"This day has finally come. Is this the will of the Sea God?"
Inside the Sea God Hall, Bo Saixi gazed at the sacred light filling the sky, a complex expression flashing in her eyes before she slowly rose and vanished from her spot.
At this moment, Sea God Island, both living and inanimate, was bathed in a special golden glow, and the center of it all was undoubtedly Xu Nianshuang, beneath the Sea Witch's Sacred Pillar.
Before Xu Nianshuang, nine square golden light screens appeared out of thin air. The light on the first screen was the brightest, while the other eight appeared somewhat dim.
In a flash, these light screens, like golden meteors, drifted directly into her glabella.
A golden trident mark appeared in the center of her glabella. The faint golden trident gave her a sense of majestic nobility. Even though she merely stood there, she inexplicably carried an air of looking down upon all living beings.
"Sure enough, Sister Shuang'er succeeded," Yang Yiyi said with a somewhat complex expression upon seeing this scene.
"No regrets? If you had gone up first, perhaps you would have obtained the Sea God Nine Trials," Xu Tianyang said softly to Yang Yiyi beside him.
"Of course not!" Yang Yiyi shook her head playfully at his words, then winked at Xu Tianyang, saying, "Rather than being the Sea God, I'd rather stay by Brother Tianyang's side. I can't leave Sea God Island until the Sea God Nine Trials are completed, and I can't stand that."
"Besides, Brother Tianyang, you said that the Sea God also has a light attribute. Although my Blue Silver Grass's main attribute is life, it also has dark and devouring attributes, which conflict with the light attribute. Overall, Sister Shuang'er is the most suitable."
"You're so clever!" Xu Tianyang lightly tapped Yang Yiyi's head.
Ning Linglong looked at the now majestic Xu Nianshuang, her conviction in her original idea growing stronger. This era belonged to Xu Tianyang and to the Sun Moon Empire. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School did not change, it would definitely face a dead end in the future.
"This… there's also a Top Nine Trials?" The Sea Witch was completely stunned at this moment, her eyes filled with confusion as she looked at Xu Nianshuang.
The High Priest had the Top Eight Trials, which was already the pinnacle. Were there still Nine Trials above that?
"Leave the rest to me. This isn't the Top Nine Trials, but the Sea God Nine Trials," a leisurely voice suddenly came from afar, beautiful and melodious, yet tinged with a hint of complex emotion.
Everyone merely felt the space distort slightly, and the next moment, Bo Saixi appeared before the Sea Witch's Sacred Pillar, holding a golden scepter.
"Another Limit Douluo!"
"She has a faint divine force on her, unlike Tang Chen's, which was his own. Hers seems to be borrowed, not belonging to her."
"Is this a divine attendant? If she fully unleashes her power, I don't think I could defeat her."
The moment Bo Saixi appeared, Snow Empress and the others began discussing, their gazes revealing curiosity.
"Greetings, High Priest!" The Sea Witch bowed slightly to Bo Saixi.
"I never expected the Sea God's successor to appear in my generation, and to have already received the Sea God's approval," Bo Saixi nodded to the Sea Witch, then looked at Xu Nianshuang with a complex expression, her gaze fixed on the golden trident mark on her forehead.
Her entire life had been dedicated to Sea God Island. Her mission had only two parts: to await the appearance of the Sea God's inheritor, or to await the birth of the next High Priest of Sea God Island.
The former's appearance meant that her life had begun its countdown. Bo Saixi was devout to the Sea God; she was willing to make sacrifices for him.
However, the long wait, coupled with Tang Chen's appearance, had caused a slight wavering in her heart. She was unwilling to sacrifice herself for the new Sea God; she had not yet seen Tang Chen again.
"Senior Bo Saixi!" Xu Tianyang and the others slightly cupped their hands towards Bo Saixi, showing respect for a powerful individual.
Bo Saixi's figure flashed, avoiding their salutations. Only then did her gaze fall upon Xu Tianyang, revealing a look of surprise.
With her experience, she had not expected such an outstanding young man to exist.
"You are individuals recognized by the Sea God; there's no need for such formality," Bo Saixi looked at Xu Tianyang and said, "The Sea God said that he doesn't care about others, but you must begin the trial."
Xu Tianyang was slightly taken aback, touching the Sea God's Heart in his palm. What new trick was Sea God playing on him now?
He always felt there was a trap laid by the other party, waiting for him to jump in. Xu Tianyang thought, then slowly stepped forward, walking before the Sacred Pillar.
This time, Bo Saixi personally presided over the ceremony, initiating his trial. A rich glow reappeared, and unlike Xu Nianshuang, a blue trident mark appeared on his forehead.
"What kind of trial is this?" The Sea Witch was stunned once again, looking at the mark on Xu Tianyang's forehead. A blue mark?
Bo Saixi also looked at Xu Tianyang with curiosity. She had never felt the Sea God show such favor—or rather, 'fawn over'—a young man.
After receiving the information in his mind, Xu Tianyang's eyelids twitched slightly. He had obtained the Sea God's First Trial. The content of the trial was simple: ensure Xu Nianshuang completed the Sea God Nine Trials. If Xu Nianshuang failed, the Sea God's First Trial would automatically upgrade to the Sea God Nine Trials.
Good heavens, he was completely tied to this… You, Xu Tianyang, want Xu Nianshuang to inherit the God Position, don't you? No problem, I've given you the opportunity. If you don't complete the trial, then you, Xu Tianyang, will obediently come and inherit the Sea God's God Position.
In short, this Sea God's God Position, Sea God would pass it on no matter what.
No one could stop his pursuit of freedom.
"Do these two young ladies also want to try?" Bo Saixi seemed to know the content of Xu Tianyang's trial and said nothing more, instead looking at Yang Yiyi and Ning Linglong and asking.
"You two decide for yourselves," Xu Tianyang said with a light chuckle, sensing the two women's gazes on him.
"I won't. I still need to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School," Ning Linglong said with a gentle smile, declining.
They had already understood that once the trial began, they couldn't leave Sea God Island, and the trial couldn't be completed in a short time. She still had to return to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to 'set things right,' so she could only miss out on the trial.
"I also don't plan to undertake the trial. I still need to help Brother Tianyang win the Soul Master Competition a year from now," Yang Yiyi also shook her head. Her inner thought was to speed up her progress with Xu Tianyang while Xu Nianshuang was away.
Upon hearing this, although a hint of regret flashed in Xu Nianshuang's eyes, her character was firm, and she would not waver in her determination to become stronger.
"Then, during this time, I'll entrust Shuang'er to Senior's care. A year from now, I'll bring others to accompany Shuang'er," Xu Tianyang said to Bo Saixi after some thought.
After the Soul Master Competition, he would send Zui Hongchen and others to cultivate here. There was no God more generous than the Sea God. He couldn't miss out on this opportunity to benefit.
