The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 345 Because of Your Kindness

The morning sun shines on the faces of the sleeping, ringing the alarm clock for those who don't want to get up early.

Li Xun rubbed his eyes, stretched, and gently stepped over the sleeping Zhu Zhuqing to get out of bed.

As it turns out, even with his soul power sealed, his physique remained formidable.

Without waking the three of them, Li Xun washed up and headed towards the Sea God Temple.

He's been traveling back and forth to Poseidon Island for almost three years, and this is the first time he's ever come close to it.

As you ascend the steps, the majestic and solemn Temple of Poseidon comes into view.

The ancient stone pillars in front of the hall are carved with various intricate patterns. If you look closely, you can recognize that these patterns are all derived from various sea spirit beasts.

As they slowly walked inside, it seemed that the Sea Dragon Douluo had been waiting for them for a long time.

"Lord Li Xun, the High Priest is waiting for you."

"Thank you," Li Xun said, cupping his hands in thanks.

The Temple of Poseidon was not decorated much and could only be described as simple. Although it was extremely spacious, the windows on all four sides were tightly closed, making it appear somewhat dark.

In this environment, no psychological problems arose, and the mind was considered firm.

Li Xun muttered to himself, then went to the outer edge of the stone pillars that resembled sacred pillars inside the main hall; "Greetings, Senior Poseidon."

"Are you prepared to pass the seventh test today?" Poseidon turned around calmly, and with a wave of her hand, removed all the chains from Li Xun's body.

He sensed his soul power status and then moved his body around a bit.

Li Xun smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry. If the High Priest has anything else he wants to do that requires some time, I can wait."

"Time?" Poseidon's eyes flashed, and she quickly guessed what was going on. "You know?"

"Could it be that your spirit fusion skill with Ning Rongrong allows you to peer into other people's memories?"

"This skill is beyond our control; it was unintentional. Please forgive us, High Priest." It is said that old people become shrewd, and Li Xun was not about to deceive Poseidon.

"Heh, whether it was unintentional or intentional, the fact remains that you've spied on my memories. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Poseidon walked to the throne in the temple, turned around and sat down, a half-smile on his face.

"No, although I haven't had much contact with the High Priest, I have a general understanding of your personality." Li Xun did not shy away from the topic and walked to a chair to sit down.

"Oh! You know my personality? Tell me about it." Poseidon became interested.

"Because you are kind."

"Whether it's due to the restrictions imposed by the Sea God or the limitations of your status, you never hindered our assessment from beginning to end, did you?"

"And you went easy on me during yesterday's assessment."

"I'm not as kind as you think, but I just know my fate and don't want to struggle in vain anymore."

Poseidon turned to look at the sea god statue behind her: "This is also my mission as the high priest of the sea god. After all, even if you are gone, another successor to the sea god will come."

"A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions." Li Xun shook his head: "Your actions are a thousand times better than those who talk a good game but act against morality."

Poseidon laughed: "I really should have met you sooner."

"It's not too late now."

"It's not too late, really. The last two trials of your Ninth Trial should still take a few more years. I can still hear some good things about you," Poseidon teased.

Upon hearing this, Li Xun pondered for a moment. Just as Poseidon was becoming curious, he solemnly asked, "If I told you that you could continue living even after the divine trial ends, would you believe me?"

"And you, would you like to continue existing in this world?"

Poseidon paused, his smile fading. Instead of questioning the veracity of Li Xun's words, he began to think about them seriously.

After a moment, he said, "I don't know, I've never thought about this kind of question before."

"And I don't know what reason I have to live anymore. It's not for Tang Chen, but because I've been a believer in the Sea God for a hundred years. Am I supposed to stay here for the rest of the hundred years?"

Poseidon surveyed the desolate scene inside the great hall.

She had always been devout in her faith in the Sea God, but after countless cycles of time and sacrifices within the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda yesterday, it seemed that her faith had been completely exhausted.

The reason I didn't make a move against Li Xun at the end yesterday was twofold: firstly, I was tired, and secondly, perhaps as he said, my heart is kind.

"I see."

Li Xun understood: "I know your current situation. You've lost your goals and perseverance, and you've fallen into confusion."

"This kind of thing is easy to solve; we just need to set another goal."

"A target?" Poseidon murmured, pondering for a moment before gently shaking her head. "In terms of strength, I am already among the top on the continent; in terms of power, I am the island lord and high priest of Seagod Island. What else could be my target?"

"You've never left Poseidon Island to see the world since you were a child, have you? Why not travel around and appreciate the beauty of this world? It would be better than coming into this world in vain!"

Li Xun smiled sincerely: "Moreover, your cultivation has reached its pinnacle. If you have the right opportunity, becoming a god is not impossible."

Poseidon was somewhat tempted when Li Xun told her about the first half of the story.

The latest novel is first published here!

She had been thinking about taking one last walk on Poseidon Island a couple of days ago, and now hearing about the outside world has broadened her horizons.

However, upon hearing the latter part of Li Xun's words, she laughed: "As the High Priest of the Sea God, I possess the Sea God's divine power. How could other gods risk offending the Sea God to grant me the opportunity to become a god?"

"Furthermore, regardless of whether Tang Chen tried to find the inheritance in the first thirty years, the fact that there was no news about it in the last forty years shows that even if the inheritance is found, it is not easy to obtain."

"You're currently undergoing a divine test; you should understand this deeply, right?"

"I haven't really experienced that. Isn't all of this quite easy?" Li Xun smiled and spread his hands. "Besides, the opportunity I'm talking about isn't some other god, but me."

"Okay, I admit it, you are indeed different from us ordinary people."

Poseidon laughed in exasperation: "But you say my destiny to become a god lies with you? Using such a childish excuse, are you trying to trick me into becoming your henchman?"

"How can you call it deception?" Li Xun casually found a chair, sat down, and crossed his legs. "High Priest, you worship the Sea God, and I am the future Sea God. Helping me now is helping the Sea God, isn't it?"

"Rongrong and I are your future faith."

"The last two tests of the Sea God's assessment are extremely difficult. If you suffer a backlash, death is quite common. At best, you are just a candidate."

With that little girl Ning Rongrong sharing the same affinity with the Sea God, your status as a Sea God candidate isn't pure at all.

Poseidon also imitated Li Xun, crossing her long legs, seemingly unimpressed by Li Xun's status as the future sea god.

"It might be a bit difficult, but with your help, wouldn't the chances of Rongrong and I becoming gods be much greater?" Li Xun revealed his snow-white teeth.

Poseidon narrowed her eyes, slowly lowered her long, snow-white legs, and leaned forward: "I cannot help you pass the divine test, nor can I offer you any assistance during the test."

"You don't need to help me during the God's Trial. Just help me become stronger; that will be the greatest help you can give me."

Thinking of the remaining powerful soul beasts, Li Xun smiled.

Di Tian is too powerful, so we won't consider him for now.

But what about the Evil Emperor and Xiong Jun, those soul beasts? Once he becomes stronger, and the two of them join forces, they won't be able to defeat him.

More importantly, Li Xun remembered that besides the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, there was also a Sea Princess with 600,000 years of cultivation in the Ice Sea.

With Poseidon, the invincible ocean lord, by his side, the other invincible ocean lord would surely give him some face.

Seeing Poseidon's serious expression, Li Xun smiled and said, "Besides, you can also look around, can't you?"
