Douluo Continent: I, the world's greatest immortal master, have taken Ning Rongrong as my disci

Chapter 247 Poseidon, the God of the Sea, tricks Su Ran into succeeding to the throne.

"High Priest, this is!"

"Such intense Poseidon's light! The Poseidon's light on Poseidon Island is being directed towards the Demon Soul Sea; that is the will of the Poseidon!"

On Poseidon Island, the seven guardian pillars at the seven corners of the island simultaneously emitted a blue-gold radiance, and the Poseidon light surrounding the entire Poseidon Temple seemed to surge wildly as if it had been sensed by something.

The seven guardians, including the sea dragon, seahorse, and sea witch, were immediately astonished by the energy fluctuations of the sea god, as this was the first time in their lives they had ever witnessed such a phenomenon.

High Priest Poseidon also trembled, his deep crimson-blue eyes flickering:

"He's here. The person I've been waiting for has finally appeared."

"Has the Sea God finally made a decision?"

"This is... the content of the fourth test of the Sea God for those children. They successfully passed the third test."

Before Poseidon, a shimmering screen of sea god's light appeared, displaying the exact same content as the fourth test for the students of Peach Blossom Spring, including Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.

As the high priest of Poseidon Island, Poseidon is very familiar with the situation on the island, and the examinees' assessment results will be updated in real time.

"Are the people chosen by the Sea God truly their teachers?"

Seeing the information on the assessment board about accompanying the deep-sea whale king on a fishing trip, Poseidon cleverly connected everything together.

The sea witch couldn't resist taking a closer look:
"Their teacher? It's that peerless young man. The Sea God chose him? The Sea God has good taste!"

"High Priest, do you mean that the legendary sea god Shenkao has descended?"

"No, it wasn't a divine test, but a direct admission that I didn't know what would happen next, or whether there would be any tests. I didn't sense the content of the Nine Trials of the Sea God."

Poseidon gazed intently at the distant sea, the very direction from which the will of the sea god had descended:

"I wonder just how outstanding this man is, that he has earned the Sea God's such recognition and even had His will descend upon him to personally contact him, without ever having set foot on Seagod Island before. Such an event has never happened before since the existence of Seagod Island..."

Is he really that good?

Upon meeting the Sea Witch, one of the Seven Pillars of Poseidon Island, who acted like a crazy fangirl whenever the so-called celestial youth was mentioned, even Poseidon herself became curious about this successor of the celestial being.

……

"That light... enveloped the teacher..."

"What...what's going on? Could it be that the Sea God...has really taken a liking to our teacher?!"

"Our bodies... are divinely bestowed soul rings. Who helped us condense these divinely bestowed soul rings?!"

"Sea God, I sense the will of the Sea God. Little White greets the Sea God!"

At this moment, on the Peach Blossom Spring, Xiao Bai sensed the power of the Sea God and was immediately astonished. He quickly bowed respectfully, and the nine disciples were also full of surprise.

Among them, Gu Qingbo, Qiu Ruoshui, Shen Liuyu and others whose soul power had reached nearly level 70 were also surrounded by a blue light. It was clear that a heaven-reaching power was bestowing upon them their seventh soul ring. If nothing unexpected happened, with their current strength and physique, they would all be able to obtain the power of a hundred thousand years of true body.

Bathed in the most sacred and dazzling blue-gold light, Su Ran slowly stood up and looked up along the blue-gold beam of light. He saw a middle-aged man wearing a white-gold robe, a three-pronged jeweled crown, and an ancient and dignified face, looking at him with admiration.

"It seems you noticed me watching you all along. Child, you're quite remarkable," Su Ran said calmly.
"When I first fished for the deep-sea whale king, I sensed that an invisible eye was watching me."

"At first I thought it was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King making strange movements on the seabed, but it couldn't possibly have such a radiating effect, as if it came from the entire ocean. Only the Sea God could do that."

"Hehe, it seems you are quite clever. No wonder you are a teacher who can teach several disciples with the potential to become gods."

As Su Ran spoke, Poseidon, the god of the sea, smiled and looked directly at Su Ran, saying:
"Let me formally introduce myself. I am Poseidon, the god of the sea, and I left behind the ruins of Poseidon Island. I have chosen you as my successor to the throne. Are you willing to become the new god of the sea?"

Poseidon extended his large, heavy hand to Su Ran, revealing a confident smile.

Accept it, child. With your potential, you will surely be able to bring glory to the position of the Sea God.

Then, I, the god, can legitimately leave that boring divine realm and pursue freedom, hee hee hee!
"I do not want to."

However, the young man remained calm and casually uttered words that greatly surprised Poseidon.

"why?"

Poseidon exclaimed in surprise:

"A divine position can grant you power far exceeding that of a Soul Master."

"You should know that all your disciples' spirit rings have been upgraded to over a thousand years old. The worst spirit rings they have now are purple rings. This is all thanks to the power of the gods. Once you become the Sea God, you can easily upgrade their spirit rings to over ten thousand years old, or even add one hundred thousand years old spirit rings."

"Moreover, once you become a god, you will gain eternal life. No matter how much time has passed, your appearance and figure will remain as dazzling and unparalleled as they are today."

"Otherwise, as time goes by, your handsome appearance will fade and you will grow old, wouldn't that be a pity?"

Poseidon couldn't resist throwing out a sugar-coated bullet. If Poseidon and Tang Chen were here and heard Poseidon say such a thing, they would probably be very shocked.

Back then, they also had the idea of ​​seeking the path to godhood on Poseidon Island, but Poseidon completely ignored them and refused to send down divine tests.

But now, this Sea God has actually descended in spirit, directly showing goodwill, just like abducting a respectable woman, trying to lure Su Ran into inheriting the divine position.

"Going into the sea" is a blatant attempt to trick a respectable spiritual master into doing so.

But Su Ran had no intention of going into business.

Su Ran simply smiled faintly, captivating even the Sea God for a moment, and said:
"If becoming a god is so good, then why did you give up your divine position?"

"Me...me? Huh?"

Su Ran's question stumped the Sea God, who was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Moreover, my martial soul is a peach blossom branch, not a water-type soul master, so the position of the Sea God is not suitable for me."

"That's not right. Your martial soul is a plant-type martial soul. Plant martial souls are naturally compatible with water elements, which is very suitable for my divine position."

"Furthermore, I need to remind you that you have already participated in the Sea God's test. If you are willing to inherit the Sea God's position, then you have gained my approval. All you need to do is fish out and hunt down the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and then pull out the Sea God's Trident, and you will be the new Sea God. But if you are unwilling to inherit the Sea God's position, then you are interfering with the Sea God's test, which is a grave sin."

Seeing that his attempts to deceive him were failing, the sea god's expression became somewhat serious, and he resorted to both kindness and force.
