"when--"
The golden scepter in Poseidon's hand slipped uncontrollably from her palm and crashed heavily into the void, emitting a crisp hum.
Her deep, ocean-like eyes were now churning with turbulent waves.
The peace and tranquility of the past century were shattered in an instant before this golden trident mark!
"Poseidon...the trident..."
Poseidon's voice trembled violently, even carrying a hint of uncontrollable sobs.
She waited bitterly for nearly a hundred years, and finally... she got her wish!
The Nine Trials of Poseidon!
This is the supreme divine test that only the true successor of the Sea God is qualified to undergo!
The next second, Poseidon, who had been high above and mighty, like a god descending to earth,
Without warning, he withdrew the overwhelming pressure of a Limit Douluo that was capable of destroying the world.
She flashed, transforming into a streak of red light, and landed in front of Dugu Yan with an almost urgent speed.
Under Dugu Bo's shocked yet secretly pleased gaze, this level 99 Limit Douluo,
The high priest of Poseidon Island knelt down on one knee in mid-air without hesitation.
With her right hand on her chest, she lowered her noble head deeply!
"Poseidon, High Priestess of Poseidon Island..."
Poseidon's voice, filled with utmost piety, echoed throughout the entire sea:
"Greetings to the Sea God's appointed successor!"
As Poseidon knelt down, the sea goddess Douluo, who had been in a dazed state on the sea surface below,
At this moment, it was as if she had just woken up from a dream, and then an endless wave of fear and lingering dread overwhelmed her.
She actually... killed the successor of the Sea God?!
"The guardian of the sacred pillars, the sea maiden..."
Ignoring the excruciating pain churning within her body, the Sea Maiden Douluo immediately knelt on the surface of the sea.
His forehead was pressed tightly against the water's surface, his voice trembling with barely concealed fear:
"I was unaware of the arrival of the Sea God's successor and have committed many offenses, deserving of death!"
Please summon someone to punish them!
quiet.
A deathly silence.
The sea area, which was just moments ago tense and on the verge of a massive battle, is now filled only with the sound of rolling waves.
Dugu Yan was startled by this sudden turn of events.
He subconsciously shrank back behind Dugu Bo.
"this..."
Dugu Yan turned to look at her grandfather.
Dugu Bo was overjoyed inside, but on the surface he maintained the arrogance and aloofness of a titled Douluo.
Dugu Bo put his hands behind his back, raised his chin slightly, and snorted coldly:
"High Priest, as I just said, this is a misunderstanding."
This female warrior, without distinguishing right from wrong, immediately used a deadly move against my granddaughter.
"If it weren't for my remaining abilities, the successor of the Sea God would likely have perished outside Sea God Island today!"
Dugu Bo's words were extremely hurtful.
As expected, Poseidon abruptly raised her head upon hearing this.
A chilling glint flashed in those beautiful eyes as they coldly swept over the kneeling Sea Maiden Douluo below.
The Sea Maiden Douluo felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, her whole body trembling like a leaf, and she repeatedly kowtowed:
"High Priest, spare my life!"
Please spare my life, my disciple!
I really don't know..."
"Alright, ignorance is no excuse."
Just as Poseidon was about to issue a punishment, Dugu Bo heard Yu Nan's guidance in his mind again.
He understood immediately, patted Dugu Yan on the shoulder, and gestured for her to speak.
Dugu Yan understood immediately, stepped forward, and the golden trident on her forehead emitted a soft halo.
She mimicked the tone Yu Nan had taught her, speaking calmly and authoritatively:
"The high priest please arise.
The female divers were simply doing their duty to protect Poseidon Island.
Since it was a misunderstanding, it's good that it's been cleared up; there's no need for punishment.
Upon hearing Dugu Yan's magnanimous words, Poseidon's eyes shone with even greater excitement and awe.
He is neither arrogant nor impatient, and has a broad mind. He is indeed worthy of being the successor chosen by the Sea God!
"Thank you for your forgiveness, successor!"
Poseidon bowed deeply once more before slowly rising to his feet.
The look in her eyes as she gazed at Dugu Yan was now filled with the loving kindness of an elder looking at a younger generation, as well as an almost fanatical faith.
Then, she turned to look at Dugu Bo, her attitude undergoing a complete 180-degree turn, her tone becoming gentle and polite:
"Elder Dugu has rendered meritorious service in protecting the Dao. All of us on Poseidon Island express our gratitude to you."
I apologize for any offense I may have caused, Elder.
A level 99 Limit Douluo actually used honorifics with himself!
Dugu Bo felt as if every pore on his body had opened up, and he had never felt so triumphant in his life.
"No problem, no problem."
Dugu Bo waved his hand, suppressing a smile from the corner of his mouth.
"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, are we, grandfather and grandson, qualified to set foot on the island?"
"That's natural!"
Poseidon turned slightly to the side and gently waved his scepter towards the direction of Poseidon Island.
In an instant, the mist and storm that had enveloped the island of Poseidon automatically parted to the sides.
A wide avenue, formed from pure seawater and shimmering with azure light, stretched from beneath their feet all the way to the deepest part of Poseidon Island.
"Successor, Elder Dugu, please come with me."
Poseidon bowed slightly and gestured for her to proceed.
"The Temple of Poseidon is now open to you."
Stepping onto that azure avenue formed from pure seawater, a rich, almost tangible oceanic aura, along with the primordial energy of heaven and earth, rushes towards you.
Dugu Bo remained outwardly calm, his hands behind his back, exuding an air of profound mystery and superiority.
But inside, a storm was brewing.
The density of the spiritual energy on this Seagod Island is even more exaggerated than that of his Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye!
If you cultivate here, even a pig could probably cultivate into a soul beast!
Dugu Yan looked around curiously, sensing the water-attribute aura that felt so welcoming to her.
The golden trident mark between his brows also emitted a faint resonance.
Poseidon, who was walking at the very front, paused slightly.
She didn't turn around, but only glanced sideways, her deep eyes calmly sweeping over the Sea Maiden Douluo who was still kneeling on the sea surface.
"Haenyeo."
Poseidon's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of the Sea Maiden Douluo:
"Although today's events were a misunderstanding, they also revealed that you acted too hastily."
Considering the magnanimity of your successor, I will spare you from the death penalty.
He returned to the Sea Maiden Pillar to reflect on his actions in seclusion, without my order or the summons of his successor.
You must not leave without permission.
Go and get your injury healed.
Upon hearing these words, the Sea Maiden Douluo felt as if she had been granted a pardon, her pale face filled with tears of gratitude.
"Thank you, High Priest!"
Many thanks to the successor for their grace!
She kowtowed deeply again in the direction of Dugu Yan.
Then it transformed into a stream of water and slunk away towards a distant, towering sea god pillar.
After dealing with the Sea Maiden Douluo, Poseidon turned around again.
At this moment, when facing Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, she no longer possessed the imposing aura of a Limit Douluo.
Instead, it is replaced by a gentle, spring-like warmth and the kindness of an elder.
"Successor, Elder Dugu."
As Poseidon led the way, she spoke softly, her tone revealing an undisguised curiosity:
"Forgive Poseidon for his poor eyesight."
I observed that the soul power fluctuations emanating from the two of you were profound, but they lacked the aura of a sea soul master who shared the same origin as the ocean.
"You two... must be land-based Soul Masters from the inland, right?"
"May I ask where you two are from on the mainland?"
How did the successor receive the divine guidance of the Sea God?
