Chapter 100: The Sea God's One Trial
Author: Fu Hejun
"Alright, since you're in such a hurry, let's begin." The Mermaid Maiden, or rather, the Sea Demoness, naturally saw that Neptune had a poor impression of her, but she didn't mind. Instead, she walked matter-of-factly to the Sea Demoness Sacred Pillar. Facing the sacred pillar, her eyes revealed a pious glow.
"Come forward," she said.
Neptune walked forward, stopping one step behind her.
The Sea Demoness slowly raised her fair, jade-like hands, her face filled with piety. She brought her hands up before her ample chest, palms facing each other about half a foot apart. A faint blue light slowly appeared between the centers of her palms... As the blue light gradually intensified, the entire Sacred Pillar Platform was suffused with a clear blue glow!
Following that, a light flashed at the base of the Sea Demoness Sacred Pillar. A blue light snaked its way up along the patterns on the sacred pillar. It climbed to the top in the blink of an eye.
A blue pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping Neptune's body. Bathed in the pillar of light, Neptune's expression was calm, as if he didn't feel anything special.
"Huh, what's going on?"
The Sea Demoness looked at him with some surprise. According to common sense, after the pillar of light enveloped the target, it should quickly begin to change color, and then a magic pattern of the corresponding color would appear on the sacred pillar.
But the light enveloping Neptune remained blue, and it was growing stronger and stronger.
This was the first time the Sea Demoness had encountered such an abnormal situation. She didn't understand why the blue light wasn't changing. Even the weakest Soul Master would at least get a White-grade assessment. What's more, the person before her was a Titled Douluo. Logically, it wouldn't be excessive to even give him a Black-grade assessment. How could there be no change?
What in the world was happening?
Just as the Sea Demoness was baffled, a look of surprise on her face, the blue light on Neptune's body finally began to change.
Blue, white, yellow, purple—these four colors appeared in succession, but each one only flickered for an instant before changing to the next. The speed was so fast it was almost dizzying.
Soon after purple came the change to black, also in an instant. A black magic pattern manifested on the sacred pillar, then ascended at an astonishing speed.
Fast, too fast.
The Sea Demoness at the side couldn't help but be dumbfounded. This was the first time she had ever seen someone whose colors changed so quickly.
This guy is just too monstrous.
The black magic pattern smoothly passed the two-thirds mark of the Sea Demoness Sacred Pillar. The black transformed into blood-red, and a blood-red magic pattern suddenly appeared, shooting straight to the very top of the sacred pillar!
A hum, like the sobbing of the great sea, emanated from the sacred pillar. Immediately after, a massive, blood-red pillar of light shot into the sky.
The Sea within a Sea boiled over!
At that moment, the entire Sea within a Sea suddenly erupted with colossal waves hundreds of meters high, shooting straight up.
The entire Sea God Island seemed to tremble with the red light that shot to the heavens from the Sea Demoness Sacred Pillar!
At the same time, from the other directions, six more enormous blood-red pillars of light soared into the sky.
The seven pillars of light converged at a single point in the air. The blood-red color faded, and from that point of convergence, a golden light of ultimate brilliance descended from the sky!
At this moment, everything seemed to enter a state of absolute stillness. Only that splendid, magnificent light, like the central point between the sea and sky, fell from above!
【What's the situation?】
【Didn't they say the highest assessment is only red? What kind of assessment is this gold one?】
【Look at that mermaid examiner's dumbfounded expression, she obviously doesn't know either.】
【Could this be the assessment level for inheriting a god's position?】
【A Gold-grade assessment?】
A series of bullet comments scrolled past.
In reality, on Sea God Island.
Bo Saixi watched the shocking scene of the sky filled with golden light on the screen, her body trembling involuntarily. It was not out of fear, but excitement!
As the Sea God's most devout believer.
To be able to witness the Sea God's Assessment and the birth of a new Sea God with her own eyes naturally filled her with immense excitement.
Even if inheriting the god's position ultimately required the sacrifice of her own life. To Bo Saixi, a believer of the Sea God, this was actually nothing. On the contrary, in her eyes, it was the highest glory!
Bo Saixi did not fear losing her life. The only thing that made her cling to life was Tang Chen, who had said he would return to marry her after achieving godhood. She wasn't afraid of dying, but that she wouldn't be able to wait for him.
For this very reason, in the original story, she cleverly used the rules to try and obstruct Tang San's success in his assessment. It was just a pity she failed in the end.
In the video.
That beam of light descending from the sky bathed everything around in gold. The entire Sea God Island was within the range of the light pillar's coverage.
Such a magnificent and vast scene was no less awe-inspiring than the majesty of nature. It left the spectators in the live broadcast room dumbfounded, finally giving them a basic concept of the word "God."
And as the center of the golden light's envelopment, Neptune's expression was very calm, silently feeling the changes in his body. Immediately after, nine square, golden light screens materialized from thin air and appeared before him.
This seemed to represent nine trials.
But soon, the nine light screens shattered with a bang and directly merged into a single light screen.
Did this mean the nine trials had become one trial?
Neptune's expression was somewhat puzzled. Soon, this single light screen transformed into a meteor and floated directly into the space between his eyebrows. Instantly, the golden light that enveloped the entire Sea God Island began to fade, contracting toward the center.
And his body was the final destination for all this golden light. The place where all the golden light finally converged was the center of his forehead. There, it left a golden trident imprint!
The faint golden trident imbued Neptune with a majesty-filled nobility!
Although he was just standing there, he gave off an intangible air of looking down upon all creation!
At this moment, Neptune's originally clear blue eyes seemed even more limpid. He raised a hand and subconsciously touched his smooth forehead, then asked the completely stunned Sea Demoness, "Red is the top-tier assessment. What kind of assessment is my gold one?"
The Sea Demoness's red lips were slightly parted, her expression one of cute stupefaction. Startled by his question, she shook her head forcefully and looked at his forehead, only to find the trident imprint still shimmering with a brilliant golden light. That's right, this wasn't a dream.
"I... I don't know either."
The Sea Demoness could only say this.
Neptune's brow furrowed slightly. Just as he was about to ask something else, a voice suddenly appeared.
"What you are to accept is the Sea God's One Trial." The voice came from far to near. As the last word reached his ears, a red dot of light in the distance slowly grew larger.
The next moment, another person had appeared before the Sea Demoness Sacred Pillar.
Her entire body was shrouded in a crimson robe. Her sea-blue hair was draped over her back, long enough to nearly touch the ground.
Judging by her gentle and beautiful face, she looked to be thirty years old at most. Her beauty stemmed more from her temperament—noble, elegant, and with a gentle warmth.
It was none other than the Grand Priest—Bo Saixi.
