Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul is actually Bibi Dong.

A few days later, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall each sent a team to discuss in detail the merger of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall.

Su Mo and Bibi Dong represent the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall respectively, and since they genuinely want to merge, everything is negotiable.

Then, a week later, in a grand ceremony, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall officially merged.

From then on, the Spirit Hall became the imperial church, helping the Heaven Dou Empire to manage all the spirit masters on the continent.

To demonstrate the Spirit Hall's sincerity, the Spirit Hall also married the Holy Maiden Hu Liena to Su Mo, thus establishing a marriage alliance and further strengthening the relationship between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall.

At the same time, Zhu Zhuqing also married Su Mo as a maidservant accompanying the Holy Maiden.

Su Mo was somewhat surprised when he found out. It had been agreed that it would only be Hu Liena, so that Hu Liena could be with him openly.

However, after learning that Zhu Zhuqing had agreed, he did not object.

One more is fine!

Su Mo quite liked Zhu Zhuqing; otherwise, he wouldn't have given her guidance in the first place.

It's just that I don't want to see Zhu Zhuqing being ruined by Dai Mubai.

He hadn't intended to take Zhu Zhuqing as his concubine, but now that Zhu Zhuqing didn't object, he wouldn't stand on ceremony.

As the emperor of Tiandou, it's only right that he expands his harem.

With Zhu Zhuqing's looks and figure, she is fully qualified.

After Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing entered the Heavenly Dou harem, Su Mo approached Zhu Zhuqing that very night.

That very night, Su Mo experienced firsthand what it meant to be a woman like a wildcat.

Wild, sexy, yet obedient and compliant.

In short, it's very moisturizing!

……

[The eighth of the Nine Trials of the Sea God has been completed. Reward: 20 Sea God Affinity...]

Then, after Su Mo officially announced the unification of Douluo Continent to the entire continent in the name of the Empire, Su Mo also received feedback that the eighth of the Nine Trials of the Sea God had been completed.

Su Mo's affinity with the Sea God has exceeded one hundred.

The affinity level with Poseidon is both important and unimportant.

To be honest, Su Mo never understood the significance of the Sea God Affinity reward. In any case, no matter how much Sea God Affinity he had, as long as he completed the first eight trials, he could unlock the ninth Sea God trial.

Besides, as long as you complete the first eight tests, your affinity with the Sea God will definitely reach 100. If you don't reach that, it means you failed some of the previous tests and won't be able to make it to the end.

Su Mo guessed that the Sea God probably created the affinity reward because he didn't want to give too many rewards to the test takers in the early stages!

After completing the eighth trial of the Sea God, Su Mo and Ning Rongrong finished their instructions and headed to Sea God Island to prepare for the final trial of the ninth trial.

"Lord Su Mo!"

"Lord Su Mo!"

"..."

When Su Mo arrived at Seagod Island, the guardians of the Holy Pillars all respectfully saluted him, but each of them wore a heavy sorrow on their face.

Su Mo knew why they were acting this way.

Because they all knew that if Su Mo truly initiated the Ninth Trial of the Sea God, their High Priest would have to sacrifice his own life for it.

"Lord Su Mo, the High Priest is already waiting for you!"

Poseidon's bespectacled secretary quickly suppressed her grief and respectfully addressed Su Mo.

"Um!"

Su Mo responded lightly, said nothing more, and walked straight inside.

Su Mo couldn't comfort them either.

After all, Poseidon would definitely have to sacrifice himself to begin the ninth trial of the sea god.

Su Mo could not possibly give up on the Ninth Trial of the Sea God.

Soon, Su Mo arrived inside the Temple of the Sea God and saw Poseidon kneeling before the statue of the Sea God with her back to him.

Upon noticing Su Mo enter, Poseidon slowly stood up and turned to face him.

Despite having anticipated it, Su Mo was still slightly taken aback when he saw Poseidon turn around.

The Poseidon before us was completely different from the stunning beauty she once was. The Poseidon of the past showed no signs of aging, but now she was the complete opposite.

"High Priest..."

Su Mo opened her mouth.

"Don't be sad, I'm just getting older!"

Poseidon smiled faintly and offered a brief explanation.

Su Mo simply didn't believe this explanation. For someone with such strong cultivation, maintaining youth was too easy.

Poseidon was unwilling to maintain this.

"It is my good fortune to witness someone successfully complete the Ninth Trial of the Sea God in my lifetime!"

"Have you come here to begin the Ninth Trial of the Sea God?"

Poseidon then didn't waste any more words and spoke directly to Su Mo.

"Yes, I'm ready!"

Su Mo nodded and confirmed.

"Very well, then I will begin the Ninth Trial of the Sea God for you!"

"But before that, I have one more gift for you!"

Poseidon nodded slightly, then with a slight wave of her scepter, an energy fluctuation appeared in the void, and a blood sword filled with crimson aura was summoned.

As soon as the crimson blood sword was drawn, Su Mo sensed a strong killing intent emanating from the opponent.

Su Mo knew that this was the Asura God's Asura Blood Sword, a divine weapon.

"This was left behind by Tang Chen. It contains all the cultivation he accumulated to complete the Eight Trials of the Asura God. The Killing God Domain you possess is the first test for receiving the Asura God's inheritance!"

"Now, if you wish to relinquish the Sea God's legacy, you can also choose to accept the Asura God's test..."

Poseidon then introduced the Asura Blood Sword to Su Mo, giving him a new option.

At the same time, Poseidon is also giving herself a choice.

If Su Mo chooses the God of Asura, then she won't need to sacrifice herself and can continue to live.

No one wants to die willingly, even though Tang Chen's death saddened her greatly.

However, she did not choose the way out that Tang Chen had given her, which was to use the soul power on the Asura Blood Sword to start the ninth trial of the Sea God and sacrifice herself instead.

If Su Mo chooses to begin the Ninth Trial of the Sea God, then Su Mo will become the new Sea God.

The sea god she has always worshipped is the old sea god. If the sea god becomes Su Mo, then the object of her faith should become Su Mo.

But this wasn't what she wanted. She respected Su Mo very much, but if she had to worship and make offerings to a junior, she'd rather be a sacrifice.

"I still choose the Sea God's legacy. The Sea God has high hopes for me, and I cannot give up halfway!"

Su Mo quickly shifted his gaze from the Asura Blood Sword and looked at Poseidon in response.

It's not that Su Mo doesn't want to inherit the position of the Asura God.

Su Mo knew that inheriting the position of the Asura God was not so simple. If he said he would give up the Sea God's inheritance and choose the Asura God's inheritance, he might be judged as a failure.

Sometimes, the act of making a choice is itself a test.
