"So, what exactly do you want to do by coming to see me this time?"
"I don't believe you, who haven't been in touch for over a year, would take the initiative to come see me."
Shui Bing'er rolled her eyes at Pei Qing, a hint of reproach on her face.
"I'm sorry, I have indeed had some things to attend to over the past year, causing you all worry."
"This time, I didn't come specifically to see you, but rather to give you something."
Pei Qing shook his head, a helpless smile appearing on his face, before directly taking something out of his spatial soul tool.
It was a sky-blue protective shield, holding it felt like holding the entire ocean in one's hand!
The Vast Ocean Universe Shield!
"Bing'er, among all the people I know, only you are worthy of this."
"Therefore, I hope you will inherit it, allowing it to flourish in your hands!"
"Sea God Shui Bing'er, that doesn't seem so bad!"
Pei Qing looked at Shui Bing'er, his expression very serious.
The Vast Ocean Universe Shield, as an inheritance item of a first-level god, could be said to grant godhood simply by possessing it.
After all, even with Tang San's extremely unsuitable Blue Silver Grass in the original story, the Sea God didn't mind at all and directly inherited his divine position.
So how could the Sea God possibly be picky about Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix, the most powerful attribute below the divine level martial soul? He would probably have firmly secured her as his successor the moment she refined the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, fearing she wouldn't inherit his divine position.
"Sea God Shui Bing'er, could this be the Sea God's inheritance you once mentioned?"
"No, no, no, this is too precious, I can't accept it!"
"Give it to Sister Yan Yan and the others. I truly feel unworthy of this divine position."
Shui Bing'er looked at Pei Qing, and even with her usually calm personality, she couldn't hold back anymore. He
was practically giving her a divine position, and he'd come specifically to give it to her.
This made Shui Bing'er's heart race, and a blush quickly spread across her fair cheeks.
"Bing'er, in my opinion, the position of Sea God is not suitable for anyone else. You are the only one suitable by my side."
"If you don't accept it, this divine inheritance will truly be wasted."
The suitability of a divine position determines how powerful a future deity can unleash in the God Realm.
Of course, this is also related to the deity's own foundation.
In the original story, Ma Hongjun failed to inherit the God of Fire and ultimately had no choice but to inherit the God of Phoenix.
At that time, his martial soul had evolved into a ten-headed blazing phoenix, making him extremely suitable for the position of the God of Phoenix.
Therefore, after his dedicated cultivation, he was able to unleash strength close to that of a first-level god in the God Realm.
Thus, the suitability of a martial soul is extremely important for both soul masters and deities.
"Can I really succeed? The Sea God's inheritance—that's a true god!"
Shui Bing'er asked with some worry. She couldn't imagine that she, with only innate soul power at level nine, who had previously only strived to become a Title Douluo, would one day have the possibility of becoming a god!
For ten thousand years, no god has appeared on the Douluo Continent. Becoming a god at level 100 is merely a legend in everyone's mind.
No one has ever reached that level, and even those who have broken through to the limit have been extremely rare over the years.
"Your potential is astonishing; you just haven't fully displayed your unique brilliance yet."
"So keep going! I believe you can do it, you mere Sea God!"
"Perhaps in the future, you can even create something extraordinary that belongs only to you in the position of Sea God."
Those who inherit a godhood must create something uniquely their own on that divine position; only then can they truly walk their own path.
Although Pei Qing could have directly inherited the position of Sun God by following the proper procedures...
Yet he continued to contemplate the power of life and destruction.
If Shui Bing'er could create her own unique ice attribute while holding the position of Sea God,
perhaps the God Realm would gain another King of the Ocean and Ice in the future.
Seeing Pei Qing's unwavering trust, Shui Bing'er gradually became serious.
"I will do my best, I will definitely not let you down."
"The position of Sea God, I will do my utmost to create something uniquely my own on this divine position."
Shui Bing'er finally stopped refusing and agreed directly.
"Then what should I do?"
Shui Bing'er held the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, feeling the extremely powerful force within it, and for a moment she felt a sense of longing.
"Drip your blood onto the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, and then use your spiritual power to communicate with and contain this thing."
As the token of the Sea God, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover was obtained by the Heavenly Dou Empire a long time ago, but ultimately no one could completely replace its power.
And today, it is finally about to welcome its master.
Looking at the Vast Ocean Universe Cover in her hand, Shui Bing'er's eyes turned serious, and without saying a word, she pierced her finger.
Blood stained the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, and suddenly a strange blue light shone out from it, directly enveloping Shui Bing'er.
The light was as vast and boundless as the ocean. Zhuang Qing looked at the light that was now enveloping Shui Bing'er, his eyes flickered, and a thought suddenly came to him.
Is this the Light of the Sea God? I never expected to find it within the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.
It's unknown whether Bing'er will be able to successfully absorb the essence and gain the Sea God's approval.
Control. Because there's a theory that Tang San was originally chosen as the successor by the Sea God and the Asura God, and his arrival was a direct result of the two gods'...
But in this world, Pei Qing believed that was not the case, otherwise he would not have been able to kill Tang San so easily.
Despite knowing this, Pei Qing still had some concerns.
The realm of the gods, the palace of the sea god!
The Sea God, who was beaten up by the Asura God a few days ago for talking too much, is now meditating cross-legged.
His vast, ocean-like figure radiated the light of the sea god.
However, his constant muttering disrupted this sacred scene.
"Damn Asura! All I did was say a few words about the Lord of the Great Sun, and he treats me like this? I'm never going to be friends with you again!"
"Ouch... that hurts so much! This guy really didn't hold back at all."
The sea god continued to mutter, occasionally uttering curses against the Asura God.
But suddenly, his expression hardened, and his face instantly lit up with joy.
"Hahaha... This treasure I've kept on Douluo Continent for ten thousand years has finally been activated!"
"Come, let me see which lucky one is so fortunate!"
"Don't worry, as long as you're not a pig, I'll make sure you become a god."
