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

Chapter 200 Tide God Envoy
Above the sky!

The solemn and magnificent sound of the heavens, carrying the vastness and profundity of the ocean, once again resounded throughout the world.

[Douluo Continent Bloodline Inheritance Ranking, Third Place: Sea God Bloodline (Direct Descendant of a Deity)]

【Bloodline Origin】: The direct lineage of the Sea God, a first-level deity in the God Realm, contains part of the Sea God's authority over the laws of the ocean, purification, and protection. It is one of the most complete divine bloodlines existing in the Douluo Continent and is deeply bound to the origin of the ocean.

[Currently prominent successor: Poseidon (High Priest of Seagod Island, Level 99 Limit Douluo, Guardian of the Seagod's Position).]

[Reason for inclusion: The bloodline originates from the first-level deity, the Sea God, a direct lineage of the deity, possessing a supreme rank and a complete inheritance system. Furthermore, it resonates deeply with the ocean's origin on Douluo Star, granting it near-invincible power in the marine environment. However, this bloodline's power is significantly weakened when manifesting on land, and the conditions for its inheritance are extremely demanding, requiring nine trials to fully awaken. Considering rank, complete inheritance, and environmental dependence, it ranks third.]

[Rewards for making the list]

1. Divine Blood Sublimation: Poseidon's bloodline purity is permanently increased by 30%, her affinity with the ocean is greatly enhanced, and her combat power is increased by an additional 20% in the marine environment.

2. Favor of the Sea God: Poseidon obtains the opportunity to become a priestess of the Sea God. With this opportunity, she can condense the position of "Tide God Envoy" (a third-level deity), start her exclusive divine test, and ascend to the divine realm after success, becoming a subordinate god of the Sea God and escaping her fate of sacrifice.

3. Divine Skill Grant: Rewards a complete Sea God Divine Skill - Sea God's Descent (summons a portion of the Sea God's power to possess you for a short period, boosting your combat strength and granting immunity to all attacks below the God level for the duration).

4. Seagod Island Blessing: All residents of Seagod Island and the guardians of the Seven Sacred Pillars will have their cultivation speed increased by 20% and their success rate in breaking through bottlenecks increased by 20% over the next three years.

……

The words fell!

The entire Douluo Continent was once again in an uproar!

"Third place! Sea God's bloodline! As expected, it's also a first-level divine inheritance!"

"Poseidon can become a god too! The messenger of the tides! Also a third-level deity!"

"Blessed by Seagod Island, the martial soul quality of all Sea Soul Masters has been upgraded by one level. Seagod Island is about to rise!"

"The Sea God descends... summoning a portion of the Sea God's power to possess you, this divine skill is too overpowered!"

Countless eyes were focused on the direction of Poseidon Island.

……

On Poseidon Island.

Poseidon felt the blue beam of light descending from the sky and the intense surge of energy within his blood.

For the first time, an expression of barely suppressed excitement appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

A tidal pattern slowly appeared in the center of her forehead.

That was the initial mark of the Tide God's test!

"Heavenly Canopy... thank you for your favor..."

Poseidon knelt on one knee, bowed deeply towards the sky, and tears welled in her eyes.

She finally... saw the hope of escaping her sacrificial fate and becoming an independent god!

Hailong Douluo and the others knelt down to congratulate him, saying, "Congratulations, Grand Elder! Congratulations, Grand Elder!"

Poseidon slowly rose, looked up at the sky, and her eyes were filled with an unprecedented determination.

"Next up are the final two."

She whispered to herself.

"The bloodline of the Silver Dragon King... and that unknown, mysterious bloodline."

Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, everyone's heart was in their throat.

……

Wuhun Palace, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong gazed at the sky and saw Poseidon receive information about the opportunity to become the Tide God's Messenger.

A cold, sharp glint flashed in his purple eyes.

"Poseidon, a thousand streams..."

She murmured the two names, each word like a poisoned ice needle.

"Very well, of the three Limit Douluos, two have the opportunity to become gods, while I have been put at a disadvantage."

The Ghost Douluo behind her spoke in a ghostly, hoarse voice: "Your Holiness, although Qian Daoliu and Poseidon have obtained the opportunity to become gods, they are only third-level gods."

"Your Rakshasa God is a first-level god. Once you complete your divine test, even if the two of them join forces, they will be no match for you."

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan quickly chimed in, "Ghostly is right! The difference in strength between a first-level god and a third-level god is like an insurmountable chasm! As long as His Holiness the Pope can successfully complete the divine test..."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong remained silent, lost in thought.

...Haotian Sect, at the mountain peak.

Tang Chen stood with his hands behind his back, gazing in the direction of Poseidon Island. A heartfelt sense of satisfaction appeared in his weathered eyes.

“Ceci…you finally have a chance to escape your fate.”

He murmured to himself, a rare, gentle smile appearing on his lips.

As a former admirer and a comrade-in-arms, Tang Chen understood better than anyone the heavy fate that Poseidon bore as the High Priestess of the Sea God.

They were sacrificed to the inheritors of the Sea God's legacy, their souls scattered and their spirits dispersed.

Now we see Poseidon, who has obtained the opportunity to become the god of the tides and is able to become a god independently.

He was genuinely happy.

But this sense of relief was quickly replaced by a sense of gloom.

"Qian Daoliu and Poseidon have both been given the opportunity to participate in the Divine Trial again..."

"Of the three Limit Douluos from back then, only I remain!"

A hint of melancholy flashed in Tang Chen's eyes.

"Where...is my path?"

He was once the inheritor of the Asura God Test, possessing extraordinary talent and hailed as a once-in-a-century genius of the Haotian Sect.

Ultimately, he failed the Asura God Test. Not only did he fail to become a god, but he was also parasitized and controlled by the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, living in a daze for decades.

Although he was saved by Tianmu, regained control of the Haotian Sect, and recovered his sanity!

But the path to godhood has been severed.

"Almost all the known divine successions in the Douluo Continent have a master or successor."

Tang Chen looked up at the sky and sighed.

"Am I, Tang Chen, really destined to be trapped at level ninety-nine, watching helplessly as my old friends transcend one by one, while I can only slowly decay in this mortal world?"

An unprecedented sense of confusion and resentment welled up in my heart.

But he was, after all, Tang Chen, a peerless powerhouse who single-handedly propelled the Haotian Sect to become the number one sect in the world.

After a brief moment of despondency, his fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes.

"No, I, Tang Chen, have always forged my own path!"

He clenched his fist, and the phantom of the Haotian Hammer faintly appeared behind him.

"Even without the inheritance of a divine position, I will forge my own path to godhood through my own strength!"

"Ceci, wait for me... I will definitely catch up with you and transcend the mortal world together!"

……

Qibao Glazed Sect, meeting hall.

Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chenxin, and Bone Douluo Gurong sat facing each other, the atmosphere so heavy it was almost palpable.

"Qian Daoliu is about to become a god!"

Ning Fengzhi rubbed his temples, his usually gentle and refined face now filled with worry.

"This is an unprecedented crisis for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Chen Xin stood with his sword in his arms, his expression cold and stern: "God-level experts are indeed beyond our ability to contend with. Even with Feng Zhi's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as an aid, Gu Rong and I, working together, can at most only contend with Limit Douluo."

"Facing a true god... there is no chance of victory."

Gu Rong said in a deep voice, "The key issue is not that Qian Daoliu alone becomes a god, but that the overall strength of the Spirit Hall will increase dramatically as a result."

"All Angel Martial Soul Masters will have their quality upgraded by one level, and their cultivation speed will increase over the next three years... This means that in just a few years, the Spirit Hall's high-end combat power will completely crush all forces on the continent."

Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath: "We must find a way to break this deadlock as soon as possible."

"Breaking?"

Chen Xin frowned. "How do we break this deadlock? Beidou Academy has the strength to fight against god-level experts, but their stance is unclear."

"Our human sects are probably not special in their eyes."

Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi sighed upon hearing this.

Chen Xin is right; the current situation seems unsolvable.
