Chapter 342: Descent of the Sea God
The Douluo Continent—or rather, the planet of Douluo—did not consist solely of the Douluo Continent.
Apart from Douluo Continent, there was another landmass of comparable size.
It was called the Sun Moon Continent.
The movement of continental plates was a natural phenomenon.
However, for two seemingly endless continents to merge within just ten thousand years—without the intervention of deities pushing things behind the scenes—was practically impossible.
Ten thousand years may seem like a long time, but in terms of continental drift, it was barely anything at all.
"Yes, the other continent."
"It's called the Sun Moon Continent. Unlike the developmental path of Douluo Continent, although the Sun Moon Continent also nurtures soul masters, it does not emphasize the level of soul power as much. Instead, its research on soul tools is tens of thousands of years ahead of Douluo Continent!"
Kong's statement wasn't just empty talk.
Even after the two continents had merged, the native inhabitants of Douluo Continent still looked down on soul tools!
They were nearly defeated by the Sun Moon Continent. If not for dozens of Title Douluo launching a surprise attack on the capital, the Sun Moon Continent would have surely won.
And yet, even after four to five thousand years, the native people of Douluo Continent still scorned soul tools...
Even with the knowledge that soul tools were incredibly powerful—even within the most prestigious Shrek Academy—there remained a lack of appreciation for them.
Such behavior was truly baffling.
"Soul tools?"
Everyone was stunned. There had once been methods of crafting soul tools on Douluo Continent too, but unfortunately, both the techniques and the soul engineers seemed to have vanished overnight!
Could it be that those soul engineers banded together and all went to this so-called Sun Moon Continent?
In fact, that was quite close to the truth.
"Yes. After having seen enough of the sights of Douluo Continent, with the strength you both possess, why not visit the Sun Moon Continent and see what it has to offer?" Kong said with a smile.
Sending these two to the Sun Moon Continent—who knew what kind of change it would bring to the locals?
After all, both of them were Rank 99 Peerless Douluo.
And they both wielded divine power!
One could say they were half-god level beings.
Upon hearing this, Poseidon and Tang Chen were delighted—especially Tang Chen, who had always been an adventurer at heart. The mysterious Sun Moon Continent intrigued him greatly.
Suddenly, as if something occurred to him, Tang Chen did not immediately agree. Instead, he turned to Poseidon and asked, "Xixi, what do you think?"
Seeing this, Poseidon smiled and said, "Chen, don't I already know how you think? Let's go have a look!"
"Lord of Thunder, Tang Chen and I are willing to go to the Sun Moon Continent. However, the sea is vast—even as the High Priestess of the Sea God, I cannot pinpoint its direction..."
Before Poseidon could finish, Kong waved his hand and said, "If the two of you are willing to go, I can send you part of the way. In the future, if you wish to return to Sea God Island, I..."
"I'd better give you two a map instead!"
Who knew when they might decide to return? He couldn't possibly keep an eye on Tang Chen and Poseidon all the time.
"Thank you, Lord of Thunder!"
Poseidon and Tang Chen cupped their hands toward Kong in gratitude.
"We'll head to the Sun Moon Continent after the new Sea God descends!"
They were in no rush. To witness the birth of a god was an honor in itself.
Maybe...
Maybe they might have a chance to become gods in the future too?
Unlike the original story, Poseidon abandoned his usual mischief and didn't project how Yu Yuanzhen underwent his divine trial.
Time passed. After nearly twelve hours, a deep blue light shot into the sky from the Sea God Temple. Boundless radiance spread out as if celebrating the birth of a new god.
At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen stood clad in sea-blue armor. The dragon wings on his back had also changed in form and color, appearing almost illusory.
After breaking through to godhood, Yu Yuanzhen's divine pressure radiated from Sea God Island, spreading across the entire ocean and Douluo Continent.
At that moment, the powerful beings on the continent sensed something.
In the Hall of the Pope, Bibi Dong's expression turned sour.
"Yu Yuanzhen succeeded!"
Her delicate fists clenched tightly, filled with unwillingness.
She had inherited the legacy of the Rakshasa God for over twenty years, yet still hadn't ascended.
Yu Yuanzhen, on the other hand, received the Sea God's inheritance for less than a year—and he succeeded!
"Rakshasa, is the Sea God's trial really that much easier than yours?"
Bibi Dong couldn't help but ask.
This left the Rakshasa God somewhat speechless.
Even the god herself wasn't sure whether Poseidon had gone easy on him!
Probably, yes. After all, the other side had a God King-level supporter. If Poseidon wanted to curry favor, it was understandable.
"This god is not sure about the specifics of the Sea God's trial. If it was made easier, then the new Sea God's growth will surely be slow."
"Who knows how long it'll take for him to cultivate to the peak of a First-Class God?"
Successors did not immediately gain the full power of their predecessors upon inheriting a divine position.
There would be a transitional phase.
This phase could last a long time...
Unless some special means were used, it would be a lengthy process to reach the previous god's level.
In the Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu looked toward the direction of Sea God Island and murmured, "Tang Chen, Xixi, safe travels."
Qian Daoliu understood—now that a new Sea God had emerged, Tang Chen must have already completed his sacrifice. With Poseidon's character, she would never choose to live on alone.
By now, she had likely perished alongside Tang Chen...
Glancing at his soul tool storage, Qian Daoliu stepped out of the Worship Hall and headed toward the Clear Sky Sect.
With Tang Chen dead, these items could only be entrusted through him now.
He just hoped those young ones would show some wisdom—because if they messed up again, there would be no one left to clean up their mess.
Naturally, Bibi Dong noticed Qian Daoliu's departure, but she paid it no mind.
She slowly walked toward the gate of the Pope's Palace. She was going to undergo her tribulation!
There was no more time to waste—she needed to complete her soul ring configuration first.
"Become a god first, then go after the Asura God's successor!"
Bibi Dong could wait no longer. If the Asura God's successor ascended first, wouldn't all her efforts be wasted?
After becoming a god, it would be much easier to hunt down the opponent.
Kong: "..."
Ah, yeah yeah yeah...
Rumble...
As thunder roared, Bibi Dong's body flickered and, in the blink of an eye, she appeared outside Spirit City.
"Come on!"
Bibi Dong raised her head to the thunderclouds and shouted.
The next moment, a bolt of purple lightning struck her squarely on the head. Her silky hair instantly "exploded!"
"Do you have any idea how much effort I spent to restore my hair to the way it was?!"
Bibi Dong was furious, but the tribulation lightning didn't stop. In fact, it seemed to be intensifying...
