Chapter 52: Ranking Third: Poseidon's Martial Soul! Decades Ago.
"Quasi-God..."
A glint flashed in Tang Chen's eyes.
"It seems that the Douluo Continent is about to be in turmoil."
He turned to look at Poseidon, his eyes filled with determination:
"However, no matter what happens, I will protect you, protect Seagod Island."
A warm current surged in Poseidon's heart, and she nestled tightly in Tang Chen's arms.
"I believe in you,"
Poseidon said softly.
The Bright Empire.
Yu Jingcheng and Xu Jinlan were also very surprised by the reward that Tianmu gave to Bibi Dong.
However, before Yu Jingcheng and Xu Jinlan could discuss anything, Tianmu suddenly descended again.
[Martial Soul Ranking Third Place: Seagod Martial Soul!]
[Quality: God-level!]
[Martial Soul Holder: Poseidon.]
[Identity: High Priest of Seagod Island.] [
Synopsis: Poseidon, shortly after awakening her martial soul at a young age, began the Eight Trials of the Sea God, becoming a priestess of the Sea God Poseidon, and her martial soul evolved into the Sea God herself.
For countless years, she guarded Seagod Island, protecting the Sea God's legacy, and was hailed as the "Invincible of the Ocean."]
[Secret: Qian Daoliu, the strongest member of the Spirit Hall, sensed the threat Seagod Island posed to the Spirit Hall.
Fearing he couldn't handle Poseidon alone, he invited Tang Chen, the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, to accompany him.
These two level 99 Limit Douluo never imagined they would both fall in love with the same person—the High Priestess of the Sea God, Poseidon!]
Boom—!!!
This secret, like a raging storm, instantly swept across the entire Douluo Continent!
...
[The scene continues]
The scene shifts back to Seagod Island decades ago.
Azure seas and skies, bright sunshine.
Seagod Island was picturesque, like a paradise on earth.
Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen stood side by side in front of the Sea God Temple, their eyes fixed on the red figure not far away.
It was a woman in a red robe, with a graceful figure and stunningly beautiful face.
It was Poseidon in her youth.
She stood by the sea, the sea breeze ruffling her long hair, making her appear even more ethereal and otherworldly, like a true sea goddess.
"What a beautiful woman..."
Tang Chen couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes filled with amazement.
Although Qian Daoliu didn't speak, his gaze remained fixed on Poseidon, his eyes also filled with admiration.
Both were among the strongest on the continent, accustomed to seeing beautiful women, but they had never seen a woman like Poseidon, possessing both unparalleled beauty and noble bearing.
"Brother Qian, Brother Tang, you've come from afar, I'm so sorry for not greeting you sooner."
Poseidon turned around and smiled slightly at them, a smile that seemed to melt all the ice and snow in the world.
"High Priestess Poseidon, you're too kind."
Qian Daoliu spoke first, his voice gentle and magnetic, very pleasant to listen to.
"We've come here to discuss some matters with Seagod Island, and we hope the High Priest can grant us this favor,"
Tang Chen nodded in agreement.
Poseidon smiled slightly and gestured for them to follow:
"Please follow me."
The three of them entered the Seagod Temple together.
For the next few days, Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen stayed on Seagod Island.
They discussed the future of the Soul Master world with Poseidon, admired the beautiful scenery of Seagod Island, and savored its delicious food.
During this time, they both fell deeply in love with Poseidon.
She possessed not only unparalleled beauty and noble bearing, but also profound knowledge and a kind heart.
She was like a dazzling pearl, attracting everyone's attention.
However, due to her presence, both of them buried their love deep in their hearts, not daring to easily reveal it.
One day, Poseidon invited the two to the Temple of the Sea God.
"Both of you are among the strongest on the continent, and people I, Poseidon, deeply admire,"
Poseidon said slowly, looking at them.
"I am not unaware of your feelings for me these past few days."
Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen trembled upon hearing this, their gazes fixed on Poseidon, awaiting her next words.
"But..."
Poseidon paused, then continued,
"I, Poseidon, will only marry someone who can become a god!"
These words struck Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen like a bolt from the blue.
Qian Daoliu's face turned deathly pale, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes filled with pain and despair.
He could never become a god in this lifetime.
Because he bore the inheritance of the Angel God, he was destined to become the Angel God's guardian, forever bound by divine constraints.
In Tang Chen's eyes, however, flashed a resolute determination.
"Alright!"
Tang Chen suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Poseidon.
"I, Tang Chen, will definitely become a god, and then I will come back to marry you!"
After saying that, he left the Sea God Temple without looking back, embarking on the path to find the divine inheritance.
Poseidon watched Tang Chen's departing figure, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
She was both gratified by Tang Chen's determination and worried about his future.
The path to godhood is so difficult!
Throughout history, how many people have truly been able to embark on that path?
As for Qian Daoliu, he silently left Sea God Island.
Qian Daoliu didn't say anything, only gave Poseidon a deep look, and then turned and left.
His back looked incredibly lonely and desolate.
He knew that he had completely lost his chance.
He could only bury this love in his heart forever.
[End of celestial curtain playback]
...
Sea God Island, on the steps of the sacred pillar.
Tang Chen and Poseidon, nestled together, smiled at each other.
"I never expected the Heavenly Screen would reveal everything from back then,"
Tang Chen said with a smile, a hint of emotion in his voice.
"Yes,"
Poseidon nodded, her gaze gently falling on Tang Chen's face:
"But no matter what happened in the past, we're finally together now."
Tang Chen held Poseidon's hand tightly, his eyes filled with determination:
"Yes.
I will never leave you again."
The two smiled at each other again, all the past turning into deep love in their eyes.
...
Wuhun City, Hall of Offerings.
Inside the magnificent hall, the atmosphere was suffocatingly oppressive.
Qian Daoliu stood alone by the window, his figure appearing incredibly lonely and desolate.
The images playing on the Heavenly Screen were like sharp knives, piercing his heart.
Qian Daoliu clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, yet he felt no pain.
"Poseidon…"
Qian Daoliu murmured to himself, his voice low and hoarse, filled with endless bitterness and regret.
He would never forget Poseidon's cold and resolute words on Poseidon Island: "I, Poseidon, will only marry someone who can become a god!"
Those words shattered all his illusions, making him realize that an insurmountable chasm would forever separate him from Poseidon.
