Chapter 74: As Expected of You, Poseidon!
[If Poseidon were to make a move against you, you would have no way to resist.]
[You must obtain powerful strength to firmly establish yourself on the Douluo Continent.]
[Since you've already revealed a corner of your hand, you decide to display something even more extraordinary!]
[When all the residents of Sea God Island learned that you had awakened the Sea God martial soul—and that you possessed innate rank thirty soul power—they were shocked, yet at the same time, overjoyed.]
[They believed you would become the next High Priest, or even the new Sea God!]
[Your reputation on Sea God Island rose dramatically.]
[You went to the location of the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar and met the current Sea Dragon Douluo, who treated you with great respect.]
[You completed a sign-in at the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar and obtained a one-hundred-thousand-year first soul ring, successfully breaking through to the Soul Master realm.]
[Your exact soul power level would only manifest after you obtained your soul rings.]
[Sea Dragon Douluo looked at the one-hundred-thousand-year first soul ring on your body in disbelief. Poseidon and Bo Saixi, who were observing you, were equally dumbfounded.]
[You merely stood beneath the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar and obtained the one-hundred-thousand-year soul ring that Bo Saixi had nearly died to acquire. This left everyone baffled and further confirmed their suspicions—you were absolutely Poseidon's illegitimate child…]
[Even Poseidon himself began to doubt whether he had done something wrong. Yet after searching through all his memories, he still couldn't find a single problem.]
[You arrived at the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar. What had happened at the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar had already reached Sea Horse Douluo's ears, and he eagerly anticipated what astonishing performance you would display here.]
[You completed a sign-in beside the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar and once again obtained a one-hundred-thousand-year soul ring. Because it was a system reward, you did not need to personally absorb it. You were strengthened, obtained your second soul ring, and became a Soul Grandmaster.]
[You proceeded to the other Sacred Pillars, obtaining one-hundred-thousand-year soul rings and breaking through to the Soul Elder realm. With the enhancement of your soul rings, your soul power had long reached rank forty. You continued onward to the next Sacred Pillar…]
[You checked in and obtained your fourth one-hundred-thousand-year soul ring, breaking through to Soul Ancestor… then Soul King… then Soul Emperor…]
[Your soul power rank reached sixty-five.]
[You stunned everyone…]
[Poseidon had originally intended to observe you for a while longer before deciding whether to pass the divine position to you.]
[Your performance left him with no time to think at all…]
[No matter who you were, where you came from, or why you possessed such extraordinary abilities, he no longer cared!]
[Poseidon issued a divine oracle. Golden light enveloped you, and a golden trident-shaped mark appeared on your forehead. You obtained the Sea God Nine Trials!]
[The trials were to begin when you turned eighteen, or when you broke through to the Titled Douluo realm.]
[After all, you were only six years old. Beginning the Sea God Nine Trials now would be extremely disadvantageous for you.]
[Poseidon was ecstatic. He absolutely adored you as his successor. Though your identity and abilities were full of mystery, as long as he said nothing, the one suffering headaches would be other gods—not him.]
[You would become his most proud Sea God inheritor. With your unique circumstances and abilities, the Sea God divine position might even reach the level of a God King!]
[Poseidon seemed to think of something. He took action to conceal your traces and even tampered with many people's memories.]
[That's right—you! You are Poseidon's illegitimate child!]
[Only in this way could your special nature be concealed!]
"Holy shit, as expected of Poseidon!!"
Wang Li nearly cried out loud.
Poseidon and the Asura God—these two were famously known for "knowing the law and breaking it," "enforcing the law while violating it"!
When it came to doting on their own, no one could compare to them.
Even after their inheritors had already been doomed, they still pulled strings behind the scenes and openly saved them!
"If these two were enemies, they'd be downright sinister."
"If they were allies, they'd be absolutely adorable!!"
From the previous simulation, it was already clear that the ones they supported were not Tang San.
Whoever their inheritor was—that was who they supported. It didn't have to be Tang San!
This time, Poseidon had gone all in and laid everything bare!
He really was just that "selfish" kind of god!
[You were extremely surprised by Poseidon's decision. He actually intended to abdicate the Sea God position to you.]
[Knowing full well how special you were, he didn't ask a single question, nor did he make a move against you. This greatly increased your goodwill toward Poseidon!]
[To his own people, Poseidon was an exceptionally, exceptionally good god!]
[Through Poseidon's behind-the-scenes maneuvering, you became the divine child of Sea God Island and the future Sea God.]
[As time gradually passed, by the time you were twelve years old, every location on Sea God Island where sign-ins were possible had already been checked in dozens of times.]
[Your soul power has reached rank ninety-three.]
[You completed the first three of the Sea God Nine Trials. Since your trials had no time limit, you decided to go take a look at the Douluo Continent.]
[You followed a fleet of ships to the Douluo Continent. These fleets were responsible for purchasing grain and essential supplies needed by Sea God Island.]
[You arrived smoothly on the Douluo Continent. Suddenly, Poseidon's voice echoed in your mind, informing you that the Sea God's Heart was located on the Douluo Continent.]
[The Sea God's Heart is a necessary item for inheriting the Sea God divine position. Without it, the Sea God Trident would be incomplete.]
[After receiving the Sea God's hint, you simply smiled. You already knew where the Sea God's Heart was!]
[This was also one of the reasons you came to the Douluo Continent.]
[You purchased a world map of the Douluo Continent and headed toward Heaven Dou City…]
[Along the way, you heard many stories—especially stories about the Two Peaks.]
[Qian Daoliu. Tang Chen!]
[The two of them were currently traveling the Douluo Continent together…]
[You pondered quietly, feeling that the two of them would eventually head to Sea God Island!]
[You had already transmigrated to the Douluo Continent ahead of time—Bo Saixi and all that… you really liked her a lot.]
[You stopped pretending. You laid your cards on the table. You were just lusting after her…]
Wang Li: "..."
What could he even say?
[Along the journey, you checked in everywhere and collected rewards that were considered quite abundant.]
[You arrived in Heaven Dou City first. You completed a sign-in there and obtained a reward that increased all your soul rings by fifty thousand years.]
[The next day, you signed in at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace treasury and obtained a fortune of gold soul coins rivaling a nation's wealth. After signing in, you casually took the Sea God's Heart as well!]
Wang Li: Fine—his real purpose was just signing in anyway. As for the Sea God's Heart… it was just a convenient side pickup.
[Poseidon was completely numb. He hadn't even told you the location of the Sea God's Heart, yet you found it directly!]
[The secrets surrounding you made his heart pound with unease.]
[You headed to the Sunset Forest and began searching for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.]
[As for Dugu Bo, you didn't care at all. At this point, whether Dugu Bo was even a young man was still a question…]
