Chapter 181: Achieving Godhood, Reactions from All Sides.
2023-04-04 Author: Fu Hejun
The Sea God is gone?
Looking at the enormous chair in the innermost part of the Grand Hall, Neptune suddenly noticed a sphere of light on it. He instinctively reached out, and the sphere of light was captured by an invisible force, eventually landing in his hand.
The moment his hand touched the sphere of light, he was stunned. This light contained information left by the Sea God before his departure, revealing that it was Bo Saixi's soul and offering two options for its handling.
One option was to open a passage and send it directly to the Sea God Temple in the God Realm, where divine servants would receive it. Once there, the God Realm's immortal spiritual energy would automatically reshape her physical body, allowing her to become a God Official.
The other option was to reshape her physical body and resurrect her, though her cultivation would have to restart from scratch.
Whether to send Bo Saixi directly to the God Realm or reshape her physical body and keep her in the mortal realm, the Sea God left the choice to him, the newly appointed Sea God, before leaving the God Realm to explore the unknown universe beyond the Douluo Great Star System.
"It seems my previous words led to this."
"But he left so quickly, was he that impatient?" Neptune shook his head. He didn't linger, putting away the soul in his hand for now, preparing to leave this place.
A blue-gold light shimmered silently, transforming into a stream of light. In the next moment, Neptune appeared outside the Sea God Temple. His body floated upwards, and with a flash of light and shadow, he easily passed through the light barrier and entered the clear seawater.
Re-entering the water, the feeling was completely different.
Neptune felt as if the seawater was an extension of his own body. After becoming the Sea God, there was no need to circulate soul power; with just a thought, the seawater would propel him to his desired location.
Although he could control water before, now that he had become the Sea God, it was like adding wings to a tiger! His water control ability had vastly improved. He could also sense every ounce of energy contained within the seawater and fully appropriate it for his own use, unleashing various transformations!
His strength was incomparable to before.
After briefly sensing his new power, Neptune waved the Sea God's Trident in his hand. A blue light flashed, and the light gate, which had seemingly disappeared in the seawater, silently reappeared before him. The now blue-gold gate still flickered with fiery light.
He didn't hesitate, stepping directly through the gate, leaving this buffer zone between the God Realm and the human realm, which was also the inheritance ground of the gods.
The moment he stepped out of the light gate, on Sea God Island in reality, all the light patterns within the entire Sea God Temple turned blue-gold, seemingly excitedly welcoming the return of their king.
Scanning the empty Sea God Temple, Neptune looked up towards the temple ceiling, slowly raising the Sea God's Trident in his hand. Having initially achieved godhood, he still had one task to perform: to declare to all living beings of the great sea from the Sea God Temple atop Sea God Mountain on Sea God Island—the Sea God has descended!
Blue-gold light converged towards the temple ceiling in wave-like ripples. Finally, a massive blue-gold pillar of light shot up into the sky, transforming into an unparalleled beam of Sea God's light that pierced straight into the heavens!
This light was so grand and vast, so earth-shattering, that the sky above the sea surface was completely dyed in the same color.
The great sea boiled, and the seawater instantly surged several hundred meters. All the sea creatures frantically swam towards the surface. Drawn by the immense power of the Sea God, they vied with each other to witness the sky above the great sea, which had turned blue-gold.
With a faint glimmer, Neptune's expression became exceptionally serene, untouched by excitement despite the magnificent and vast energy. Within his divine sense, there was only a gentle solace, soothing the agitation in the hearts of all living beings in the great sea.
Below Sea God Mountain.
The Sea God Seven Sacred Pillars Guardians were now kneeling, respectfully bowing towards the Sea God Temple. The sadness in their eyes had vanished, replaced by an almost frenzied excitement.
The moment the blue-gold pillar of light shot into the sky, Neptune's divine sense had already infiltrated their minds, informing them that Bo Saixi could be resurrected. This news dispelled the last shred of misgiving in their hearts.
At this very moment, all residents on Sea God Island had gathered in an open space, prostrating themselves towards Sea God Mountain. Tears of excitement glistened in their eyes. For how many years, through how many generations, had they waited for this moment? They had finally awaited the return of Lord Sea God, who was their faith!
Outside Sea God Island, on the sea surface, the entire Demonic White Shark Tribe appeared on the water. Xiaobai gazed towards Sea God Mountain, at the blue-gold pillar of light soaring into the sky, and her large eyes revealed an expression of extreme excitement.
On the many islands in the great sea, many of the people living there also witnessed that marvelous sight in the distance, looking at the sky that had turned blue-gold. They were all stunned; the Sea God's might rendered them speechless. Inside, there was nothing but shock.
Spirit Hall, within the Douluo Hall.
Beneath the colossal Six-Winged Angel idol, an old man sensed something and looked up towards the great sea. As the Angel God's High Priest, he could clearly feel that divine might!
"Someone has achieved godhood!"
"This aura... it's from the coast."
"He... did he ultimately inherit the Sea God's position?"
"Bo Saixi..."
Qian Daoliu's eyes showed a pained, regretful, yet relieved expression. As a High Priest chosen by a god, he understood that the birth of a god required High Priests like them to sacrifice their lives. Thus, since the Sea God had been born, Bo Saixi, as his High Priest, had naturally left this world forever.
"...Wait for me. I'll be there soon too..." Tears welled in his eyes as he murmured to himself, "I hope we can meet again in the next life..."
On the other side, in the Pontiff's Palace.
As the chosen successor of the Rakshasa God, Bibi Dong also felt that immense aura of the Sea God, and her face immediately darkened. Although she had long anticipated Neptune would achieve godhood, she never expected him to do so this quickly.
The existence of a god could undoubtedly hinder her plans.
However, it wasn't certain. After all, her plan was to unify the continent; she had never intended to interfere with the great sea. Even if she wanted to, she lacked the power. Therefore, for now, it seemed the Sea God would not easily come to the continent, so the impact on her plans shouldn't be too significant.
Heaven Dou Empire, Crown Prince's Mansion.
As this generation's chosen successor of the Angel God, Qian Renxue could naturally also sense that unique aura belonging to a god. She gazed towards the great sea, already understanding that Neptune had achieved godhood!
This brought a sense of urgency to her heart. After all, strictly by age, Qian Renxue wasn't much older than Neptune. Yet, he had already achieved godhood, while her own path to godhood was still distant and uncertain... The blow to her was considerable.
"Do I... really have to give up?"
Qian Renxue's heart fell into deep turmoil.
Reason told her that the most sensible thing to do now was to immediately abandon her identity as Xue Qinghe and revert to her true self. Then, she should focus on facing the Angel God's nine trials and strive to achieve godhood as soon as possible!
However, she was incredibly reluctant to abandon so many years of effort. After all, to execute this plan, the most beautiful years of her life had been squandered.
She had paid too much for this plan. How could she be willing to give it up now?
