The Black-level assessment signifies the birth of a future guardian of the Holy Pillars, something she needs to take seriously.
But what does the top seven exams mean?
Poseidon knew it better than anyone else!
This means that as long as the girl in front of him can complete all the tests, she will replace him and become the next High Priest of Poseidon Island!
Become the sea god's representative on earth!
How is this possible?!
Poseidon's mind was in turmoil.
She steadied herself and forced herself to regain the dignity befitting a high priest.
But deep within those azure eyes, there was no longer any calm; they were filled with astonishment and confusion.
On the other side, Sea Dragon Douluo was completely dumbfounded.
His mouth was agape, his expression shifting from shock to blankness, and finally settling into a blank, devout look.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin did not speak, but the hand that had been resting on the hilt of his sword tightened slightly at this moment.
He could sense that the energy contained in that red pillar of light had surpassed his comprehension; it was a kind of... divine pressure.
It was a level higher than any killing god aura he had ever sensed!
A glint of light flashed in Bibi Dong's phoenix eyes.
Amidst the shock and bewilderment, only Ning Liu wore a knowing smile.
He stood with his hands behind his back, looking calm and composed.
In the original novel, after Ning Rongrong absorbed the immortal herb "Qiluo Tulip," her martial soul evolved, and when she accepted the Sea God's test, she triggered the top-level Seven Trials.
Xiao Wu, now a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, has also consumed many 100,000-year-old immortal herbs, so it's normal for her to trigger the top-level seventh trial.
only……
Ning Liu raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Seven tests?
Why only seven tests?
Before setting off, he had clearly handed the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, which he had "borrowed" from Tang San, to Xiao Wu.
The true identity of that thing is the token left behind by the sea god—the Heart of the Sea God!
Logically speaking, the chosen one who bears the heart of the sea god, when undergoing trials, should be triggering...
It should be the Nine Trials of Poseidon!
That was the examination for the officially designated successor to the divine throne!
Could something have gone wrong somewhere?
Ning Liu's gaze fell on Xiao Wu in the pillar of light.
She had now fully adapted to the light, and her small body stood straight.
The sacred and warm energy enveloped her, bringing her no pain but instead making her feel incredibly comfortable, with her soul power leaping joyfully within her.
...
The realm of gods.
The clouds and mist are ethereal, and divine light emanates from them.
Inside a magnificent blue temple, there are no glittering decorations, only the purest blue crystal, exuding the scent of the ocean.
A middle-aged man sat on the throne in the temple.
He is the master of this temple, a first-class deity who once roamed the seas and now holds the power over the oceans—the sea god.
At this moment, a huge water curtain floated in front of the sea god, clearly reflecting everything that was happening on the sea god's island.
As the crimson beam of light shot into the sky, the sea god's usually placid face finally showed a deep furrow in his brow.
His gaze did not linger on the distraught Poseidon, nor did he pay attention to the mainland Soul Masters who looked like country bumpkins. Instead, he fixed his gaze on Xiao Wu in the pillar of light, and on the Vast Ocean Universe Cover within her body.
"The Heart of Poseidon..."
The sea god muttered to himself, his voice carrying a clear hint of confusion and bewilderment.
"Why did the divine artifact I left behind fall into the hands of a 100,000-year-old soul beast?"
As a god, he could see through Xiao Wu's true form at a glance.
The realm of gods is governed by ironclad rules set by the Council of Gods.
The most important of these is that soul beasts are not allowed to inherit godhood or ascend to the god realm.
This is to maintain the balance of the entire Douluo Star ecosystem and the God Realm order; it is a law that even a first-level god like him must abide by.
However, the Heart of the Sea God chose this 100,000-year-old Soft-Boned Rabbit.
He could sense that this little rabbit had a pure heart, abundant fortune, and exceptional talent. If it were human, it would be a suitable candidate to inherit his divine position.
But she is a soul beast.
Within the water curtain, upon detecting the aura of the Heart of the Sea God, the Light of the Sea God instinctively sought to unleash the highest level of trial.
"well……"
The sea god on the throne let out a long sigh.
He raised his hand and flicked his finger at the water curtain.
A beam of azure divine power, invisible to mortals, traversed endless time and space, landing precisely on the divine light that was about to take shape.
Thus, the top-level Nine Trials, which should have shocked the entire divine realm, had two layers of divine light forcibly removed.
Ultimately, it descended upon Poseidon Island in the form of the "Seven Trials of the Top Level".
"Never mind."
Poseidon withdrew his hand, leaned back on his throne, rubbed his temples, and showed a hint of helplessness on his face.
The ironclad laws of the divine realm cannot be defied.
He cannot allow a soul beast to inherit his divine position, as this would attract the intervention of the God Realm Committee and could even implicate him.
The top nine trials are prepared for the next Sea God; it's absolutely impossible.
Even the top eight exams are not acceptable.
By passing the eight highest tests, one can wield the Scepter of the Sea God, become the Sea God's agent on Earth, and be qualified to mobilize a portion of the Sea God's divine power.
Making a soul beast your agent? That's also a provocation against the rules of the God Realm.
Therefore, he had no choice but to settle for second best and lower the bar to the top seven tests.
He passed seven tests and became the next Grand Priest, but he was not qualified to mobilize the power of the Sea God!
This was the biggest favor he could offer this lucky person chosen by the Heart of Poseidon.
"only……"
Poseidon's gaze shifted from the bewildered Xiao Wu to the young man standing with his hands behind his back and a smile on his lips.
"Who...is this little guy?"
In his divine perception, this young man named Ning Liu was shrouded in a strange mist, which even he could not see through completely.
