Chapter 420: Calling them servants sounds nice, but calling them dogs is the ugly truth

~13 min read 2,598 words

No one except a powerhouse like Ye Lin, who has reached God Level, can approach the body of the Deep Sea Demon Dragon.

Only when the body of the Deep Sea Demon Dragon decays,

and the power within it drifts away bit by bit into the surroundings, can it be absorbed.

Perhaps it has been countless years,

but a single drop of blood flowing from the Deep Sea Demon Dragon would be fiercely contested by countless Sea Soul Beasts.

From the sea area where the Deep Sea Demon Whale King resides to Sea God Island,

it took the Demon Soul Great White Sharks only one day of swimming at full speed.

Seeing the blue sea and silver sands once again,

everyone felt a sense of relief and triumph.

The last time they came here, even the strongest among them, Ye Lin, had a soul power of only level seventy.

But at this moment, everyone's strength has undergone a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering change.

Especially Ye Lin,

who slaughtered a god with a single hand.

"I will see you off only to here."

"Tang San, I wish you good luck. When you truly become the Sea God,"

"I will celebrate with all the creatures in the ocean."

Xiaobai stood upright in the water, waving her front fins toward the Shrek Seven Devils.

Only then did she turn her body, leading her kin as they turned and submerged into the ocean.

Tang San took a deep breath and took the Trident from Ye Lin's hand.

She raised her head and looked toward the direction of Sea God Hall.

Although from his current position, his line of sight was blocked,

the aura of Sea God Hall resonated with him from afar,

as if it were calling out to her.

Sea God Island, Sea God Mountain, Sea God Hall, I, Tang San, have returned.

The final trial is about to arrive,

Sea God, I will definitely truly possess your power,

manifest your majesty once again in this world,

and make this world submit beneath my feet!

Just as everyone was preparing to set off,

suddenly,

Ye Lin frowned slightly and looked up toward the forest ahead.

In the forest, one figure after another slowly walked out.

A total of seven people emerged from the forest,

and they were none other than the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo who had originally served as the examiners for everyone,

and who each guarded one of the Sea God Seven Sacred Pillars.

They could be said to be the backbone of the entire Sea God Island,

and under the leadership of Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi,

this force was enough to contend with any Spirit Masters on the continent.

Hailong Douluo walked at the very front, with the other six following behind him.

As they slowly approached, looking at the expressions on their faces,

Tang San could not help but frown slightly,

because he discovered that the complexions of these seven Title Douluo were not very good,

their brows slightly furrowed, and their expressions carrying a faint trace of sorrow.

Could it be that something happened on Sea God Island?

Tang San was startled and hurried to meet them,

"Seniors, what is this?"

Hailong Douluo braced himself and squeezed out a smile,

"We learned that you and your friends have returned, so we came specifically to welcome you."

"Lord Bo Saixi is waiting for you at Sea God Hall."

Judging by the meaning of Hailong Douluo's words, it would be strange if nothing had happened on Sea God Island,

but what was with the expressions on their faces?

"Senior Hailong, did something happen on the island? Why do your faces look so grim?"

Hailong Douluo felt a jolt in his heart, quickly composed himself, and said respectfully:

"Nothing is wrong, it is just that after waiting for so many years,"

"our guardianship mission is finally coming to an end with your inheritance, so we are just feeling a bit melancholy."

Tang San suddenly realized; that was it! Once he succeeded to the position of the Sea God, these seven Douluo would no longer need to guard the Sacred Pillars.

Their responsibilities could be considered lifted.

Having silently dedicated themselves to guarding the Sacred Pillars for so many years, it had become a habit,

so it was no wonder they felt unaccustomed and reluctant now that they were idle.

But Tang San would not let them stay idle.

"Rest assured, seniors; after I become the Sea God, you will still have new tasks."

Hailong Douluo smiled and nodded.

"My Lord, please follow us to the Sea God Hall."

As he spoke,

he had already turned around.

When his gaze met those of the other Sea God Seven Sacred Pillars Guardian Douluo, his smile vanished,

and a deep sense of sorrow flashed through his eyes.

Everyone was a powerful Spirit Master; they set off, and within half an hour, they saw Sea God Mountain once again.

Sea God Mountain looked no different than before.

The Sea God's Light on Sea God Mountain was still as moving as ever.

All the scenery was exactly the same as when they had left.

The clear air and beautiful scenery were refreshing to the mind and spirit.

Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi stood quietly at the summit, wearing a long blue dress, looking down the mountain.

At the same time, there was another beautiful figure at the summit.

Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu had also been waiting for a long time.

And when everyone arrived at the summit and saw Bo Saixi, they could not help but be greatly shocked.

The previous Bo Saixi had been a beautiful woman who looked to be about thirty years old.

She possessed a moving temperament that was noble, elegant, gentle, and reserved,

giving people a feeling of being high and unreachable.

Her beauty was soul-stirring yet did not allow one to harbor any wild thoughts.

At this moment, Bo Saixi was still in her red robes, still holding that golden Scepter,

and even her deep, azure eyes, like the ocean, had not changed.

However,

her face was no longer youthful.

With wrinkled skin and white hair, her aged face looked like a candle flickering in the wind.

Even though she stood before the Sea God Hall,

there was still a feeling that she stood at the peak, beyond anyone's reach.

Yet the change in her appearance caused a great shock in everyone's hearts.

"Sister Lin, and everyone, we have finally met again."

Xiao Wu smiled and ran toward Ye Lin.

The two hugged tightly, then separated.

Bo Saixi's gaze swept over everyone's faces with kindness.

"Very strange, isn't it? Actually, it's nothing; appearance has long since lost all meaning to me."

"The current danger is no longer something I can contend with."

"Prepare to accept the Sea God's Inheritance."

"Helping you complete the Sea God's Inheritance sooner will allow me to be released sooner."

Tang San nodded silently and followed behind Bo Saixi into the Sea God Hall.

Bo Saixi said, "You all should come in as well."

"The Sea God's energy is too vast; when you inherit the divinity, a large amount of energy will overflow."

"To avoid destroying this place, your help will not only absorb the overflowing energy but also protect this place from being damaged."

The Sea God Seven Sacred Pillars Guardian Douluo all changed color almost simultaneously.

Haimonv wanted to say something, but was stopped by Hailong Douluo.

Hailong Douluo looked at the other Seven Sacred Pillars Guardian Douluo with a sharp gaze. The other six then slowly lowered their heads.

Led by Hailong Douluo, they knelt on one knee simultaneously and said in a deep voice, "Respectfully send off, My Lord."

The heavy doors of the Sea God Hall closed again as the Shrek Seven Devils entered, cutting off everything inside from the outside.

Haimonv could no longer suppress the agitation in her heart. "Why, why must the divinity be inherited? Lady Bo Saixi is already pitiful enough..."

Hailong Douluo sighed and said, "Haimonv, do not speak nonsense. Have you forgotten our mission?"

"Our mission is to wait for the arrival of the new generation of Sea God."

"Being able to witness this scene with our own eyes, we are already much luckier than the generations of Seven Sacred Pillars Guardian Douluo before us."

Haimonv choked with sobs, "But, the Sea God's Inheritance requires the life of Lady Bo Saixi!"

Haimonv looked at the tightly closed doors and said chokingly, "Have you all forgotten?"

"We have what we have today because of how much help Lady Bo Saixi gave us."

"Without her, there would be no us. But now we have to watch her die."

"I can't stand it."

Haima Douluo sighed and said, "You have all seen the Lady's condition."

"She feels she can no longer serve as a good servant of the Sea God."

"Perhaps, this is the best outcome for her."

"Alright, be quiet now."

"Let us wait for the arrival of the Sea God. And let us pray for Lady Bo Saixi."

Hailong Douluo slowly walked to the very front, knelt on one knee, placed his hands in a posture before his chest, and ceased speaking.

The other six Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo, including Haimonv who was filled with unwillingness in her heart, also lined up and knelt behind Hailong Douluo.

On the faces of the seven people, all revealed a look of deep sorrow, praying silently.

Inside Sea God Hall.

After the great doors closed, this place instantly turned into pitch-black darkness.

Although it was not the first time coming here, the feeling this time was completely different.

The gazes of Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, and Zhu Zhuqing were all focused on Tang San.

He was about to undergo the inheritance of a god!

Once completed, he would become a true god.

That was a god!

A true god.

Everyone's breathing unconsciously became rapid, and the gazes looking at Tang San also became somewhat subtle.

Among them, the most prominent emotions were excitement and envy.

Suddenly, the Shrek Six Monsters all clearly felt a special energy fluctuation permeating around their bodies, and on their foreheads,

the magic patterns that had appeared before manifested once again.

Whether it was the black five-pointed star or the six-pointed star,

as well as the red seven-pointed star and eight-pointed star on Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu.

The light on the foreheads of the six people lit up almost simultaneously.

Adding a touch of brilliance to this dark world.

As if a special force was pulling them,

the six people rose into the air simultaneously, each leaping onto a platform.

Only Ye Lin's trial had nothing to do with this,

that was a trial from Zulong, merely borrowing this place.

The low voice of Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi echoed within Sea God Hall,

"Are you all prepared?"

"Yes, we are prepared."

The moment that would decide their future destiny had finally arrived.

If one were to say they were not nervous at this time, that would be impossible.

But at a time like this, they no longer had any path of retreat. A firm belief, a belief in certain success, filled their hearts.

Everyone brought out their best state.

Bo Saixi slowly raised the golden Scepter in her hand,

the three-meter-long Scepter was carved all over with magic patterns, and at the head of the staff was a diamond-shaped protrusion resembling a spear.

Five inches below the tip of that spear,

a diamond-shaped golden gemstone was embedded. When Bo Saixi raised it high,

a bright golden light ignited instantly from that diamond gemstone. In an instant, it illuminated the entire Sea God Hall.

"Stand in the center of the platforms."

Bo Saixi said indifferently.

At this very moment, a flush of red appeared on her face, and in this brief instant,

she seemed to have become young again, bursting with vitality.

The sorrow in her eyes had vanished, and in its place was intense excitement.

Bo Saixi looked up to the sky and cried out,

"Waiting for a hundred years, this moment has finally arrived. Oh, great Sea God!"

"Your servant is finally able to complete the task you entrusted."

A faint golden color began to rise from beneath Bo Saixi's feet; at this moment, she herself seemed to have entered a special state.

That pale golden light was precisely Bo Saixi's soul power.

This was also the first time the Shrek Seven Devils had seen this Sea God Douluo truly display her power.

Under the rendering of that pale golden light, Bo Saixi's hair fluttered without wind, and under the reflection of the surging golden light,

one after another, Spirit Rings were released from her body.

Each Spirit Ring was covered with a layer of pale golden luster.

Among all nine Spirit Rings, the lowest level was of the Ten-Thousand-Year Level.

This was the strength of the High Priest who guarded Sea God Island, the Sea God Douluo.

Without a doubt, the Top-tier Eight Trials she had experienced back then had brought her enormous benefits.

This powerhouse, who was invincible across the entire continent as long as she was within the scope of the ocean, was currently using her power to ignite the sacred ceremony.

The brilliant golden light,

the increasingly powerful golden light completely illuminated every corner of Sea God Hall.

The magic patterns that Tang San had lit up when he pulled out the Sea God Trident were now shining again under the effect of the golden light released by Bo Saixi.

The sacred aura caused the distracting thoughts in everyone's hearts to be completely stripped away.

Although this was Tang San's inheritance of a god, being able to witness this scene was also extremely important for the other six people.

Only by truly experiencing this baptism of Divine Power could they possibly reach such a level in the future.

Ye Lin watched Bo Saixi silently and could not help but shake her head gently.

This is both advantageous and disadvantageous.

Choosing to be a servant grants powerful strength,

but there is also the possibility of being used for a Sacrifice at any time.

After all, one is merely a servant raised by those above.

The Sea God can raise many.

To put it nicely, it is called a servant; to put it bluntly, it is just raising a dog.

One will be tethered by a dog leash for a lifetime; once an attempt is made to break free, the leash will immediately tighten until the dog begins to obey, otherwise, it will strangle the dog to death.

A faint light flickered, and the expression on Tang San's face became very calm.

She was silently waiting for the arrival of that final moment.

With a flash of her figure, Bo Saixi's body had already changed position.

Moving from standing side-by-side with Tang San to in front of him,

she stood facing him.

At this moment, even Bo Saixi's eyes had turned golden.

The nine Spirit Rings on her body expanded simultaneously,

increasing to a diameter of over three meters.

Tang San only felt a wave of warm energy sweep across his body,

and her body was already enveloped within Bo Saixi's nine Spirit Rings.

Nine Spirit Rings tinged with pale gold enveloped both people at the same time.

This strange spectacle was the first time the Shrek Seven Devils had ever seen it.

The massive energy fluctuations remained very gentle.

It was just that the illuminated Sea God Hall had already become incomparably dazzling.
