In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 502 Dialogue with Poseidon

Wang Zhao's eyes held a slight smile, as if he hadn't been the one who casually killed a Title Douluo, sending chills down the spines of everyone present.

The remaining six Holy Pillar Guardian Douluos and High Priest Poseidon, who were still suspended in mid-air, had sorrowful eyes. This was because of the sudden fall of Sea Spear Douluo, because of the large number of people kneeling on Seagod Island, and even more so because their faith had collapsed.

The scene became quiet for a moment.

A moment later, Wang Zhao looked at the still majestic sea god statue in a square on Seagod Island, then turned and headed towards the temple behind the statue.

That place was the place of retreat for Poseidon, the high priest of the sea god, and also the repository of the power of the sea god's faith.

Watching Wang Zhao's figure walk towards the sacred palace, Poseidon and the others opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but ultimately couldn't utter a word.

Everything has settled down...

Just then, Wang Zhao's voice came from afar again.

"Poseidon, come in."

"..."

Poseidon's expression changed slightly, while the expressions of the people around him became somewhat strange.

Poseidon paused for a moment, then sighed softly, gathering his inner soul power, preparing to self-destruct and die for the god at any time, before slowly heading off.

Several Holy Pillar Guardian Douluos stretched out their hands, but feeling the oppressive gaze of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King from behind, they could only helplessly lower them.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King looked down at the scene on Seagod Island. The pleasure he had imagined was not much. In the end, he still wanted to take revenge on the Seagod.

The true form of the sea god, Poseidon.

Its only mortal enemy was Him, and it had no interest in His mere wisp of divine thought.

This is also why it didn't compete with its master to destroy the sea god's divine thoughts this time.

……

Inside the Temple of Neptune.

Poseidon slowly walked in and saw Wang Zhao sitting on his usual throne.

Standing in the center of the hall, facing Wang Zhao, her imposing presence paled in comparison to his.

"Your Majesty..."

She thought about it and decided to address Wang Zhao in the same way.

"Why don't you keep calling it a demon?"

Wang Zhao asked with a playful smile.

Poseidon shook his head slightly, sighed, and instead of responding to his teasing, asked in return:

"Alas, Your Majesty had a personal grudge against the Sea God. Now that the grudge has been settled, what should be done with Sea God Island?"

Wang Zhao simply said, "I come from the Spirit Hall. From now on, Seagod Island will belong to the Spirit Hall."

impossible!

Poseidon instinctively wanted to refute Wang Zhao's words, but couldn't bring herself to say it.

Since Wang Zhao explicitly stated that he came from the Spirit Hall, it means that the Spirit Hall is now an extraordinary force with a god-level expert in charge, and it is not unreasonable for Seagod Island to be subordinate to the Spirit Hall.

But, but...

Thinking of the grudges between the Spirit Hall and Seagod Island, as well as her past with Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, Poseidon's expression changed several times.

Regardless, she truly found it hard to accept that Seagod Island had been incorporated into the Spirit Hall!

Wang Zhao seemed to have read her mind, raised an eyebrow slightly, and said with amusement:

"I heard that you, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, and Tang Chen, the previous sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, once made a pact: you would date whoever became a god first. Is that true?"

"What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Poseidon's expression changed again.

It's important to understand that both she and Qian Daoliu were destined to become high-ranking priests and divine servants, with no hope of becoming gods in their lifetime. So, when she said those words, she was originally trying to politely refuse Qian Daoliu and hint at Tang Chen. However, she never expected that Tang Chen would be such a blockhead who wouldn't understand. In the end, the honest Qian Daoliu, who saw through everything, gracefully withdrew, while Tang Chen, full of enthusiasm, went off to search for divine inheritances all over the world.

She felt somewhat helpless and resentful about this, but she also harbored some expectations.

She hoped that the exceptionally talented Tang Chen would become a god, and then come to Poseidon Island in a grand and glorious ceremony to marry her.

But who knew that Tang Chen would keep her waiting like this until now...

Bringing her thoughts back to where they had been, Poseidon focused her gaze on Wang Zhao.

What exactly is he trying to say?

Wang Zhao smiled gently:

"He's about to become a god."

"Who?"

"My family's chief deity."

"!!!"

Poseidon's pupils trembled violently.

"No, that's impossible!"

"He clearly..."

"Shouldn't he be like you?"

Wang Zhao smiled, pointed to himself, and then pointed to the sky.

"The world has changed. Human Soul Masters now have the possibility of breaking through to level 100 on their own. You should be one of the people in the world who knows this best."

"But I've only just reached the threshold of level 100."

"But he's already in seclusion. He should be level 100 when he comes out."

"...What gives him the right?"

Poseidon hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but ask the question.

"Because I'm in the Spirit Hall!"

Wang Zhao said calmly and arrogantly.

"besides……"

"Back then, you three were considered peerless masters. You didn't really think Tang Chen was the strongest, did you?"

"What are you trying to say now?"

"You know perfectly well what it means that my Grand Elder, who was invincible in the sky, went to fight Tang Chen on the ground back then. He was the strongest of the three of you back then, so how could his talent be lacking? With the support of favorable timing and location, what's wrong with him approaching level 100?"

"..."

Poseidon was silent for a moment, then spoke in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Do you want me to fulfill my promise from back then and marry Qian Daoliu, thus becoming a link between the Spirit Hall and Seagod Island?"

"I didn't say that."

Wang Zhao shook his head.

Poseidon was, after all, a peerless powerhouse, and he had no malicious intention to crush her pride.

"So what do you mean?"

Poseidon was puzzled again.

"Qian Daoliu is an elder I greatly respect. I'm only saying this to vindicate him and also to show you the true strength of my Spirit Hall. Incidentally, there are at least two others in the Spirit Hall currently attempting to break through to the God level. The reason I've called you in for a private chat is simply to recruit you, the long-established Sea God Douluo."

Was he just trying to recruit me by chatting with me privately?

You value it that much?

When you first arrived at Poseidon Island, you didn't take me seriously at all...

A hint of self-mockery flashed in Poseidon's eyes.

"I……"

Do you want to become a god?

Wang Zhao suddenly said.

"..."

"Level 100 is not only within your reach, but it's also a very promising future for you."

"Don't you want to take that step and truly witness that divine scenery for yourself?"

Poseidon pursed her lips.

To say she didn't want to become a god is utter nonsense.

If she hadn't long known that her limit in this life was merely a level 99 divine servant, her pride wouldn't have been so keen to place her hopes on Tang Chen. In her heart, the desire to become a god outweighed her love.
