In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

"God's test?" Lin Hai murmured to himself.

The trials of the gods were familiar to everyone present. Those who could enter the Hall of Worship were all people trusted by Qian Daoliu, and the divine inheritance was not a particularly mysterious matter.

"What? Haven't you always seemed to disdain God's test? Are you starting to have some ideas now?" Qian Daoliu said, glancing sideways at Lin Hai.

"Not really, I'm just a little curious about what God's tests are like." Although Lin Hai has memories of what God's tests are like, he has never actually experienced them.

Lin Hai and Qian Daoliu made no attempt to conceal their conversation from the other worshippers in the main hall.

The other elders of the Spirit Hall were startled. They seemed to have heard something extraordinary, and it seemed that Lin Hai and the Grand Elder no longer needed to cover it up.

"Big brother, should we..." Qingluan Douluo hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

Lin Hai answered on Qian Daoliu's behalf, "No need for that. This is related to what I'm about to say, and all of you can listen to it."

Although Lin Hai answered, the other elders' gazes remained fixed on Qian Daoliu. They then saw that Qian Daoliu did not refute Lin Hai's words.

At this moment, they also realized that Lin Hai had probably become someone who could talk to Qian Daoliu on the same level.

"Before I achieved what I have today, I also hoped to receive God's legacy and took action for it."

"Hehehe, I knew you weren't being honest. Your colleagues pretend to be indifferent to everything, but you're a real rascal."

"It's rare to see you being honest, young man. I'm happy to listen."

The remaining offerings: "..."

"What exactly happened between the High Priest and this kid?" This question lingered in their minds.

"I'm sure all of you have been paying close attention to Qian Renxue."

"I'm sure you all already know that I work for Qian Renxue."

"I learned from a source that there is a Sea God Island in the sea beyond the mainland, and it is said that the Sea God's legacy is on there."

"You sure know a lot, kid."

"That's right, there is indeed an island in the sea. And its name is indeed Poseidon Island."

"It is said that the Spirit Hall and Seagod Island fought a war back then. I wonder if this is true?" Lin Hai asked.

"Um!"

"After I learned of this news, I left the mainland and went to sea to seek this unknown opportunity."

"So, you left the mainland for this in the first place?" Ninth Elder Chrysanthemum Douluo asked in surprise.

"Yes!"

"However, it seems I was somehow excluded. I did not reach the legendary Sea God Island."

"Rejected? Is it interference from the gods?" Qian Daoliu asked.

"I think so. Anyway, after all these years adrift at sea, I haven't even seen a glimpse of Poseidon Island."

"However, although I did not reach Poseidon Island, I did reach another land."

"Another continent?" Lin Hai's words finally piqued everyone's curiosity.

"It is indeed a different landmass than the one beneath our feet."

"There are also several countries on that continent, but in addition to Soul Masters, those countries also advocate the research of Soul Guidance Devices."

"That's interesting!" said the Demon-Slaying Douluo with great interest.

"To think that there are other lands besides ours!"

"Brother, how about we go take a look over there after we've brought order to this continent?"

"Demon Slayer, stop talking nonsense. Have you forgotten what we said when we entered the Hall of Worship?" Thousand-Pound Douluo interrupted Demon Slayer Douluo.

"We can protect the Spirit Hall, but we cannot get involved in the conflicts on the continent. We must assist the Spirit Hall in maintaining peace on the continent."

"But now the Spirit Hall..."

The Spirit Hall has now become the Spirit Empire.

"Let Xiaoxue handle this matter. Let her decide for herself whether to go or not."

"Well then, I'll be bothering you all for a while for the next period of time," Lin Hai said after briefly easing the tension.

No one in the ancestral hall objected to Lin Hai's arrival.

So Lin Hai stayed in that place.

As for the Heavenly Dou Empire...

Qian Renxue and Lin Hai entrusted it to a group of reliable people.

Lin Hai's path is to break through all laws with sheer force and create a divine position. This path is far more difficult than becoming a god through faith.

The creation of divinity is also the gathering of infinite energy; the power of faith is also power.

If Lin Hai doesn't rely on the power of faith to gather divine power, he needs to acquire power and create divine power in his own way.

However, Lin Hai guessed that such power might be obtained from spirit rings.

Fortunately, you have two super items to help you, so this isn't too difficult.

Moreover, the benefits that the throne of the God of Eternity and Creation brings to Ninghai are not limited to this.

Lin Hai gained insights into the divine while near the site of the divine inheritance. This will also help Lin Hai achieve his goal of creating his own divine position more quickly.

More than ten days have passed!

While Lin Hai was still immersed in his reflections...

An unexpected guest arrived at the offering hall.

"Bang!" A sudden, powerful pressure swept across the entire hall.

"Who?!" Qian Daoliu and the other Spirit Hall elders opened their eyes immediately. Qian Daoliu shouted sternly.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Old Birdman!! Do you still remember me? Hahahaha!" A hearty and unrestrained voice rang out.

"Birdman!!!" The sudden appearance of this term startled everyone in the Spirit Hall.

Their gazes furtively fell upon Qian Daoliu, and they saw that although he remained calm, a few black lines had appeared on his forehead.

Sendou Ryu was very familiar with this title.

"That damn bastard! He's still alive," Qian Daoliu cursed inwardly.

Sendou Ryu immediately recognized who it was from that familiar address.

Lin Hai, who was in the Spirit Hall, also heard the title "Feifan".

"A birdman? Is that Azure Phoenix Douluo?"

"No, ordinary people wouldn't dare to attack the Spirit Hall's Hall of Worship."

"Could it be that they're calling for Sen Daoliu!"

"But there aren't many people left who dare to call Qian Daoliu that!"

"Who could it be?" Lin Hai wondered to himself.

Just as Lin Hai was wondering, Qian Daoliu had already appeared above the offering hall.

Directly in front of Qian Daoliu in the air was a rather robust person, but this person hadn't groomed himself much and looked quite sloppy.

Following Qian Daoliu, a group of the Spirit Hall's retainers also appeared behind him.

"Tang Chen?!" Golden Crocodile Douluo's tone was somewhat surprised, but there was still a hint of uncertainty in his words.

"Golden Crocodile!" Tang Chen was tall with black hair and black eyes, handsome appearance, and deep eyes. His voice was old and deep.

Tang Chen's current appearance is more like that of a dignified old man. He still retains the attire of the King of Slaughter, wearing a blood-red robe and his entire body is wrapped in a huge, high-collared scarlet cloak.

"What kind of look is this, old hammer?" Qian Daoliu said in a cold tone.

"Hahahaha, old birdman, you're still here after all!"

"Old Hammer, you're still alive, so naturally I'll outlive you!"

Qian Daoliu frowned slightly as he sensed the imposing aura emanating from Tang Chen.

"You succeeded?!" Qian Daoliu's tone was somewhat uncertain.

That happened around the year 2600 of the Douluo Calendar. The Spirit Hall sent two thousand spirit masters to recruit the spirit masters of Seagod Island.

Ultimately, the Spirit Hall suffered a crushing defeat because it was invincible against Poseidon in the ocean domain. Fewer than a hundred people were able to return alive, and two Title Douluos were also lost there.

Qian Daoliu then invited Tang Chen to explore Poseidon Island together, where they encountered Poseidon. The three fought for three days and three nights, causing landslides and tsunamis. In the end, Poseidon used the terrain advantage to defeat Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen in turn.

At this time, Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu's wives had passed away. They had both pursued Poseidon. Poseidon fell in love with Tang Chen, so she rejected Qian Daoliu, who could not become a god, by saying that she would accept the feelings of whoever could reach level 100. She secretly expressed her love to Tang Chen, who had the best chance of becoming a god through his own power.

Unfortunately, Tang Chen failed to grasp Poseidon's meaning. Believing it to be true, he left Poseidon Island after saying, "I will not return until I become a god."

In the year 2619 of the Douluo Calendar, Tang Chen set off to find the path to godhood. Before departing, he fought Qian Daoliu on the mountain where the Clear Sky Sect was located, and Tang Chen won by a slight margin. As a result, Qian Daoliu promised Tang Chen that no one under his command would ever set foot on that mountain again until Qian Daoliu defeated Tang Chen.

Judging from the current situation, Tang Chen seems to have succeeded!

"Me?" Tang Chen's tone was a mixture of relief and sadness.

"I did keep my promise, but if I had to say, I still failed!"

Just as they were talking, Lin Hai also came out.

He already knew who the person in front of him was from their conversation.

"Is this Tang Chen?" Lin Hai thought to himself.

"Isn't Tang Chen in the Killing City? He's the King of Slaughter."

"That's how he got out? After returning, he specifically paid attention to the City of Slaughter, but there didn't seem to be any news about the City of Slaughter being destroyed!"

"Could it be because the nine-headed bat died? So Tang Chen regained his consciousness through sheer willpower?"

"But knowing Rakshasa's personality, she shouldn't let Tang Chen escape so easily, right?"

"I don't understand!"

……

Lin Hai's appearance did not attract Tang Chen's attention. Of the other elders of the Spirit Hall, only Golden Crocodile Douluo caught Tang Chen's attention.

"You left behind the words, 'I will not return until I become a god.' Now it seems you have succeeded and have even surpassed me and Poseidon." Qian Daoliu's gaze was filled with complex emotions.

His former friend and rival succeeded, and he was happy but also disappointed.

"I did succeed, but I also failed!"

"After I left, I went through countless hardships to find a divine inheritance." Tang Chen's tone was filled with reminiscence.

"Judging from the lingering murderous aura emanating from you, there's only one place I can think of!"

"You're right, you're in the Killing City!"

"After I found it, I discovered that the Killing City was also a testing ground for gods to select candidates."

"I passed the initial tests smoothly, but later I was ambushed."

All efforts have been in vain.

"I lost my way and became the King of Slaughter in the Killing City."

"They have become puppets of a ferocious beast."

"Many years passed in a daze, but fortunately, heaven rewards those who persevere. I don't know who killed that beast, but I regained a brief period of clarity and took the opportunity to regain control of my body."

"So what's your situation now?" Qian Daoliu asked.

"A level three god!!" Lin Hai, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, suddenly exclaimed.

Lin Hai's words made Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu take notice.

Tang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

His gaze then fell upon Qian Daoliu, his eyes conveying a question.

"Let's go downstairs and talk! Even though you're both an opponent and an old friend, the first thing you did after coming out was to come to me. I think you must have a lot to say, so we'll have a good talk now."

"Hmm!" Tang Chen's deep voice rang out.

……

"Old bird, who's this little guy?"

Inside the Spirit Hall's Hall of Offerings, in a room, Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and Lin Hai sat. Tang Chen looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Lin Hai and asked with some confusion.

It's no wonder Tang Chen felt this way, because in his view, he and Qian Daoliu were the strongest people of this era.

Lin Hai was just an unknown nobody. The fact that such a nobody was at their table naturally aroused Tang Chen's suspicion.

"Old Hammer, don't underestimate him!"

"Maybe not, you might not even be as good as them right now!"

"Tch! Qian Daoliu, you're getting worse with age. Do you even know how valuable I am now?!"

"Although I did not inherit a high-ranking godhood, I am now completely detached from ordinary people."

Lin Hai took this opportunity to carefully examine Tang Chen.

Lin Hai remembered Tang Chen. He was a true man through and through.

He is open-minded and extremely talented. He focuses on cultivating his martial soul, yet he differs from Tang San.

Although Tang Chen has a rather domineering personality, he is also an upright person. If Tang Chen were not a good person, he would not have become good friends with Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi.

She would not be favored by Poseidon.

Therefore, Lin Hai admires Tang Chen more than Tang San.

Moreover, he is the most brilliant and dazzling person on this continent recently, even he is inferior to Tang Chen.

"Oh?" Tang Chen's low voice had a unique flavor as he looked at Lin Hai with a hint of surprise.

He knew Qian Daoliu very well. Back on this continent, only Qian Daoliu could rival him. Qian Daoliu wouldn't lie to him.

Moreover, deceiving him would not bring Qian Daoliu any benefit.

"Nice to meet you, young friend!"

"Senior Tang Chen, you flatter me!" Lin Hai said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
