Above the iridescent clouds of the God Realm, the Water God was combing through the Law of the Water Element in her temple. Suddenly, a deep blue Divine Thought message broke through the air and condensed into lines of flowing text before her.
"Water God, are you aware that an organization called the Axis Cult is absorbing the Power Of Faith in the Lower Realm to create a God position?"
Upon seeing the sender's identity, the Water God couldn't help but be slightly shocked: "Lord Sea God? As one of the three Law Enforcement Gods of the God Realm, he is busy with a thousand tasks a day; how could he notice an emerging Sect in the Lower Realm? Could it be that that little girl Furina has done something earth-shattering again?"
She frowned slightly, her slender fingers drawing a water mirror in front of her. As the mirror surface rippled, it revealed the scene of the Axis Cult headquarters on the Douluo Continent. It was here that she had originally discovered that unique girl—Furina.
However, when the scene in the water mirror became clear, the Water God couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes.
She saw that the Axis Cult, which had originally only preached in the vicinity of Fontaine, now had branches or traces of believers throughout the Star Luo Empire, with such a vast scope. And countless believers were praying and kneeling devoutly before the statues in various branches, the dense Power Of Faith almost condensing into substance.
"This... it's been less than a year..." the Water God muttered in disbelief, "It has actually already covered more than half the country?"
She remembered very clearly that the first God Trial she had set for Furina was to have the Axis Cult's faith cover a country within five years. But now, it seemed this goal could be easily completed in the second year. Such an astonishing rate of development completely exceeded her expectations.
"If I had known this, I should have limited the time to three years..." the Water God shook her head with a wry smile, "It seems I have to prepare more generous rewards; after all, this is completing the God Trial ahead of schedule."
Although she was a bit annoyed at having underestimated Furina's ability, deep down, a sense of gratification welled up in the Water God. The junior she had discovered by chance showed potential far beyond her imagination.
In time, she might really be able to surpass her husband, the Fire God. Then she could help herself teach her husband a good lesson—Fire something, who told him to always go against her! Hmph!
Collecting her thoughts, the Water God immediately replied to Tang San: "Lord Sea God, I am already aware of this matter. This young successor began accepting my Water God Trial a year ago, and I believe she will be able to officially inherit the God position soon."
Her tone carried a hint of pride and protectiveness, "Even if you are Lord Sea God, a God King of the God Realm, I cannot give this successor to you. After all, finding such an excellent junior is not easy, and I also want to abdicate the God position soon so I can have a good rest."
"I hope the Fire God can also find a suitable successor soon, so that we two can go out and play."
...
Inside the Sea God Temple, Tang San looked at the Water God's reply, his fingertips gently tapping the armrest of his divine throne.
"So that's how it is, it turns out to be a successor already chosen by the Water God..." he whispered thoughtfully, "In that case, I might be able to try to pull her into my camp."
He quickly replied to the Water God: "Water God, you worry too much; I was just asking about the situation out of curiosity. Since she is your successor, naturally I will not snatch her away. Moreover, I have also found a suitable candidate for a successor, it just needs some time for testing."
After replying through Divine Thought, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Tang San's mouth.
The so-called "suitable successor candidate" was nothing more than an excuse to cover eyes and ears. He had never truly considered giving up the God position; after all, that would mean giving up all the power he currently possessed, and he didn't want to give that up. Moreover, if that were really the case, it would be exactly what the God of Destruction wanted to see; after all, he was always going against him and had a certain influence on his control of the God Realm's power.
This statement was just to facilitate his subsequent action plan.
