Douluo: Reincarnation of Leosli, punishing the evildoers

"Tang Chen~"

Upon hearing the name again, Poseidon's body trembled slightly, and he almost dropped the scepter in his hand, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement.

"Tang Chen...do you know where he is?"

Her gaze was fixed on Leosley's face, her previously cold expression now replaced by a complex emotion, as if years of tranquility had been shattered in this moment. Her fingers trembled slightly, and the light at the tip of her scepter flickered, revealing the turmoil in her heart.

Leosley remained expressionless, merely nodding slightly, his voice steady and cold: "I know his whereabouts, and I can tell you. However, the value of this information is something the High Priest surely understands."

Poseidon's robes billowed violently in the sea breeze, and she seemed to have lost her usual calm and composure, leaving only an almost obsessive urgency.

Although she was eager to know about Tang Chen, she couldn't sacrifice the interests of Poseidon Island for her own sake.

In the entire Douluo Continent, Poseidon is perhaps one of the more clear-headed people.

It's merely that he's "relatively clear-headed."

If I weren't thinking clearly, I probably would have just run off with Tang Chen.

As the high priestess of Poseidon Island, she had no choice but to wait for the arrival of the Poseidon's successor, day after day, to fulfill her mission.

This is why she didn't agree to Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen's confessions to her.

She had given Tang Chen a chance, but he was so stubborn that he didn't understand and actually went looking for a way to become a god.

But Poseidon, who was thin-skinned and concerned about his image, couldn't be too blunt for fear of hurting the other person's pride, so he let it go.

After all, becoming a god is no easy feat.

But judging from what this mysterious duke is saying, could it be...?
Did Tang Chen really succeed?

She couldn't believe it.

But now that Leosley has news of Tang Chen, she naturally won't give up.

“Alright, name your terms, but as long as it doesn’t violate the principles of Poseidon Island, I’m willing to make a trade with you.” Poseidon took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

The Heart of Poseidon is important, and so is news of Tang Chen, but if Poseidon really had to choose, she would probably sacrifice the latter.

“My demands will not change.” Leosley’s tone softened, his gaze fixed on Poseidon, still clutching the Heart of the Sea God in his hand, showing no intention of letting go.

"What do you mean, sir?"

Poseidon's eyes flickered, her mind in turmoil. She was unwilling to pay the price easily, yet she couldn't ignore Tang Chen's message and the allure of the Heart of the Sea God.

“The deal with Poseidon Island has always been a matter of absolute certainty.” Poseidon’s expression was also solemn. The tip of the scepter in her hand emitted a faint light, as if echoing her determination.

“Okay.” Leosley nodded slightly, then looked at Siegwen, “Head Nurse, that’s fine.”

"Little White, have them come ashore to unload the cargo," Poseidon said, waving gently into the sea. The Great White Shark in the distance seemed to sense something and turned to swim back towards the ship.

Leosley looked at Poseidon and said in a deep, firm voice, "I hope you will keep your promise."

Poseidon tapped his scepter lightly on the ground, producing a dull sound.

“Of course,” Leosley said, tossing the Heart of Poseidon directly to Poseidon. He wasn’t worried that Poseidon would break her promise.

Poseidon carefully received the Heart of the Sea God, and instantly, a holy light, like the dawn, shone down, as if draping everything around him in a dazzling cloak. A gentle aura enveloped him, and even this peerless Douluo felt an unprecedented clarity, as if he were undergoing a sacred baptism, his soul becoming incomparably pure.

"Poseidon!"

All the crew members on the Sea Eagle bowed down at that moment.

"Light of Poseidon!"

“This is truly the aura of a god!” Poseidon’s heart raced, his gaze fixed firmly on the triangular object suspended in the air, and he bowed deeply in reverence.

Even the great white shark in the sea was wide-eyed and excited.

It was once the mount of the sea god and accompanied Poseidon before he became a god.

How could it not be excited to feel the presence of its former owner?
At this moment, six figures quickly approached this direction.

What did they say?

They all have rather "unique" looks.

One of them even has a fish tail.

Seeing Poseidon kneeling devoutly before a triangular object, the six exchanged glances and then knelt down as well.

The high priests are kneeling, how can the guardians of the sacred pillars not kneel?
When Poseidon stood up, the hardworking Seahorse Douluo Ouya asked with a hint of doubt, "Great Elder, what is this?"

Poseidon put away the Heart of the Sea God and said solemnly, "This is the Heart of the Sea God. Our sacred relic has finally returned."

"Great Elder, what exactly is the wondrous use of this Heart of the Sea God?" Seahorse Douluo couldn't help but ask, his heart filled with curiosity. Even as the guardian of the Sacred Pillar, this was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing as the Heart of the Sea God.

"I have told you before that the position of the Sea God can be inherited. This is not just empty talk, but a real fact." The High Priest smiled slightly, his tone exuding an undeniable majesty.

"To inherit the Sea God's position, two conditions must be met: first, you must possess the Sea God's heart; second, you must pass the Sea God's nine trials. Only when both conditions are met can you inherit the legendary Sea God's position." Her voice echoed across Sea God Island, as if carrying the expectation and determination of a century of waiting.

"Then...this..." Seahorse Douluo was speechless for a moment, his face full of confusion. Eurasia's eyes widened, feeling a sense of unreality. After all, he had never seen the Heart of the Sea God, nor had he ever heard of the Nine Trials of the Sea God. According to the High Priest, if someone in the future could challenge the legendary Nine Trials of the Sea God without the Heart of the Sea God, then they would be unable to inherit the Sea God's position.

This...it's practically a trap! Seahorse Douluo couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Wait a minute, now that I think about it, it's not impossible that the Heart of the Sea God is out there!
As long as the Heart of the Sea God remains unexplored, how can the Sea God find a successor? Even if there are people on Sea God Island who can trigger the Nine Trials of the Sea God, how many are there?
“Eurasia, take our distinguished guests to rest, and then arrange for someone to help unload the cargo.” Poseidon said, glancing at Leosley and the others.

Although Poseidon was eager to know Tang Chen's whereabouts, this was not the place to talk.

What she needs to do now is to settle them in and then find a time to discuss cooperation.

"Great Elder, this gentleman..." Seahorse Douluo looked at Leosley and the others, his expression somewhat hesitant.

Poseidon Island is off-limits to outsiders. Now, not only has this Duke entered, but the High Priest is treating them with great respect. Could there be some special reason for this?

"They are our invited guests."

Eurasia bowed slightly and nodded respectfully: "Yes, High Priest." (End of Chapter)
