Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Clay, the Creator of All Things

Poseidon's expression was calm, showing neither aloofness nor the warmth of a former master. It was simply the indifference of meeting an old friend.

"High Priestess." The sea witch bowed slightly, looking at the transformed Poseidon with a complex expression.

"It's amazing how much the High Priest's demeanor has changed since we last met."

The former Poseidon was filled with loneliness and coldness, indifferent and weathered by fate, with endless weariness and sorrow hidden in his eyes.

At this moment, she radiated a gentle light, her mind was at peace, and there was a calm and serene air about her, like a bird that had broken free from its cage and had truly become herself.

Poseidon smiled faintly: "As people go through life, their circumstances change, and their state of mind naturally changes. I already know the purpose of your visit."

Without any unnecessary pleasantries, Poseidon got straight to the point.

The sea witch nodded slightly, suppressing her emotions, and said solemnly, "High Priest, His Majesty the Sea God senses that you have been away from the divine island for a long time and have severed your divine connection with him, and he is concerned about you."

"Now, the order on Poseidon Island is in vain. The seven sacred pillars each perform their duties but have no unified command, and the hearts of the myriad races in the sea are restless."

"Your Majesty's divine decree: We hope that the High Priest will cast aside worldly entanglements, return to Seagod Island, reclaim his priestly authority, and preside over the sacred sea region to continue the millennia-old tradition."

His words were sincere and heartfelt.

The sea witch did not exert pressure or coerce; she simply acted as a junior, reminiscing about old times and discussing responsibilities, appealing to emotions and reasoning with people.

In the past, Poseidon would have been willing to abandon everything and go to Poseidon's Island without hesitation, simply because of the sea god's concern for the continuation of the lineage.

But things are different now.

Poseidon shook her head slightly, her tone calm yet unwavering: "I have relinquished my position as High Priestess of the Sea God, and my past destiny has long since vanished."

"Over the years, I have guarded the sea god and protected the sea area without ever slacking off. I have long lived up to the sea god's blessings and the legacy of the sea god island."

"For the rest of my life, I only want to stay by my lover's side, live peacefully in the Sky City, and never want to return to the island again."

"Please convey to His Majesty the Sea God that from now on, there will be no more High Priestess Poseidon in this world, only the wife of Qian Daoliu, an ordinary woman living here in peace."

The sea witch's pretty face froze slightly upon hearing this, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Unexpectedly, Lord Poseidon's answer was so decisive and resolute.

That's really... great!

The sea witch was overjoyed, but suddenly her expression froze.

"How dare you! Poseidon..." A male voice, completely different from the sea witch's, came from the sea witch's mouth.

It was the divine thought of the sea god possessing the sea witch.

Was Poseidon's statement tantamount to announcing his betrayal to his face?

Even though there was a prior instance of disobeying divine orders, saying it to the sea god's face still angered him.

However, Poseidon was interrupted as soon as he finished speaking.

"Sea God, come to me. Now that Poseidon has come under my command, the Sky City..."

"Whether it's bold or not is none of your business."

Chapter 408 Sea God: Maybe I remembered it wrong

As Lu Yan finished speaking, a five-colored stream of light appeared out of thin air and swept past the sea witch.

He then directly seized the Sea God's divine sense and took it away.

The next moment, the sea monster regained her composure.

"Lord Poseidon!" the sea witch exclaimed, and immediately threw herself into Poseidon's arms. With her lively and playful girlish appearance, she began to act cute and charming.

The girl, who was wearing a black, tight-fitting crop top, had green hair, a seashell on her forehead, and a pair of clear, sky-blue eyes that blinked brightly, finally revealed her true appearance.

Her stunningly beautiful face, with a sweet smile on her lips, was a stark contrast to her previous demeanor when the sea god's divine will resided within her.

Returning to Poseidon Island?

Return my ass!

As the most respectful and loving descendant of Lord Poseidon.

The sea witch wished Poseidon could be free from Poseidon Island forever, free from the destiny of having to sacrifice herself for the successor of the sea god!

Are we really going to make Lord Poseidon sacrifice himself for that disgusting guy Tang San?

He doesn't deserve it!

Before even becoming the Sea God, the Clear Sky Sect was already arrogant and domineering on Sea God Island. If Tang San were to become the Sea God, what would become of them?!

Let alone persuading Poseidon to return to Poseidon Island, even the sea witch herself didn't want to go back.

The real purpose of my visit was to ask Poseidon if the Sky City was still accepting applicants.

Many residents of Poseidon Island want to leave.

What kind of bullshit sea god is this? What kind of faith is that?

Rather than believing in the lofty and distant sea god, most people on Poseidon Island prefer to believe in Poseidon, who has long protected them.

Wherever Poseidon went, they were willing to follow!

The sea witch's previous words were nothing more than a helpless act!

Under the influence of the sea god's divine will, she had no choice but to recite the script verbatim.

Now that the Sea God's divine sense has been taken away by Lu Yan, he has also left her with the option to transmit her voice at will.

The sea witch naturally freed herself.

"Alright, alright, how old are you? Still acting like a child!" Poseidon sighed and patted the sea witch's head helplessly.

She watched the sea witch grow up, and although she had children of her own, in her eyes the sea witch was no different from her own child.

How could they become rusty just because they left Poseidon Island?

It can only be said that from the moment the sea witch called out "High Priest," the perceptive Poseidon had already sensed something was amiss.

Given her relationship with the sea witch, the title of High Priestess is appropriate.

Even on Poseidon Island, this is a rare occurrence.

This girl even once considered calling her Sister Poseidon.

After a period of close interaction, the Sea Witch then spoke to Poseidon about whether the Sky City could take in some of the people of Poseidon Island.

Poseidon readily agreed.

Without asking anyone, Poseidon knew how much Lu Yan desired to expand the population of Sky City.

Policies to encourage childbirth have been emphasized more than once or twice.

Given Lu Yan's personality, it wouldn't be difficult for him to simply allocate a cave-heaven space from the mere population of Poseidon Island and transform it into a sea area.

With the important matter settled, the Sea Witch, led by Poseidon, explored the Sky City like a curious child.

She's more like a teenage girl than a titled Douluo.

On the other side, the confrontation between the Sea God's divine sense and Lu Yan was much more serious.

Lu Yan stood with his hands behind his back, the Yin and Yang energies flowing in his eyes, surrounded by the surging Heavenly Dao energy, and the immense power of the laws emanating from his body.

The sea of ​​clouds churned, and the overwhelming pressure enveloped the illusory figure formed from the divine thought of the sea god.

The mighty will of Heaven suddenly awakened, silently enveloping the entire surrounding sky.

Endless fortune converged on Lu Yan, and all the laws of heaven and earth bowed down.

The anger that had been ignited by Lu Yan's words suddenly subsided.

He could clearly sense that the young man before him carried a terrifying and immense will—the will of the Great World!

As one of the top beings among the first-level gods, how could the Sea God not recognize this will?

The immense favor bestowed upon Lu Yan, the vastness of the laws governing him, and the extreme favor shown to him by heaven and earth far exceeded all his understanding of the will of heaven and earth!

Isn't the will of heaven and earth always extremely aloof?

Even towards these gods, and even the former dragon god, they all adopted an indifferent attitude.

Why is she so attentive to Lu Yan?

Poseidon could even vaguely sense that his divine thought, which had crossed planes, was being instinctively rejected and expelled by the rules of this world.

Although this rejection was very weak, it was not a big problem for him given his strength.

But at his level, some secrets are still known.

Even if one is extremely powerful and defies the laws of nature, one may not be harmed in the short term.

However, when the time comes, it will inevitably backfire and cause endless troubles. Unless absolutely necessary, it is absolutely forbidden to make an enemy of it.

As if doused with cold water, the sea god calmed down.

Their attitude even became much gentler.

"Your words are absolutely right. I was presumptuous, please forgive me!"

When it comes to being flexible and adaptable, Poseidon is also a master.

Even though Lu Yan openly NTR'd him, he could still greet him with a smile.

This caused Lu Yan's prepared words to suddenly get stuck in his throat.

Lu Yan: I still prefer the way you were when you were furious earlier. Why don't you get angry again and calm down?

Poseidon: Do you think I'm stupid? The will of the world protects you. You're just a high priest. What harm is there in giving you this?

"Poseidon, is there any other business with you? If not, please return!"

What else could Lu Yan do but see his guests off?

We can't just grab onto that wisp of the Sea God's divine consciousness and beat him up, can we?

"There is indeed something I need to tell you. I wonder if you remember the matter of the division of the authority of the angels?" The sea god brought up the matter from three years ago again.

"Oh? Is that so?" Lu Yan raised an eyebrow. "I don't recall it. Tell me about it."

What division of authority? The position of the angel is the inherited position of the thousand families, that is, my family's. How can it be divided?

Divide my ass!
