Douluo: On Becoming a God through Science

Lina murmured sweetly, clinging to You Chen, her eyes full of tenderness, and said in a soft voice: "Dear, as expected~ you are the best~ those spies on Poseidon Island were successfully eliminated by you~ and no one has any doubts~ there is no turmoil~"

Regent was shocked when she saw the picture of this "harmonious couple" and felt as if her worldview had collapsed.

Poseidon Island, spies, elimination——

Countless thoughts flashed through Lijing's mind, and finally she came to a conclusion.

'Is this a play, a play to exclude dissidents?'

Lijing felt her brain turned into a mess again.

Suddenly, You Chen raised his head and met Li Jing's eyes as she leaned against the crack in the door: "Why, after peeping for so long, why don't you come in and greet your respected mother?"

Lijing's face turned pale instantly. She reacted and realized that if it was just an ordinary sea soul beast abusing its power, it would be fine, but with Youchen's ability, how could he not have noticed her presence?

Regent wanted to escape.

But the sense of justice in her heart still drove her to push open the door after taking a deep breath.

She immediately questioned, "Mother, so everything is just fake? What are you planning? Even if, even if they are really spies, they are still our compatriots! Can't we use other methods!?"

"Hmm?"

Lina looked dazed and didn't respond at all.

This is, of course - a lie.

Regent is now emotionally agitated and rather stupid, so she may not be able to react for a while.

But when she calmed down, she easily realized a problem - since You Chen had already discovered her, was it possible that their conversation just now was a real act?

But now, Lina's face looked as if she had been overturned by a car, and she looked like she had completely lost the ability to think, which made her words just now credible and turned into a situation similar to "speaking the truth after drinking."

With Regent's intelligence, either she wouldn't realize that something was wrong when she calmed down afterwards, or even if she did, it would only be this level at best.

Well, Lina was just acting stupid, but the redness on her face that wouldn't fade away when she acted like that in front of her daughter was an uncontrollable instinctive reaction.

At this time, You Chen just took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Haven't you already guessed it?"

Seeing that her mother was unable to answer, Lijing turned to look at You Chen. Even though she deliberately avoided his sight, she still couldn't help but see You Chen's perfect upper body that was like a marble sculpture.

Although naked, You Chen exudes a sacred and majestic temperament.

Lijing felt more and more confused, but she finally dismissed this strange thought, clenched her fists, and said: "You want to... take control of the sea from Poseidon Island? This... This is ridiculous! You, you want to replace Poseidon——"

As soon as Li Jing finished speaking, her pupils shrank and she lost her voice.

Only then did she remember what the man had said, words that she had initially treated as a joke and sneered at.

'He is truly aiming to become a god.'

Then, the mother's surrender and cooperation are no longer difficult to understand.

Regent is extremely clear, and Lina is about to face the catastrophe of six hundred thousand that she is not sure whether she can survive.

In this case, it doesn't seem strange to choose a man who has a high probability of becoming a new god and bet on the possibility of him becoming a god and taking her to ascension.

Although her mother had never shown such a tendency before, with Liya's previous experience, Lijing would no longer think that her understanding and judgment of her relatives were absolutely correct.

Maybe... this is really the truth?

Lina felt extremely conflicted and angry...but also a little relieved.

At least, the mermaids were not forced to surrender, but made the decision on their own initiative after weighing the pros and cons of the previous Sea Princess.

Just like the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan in the past pledged their loyalty to the God of the Sea.

That is, the Sea Princess's decision on future policies as the clan leader is not something she should be concerned about.

If that's the case... then there's certainly no need to worry about it anymore.

But this was a huge shock after all, and Regent felt mixed emotions and was in an extremely complicated mood.

"My sister is the next sea princess. Does she know the truth? Maybe she does, so she didn't do the same as me. Haha, now it seems that I am just like the clown who was kept in the dark..."

After getting the answer she wanted, Regent left the room in despair.

After a while, Lina's voice finally rang out in the room.

She put her arms around You Chen's neck and said gratefully, "Master, thank you for putting on this show for Li Jing. I think in this way, she probably won't have any unnecessary psychological burden and can live a normal life here..."

You Chen smiled faintly, kneaded Lina's body gently a few times, and said: "This is what I promised you at the beginning. Besides, isn't this interesting?"

As he spoke, You Chen lifted up Lina's thick fish tail with one hand, causing Lina to let out a somewhat panicked exclamation.

"However, since you offered to pay me, I won't refuse. Next is the balance."

The door was directly closed under the impact of You Chen's mental power that turned into substance, and a real battle began.

After an unknown amount of time, the exhausted Lina finally left her body and returned to Youchen's soul ring.

You Chen once again put away Lina's body and stretched. His powerful body had experienced a long battle, but he did not feel tired at all. Instead, he felt refreshed.

He licked his lips and couldn't help but admire it inwardly.

After a short period of entertainment, You Chen began his immersive practice again.

However, this time, not long after they started practicing, a new visitor arrived.

The visitor is the representative of Seagod Island——Sea Dragon Douluo.

Chapter 167 A Visit from Poseidon Island

The North Sea was in turmoil due to the succession of sea princesses.

In the West Sea, Poseidon Douluo had been away for a month and had not returned. No news had been received, which caused even more turbulent waves.

Fortunately, Poseidon usually lives in seclusion and few people can meet him on weekdays. The news was strictly sealed by the Seven Saint Pillar Douluo.

Now that the group is leaderless, it is natural for the short ones to pick a taller one, and the Sea Dragon Douluo, the strongest among the seven sacred pillars, has become the one in charge.

After a search, the information about the fierce battle between You Chen and Poseidon at sea that day was naturally not concealed.

With the succession of the Sea Princess and the news from some sea soul beasts that a mysterious soul master had killed three hundred thousand year soul beasts that attacked the mermaid clan's sea area, Sea Dragon Douluo had basically determined the development of the situation...

When Sea Dragon Douluo thought of that horrible possibility, he felt his body tremble slightly.

but……

"I am the guardian of the Seven Sacred Pillars - Sea Dragon! How can I retreat here!? "

A determined light flashed in Sea Dragon Douluo's eyes.

Faith and loyalty once again became his spiritual strength.

If the high priest really met with an accident, he would be the one to support Poseidon Island and keep going!

And before that...

"We must confirm what attitude that strong man has towards us and Poseidon Island... In addition, with such a huge change in the North Sea, if we don't send anyone from Poseidon Island to visit and greet him, everyone will notice something is wrong. I'm afraid that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is about to break through the barrier of Poseidon Island. At times like this, we must show confidence..."

It's not that Sea Dragon Douluo has not thought about praying to the Sea God for an oracle again. However, Bo Saixi had just performed this operation in the Sea God Temple not long ago. It will take a long time for the altar to be filled with the power of faith again. It can't be operated again in a short time.

What's more, Sea Dragon Douluo did not succeed the position of High Priest, so this practice was against the rules.

And for faith, it is necessary to maintain this solemnity and limitation.

You can say that they don't know how to adapt, but the principles, content, and rules of a religious sect cannot be changed suddenly in a short period of time. Instead, they need a long period of time to evolve naturally with the changes in social relations and the process of cultural dissemination.

Otherwise, believers’ recognition of dogma can be easily shaken in the process, and even lead to sectarian splits.

Even if Sea Dragon Douluo wanted to inherit the position of the Great Priest, he couldn't just do it like that. You didn't even look for the missing former Great Priest, and you took over like that. It felt like you were taking advantage of an opportunity, and it was hard to convince others.

In addition, the biggest problem is that... the succession of the high priest is not just a nominal succession, but requires a ceremony to worship the sea god to complete the inheritance of the position.

Such fluctuations could not be hidden from the surrounding sea soul beasts.

In the past, the position of the Great Priest was changed in order to intimidate dangerous soul beasts like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King who refused to submit to the Sea God and the Sea God Island, and to tell them that although the old Great Priests were getting old, new young Great Priests were born who were enough to restrain and intimidate them.

But it's different now.

Bo Saixi is far from old enough to abdicate, and Sea Dragon Douluo is far from strong enough to take on the position of High Priest.

Instead, it will make the sea soul beast realize that something is wrong with Poseidon.

So no matter what, this trip to the North Sea is imperative.

However, Sea Dragon Douluo knew that it was meaningless to talk about resistance in front of such a strong man.

As long as the mysterious strong man wants, even their group of Saint Pillar Douluo can only hide in the Sea God Temple, and even moving in the Sea God Island is life-threatening.

Unless they rely on external forces, otherwise... whether Poseidon Island can continue to survive is a huge problem!

And what power can Poseidon Island borrow?

The first thing Hailong Douluo thought of was the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect, which were the only two forces on the continent that possessed extreme combat power.

However, we won’t mention the relationship between the former and them. If he knew that Poseidon was missing, it would be good if he didn’t come and take a bite.

And the Haotian Sect? The sect had completely shut itself off, and Tang Chen had already disappeared without a trace.

So in fact, they can't borrow any strength.

"That's just the way it is."

Sea Dragon Douluo gathered the remaining six Saint Pillar Douluos and shared all the intelligence, speculations, and ideas in his hands with great seriousness.

"Are you saying that the Great Priest has been defeated by the mysterious strong man who killed the evil killer whale king? "

The Sea Girl Douluo, who respected and worshipped Bo Saixi, a fellow woman, was furious and slammed the table to refute: "The Great Priest is invincible in the ocean! In this Douluo Continent, except for the great gods, how could anyone defeat her quietly!?"

The other Saint Pillar Douluo did not say anything, but showed similar expressions.

Sea Dragon Douluo's face darkened slightly.

In fact, he had anticipated such a situation.

As the strongest Saint Pillar Douluo, he is the one who can best understand the power of Poseidon.

If he had not personally explored and inferred all the information along the way, he would not have believed it easily.

Sea Spear Douluo, who was firmly ranked second in strength, glanced at Sea Dragon Douluo and said calmly, "Well, although it is indeed unbelievable, Hailong is not a person who would shoot without a purpose. If even this premise cannot be confirmed, then there is no need to continue this meeting."

Sea Star Douluo also echoed in a deep voice: "If Lord Hailong's inference is correct, then now is the moment of life and death for us. Hai Nu, now is not the time for you to get upset."

"Tsk."

Sea Girl Douluo smacked her lips, but seeing that everyone nodded slightly after the two Saint Pillar Douluos spoke, she stopped talking.

Sea Dragon Douluo nodded and said in a deep voice: "According to the information from the sea soul masters and sea soul beasts, the mysterious strong man is very likely to have controlled the mermaids and the North Sea. We must find out the attitude of the mermaids now."

He turned to look at Hai Nu Douluo: "The situation is not clear now. I must go to the North Sea to explore the mermaid clan or the mysterious strong man's current attitude towards our Sea God Island. I need you, who have mermaid blood, to help me contact the mermaid clan."

"I see."

Sea Girl Douluo nodded solemnly.

Although the journey to the North Sea is extremely dangerous, everyone present here is strong and has extremely firm faith and loyalty, and they will not retreat here.

Especially when it comes to the respected great priest, Hai Nu Douluo has a feeling of obligation.

"Sea Dragon."

Sea Spear Douluo said: "This journey is dangerous and unpredictable. We may face a strong man who can defeat the Great Priest. You are the strongest among us, so you should stay at Sea God Island and I will go there."

After saying that, he glanced at the others and said sternly, "No objection, right?"

"I have objections."

Sea Ghost Douluo said coldly: "If that mysterious strong man really makes a move, no matter who goes, the result will be the same. I think it is enough for Sea Girl Douluo to go alone. There is no need for anyone to deal with it or come back to report. As long as she does not come back within the specified time, this fact is enough for us to confirm the situation."

Even the Sea Girl Douluo who was ready to die, when she heard Sea Ghost Douluo's words that he treated her as a tool, she was still so angry that her face turned pale and blue: "Old ghost, what kind of nonsense are you talking about!? I really want you to accompany me!"

"Quiet!"

Sea Dragon Douluo shouted, stopping the argument that was about to break out, and said in a deep voice: "Let me tell you what I think. First of all, it is impossible for the sea girl to go alone on this trip. At this time, every Saint Pillar Douluo is very important and cannot be easily abandoned. One day, if we really need to hide on the Sea God Island, and that mysterious strong man or the Deep Sea Demon Whale King comes, we can only resist by gathering the strength of seven people. You should all understand this."

This statement is true.

After a long period of gathering the thoughts of all living beings around Poseidon Island, a home field effect similar to the sanctuary in Saint Seiya has been formed.

The Seven Holy Pillars and the Great Priest can all obtain certain power blessings around the Seagod Island. The Holy Pillar Douluo relies on the Holy Pillars, while the Great Priest relies on the blessings of the Seagod Island itself and the Seagod Temple.

The blessings received by the Seven Holy Pillars are far less than those of the Great Priest, and they cannot directly call upon the divine power of the Temple of the Sea God like the Great Priest, but on the other hand, they can rely on the holy pillars of the same origin to connect their powers to each other and form a special battle formation.

The seven Holy Pillar Douluos are united by the connection of the Holy Pillar. Although none of them can compare to the great worshiper blessed by the Sea God Island, they can barely rival the ordinary Extreme Douluo.
