Chapter 710: You Only Have One Year Left to Live!

"The rejection reaction of a God Position? What is that?" Poseixi asked again.

The Sea God, however, was unwilling to say more: "These things, once you inherit the God Position, you will naturally understand as time passes. What you must do now is to sever your emotions and kill him."

Poseixi thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Since you say that after becoming a god one can remain for a hundred years, and it is not an immediate severing of emotions, then why must I give him up now?"

Watson, you have discovered a blind spot...

The Sea God Divine Sense paused for a long while before saying: "Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Only by letting go now will your wounds be the smallest. Otherwise, after a hundred years pass, your feelings for him will reach an inseparable point; separating then will cause you extreme agony."

"A destined loneliness, why delay it?"

Hearing the Sea God's words, Poseixi was also silent for a long time.

"But, is the process truly unimportant?"

She murmured: "Even if I know it is a bad ending, are such a beautiful process and memories truly useless?"

Sea God: "..."

"The me with these memories and the me without them are likely not the same person," Poseixi said: "To me, if I had never possessed such feelings, life would be a regret."

"Lord Sea God, you need not tempt me. Even if I know it is a parting, a conclusion of mutual forgetting, I will not give up this relationship. It is the most important part of me, and it is a memory I have longed for."

The Sea God had hit a wall with Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, and now he was rejected by her as well; that fiery temper was almost impossible to suppress!

"Poseixi! Do not forget, if you cannot become the Sea God, you have no hundred years at all. According to your life limit..."

The Divine Sense said word by word: "As you are now, you can only live for... one more year!"

"One year? I have known that for a long time..."

Poseixi watched Qin Jian's back in silence, her vision slowly becoming blurry, as if watching everything she loved drift away.

Gradually, it disappeared from sight.

Her heart tightened bit by bit, yet a faint smile struggled to appear on her face.

"Countless years of eternal youth and endless life in the future are not worth this last year spent with him?" The Sea God was clearly incredulous.

"Lord Sea God..."

Until now, Poseixi had never thought of calling him father.

"May I ask, Lord Sea God, after you entered the God Realm, what happened to my mother? Was she also taken by you to the God Realm?"

The Sea God was silent for another moment.

"I did not take her to the God Realm; she died..."

There was no look of surprise on Poseixi's face: "Is it because you felt she was unworthy?"

The Sea God said in a low voice: "No, it is because I could not accept feelings that were gradually fading yet still being maintained with effort. Becoming a god is the stripping away and letting go of emotion."

"This was your mother's own choice."

Seeming worried that Poseixi might form bad associations, he added: "I did not force her; it was just that she also felt there was no need to force things, so I accompanied her for a hundred years."

"Although the result was still a gradual estrangement, at least I could accompany her to the end of her life..."

Ripples of light shimmered in the depths of Poseixi's eyes: "I understand, I know her."

"I am doing this for your own good!"

Sensing her firmness, the Sea God could not help but let his tone grow more urgent: "Only after becoming a god will you understand how vast these endless planes and the endless universe are, and how tiny you are, trapped on Douluo Star. Come to the God Realm, you will not regret it!"

"No, I will definitely regret it."

Poseixi murmured in a low voice, as if asking her own heart: "I... will definitely regret it, because right now, this is the most beautiful life in my dreams!"

"Why are you always so stubborn!"

"In your past life you said this! In this life you still say this!"

"Why can you not trust your father just once?!"

"Could it be that I would harm you?!"

The Sea God was extremely furious.

Low roars echoed in Poseixi's ears, no longer carrying the high-and-mighty attitude of a Godhood.

"Because what you think is right has never been what I want..."

Poseixi gave a faint smile, poignant and moving: "Your so-called 'for my own good' is all what you think is good for me, not what I think is good for me. What meaning does that have?"

"Moreover," she paused and said: "You are not doing this entirely for me; it is more for yourself, for an answer and an obsession, and for certain ulterior motives regarding Qin Jian."

Sea God: "..."

"I don't know if it's because you've been a god for too long, but you have long forgotten the way people interact..."

Poseixi shook her head and said: "Have you not noticed that your own words are self-contradictory?"

"You keep preaching under the banner of doing it for my own good, but the premise is built on the foundation that you have been a god for countless years and your emotions have long since faded. How can such words have any credibility?"

Sea God: "..."

Poseixi continued: "Furthermore, it is not just your words; your actions are also self-contradictory. You spent decades making me wait for someone, yet you couldn't wait to destroy it after I established an intimate relationship with him. Don't you find that ridiculous?"

Sea God: "..."

"Perhaps it is because you have been away from the mortal world for too long and your power is too great, so much so that your schemes are as laughable as a baby learning to walk. Such methods can no longer be called a conspiracy; perhaps it is an open plot? A conspiracy turned into an open plot?"

The irony in Poseixi's words grew increasingly thick.

"If you hadn't said it, I truly wouldn't have noticed..."

The Sea God's emotions suddenly vanished completely, as if it hadn't been him who was agitated just a moment ago.

"Even if I constantly suggest to myself that you are my daughter, my last relative in this endless universe, the indifference from the bottom of my heart still makes me treat you as one of the billions of ants..."

"I can manipulate you at will, decide your life and death at will, without needing to care about your thoughts..."

The Sea God said indifferently: "However, whether my schemes—or rather, our schemes—will succeed is not for you to decide."

"Whether human nature is better judged by a high-and-mighty god or by an ant, let us wait and see."

The Sea God said: "Even if it has become an open plot, who can escape it? Just like you, knowing full well that I am tempting you, tempting you with youthful beauty and endless life, but can you really give it up?"

Poseixi smiled slightly: "Then let us wait and see."

"Right now you are still enjoying the honeymoon phase of two people just being together; you will slowly discover that the kindness he shows you will gradually diminish, while what he demands will become more and more..."

The Sea God seemed to see through everything: "No romance can remain sweet forever; trivial disputes are the daily reality of life. I hope you will still persist in your current decision when that time comes."

"The Ninth Trial will always exist. If one day you wish to become a god, then strike at this man you love so deeply. I will be waiting for that day."

"......"

With this, the Divine Sense transmission ceased.

Poseixi looked at Qin Jian's back, her gaze calm.
