In the video.
"Greetings, Grand Priest." The Sea Witch bowed slightly and saluted to Bo Saixi, saying, "I failed to fulfill the instructions of the Lord of the Sea. Please punish me, Grand Priest."
Bo Saixi smiled slightly, and the sea seemed to be rippled by her smile. "It's not your fault. This is also the first time I've seen such a situation."
Her eyes moved around and fixed on the golden trident mark on Neptune's forehead. "Young man, I have waited for more than a hundred years, and finally I see you in my waning years."
"Wait for me? A test from the Sea God?"
Neptune looked at the suddenly appearing Bo Saixi and asked doubtfully: "Does this mean that as long as I pass the test, I can inherit the throne of the Sea God?"
"That's right."
Bo Saixi did not hide anything and said directly: "According to the original process, you need to pass nine life and death tests and find the heart of the sea god far away on the mainland. It will take hundreds of years to pass the test. But now the sea has been hit by a natural disaster, and there are heavy casualties. In an emergency, His Majesty the Sea God cannot bear to see the sea creatures suffer, so he made an exception and reduced your nine tests to one."
[It seems that this Sea God is quite flexible…]
[Nine tests turned into one test, this is a blatant backdoor! ]
[It used to take hundreds of years to complete all the tests, but now it may not take long to pass them and become a god. ]
[I really don't know whether he is lucky or unlucky…]
A series of barrages passed by.
At the same time, the divine world.
At this time, the Five God Kings were watching the live video through the divine thoughts left on the five priests who had sneaked into Douluo Continent. They saw in the future video that the Sea God had blatantly opened a backdoor for the inheritor.
Suddenly, the Asura God who maintained the order of the God Realm could not help but snorted coldly: "Humph, this Sea God actually dared to disregard the rules set by the God Realm and turned the nine tests of the God's throne inheritance into one test. It seems that he needs to be properly disciplined!"
"You can't say that." The goddess of life, who has the best temper among the five gods, began to plead for the god of the sea.
"The Sea God did this for a reason. I think we can give him some leniency. After all, he did this not for his own selfish desires, but for all the creatures in the ocean."
"Life is right." The God of Destruction, as the partner of the Goddess of Life, naturally expressed his support when he saw his wife pleading.
Seeing the two God Kings pleading for mercy, the other two God Kings did not object. In the end, Asura God just snorted coldly and said nothing more. After all, many gods have violated the rules of the God Realm. Even the five God Kings often violated the rules they set, but no one could punish them.
Now that two God Kings have interceded for the Sea God, the matter will naturally end. There is no need to argue with the two God Kings over such a small matter. After all, this matter can be big or small, and whether to convict the Sea God depends entirely on the mood of the God King.
Return video.
After listening to what Bo Saixi said, Neptune closed his eyes and checked the content of the first test of the Sea God in his mind. He opened his eyes and said, "My test content is – pull out the trident of the Sea God!"
"Come with me."
Hearing the content of his test, Bo Saixi did not show any surprise, but turned around, took off, and flew away.
Seeing this, Neptune naturally flew up and followed closely behind.
The two flew very fast. In a short time, they crossed most of the island and arrived at the core area of the Sea God Island – the Sea God Temple!
As we got closer, we could see that the huge stone pillars in front of the Temple of the Sea were carved with all kinds of patterns, including mermaids, whales, sea snakes, corals… basically they were all sea soul beasts, or beings related to the sea.
The two finally landed In front of the palace gate.
Bo Saixi led the way into the Temple of the Sea God, followed closely by Neptune. They found that it was pitch black inside, with not a single window in the entire hall, and naturally there was no light from outside. The hall seemed very empty, and no buildings were seen.
This hall can be described as quaint or simple.
[No way, this is all the Sea God Temple is? ]
[Isn't it too simple? ]
[It is magnificent, but why is there no decoration? ]
[Is the Sea God very poor? ]
[How dare you! Land spirit masters, don't use your ignorance to guess the intentions of His Majesty the Sea God! ]
[There is a reason why the Sea God Temple was built like this. ]
[…]
The barrage of comments passed through the live broadcast room. Many people who had been looking forward to it did not expect that there was no decoration in the magnificent Temple of the Sea God, and it was so dark.
Bo Saixi and Neptune walked into the Temple of the Sea God one after the other.
There were no extra buildings in this hall, only eight platforms, seven small platforms, surrounding a huge platform in the middle in a circular shape.
There are three platforms in total, which are several meters higher than the seven platforms on the periphery. Due to the darkness in the hall, one can only vaguely see that in the center of the top platform, there is something like a long stick standing up?
"That is the Sea God's Trident."
Bo Saixi looked at the "long stick" on the central platform and continued, "Before you take the test, let me tell you the story of the ocean. Do you know how big the ocean is?"
Neptune shook his head. This question was beyond his knowledge.
Bo Saixi began to tell the history of the sea: "The area of the sea is several times larger than that of the land. And in this vast sea, there are far more creatures living in the deep sea than on land. If these creatures in the sea lose their restraints and continue to wage war, then it will be even more chaotic than on land."
"Many, many years ago, the sea was in such chaos. As the saying goes, heroes emerge in troubled times. Among the many sea soul masters, there appeared a brilliant genius. He relied on his own strength and spent his entire life to travel to every corner of the sea. Holding a trident, he conquered one race after another in the sea with his powerful strength and unparalleled personal charm.
It took him one thousand and one years to finally unify the ocean and he was revered as the Sea God by all sea tribes. He created an immortal legend.
[One thousand and one years? Oh my god, can a person live that long? ]
[Then the Sea God might be a soul beast, right? ]
[presumptuous!]
[ignorance.]
[When a person's strength reaches the Titled Douluo level, he or she can live for about 300 years. After that, every time you advance a level, you can live an extra 100 years. In other words, when you reach level 99, you can live for more than a thousand years! ]
[At that time, the Sea God relied on his level 99 strength to conquer the sea, which took him a thousand years to finally become a god! ]
[Is that so? I've learned a lot! This kind of secret knowledge is not taught in the academy.]
[Wait, that's not right! If reaching the level of Title Douluo gives you a lifespan of 300 years, then why do the only Title Douluo left today seem to be at most over 100 years old? There aren't even any who are 200 years old. If a Title Douluo can live at least 300 years, then where did all those Title Douluos go?]
[So this is fake, right? 300 years, that's impossible.]
[Bullshit! That's because you are ignorant! ]
[…]
Many people in the barrage area raised questions and gave examples. Many people also refuted it, and both sides held their own opinions.
