"Although I'm a little annoyed, I have to admit that this kid is not only handsome but also exceptionally talented. He's very likely to become the new God King in the future. He's a high-potential stock. You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you miss out on him."
The sudden disturbance caught Poseidon off guard and strained her back.
Poseidon's usually cool and aloof expression turned visibly red.
"I have dedicated my life to Lord Sea God, and I have no energy left to think about anything else."
"Give me a break!" the phantom of the sea god retorted irritably. "He wants to start his own business, yet he says he'll dedicate his life to me."
Just as Poseidon was about to explain, the phantom of the sea god waved his hand first.
"Forget it, you've done enough for Poseidon Island."
"Besides, I'm about to retire, so no matter what happens in the future, consider this a small reward for your hard work over the years."
"As for what I just said, you can decide for yourself!"
"gone!"
After leaving these words, the phantom of the sea god suddenly flashed with a dazzling light.
When the light dimmed, the phantom had disappeared.
"Congratulations, Lord Poseidon!"
After bowing again, Poseidon slowly straightened up to face Lin Chuan.
Perhaps because of what that shameless old sea god had just mentioned, Poseidon's gaze towards Lin Chuan now held a hint of unease.
"Thank you."
A gentle voice entered my ears.
Lin Chuan smiled and said, "It was just a spontaneous remark. I didn't expect Senior Sea God to actually agree."
Hearing the obviously perfunctory words, Poseidon didn't know what to say.
You've directly threatened me!
To be honest, Poseidon was quite startled when she heard Lin Chuan's words, fearing that the sea god would be angered by them.
Lin Chuan is probably the first person to threaten a god.
Seemingly sensing Poseidon's thoughts, Lin Chuan chuckled inwardly.
What seemed like a threat was actually just a joke.
In fact, even if Lin Chuan hadn't done that, the Sea God would most likely have agreed to cancel the sacrifice process.
Although the God Realm did not take any action when the Abyss Plane invaded, it does not mean that they were unaware of the situation.
Lin Chuan's resolution of the Abyss Plane issue must have been known to the God Realm as well.
Lin Chuan's strength is already enough to make the God Realm take him seriously.
In addition, the sea god had to give face to the goddess of life to some extent.
Of course, the most important point is that even if the Sea God himself wanted to retire, Shui Bing'er had a very close relationship with Lin Chuan.
Finally, they found a suitable candidate for the position of Sea God, and it seemed that the succession was just one step away. The Sea God himself could also leave the divine realm and travel to other planes.
But if they really fall out, they might have to stay in the realm of gods for a very long time.
In summary, accepting the offer is undoubtedly the optimal solution.
Moreover, Poseidon had indeed managed the island of Poseidon very well, and Poseidon wouldn't mind making an exception.
In fact, there has never been a case of a high priest offering sacrifices on Poseidon Island in history.
After all, no one has ever inherited the position of the Sea God before, so even if the process of abolishing it is abandoned, it is not a big deal.
Poseidon was not the kind of person who followed the rules.
Compared to freedom, everything else is utterly insignificant.
“Congratulations, Senior Poseidon. You have broken free from the shackles of the High Priest of Poseidon Island and can now pursue godhood.”
Lin Chuan smiled and congratulated him.
Poseidon was delighted, but shook his head on the surface, "It's not as easy as you say. Let alone whether I can find the place where the gods will test me, it's not certain whether the gods will even take a liking to me after I find it."
"That's not how it works. After all, Senior Poseidon was able to reach level 99 at the age of fifty, and he also possessed a god-level martial soul like the Sea God. His strength and potential are extraordinary."
"Although it has been neglected for so long, obtaining the inheritance of a first-level god may be difficult, but it is more than enough to become a third-level god, and even a second-level god is not impossible."
Lin Chuan was not joking when he said this.
The talents of the three Limit Douluo are not to be underestimated; they are all qualified to become gods.
Unfortunately, two of them, as guardians, were unable to reach level 100 and become gods, while the other had the opportunity but lacked the strength.
If Tang Chen hadn't wanted to inherit the Asura God, but had only inherited a first-level or second-level god, he would have definitely become a god.
"Then I'll take your good wishes!"
Poseidon smiled and regained much of his confidence.
Become a god!
What was once a distant dream has now become a reality.
Thinking of this, Poseidon's heart suddenly burned with excitement.
"Now that the matter has been resolved, I shall take my leave."
After giving a brief greeting, Lin Chuan was about to leave.
As he turned around, something suddenly occurred to him, and he couldn't help but stop and ask curiously.
"By the way, there's something I'd like to ask Senior Poseidon."
"What is it?" Poseidon asked curiously.
Lin Chuan didn't mince words and spoke frankly, "I heard from a rumor that Senior Poseidon seems to have had a romantic relationship with Tang Chen of the Haotian Sect. I wonder if it's true or not?"
Upon hearing this, Poseidon's expression grew even stranger.
"Who told you all this?"
I've only heard a little about it.
Poseidon gave a cold laugh, "It must have been that old geezer, Sendou Ryu, who told you, right?"
"I never expected that this old guy would continue to spread rumors even on his deathbed. It's a good thing he's dead, otherwise I would have chased him all the way to the Spirit Hall and fought him!"
These words immediately made Lin Chuan raise an eyebrow slightly.
"So, what Poseidon-senpai means is..."
“Nonsense!” Poseidon said without hesitation. “Back then, Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu came to Poseidon Island together to challenge it, and I defeated them by taking advantage of the terrain.”
"They did pursue me together, but they had both been married before, so I rejected them both."
"In order to get rid of his entanglement, I refused on the grounds that a Soul Master should focus on cultivation rather than love. I didn't expect Tang Chen to misunderstand and think that I would only be with him after he became a god."
"But by sheer coincidence, the two of them left together, and I was finally able to have some peace and quiet."
"Decades have passed. If Tang Chen had found the place of the gods' assessment, he would probably have become a god by now. The fact that there is no news now means he has failed!"
Is that really how it is?!
Lin Chuan was quite surprised.
However, this is also quite reasonable.
After all, reality is not a novel; it can't be exactly the same as the memories in your mind.
It's as if there's no memory of the invasion of the Abyss Plane.
"I see. Then I must have been mistaken."
"I'll be going now, senior Poseidon, please wait."
After figuring out the specifics of the relationship, Lin Chuan immediately turned and left.
Only Poseidon stood at the entrance to the island of Poseidon, watching his departing figure, her beautiful eyes slightly shimmering.
Why would Lin Chuan suddenly ask this question?
"And now she's suddenly concerned about whether I had a romantic relationship with Tang Chen back then, could it be..."
For some unknown reason, Poseidon's cheeks visibly turned red.
Her heart began to pound.
