Chapter 97: The Expected Answer.
2023-04-04 Author: Fu Hejun
Sea God Island.
Bo Saixi looked at the question in the video, and her previously taut heart slowly relaxed.
[Question: Why was the man in the picture ultimately able to stop the natural disaster and save countless ocean beings?]
[Please answer within ten seconds!]
Regardless of the answer, the question itself reveals this much: The man in the future video successfully stopped the continued eruption of the submarine volcano, saving countless lives and the ocean!
"However, stopping such a natural disaster is impossible without a deity descending into the world. Did he truly become a god in the future? Could it be that he came to Sea God Island to inherit the Sea God's god position?" Bo Saixi speculated.
Becoming a god isn't that simple. According to records, their Lord Sea God also spent a thousand years conquering the Great Sea and gathering faith before finally becoming a god.
However, judging from the situation of the submarine volcano in the video, if a thousand years had passed, then the entire ocean would have likely been contaminated and destroyed by the submarine volcano long ago.
Therefore, there is only one possibility: the man in the video became a god in a short time. He then successfully saved the ocean beings with boundless divine power!
And if one wants to become a god in a short time, the only way is to inherit a god position.
So Bo Saixi had reason to believe that the man in the video most likely came to Sea God Island to inherit the Sea God's god position. However, it wasn't certain; it was possible he inherited a god position elsewhere. "This question is difficult to answer."
Bo Saixi furrowed her brows, looking at this public question. She hesitated whether or not to answer.
If the answer wasn't 100% certain to be correct, guessing correctly would be fine, but if she answered incorrectly, the punishment could be severe enough to be unbearable for her.
This was a gamble!
If it had been before knowing that the Great Sea would ultimately be saved, Bo Saixi, for the sake of the ocean beings, would naturally have chosen to take a gamble. But after knowing that the man in the future would quell the natural disaster and save the ocean beings, causing the crisis of the Great Sea to be resolved smoothly, she no longer had a reason to stake everything on a gamble.
After all, Bo Saixi was currently one of the few remaining Limit Douluo in this world, and moreover, the High Priest of Sea God Island. Her status and position were already at the peak of the Mortal Realm, unlike those who had nothing and suffered greatly, who would gamble for a reward. She had absolutely no reason to risk her life.
In the end, seeing that the ten-second countdown for the Q&A was about to end, and considering the punishment for answering incorrectly, as well as the unknown reward, Bo Saixi ultimately decided not to rush to answer.
Although anyone could answer in a public Q&A, only one person could receive the reward: the one who answered first and correctly.
If two people answered the question and submitted their answers simultaneously, and both their answers were correct, then one of the two would be randomly chosen as the lucky winner to receive the reward. As for the other person who also answered correctly, they would not receive a reward. However, they would also not receive any punishment.
This was a Q&A that tested luck.
Soon, the ten-second countdown ended.
During this period, many people rushed to answer.
Only ten seconds were given for people to rush to answer. If no one answered correctly within ten seconds, then the Q&A live broadcast room would directly announce the answer.
[He became a god!]
[Because he became a god!]
[He achieved godhood!]
[He received the Sea God's help!]
[He became a god...]
[He inherited the Sea God's god position!]
[He became the new Sea God!]
[He received the Sea God's help...]
The people who ultimately chose to participate in the rush to answer numbered tens of thousands. Their answers basically revolved around achieving godhood.
But there was only one lucky winner.
[Answer correct! Answer: He inherited the Sea God's god position!]
The live broadcast room announced the answer, but did not reveal who answered the question correctly, nor what the reward was.
After Bo Saixi in reality saw the correct answer, her expression showed a hint of melancholy, yet also seemed unsurprised. Because in her understanding, the only god related to the Great Sea was the Sea God.
Therefore, if one wanted to become a god in a short time, the greatest possibility was still to inherit the Sea God's god position. She had long been mentally prepared for this.
However, if others wanted to inherit the Sea God's god position, then she, as the High Priest, would ultimately have to sacrifice her life to open the final inheritance for the Inheritor. And because of this, since someone inherited the Sea God's god position in the future, she must have died due to sacrifice.
Bo Saixi's expression was silent. At this moment, the man who had once said he would never return until he became a god appeared in her mind. In the end... she still couldn't wait for him.
[Announcing the answer!]
The previously paused scene in the live broadcast room video began to flow once more.
After the magnificent man with long dark-blue hair finished his lament, he shook his head, turned, and left the place.
Next, the scene began to jump.
One could see the submarine volcano erupting, and the affected area growing larger and larger.
This magnificent man then patrolled the surroundings, following a path. Sometimes he would see people on small islands who, due to the submarine volcano eruption, had nowhere to escape. They could only wait for death in despair.
Every time he saw such a situation, he would conveniently save them. First, he would condense a large sheet of ice on the sea surface to serve as a boat, allowing the rescued people to stand on the ice sheet, then he would propel the seawater, pushing this massive ice sheet towards the distance.
The audience in the live broadcast room, through the scene, also simply understood that this magnificent man's martial soul was water. Pure water element! Because of this, he could easily control water within a certain range. Furthermore, he could condense water into ice, creating a large ice floe and leading the people to escape.
Gradually, more and more people were rescued along the way.
Therefore, the ice floe beneath the man's feet had its size and scope continuously expanded under his control. The rescued people simply set up temporary tents on the ice floe and temporarily settled down.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
The submarine volcano was still spreading, and its impact on the Great Sea was continuously expanding!
During this period, the magnificent man's rescued people also increased from the original few hundred to hundreds of thousands. The ice floe beneath his feet, originally used for standing, also expanded to an extremely exaggerated extent during this period.
From a distance, this massive ice floe looked almost like a small island. It simply drifted continuously in a certain direction with the seawater.
During this period of drifting on the Great Sea, the hundreds of thousands of people on the ice floe sustained themselves by fishing. As for fresh water, with a Titled Douluo whose martial soul was the water element present, there was naturally no shortage. He could easily extract large amounts of fresh water from the seawater and supply it to everyone.
Therefore, everyone was deeply grateful to this Titled Douluo who had saved their lives; they practically regarded him as a living deity!
The audience in the live broadcast room also, through the video, learned this magnificent man's name: Neptune.
This name might not be special in this world, but in another world, it represented—the Sea God!
