Chapter 175: Sea God's Q&A.
2023-04-04 Author: Fu Hejun
"I've waited for over a hundred years; this moment is finally about to arrive. Great Lord Sea God! Your servant can finally complete the task you entrusted." She said, seemingly with emotion yet also with relief.
As her voice faded, a faint golden light began to rise from beneath Bo Saixi's feet. At this moment, her entire being seemed to enter a special state; that pale golden light was precisely Bo Saixi's soul power.
Bathed in the pale golden light, Bo Saixi's hair fluttered without wind. Amidst the surging golden radiance, soul rings were released from within her one by one. Each soul ring was veiled in a faint golden glow, and one could vaguely see that among all nine soul rings, the lowest ranked were all ten-thousand-year level.
The brilliant golden light, growing ever stronger, completely illuminated every corner of the Sea God Hall. The magic patterns that Neptune had once lit up when pulling out the Sea God Trident now shone again under the effect of the golden light released by Bo Saixi. A sacred aura seemed to completely strip away all distracting thoughts within one's heart.
Neptune stood quietly beside Bo Saixi, sensing the energy she released. He knew that the sacred aura emanating from her was derived from the Sea God's power.
Furthermore, within her, the Sea God's energy had subtly integrated into every bit of her energy, including her nine soul rings, which were all filled with the Sea God's aura.
As the High Priest chosen by the Sea God, and moreover, bestowed with the Sea God Martial Soul, her body bore the Sea God's divine power. This was precisely to activate the final inheritance for the inheritor. It was much like the function of a key.
One could say that aside from not possessing a God Position, Bo Saixi herself was no different from a God-level being.
In this state, coupled with the Sea God's power condensed on Sea God Island, even if the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King were to attack, it might not be her match. This was because, to a certain extent, Bo Saixi was the Sea God's spokesperson in the Mortal Realm. Exercising the Sea God's divine authority, she was naturally incomparable to an ordinary soul master.
With a flash of her figure, Bo Saixi's body swiftly changed position, moving from standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Neptune to facing him.
At this moment, even Bo Saixi's eyes had turned golden. Her nine soul rings simultaneously expanded, growing to a diameter of over three meters.
Neptune found that his body was now enveloped by Bo Saixi's nine soul rings. For these nine faint golden soul rings to simultaneously envelop two people was a miraculous sight he had never witnessed before, and it couldn't help but spark his inspiration. Soul rings this large... perhaps he could make something of it when fabricating future stories.
At this very moment, the entire Sea God Hall had become incredibly magnificent. The shimmering magic patterns mostly appeared in wave-like forms within the Sea God Hall, densely covering the ceiling, the walls, and the seven platforms.
Golden light, spread across the floor, slowly flowed like mercury. The sacred energy fluctuations made the air here seem to be imbued with the Sea God's aura!
The scepter in Bo Saixi's hand now lay between her and Neptune. The golden rhombus gemstone on the scepter grew increasingly bright, yet its light was not at all dazzling.
Under the illumination of that golden light, the Sea God Trident Mark on Neptune's forehead also gradually began to shine. A warm sensation instantly spread throughout his body. At this moment, he felt as if every cell in his entire body had become active, dancing freely~
This feeling was incredibly nice!
The entire Sea God Hall was, in fact, a massive magic array, and the central platform where Neptune stood was the eye of this magic array. A golden hexagram began to light up beneath Neptune and Bo Saixi's feet!
This enormous golden hexagram had a diameter of five meters. Its six points each pointed towards one of the other six platforms, and six rays of golden light were released from these six points, shooting onto those six platforms.
Immediately, six enormous golden light pillars suddenly rose from those six platforms. Each light pillar covered the entire platform they occupied.
Bo Saixi gazed at the man before her, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her lips. "Neptune, are you truly ready?"
Neptune, naturally, showed no sign of hesitation. Gazing into Bo Saixi's eyes with clear resolve, he formally stated, "Yes, I am ready."
At this point, Bo Saixi's voice suddenly became serious. "The Sea God is the God who controls all living beings in the great sea. As the inheritor of the Sea God, you will spare no effort to protect your people. Neptune, can you do that?"
He said without hesitation, "I can."
Although he felt there was a bit of a flaw in the wording of Bo Saixi's question. After all, the God of all living beings in the great sea, protecting all living beings... but if that were the case, would he have to stop other humans from fishing, or big fish from eating small fish?
So, according to his understanding, only those who could provide him with power of faith were his people. Conversely, those who couldn't provide power of faith were not his people, and thus could be ignored.
Bo Saixi asked again, "The Sea God is the embodiment of light, the controller of the great sea. Can you ensure goodness forever remains in your heart and always use the Sea God's power for justice?"
He affirmed again, "I will certainly bring the Sea God's justice to the Mortal Realm."
Hmm, justice, in truth, differs in everyone's heart. It's like two armies clashing. To opposing sides, the adversary is never just. Both believe themselves to be righteous, but is that truly the case?
So, in his view, once he became the Sea God, the justice he perceived would be the Sea God's justice. Therefore, bringing his justice to the Mortal Realm would undoubtedly be his unavoidable responsibility.
Finally, Bo Saixi said, "The Sea God possesses the power to command all in the great sea. As the inheritor of the Sea God, the new generation's Sea God, you must always remember not to disgrace the Sea God's dignity and might. You must spread the Sea God's divine radiance to every corner of the great sea, using your divine power to aid your people, and allow no external enemies to invade."
"Yes, I will definitely achieve that."
Neptune spoke with conviction. It goes without saying, he had already achieved godhood. If any blind fool dared to provoke him, they would surely be beaten to death and fed to the fish. Moreover, those people were his source of power of faith, so he definitely had to protect them well.
Receiving his firm reply, Bo Saixi's gaze seemed as if it could pierce through Neptune's body. As their eyes met, he made no attempt to dodge or block, allowing Bo Saixi's sharp gaze to penetrate the deepest reaches of his eyes, as if seeing through his soul.
He knew that Bo Saixi's questions were not a mere formality but represented the Sea God's inquiry, a test from the Sea God. If at this moment, Neptune's heart showed even the slightest hesitation, then... he could still inherit the Sea God Position.
After all, having reached this point, no matter what the Sea God thought, there was no way he'd abandon it midway, right?
So, these three questions were actually just a formality, with more ceremonial than practical significance. Even if he were truly evil beyond redemption, a great villain, the Sea God would now have no choice but to accept it with a pinched nose.
