224. Chapter 222: Choosing for Yourself

……

"Then... Lord Sea God, should I agree to him?" Poseixi asked.

"This matter, you should decide for yourself," Poseidon said.

"Me?" Poseixi was stunned.

"But..."

"If you agree to him, then you will be the new Sea God," Poseidon said.

"The future fate of Sea God Island and the continuation of the Sea God faith will all be decided by you."

"You are no longer just my High Priest, but also the future Sea God. You must think about this matter yourself; you cannot expect me to tell you the answer."

Nan Feng told Poseixi about this matter precisely because he was certain he would not interfere.

And the facts were indeed so.

During this period, because the shock Nan Feng brought them was too great, as well as the matter of the Dragon King's Dragon Soul, Goodness and Evil set aside the matter of the God of Slaughter Xiu Pu Ruo Si for the time being, turning instead to investigate Nan Feng's situation on the Douluo Continent.

After understanding most of the situation, their evaluation of Nan Feng as a person was somewhat polarized.

Xiuluo still insisted on his view: Nan Feng was too dangerous. A person who did not even care about himself could bring catastrophic disaster to the God Realm at any time; he insisted his judgment was not wrong.

But Life felt that Nan Feng's behavioral logic had never truly spiraled out of control. He had indeed brought huge danger to the continent, but in the matter of Tang Chen, Nan Feng did not act like a true madman, choosing to drag everyone down with him.

Nan Feng was dead, but the continent had not erupted into war; in fact, everything seemed to be developing in the direction Nan Feng had envisioned.

Although tense, it was undeniable that the current Douluo Continent was more peaceful than any other era! Not to mention wars between nations, even conflicts between those sects were rare.

Life believed Nan Feng was just overly tense. The purpose of everything he did was good; although the results were somewhat twisted, in terms of facts, they were also good. It was just that his methods were somewhat extreme.

Moreover, what kind of hellish place was Slaughter City?

Although it was the inheritance site of Xiuluo, ever since that place was polluted by Rakshasa, it was filled with depraved evil thoughts. One could not expect anyone who came out of that hellhole to be normal!

Nan Feng descended into that kind of hellhole as a child, yet after leaving, what he yearned for were still things of light; this was enough to show that there was no problem with the person himself.

Nan Feng was indeed crazy, but he was sufficiently restrained.

Furthermore, if he truly did not care about anything, he would not have chosen such an ending.

He had already deliberately minimized the negative impact his death would bring.

If he were truly twisted, he should have sparked a great war with his death, rather than dying in a silent, noiseless way.

"Then... if it were you facing this choice, what would you do?" Poseixi asked.

"If it were in the past, I might have joined him in his cause," Poseidon said.

"……"

"Ah?" Poseixi looked bewildered.

Poseidon paused, "Why do you think I spent a thousand years conquering the sea?"

"To become a god?"

"Back then, I was just an ordinary Sea Spirit Master. As for the so-called faith to become a god, I didn't know such a thing existed at first. I only started my thousand-year conquest because I was stuck after reaching level ninety-nine."

"What did I set out on my journey for? Even I don't know."

"At that time, I had reached a realm no one else could reach. Even though I was already a hundred years old, I could still be considered young and frivolous. Conquering the sea was just an idea. As for becoming a god, I didn't even know gods existed back then, let alone making it my goal."

"I discovered the possibility of a breakthrough on the path of conquest, not that I conquered in order to break through."

"The lives of this vast sea do not revere me as the Sea God because of my strength; it is because I brought order and tranquility here that I was exalted by them as a deity. I moved forward through the wind and waves, not knowing what the road ahead was like, nor knowing how far I could go. He is the same."

"Now, you are the same."

"Whether to help him, or refuse him, or remain silent—this is your own choice, and it is the future you must face."

"I will not help you make the decision."

"But if you choose to follow him, then you will become my successor, and I will do my best to assist you. Poseixi, you are no longer a child; you have grown up."

……

"It's been so long, and she still hasn't given an answer. Could it be..."

On the coast, Bibi Dong could no longer wait.

If Poseixi told Poseidon about this, and Poseidon teamed up with Xiuluo to charge down here? If they waited any longer, they would be finished!

"What are you panicking about?" Nan Feng asked, puzzled.

"What am I panicking about?" Bibi Dong was speechless.

"What do you think?"

"Are you really not afraid that Poseidon will call Xiuluo down?"

She could fight Poseidon, but she absolutely could not fight Xiuluo! Xiuluo could kill her with a single sword strike!

"Why should I be afraid?" Nan Feng asked, puzzled.

"Be..." Bibi Dong was stunned.

"You don't mean... you can still use Ghost Possession?"

"Of course," Nan Feng said.

"Otherwise, why do you think I'm so composed?"

Even if Poseixi and Poseidon both exceeded his expectations and called Xiuluo down, it wouldn't be a big problem.

He had only lost his body, not been completely crippled.

Although his martial soul had completely shattered the moment he died, after he was swallowed into Bibi Dong's body via the Eight Spider Lances, the power of the martial soul had already merged with his body.

The Dragon Souls of the two Dragon Kings had also merged with his soul, or rather, his Divine Soul.

Now, he was the Dragon King.

The quality of his Divine Soul was superior to Bibi Dong's; even if Xiuluo charged down, he could seize Xiuluo's body just like he had seized Qian Daoliu's body in the past!

"What are you panicking for?" Bibi Dong looked like she had a stomachache. "Then why didn't you tell me?"

"I thought you were completely finished!"

Nan Feng wore a strange expression. "You didn't ask me."

"..." Bibi Dong.

"Fine! Then I'm asking now, how much ability do you, old man, still have?"

"A Divine Soul at nearly the God King Level," Nan Feng said.

"I have the complete ability to fight for a body against a God King, and furthermore, after you devoured Tang Chen's soul, I obtained the experience of the first eight trials of the Asura God from his soul, including the method to control the Asura Demon Sword."

"If Poseidon calls Xiuluo down, I can let you see the scene of the Sea God being slain by a single sword strike from the Asura God in a matter of minutes."

Bibi Dong looked speechless. "If you had this ability, why couldn't you have told me sooner?"

"Do you know how nervous I've been during this time?"

She had truly believed that she was the only one here who could fight! If even the slightest problem arose, they would be completely finished!

As it turned out, this bastard actually had the full ability to guarantee their safety?!

"I thought you believed I had this ability," Nan Feng said strangely.

"Besides, I already told you, my plan is to possess the body of the Jin Long Wang. If I didn't even have the ability to fight for a body against Xiuluo, do you think I would be thinking about trying to provoke the Jin Long Wang?"
