Chapter 652: The True Identity of Poseibei

"So, the name is indeed correct?" Qin Jian asked.

Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Before Lord Sea God became a god, he was indeed called by that name."

Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance, then asked together: "Then have you heard of his daughter?"

Xiaobai: "???"

This topic jumped a bit too far.

Her brain held over a hundred thousand years of memories, so searching through them was a bit sluggish.

"Hmm... it seems there was a daughter..."

Xiaobai pondered for a long time and said: "It seems that not long after Lord Sea God became a god, his daughter, who was also the first High Priest of the Sea God Hall, should have been named Poseibei. Because she gave up her God Inheritance, she suffered Divine Punishment and vanished into thin air..."

Qin Jian, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu looked at each other in dismay: "Poseibei? North? East, West, North? It's just missing South..."

"Oh right, it was miserable back then. It is said that her ashes were scattered on both sides of the continent. In order to be reunited, she forcibly flooded half of a continent," Xiaobai recalled: "If I remember correctly, that seems to have been a place called the Sun Moon Continent..."

Qin Jian: "..."

"Her own ashes were scattered on both sides of the continent?" Ning Rongrong asked strangely: "Wasn't it that her ashes and her lover's ashes were scattered separately?"

"No," Xiaobai shook her head, causing a wave to rise: "There was no lover at all, so where would those ashes come from? From beginning to end, it was only her."

Qin Jian stroked his forehead in thought: "They say I was born for love, but she gave up her future and her family for a fantasy of love... Should I call her foolish? Or should I say she reached the ultimate extreme of the word 'love'?"

"Brother Jian, if you really are the one destined for her in this life..."

Ning Rongrong suddenly looked up and said earnestly: "Then you must help her, help her break free from her father's control and possess true love."

"She is so pitiful, Brother, please help her, because," Xiao Wu grabbed Qin Jian's hand and said: "Even if she is a Limit Douluo, she doesn't have much life left..."

Kindness from the bottom of their hearts overcame their jealousy as young women.

Qin Jian reached out and patted their hair at the same time: "Don't worry, I will never let down any sincere affection."

"Mm!"

The two girls gripped his hands tightly, one on the left and one on the right, leaning against his chest.

Xiaobai, under their feet: "???"

Everyone is a Soul Beast, so why is the affection between you all so complicated? How come I can't understand it?

Two women serving one husband is one thing, but how can they have no hard feelings about another person joining in?

Then why is it so hard for me to find a mate?

Are you bullying a fish?!

Not long after, the mist dispersed. Under the blue sky, white clouds, and clear sea, an island so vast it seemed like an entire continent appeared at the end of their line of sight.

"What a huge island..."

Ning Rongrong exclaimed: "I can't see the edge at all. Is this really an island?"

"Sea God Island is very large. It even has its own inland sea. There are seven main cities on the island, with tens of thousands of people living and working in peace and contentment. It is a holy land in the sea."

Xiaobai rode the wind and waves, bringing Qin Jian and the others toward the shore at high speed.

Soon, the group went ashore together.

Xiaobai also transformed into human form and followed beside them.

Looking out, Sea God Island was a sea of green.

This huge island gave them the feeling of having returned to the Douluo Continent; at a glance, one could not see the edge.

Various plants grew on the island, many of which they could not name.

The scent of the sea rushed toward them in the air—fresh, moist, and refreshing to the heart—and the sound of the tide was faintly audible in the wind.

Under the sunlight, the beach was white and delicate, with sand grains like little Water Crystals shimmering with silver light.

"Ji ji..."

Upon arriving here, the first thing one felt was clarity. The sea and sky were one color, with seagulls racing and soaring, their cries echoing in bursts.

The sky was azure blue, blue as if it were high and distant, pure, and transparent.

"So beautiful!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed.

"Here..."

Qin Jian stood on the soft beach, listening to the sounds of nature, his body and mind feeling as if they had been completely opened: "This place is like the Star Dou Great Forest on the ocean. It's very good."

"Does Brother miss home?"

Xiao Wu walked beside him, smiling and chatting.

Qin Jian grabbed her hand and shook his head slowly: "I just, I yearn for such peaceful days."

He tilted his head back and took a deep breath: "Moving forward day and night, I had almost forgotten what leisurely days were like."

"Then the Master can live on Sea God Island for a while longer; it is very peaceful here," Xiaobai said with a smile.

"That depends on whether Sea God Island welcomes me," Qin Jian smiled: "Let's go."

But just as they stepped off the beach and onto a small path, a low shout came: "Who goes there?!"

Seven or eight figures suddenly darted out from the woods, blocking the path of the four.

These people looked different, but they had one common trait: their clothing, which was similar to a martial outfit, was pale yellow.

The oldest among them was about forty, and the younger ones were about the same age as Qin Jian.

There were eight people in total, lined up to block Qin Jian and the others in front of the woods.

"Ah! It's Lord Bai!"

But the next moment, the group caught sight of Xiaobai, and they immediately lowered their heads respectfully, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Clearly, this was not the first time they had seen the form of the Guardian Divine Beast, Lord Xiaobai.

"It's nothing, you may withdraw."

Xiaobai waved her hand casually, then asked Qin Jian, "Master, are you going to the Sacred Pillar? Anyone who wants to stay on Sea God Island must go there to undergo the trial."

"Ma-Master?!"

The eight people had already retreated, but at this moment they stopped in horror, their gazes shaking as they looked toward Qin Jian.

Their Guardian Divine Beast had acknowledged this man as her master?!

"Lady Bai, this..."

Before the middle-aged man in the Yellow robe leading them could finish his sentence, Xiaobai frowned and looked over, her eyes glaring as terrifyingly as a fierce beast: "What? Do I need your permission to decide who I acknowledge as my master?"

"Ah, no, no..."

Thump.

The middle-aged man knelt down in terror, his head almost hanging to the ground: "Lady Bai, your subordinate has offended you!"

"Hmph!"

Xiaobai let out a cold sound, scaring the few people until they trembled.

Although she was nominally the Guardian Divine Beast, her status was completely equal to the seven Title Douluo under Poseixi, so these people naturally dared not offend her.

"Just take us to the Sea Sacred Pillar; let's first obtain the qualification to stay on Sea God Island," Qin Jian said with a smile.

"Then follow me, Master," Xiaobai suddenly withdrew her cold, pretty expression and pointed ahead, saying: "The closest one here is the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar; pass through the forest, and we will arrive soon."

"However, with Master's talent and strength, could it be the Sea God Nine Trials directly?" Xiaobai covered her mouth and smiled.

"Thump! Thump!..."

The legs of the few Sea Spirit Masters who had just stood up went soft, and they knelt down again.

Heavens, a being deemed by Lady Bai as capable of obtaining the Sea God Nine Trials—who exactly is he...
