Chapter 292: Tang Chen's Transaction, the Shura Sword
"It's the voice of the Seagod."
Upon hearing Poseidon's words, Poseidon stood up.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Chen asked with concern, observing Poseidon's actions.
He gripped the High Priest's scepter tightly and sighed softly, "I should return to Seagod Island. The succession to the throne has reached its final stage, and I need to return to preside over it."
"What!?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Chen also stood up, a hint of shock in his eyes.
The Seagod throne had a successor, and it had reached its final stage. Doesn't that mean...
"Tang Chen, have you forgotten me? Although you haven't completed the Shura God's test, as a demigod, you still have a long life ahead of you. I'm lucky to have met you today," Poseidon suddenly said to Tang Chen.
Although she felt a little reluctant, she was the High Priestess of Seagod Island, and waiting for the successor of the Seagod was her mission.
She was lucky. So many high priests had died without ever waiting for the successor to Lord Poseidon, but she had. From that perspective, she should be happy.
Hearing Poseidon's words, Tang Chen smiled wryly and said, "I only have a few days left!"
"What!?"
Poseidon was startled, and immediately released his spiritual power to explore Tang Chen's body.
He soon understood Tang Chen's condition. The conflict between the two divine powers had destroyed his body. Survival was impossible except through divine intervention.
Tang Chen then said to Poseidon, "Take me back to Poseidon Island. Perhaps I can help you survive."
At the top of the cliffs of Jutao, Mo Hui, sensing something, suddenly glanced in a certain direction and said calmly, "Are you back?"
The next moment, two beams of light, one blue and one red, descended behind him. It was Poseidon and Tang Chen who had rushed back to Poseidon Island.
Arriving before Mo Hui, Poseidon immediately said, "Lord Mo Hui, I'm back!"
Mo Hui nodded slightly, then set his sights on Tang Chen, who stood beside him.
Tang Chen was a remarkable figure on the Douluo Continent, having single-handedly brought the Clear Sky Clan to the pinnacle and created numerous powerful spirit abilities. The Great Sumeru Hammer Ring Explosion, in particular, was arguably the most powerful spirit ability in the Douluo world, surpassed only by the Sea God's Thirteen Golden Halberds.
"So this is the Sea God's successor, Mo Hui?"
Meanwhile, Tang Chen was sizing him up, wondering just who he was to earn the Sea God's respect.
In Tang Chen's eyes, Mo Hui stood with his hands behind his back, towering above the vast expanse of the vast waves. His azure coat rustled in the wind, and his dark eyes gazed upon him with a calm, unwavering gaze, as if a god were looking down upon a mortal.
"What a shame I wasn't born in the same era as him, otherwise my life would have been so much more exciting."
After a moment, Tang Chen couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Poseidon had told him a lot about Mo Hui's deeds during his visit to Seagod Island, so Tang Chen had gotten to know him quite well.
Poseidon described Mo Hui as a man of exceptional talent, reaching the rank of Soul Emperor at just sixteen, without the aid of the Divine Test. This intrigued the Seagod, who was determined to pass the throne to him at all costs.
His performance after undergoing the Seagod's Divine Test was even more remarkable. He cleared the first test in a single day, and in order to pass the second, he spent just two weeks creating a powerful, original spirit skill.
His combat prowess was truly incredible. Even before becoming a Titled Douluo, he defeated the combined might of the seven Saint Pillar Douluos of Seagod Island, achieving a combat power comparable to that of a level ninety-eight.
After reaching level ninety-six, even the Ultimate Douluo, Poseidon, was no match for him. He then single-handedly defeated the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, a million-year-old spirit beast that had previously challenged the Sea God, and quickly ascended to level ninety-nine. His record was truly terrifying.
In fact, if Tang Chen had bothered to inquire, he would have known that Mo Hui had actually been the strongest champion of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition, single-handedly defeating the Spirit Hall's golden generation.
But that didn't matter. Before Mo Hui's previous achievements, the title of Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition was nothing short of insignificant.
Tang Chen now felt a pity that such a genius couldn't compete with his peers. If there had been someone like Mo Hui in his generation, his fate might have been different.
Thinking of this, Tang Chen couldn't help but shake his head. He looked at Mo Hui and said, "Sir Mo Hui, I have a request. I wonder if you can agree to it!"
"Tell me!" Mo Hui said calmly.
Although he and Tang Hao had some grudges, Tang Chen was unaware of it. Moreover, the other was nearing death, so asking him to speak was not a big deal.
Tang Chen drew the Shura Sword from a nearby space and explained to Mo Hui, "The final test of the Seagod Divine Trial concerns Poseidon's life. This is the Shura Sword. I've already completed the first eight tests. If you, Lord Mo Hui, choose to forgo the Seagod Divine Trial, I can give you the Shura Sword, allowing you to immediately inherit the throne of the Shura God!"
As if to avoid a lack of appeal, Tang Chen added, "From what I've learned, the Shura God's throne seems to be even more powerful than the Seagod's. Inheriting the Shura God's throne will be a win for you."
"Tang Chen..."
Poseidon looked at Tang Chen with mixed emotions after hearing his words.
She had been prepared to die, but she hadn't expected Tang Chen to want her to live.
But soon, Poseidon took a deep breath. After meeting Tang Chen, her last remaining concern had dissipated. Finding a successor for Lord Seagod was the mission of their Seagod Island. Even if Tang Chen offered to save her life, she wouldn't accept.
She had died without regrets, and returning to the arms of the Sea God might be a better choice for Poseidon now.
Then, Poseidon stopped Tang Chen from saying anything else and continued, "Tang Chen, don't say any more. I know you mean well and don't want me to die. However, it is the mission of the High Priest of our Sea God Island to select a successor for Lord Sea God. Now I have waited for the opportunity that many predecessors of Sea God Island have never waited for. You should be happy for me."
Hearing this, Tang Chen sighed and stopped.
He really wanted Poseidon to live. Even if he was dead and could no longer be with Poseidon, he did not regret it.
But since this was Poseidon's choice, he could only respect it.
