Douluo Continent: From the Beginning of My Engagement with Zhu Zhuqing

"It's been a day, hasn't Lord Poseidon cured the high priest yet?"

Around the reef closest to the isolated island, the sea witch jumped out of the water, revealing her slender fish tail, and looked towards the direction of the isolated island with a worried and anxious expression.

"Perhaps it is not easy for Lord Poseidon to prolong his life."

On the reef, Seahorse Douluo's stiff face twitched slightly as he defended himself.

However, Sea Spear Douluo snorted coldly:
"How long are you going to talk about this without really discussing the main point? Such a big thing happened yesterday. Don't you know what happened?"

"That's not the Lord of the Sea performing some tricks, but the inheritance of the throne has been opened again!"

"Lord Dai Yao inherited the throne of Seagod only three years ago. It is impossible for him to start the Seagod inheritance again. What happened on that island concerns Lord Seagod and the future of our entire Seagod Island!"

Seahorse Douluo immediately retorted:

"Then should we rush over immediately?"

"One is the Lord of the Sea, and the other is the Lord High Priest. We have no reason, and no right, to offend them!"

"This matter does concern our Sea God Island, but do you know what happened? Just because of a little worry, you broke into the island. It would be fine if you could find out what happened, but what if you end up making things worse?!"

"Can you bear this responsibility?"

Sea Spear Douluo gritted his teeth slightly at Sea Horse Douluo's gaze, and after a long while, he turned his head away without saying anything more.

Everyone looked at the two of them, with different expressions, some calm, some concerned, some worried, and some confused. Only Sea Dragon Douluo closed his eyes, facing the island, and sat on the ground.

When everyone stopped arguing, Sea Dragon Douluo spoke:

"Have you quarreled enough? How can we interfere with the inheritance of Lord Poseidon?! We are guardians, not caretakers. No matter what happens, we are loyal to Lord Poseidon and will protect the entire Poseidon Island."

"The only thing we can do now is to wait here."

Hearing this, everyone calmed down and the atmosphere on the reef eased a lot.

At this moment, the turbulent sea surface suddenly became calm, like a flat mirror, and two figures came together and floated in the air.

The eyes of the Douluo suddenly widened.

They were very familiar with the two figures. One was the beautiful, noble, young high priest Poseidon, whom they were very familiar with; and the other was Lord Dai Yao, who had just become a god not long ago.

However, the aura of the two was different from what they remembered.

Compared with the past, the former not only looked younger, but also had almost no majesty. He no longer had the mountain-like pressure he had when he was a level 99 Peerless Douluo. Most importantly, the faint sacred aura on his body made them unable to help but bow down in worship!
The golden trident mark between the eyebrows shines even brighter in the sun.

As for the latter, not only did the trident mark between their eyebrows disappear, but the feeling that made them convinced also disappeared.

Everyone looked at each other, not daring to confirm the identities of the two.

Dai Yao smiled and joked:

"Why, everybody? Don't you recognize us? Didn't you all salute me just a day ago?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and knelt on one knee. Sea Dragon Douluo said anxiously:

"Lord Poseidon, it's not us..."

Before he could finish, he was lifted up by a force. Compared with the gentle force yesterday, the force today was more domineering and fierce.

"Haha, you don't have to call me Lord Poseidon. I'm not your Lord Poseidon now. The real Poseidon should be the one next to me."

Dai Yao explained with a smile.

All Douluo looked at Bo Saixi beside Dai Yao, very puzzled.

"Since I became a god, I have never officially returned to Seagod Island. Many people on Seagod Island only know that there is a Seagod, but they don't know what he looks like."

"I, the Sea God, am not doing my job properly."

"Therefore, I took this opportunity to pass the Sea God position to Bo Saixi, which not only extended her life, but also selected a true Sea God for Sea God Island. Of course, there are some other factors involved, which I will not elaborate on."

"I haven't discussed this matter with you all, please understand."

Dai Yao explained patiently.

After the words were spoken, the expressions on everyone's faces became more varied, including surprise, anger, puzzlement, and confusion.

For a living god to pass on his throne to another person, regardless of whether the person meets the requirements or how easy it is to succeed, no one would be willing to give away his chance of eternal life to someone else out of selfishness.

Moreover, Dai Yao's actions inevitably seemed to blaspheme their beliefs.

Even if he was the successor appointed by the previous Sea God

But Bo Saixi was their high priestess after all. Almost all Douluo grew up under her care and they respected her immensely. Even though they had some complaints in their hearts, they could accept her as the successor to the throne.

At this moment, Bo Saixi suddenly stepped forward and said solemnly:
"Although Dai Yao has resigned from the position of Sea God, no one on Sea God Island should neglect him. He is still the Sea God to all of us!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Dai Yao also looked at her with some surprise:
"I am no longer the god of the sea. I cannot assume the responsibility of protecting the entire ocean. You are no longer obliged to respect me. Why are you making things difficult for us?"

Bo Saixi's expression was surprisingly serious. He didn't explain, as if this question didn't need an answer. He just quietly waited for the Douluo's answers.

Seeing this, the Douluo looked at each other and exchanged opinions. Sea Dragon Douluo asked:

"We can still regard Lord Dai Yao as Lord Poseidon, but Lord Bo Saixi, you are the true successor to the throne of Poseidon. How should we address you?"

Bo Saixi did not hesitate, and obviously had a plan in mind, and said seriously:

"As in previous years, you can just call me High Priest."

Everyone no longer had any doubts, and they all knelt on one knee and said in unison:
"Greetings to the Lord Sea God, and to the Lord High Priest."

Bo Saixi nodded in satisfaction, then turned around and signaled Dai Yao to help everyone up. Bo Saixi's move was obviously to let Dai Yao step on her, confirming Dai Yao's unique status in Sea God Island.

Dai Yao would be lying if he said he wasn't touched, but he didn't need Seagod Island's respect, either in form or in substance. Bo Saixi could sacrifice her reputation for him, so he couldn't let her down.

"I understand your intentions, but I am destined not to stay on Poseidon Island. You don't have to damage your own reputation just for my sake."

“Help them up quickly…”

Dai Yao advised with a smile.

"you······"

Poseidon stared at Dai Yao blankly, his heartbeat speeding up slightly.

The reason why she asked everyone to still respect Dai Yao as the God of the Sea was, on the one hand, because Dai Yao was the former God of the Sea, and on the other hand, because of her gratitude and guilt.

Accepting the throne of God meant that she accepted Dai Yao's gift, her own fate, and her own emotions.

She wanted to do something for Dai Yao, but it was obvious that she could do nothing and could only compensate Dai Yao in form.

Of course, this compensation was based on her sacrificing her own reputation.

However, Dai Yao rejected her proposal. Although this matter was small, she felt Dai Yao's respect and consideration.

Moved in his heart, under Dai Yao's encouraging gaze, Poseidon slowly stretched out his hand and used a force to help the Douluo up.

After all the Douluo stood up, they all looked at Dai Yao and Poseidon quietly at the same time, with confusion and trance in their eyes.

Lord Poseidon is their Lord Poseidon?

They were not fools. No matter how good their relationship was, it was impossible for one person to pass on his position to another. Thinking of Dai Yao's style and Master Bo Saixi's appearance, everyone gradually understood.

However, they will keep this speculation deep in their hearts forever.

Anyone can tell which is better, a Lord Poseidon who was passed on the throne of God by his loved ones, and a Lord Poseidon who has been guarding the Temple of Poseidon for an unknown number of years.

······
Divine Council.

The meeting was convened again, and the two God Kings and three law enforcers all sat down. Compared with the ease in the past, there was a bit more solemnity on the face of every God in this meeting.

"In this meeting, I want to know what everyone thinks about the current Sea God secretly passing on the throne."

The God of Kindness spoke first, his tone somewhat serious.

The three law enforcers looked at each other, and then Destruction and Life looked at Shura God at the same time.

Whether it is punishing or rewarding the current Sea God, he must go through trial. As the Shura God who is in charge of judgment, he knows exactly which law of the God Realm the current Sea God has violated.

Asura God's eyes moved, he hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"According to the laws of the divine world, the inheritance of the throne must pass the inheritance test set by the gods before one can inherit the throne."

"However, this law restricts the gods who have ascended to the divine realm. Although Dai Yao has become a god, he is still within the lifespan of a mortal, so he is not restricted by this law."

"That is to say, according to the current laws, the current Sea God will not be punished in any way?"

The Goddess of Life asked doubtfully.

"I'm afraid so."

God Shura nodded.

Then, the three law enforcers looked at the God of Evil one after another.

Dai Yao no longer has a godly position, so if the evil god wants to pass on his throne, this is the best time. Poseidon fought the evil god desperately, but in the end, he still ended up with nothing.

However, the Evil God King's expression did not show any joy, but was instead filled with coldness.

At this moment, the Kind God King spoke solemnly:
“Although the current Sea God did not violate the laws of the God Realm, his act of privately passing on the Godhood has greatly damaged the prestige of the gods in the God Realm.”

"This wind must not rise!"

"Therefore, as a punishment, no god can privately grant him the title of god within a hundred years. If he repents after a hundred years, he can be allowed to ascend to the upper world. After all, several of his wives are first-level gods and have the authority to bring people to the upper world."

When these words came out, all the gods were shocked.

The kind God King is serious about this.

But this method of punishment is clearly aimed at the Evil God King. After all, all the gods in the divine world know that the Evil God King is most optimistic about Dai Yao.

All the gods looked at the God of Evil, but saw only a face that showed neither joy nor sadness. It was obvious that the God of Good had already greeted the God of Evil.

"Dai Yao is going to be punished, so should his wives also be punished?"

God Shura asked.

After the words were spoken, the temple was silent for a moment.

The God of Destruction looked at the God of Shura thoughtfully. This was not what the God of Shura said! It should be what the God of Goodness and the God of Evil said. It reminded him of something, and they were testing them in this way!
However, before the two God Kings could speak, the Goddess of Life shook her head and said:
"This is inappropriate. Punishing Dai Yao is already unreasonable. If we punish his wife as well, it will inevitably lead to criticism and be seen as unfair."

"The crime is Dai Yao's, what is his wife's crime?"

The Asura God looked at the Goddess of Life, somewhat speechless, and signaled Destruction to keep an eye on his wife. Such a good opportunity to test was ruined by the Goddess of Life!
After observing the Good God King and the Evil God King for a while, he slowly said:

"I made a mistake."

Dai Yao's question was finally revealed, and the gods began to discuss other issues concerning the divine world. After a while, when everything was discussed and the gods were about to leave, the evil god suddenly spoke:

"God King Shura, although someone has inherited your throne, it will take a long time for her to ascend to the divine realm."

"How about you work hard for a while and not leave the God Realm?"

God Shura looked deeply at the Evil God King, and became more and more certain of his guess. He nodded and said:
"Yes." (End of chapter)
