Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 456, Section 475: Poseidon's Troubles
"How dare you! You despise the Sea God! You deserve to die!" the Soul Saint said angrily.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of scythe light, and the Soul Saint's head was severed.

His head fell to the child's feet, and his body followed suit.

"I'm not suggesting you, I'm ordering you to become my Hei Nu." Tang Xiao flashed his scythe, casually tossing aside the Sea Soul Master's filthy dog ​​blood, and then walked step by step toward the child.

"you you."

The child retreated in terror, then collapsed to the ground, crying out, "The Sea God will not let you continental soul masters get away with this!"

"Sea God, heh." Tang Xiao sneered contemptuously.

If Rakshasa hadn't told Tang Xiao that the Sea God in the God Realm was gone, Tang Xiao wouldn't have dared to be so reckless. And now—

Tang Xiao reached out and grabbed the boy by the neck, lifting him up. He said, "Do you think the Sea God will save you? How about we make a bet? I'll strangle you to death and see if the Sea God will lend a helping hand to his devout believer before you die!"

After saying that, Tang Xiao pinched hard.

"You, uh, ahhhhh." The boy struggled with difficulty, his eyes revealing a desire to live.

"It seems the sea god you worship is nothing special after all." Tang Xiao grinned maliciously, pinched hard, and the boy's braid instantly died.

A black aura emanated from Tang Xiao's palm, enveloping the boy and staining his skin black. Tang Xiao then released his grip, and the angry boy fell down, kneeling before Tang Xiao. On the other side, the headless Soul Saint also transformed into an angry form, stood up, and knelt before Tang Xiao.

"Meet the master."

"Now, I have a question for you all: how does the Sea God compare to me, Chief Tang Xiao?" Tang Xiao asked.

“Master, the Sea God is not even worth a hair of yours; he is nothing but a piece of trash,” the Soul Saint said respectfully.

Tang Xiao nodded and said, "You're right, Poseidon is a piece of trash. Now, it's time to get rid of this piece of trash. My Hei Nu fleet will attack Poseidon Island, and you will be the guide to lead us there."

"Yes, Master."

Poseidon Island

Poseidon was in a state of turmoil because the sea god had not looked down upon her for a long time. She summoned her own martial soul and looked at the sea god's martial soul. Poseidon could clearly feel the emptiness within the martial soul, which was no longer what it used to be.

She couldn't help but recall her childhood, when she went out to sea to fish with her parents. The sea had been clear and sunny just moments before, but soon dark clouds gathered, followed by a fierce wind and towering waves. Their boat was capsized in the waves, her father sank to the bottom of the sea, and she struggled helplessly against the raging waves.

Then, from within the dark clouds, a divine force of sea blue descended from the sky, transforming into a majestic figure wielding a trident, and rescued him from the giant waves. He was the Sea God.

Poseidon begged the sea god to save her father. The sea god used his immense power to pull her father ashore, but he had already drowned. The sea god told her that he deeply regretted her father's death, but that gods could not interfere with the cycle of life and death.

After burying her father, Poseidon became a devout follower of the sea god and went through many hardships to reach the island of the sea god. She obtained the eighth level of the Red Trial and took over the power from the previous high priest of the sea god, becoming the high priest of the sea god.

This Sea God Martial Soul was a divine gift bestowed upon her by the Sea God during her childhood.

As a fervent believer, Poseidon could feel the benevolent gaze of the sea god upon her martial spirit. Whether she was praying, going out to sea, changing clothes, or bathing, everything she did was under the watchful eye of this benevolent gaze.

Ah, to receive the attention of one's own deity, what an honor this is for a fanatic!

Thus, under the gaze of the gods, Poseidon spent her childhood as a child, and eventually grew into a stunningly beautiful high priestess of Poseidon Island. Because of the gods' attention, Poseidon demanded strict standards of herself every day, handling the affairs of Poseidon Island perfectly to satisfy the great sea god.

Decades ago, two Soul Masters came to the mainland: Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen. Both of them reached the same level as themselves.

Qian Daoliu was a kindred spirit like himself, both being high-ranking officials and high priests of the gods, with cultivation reaching the level of a level 99 Limit Douluo, and both possessing divinely bestowed martial souls.

However, when she came into contact with Sendoru, Poseidon inexplicably felt sorry for him.

Both the Angel Martial Soul and the Sea God Martial Soul are divinely bestowed martial souls, representing the Angel God and the Sea God respectively.

However, Poseidon could not detect any spiritual gaze in Qian Daoliu's martial soul; it was just an empty martial soul. In contrast, her own Sea God martial soul could cast the gaze of the Sea God upon her at all times.

It must be pitiful to not receive the attention of the god you believe in. Poseidon had no other feelings for Sendou Ryu, only this last bit of pity and superiority.

Poseidon knew that the sea god would cast his divine gaze upon her at certain times, and in order to gain more favor from the sea god, Poseidon would cooperate with the great sea god.

However, in recent years, Poseidon could clearly feel that her Sea God Martial Soul had changed. Whenever she took a bath, releasing her Sea God Martial Soul would grant her more divine gazes. However, her Sea God Martial Soul had become as empty and hollow as Qian Daoliu's, just a pure Martial Soul.

At first, Poseidon didn't take it to heart. She thought it was just that the sea god was busy and hadn't cast his divine gaze upon her. However, after that, Poseidon never felt the gaze of the gods again.

This caused her immense pain. She couldn't help but recall the fate of the previous High Priest of the Sea God. That High Priest was once a peerless beauty. In his childhood, he encountered the demonic orca clan on the sea. In his helpless moment, he was saved by the Sea God, and thus became a believer in the Sea God. He was bestowed with a martial spirit by the Sea God and became a fanatical follower of the Sea God.

However, as her time drew to a close, she gradually lost her unparalleled beauty and aged terribly. The gaze of the sea god ceased to linger on her. It was at that moment that the sea god rescued her from helplessness amidst the towering waves and watched her grow from a little girl into a woman, eventually replacing the previous high priestess. The high priestess soon died in despair.

Could it be that, like the previous high priest, I have been weary of the sea god? Poseidon looked at her still stunningly beautiful self in the mirror and felt a little insecure.

The fate of the previous high priest made Poseidon wonder if, in some corner of the world, the great sea god had saved another little girl who had fallen into the water, then bestowed upon her the Sea God Martial Soul, watched over her growth like a loving father, and eventually replaced her?
