Chapter 709: Kill Qin Jian to Prove the Dao!

"Abandon him..."

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance, both seeing the same meaning in each other's eyes: as expected, it had come to beguile them.

"Can we really become gods if we abandon him?" Ning Rongrong probed.

The Divine Sense spoke indifferently: "Correct. As long as you are willing to strike at him, I will undo the shackles of Divine Power. When that time comes, as long as he dies, you will be able to become gods."

Ning Rongrong's eyes narrowed: "You mean to say that not only must we abandon him, but we must also turn against him and kill him to become gods?"

"Yes."

The Divine Sense was concise and to the point.

"You want me to hurt Brother? In your dreams!"

Xiao Wu exploded instantly: "I don't want this God Trial anymore! Let me go!"

"I believe I told you long ago that once a God Trial begins, it cannot be stopped. Either you succeed, or you die; there is no third outcome," the Divine Sense said coldly: "If you do not kill him now, then you can only go die yourselves."

Ning Rongrong was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Why must we turn against Brother Jian?"

The Divine Sense paused and said: "The power within him concerns the endless Planes. His sacrifice will bring about an endlessly bright future, and he will not truly die."

"What does that mean?" Ning Rongrong asked.

The Divine Sense said: "As long as his power is stripped away, we will find a way to resurrect him."

"Is that so..."

Ning Rongrong's expression was very calm.

Seeing that she and Xiao Wu had not spoken for a long time, the Divine Sense could not help but say: "Do you really think he will come back to help you undo your shackles? I might as well tell you that he will never have another chance to turn back, because once the plan reaches the time to close the net, it can never be stopped again."

"Are my and Xiao Wu's betrayals also part of the plan?" Ning Rongrong said faintly.

The Divine Sense said: "It counts as icing on the cake. According to the current situation, you are no longer essential. Therefore, I advise you to make a decision early; that way, you can contribute a bit more, and there will be many benefits after you become gods in the future..."

"Shut your mouth." Ning Rongrong said suddenly.

"You only have... hm? W-what?!"

The Divine Sense was stunned in disbelief, as if no one had ever spoken to it like that before.

"I said for you to shut your mouth, do you not understand?"

Ning Rongrong repeated it again.

The Divine Sense remained silent for a long time, seemingly calming its mood.

"I will not bicker with a little girl like you. If your mind changes at any time, tell me through the mark..."

A god still possessed a great deal of self-restraint.

"Rongrong told you to shut your mouth, do you not understand? Can a god not even understand a simple sentence?" Xiao Wu interrupted coldly.

Divine Sense: "..."

"Poseixi."

Poseixi, who was following Qin Jian as he flew at high speed, suddenly shuddered.

"Poseixi."

A Divine Sense suddenly descended, transmitting directly into her ears: "Continue flying; do not let him discover you."

Poseixi frowned slightly, but still flew up, continuing to maintain the same speed as Qin Jian.

"Is that Lord Sea God?"

She transmitted her voice back.

"Correct. I have come to fulfill my promise," the Divine Sense said: "What happened before was their choice and yours; this is your true God Trial."

"My true God Trial?"

Poseixi was somewhat vigilant.

The Divine Sense sensed this and said: "You have believed in the power of the Sea God for a lifetime; do you not wish to truly inherit the Sea God Position?"

Poseixi was silent for a moment and asked: "What is my Ninth Trial?"

The Divine Sense said without hesitation: "Kill this man."

"W-why?!"

Poseixi found it hard to accept: "Why must I kill him?! It was clearly you, Lord Sea God, who said he was my fated companion by divine decree!"

"I only told you it was fated by divine decree, but I never said it was a romantic relationship," the Divine Sense said indifferently: "In reality, he is the mental barrier from your past and present lives that prevents you from reaching the summit. Only by loving, then letting go, can you truly transcend yourself and reach a height you have never touched before."

"Past and present lives?"

Poseixi said in surprise: "What does this have to do with my past life?"

"You saw the Ocean's Tear, didn't you? That is the product left behind by your martyrdom in your past life..."

The Divine Sense said: "What is laughable is that the very thing that caused you to commit martyrdom was a false illusion. You abandoned becoming a god for it, abandoned a lifetime of cultivation. Do you intend to do the same in this life?"

"Ocean's Tear... Ocean's Tear..."

Poseixi murmured: "No wonder every time I see that light, I cannot help but shed tears..."

"You just said that it was a false illusion? Does that mean my love in my past life was nothing but a dream?"

The Divine Sense replied: "Correct. That was merely a false memory created by my opponent, and you fell right into it, nearly causing me to be implicated as well."

Poseixi asked curiously: "Why would my falling into it affect Lord Sea God?"

The Sea God Divine Sense was silent for a moment before slowly saying: "Because... you are my daughter."

"What?!"

Poseixi was truly stunned: "I am your daughter?!"

"Correct," the Sea God said: "If not for your stubbornness in your past life, you would have already entered the God Realm with me by now."

Poseixi remained dazed for a long time before accepting this fact: "Then I should have known these things in my past life, right? Why did I still commit martyrdom?"

The Sea God sneered: "Back then, I broke through the illusion, but you felt that my breaking of the illusion was itself the illusion. In the end, for the sake of so-called true love, you gave up your own life, nearly causing me to suffer a backlash and lose my God Position!"

Poseixi: "..."

"Give it up. Sever the emotions of this lifetime, and I can pass the Sea God position to you," the Sea God said.

"Why must emotions be severed?" Poseixi asked.

The Sea God said: "Because a God Position and emotions cannot coexist."

"Cannot coexist?!"

Poseixi said in surprise: "Then why did you care for me back then?"

The Sea God paused before saying: "The gradual fading of emotions is a process. It takes about a hundred years for human emotions to near disappearance, which is why one is allowed to remain in the lower realm for a hundred years after becoming a god. Those matters of mine occurred within those hundred years."

Poseixi was silent for a moment, seemingly digesting these words of his.

"In other words, the Sea God at this moment has no fatherly affection for me, is that right?" she suddenly said.

Sea God: "..."

"Since that is the case, how could you sincerely be thinking of my best interests?"

Poseixi said indifferently: "Just like when you forced Qin Jian to make a choice before, you have your own objectives."

The Sea God was silent for another moment: "Although emotions will disappear, the instincts of a human will not. That is why I subconsciously pay attention to you. More importantly, I hope you can make the correct choice in this lifetime so that you can succeed the Sea God position."

"I am not willing to give this position to anyone else."

Poseixi asked curiously: "Then why don't you just keep being the Sea God? Why do you have to give it up?"

The Sea God said helplessly: "There is no way around it. Every god cannot escape the rejection reaction of a God Position..."
