While Bo Saixi and the Seven Sacred Pillars were still in a state of shock,
Jin Mian focused his attention on the Sea God Temple in front of him.
For the simple reason that,
he had already been standing there for quite a while,
yet the system's sign-in prompt had not sounded in his mind.
"Strange?"
"Am I not already standing at the entrance of the Sea God Temple?"
"Why hasn't this system reacted at all?"
"Is there a delay?"
"Or do I have to go inside for it to count?"
Jin Mian wondered to himself.
Meanwhile, Bo Saixi had recovered from her shock.
She reverted to her perennial ice-cold expression.
"You two, follow me."
She said this to Jin Mian and Qian Renxue.
She set off, her high heels clicking as she walked toward the Sea God Temple.
Jin Mian and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance,
then followed after her.
As for the Seven Sacred Pillars,
they were still deeply mired in shock over Jin Mian's heaven-defying level and talent, unable to pull themselves out.
On the way,
Bo Saixi looked at Qian Renxue and asked, "How has that old fellow Qian Daoliu been lately?"
"Auntie, you know my grandfather?" A hint of wariness couldn't help but appear in Qian Renxue's eyes.
Before coming here, she had heard that there was a woman on Sea God Island whom her grandfather could never forget.
However, despite her various inquiries afterward,
her grandfather refused to say a word.
Could it be this woman?
Qian Renxue scrutinized Bo Saixi carefully.
She had to admit,
whether in terms of looks or figure, this woman named Bo Saixi was top-tier.
Not to mention the temperament she possessed,
which was unique and incomparable.
But the most surprising thing was her eyes.
Her blue eyes were as clear as sapphires, yet the kindness and vicissitudes they held seemed to have settled over eternal ages.
They were even deeper than the ocean.
Hearing Qian Renxue call her 'Auntie',
Bo Saixi remained expressionless.
After all, it was the truth.
She was already one hundred and twenty years old now.
"I know him, and we are very well-acquainted."
"Back then, he and Tang Chen traveled thousands of miles from the continent to Sea God Island to challenge me."
"After the battle ended, both of them pursued me at the same time..."
Bo Saixi reminisced about the events of the past.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue thought,
Good grief!
It really was this woman.
But then again,
her grandfather's taste was indeed quite good.
For a stunning older single woman like Bo Saixi, any man would probably fall in love with her 100% of the time.
But she soon lowered that probability to 99%.
Because as they walked with such a beautiful woman,
Jin Mian kept his head down the entire time, completely ignoring Bo Saixi.
The reason Jin Mian was acting this way was that the moment he entered the Sea God Temple,
the system's notification sounded once again.
[Ding! Host detected within the Sea God Temple! Sign-in successful!]
[Reward: Sea God Trident (Divine Tool)!]
[Next sign-in location: Sun Moon Continent!]
"Oho!"
"The Sea God Trident, isn't that the Sea God's personal item?"
"If I remember correctly, this thing is supposed to be stored inside the Sea God Temple."
"If it suddenly goes missing..."
Thinking about what was about to happen,
Jin Mian felt like laughing.
Before long,
the three of them arrived inside the temple.
As was her custom,
Bo Saixi first went before the Sea God statue and offered a respectful prayer.
Jin Mian and Qian Renxue stood where they were.
After all, one was the successor of the Angel God,
and the other was the successor of the God of Destruction.
The Sea God had absolutely nothing to do with them.
After finishing her prayer,
Bo Saixi didn't notice that the Sea God Trident, which should have been lodged in another high platform, had vanished. Instead, she turned to look at Jin Mian.
Instead, she turned to look at Jin Mian.
"Jin Mian, are you willing to accept the Sea God's Godly Trial and become the next Sea God?"
"I'm not."
Jin Mian replied without even thinking.
"..."
Bo Saixi was stunned.
She immediately asked back, "Why? Do you realize that this is an opportunity to become a supreme deity?"
"I know."
"But the key is, I've already accepted a Godly Trial."
"And I've already completed the eighth trial."
"I can't accept a second Godly Trial."
As he spoke,
Jin Mian brushed aside the hair on his forehead,
revealing the imprint of the scepter of destruction.
"So that's how it is..."
Just as Bo Saixi was feeling regretful that Jin Mian couldn't accept the Sea God's trial,
the Sea God statue in front of them began to emit a deep blue light.
Poseidon transformed into a phantom and descended to the lower realm through the statue.
"High Priestess of Sea God Island, your faithful servant Bo Saixi, greets Lord Sea God!"
Seeing the Sea God descend,
Bo Saixi hurriedly knelt on the ground with respect.
"Mhm, rise."
After Posexi signaled Bo Saixi to stand up,
he turned his gaze toward Jin Mian.
"Young man."
"I see that you are destined for my Sea God Position!"
"From this day forth, become the successor of me, Poseidon!"
"Hahaha..."
Just as Jin Mian was about to say something,
the Sea God Temple was suddenly plunged into a dark, deep purple hue.
A curse followed immediately after.
"Poseidon, you son of a bitch, you actually dare to try and snatch someone from me?"
"Do you believe I'll use the Divine Lightning of Annihilation to blast you into ashes?!"
The God of Destruction had arrived.
He grabbed the Sea God's clothes with one hand while cursing, and condensed a purple-black lightning ball in the other.
It looked as if he was about to smash it into Poseidon's face.
In contrast to the high-and-mighty Poseidon of a moment ago,
he now completely lost his previous air of authority in front of the God of Destruction.
After all, everyone in the entire God Realm knew
that among the Five Great God Kings,
the God of Destruction before them had the most explosive temper!
He was extremely prone to rage and was uncontrollable.
When other God Kings got angry, they might still try to reason with you.
But this lord here
preferred to use violence to solve problems.
Regardless of the consequences,
he would strike first.
With a look of slight fear, he waved his hands and said, "Destruction! Why are you here?"
"I say, calm down!"
"Listen to my explanation, let me explain!"
"Calm down my ass!"
*Thwack!*
The God of Destruction irritably kicked Poseidon to the ground.
Seeing this scene,
Bo Saixi's worldview was shattered.
All along,
the Sea God had been a supreme, awe-inspiring existence in her heart.
Especially at the moment the Sea God descended just now,
she had been incredibly excited.
But now,
another deity
had grabbed the Sea God by the collar without giving him any face, making all sorts of threats,
and directly kicked the Sea God to the ground.
He even threatened to level the Sea God Temple.
And the Sea God,
faced with such threats,
not only showed no anger,
but was instead cowering.
At this moment, the filter she originally had for the Sea God shattered completely.
The Sea God was also starting to get angry now.
Even though you, the God of Destruction, are one of the Five Great God Kings,
you are being too unreasonable.
You don't even let people speak before attacking.
Not to mention,
this is his own territory.
Do you really think I'm afraid of you!
He raised his hand, intending to summon the Divine Tool, the Sea God Trident, stored in the temple.
To his surprise, even after holding his hand open for a long time,
there was no movement from the Sea God Trident at all.
He turned his head to look,
and was dumbfounded.
He couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Fuck! Where the hell is my Sea God Trident?! How is it gone?!"
With the Divine Tool and the home-field advantage, he could barely trade a few blows with the God of Destruction.
Without the Divine Tool, his combat power dropped significantly.
Poseidon quickly put on a smile: "Hehehe, Destruction, listen to my explanation."
