The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 246 I've Become a Sword Sheath?

Seahorse Douluo looked at Zhu Zhuqing and frowned: "Aren't you going to reconsider?"

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head without saying a word, her gaze unwavering.

"Alright, since you've made up your mind, and I've said what I needed to say, let's begin." Seahorse Douluo didn't say anything more, and blue light once again emerged from his hands. A pillar of light instantly enveloped Zhu Zhuqing.

The blue, white, and purple colors turned into black almost instantly. As the pitch-black patterns rose again, Seahorse Douluo couldn't help but gasp.

Even the other six Holy Pillars held their breath.

The black lines rose rapidly, surpassing Dugu Yan's previous position in the blink of an eye, which caused many people to exclaim in surprise. However, the black lines did not stop there, and only stopped when they reached two-thirds of the way up the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.

A red light shone through the pitch-black darkness, and eight beams of light instantly appeared in front of Zhu Zhuqing.

"The Eighth Trial of the Top Level!!!" The seven holy pillars of Poseidon Island exclaimed in unison, and even Poseidon's calm face changed color for a moment.

No one understood better than her what the Eight Trials of the Sea God meant. Poseidon sighed. While it signified strength and aptitude, it was also a shackle—a cage that bound her forever to Sea God Island, serving the Sea God.

"Is another figure like the High Priest about to appear on our Seagod Island?" Sea Dragon Douluo murmured.

The other pillars, having overcome their initial surprise, gradually began to smile.

The top-level eighth test means that this little girl will definitely become a Limit Douluo, which is undoubtedly a huge boost for their Seagod Island, making them excited.

Li Xun listened to these people talking about Zhu Zhuqing becoming the High Priest and remained unconvinced. Knowing the inside story of this position, only a fool would stay: "Rongrong, you go upstairs."

Ning Rongrong was a little nervous and took small steps forward. With Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing displaying their talents ahead of her, even though Li Xun had told her about inheriting the Sea God, she still couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Seahorse Douluo dared not be negligent now. Although he did not know what the blue gem in Ning Rongrong's hand was, since the high priest had spoken, there must be some inside information that he did not know.

A blue beam of light appeared again.

Ning Rongrong watched as the beam of light turned from white to black in an instant, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, gradually calmed down.

But the black patterns did not stop; almost instantly they covered the Seahorse Sacred Pillar. A red light appeared, and the Seahorse Sacred Pillar turned from black to red. The red light, far more brilliant than Zhu Zhuqing's, illuminated the sky and then turned golden.

The light shone down on the earth, turning the sky golden, and not only the sea within the sea, but the entire Poseidon Island was also bathed in golden light.

This complete version overturned the understanding of Seahorse Douluo and the other six Holy Pillars, who stared in astonishment at everything before them.

Only Poseidon's eyes held a complex expression, her heart filled with a mixture of sadness and relief.

Ning Rongrong, who was in the golden pillar of light, had a different feeling at this moment. Streams of information flooded into her mind, and something in her body seemed to be touched. Her physique was changed by this golden light, and impurities were forced out. Then, nine light screens appeared in front of her.

But just as everyone was in shock, a wisp of energy suddenly separated from the golden light and enveloped Li Xun instantly.

Li Xun was stunned. Hadn't he not even conducted the test yet? Was he now the sword sheath? Wasn't this a reversal of the Heavenly Stems?

In fact, he was still hesitant about whether to participate in the Sea God's assessment, which is why he had the three women lined up in front of him to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.

He doesn't have the same soul beast resources as Tang San, so the idea of ​​having two gods in one body plus a sword sheath is out of the question. Moreover, he will have his own ways to become stronger after becoming a god, and it's believed that his final combat power will not be inferior to that of Tang Shenwang.

But Poseidon's actions left him somewhat bewildered.

Li Xun frowned. He had long known that the idea of ​​the divine realm not interfering in the human realm was a joke, but wasn't this going a bit too far? Things had already gone off track. Although it seemed like a good thing, the future was still long, and who knew what would happen?

Looking at the pale golden light screen in front of him: "God-level first test, accompanying Ning Rongrong through the Sea God's nine tests, the difficulty of the two is the same."

"The God-level assessment can only be given to one person at a time. Is the Sea God planning to keep me as a backup?" Li Xun looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly trying to pierce through the human realm and meet the Sea God's eyes.

He suddenly realized that the reason it was called a divine test was simply because it was a test set by God. What rules, what right of interpretation—wouldn't it ultimately be up to the person involved to decide?

Spirit world.

The sea god withdrew his gaze and quickly severed his connection with the mortal realm to avoid being discovered.

He thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "This kid is interesting. It seems he's discovered something. But as long as the God of Asura hasn't found out, that's fine."

……

Poseidon Island

The initial shock had subsided, leaving them in a state of bewildered confusion. Aside from the High Priest, they had never seen or understood the significance of the Nine Trials of Godhood on Poseidon Island.

All I know is that this is definitely better than the Black Level assessment.

"You are all very good. I have been waiting for a hundred years. Fortunately, you have appeared." Poseidon spoke slowly, her voice gentle and reaching the ears of everyone present. But if you listened carefully, you could detect a trace of melancholy and sigh.

"Pass down the order: from today onwards, they are honored guests of Poseidon Island. Except for not being able to help them with their assessments, they must be treated with utmost respect."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Eurasia, since they landed on the island from your place, then arrange for them to enter Seahorse City. Once things are settled, you can come to the Sea God Temple for a meeting."

"Yes!" Seahorse Douluo bowed respectfully. The other six nodded in agreement.

Although Poseidon has not appeared in public for nearly ten years, her authority on Poseidon Island remains unchallenged.

Poseidon nodded, then turned to Ning Rongrong and Li Xun: "If you have any needs on the island, you can ask Eurasia for them, and he will fulfill them. However, I must also remind you that you need to complete one task each year for the Divine Examination. Eurasia wasn't just trying to scare you."

After Poseidon finished speaking, he soared into the sky and headed straight for Poseidon Mountain. Upon seeing this, all seven Holy Pillars except for the city lord, Seahorse Douluo, also left.

"Distinguished guests, please follow me." Seeing that things were clear, Seahorse Douluo, Sword Douluo, and Poison Douluo nodded and led the group toward Seahorse City, which they were guarding.

Through a more detailed understanding along the way, Li Xun also confirmed the Sea God's identity as an evil god.

When Purple Pearl chatted with him before, she said that there were three thousand people on Seagod Island, but he got more accurate information from Seahorse Douluo.

Li Xun had once wondered how to divide the three thousand people among the seven Sacred Pillars, each with their own city. It turned out there were only a little over three thousand Soul Masters.

Each city has 500 Soul Masters, with the rest being the elderly, women, children, and ordinary people. However, there aren't many of them; each city has only about 1,000 people, and even the largest city, Hailong City, has just over 2,000.

For a city roughly the same size as the capital of South Korea, the population is far too small given the population's birth rate.

Perhaps the best option for living on Seagod Island is to have no soul power and reduce fertility.

After all, the mortality rate of the God of the Exam is quite high, and no one wants to see their child face death at such a young age.

Once Ning Rongrong becomes the Sea Goddess, let her change these ridiculous rules.
