Chapter 109: Divinity.
And perhaps because Neptune's gaze was too "sharp," the Sea Demoness, a mermaid maiden who was originally playing in the water, seemed to sense something and instinctively turned her head to look.
Her azure eyes met his, and in an instant, her aura became somewhat chaotic.
Undoubtedly, she recognized the man's identity.
Seeing this, Neptune didn't need the yellow-clothed individuals to provide any more introductions. Without hesitation, he stepped directly towards the Sea within a Sea. Just as happened in the previous video, the surging tides of the Sea within a Sea calmed down, then spontaneously formed a staircase for him to walk upon.
The yellow-clothed Soul Masters behind him watched his receding figure with reverent eyes, as if witnessing the birth of a myth! Because they knew that, if nothing unexpected happened, the man before them would soon receive a test unique to deities, officially embarking on the path to achieving godhood! And ultimately become the new master of the great sea!
The Sea Demoness likewise watched the majestic figure slowly approaching, her azure eyes filled with unspeakable complexity. There was both joy at the impending birth of a new god and sorrow over the High Priest's inevitable sacrifice of life to usher in this new god.
However, she knew that no matter what, she could not stop the man before her from undergoing the test. For the crisis the ocean faced in the future still depended on him to resolve.
The meteor from beyond the heavens would descend at an unknown time.
Once it descended, the great sea would be ravaged, and its living beings would suffer devastating consequences. Countless living beings would perish tragically, and even the ocean's environment itself would suffer severe damage.
Therefore, if this man could achieve Sea Godhood earlier, he would be able to save more people and recover more losses, minimizing the damage to the great sea.
Presumably, he held this thought, which is why he came to Sea God Island to accept the test not long after the video ended.
In her heart, the Sea Demoness had already found good reasons for Neptune's actions. Little did she know, this certain someone was only here to reap the benefits.
Step by step, Neptune quickly arrived at the Sea Demoness Sacred Pillar Platform.
"Let's begin." The Sea Demoness, who had already transformed her fish tail into legs, had a complicated gaze. She offered no explanation, nor did she attempt any mind-reading. After saying this, she slowly walked to the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, facing the sacred pillar with a devout light in her eyes.
Neptune knew that the specific procedure had already been shown in the future video. Therefore, they could somewhat be considered "acquaintances," and naturally, there was no need for more superfluous words.
He stopped and stood one step behind the Sea Demoness.
The Sea Demoness slowly raised her hands, her face filled with devotion. She lifted her hands to her ample chest, her palms facing each other in the air with a half-foot gap between them. A faint blue light slowly appeared in the center of her palms, gradually intensifying!
When the blue light filled her slender palms, the light suddenly burst forth, suffusing the entire Sea Demoness Sacred Pillar Platform with a clear blue light.
Immediately after, light flashed beneath the sacred pillar, and a blue light spread upwards along the patterns on the sacred pillar, reaching the very top in the blink of an eye.
A blue light pillar descended from the sky, enveloping Neptune's body. Bathed in the light pillar, Neptune's expression was calm, not worrying about his body being detected as a clone. Because when the power of the persona integrated into this body, the fake became real.
Let alone a mere Sea God, even if five God Kings united, they wouldn't dream of finding even a tiny flaw.
The color of that light pillar began to change, from blue to white, then swiftly from white to yellow, almost without pause converting again to purple, black, and red... The lowest patterns also turned red, then instantly pierced through to the top, rushing straight to the sacred pillar's highest point!
A humming sound, like the wailing of the great sea, echoed from the Sea Demoness Sacred Pillar. Immediately after, an enormous blood-red light pillar, just as in the video, shot up into the sky!
The Sea within a Sea boiled!
The entire Sea within a Sea stirred up massive hundred-meter-high waves, surging vertically upwards. Within the colossal waves, intense shimmering blue light erupted. The changes weren't over; the entire Sea God Island seemed to tremble with the red light surging skyward from the Sea Demoness Sacred Pillar. Immediately after, six other enormous blood-red light pillars likewise shot up into the sky.
The seven light pillars converged at a single point in the air. The next moment, the blood-red faded, and from their convergence point, an extremely dazzling golden light descended from the sky. All things at this moment seemed to enter a state of absolute stillness; only that brilliant and magnificent light, like a central point between sea and sky, descended from above!
Everything was no different from what was shown in the video.
The only difference was that the Sea Demoness, along with the yellow-clothed individuals on the shore, saw this soul-stirring scene with no significant change in their expressions. This was because they had already witnessed the same scene in the video.
Having seen it once, seeing it for the second time naturally made them much calmer.
A majestic and magnificent royal light, filled with authority, enveloped Neptune! The instant it appeared, the entire Sea God Island, whether it was the Seven Sacred Pillars, the forest, the hills, or the Sea within a Sea, was completely dyed golden.
As the individual concerned, Neptune only saw nine successive square-shaped golden light screens appear out of thin air before him. The light on the first light screen was the brightest, while the other eight appeared somewhat dim.
‘Why is it the Nine Trials?’
Before Neptune could think further, these light screens, like golden meteors, directly floated into the center of his brow. Immediately, a massive amount of information poured directly into his mind. However, this information was frustratingly blurred and unclear; only one stream could be clearly discerned.
Immediately after, he felt a special energy fluctuation, like a sudden enlightenment. His entire body felt as if it was immersed in a cool liquid, an indescribably comfortable sensation.
Subtly, he vaguely felt that something subtle had changed within his body while bathed in this golden light. He couldn't articulate what it was, but the feeling was miraculous, as if his bodily functions had been smoothed out, making him indescribably comfortable. He unconsciously opened his mouth and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air; this seemed to be the turbid air expelled as the golden light forced all impurities out of his body.
The golden light gradually faded, first from the air and the Sea within a Sea, then fading from all directions. Neptune's body was the final destination for all of this golden light.
And the place where all that golden light ultimately converged was the center of his forehead. There, a golden trident mark was left behind.
A faint golden trident, imprinted on his forehead, filled him with majestic nobility!
Even though his eyes were still closed at this moment, he exuded a feeling of looking down upon all living beings. A special aura had appeared on him; perhaps this should be called "Divinity."
