……
That golden blue light persisted for a full hour before it finally vanished. Tang San slowly closed his eyes, sensing the world, sensing every voice calling out and bowing in the ocean, the power of faith nourishing his heart. Countless creatures in the ocean called out to him in their most devout voices. Tang San’s Seagod power also improved in this belief.
The eight wings slowly folded back, closing on his back. Tang San withdrew his Seagod power, he’d already used his divine sense to declare the Seagod’s return to the seas. From this moment on, nobody could stain the ocean. He would complete the Seagod’s mission to protect every part of it.
“Little San, congratulations.” Dai Mubai looked at Tang San, his expression somewhat frustrated. Not so long ago he’d still been the strongest big brother of the Shrek Seven Devils, but now the difference between him and Tang San might be insurmountable. Looking at Tang San adorned in Seagod Raiment, he even felt a bit distant. After all, in terms of strength, they were already in different worlds.
“What are you looking at me like that for? Don’t recognize me?”
Tang San smiled a heartfelt smile. His voice was the same as before, without any difference, and the tone was equally familiar with his friends.
“I said long ago that the title of god is just people whose strength have reached a certain level. Gods are still people, just stronger. They might be called people who borrowed the power of the natural world to fulfill their potential. Then gods control all this. You’re also about the same age as me, and you’re all human geniuses. Maybe, before long you will also reach this domain like me. You’ve seen the process of my inheritance too, and you heard my discussion with the lord Seagod. As a god, he doesn’t seem to be any happier than humans. I will always be Tang San of the Shrek Seven Devils. You will also forever be my brothers and sisters.
As he spoke, Tang San’s golden blue light suddenly dwindled, all the armor and even the Seagod Eight Wings melting into him. All that remained was a golden blue robe, and even the Seagod Trident turned into a ray of light that disappeared into the Seagod brand on his forehead.
A moment ago he was still the Seagod with world shaking power, but the next, Tang San’s completely restrained presence felt no different from an ordinary spirit master. He seemed human. Of course, his hair was a bit longer than before.
Ma Hongjun exhaled,
“Great, third brother is still third brother. I thought after third brother became a god he would feel aloof.”
Ning Rongrong burst into giggles:
“I never felt that. Even if third brother really was so aloof, he still wouldn’t be like that to us. Now we don’t have to worry about Spirit Hall anymore, we have third brother overseeing. What does Qian Renxue count for?”
The atmosphere lightened again. Everyone jumped off their platforms one after another, gathering next to Tang San. They each grabbed the god bestowed spirit rings in their hands.
“Actually, you are the main force against Spirit Hall, not me.”
Tang San smiling grabbed Xiao Wu’s hand. It was damp and ice cold, and Tang San glanced a bit guiltily at her. He knew the cold sweat on Xiao Wu’s hand was because she had worried about him.
“We’re the main force? Little San, aren’t you mistaken?”
Oscar stared.
Tang San said:
“Of course it’s you. Don’t tell me it’d be me? True, I’ve already become the Seagod. But Spirit Hall also has the God of Angels Qian Renxue. Just now she already raised a challenge to me. Once the battle begins, there’s no telling how long my battle with her will take. Even if I can defeat her, that might not be enough to influence the situation on the battlefield. You should be the ones truly able to change the course of the battle. Your spirit power should have already reached the bottleneck. Then what are you waiting for? Don’t tell me you don’t want to hurry up and reach the pinnacle of humanity and enter the level we once dreamed of?”
The Shrek Six Devils all looked at each other. Ma Hongjun was the first to jump up,
“Yes! I was so excited for third brother that I forgot all about it. Haha, I’m going to be a Title Douluo too. I didn’t think the day would come so soon. I wonder how excited Xiangxiang will be when I come back as a Title Douluo. What do you think, what title should I take?”
Oscar said vulgarly:
“Calling you Evil Fire Douluo is fine, didn’t you always use to say that the evil fire can’t be suppressed? Your spirit turned into an Evil Fire Phoenix too.”
“Farts, daddy’s not gonna be called Evil Fire Douluo, or should you be called Sausage Douluo? Or Mushroom Head Douluo? Or Fly Douluo?”
Ma Hongjun immediately countered.
Oscar’s expression immediately turned awkward. Indeed, his title might really be the most difficult one.
Dai Mubai laughed:
“Leave your titles for later. Little San is right, let’s become Title Douluo first, and grasp that strength. We’ve already waited a long time for this day. This time we were bathed in little San’s light and could reach rank ninety so soon, I don’t want to wait any more.”
Dai Mubai directly sat down where he stood while he spoke, taking out the god bestowed spirit ring he just got and started cultivating it.
Everyone smiled at each other, then sat down crosslegged. Only Xiao Wu snuggled up in Tang San’s arms and didn’t move.
With the energy from the aftermath of the Seagod’s power, the Shrek Seven Devils’ spirit power had risen to the peak, and even Xiao Wu’s spirit power should stabilize over rank ninety. The large amounts of Deep Sea Demon Whale energy she had absorbed previously had already pushed her past rank eighty, though that wasn’t completely displayed since she still hadn’t absorbed any spirit ring. Now that she had completed the first rate trial and gotten another ten ranks of spirit power, she should be able to break through rank ninety no matter what. Further adding the Seagod energy she absorbed, the true level of her spirit power could only be known once she absorbed the god bestowed spirit rings.
“Xiao Wu, you absorb the spirit rings too.”
Tang San caressed Xiao Wu’s black hair, smiling.
Xiao Wu suddenly shook her head, looking at their comrades already absorbing spirit rings, and spoke softly:
“I know what you’re going to do. Ge, didn’t you promise me that no matter when, you would never leave my side. There’s no hurry to absorb spirit rings, I want to go with you.”
Tang San laughed in spite of himself:
“Why? You’re still worried about me?”
Xiao Wu said:
“It’s not worry, I’m just, just afraid of being inferior……”
Xiao Wu of course knew what Tang San was going to do. Having inherited the Seagod’s divinity, the first thing Tang San had to do was answer Qian Renxue’s challenge, meeting god level as god level. This battle was unavoidable. It was also what Tang San had to do. The others might have overlooked this out of excitement, but how could Xiao Wu forget? Moreover, she deeply remembered who had appeared in Tang San’s seventh trial of desire in the Seagod inheritance, that was Qian Renxue! It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Tang San’s love for her, just that she worried she couldn’t measure up to Qian Renxue, and felt a bit inferior.
“Silly girl, what are you thinking? In my heart, nobody could compare to you. You are my most important treasure. Don’t tell me you still don’t understand? Qian Renxue is indeed strong, but I love the person, not the strength. In my life there can only be one person I love, and that person is named Xiao Wu. Fine, since you insist, I’ll bring you.”
Xiao Wu nodded happily, holding tightly to Tang San’s waist, sticking her face to his chest.
Tang San floated up holding Xiao Wu, landing outside the now missing Seagod Palace, where the seven Seagod sacred pillar guardian Douluo were still waiting.
Led by Seadragon Douluo, the seven bowed simultaneously,
“We greet the lord Seagod.”
Tang San waved
a hand, and a stream of pure energy pulled the seven Title Douluo back up. His movements were very gentle, but the energy he released was still something Title Douluo level powers couldn’t compete with.
“You seven seniors need not be too polite, even having inherited the Seagod’s divinity, I’m still the Tang San from before. You can call me by name when there are no outsiders. I am also saddened by senior Bo Saixi’s death. But she had a good ending. That way we can also feel relieved. The Seagod may not lie.”
On mention of Bo Saixi, the seven Seagod sacred pillar guardian Douluos’ expressions were a bit saddened. After all, Bo Saixi wasn’t just the high priest of Seagod Island to them, she was also their teacher. But the sadness in their eyes didn’t reappear. No matter what, Bo Saixi had a good ending, that was the best conclusion.
Tang San turned around and looked at the Seagod Palace where only seven platforms remained:
“The Seagod Palace no longer exists. The Seagod is the protector of all living things in the ocean, he shouldn’t hide in a shrine. I’ll trouble you seven seniors to be stationed here. I’ll leave a portion of divine sense, and if there are any major issues in the ocean world, you can directly tell me from here. The Seagod’s divinity is restored, but the God of Angels has already raised a challenge. I have to leave a while. My friends are absorbing the power of spirit rings here, I’ll trouble you seniors to look after them. This Seagod Island will rely on all of you a lot in the future. Seadragon Douluo, seniro Bo Saixi is gone, so the position as Seagod Island high priest falls to you.”
“What? Me?”
Seadragon Douluo looked distracted a moment, glancing at Tang San’s comrades. After absorbing the spirit rings they got this time, Tang San’s friends would clearly all become Title Douluo, no weaker than these seven sacred pillar guardian Douluo. They also had such a close relationship with Tang San. Seadragon Douluo didn’t understand why Tang San would let him take up the role as high priest. In fact, on Seagod Island the high priest wasn’t just someone with the Seagod Douluo title, they also had authority beneath only one, and above all others. When the Seagod wasn’t present, everything would be managed by the high priest.
“Lord Seagod, your comrades have also received the Seagod’s power, the high priest originally let them assist in completing your inheritance in order to let them assist your rule over the ocean in the future. It’s more suitable for one of them to be the high priest.”
Even though Seadragon Douluo was tempted, he still said what he thought.
Tang San smiled:
“Senior Seadragon, you don’t need to decline. They are all my brothers and sisters, would I not know their character? To have them stay here forever isn’t something they could manage. The seven of you are still the seven sacred Seagod pillar guardian Douluo, and only you can be the high priest. When I am not here in the future, the affairs of Seagod Island will be jointly administered by you and all seniors.”
The guardian Douluo all looked at each other. After Tang San inherited the Seagod, they had never thought that not only would their authority not weaken, but on the contrary strengthen a step. This was their home, and after serving as guardian Douluo for so many years, which of them would like to give up the power?
The seven didn’t hesitate. Under Tang San’s crystal clear gaze, they knelt simultaneously, speaking respectfully:
“We accept the lord Seagod’s decree.”
Tang San smiled slightly, accepting their bow. His status was different now, and he had to accept this ceremony, it was necessary.
Once the seven Title Douluo bowed, Tang San took his leave and brought Xiao Wu to soar into the sky. The Seagod Eight Wings appeared on his back, quietly spreading out, and with a soft wave, everything around them became vague.
Tang San’s current flight speed was incredible, but in his arms Xiao Wu didn’t feel even a breeze.
“Ge, Seadragon Douluo and the others seem very grateful.”
Xiao Wu smiled. Tang San had at last completed the inheritance, which was also the most dangerous trial. Her excitement was now gradually spilling out.
Tang San smiled:
“It’s what they deserved. They have spent a lifetime of effort for Seagod Island, and even though I’ve inherited the Seagod’s divinity, to tell the truth, we’re still outsiders. How could steal their nest like cuckoos and dictate their lives? In the future, once we’re married, I will go with you wherever you want. These arrangements is also to give us freedom in the future!”
At Tang San’s mention of marriage, Xiao Wu couldn’t keep from blushing, quietly leaning against Tang San’s chest,
“Ge, this time, this time I really feel like I’ve almost become your wife.”
Tang San laughed out loud:
“Of course. This was already decided when I first met you when we were six. You are mine.”
Xiao Wu burst into giggles:
“I seem to recall back when we first met, a certain someone was thrown headfirst into the ground by me. Speaking of which, it seems I’m someone who’ve tossed a god.”
“Eh…….”
Tang San scratched his head,
“I was still young back then, and your soft skill is that amazing. You throw someone gets thrown. Beating is love, scolding is love. Xiao Wu, do you know? The happiest time of my life was from when we were six up to the end of the Continental Grand Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament. Because in those years we were always together, and we could live without a care or worry. I could cultivate with you every day, see you smile, just that satisfied me.”
Xiao Wu nodded softly,
“Me too.”
“We’re almost at the coast. Later you just have to watch from a distance.”
Xiao Wu raised her head with astonishment, but she discovered that all she could see around them was vague light, there was no land in sight.
“So soon?”
It felt like only a few minutes had passed. With that distance, even if the Demon Spirit Great White Sharks swam with all their power, it would still take three days!
Tang San smiled:
“Don’t forget, this is the ocean, my domain. Besides, my Eight Spider Lances evolved, in flight capability even Qian Renxue might not be able to match me.”
Faint light flickered, Tang San showed a gentle smile, and a golden blue light enveloped Xiao Wu. She immediately felt heart seem to be completely connected with Tang San’s heart. Raising her head she looked puzzled at him.
Tang San said:
“Even if Qian Renxue isn’t a contemptible person, we still have to be on guard. With the protection of my Seagod source power, you and me have become one. As long as I don’t die, there is no energy that can break this Seagod’s light and hurt you.”
Xiao Wu glared unhappily at him,
“Don’t talk about dying. You’re a god now, you’re immortal.”
Tang San laughed out loud:
“Right, right, I’m a god now, I’m immortal. Xiao Wu, don’t worry. I will definitely win.”
Chapter 317: Seagod VS Angel God
Xiao Wu burst into giggles:
“Why would I be worried? I’m not. Even if you and Qian Renxue are both gods, you had twin spirits before you became a god and she couldn’t beat you then, so what could she do now? I’ve never worried that you would lose to her. I just want to look out for you so you don’t get captivated by her. Humph humph, I remember, in her memories, with you……”
At this point Xiao Wu couldn’t help turning red. Tang San whispered:
“With me what?”
Xiao Wu softly beat his chest,
“Ge, you’re rotten. I’m not talking. That stuff’s too embarrassing.”
Tang San laughed out loud:
“Don’t worry. Didn’t I say it at my inheritance? My virginity is only for Xiao Wu. That kind of embarrassing stuff can naturally only be done with my Xiao Wu. Am I right?”
To Tang San’s surprise, even though Xiao Wu’s charming face was red a
s a ripe apple, she actually looked seriously at Tang San and nodded. She really looked superlatively cute. Even Tang San’s powerful will couldn’t avert the tidal surge of love, and he kissed her hard.
Qian Renxue floated quietly in midair. Her Angelic Raiment had already turned deep golden, the power of the pure True Sunfire. She had already seen the golden blue shooting star in the distance. When the creatures of the ocean saw the golden blue color they could only bow, let alone see anything inside it. But being a god as well, Qian Renxue could clearly see Tang San lowering his head to kiss the girl in his arms within that golden blue bundle of light.
A kind of unprecedented feeling surged up within Qian Renxue’s heart. This feeling had a name: Jealousy.
Tightly grasping the Sacred Angel Sword in her right hand, the nervousness she originally felt due to the looming god battle was completely replaced by anger brought forth by the jealousy.
A long howl issued from Qian Renxue’s mouth. The True Sunfire she absorbed into her surroundings and already permeated the Angelic Raiment exploded, the Sacred Angel Sword pointing at Tang San, her divine sense instantly erupting. Violent waves instantly rose all over the surface of the sea.
Even kissing Xiao Wu, Tang San sensed the enormous threat from Qian Renxue. With a cold snort, he waves his right hand and Xiao Wu was drawn into his Wishful Hundred Treasures Purse. This was the safest option, with the dual protection of the Wishful Hundred Treasures Purse and his Seagod power, Qian Renxue couldn’t harm Xiao Wu no matter how strong she was. Of course, Xiao Wu could still clearly see the entire battle from within the Wishful Hundred Treasures Purse through their divine sense connection, and also see it from Tang San’s point of view.
Brushing his right hand over his forehead, the Seagod Trident appeared in his palm out of nowhere. Strong golden blue light exploded, the Seagod’s divine sense rolling out like a raging wave, stiffly forcing Qian Renxue’s divine sense out of the range of the ocean. As Seagod, he was the protector of the ocean, and Tang San wouldn’t let Qian Renxue’s divine sense harm the creatures within.
