Chapter 176: Gods Aren't That Pathetic
April 4, 2023 - Author: Fu Hejun
At this moment, Bo Saixi gazed into Neptune's Inner World, and what her eyes captured was a flawless Inner World!
Observing his perfect and unblemished Inner World, Bo Saixi nodded in satisfaction. Then, she pointed the Scepter forward, letting the rhombus golden gem on its tip touch the Trident Mark on Neptune's forehead. "From this, the Sea God's glory shall be continued through you."
A scorching Energy suddenly surged from the rhombus gem into Neptune's mind. He felt as if his Soul had instantly exploded, and that ancient, deep voice, which had appeared many times before, resonated once more: "Sea God Nine Trials, Ninth Trial, Sea God Inheritance, commence."
No explanation for the Assessment was needed; these mere dozen words instantly elevated Neptune's Essence, Qi, and Spirit to an unprecedented peak.
Whether he could use this to benefit his Main Body and other Clones would all depend on this moment.
Light shone as Bo Saixi raised her Scepter high. A golden beam shot out, directly striking the exact center of the Grand Hall's ceiling.
Immediately, intense golden Light spread from the Sky, and the golden Hexagram beneath Neptune's feet instantly illuminated. The rich Light completely enveloped both their Bodies, while the golden beam from the Scepter dispersed at this moment, transforming into a total of thirteen golden lights that descended from above, forming thirteen golden Flames around the Hexagram.
A colossal golden Phantom gradually emerged from behind Bo Saixi. This figure was precisely the Sea God who had once imparted Divine Skills to him!
However, the Sea God Phantom that appeared behind Bo Saixi was much clearer than any Neptune had previously seen. Although its features remained indistinct, he could discern that it was clad in a magnificent golden Armor.
"The Divine Gate is about to open, and the Sea God's God Position is about to be inherited! Oh, candidate of the Sea God! Please step through the Grand Door the Sea God has opened for you, and use your Power, your Heart, your Soul, and all that you possess to accept the Sea God's final Test."
Bo Saixi's voice suddenly soared, her emotions seeming to reach an unprecedented peak. At the same time, the Scepter in her hand shattered with a crash. Simultaneously, the nine Soul Rings encircling Bo Saixi's Body, which had enveloped both her and Neptune, also shattered.
The moment those nine Soul Rings shattered, Neptune felt a tremendous change in the surrounding Space. Everything became unreal. His Body was immobilized, his entire being locked down by an immense Energy so vast and profound it was beyond his imagination.
Intense golden Flames surged around his Body, seemingly the Energy released from Bo Saixi's shattered Soul Rings. The same Flames burned on Bo Saixi's Body. The sacredness and majesty on her face gradually faded, and as she looked at Neptune, her eyes revealed a sense of liberation...
"..."
Neptune remained silent, only silently committing her sacrifice to memory. He resolved never to treat her unfairly once he achieved Deification.
Thus, he calmly watched as the golden Flames on Bo Saixi's Body gradually changed from light gold to bright gold, then from bright gold to scarlet gold. Bo Saixi's Body, too, gradually vanished with the changes in the flame's color...
After her Body completely disappeared, the overwhelming scarlet-gold flame suddenly receded, then transformed into a Grand Door burning with scarlet-gold flame!
Of course, although called a door, there was no true physical door. It simply appeared as a gateway formed of Flame.
Neptune knew this was the Sea God's Inheritance Door, obtained by Bo Saixi at the cost of her Life!
Stepping through this Door would formally begin the Inheritance of the God Position.
Without hesitation, he stepped directly inside.
As his Body passed through the scarlet-gold flame Door, Neptune felt as if he were bound, immense pressure seemingly trying to crush his Body. However, the moment he stepped through the Grand Door, all pressure vanished instantly.
In a flash, the surrounding scenery transformed, and he had arrived in another World.
Looking around, he found himself surrounded by transparent deep blue, his Body descending.
This was surprisingly an Underwater World.
Of course, this Underwater World was not truly present in the Real World, but rather a place between reality and illusion.
The formation of this Space should be related to the Sea God's Divine Authority.
Although the Douluo World is called a "fantasy basement" by countless people, and its inhabitants are jokingly referred to as "hydrogen humans," this World is not actually that low-tier. The reason Tang San's martial arts Cultivation Method could dominate this World was mainly due to the special Rules of this World and certain descriptive errors by the original author, not because the World was truly that low-level.
While the Gods of this World might be a tiny bit 'low-level' compared to Gods in other fantasy Worlds, they still possess some capabilities worthy of the title of God. They haven't become so pathetic as to be inferior to a simple press.
Neptune's Body was currently sinking, evidently due to the weight of the Sea God Trident in his hand. His descent was rapid, but after he enveloped himself with his Water Control ability, his downward momentum ceased.
It was then that he began to survey his surroundings.
His gaze shifted downwards.
Soon, he discovered a colossal Palace standing quietly a thousand meters below.
This Palace was enormous, a standalone Palace situated on the Seabed, its height at least exceeding two hundred meters. Its length and width both surpassed a thousand meters.
Around the Palace's exterior, there appeared to be a faint golden barrier, and it seemed to be the presence of this barrier that illuminated the Underwater World.
"This must be the true Sea God Temple," Neptune thought, then controlled the surrounding Seawater, propelling his Body downwards towards the Sea God Temple. He knew that the Inheritance of the Sea God God Position would undoubtedly take place within this magnificent Sea God Temple.
Soon, he reached the edge of the golden barrier. Suddenly, the Sea God Trident in his hand emitted a beam of Light, enveloping his Body and allowing him to pass directly through.
Only those recognized by the Sea God Trident could ignore this Protective Barrier. In the original work, Tang San, due to the damaged Sea God Trident, almost couldn't penetrate this thin Protective Barrier, forced to stare at the Sea God Inheritance that was so close.
After Neptune passed through the Protective Barrier, he felt his entire Body lighten. The surrounding Seawater had disappeared, and he plummeted directly downwards.
However, his descent stopped mid-air. Flight was no difficult feat for him, so there was no chance of him falling face-first into the dirt.
Suspended in mid-air, he looked at the Sea God Temple below, his Body slowly descending.
When he finally floated down to the front of the Grand Hall, he couldn't help but be moved by the grandeur of the place. He had to admit, even if the Gods of this World were a little 'low-level,' they were still Gods, possessing at least some divine majesty. The Temple before him was a testament to that.
