Chapter 298: Douluo Continent: Many Love Triangles.
"Lord Poseidon, what on earth has happened?"
However, after Sea Dragon Douluo uttered this, the Sea Girl Douluo beside him suddenly covered her mouth. Looking at the now-loli-like Poseidon, she exclaimed in surprise, "You are... Lord Poseidon?"
"What!?"
Upon hearing Sea Girl Douluo's words, the other six Holy Pillar Douluos were startled, and they all quickly glanced at the little girl they had previously ignored.
It wouldn't have mattered if they hadn't looked, but upon first glance, they realized that the teenage girl before them bore the same appearance and aura as their deceased Lord Poseidon.
Without Sea Girl Douluo's warning, they might have mistaken her for Poseidon's daughter. But now that Sea Girl Douluo had confirmed it, they could be certain it was Poseidon.
Due to the unique nature of mermaids, their lifespans are much longer than humans. Having seen Poseidon as a child, Sea Girl Douluo's words were unlikely to be wrong.
But wasn't Lord Poseidon dead? Why was she here, and in the form of a little girl?
At this thought, everyone present looked at Mo Hui in confusion.
Seeing this, Mo Hui chuckled and said, "You guessed correctly. This girl is none other than your High Priestess. She has been resurrected by the old Sea God."
High Priestess resurrected?
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo all lit up. They had been mourning Poseidon's death, but they hadn't expected the Sea God to be so merciful as to resurrect their High Priestess.
"Thank you, Lord Sea God!"
The next moment, Sea Horse Douluo immediately made a prayer gesture and bowed toward the Sea God's Temple.
Seeing this, the other Sea Maidens, Sea Dragons, Sea Spears, and others also bowed toward the Sea God's Temple.
Then, Sea Dragon Douluo addressed Poseidon, "High Priestess, since you've been resurrected, the position of High Priestess shall be returned to its rightful owner."
He then offered to return the High Priestess' scepter to Poseidon.
However, when Sea Dragon Douluo offered her the scepter, Poseidon merely touched it briefly with a complex expression before pushing it back.
Faced with a look of confusion and surprise, Poseidon shook her head.
She softly said, "I was the High Priestess of the old Sea God, but times have changed."
With a quick glance at Mo Hui, Poseidon smiled, "A new Sea God has emerged, and naturally, a new High Priest is needed. Hailong, I believe you will do a better job than I did!"
Normally, only those who had passed the Red Level assessment were eligible for the High Priest position. However, Sea God Island currently had no Red Level candidates, so they had to choose the tallest among the short ones.
However, now that their Sea God had appeared, the High Priest's strength was no longer crucial.
"How can that be possible..."
"Hailong, you will be the High Priest from now on. Poseidon has other plans!"
Sea Dragon Douluo was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Mo Hui's voice.
Seeing that it was Mo Hui who spoke, Hai Long gave up the idea of persuading Poseidon to become the high priest. He bowed respectfully to Mo Hui and said, "I will obey your will, Lord Poseidon!"
Mo Hui nodded slightly, then grabbed Poseidon and disappeared in a flash.
The next moment, Mo Hui and Poseidon appeared in Mo Hui's courtyard.
Then, Mo Hui let go of Poseidon's hand, turned his back to Poseidon and said, "What are your plans next?"
"What are my plans?"
Mo Hui's words plunged Poseidon into deep thought. Yes! What should she do?
Although she had refused to stay in the God Realm, choosing to return to live with her friends, without the burden of being a high priestess, she felt a momentary uncertainty.
After a moment's thought, Poseidon replied, "I think I'll spend Tang Chen's final days with him, and then slowly cultivate on Seagod Island."
It had been two days since Tang Chen regained consciousness, and his life was almost over. Death was imminent. For the love of his past, Poseidon naturally wanted to accompany him through his final days.
"That sounds like something you should do,"
Mo Hui said, his lips curling slightly. Turning to Poseidon, he suggested, "Are you interested in exploring the mainland?"
"Explore the mainland?"
Poseidon was taken aback. She hadn't expected Mo Hui to say such a thing.
But after a moment's reflection, her eyes lit up.
She had mostly stayed on Sea God Island, the only time she'd ventured out was to visit Tang Chen. For over a hundred years, it would be a lie to say she had no interest in the mainland. She'd seen quite a few interesting things on her previous trips to the mainland.
Seeing this, Mo Hui smiled faintly. "So you've thought about it. Then, come with me to the mainland. I need a genius to emerge there."
While the overall quality of the younger generation of soul masters on the mainland has improved somewhat in recent years, Mo Hui still considered them a bunch of rubbish.
Therefore, Mo Hui decided to manually deploy some of these geniuses as "catfish" to promote the advancement of soul masters and further elevate soul master civilization.
After all, since they were already here, they had to leave something behind.
Mo Hui even considered the possibility that if the number of Douluo masters increased enough, would the world of Douluo Continent change?
However, he quickly dismissed the idea. While it might have been possible during the Douluo III era, it was now Douluo One, and with the suppression of the Divine Realm, the possibility of Douluo Continent ascending to a higher dimension was slim.
As soon as Mo Hui spoke, Poseidon excitedly exclaimed, "Your will is at your command, Master Mo Hui!"
Did Master Mo Hui mean to teach those little brats a lesson? That sounded quite interesting.
Poseidon's mind, somewhat rejuvenated by her physical rejuvenation, felt a pang of joy as she listened to Mo Hui's words.
"Then, Master Mo Hui, shall I be leaving first?"
Poseidon asked cautiously, looking at Mo Hui.
Mo Hui nodded and waved, "Go!"
Mo Hui naturally knew what Poseidon was up to. Wasn't she just going to see Tang Chen? He was almost dead, so what kind of heartless person was he?
But thinking of this, Mo Hui couldn't help but lament the sheer number of love triangles in the world of Douluo Continent. Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong, and Liu Erlong were one, Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and Ah Yin were another, and Poseidon, Tang Chen, and Qian Daoliu were yet another.
That was already three, and there were some bizarre relationships involved, encompassing such a wide range of issues—it was simply outrageous.
Meanwhile, Poseidon, having walked out of Mo Hui Courtyard, realized she had no soul power at all. With Seagod Island being so vast, how could she possibly find Tang Chen?
At her current rate, wouldn't he be dead by the time she found him?
