"Achoo~"
"Damn it, I feel like some god is scheming against me!"
In the Divine Realm, Poseidon sneezed and muttered to himself.
Ever since he parted ways with Shura last time, he had been feeling a chill down his spine, as if some formidable figure was watching him.
But recently, Shura hadn't contacted him, and there was nothing unusual happening, which was quite strange.
What Poseidon didn't know was that Shura was indeed plotting against him. However, he was unaware that he was the last one to be targeted!
Moreover, he was the kind of clueless fool who would only realize the truth at the very end.
"Wait, something's not right, something's off!"
"There's a formidable figure on Sea God Island!"
Poseidon's pupils contracted, and his divine sense instantly descended upon Sea God Island.
This was his inheritance ground. Whether it was his divine sense or his divine soul descending, Shura had no say in it.
If Sea God Island were on the verge of destruction, Poseidon had the right to intervene.
Of course, if it were Tang San, he would never come…
"Who are you, and why have you trespassed on Sea God Island?"
Sea God High Priest, Bo Saixi, trembled all over, but her gaze was firm. The power of her faith made her stand her ground.
Standing before them was the MVP of the Archon God War, the most arrogant of the Seven Archons, the protector of the people of Liyue, the mentor and friend of the Liyue immortals.
Today, the weather was clear with a gentle breeze.
It should have been a pleasant day, but Sea God Island welcomed an uninvited guest!
A terrifying being, wrapped in amber light and covered in ancient runes.
With every move he made, Sea God Island shook as if an earthquake had struck.
Such a powerhouse was not only unheard of but also unseen.
"I'm here for Poseidon. Bring him out!"
Zhongli spoke expressionlessly. He hadn't come to Sea God Island to cause trouble.
There was no enmity or conflict between him and Poseidon.
His purpose for seeking Poseidon was simply to visit the Divine Realm.
The Divine Realm floated in another dimension and was constantly shifting. Without knowing the entrance, finding it would be quite difficult.
Finding the entrance was much easier than asking directly, wasn't it?
"..."Bo Saixi and the people of Sea God Island were stunned. This person was here for the Sea God?
He called the Sea God by his name, so he was…
Wait, he looked like someone not to be trifled with!
How strong was a level 99 powerhouse? Bo Saixi knew very well.
Whether in the sky, on land, or in the sea, a level 99 powerhouse couldn't reach the heights of the person before them.
"Esteemed God, may I ask why you seek the Sea God? He ascended to the Divine Realm over 20,000 years ago…"
Bo Saixi spoke cautiously. While they had to uphold the glory of the Sea God lineage, it was clear that if they resisted now, only destruction awaited them.
Zhongli glanced at Bo Saixi. This woman, who had captured the hearts of two peerless powerhouses, was indeed beautiful, but that was all.
"Poseidon, I know you're watching. This is your Sea God's Heart. Come out and meet me. Answer one question, and I'll return it."
Facing a god, one should be magnanimous. Zhongli referred to himself as "this god."
He took out the Sea God's Heart and held it in his hand, waiting quietly for Poseidon's response.
At this moment, the entire Sea God Island was in an uproar!
They never expected the lost Sea God's Heart to be in the hands of this god.
As for Bo Saixi, she was also puzzled. Her guess had been correct.
But the Sea God had already ascended…
"So it's the Martial God who has arrived. Poseidon failed to welcome you properly!"
Just as everyone thought the Sea God wouldn't descend, Poseidon appeared!
Though it was just a wisp of divine sense, he had indeed descended.
Because the Sea God's Heart was in Zhongli's hands!
That was a necessary item for inheriting the Sea God's position. Without it, the successor would surely die.
He never expected the Sea God's Heart to be in the hands of the Martial God. After all, even Shura was wary of this Martial God.
Calling him "lord" was giving him enough face.
"Sss~"
Both the people of Sea God Island and the sea creatures observing couldn't help but gasp.
The Sea God was the faith of the people of Sea God Island and most sea creatures, yet he called this god "lord"!
What kind of existence was this?
From afar, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's remaining eye showed a trace of disbelief.
In its memory, the Sea God was the most powerful being. Overthrowing the Sea God was its goal.
But now, the Sea God was…
It was somewhat disappointing.
"Poseidon, I don't want to waste words. Tell me the location of the Divine Realm, and I'll return the Sea God's Heart."
Zhongli spoke expressionlessly, floating in the air. An immense power seemed to radiate from him, making even Poseidon's scalp tingle and his eyelids twitch.
Wait, what did this Martial God mean?
Was he… planning to attack the Divine Realm?
Swallowing hard, Poseidon felt a bit panicked.
The Sea God's Heart had to be retrieved, but he couldn't betray the Divine Realm!
If he led Zhongli into the village… no, if he led Zhongli into the Divine Realm and caused a disaster, he would be the Divine Realm's greatest traitor.
"Martial God, let's discuss this calmly."
"As long as you're not planning to attack the Divine Realm, everything else can be negotiated…"
Poseidon spoke cautiously, afraid to offend this seemingly formidable being.
Even if it were his true body here, he would only be trembling in fear.
Too terrifying!
That boundless aura of slaughter was like a living Demon God!
Zhongli was momentarily stunned, feeling a bit confused. What was Poseidon imagining?
"I'm only here to collect some divine energy. I have no intention of attacking the Divine Realm. Why would you think that?"
Poseidon: "..."
Your appearance clearly suggests you're here to cause trouble, and you're talking about collecting some divine energy?
Liar!
But at this level of power, gods generally couldn't lie, or they'd face divine retribution!
Even if divine retribution couldn't kill a god, it would cost them a great deal of fortune.
For a god, losing fortune was worse than death.
"Wait, is my Sea God's Heart worth less than some divine energy?"
Poseidon fell into deep thought, feeling both confused and stunned.
The Sea God's Heart contained four skills. Though it was a "soul tool," it was also an extraordinary soul bone and the core of the Sea God's inheritance.
Was this thing worth less than some divine energy?
Thinking of this, Poseidon nearly vomited blood. He felt insulted.
After some consideration, Poseidon finally revealed the location of the Divine Realm to Zhongli.
If the sky fell, the Five Great God Kings would handle it. He still had time to escape, so it didn't matter!
Without the Sea God's Heart, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape!
