The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 50: Enable squad voice chat, secretly chatter.

"You should beg us." Xing emerged from the sea, looking at Poseidon with disdain.

Poseidon's eyebrows twitched slightly. As the High Priestess, she was solemn and dignified. No one had ever dared to be so frivolous and presumptuous in front of her before, and for a moment she did not know how to deal with it.

They were too embarrassed to ask, even though the sea god had given a divine decree.

"Don't listen to her nonsense." March 7th shoved a block of ice into Xing's mouth and asked Poseidon, "Can we leave Poseidon Island whenever we want after we get there?"

"Okay, but you still have to accept the assessment."

“No problem. Sister, let’s go,” said March 7th.

“Follow me, I am Poseidon, the High Priestess of Poseidon Island,” Poseidon introduced herself.

"My name is March 7th, and they are my companions," March 7th introduced them one by one.

Not long after March 7th, the ice in the farthest part of the city began to melt.

Meng Huaifeng didn't even have time to practice treading water anymore; he hurriedly climbed onto the ice and chased after him.

If we don't keep up, we'll really only be able to swim.

“They wouldn’t let us on the island before, but now they’ve suddenly changed their attitude. There’s definitely something wrong.” Meng Huaifeng quietly activated the team voice chat, using his first soul skill, Mind Communication.

"Arrogant at first, then obsequious; it's laughable." Xing crossed her arms, a faint disdain on her small face.

"Huh? Could it be that she's trying to lure us into a trap and then suddenly attack us?" March 7 wondered to himself, glancing cautiously at Poseidon walking ahead.

"That shouldn't be the case. Isn't she the High Priestess? Only the Sea God could change her mind. It's probably that old Deng has taken a liking to one of us, and wants to give us a divine trial, then pass on the divine position and run away." With the original plot as a basis, Meng Huaifeng made a reasonable guess.

"Divine Trials? That sounds familiar." Xing scratched his head. "Right, I think a similar voice popped into my head before, something about the Nine Trials of Destruction."

The voice came during her fight with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. She didn't pay attention to it and forgot about it after the fight.

"You passed the divine test. Those gods really have good judgment. What was the first test?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

"It seems to be about killing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but I ignored it," Xing said.

"Ignoring it is the right thing to do. It is said that the divine position is bound to the divine realm of this world. Once you accept the divine position, you cannot leave and must wait for a successor." Meng Huaifeng agreed with Xing's approach.

"Accepting the divine position means we can't leave? That won't do! Why don't we leave and not take the test?" March 7th started to back out.

"Don't be afraid. Who said that accepting the assessment means you have to complete it? We can just deliberately fail the assessment," Xing said.

“Xing is right. Then we won’t leave,” March 7th agreed.

"Um, aren't you considering accepting a divine position?" Zhu Zhuqing asked tentatively.

“Our journey is to the stars and the sea, how can we be confined to a small space? Moreover, the lifespan of gods is infinite. If the divine position is really a good thing, why would those gods pass it on to others?” Meng Huaifeng said.

Meng Huaifeng felt he was getting too big for his britches. He was just a lowly, low-level Destiny Walker, yet he looked down on the divine position.

All I can say is that his future is incredibly bright. As long as he keeps forging ahead, he's guaranteed to become a top-tier entrepreneur.

"Okay." Zhu Zhuqing shut her mouth weakly. They were all knowledgeable and had extraordinary vision. It was better not to interrupt with her meager knowledge.

Poseidon Island has seven sacred pillars and seven cities, each with about a thousand people. Although they are called cities, in terms of population, they are actually equivalent to a large village. However, all the villagers are Soul Masters, and the buildings are just as magnificent as the main city.

At the center of Poseidon Island stands a mountain called Poseidon Mountain, and the Temple of Poseidon, dedicated to the sea god, is located at the summit of Poseidon Mountain.

Poseidon led the four to the nearest sacred pillar.

“This is the Seahorse Sacred Pillar. Come forward one by one,” Poseidon said. A middle-aged man who looked imposing stood to the side, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating. He was probably the Seahorse Douluo guarding this sacred pillar.

On March 7th, he came to Poseidon's side, and Poseidon closed her eyes in prayer, while blue light gathered in her hands.

After the holy pillar was completely covered in blue light, Poseidon pointed towards March 7.

A blue beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping March 7's body. The color of the beam began to change, from blue to white, then rapidly to yellow, purple, black, red, and finally to gold!
The golden light gradually faded, eventually leaving a golden trident mark on March 7's forehead.

The Seahorse Douluo beside him stared in disbelief, while Poseidon sighed inwardly, "Just as I thought."

"what is this?"

March 7th touched the mark on his head.

“These are the Nine Trials of the Sea God. Once you complete the trials, you can inherit the Sea God’s position and become the new Sea God,” Poseidon explained.

"It's me?" March 7th's eyes widened: "I don't want to! I don't want to be the Sea God! Take the test back!"

"This is the will of the Sea God. I am merely his servant and have no right to interfere." Poseidon said expressionlessly, her disdainful look on March 7th was somewhat offensive to the Sea God. She should uphold the Sea God's dignity.

But March 7th is also the successor chosen by the sea god.

"Huh? Why is that?" March 7th asked with a cat-like face.

"Try to remove this divine test mark first. If you can't, we'll go find Danheng. Danheng will definitely be fine. Removing it before the first mission deadline should be no problem at all." Meng Huaifeng kept the team voice chat active, reminding March 7 in his mind.

On March 7th, an attempt was made to use imaginary energy to remove the mark, which was easily shaken.

"It seems so. I'll keep it for now and get rid of it when we leave." March 7th was relieved.

"Wait, why is there such a cool mark in March? I also passed the Divine Test, but I didn't? Damn it, are they looking down on me?" Xing said indignantly.

"Uh, could it be related to God's personality and preferences?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

Poseidon noticed the changing expressions on their faces and frowned slightly. Were they communicating in secret?

"Alright, next person, let's take the test." Poseidon interrupted the four-person team voice chat.

“You’ve already said that March is the successor to the Sea God, so it’s okay for us, as her companions, not to participate, right?” Meng Huaifeng asked.

“Even if one is the successor to the Sea God, one cannot break the rules of Sea God Island before becoming the true Sea God,” Poseidon said coldly.

"Alright then." Meng Huaifeng shrugged helplessly.

I felt a little embarrassed to accept their assessment and then run away without completing it, so I decided to simply not accept it.

If they still disagree, then don't blame them for running away halfway.

Anyway, Poseidon had personally promised that she could leave Poseidon Island at any time.

We've accepted the assessment, but there's no set rule on whether we should complete it or not.

Perhaps in the minds of these people on Poseidon Island, failing the test means death, and they deliberately fail the test so that they don't die, which is their skill.

　Hmm, it seems I've slowed down again without realizing it, and the pace has gone slower. But I should be able to finish it before it's officially released. Douluo Continent is, after all, a long novel, so its length is definitely longer than the worlds depicted in movies or similar films.

　　Please forgive me if you don't like Douluo Continent. I originally thought Douluo Continent was quite popular because there were so many Douluo Continent fanfics on Qidian, so I started with Douluo Continent. I didn't expect the reviews to be so bad. I miscalculated.

　　Perhaps I'm trapped in an information cocoon. After reading a few Douluo Continent fanfictions, they keep recommending Douluo Continent fanfictions to me, which led me to misjudge the situation.
