Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 415 I refuse the Sea God's throne, I play with fire!

The Sea Maiden Douluo's martial soul is the Sea Demon Flute.

This destined her to be a master flute player.

There were also unexpected surprises.

at dusk.

The moon shines on the sea, like a bright, clear mirror.

When the sea witch sat on the reef and played her flute.

The tides of the sea seemed to rise and fall with the sound of the flute, and some marine life gathered towards the shore. Schools of bioluminescent fish could be seen swimming around the reefs, dolphins leaping out of the water, and jellyfish bobbing up and down like silver lanterns.

It's a scene that looks like something out of a dreamlike fairyland.

But it actually appeared in front of Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but be immersed in the beautiful scenery.

The sea witch was secretly pleased:
Little brat, I've only used a few tricks, and I've already got you completely bewitched.
Lin Xiao sighed:
"It's a pity that there's no dance involved."

"But thinking about it, it makes sense. How can Poseidon Island compare to the mainland? Sigh, I'm getting homesick..."

The Sea Maiden Douluo's expression froze.

Her mouth was numb from blowing so much, and Lin Xiao still wasn't satisfied?

The Sea Maiden Douluo's eyes immediately turned hostile.

Lin Xiao sighed deeply.

"Alas, the High Priest said that I should treat Poseidon Island as my own home and that he would make me feel at home. But I am an outsider after all, and everyone's enthusiasm is just a facade."

"I still prefer the mainland..."

The Sea Maiden Douluo could no longer tolerate it.

"Alright! Stop targeting me!"

I'll dance for you!

The Sea Maiden Douluo was very unhappy. This brat, she was one of the Seven Sacred Pillars, and he actually wanted her to dance for him?

The high priest doted on him, making it seem as if Lin Xiao was the illegitimate son of the sea god. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became!

However, the High Priest's instructions are paramount, and as long as she is not forced to sleep with the Sea Maiden Douluo, she can still make some concessions.

The sea maiden Douluo danced gracefully on the moonlit reef, her movements so fluid and beautiful, like a mermaid from the sea singing and dancing. It was truly a feast for the eyes and ears, an ultimate enjoyment.

Lin Xiao clapped and cheered.

The Sea Maiden Douluo hadn't danced in a long time, but as she danced, she found that she wasn't actually that resistant. It felt like she was rediscovering past memories. Lin Xiao's amazed applause from the side also added to the emotional impact.

Most importantly, this guy is handsome.

It's quite pleasing to the eye.

Lin Xiao, caught up in the moment, drew his Crimson Sky Sword and began to dance. The sword light and his dance moves complemented each other, and by the end of the night, the Sea Maiden Douluo had developed a slightly more insignificant fondness for Lin Xiao.

Maple Leaf was surprised to find that Lin Xiao's mental aggression had been alleviated.

He had killed thousands in the Killing City before.

Although Lin Xiao was resolute and mentally strong, unlike Tang Chen who was immersed in the desire to kill, or Tang San who couldn't even control his own killing intent, he still had an impact.

A balance between tension and relaxation is the way of both civil and military affairs.

Lin Xiao should take a rest too.

……

Just as Lin Xiao was relaxing.

Poseidon urgently summoned the other six powerful pillars of Poseidon Island. Poseidon conveyed the sea god's decree to the six pillars, preparing to brainstorm ideas.

"How can we persuade Lin Xiao to stay on Seagod Island and become the successor of the Seagod?"

The six powerful pillars were all dumbfounded.

When did the sea god have to beg others to pass on his divine position?
After a long silence.

The Sea Dragon Douluo, the leader of the Seven Great Sacred Pillars, said:

"Why not just be honest with that kid? Tell him he was lucky to be chosen by the gods, a blessing that many people would beg for."

Sea Spear Douluo also said:
"Yes, this kid probably doesn't even know what gods mean. We just need to explain the history of Seagod Island and the greatness of the Seagod. We don't need to say anything; he'll naturally beg the gods to grant him a divine position."

The other Saint Pillar Douluos shared the same view.

Poseidon frowned.

She was skeptical of the opinions of the other Saint Pillar Douluos, but she thought it was worth a try. The Sea Maiden Douluo had the best appearance and the most approachable temperament, so she decided to spend more time with Lin Xiao to see if she could get to know him better.

At this moment, Seahorse Douluo asked, "High Priest, isn't it necessary to obtain the approval of the Heart of the Sea God to initiate the Nine Trials of the Sea God?"

Poseidon did not reply.

The other Pillar Douluos stared speechlessly at Seahorse Douluo.

nonsense.

To gain the approval of the Heart of the Sea God is essentially to be approved by the lingering will of the Sea God within the Heart of the Sea God, and now the Sea God himself has personally issued the decree.

So what if we don't have the Heart of the Sea God?
……

early morning.

Poseidon summoned Lin Xiao to his palace.

"Last night I saw that you and the Sea Maiden Douluo got along quite well, so I didn't disturb you. Lin Xiao, from now on you will live in this palace."

Poseidon took Lin Xiao to see his residence.

It still boasts a luxurious and top-tier configuration.

Afterwards, Poseidon led Lin Xiao to the center of Poseidon Island.

In a place resembling an altar, the white marble bricks are exquisitely carved, and a huge stone statue of the sea god stands in the center, which is very majestic.

Poseidon began to explain the history of Poseidon Island to Lin Xiao. After talking for a while, she talked about the greatness of Poseidon and then asked Lin Xiao a question.

"Lin Xiao, I wish to establish you as the Holy Son of my Seagod Island."

"As long as you agree, you can inherit the Sea God's legacy at any time!"

"From this day forward, you will bear the expectations of all the sea creatures, shoulder the heavy responsibility of restoring peace to the sea, and become a deity worshipped and revered by all the sea creatures!"

Poseidon finally revealed the sea god's purpose.

It was pretty much exactly what Lin Xiao had guessed.

Almost without hesitation.

Lin Xiao resolutely refused.

"No! I do not need the respect and admiration of the myriad races of the sea."

Is this some kind of benefit?

In Lin Xiao's eyes, they were all burdens!
Poseidon didn't expect Lin Xiao to refuse so decisively. You see, she once longed to become the sea god, but ultimately failed.

Lin Xiao's disdain was, in a sense, a defilement of Poseidon's faith and a denial of her obsession.

She was somewhat unhappy.

Even their tone of voice became distant.

"Lin Xiao, you must give me a reason for refusing the position of the Sea God."

Lin Xiao smiled slightly and spoke frankly.

"I have no interest in being a sea god; I play with fire!"

"Moreover, the sea god was also a human who cultivated himself into a god ten thousand years ago. The position of the sea god is just a manifestation of the sea god's power and faith."

"I have my own hands and feet. If I can become a god myself, why should I rely on the power of others?"

"If I become a god, I will be no less than the sea god!"

Upon hearing this, Poseidon's beautiful eyes went blank.

Su Yan Tang Chen was arrogant, and Qian Dao Liu was proud, but now it seems that Lin Xiao's arrogance is far above the two of them. He looks humble, but the arrogance in his bones can't be hidden!
They are mere mortals, yet they disdain even the gods!
From that moment on, a glint of admiration flashed in Poseidon's eyes; she genuinely admired Lin Xiao!

but……

Poseidon's expression changed drastically, but he said coldly:

Do you know whose shadow I see in you?

"Tang Chen!!!"

"You are more arrogant, more proud, and more capable and talented than him! But your ambition is also greater. Right now, the broad road is right in front of you, why don't you take it? Why do you want to go astray later?"

Lin Xiao mimicked Poseidon's expression, his face suddenly changing color.

"How dare you compare Tang Chen to me!"

He looked as if he had suffered a tremendous injustice.

This seems to be an insult to his character!
Poseidon: "..."

The centenarian's heart was suddenly stirred.

Seriously, I'm so angry...
