Spirit world.

The soft halo floats quietly, the clouds are towering, and the illusory space gives people a wonderful feeling. In the distance, a towering azure palace is revealed.

A blue figure stood among the clouds, as if looking at something. If someone stared into his eyes, they would find that an island was reflected in his azure pupils.

“My Seagod Trident has lost contact with me. Could it be that Tang San is really the reincarnation of a powerful being from another plane as I thought?” With a hint of hostility between his brows, Seagod asked puzzledly: “But if it is a being from another plane, how can it be highly compatible with my Seagod Trident?”

“But none of this matters. Since the Seagod Trident has chosen him, even if he is a strong man from another plane, it has nothing to do with me. Anyway, as long as I pass on the throne, I can leave the God Realm and travel the universe.”

“But I have to be careful in the next test. If the other four great gods find out, I’m afraid there will be trouble again.”

After saying this, Poseidon raised his palm and a ray of azure light burst out.

Along with the appearance of the azure light, the Sea God Island in the lower world suddenly underwent tremendous changes.

In the Seagod Temple, the Seagod Trident held tightly in Tang San’s hand suddenly burst out with a dazzling light. A strong golden light burst out from the Seagod Trident. The dark hall seemed to be ignited by the golden light, and the Seagod Platform also shook violently.

Rumble!
A huge sound resounded throughout the entire sea; the Temple of Poseidon and even Poseidon Island were shaking due to the light of Poseidon’s trident.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, but as the light in the Temple of Poseidon suddenly shone, the magnificent temple was filled with golden light. The golden light shot straight into the sky, cutting through the entire sky and illuminating the entire Poseidon Island.

A thick golden pillar of light shot up into the sky, followed closely by the seven sacred pillars on Poseidon Island. At this moment, Poseidon Island was shrouded in sacred golden light.

The golden light lasted for more than ten seconds before slowly dissipating. The dark clouds completely turned golden under the shining golden light. Then, the golden dark clouds slowly condensed into a human figure.

As the human form condensed, all the creatures on Poseidon Island saw that person wearing golden armor and holding a huge golden trident.

“Poseidon, it’s Poseidon! Poseidon has appeared!”

“It’s Lord Poseidon, look!”

The sea soul masters standing under the sea god, when they saw the golden shadow suddenly appear in the air, almost simultaneously knelt down on the ground and worshiped devoutly.

The power of the Sea God can be seen from thousands of miles away. All creatures in the sea can feel the sacred aura of this golden shadow. At this moment, all the sea soul beasts stopped swimming and looked towards the direction of the Sea God Island, worshiping respectfully.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the depths of the ocean suddenly opened its huge single eye. After a strong murderous intent flashed in its eyes, it turned its gaze and looked towards a dark space where there seemed to be something.

“I agree to your request. Likewise, I want Poseidon dead.”

“Of course, as long as you launch an attack on the nearby city on time, then, I will take care of him for you.”

…………

Inside the Seagod Temple, Tang San raised his right hand high, holding the golden trident that was shining with golden light tightly in his hand.

“Finally, I can finally use you again.” Tang San looked at the Seagod Trident with joy. As long as he had it, after returning to Douluo Continent, even a Titled Douluo would not be his opponent.

Then, a voice came from his mind.

“The seventh test of Poseidon, pull out the Poseidon Trident, pass. Reward, the affinity of Poseidon increases by 15%, the total affinity is 85%, and you get the recognition of Poseidon Trident, so you can get the right to use Poseidon Trident.”

Hearing the word “right to use”, Tang San couldn’t help but smile. Whether it was the right to use or not, he would have to use it to find out.

“Congratulations, Tang San.” Poseidon looked at Tang San and said with a smile: “You have now truly gained the recognition of the Sea God.”

Tang San shook his head and said, “High Priest, I am just lucky. This Seagod Trident is predestined with me, so it is so easy to pull it out.”

Hearing this, Poseidon smiled slightly and said, “Tang San, your eighth test requires you to upgrade your martial spirit to the level of nine rings. At the same time, you also need to complete all the spirit rings for your martial spirit. Now, you have been recognized by the Sea God and can enter and leave the Sea God Island freely.”

“Okay, High Priest.” Tang San took a deep breath, and his mind couldn’t help but think of every little detail about him and Xiao Wu. The previous test was to resurrect his lover, but now, he only needed to hunt for all the spirit rings.

As he was thinking, Tang San walked out holding the Seagod Trident. Since he wanted to improve his strength and complete his spirit rings, he had to return to the mainland now, so he could also understand the situation.

When Tang San was about to leave the Seagod Temple, Poseidon’s faint voice came from behind him: “Tang San, if you see your great-grandfather Tang Chen, ask him to come to Seagod Island.”

“Of course, if I see my great-grandfather, I will let him come.” Tang San paused, turned around and said with a smile.

Watching Tang San leave, a hint of worry flashed in Poseidon’s blue eyes.

After leaving the Seagod Temple, the warm sunshine greeted him. Tang San opened his arms in relaxation, letting the warm light shine on him.

At this moment, the Seven Sacred Pillars standing outside the Seagod Temple, upon seeing Tang San coming out, immediately saluted him and said, “Greetings to the Seagod Successor.”

Hearing this, Tang San nodded slightly, and then set his gaze on the seven Titled Douluo. He soon discovered that the seven people’s eyes were all focused on the Trident of Poseidon, not him.

But he didn’t say much. He hadn’t yet completely inherited the throne of the Sea God, so it wasn’t a big deal that he didn’t receive the respect he deserved. Besides, these seven Titled Douluo were still useful to him. The situation on the mainland was chaotic at the moment, and without some powerful helpers, his return would not be very effective.

Thinking of this, Tang San walked to the Seven Sacred Pillars holding the Seagod Trident, and said: “Dear seniors, I still need your help to return to the mainland this time. I hope you can agree to it.”

Hearing Tang San’s words, the Seven Sacred Pillars looked at each other, and Sea Dragon Douluo said calmly: “Sir, it’s no problem for us to help you, but if we leave Seagod Island, who will guard this place?”

“Unless the high priest agrees, we cannot leave here without permission. Please forgive me, sir.”

“High Priest?” Tang San was startled, and after a moment’s hesitation, he said, “Well, I’ll go ask the High Priest for help.”

At this moment, Poseidon walked out of the Sea God Temple silently. She first glanced at the Seven Sacred Pillars, pondered for a moment, looked at Tang San, and said: “Tang San, although the Seven Sacred Pillars are Titled Douluo, their strength that can be exerted on land is at least reduced by 50%.”

“If you are really short of manpower, then it’s fine for the Seven Sacred Pillars to go back with you, but you have to promise me that you will make sure they return to Poseidon Island intact, okay?”

“High Priest…” The Seven Saint Pillars felt warm in their hearts. “Of course, Senior Poseidon.” Tang San agreed immediately, and then smiled: “I, Tang San, will do things from beginning to end. Since the High Priest has spoken, I will definitely bring the seven seniors back here safely.”

Wuhun City, Douluo Hall.

In the quiet hall, Qian Daoliu quietly looked at Qian Renxue who was gasping for breath. In order to let Qian Renxue complete the Nine Trials of Angel as soon as possible, he had already given her a lot of allowance, but the gap in strength was like a chasm between heaven and earth and could not be made up at all.

“Grandpa, I lost again.” Qian Renxue put away the holy sword in her hand and said with her head down.

“Xiaoxue, you are upset.” Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, his usual smile gone. He stared at Qian Renxue and said, “You don’t have much time left. Take a rest and then start the next assessment.”

Hearing this, Qian Renxue was silent for a while, then sighed and said, “Grandpa, you seem to be even more anxious than before. Did something happen?”

Qian Daoliu’s expression changed slightly, and he waved his hand, saying, “Nothing happened, but I have high hopes for you, Xiaoxue, don’t let Grandpa down.”

After he finished speaking, Qian Daoliu did not give Qian Renxue a chance to speak, and turned and left the Douluo Palace, leaving Qian Renxue standing there alone, her eyes red, her silver teeth biting her red lips until a hint of bright red gradually flowed from the corners of her lips.

“Grandpa, are you really going to give up your life for me?”

That’s right, Qian Renxue had been pretending these days. From the very beginning of the assessment, she had noticed Qian Daoliu’s abnormality, and every time they fought in the assessment, he would reveal some flaws.

How could Qian Renxue, who was familiar with Qian Daoliu, not see that these flaws were intentional by Qian Daoliu? But even so, she still silently completed the tasks assigned to her by Qian Daoliu until one day.

After the assessment, she secretly followed Qian Daoliu. Her grandfather, who was usually very sensitive to his surroundings, did not notice her. What made her most uncomfortable was that in order to prevent her from knowing his physical condition, he hid in a corner, coughing and spitting blood.

At that moment, Qian Renxue really wanted to rush forward to ask for clarification, but she didn’t, because she knew that Qian Daoliu’s lifelong dream was to see her achieve the hundredth level and inherit the throne.

But this position of deity would require the lives of her closest relatives to be achieved. How could she accept it with peace of mind?

So, in the next test, she deliberately lost to Qian Daoliu. Even when he showed a flaw, she pretended not to see it. She did all this just to stay with Qian Daoliu for some more time, because he was her last relative.

She didn’t want to let her grandfather leave her just like that. She could do anything to get what she wanted. She could be a ruthless empress in front of everyone, but in front of Qian Daoliu, she was still the little girl who needed care. She couldn’t bear to let Qian Daoliu leave her. She didn’t want to, and she didn’t want to.

“Grandpa, Xiaoxue has never asked for anything, but now, I just hope you won’t leave me, don’t leave me…”

Crystal clear tears slid down Qian Renxue’s delicate face. This girl, who used to do whatever it takes to achieve her goals, now felt pain and helplessness because of the imminent death of her loved ones.

Qian Renxue, in the years when she was sensible, she had never lived on her own. Everything she did was to fulfill Bibi Dong’s expectations and make her nominal mother accept her.

But until now, no matter what she did, Bibi Dong never saw her in her eyes, so she gave up, she gave up trying to please Bibi Dong, because she knew that although this person was her mother, she had never fulfilled her mother’s obligations.

What is the difference between such a mother and a stranger?
After lying dormant in the Tiandou Empire for more than a decade, Qian Renxue has become numb. Except for Qian Daoliu, everyone else is just a tool or a pawn in her eyes. But now, the person who loves her the most and worries about her the most is also passing away. How can she accept this?
“Sigh…” A faint sigh sounded in the Douluo Palace, accompanied by the appearance of a golden light. Qian Daoliu stood in front of Qian Renxue with a complicated expression.

“Grandpa.” The moment she saw Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes. She cried and threw herself into Qian Daoliu’s arms, sobbing loudly. She knew, she knew that as long as she completed the assessment, she would never see her beloved grandfather again.

“Xiaoxue, listen to grandpa.” Qian Daoliu gently patted Qian Renxue on the back and said softly: “Grandpa has done too many wrong things in his life, both to you and to myself.”

“You have to know that blindly compromising and forbearing will not bring you any rewards. What happened between your mother and your father should not involve you.”

“Grandpa originally wanted to protect you until the day you get married, but I don’t have much time left. Grandpa’s last wish is to see my granddaughter, Qian Daoliu, complete the goal that the Qian family has always needed to accomplish. So, Xiaoxue, don’t be sad, don’t blame yourself, all of this is what Grandpa is willing to do.”

“No matter what happens in the future, in Grandpa’s heart, you will always be the lovable Xiaoxue…”

“Great Priest, something happened!”

At this moment, a petite blue figure appeared in the hall. As soon as he stepped in, he saw the grandfather and grandson hugging each other. His face suddenly changed and he coughed lightly, “Great Priest, my second brother asked me to tell you that the alien creatures seem to be about to take action.”

“I understand.” Qian Daoliu nodded slightly and said, “Guang Ling, you go out first, I will be there soon.”

“Yes, great priest.” Guangling Douluo bowed, then turned and left.

“Okay, Xiaoxue, let’s take a rest today. Let’s go outside together.” Qian Daoliu said softly.

“Hmm…” Qian Renxue said softly.

At this moment in Wuhun City, all the soul masters looked up at the sky, and fear flashed in their eyes.

“Oh my god, is that the portal that appeared in Tiandou City?”

“I heard that there are all magical beasts from other worlds, which are more powerful than soul beasts.”

“How can it be so big? This portal is already bigger than the one in Tiandou City!”

The appearance of the teleportation portal caused a commotion in Wuhun City. At this time, all the high-level soul masters of the Wuhun Empire gathered together. Originally, they were going to attack the two empires according to Bibi Dong’s orders, but now it seems that self-preservation is more important.

The bright sky was swallowed up by the descending darkness. There was no light to be seen as far as the eye could see, as if the whole world was shrouded in darkness.

“Look, it’s the great offering!”

As everyone was amazed, someone shouted, and two streams of light flew out from the Spirit Hall and finally landed on the square in front of the Pope’s Palace.

“Grandpa, this is…” Qian Renxue looked at the scene in disbelief. From the sky swallowed by darkness, she felt an extremely strong evil thought that wanted to destroy Douluo Continent. Even her martial soul was released by itself because of this darkness.

Qian Daoliu looked at the sky solemnly and said in a deep voice: “They…are almost here.” (End of this chapter)
