"Destruction! What are you saying!?"
Upon hearing the words of the God of Destruction, Poseidon angrily said, "This is the successor I finally found. Not only have you ruined my legacy, but you also want to leave with just a word. What right do you have?"
"Because I am the God of Destruction! The King of Gods, while you, Poseidon, are merely a chief god."
The god of destruction, however, ignored Poseidon's wrath, or perhaps he simply didn't care.
There are only five god-kings in the divine realm. He, the god of destruction, plus his wife, the goddess of life, already make two. They also have many chief gods under their command. How can Poseidon, a chief god who has just been promoted, fight against him?
Then, the God of Destruction patted Poseidon on the shoulder and continued, "Poseidon, you've only been ascended for a few years. You should continue to mature and consolidate your abilities. You can't handle Qing Mu!"
"No, you can't do this! I'm going to the Divine Realm Committee!"
Poseidon lamented.
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the God of Destruction. He had made himself so clear, yet this Poseidon still didn't know what was good for him and wanted to cause trouble at the Council of Gods. Did he really think he wouldn't dare to take action?
Suddenly, Poseidon felt a bone-chilling cold.
"Oh no, this guy, Destruction, is he really going to attack? My little body can't withstand more than a few of his attacks!"
Poseidon instantly regained his senses and realized something was wrong.
Although he seemed carefree and irresponsible, he was still clear about the difference between a main god and a god-king. If the god-king was really going to make a move, even if he was stronger than a typical main god, the final result would not change.
He wouldn't be too worried about other god-kings openly killing the chief god, but if it were the God of Destruction, that would be a different story.
The God of Destruction is known for his obsessive nature; once he has made up his mind, even his wife, the Goddess of Life, cannot change it—this is a fact acknowledged by all the gods in the divine realm.
However, at this moment, the goddess of life spoke up: "Poseidon, even if you take this to the council of the gods, the final result will not change. In the end, you will only lose face."
"If you had already begun the inheritance process, then our intervention would indeed be unreasonable. But the problem is that you haven't started the inheritance process yet."
"I had already started it, but you stopped me!"
Poseidon retorted.
"So what if it is?"
The goddess of life smiled, a smile that seemed to make winter flowers bloom. "If we were to say at the Divine Council that we intend to pass on our divine positions, what do you think the other gods would choose?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Poseidon fell silent.
How to choose? What else could we choose? Of course, we'd give Qingmu to these two!
The goddess of life goes without saying. Due to her special divine position and kind nature, many gods have received her kindness. Once the voting begins, not only Poseidon's, but even the other three god-kings would not be able to win.
As for the God of Destruction, although the situation is different, if a vote were to be held, his votes would be comparable to those of the God of Life.
Because of the dangerous tendencies of the God of Destruction, many gods in the divine realm have seen through them. Now that he says he wants to choose a god to pass on the throne, countless gods are eager to send him away!
Compared to sending away the God of Destruction, stealing a successor from Poseidon who hasn't even officially started his inheritance is nothing at all.
However, even though he knew this, Poseidon was still very unwilling.
This is so frustrating, so incredibly frustrating!
The successor he had finally found was snatched away by someone else, and he was powerless to do anything about it. He, Poseidon, had never felt so frustrated in his entire life!
"Um?"
Just then, Poseidon seemed to sense something, and the previous gloom instantly dissipated.
Then, Poseidon laughed at the god of destruction and the goddess of life in front of him, "Hahaha, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. How could I, Poseidon, possibly compete with you two for someone?"
Poseidon's sudden change of attitude surprised the god of destruction and the goddess of life. Wasn't Poseidon a bit too flexible?
Then, Poseidon smiled and said, "Man belongs to two, but other things have taken away the gods. Shouldn't you grant me a small request?"
"You said that since you've given Qingmu to us, we can discuss anything as long as it's not too outrageous."
Seeing that Poseidon was being so agreeable, the God of Destruction couldn't afford to be too aggressive.
After all, no matter what, he was the one who stole Poseidon's inheritance, so he felt somewhat guilty.
The Goddess of Life nodded, agreeing with the God of Destruction's statement.
Upon witnessing the actions of the goddess of life and the god of destruction, Poseidon's smile grew even brighter.
"In that case, is it alright if I want a frog?"
......
Poseidon Island.
In front of the Seahorse Pillar.
Seahorse Douluo's eyes widened in disbelief, for he saw that after the golden pillar of light shattered, it actually reformed and then descended from the sky, enveloping Ivysaur beside Qing Mu.
Ivysaur was bathed in golden light, and a golden mark of Poseidon's trident slowly formed on its forehead.
At the same time, two beams of light descended from the sky.
A grayish-black color tinged with purple, containing a terrifying aura of destruction, as if even a trace of it could cause irreversible damage to the world.
The other light was aquamarine green, with wisps of golden light around it, containing a powerful life force, as if taking a breath of it would bring immense benefits.
The dark gray beam of light went straight towards Qing Mu, while the light green beam rushed towards Ye Lingling, who was standing next to Qing Mu.
Two beams of light enveloped the two almost instantly, making Ivysaur, which was shrouded in golden light, somewhat anxious.
The two beams of light were moving too fast, and he was enveloped in the golden light, so he was unable to support the two of them at all.
Just then, Ivysaur seemed to see a majestic figure, followed by a voice resounding in his mind:
"This...frog, I am Poseidon, the god of the sea. From this day forward, you are my successor. I hope you will pass the test soon and inherit my divine position as the god of the sea!"
......
In the realm of gods, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, witnessing this scene, stood frozen in place, staring at Poseidon, unsure of what to say.
After an unknown amount of time, the God of Destruction finally spoke up and exclaimed, "Poseidon, you have truly opened our eyes. We never imagined that a god could be so shameless."
Even though the God of Destruction knew some of Poseidon's past actions, he was once again shocked by Poseidon's shamelessness.
It's shocking that Poseidon would pass on his divine position to a frog. Although the frog has a human martial soul, martial souls and soul masters are one in Douluo Continent, so it's absurd that this could succeed.
