Chapter 725: If he doesn't die, you die!

Sea God Island, above the Central Inner Sea.

"You... you are Sister High Priest?!"

Three figures shot into view, and Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were immediately drawn to the white-haired old woman in the middle.

Afterwards, they exclaimed in unison.

"What on earth has happened?!" Xiao Wu could not hide her shock.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong's gaze had already noticed the two people beside Poseixi: "You are... Shui Bing'er? And Huo Wu? How are you together with Sister High Priest?"

"Many things have happened..."

Poseixi's voice was hoarse and unpleasant: "It is too complicated to explain, but I rushed back to tell you that the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect on the Dalu have fallen into a desperate situation."

"What?!"

The two covered their mouths and exclaimed again.

Ning Rongrong could no longer care about Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu, and immediately asked urgently: "What happened? Where is Brother Jian? Where is he?!"

"Qin Jian, he..."

Poseixi glanced at Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu, and seeing them hanging their heads, she thought for a moment and still did not reveal the reason, only saying: "He was seriously injured in an accident and is currently recuperating; he cannot rush over for the time being."

"Seriously injured?!"

Xiao Wu's pretty face turned pale: "How serious is it? Was his foundation damaged?"

Poseixi opened her mouth, and could only say: "This... I am not sure either."

"Sister High Priest, the most critical thing right now is the situation on the Dalu, isn't it?"

Ning Rongrong forced herself to calm down, her expression gradually becoming a bit more composed: "Can you tell us what happened?"

"I do not know the specific situation either, but what is certain is that hundreds of thousands of Spirit Masters are besieging Wuhun City!"

Poseixi said sternly: "I intend to have the seven Title Douluo of Sea God Island and Xiaobai go to the rescue, but the strength is still not enough."

"The two of them have currently lost all their power and also need a period of time to recover..."

She pointed at Shui Bing'er and Xiao Wu, then looked at Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, saying with deep meaning: "In extraordinary times, a single mistake could lead to lifelong regret. Your loved ones are there, and the people Qin Jian cherishes are there. What do you intend to do?"

"What do we do?"

Xiao Wu said anxiously: "We are trapped by the Sea God's Divine Power, we can't do anything!"

"No, we can."

Ning Rongrong immediately understood Poseixi's meaning.

She turned her head to pull Xiao Wu, her gaze deep: "We accept the Ninth Trial."

"Wh-what?"

Xiao Wu almost bit her own tongue.

"Xiao Wu, in times of crisis, one must act according to the situation," Ning Rongrong grabbed her hand and squeezed it gently: "Do you understand?"

Xiao Wu was confused, shaking and nodding her head at the same time: "I will listen to you."

Thus, the two closed their eyes together, searching for the Divine Sense left behind by the Sea God: "We accept the Ninth Trial."

After a long while, the Sea God finally responded: "Are you sure?"

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu nodded simultaneously: "Sure."

"Good."

The Sea God did not waste words and instantly released their restraints.

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu looked at each other, their expressions surprised; clearly, they had not expected it to be so simple to break free.

"You had best not lie to me," but the Sea God's voice sounded again: "I give you one month. If you cannot kill him, then the Assessment is considered a failure, and you shall go die yourselves."

The truth was revealed, and he didn't even want a shred of a god's demeanor anymore.

Xiao Wu bit her lip, saying nothing.

Ning Rongrong, however, suddenly said with a calm expression: "We don't even know where he is. What if we can't find him in a month?"

The Sea God said: "Rest assured, the current whirlpools are all concentrated on you; you will encounter him very soon."

Ning Rongrong knitted her willow brows, but did not ask anything further.

"Sister High Priest, please help us summon the Title Douluo of Sea God Island, we are rushing back to the Dalu immediately," she said to Poseixi.

Poseixi shook her head: "You are the High Priests now."

"Then Xiao Wu will go find Xiaobai, and I will go notify the Title Douluo guarding the Sea Sacred Pillars."

Swish! Swish!

Ning Rongrong did not hesitate and immediately pulled Xiao Wu away.

Seeing them head off into the distance, Poseixi finally breathed a slight sigh of relief: "With them leading the Sea God Island Title Douluo to go, it is at least something against the army of one hundred thousand Spirit Masters."

"Have they been cultivating on Sea God Island all this time? Why were they imprisoned just now?" Huo Wu could not help but ask curiously.

Poseixi glanced at them and said: "Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu obtained the Sea God Nine Trials. Because the final trial required Qin Jian to choose between me and them, they were unwilling to accept it, and thus were subjected to Divine Punishment."

"Divine Punishment!"

Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu could not help but exclaim, then fell silent.

A look of guilt slowly appeared on both their faces, clearly associating it with themselves.

"You didn't intend to hurt him either; just explain things clearly in the future," Poseixi said calmly: "I hope you have no regrets in the future and can live well with him."

"Come, my residence is over here; it is the place with the most concentrated soul power on the entire Sea God Island. You can recover faster there."

She led Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu down.

"Um, Sister High Priest..."

Shui Bing'er learned from Ning Rongrong and called out, a look of concern appearing on her face: "Your time is running out, and there is only one month left. Is there any way to help you recover? I don't think Qin Jian would want you to die."

Poseixi's expression was very calm: "I have already thought about it many times and struggled for a long time, over which one to choose between becoming a god and him."

"You also encountered such a choice?" Huo Wu said in surprise.

Poseixi nodded: "It seems the gods in the heavens are very fond of this method; they hope all the women who love Qin Jian will betray him."

"Then did you choose to give up becoming a god, High Priest sister, and give up eternal life?" Shui Bing'er exclaimed.

Poseixi turned to look at them, as if seeing the hesitation faintly appearing on their two pretty faces.

She smiled faintly, and even with a face full of wrinkles, she made the two of them, Shui Bing'er, feel a sense of regretlessness from the bottom of her heart.

"To me, becoming the Heartless God means I would already be dead," Poseixi said softly: "But by giving up becoming a god, even if only one month remains, I am still alive. Tell me, how would I choose?"

"Heartless God..."

Huo Wu repeated it murmuringly and said: "Must one lay down their emotions to become a god?"

Poseixi nodded: "At the beginning, there is no change, but after a hundred years, emotions will gradually fade away from oneself."

"I do not know what you want: a high and lofty status? The power to suppress the world? Or love that cannot be cast aside..."

She said indifferently: "If what you want is not emotion, but power, then please leave Qin Jian's side as soon as possible, and do not participate in the current gamble with the gods; otherwise, as pawns, you will mostly likely not have a good end."

Shui Bing'er remained silent.

"Bing'er, I can no longer feel the God Position on my body now," Huo Wu suddenly said.

Shui Bing'er nodded slightly: "After using us, they will naturally reclaim their power; they never truly wanted to give you or me an Inheritance."

"Actually, I have always been wondering, with my own talent, can I really become a god..."

Huo Wu looked down at her own fair hands and said in a low voice: "If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be able to, right..."

"It is not because of me that you received the God Trial," Shui Bing'er said calmly: "It is because we are both women loved by Jian Jian that the God Trial sought us out."

Huo Wu looked up at her, her eyes slightly red: "Since it never belonged to us in the first place, then we cannot force it, right?"

Shui Bing'er took her hand, her icy eyes flashing: "Then let's not have it; whatever becoming a god is, whatever endless life is, we don't want any of it."

Having said this, she suddenly felt her whole body relax, as if she had unloaded a heavy burden.

"If we don't want it, then we don't want it; anyway, I don't want to lose my emotions!"

Huo Wu swung her hand angrily: "These gods are too hateful!"

Seeing this scene, Poseixi could not help but smile.

Lord Sea God, do you see this?

Using the standards of ordinary people to measure us, you will definitely suffer a great loss...
