After a long while, just as Seahorse Douluo didn't know what to do, the weather above Sea God Island rapidly changed. They felt as if they'd fallen into the brilliant and bright depths of the deep sea.
Countless spirit beasts swam in the sky, gradually dispersing. A golden light shone down from the "sea surface," and a beautiful woman wearing red and silver High Priestess robes slowly descended from the curtain of light, walking in front of Ignaz.
"Greetings, High Priestess!"
All the Spirit Masters on Sea God Island bowed toward where the High Priestess stood. At this moment, Seahorse Douluo stood respectfully beside Bo Saixi. He had many questions he wanted Bo Saixi to answer.
Before he could speak, Bo Saixi said in a sacred yet gentle voice,
"Hello, Ignaz. The Sea God has long foreseen your arrival. You must break through to rank 98 Titled Douluo before the Sea God can bestow the inheritance upon you."
What Bo Saixi said wasn't just an explanation for the Spirit Masters of Sea God Island to hear, but more importantly, to convey the Sea God's latest decree.
When Seahorse Douluo heard this, he was stunned on the spot. No way, the conditions for the Son of God to inherit the Sea God's divine position were actually this harsh?
He recalled how the seven of them as offerings, at the Spirit King or Spirit Emperor level, could directly participate in the Sea God's trials and obtain improvements in cultivation and spirit ring age limits. Yet Ignaz had to break through to rank 98 before he could officially begin the Sea God's inheritance. Wasn't this making things a bit too difficult?
At this moment, Dugu Yan and the others had the same thoughts. Although they had no doubts about whether Ignaz could break through to rank 98 Titled Douluo,
the trials for divine inheritance were just too difficult, weren't they?
Bo Saixi didn't address their confusion. Instead, she said to Seahorse Douluo,
"Since these six children were brought here by Ignaz, I'll open the Sea God's trials for them!"
As the staff symbolizing the High Priestess's authority trembled slightly, three black lights and three red lights descended simultaneously, enveloping all six of Dugu Yan's group.
"High Priestess, what's going on with those three red lights?"
This was the first time Seahorse had seen three red lights descend simultaneously. This meant that among the six people receiving trials, three could become successors to Sea God Island's High Priestess position in the future.
The position of Sea God Island's High Priestess had always been singular. How could three appear at the same time?
Did the Sea God make a mistake, or was the High Priestess showing favoritism to the Son of God?
Not only was Seahorse Douluo confused, even the person involved, Bo Saixi, was very puzzled. What on earth was going on?
Before long, as the light faded, Ignaz looked with great curiosity at the Sea God trial cards in the six people's hands.
"Top-level seven trials, top-level seven trials, still top-level seven trials!"
He looked at Shui Bing'er, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling in succession. All three of them uniformly held the top-level seven trials symbolizing the High Priestess successor position, while Zhu Zhuqing, Yang Yong, and Niu Nan respectively corresponded to black-rank four trials, black-rank four trials, and purple-rank three trials.
After this incident, Ignaz couldn't believe his eyes. Even if the three girls had excellent talent, three High Priestess successors shouldn't appear simultaneously, right?
After Bo Saixi calmed her confused emotions, she looked seriously at Ignaz and said,
"Ignaz, you haven't obtained your sixth spirit ring yet, and the first trial of these three girls' red-rank seven trials is to assist you in killing the Evil Spirit Orca King. Aside from me, you may choose any Sea God Island offering to accompany you to the Evil Spirit Orca's waters."
"The chosen offering will also assist you in killing the Evil Spirit Orca King, but can only use their first seven spirit abilities."
"What? Their first trial is actually to assist me in hunting the Evil Spirit Orca King? What kind of crazy logic is this? Shouldn't it be crossing through the Sea God's Light?"
Ignaz's entire understanding was overturned. You have to know these three were only Spirit Kings, and even Dugu Yan, who had the highest level, was only rank 55. He himself wasn't confident he could solo kill the 100,000-year Evil Spirit Orca King.
The Sea God actually wanted these three weak girls to assist him. What difference was there between this and sending them to their deaths?
Ignaz looked curiously at Shui Bing'er and the others. The three didn't speak but silently nodded, indicating to Ignaz that this was true.
"Calm down, stay calm."
It was just the first trial, nothing major. Wasn't there still an additional condition? He could choose any Titled Douluo to go with them.
At this moment, Seahorse was following Bo Saixi's instructions, gradually introducing the six great offerings of Sea God Island to Ignaz.
"Have you decided? The time limit is only six months."
Hearing this, Ignaz thought briefly, then immediately said,
"I choose the Second Offering, Sea Dragon Your Excellency, to go with me."
"Excellent, you're quite clever, kid. Sea Dragon Douluo's Devil-Breaking Domain is the nemesis of all domains. With his help, hunting the Evil Spirit Orca King will become much easier for you."
Regarding this, Ignaz had no other choice. Sea Dragon Douluo was undoubtedly his greatest help in hunting the Evil Spirit Orca King. As long as his Devil-Breaking Domain activated and completely destroyed the Evil Spirit Orca King's domain,
then with his own methods and Shui Bing'er and the others' combined attacks, they might not be unable to kill the Evil Spirit Orca King.
"Seahorse, first have them stay in Seahorse City. They are honored guests of our Sea God Island and must be well received."
"Yes."
Seeing that the main matters had been resolved, Bo Saixi headed toward the Sea God Temple on Sea God Mountain at the center of Sea God Island. Sometimes she wondered whether the first trial the Sea God presented was just too strange.
Under Seahorse Douluo's guidance, Ignaz and the six others soon arrived at Seahorse City.
"Your Excellency, thank you for your trouble."
"Son of God, you're too polite. When you want to set out to hunt the Evil Spirit Orca King, Sea Dragon will come."
After a few brief instructions, Seahorse Douluo left the hotel first and returned to the Seahorse Sacred Pillar to continue performing his duty of guarding Sea God Island.
Two days later, after everyone had rested and recovered, Zhu Zhuqing, Yang Yong, and Niu Nan went to the Sea God's Light beneath Sea God Mountain. Their trial was to cross through the Sea God's Light.
Meanwhile, Ignaz took Shui Bing'er and the other two, riding on the backs of four Demonic Great White Sharks toward the Evil Spirit Orca waters. Accompanying them was a dragon-horned man about 2.4 meters tall with a robust build, standing on a ten-meter-long blue sea dragon.
This person was none other than the helper Ignaz had chosen: Sea Dragon Douluo.
Even though Ignaz was already the Sea God's designated inheritor, due to Sea Dragon Douluo's own personality, he rarely spoke to Ignaz along the way.
"Big Brother Iggy, this Sea Dragon senior can only use his first seven spirit rings. Can we really defeat the 100,000-year sea spirit beast, the Evil Spirit Orca King, by joining forces?"
Facing the upcoming hunting operation, Shui Bing'er showed a worried expression.
