Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

You came to my Seagod Island, which triggered my inherited mark and earned you the Nine Trials of the Seagod.

That's not my fault.

First come, first served.

As for that little mermaid...

Poseidon's gaze shifted slightly, landing on the fiery red figure at the edge of the Seahorse Pillar.

Ariel.

Her talent is truly amazing; the ocean's affinity for her is ridiculously high, making her practically a born successor to the sea god.

If things had gone according to plan, she would have turned eighteen in three years, triggered the Sea God's inheritance, and almost certainly received the Sea God's Nine Trials.

But now...

Poseidon withdrew his gaze and turned it back to Lin Wan.

so what?

Who says there can only be one successor to a divine position?

Poseidon never stipulated that the nine trials of the sea god could only be given to one person.

If that little mermaid accepts the test, she will still receive the same nine trials of the Sea God as Lin Wan.

After all, her talent is undeniable, the ocean loves her, and the Trident recognizes her—these are facts that no one can change.

not to mention

Poseidon narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile on his lips deepened.

He has more than just the god of the sea under his command.

He has plenty of divine positions for second-level and third-level gods.

so……

The sea god slowly stood up, his sea-blue robes fluttering without wind, and his body radiating a faint golden light.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze piercing through the endless void, landing on the young man who was receiving the baptism of golden light.

Shura, this time, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you.

I'm going to have this young man.

As for the legacy you left behind in the City of Slaughter...

Hahahaha!

……

On the other side, on Poseidon Island.

Poseidon shifted his gaze from the golden trident mark on Lin Wan's forehead to the Seahorse Douluo standing bowing beside him.

"Eurasia, relay my orders."

Poseidon stood with her hands behind her back, her long, sea-blue hair swaying gently in the wind.

"Lin Wan is a distinguished guest of this island until he completes the Sea God's test. No one may neglect or offend him. Apart from not helping him complete the test, you should try your best to meet his conditions."

She paused, her gaze sweeping across the distant Seahorse City, surrounded by forests.

"Just stay in your Seahorse City."

"Yes!" Seahorse Douluo Ouya bowed his head and accepted the order, his voice extremely respectful.

Despite not having seen this high priest for ten years, Poseidon was the supreme being on this island of Poseidon.

No one can be above her unless the sea god himself descends.

Poseidon continued, "Also, summon the others. Tomorrow is the Sea God Temple meeting."

"As ordered!"

Seahorse Douluo stood up and stepped aside.

Poseidon's gaze fell on Lin Wan again.

Those eyes, as deep as the ocean, now held a hint of gentleness, a hint of relief, and a hint of indescribable expectation.

She nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"very good."

Her voice was soft, yet it reached Lin Wan's ears clearly.

"I believe you will be able to pass the Sea God's test."

Lin Wan met her gaze, her expression calm, and simply nodded slightly.

Poseidon continued, "If you need anything, you can ask Eurasia."

She raised her hand and gently tapped her forehead with her slender index finger.

"Remember, you must complete at least one of the nine trials of Poseidon each year."

Her tone became serious.

"Otherwise, all our previous efforts will be in vain."

Lin Wan nodded: "Understood."

Poseidon looked at him, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

next moment.

A flash of red light.

The crimson robe, the golden trident scepter, and the noble and elegant figure vanished into thin air before the three of them.

There was no sound of air being cut, no energy fluctuations, and not even the surrounding air trembled in the slightest.

It just disappeared.

It was as if she had never existed.

Seahorse Douluo Eurasia let out a long breath, straightened up, and still had a hint of awe on his face.

He turned to look at Lin Wan, his expression so respectful that no one could find fault with him.

no way.

Who would dare to neglect a distinguished guest personally entrusted by the Grand Master?

"Come with me."

Seahorse Douluo raised his hand, and blue light surged in his palm.

A rich blue light shone from his hand, and with a slight wave, a strange scene unfolded.

The seawater on one side of the sea suddenly surged up, as if lifted by an invisible hand, rapidly condensing and shaping in the air.

It only took a short while.

A bridge made entirely of seawater spans the sea within the sea and stretches into the distance.

The bridge was crystal clear, reflecting a rainbow of colors in the sunlight, and you could even see fine wave patterns flowing slowly on its surface.

The end of the bridge was not the way they had come from.

Instead, it leads to the deeper part of Poseidon Island, to that area covered by dense forest.

Seahorse Douluo turned around, stood sideways at the bridgehead, and made a "please" gesture.

"Mr. Lin, please."

Lin Wan glanced at Ariel beside her, nodded slightly, and stepped onto the bridge formed by the seawater.

Ariel walked beside him, her long, fiery red hair swaying gently in the wind.

The three of them walked across the bridge.

The water beneath my feet is transparent, and I can clearly see the surging waves of the sea beneath the bridge, yet I can't feel the slightest bit of wetness.

Seahorse Douluo led the way, speaking as he went:

"Welcome to Poseidon Island."

His voice was calm, tinged with a touch of emotion.

"You'll probably be living here for a long time to come."

Lin Wan nodded without saying anything.

Seahorse Douluo continued, "Poseidon Island doesn't have many rules. After you arrive in Seahorse City and settle in, you can decide for yourself when to begin your trials."

He paused, then looked back at the golden brand on Lin Wan's forehead.

"One assessment needs to be completed each year. Only after each assessment is completed will the conditions for the next assessment become apparent, until all assessments are completed."

Lin Wan said, "I understand."

Seahorse Douluo said, "If you need anything, please let me know, and I will try my best to meet your needs."

He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Lin Wan's forehead.

"One more thing to note is that on Poseidon Island, you can go anywhere except for the central forbidden area."

His tone became serious.

"But please do not cover the brand on your forehead."

"That's a symbol of your status."

Lin Wan touched the warm trident mark on her forehead and nodded.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Upon hearing this, Seahorse Douluo Ouya quickly waved his hand, a smile appearing on his face:

"Mr. Lin, you're too kind."

He bowed slightly, adopting a very humble posture.

"You are a distinguished guest appointed by the Grand Master. If you need anything, just give the order."
