However, compared to other places, Sea God Island was clearly even more shocked by this news.
The Seven Sacred Pillar Title Douluo of Sea God Island gathered around Bo Saixi. At this moment, Bo Saixi had already received all the rewards.
The aura around her body became even more terrifying. She had truly reached the quasi-divine realm without relying on the Sea God's divine power.
Moreover, the soul rings beneath her feet had changed from the original eight black and one red to six black and three red.
Bo Saixi said nothing. She only turned her head to look at the Sea God statue behind her.
As the High Priestess, her fate had long since been decided.
Yet now, with the help of this miraculous ranking list, she had actually broken the iron law that divine attendants could not ascend to godhood.
Bo Saixi's gaze was extremely complicated, filled with gratitude, relief, and a trace of unease.
Ever since she accepted the Sea God's bestowed Sea God Martial Soul and took on the position of High Priestess of Sea God Island, she had already regarded the Sea God as her sole faith over more than a hundred years.
"Great Sea God, can you hear the call of your most loyal servant?"
"What should I do?"
After a long time, Bo Saixi received no response and could only turn around to comfort the people of Sea God Island.
"Everyone, return for now."
"Yes, High Priestess!"
At once, under Bo Saixi's command, countless Sea God believers, soul masters, soul beasts, and the Seven Sacred Pillar Title Douluo all returned to their respective territories.
"Tang Chen, did you see that? I can also become a god now."
"But after so many years, why did you never come to Sea God Island to see me even once? Did you fall on the path of inheriting a divine position?"
Bo Saixi gently stroked the sacred pillar. At this moment, she had a premonition that her strength had already reached the level of the strongest beneath the gods. As long as the Sea God was willing to bestow the inheritance, it would not take long before she could inherit the Sea God's divine position.
The High Priestess of Sea God Island inheriting the Sea God's divine position sounded absurd and unbelievable, yet it was an indisputable fact.
...
The God Realm, Sea God Palace.
Poseidon used a divine projection to understand the entire sequence of events.
"By all logic, the will of the Douluo Continent plane is only at the level of a second-tier god. There is no reason it could interfere with my inheritance."
Poseidon let out a light sound of surprise. As the strongest existence beneath the Five Great God Kings, and wielding the super divine artifact, the Sea God Trident, there was no way the will of the Douluo plane alone could shake his inheritance.
Unless…
"Unless there is another God King-level figure in the universe interfering in the affairs of the Douluo Continent."
As an old figure of the God Realm, Poseidon naturally knew that beyond the God Realm of this universe, there were countless mysterious powerful beings.
"For such a powerful existence to intervene in the Douluo Continent, who knows whether it is a blessing or a curse?"
"Forget it, this matter is not my concern. Shura and the others can worry about it."
"I have searched all the planes for so long and still have not found a suitable successor. I really want to go out and have some fun."
"Sigh…"
Poseidon's eyes suddenly lit up. The iron rule that a High Priestess could not become a god was set by the God Realm itself. But since Bo Saixi had broken this rule with the help of that mysterious powerful being, then he…
"Bo Saixi is not bad either. Why not let her inherit the Sea God position? After all these years, I truly have not found anyone more suitable than her."
Without hesitation, the Sea God immediately transmitted his voice to Bo Saixi on the Douluo Continent.
"Bo Saixi, are you willing to inherit my Sea God divine position?"
...
In midair, the golden ranking list changed once more. The number one behind the original eleventh place slowly disappeared.
The top ten was a threshold. Countless people stared unblinking at the ranking list, eager to know what kind of martial soul had squeezed into the top ten.
[Martial Soul Ranking No. 10: Clear Sky Hammer]
[Holder: Tang Chen (City of Slaughter / Clear Sky Sect)]
[Evaluation: This martial soul was originally a top-tier weapon martial soul, but Tang Chen brought it to a height it did not originally belong to. Ring Detonation, Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, Clear Sky Nine Extremes, and many other secret techniques were all created by Tang Chen alone.]
[Reward: Restoration of sanity, escape from the control of the Blood Nine-Headed Bat King, full recovery of all injuries, all soul ring years increased by ten thousand years. As soul power has already reached the quasi-divine realm, the reward is changed to completion of the Eighth Trial of the Shura God.]
Once the Clear Sky Hammer entered the rankings, the entire continent was shaken.
Not only because this martial soul had overpowered countless others to enter the top ten, but also because of the unfamiliar name.
Tang Chen.
Who was Tang Chen, that even the Martial Soul Ranking List stopped focusing on the martial soul and began praising the individual himself?
"Tang Chen brought the Clear Sky Hammer to a height it did not belong to? Tsk… another peerless powerhouse whose name we have never even heard before."
"Did you see that? Even the Martial Soul Ranking List changed the reward because his strength reached the quasi-divine realm."
"What a terrifyingly powerful existence!"
"The Shura God Trials. Such a powerhouse is actually a god's inheritor. His strength is unimaginable!"
At the same time, the name Tang Chen caused even greater shock among the major forces than when Golden Crocodile Douluo previously entered the rankings.
Papal Hall.
Bibi Dong looked at the name Tang Chen. A trace of schadenfreude flashed across her face, but it was quickly replaced by deep shock.
So the Slaughter King she had encountered when she went to the City of Slaughter to obtain the Slaughter God Domain was actually Tang Chen.
"Now that Tang Chen has recovered his sanity and injuries, it will not be long before he returns to the Clear Sky Sect."
"Once he learns about Tang Hao, he will definitely come to wreak havoc on Spirit Hall. Let's see how Qian Daoliu handles it."
However, Bibi Dong's expression soon grew even darker.
Because when she inherited the Rakshasa God position, the Rakshasa God had already told her about the Shura God's status in the God Realm, as well as the conflict between Rakshasa and Shura.
"The Eighth Trial of the Shura God completed. Next is the Ninth Trial."
"If Tang Chen becomes a god and comes to trouble me, what should I do?"
Bibi Dong pondered again and again, yet could not reach a conclusion. After all, her realm was inferior to Tang Chen's, and her divine trial progress was also slower.
If he truly harbored killing intent, she would absolutely have no chance to escape.
In the Hall of Offerings, Qian Daoliu abruptly stood up from his seat, trembling as he spoke in disbelief.
"The City of Slaughter, the Slaughter King, Tang Chen. You are actually still alive!"
"Your divine trials have already reached the Eighth Trial. It will not be long before you become a god."
Unlike the heavy atmosphere on Spirit Hall's side, the entire Clear Sky Sect erupted into astonishing cheers upon seeing Tang Chen's name.
Tang Chen, the number one powerhouse of the Clear Sky Sect. With him present, what force under heaven would the Clear Sky Sect need to fear?
"Grandfather… he is still alive!"
Tang Xiao let out a long roar toward the sky, the burden in his heart finally lifted.
Grandfather was still alive, and all his injuries had been fully restored. As long as Spirit Hall was not insane, they would not dare provoke the Clear Sky Sect lightly.
The quasi-divine realm was the strongest beneath the gods. An absolute powerhouse of the Douluo Continent.
On Sea God Island, Bo Saixi, who had originally been hesitating over whether to accept the Sea God's inheritance, also made her choice after seeing Tang Chen complete the Eighth Trial of the Shura God.
"Great Sea God, I am willing to accept your inheritance and inherit the divine position."
"Very well. You have already completed the Top Seven Trials. You need only complete the Eighth and Ninth Trials to inherit my divine position."
