Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 199 Poseidon's Envy
In front of the worship hall.

Qian Renxue watched her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, ascend the Stairway to Light and eventually disappear into the Sacred Gate, her eyes filled with complex and indescribable emotions.

Her grandfather, a man who protected the Spirit Hall his entire life, finally obtained the opportunity to become a god.

My foundation was damaged because I failed the eighth exam back then!

Although they have the opportunity to attain a divine position, whether they can successfully pass the test remains unknown.

But more than anything, it felt like a deep sense of gratitude.

"Sky Curtain... thank you."

Qian Renxue silently said in her heart, "Thank you for giving Grandpa a chance to be reborn."

Although he was only a third-level deity, the Light Messenger, it was still a true divine position, a destiny of longevity and transcendence from the mortal world.

"Grandpa, you must succeed!"

Qian Renxue clenched her fists, her golden eyes flashing with determination.

"When you return, the Spirit Hall will usher in a truly glorious era."

She turned and looked in the direction of the Papal Palace, a cold glint in her eyes.

"As for that woman... it will take at least several years for her to complete the Rakshasa God Trial."

"And if Grandpa can become a god as soon as possible... the power of the Spirit Hall will eventually return to the hands of the Angel lineage."

……

Poseidon Island, Poseidon Temple.

Poseidon stood before the temple, gazing up at the fading phantom of the angel in the sky!

Looking again at the still-lingering phantom of the stairway to light in the direction of Wuhun City, an undisguised look of envy appeared on her beautiful face.

"Qian Daoliu, he actually obtained the opportunity to become a god!"

She murmured to herself, her voice tinged with bitterness.

"Both are high priests of the gods, and both have guarded the divine legacy for countless years, waiting for the day they would sacrifice themselves. I never expected that he would be the first to break free from his destiny."

Poseidon knew it better than anyone!

As the high priestess of the sea god, her ultimate fate was to sacrifice herself to begin the path of the sea god's inheritance!
To pave the way for the new sea god.

This is both an honor and a shackle.

Now, however, Qian Daoliu has gained the opportunity to become a god independently. Although he is only a third-level god, it is true freedom and transcendence.

"Big offering."

Sea Dragon Douluo couldn't help but say.

"If the bloodline of the Angel God can receive such a reward, then your bloodline of the Sea God will surely be on the list as well! Perhaps, you too can obtain the opportunity to become a god!"

Seahorse Douluo excitedly added, "Yes, Great Elder! The Sea God is a first-level deity, and the rank of the Sea God's bloodline is definitely no lower than that of the Angel God's bloodline! You can certainly..."

"All right."

Poseidon interrupted them calmly, but her slightly trembling fingers betrayed the turmoil in her heart.

"Let's wait and see what the heavens will say."

She said that, but her heart was already in turmoil.

Is it really...possible?

Can one obtain similar rewards by having the bloodline of the Sea God?
Could she also have the chance to escape the fate of sacrifice and become a god independently?

Once the thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed.

Poseidon looked up at the sky, where the remaining third seat phantom was now emitting a deep blue light—the color of the ocean.

Her heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

……

Beidou Academy
Lu Xiao looked at the changes in the sky, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

"Qian Daoliu, the divine position of the God of Light!"

He whispered to himself.

"It seems that the rewards from the Sky Curtain have not only changed the existing power structure, but also corrected some of the original trajectories of fate."

In the original novel, Qian Daoliu ultimately sacrificed himself for Qian Renxue, his soul scattered.

But now, the heavens have given him the opportunity to become a god independently.

"Is this some kind of compensation? Or is the Sky Curtain intentionally guiding the direction of this world?" His gaze fell on the third seat on the Sky Curtain, which was emitting a blue light.

"Third place should belong to the bloodline of the Sea God, Poseidon. Perhaps he can also obtain a similar opportunity."

"As for second place and first place..."

A hint of curiosity flashed in Lu Xiao's eyes.

"The Silver Dragon King bloodline will definitely have a place, but who will be the last one, an unexpected existence?"

He had a vague feeling that the final ranking of this bloodline inheritance list would probably surprise him greatly.

……

Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong stood on the high terrace, her purple eyes fixed on the direction of the sacrificial hall, where the sacred aura had not yet completely dissipated!

Her exquisite face was covered with cold frost.

"Qian Daoliu, Messenger of Light, Third-Level Deity..."

She repeated the words in a low voice, each word seemingly squeezed out from between her teeth.

"Sky Curtain... what a grand undertaking."

An unprecedented sense of crisis welled up in her heart.

Originally, thanks to the Rakshasa God Trial and the rewards from the Heavenly Curtain, her strength had increased rapidly. She had already secretly suppressed Qian Daoliu and gradually gained control of the Spirit Hall.

Once the final divine test is completed and the Rakshasa Godhood is achieved, the Angel lineage can be completely wiped out, and the Spirit Hall can be brought under complete control.

But now, the rewards from the heavens have given Qian Daoliu the opportunity to become a god!
Although he was only a third-level deity, and only a subordinate god of the Angel God, he was still a true god!

Once Qian Daoliu successfully passes the divine test and attains godhood, all her plans will come to naught!

"Damn it!"

Bibi Dong slammed her fist into the railing, instantly causing cracks to spread across the hard jade railing.

"My Rakshasa God Trial will take at least a few more years to complete... while if Qian Daoliu is lucky, he might become a god within a year!"

"At that time, with a level three deity in charge of the Spirit Hall, all my plans will be completely disrupted!"

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

"Don't panic... there's still a chance."

A hint of seriousness flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.

“Qian Daoliu’s divine test is unlikely to be smooth sailing. Moreover… the rewards from the Heavenly Curtain are not just for him alone.”

Bibi Dong clenched her fist. "As long as I can obtain sufficiently powerful rewards from the subsequent rankings, I can accelerate my divine examination process and achieve the Rakshasa Godhood before Qian Daoliu becomes a god!"

"At that time... even against a third-level deity, I will still have an absolute advantage!"

She turned around and said coldly to Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo behind her, "Pass down the order: from today onwards, the Papal Palace will be on high alert!"

"in addition…"

A cold glint flashed in her eyes. "Closely monitor the movements of the Hall of Offerings, especially the progress of the Thousand Paths Divine Examination. Report any unusual activity immediately."

"Yes! Your Majesty the Pope!"

Ghost and Moon Gate bowed and accepted the order.

Bibi Dong turned her gaze back to the sky, her purple eyes burning with fierce ambition.

"Qian Daoliu... So what if you become a god? This continent will eventually be under my control."

"The Heavenly Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire... and all those forces that refuse to submit will grovel at my feet!"

“And the Beidou Academy…the Soul Beast Clan…” A hint of apprehension flashed in her eyes, “No need to pay them any attention!”

……

Under the watchful eyes of countless people across the continent!

The blue light in the sky finally coalesced completely!
Third place!
"Boom boom boom!"

It burst forth with towering, illusory waves and the vastness of the ocean!

A phantom of a trident, entirely golden, engraved with mysterious runes, and radiating supreme majesty, slowly emerged in the center of the seat!

Around the trident phantom, one can vaguely see the phantom of a deity wearing a crown, holding a scepter, and exuding an aura of majesty as the sea.

It is the sea god!
