Upon hearing Poseidon's words, Seahorse Douluo was slightly taken aback. What? They were also going to participate in the Sea God's Trial?
But since this was the High Priest's order, he bowed slightly and replied, "Yes, High Priest!"
Immediately, Seahorse Douluo smiled at Qing Mu and the others and said, "Distinguished guests, please follow me."
After watching Qing Mu and the others leave, Poseidon's figure vanished instantly. She went to the temple of the sea god, burned incense, and began to communicate with the sea god.
God Realm, Poseidon Temple.
Poseidon looked at the scene below and smiled, a rare occurrence. "It's finally here. I can start the sea god's test soon."
Poseidon felt extremely fortunate. It seemed that the other gods didn't pay much attention to Douluo Continent. Otherwise, it was impossible that such an excellent successor as Qing Mu hadn't yet been put to a divine test by any god.
But this is fine too. I, Poseidon, will accept such an outstanding, even somewhat extraordinary, successor.
As for whether Qingmu can pass the divine test, Poseidon is not worried at all.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was originally the eighth test he had prepared. He had originally estimated that even his successor, wielding the Trident of the Sea God, would need to be level 99 to kill it.
However, Qing Mu achieved this at level 90, even before he had attached his ninth soul ring, and it was an instant kill with overwhelming force.
With such strength, how could they possibly fail the test he set?
On Poseidon Island, led by Seahorse Douluo, Qing Mu and the others arrived at the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.
"This is the Holy Pillar that distributes the assessments. The Holy Pillar will assess your abilities based on what it can detect, and then give you all a suitable assessment. Who would like to try first?"
Seahorse Douluo stood beside the majestic Seahorse Sacred Pillar and explained to Qing Mu and the others.
"I'll go first!"
Qing Tianfeng looked around and volunteered to be the first to be tested.
After hearing Qing Tianfeng's words, Seahorse Douluo nodded and said to Qing Tianfeng, "Okay, you just need to place your hands on the Holy Pillar and relax!"
However, just as Qing Tianfeng was about to step forward for the assessment, the Seahorse Saint Pillar suddenly emitted a dazzling clear blue light.
Immediately afterwards, a blue beam of light descended from the sky, heading straight towards Qing Mu.
"Da na~"
Suddenly, the Ivysaur beside Qing Mu opened its mouth and swallowed the light like a whale gulping down water, even letting out a burp!
Because it happened so fast, those around didn't even have time to react before it was over.
Ye Lingling was the first to react, rushing to Qing Mu's side and anxiously asking, "Qing Mu, are you alright? Is there anything wrong with your body?"
Seeing this, the others also realized what was happening and gathered around Qingmu and Ivysaur.
Just then, the Seahorse Sacred Pillar seemed to be enraged, and an even more surging blue light flew out from the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, instantly enveloping Qing Mu and his group.
Seahorse Douluo stared blankly at the scene.
What did he just see?
Without his guidance or supervision, the Holy Pillar started the test on its own and rushed towards the boy who looked to be under twenty years old!
And after failing, he seemed to get angry and then immediately started testing everyone.
This completely overturned his previous experience, to the point that he wondered if there was something wrong with the sacred pillar.
"Seahorse, do not panic, this is the will of the Sea God."
At that moment, Poseidon's voice suddenly appeared in Seahorse Douluo's mind.
"What? It's actually the decree of the Sea God?"
Upon hearing this, Seahorse Douluo's eyes widened. Just who was this young man? Why was the Sea God so eager to bestow upon him the Sea God's Trial?
Just as Seahorse Douluo was lost in thought, Poseidon's figure reappeared: "Qing Mu is the successor chosen by the Sea God. His current strength is so great that even I am no match for him. Even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King has already transformed into Qing Mu's ninth soul ring."
"this..."
Upon hearing this, Seahorse Douluo's heart was immediately filled with shock. The Sea God's chosen successor, whose strength surpassed that of High Priestess Poseidon, and who killed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King as his ninth soul ring—all these things were impacting Seahorse's mind.
Is this something a human could do?
Just when Seahorse Douluo was questioning his existence, the Seahorse Sacred Pillar underwent another change.
The Seahorse Pillar changed color almost instantly, from blue to white, then yellow, purple, black, and red, and continued to deepen until it reached blood red in the blink of an eye.
And even after the Seahorse Pillar turned blood red, it still didn't stop.
A massive crimson pillar of light shot into the sky from the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, accompanied by the continuous roar of waves emanating from the pillar, causing the entire Inner Sea to boil.
A giant wave, hundreds of meters high and radiating a strong, hazy blue light, surged up from the sea, making the entire Poseidon Island seem to tremble.
At the same time, six identical giant crimson pillars of light shot into the sky, merging with the crimson pillar of light emanating from the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.
After the seven crimson beams of light converged, the crimson color within them began to fade, gradually transforming into a brilliant gold.
The entire island of Poseidon stared in disbelief at this scene. Even though they had lived on Poseidon Island all their lives, they had never seen anything like it.
Then, the golden beam of light rushed towards Qing Mu's location at an astonishing speed!
However, at this very moment, a sudden change occurred!
A massive, dense, gray-black beam of light pierced through the clouds and descended from the sky, instantly shattering the beam of light that was about to turn golden.
Meanwhile, in the realm of gods.
"Oh dear, oh dear~~"
Inside the Temple of Poseidon, Poseidon stamped his feet in frustration and roared, "Who is it? Who dares to disrupt my divine trial and inheritance!"
You have to understand that he finally managed to select this extremely outstanding person from among many Soul Masters, someone who was almost 100% capable of inheriting his godhood.
However, just before the inheritance was about to begin, it was sabotaged by someone, which he could not swallow.
"It's me!"
The next moment, a person wearing a large purple cloak that covered his entire body appeared inside the temple of the sea god.
Beside this person was a stunningly beautiful goddess wearing a light green dress.
This goddess was full of life, with a faint smile on her face, and her body was faintly shrouded in a layer of gold.
These two people, or rather, these two gods, are the God of Destruction and his wife, the Goddess of Life, two of the five great god-kings of the divine realm.
The God of Destruction looked at Poseidon, who was somewhat exasperated, and said calmly, "Poseidon, I know you're in a hurry, but don't be!"
"We want Qingmu!"
