Reconstruct the divine body and reappear in the world.
Ning Liu's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
He thought that by presenting this "first love letter from the Sea God," he could at most give the Sea God Island some face, ease the tension between the mainland and the Sea God Island, and incidentally receive a reward.
Who would have thought that what the system returned would be such a hot potato... no, a bargaining chip powerful enough to pry open the sea god!
The soul of A Yue, the woman Poseidon loved most in his life.
Moreover, it's the kind that can be resurrected!
If the sea god finds out...
Ning Liu could almost imagine the insane price that the god who ruled the ocean would pay for this wisp of divine soul.
Let alone a mere Poseidon Island, he probably wouldn't hesitate for a moment even if asked to take out his divine artifact or even his divine position.
So, does that mean I... have the lifeline of the Sea God in my hands?
An absurd yet exciting thought popped into my head.
Does he owe me a favor?
No, this is no longer just a matter of personal favors.
This is truly a blessing!
Ning Liu's breathing became somewhat rapid. He quickly composed himself and shifted his consciousness away from the azure crystal in the system.
However, this thing should absolutely not be shown to others easily.
This is no longer a power he can control at this stage. If it is exposed, it will likely not attract the sea god's gratitude, but rather covetousness and pursuit.
"Making a fortune quietly is the best way."
Ning Liu reminded himself in his heart.
Just as his thoughts were churning, the cold system notification sounded again at an inopportune moment, interrupting his calculations.
[Ding! Overall rating for this auction: Outstanding.]
From the initial hype to the mid-term build-up, and finally the perfect ending, the host single-handedly stirred the emotions of both the Seagod Island and mainland Soul Master factions. The ingenuity of the process and the far-reaching impact far exceeded expectations.
[Comprehensive rewards are being distributed...]
Oh? Far exceeding expectations?
Ning Liu was slightly taken aback.
He suppressed his anticipation and waited quietly.
Inside the auction hall, the divine light had completely dissipated, but the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere still lingered.
Everyone, having recovered from the divine baptism, looked at Poseidon with unprecedented awe.
Ning Fengzhi let out a long sigh of relief, turned to look at Ning Liu, wanting to ask something, but didn't speak.
This nephew has grown to a level that he can only look up to.
"Senior brother..."
Ning Rongrong leaned closer, her little face still showing shock, "Was that... the power of the Sea God Douluo that was released just now?"
"That's amazing! I feel like my soul power has improved a lot!"
Ning Liu smiled at her, about to speak, when the long-awaited reward finally arrived in his mind.
[The comprehensive reward has been successfully distributed!]
[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the divine artifact—the Xuanwu Divine Shield!]
Buzz!
In Ning Liu's consciousness, a pitch-black void was suddenly illuminated.
A tortoise-shell shield, about the size of a millstone and entirely dark gold, floated there silently.
The shield has an extremely ancient design, and its surface is not smooth, but covered with naturally formed, mysterious and intricate patterns.
The crisscrossing patterns give it an air of solidity and invulnerability.
At the center of the shield is a lifelike relief of a dragon's head, a tortoise's body, and a beast's head. The beast's eyes are closed, yet it exudes a powerful aura that can suppress all corners of the world.
【Item Name: Xuanwu Divine Shield】
[Item Rank: Artifact (Defense)]
[Item Description: This shield was created after the ancient divine beast Xuanwu exhausted its lifespan; its tortoise shell fused with all of its soul power and evolved over tens of thousands of years.]
[Item Ability 1: Absolute Barrier.]
[Activating this shield creates a protective barrier that perfectly withstands any attack below the god-level. However, dealing with god-level attacks requires the owner's soul power!]
[Item Ability Two: Xuanwu Soul Suppression.]
This shield also possesses powerful soul defense, capable of withstanding any form of mental attack and illusion-type soul skills. Wearing this shield allows one to constantly nurture their soul, making it resilient and stable.
Defensive artifact!
And it's such a comprehensive defensive artifact!
Then, he thought of something else.
The system reward I just received—the Taixu Divine Sea Map!
The [Tai Xu Divine Sea Map] is an ultimate artifact that, when unfolded, transforms into an absolute defensive barrier capable of withstanding three attacks from a God-King level expert.
This is his trump card, his last resort, which he would never use unless absolutely necessary.
Now, we have the [Mysterious Tortoise Shell Shield].
One focuses on conventional defense, while the other focuses on the ultimate trump card.
One of them can now handle all troubles below the god level, while the other is responsible for dealing with deadly threats above the god level.
These two items together are simply a perfect match!
From today onwards, Ning Liu's survival skills will be elevated to an outrageous level.
"Perfect."
Ning Liu gave his own assessment in his mind.
The gains from this trip to Poseidon Island have far exceeded his expectations.
At this moment, Poseidon on the stage finally made a move.
She carefully kept the letter, which carried her eternal longing, close to her body.
Then, she stood up, and for the first time, her deep blue eyes looked so clearly and solemnly in the direction where Ning Liu was.
They looked at each other from a great distance.
Ning Liu met Poseidon's gaze calmly, nodded slightly, and gave her a friendly smile.
Poseidon nodded slightly, said nothing more, turned around, and quickly disappeared behind the hall.
