Mu Ci looked at the phantom of the sea god, but showed little fear.
It was a divine thought left behind by the sea god countless years ago. Who knows if it still has any power? At least the Jianmu tree and the power of abundance did not give any warning.
However, for the safety of the girls around you, it's best to be careful.
"God of the Sea, why did my two girlfriends fail the talent test?"
While the Sea God's divine sense was still in shock at the power of the rules that Mu Ci had mastered, he heard the question that the other party asked him.
My first instinct was to refuse, after all, he was a god, how could he answer a mortal's question?
But then he remembered the power of the rules he had just witnessed, and he stopped talking.
Although he had been asleep within the Heart of the Sea God for countless years and had no communication with the original body.
However, his experience told him that the boy in front of him was no ordinary person, even though he did not sense any aura of divine examination from him.
But to have comprehended the power of rules at such a young age, one must be either a born prodigy or a peerless genius who appears only once in countless millennia.
But neither of these options is easy to handle. He can't afford to offend the divine child; what if he accidentally offends a powerful figure?
As for demons, they cannot be offended either. He knows all too well the terror of those who embody the very essence of heaven and earth. If one fails to kill them in one battle, it means one has provoked an unparalleled enemy. Such a brainless thing cannot be done.
Moreover, he doesn't have much power right now. Without returning to Seagod Island to replenish his faith power, he's already doing well just to maintain his own existence.
"Your two girlfriends are indeed among the most talented in the world, and even their attributes are very suitable, but unfortunately, they cannot pass the test according to the standards set by me."
Mu Ci frowned again, even more puzzled. If the talent attributes were all there, then why couldn't he pass the test?
The sea god, being an old and shrewd man, immediately understood the meaning behind Mu Ci's expression.
"Sigh, you don't need to ask me. This assessment was set up by the main body. I really don't know the specifics. I just know that I can sense those who meet the requirements."
"I won't say any more, my divine power is insufficient."
After saying that, without waiting for Mu Ci to ask any further questions, he transformed into a beam of blue light and entered the Heart of the Sea God.
This time, the Heart of the Sea God didn't emit even a ray of light; it simply transformed into a triangular crystal dome.
Mu Ci sighed and had no intention of asking any further questions.
He realized that this divine thought was simply a sensing device, and the Sea God himself did not leave any extra information.
Chapter 69 The Strange Things About the Sea God
Having grasped the general information, Mu Ci didn't dwell on it too much.
Turning to Qian Renxue, he said, "Alright, Sister Xue, you can take this back and hand it in."
When Mu Ci spoke, all the women breathed a long sigh of relief, including Qian Renxue.
Although her family also worships deities, for thousands of years, the ancestral god has never performed any miracles, let alone appeared in the form of divine thoughts.
So even she was a little frightened by the appearance of the sea god this time.
Upon hearing Mu Ci's words, Qian Renxue immediately stepped forward and used her soul tool to retrieve the Heart of the Sea God, but her expression towards Mu Ci was somewhat strange.
Mu Ci also saw the other person and gestured to Qian Renxue to go outside to talk.
Then, Mu Ci looked at the four women and felt somewhat apologetic towards the Bingyue sisters.
"I'm sorry, Bing'er and Yue'er, I've made you happy for nothing."
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er both shook their heads, indicating that it was nothing.
“Brother Mu Ci, since Yue’er and I don’t meet the requirements, then we won’t force it.”
"Anyway, the information we've learned today has already shocked us quite a bit."
Shui Bing'er's words made Dugu Yan and Huo Wu, who were standing to the side, nod in agreement.
Today they learned that there are actually gods above Soul Masters, which greatly broadened their horizons.
Seeing that none of the four people showed any extreme emotions, Mu Ci felt much relieved.
After comforting them and telling them to go back to their cultivation, Mu Ci led Qian Renxue back to the reception room.
Seeing that only she and Mu Ci were left in the scene, Qian Renxue finally had the opportunity to ask Mu Ci about the Heart of the Sea God.
"Young man, I never knew that the national treasure of the Heavenly Dou Empire was actually the Sea God's artifact. This is truly astonishing."
"But if we do that, do we still have to return it? What if someone passes the test?"
Mu Ci smiled and looked at Qian Renxue, saying, "It's up to you now. I brought this over so that Bing'er and Yue'er could try it out."
"Since it didn't pass, I'm not interested in it anymore. If you're really worried, you can hide it away."
"As for passing the test, it's difficult! Not to mention whether anyone has a higher talent than Bing'er, this thing is not something that everyone can see."
In Mu Ci's opinion, since Shui Bing'er failed, the only one who could theoretically pass the test in Douluo Continent was Tang San, who was still playing house at Notting Academy.
Moreover, with him around, the process has completely deviated from the original story. Tang San will no longer have the opportunity to detoxify Emperor Xue Ye and then obtain the Heart of the Sea God.
However, this point still puzzled Mu Ci.
What exactly is it about Shui Bing'er that makes her inferior to Tang San?
Twin martial souls?
But there's only one divine position to inherit, isn't the Ultimate Ice Phoenix much stronger than the Blue Silver Emperor?
Other variables? Xuan Tian Gong? But Shui Bing'er also has the Medicine King's secret technique taught by Mu Ci!
What are the differences between the same meridian cultivation system?
Could it be due to a soul from another world? But it wasn't said that the Sea God did it, and besides, he doesn't have the ability to pull such a stunt in front of the five great god-kings.
Qian Renxue observed Mu Ci's furrowed brows from the side, took two steps closer, and said in a gentle tone, "Are you still thinking about what just happened?"
Mu Ci nodded, without denying it.
Just as Mu Ci was about to speak, a flash of inspiration struck her.
I thought of Poseidon's explanation of the Sea God's ascension to godhood in the original work, as well as her explanation of the lifespan of Title Douluo.
Mu Ci looked at Qian Renxue with some excitement.
"Sister Xue, do you think a peerless Douluo can live to be a thousand years old?"
Upon hearing Mu Ci's question, Qian Renxue shook her head and denied it without even thinking.
"That's impossible! All the high priests of my Qian family throughout the generations have been peerless Douluo, but the ancestor who held the position for the longest time in the records only lived for a little over three hundred and twenty years."
"Even in the biography of the God Ancestor, the Angel God Ancestor only lived for about two hundred years before ascending to the God Realm."
"To put it another way, according to the records of the Douluo Hall in Wuhun City, there are no titled Douluo who have lived to be over four hundred years old in the entire Douluo Continent."
"The longest-lived peerless Douluo only lived for 346 years, and that was because his martial soul was of an extremely long-lived type."
Hearing Qian Renxue say this, Mu Ci's thoughts suddenly became clear.
Mu Ci did not doubt whether Qian Renxue's data was incorrect.
After all, the Douluo Palace is the final resting place that almost all titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent yearn for, and it is the supreme hall for Soul Masters.
It can be said that, apart from some fallen Title Douluo Soul Masters, the Douluo Hall has recorded and buried almost all Title Douluo who died of old age.
Information about the sea god kept flowing through Mu Ci's mind.
The Sea Princess, the Sea Witch Douluo, the Sea God, Tang San, a lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary humans—everything points to one thing.
The Sea God is closely related to the Sea Spirit Beasts, and is very likely similar to Tang San.
This also explains why Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, who were so well-suited, were not approved by the Sea God, while Tang San was able to pass directly.
Mu Ci suddenly understood; according to this logic, everything at present made sense.
"Thank you, Sister Xue. Your words have helped me understand a lot."
Qian Renxue was puzzled. She had only answered a very small question, so how could she have understood so many things?
However, Qian Renxue did not delve into the matter and bid farewell to Mu Ci.
Now that the matter is settled, I can go back and send a message to Xueye, and also consider how to deal with this thing.
Mu Ci nodded and saw Qian Renxue out of the Dugu residence.
-
Spirit world.
In the depths of the endless sea, in a temple.
The sea god, who was in the middle of his meditation, suddenly opened his eyes, his brows furrowed.
He was somewhat surprised to receive a message from the divine thoughts within the Sea God's Heart, which had been out of contact for a long time.
However, the gods process information extremely quickly, and they figured out the ins and outs almost instantly.
However, even after understanding the cause and effect, the sea god did not relax and his brows remained furrowed.
"The Ice Phoenix Martial Soul of Ultimate Ice and the Water-type True Dragon Martial Soul with innate full soul power are both promising talents!"
To be honest, the sea god didn't really care whether his successor was similar to him; that condition wasn't very important to him.
The deities themselves actually have a great deal of autonomy over the conditions for the succession of their divine positions.
If you like someone, you can greatly reduce all the conditions, and it's even possible to directly intervene and help them out.
Aside from some unavoidable mandatory requirements, such as gender restrictions on divine positions, other deities can actually offer assistance.
But if you don't like it.
I'm sorry!
Even if you perfectly meet the requirements and pass the divine test in the Land of Inheritance, the gods can still prevent you from passing.
It all depends on what the deity means.
"What a pity. It's all because you have descendants of angels by your side. I was thinking about how to expand the faith in the Sea God to the Douluo Continent."
After thinking about all this, Poseidon thought of the only man among the group of women, Mu Ci, who had comprehended the power of special rules.
"From the perception of divine sense, that rule is extremely close to the law of life, but why is there no sign of divine testing on my body?"
Poseidon was completely baffled.
