Dots of golden light transformed into droplet-shaped golden raindrops that fell, and then, another beam of light shot straight into the sky. In the next moment, all the light was obscured as an extremely dense darkness descended, swallowing it in the blink of an eye.
In the darkness, the seven soul rings beneath Shen Liuyu's feet rose uncontrollably one by one. A ferocious giant beast then appeared in the darkness behind her, its scarlet eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light. A roar that echoed across the entire island rang out, as if responding to something. In the sky above, a dark-colored light pillar suddenly descended, intersecting with the blue glow emitted by the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar. Vaguely, it seemed as if even heaven and earth trembled because of it.
Shen Hanyu used his soul power to sweep up the others and quickly retreated from the area. Clever as he was, he instantly understood at this moment that Shen Liuyu had been chosen by a deity and a divine test had descended upon her. Judging from the attributes of these energies, the other party was most likely a first-level God of Darkness, a deity highly compatible with Shen Liuyu and one among his initial guesses.
The crowd watched this scene with faces full of surprise. Sea Horse Douluo even fiercely pinched his own thigh, suddenly feeling that the world seemed a bit unreal, as if everything was a stage play, making him inexplicably feel that he was perhaps somewhat too useless…
In the distance, Bo Saixi and Tang Chen almost simultaneously froze. The two of them, one as the strongest expert in the world, closest to the god level at the time, and the other as a failure on the path of the divine test, shared a common point: both had once come into contact with true deities and even felt that supreme power.
The dark power now descending upon Sea God Island could be decisively judged by them, even without going to the scene to sense it carefully, as absolutely the power of some deity descending. Otherwise, it could never cause such a massive fluctuation.
Tang Chen sighed lightly and then said,
"This little girl is very lucky. Not only does she have an older brother who is about to inherit the position of God King, but she herself has now been chosen by a deity. Her future path to becoming a god is already clear, and the obstacles have almost been completely removed. If…"
Bo Saixi chuckled softly, looking at the adorable infant in the baby crib beside her. Her face showed no dissatisfaction or regret; her gaze toward the infant carried infinite affection.
"There aren't so many 'ifs.' We must admit that, back then, we indeed did not do as well as he did…"
"A few days ago, Lord Sea God gave me an order to fully assist a young genius named Shui Bing'er in succeeding to the position of Sea God…"
Tang Chen fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled bitterly. He reached out to take Bo Saixi's hand and said warmly,
"It's not important anymore. What we need to do now is quietly wait for her to grow up. We still have time; we shouldn't waste it on such matters…"
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Bo Saixi picked up the infant and walked side by side with Tang Chen down Sea God Mountain. Their backs showed no desolation or ending, only warmth and happiness…
…
On the other side, at the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.
The sudden change always caught people off guard. While the dense dark power was slowly entering Shen Liuyu's body, the surrounding space froze completely in an instant. Immediately after, a silver-white spatial energy suddenly descended, using space to separate the dark energy. The two completely different energies fell into a bizarre stalemate for a moment. In the next instant, a terrifying fluctuation erupted outward, possessing destructive power no less than that of a super Douluo's soul skill.
Sea Horse Douluo's expression changed drastically. The nine soul rings beneath his feet rose instantly, and without almost any hesitation, blue light bloomed in his eyes. In the next moment, a giant sea horse appeared behind him and charged toward the continuously spreading fluctuation, attempting to stop it.
The sudden accident left everyone who had already received their assessments stunned. After reacting, they looked at each other, shock appearing in their eyes.
Heaven and earth changed color. Sea Horse Douluo was directly suppressed by the terrifying power, his figure landing heavily. A trace of blood also appeared at the corner of his mouth. Looking at the energy vortex continuously spreading before him, the shock in his eyes could not be hidden at all.
The Sea Horse Sacred Pillar seemed to have been disturbed as well. The residual divine thought, sensing the threat, automatically gathered energy and erupted. For a time, three kinds of energy converged in the sky above, adding a layer of heavy pressure over the entire Sea God Island, suppressing many residents so they could not move.
Shen Hanyu's mouth twitched. He cursed inwardly as the Cold Sky Spear turned into a stream of light and shot straight out, piercing through layers of fluctuations and entering the center where the three energies converged.
The Snow Emperor seemed to have sensed something and led the others back a further distance, while not forgetting to give Shen Hanyu a reassuring look.
Shen Hanyu's figure moved. In the next moment, space was directly torn apart by the Cold Sky Spear. The three forces also slowly decomposed under absolute suppression. Shen Hanyu caught the still somewhat frightened Shen Liuyu and then looked up at the sky, saying coldly,
"If you cannot agree on the allocation of the divine positions, you may wait until I become a god to discuss it properly with you. If you do not wish to speak nicely, the Asura Demon Sword in my hand is not necessarily blunt…"
Shen Liuyu gripped Shen Hanyu's arm. On her forehead was an impressively black, strange pattern that had already been branded halfway.
Upon hearing Shen Hanyu's words, the surroundings fell into silence in an instant. Probably no one had expected that Shen Hanyu, who had not yet become a god, would have the courage to challenge deities.
After Shen Hanyu's voice fell for a long time, the entire sky curtain remained calm without the slightest ripple. Only the surrounding dark energy reconverged and then cautiously came to Shen Liuyu's side, drawing her back again.
The silver-white spatial energy slowly dissipated into the surroundings. The Sea Horse Sacred Pillar emitted a buzzing sound, and the blue energy was also fully retracted. Except for the lightly injured Sea Horse Douluo, who could prove that everything that had just happened was real, there was almost no change in the surroundings.
Sea Horse Douluo's inner thought: It's unfair. Why is it always me who gets injured…
Shen Hanyu coldly swept his gaze around once, then said softly to Shen Liuyu,
"If there is anything wrong, just tell your brother. There are many deities in the Divine Realm; we are not short of this one. Even if there is no divine position to inherit, your brother will have a way to help you in the future…"
Shen Liuyu nodded obediently, and her figure disappeared once again into the dense darkness…
…
Returning to the crowd, the blood-red sword-shaped pattern between Shen Hanyu's brows suddenly appeared for an instant. A flash of blood-red energy passed by. Shen Hanyu was slightly startled, then stepped forward as if nothing had happened and stroked Shui Bing'er's head, smiling as he said,
"Go on, our future Sea God…"
A layer of blush dyed Shui Bing'er's pretty face. She quickly reached out to cover Shen Hanyu's mouth and said in a small voice,
"Don't talk nonsense. If I fail, I'll still have to rely on you in the future. If you say it so openly now, I'll feel very embarrassed…"
Shen Hanyu found it somewhat amusing and pinched Shui Bing'er's cheek, saying softly,
"Why are you so lacking in confidence? Is it that you don't believe in yourself, or you don't believe in me?"
"Or, Bing'er, are you planning to be like Yue'er and A'Yu, and all want to live a comfortable life…"
Shui Bing'er shook her head repeatedly and said,
"I don't. It's just that when you say it like this, I feel very embarrassed…"
A trace of extremely deep interest flashed in Shen Hanyu's eyes as he continued,
"You're already embarrassed by this? Bing'er, your skin is still a bit thin… How about this, I'll help you train it. This can also be considered an alternative assessment for you…"
As he spoke, Shen Hanyu gently stroked Shui Bing'er's lips, the meaning self-evident.
Shui Bing'er's face exploded with redness. It seemed she recalled something shy, and for a moment she fell into hesitation.
But in the end, Shui Bing'er still obediently wrapped her arms around Shen Hanyu's neck, then raised her head and pressed close.
After a lingering kiss, Shui Bing'er lightly licked the moisture at the corner of her lips, then fled in embarrassment to the front of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar and said softly,
"Senior Sea Horse, I'll trouble you…"
Sea Horse Douluo coughed lightly twice. It seemed he had just returned from reminiscing. There was a faint trace of envy in the look he gave Shen Hanyu, but his expression quickly became serious. In the next moment, he directly activated the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar. Shui Bing'er's body rose uncontrollably into the air, suspended in midair.
Accompanied by a light cracking sound, the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar seemed to freeze and made no reaction. Just as Sea Horse Douluo was about to step forward to check, a magnificent color suddenly rose from the bottom of the sacred pillar.
Like with Shen Liuyu, the white, yellow, and purple colors were almost instantly skipped, then directly turned black.
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, the black was also crossed in an instant, followed by a red as vivid as fresh blood.
A red light pillar shot into the sky. A low yet heavily oppressive buzzing sound rang out. The nearby sea area paused for an instant, then completely fell into a boiling state.
Hundred-meter-high waves appeared out of thin air from the nearby ocean, rising vertically. Within the giant waves, strong, misty blue light erupted.
The intense changes had not yet ended. Under the influence of this red light, the entire Sea God Island seemed to tremble because of it. Immediately after, the crowd clearly saw that in other areas of Sea God Island, six more huge blood-red light pillars shot into the sky. The seven light pillars converged at one point in the air. In the next moment, the blood-red color faded, and from that convergence point, a brilliant golden light descended from the sky.
At this moment, everything seemed to enter an absolute state of stillness. Only that brilliant and magnificent light, like the center between sea and sky, appeared incomparably sacred at this time.
Everyone, as well as all areas and residents on Sea God Island, was covered with a faint layer of golden light. For a time, an atmosphere of light and kindness filled the entire world.
On the other side, within the sphere formed by countless dark energies, black lightning flashed, seeming to respond to this faint golden light. The two forces made contact with each other, but there was no sign of repulsion at all. For a time, two strange scenes appeared in the sky, attracting the gaze of nearly everyone on Sea God Island.
The strange golden light soon began to slowly retract. Nine square golden light screens came out of thin air and then slowly entered Shui Bing'er's brow.
Vast and chaotic information crazily poured in. Shui Bing'er couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. She slowly sat cross-legged in midair and began to receive this information.
Time passed minute by minute. Under the crowd's gaze, Shui Bing'er slowly stood up. Golden light gathered at her brow, leaving behind a faint golden trident brand.
The golden light surrounding Shui Bing'er slowly dissipated. She then landed lightly on her feet. Her pair of beautiful blue eyes slowly opened, with strands of golden light flashing through them, making her appear incomparably noble and sacred.
Sea Horse Douluo was somewhat dazed, but before he could say anything, a gentle voice rang out from behind the crowd, like sea waves smoothing the turbulent hearts of everyone.
"Sea God Nine Exams…"
"I have waited so many years for this moment, and it has finally arrived…"
Bo Saixi stepped into the void and slowly approached. Her peerless beauty, for a moment, left everyone somewhat dazed. Even the Snow Emperor couldn't help but slightly narrow her eyes. She always felt that this woman carried a trace of a strange feeling that made her inexplicably somewhat envious…
Sea Horse Douluo was startled and quickly bowed in greeting.
Bo Saixi gently waved her hand, then walked straight toward Shui Bing'er. Her eyes carried a trace of a smile, yet were full of complexity.
"The assessment you have received is called the Sea God Nine Exams. I think I don't need to say more about the rest. I believe he has already told you…"
"Congratulations on becoming Lord Sea God's successor…"
Shui Bing'er respectfully bowed and said,
"I will trouble Senior to take care of me in the future…"
Bo Saixi nodded, then looked at the others behind Shen Hanyu who had received assessments. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes as she said,
"The assessments you have received have time limits; this cannot be changed. Moreover, the difficulty of the assessments is greater than for the native soul masters of Sea God Island. But conversely, the rewards you obtain after completing the assessments may also come with some surprises…"
"Sea God Island is no longer a forbidden area for you. You are honored guests here and may move freely on the island, but you must not commit evil. All your expenses will be covered by Sea God Island. Afterward, Sea Horse will arrange your accommodations…"
"As for the assessments, you may ask him…"
As she spoke, Bo Saixi glanced at Shen Hanyu, then nodded lightly to the crowd and lightly floated away from the place.
Shen Hanyu looked at Bo Saixi's departing figure and inexplicably felt that he might be working for her. But looking at the curious and longing eyes of the several girls behind him, Shen Hanyu raised his brow and said,
"Wait here for A'Yu first. She probably still needs some time. Bing'er should carefully comprehend the knowledge and understanding brought by the Sea God Nine Exams. The others should not idle either. The assessments of Sea God Island are not a joke; one careless mistake could cost your life. Of course, if the situation becomes critical, I definitely will not sit by and watch…"
Everyone nodded one after another, then each found a place to sit cross-legged and began to comprehend their own assessments.
