Chen came to find her and learned that his direct great-grandson, who possessed twin spirits, was killed by Poseidon, how would Poseidon face Tang Chen?
So, essentially, Poseidon was a very rational person. Being a love-struck fool for Tang Chen was completely nonexistent.
Otherwise, she could have occasionally gone to the continent to inquire about news, or even sent someone to deliver a message to Qian Daoliu to ask about Tang Chen's recent situation, but she didn't.
True love-struck fools don't behave this way.
Like Xiao Wu, Ah Yin, Hu Liena, and even Gu Yuena, which one wasn't more of a love-struck fool than Poseidon?
Xiao Tian said indifferently, "Senior Poseidon, you are very rational. Your thoughts are probably the same as Tang Chen's and Qian Daoliu's. You are all super Douluo like them, and you are so beautiful. It's only normal for those two old men to be moved."
Poseidon: .
Yes, this was also one of the reasons for her rationality. As a woman who had never been in love, actively hinting at the two of them back then was the most she could do.
For her to pursue Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu? That was basically impossible.
Although Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu were roughly the same age as her, they were already at the age of being great-grandfathers, and they had been married and had descendants.
For her to actively pursue them, she always felt it was a bit...
It made it seem like no one would look at a super Douluo like her.
"Alright, Senior Poseidon, since you have nothing else, please leave my Sect. Of course, if you want to stay and visit, I won't mind either."
Poseidon was very puzzled, "Aren't you afraid that if I stay, I'll threaten you with the lives of others to let Tang Chen go?"
Xiao Tian said indifferently, "You won't. Of course, if you want to try, you can, but I will guarantee that your Sea God Island will sink to the bottom of the sea, and you will definitely be killed by me. As for whether you will kill the people I care about in between, well, you can try if you have time to act."
Although Xiao Tian's tone was calm, it carried a domineering and confident aura, which also made Poseidon feel a sense of unease.
More than that, she was curious, what exactly was Xiao Tian capable of?
And of course, she didn't know that as long as she dared to harbor a thought detrimental to the Sect, the Xuanyuan Sword Embryo would instantly pierce her body the moment she activated her Spirit Ability.
Sword cultivators and sentient swords are very sensitive to malice.
This was also why the Xuanyuan Sword Embryo had no reaction when Poseidon appeared in the Sect.
The Xuanyuan Sword Embryo was very clear about the strength of everyone in the Sect. Currently, the strongest combat power was Dugu Bo, a ninety-seventh-level Super Douluo.
In other words, as long as the incoming person exceeded ninety-seven levels, then the Sect would be in danger.
Even if there was a 98% chance of safety, what was the difference between that and entrusting danger to others?
How many people would die in the remaining 0.2%?
