The words of the Purple-Garbed Soul Master had scarcely finished when the utterly resolute voices of the Shrek seven rang out, "Of course we do!"
Upon hearing this, the nearby Yellow-Garbed and White-Garbed Soul Masters just sneered secretly, scornfully thinking, "Another bunch of fools! Do they really think the Sea God's tests are a joke? Those are tests where a moment's inattention could cost them their lives!"
If that weren't the case, why would there be so few Land Soul Masters who could remain on Sea God's Island, to the point where there are almost none!!
No doubt about it! Most of them had perished during the trials!
The Purple-Garbed Soul Master frowned at their unanimous response, puzzledly asking, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
To his reminder, although these young Land Soul Masters were surprised, not a single one of them showed a hint of fear!
This sparked a touch of curiosity in him!
Besides, with their Soul King cultivation level, it was almost impossible for them to complete the Sea God's trials!!
Upon hearing the Purple-Garbed Soul Master's inquiry, Tang San and the others exchanged glances before breaking into light chuckles...
The former looked seriously at the Purple-Garbed Soul Master, his lips curling slightly as he said, "Of course we are afraid of death, but if being afraid could solve everything, we wouldn't have come here!"
Next to him, Ma Hongjun heartily agreed, "Exactly, we Shrek students are no cowards!"
Oscar chimed in with a grin, "We are members of Shrek after all, even if we die, we can't die in a pathetic way!"
The Purple-Garbed Soul Master pursed his dry lips, sighing, "Is that so? Well then, follow me, I'll take you to undergo the Sea God's trials!"
Since these Land Soul Masters were all ready to embrace death, he had nothing more to say. Whether they lived or died was up to their own fate!
When they heard the Purple-Garbed Soul Master was willing to take them to face the Sea God's trials, delight appeared on the faces of the Shrek students. Tang San nodded slightly, gratefully saying, "Then we thank you, elder!" Meanwhile, the two Yellow-Garbed Soul Masters and White-Garbed Soul Master nearby, seeing this, wanted to speak up to stop the Purple-Garbed Soul Master from helping these people...
But a cold glance from the Purple-Garbed Soul Master made them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and they instantly swallowed the words that were on the tip of their tongues!
Afterward, the Purple-Garbed Soul Master led the Shrek seven towards the location of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar...
...
Poseissi watched the strange phenomenon occurring to Xu Sheng, gripping his magic wand even tighter, filled with doubts thinking, "What's going on here? Could it be that a god from the Upper Realm is helping Xu Sheng obtain the Sea God's Trident??"
As Xu Sheng felt the Mark of Destruction on his forehead flash with a crimson light...
He didn't ponder over it and reached out for the Sea God's Trident once more...
Then, just when Xu Sheng no longer held any hope of lifting the trident and tried to pick it up, he suddenly found that it was much lighter than before!
Xu Sheng's pupils sparkled with intense anticipation, "There's a chance!"
If the Sea God's Trident had felt like tens of thousands of pounds before, now Xu Sheng could feel that its weight was at most only a few thousand pounds!!
Without even needing to think, Xu Sheng knew it must be the effect of the Mark of Destruction on his forehead!!
If it was only a few thousand pounds, then he could definitely lift it!
The Netherworld Ghostvine slowly grew from the ground, and nine crimson hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings began to appear under Xu Sheng's feet...
Xu Sheng clenched his teeth, instantly unleashing the greatest strength he could muster, and with a fierce pull, he wrenched the Sea God's Trident from the ice coffin!!
Staring at the Sea God's Trident in Xu Sheng's hand, Poseissi's beautiful eyes brimmed with intense shock, and she thought to herself, "What? He really took out the Sea God's Trident!!"
Moreover, the Soul Ring configuration at Xu Sheng's feet is terrifyingly powerful, with nine hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings. Such a thing has never appeared on the Continent!!
Should one say that he's indeed a man whose talent surpasses the Sea God's Nine Quests!!
Xu Sheng glanced at the Sea God's Trident in his hand, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, "I've finally taken out this great item!"
In Xu Sheng's hand, the extremely dark Sea God's Trident burst forth with dazzling golden light the next second, the pitch darkness receding slowly under the illumination of the light...
Immediately after, a new Sea God's Trident, exuding a terrifyingly powerful attack force, was revealed anew!
Xu Sheng's gaze turned to the somewhat stunned Poseissi, and he said with a smile, "Grand Elder, this super divine weapon should now belong to me, right?"
Poseissi came back to her senses, silently nodded and said, "Xu Sheng, since you've pulled out the Sea God's Trident, it naturally belongs to you now! And equally, you can also inherit the Sea God's godhood."
After hearing this, Xu Sheng shook his head and said softly, "There's no need for godhood. I already possess other godhoods, so I'll leave the Sea God's position for someone else."
Well, there you have it, he had just laundered the Sea God's super divine weapon, and who knows which unlucky person would end up as the Sea God without even a weapon to show for it.
Upon hearing Xu Sheng's refusal to accept the Sea God's inheritance, Poseissi couldn't help but fall silent...
That Xu Sheng would take the super divine weapon of the Sea God and yet not plan to inherit the Sea God was something Poseissi had not anticipated...
That being the case, doesn't it mean that the super divine weapon will be discontinued from this generation of Sea God onwards?
Moreover, Xu Sheng adhered to the rules set by the Sea God himself...
No matter how one looks at it, Xu Sheng is not in the wrong!
Therefore, she has no grounds whatsoever to ask Xu Sheng to hand over the Sea God's Trident!
Seeing Poseissi fall silent, Xu Sheng asked in confusion, "Grand Elder? What's the matter with you?"
Poseissi shook her head and said with a bitter smile, "Nothing much, it's just the first time I've seen someone with the qualifications for godhood choose not to inherit it!"
It's not like they could force Xu Sheng to inherit the Sea God's godhood, right? Especially now that Xu Sheng has already acquired the super divine weapon, she really wasn't confident about coming out on top!
...
Not long afterward, a mechanical voice once again resounded in Xu Sheng's mind, "Destruction God's Test, Fourth Examination, successful! All Soul Rings' ages increased by thirty thousand years!! Simultaneously triggering the God of Life's Trial, which will start from the Fifth Examination in conjunction with the Destruction God's Test, and the difficulty will be doubled!"
Xu Sheng couldn't help but take in a sharp breath of cold air, "Hiss, both godhoods undergoing the trial at the same time? And starting from the fifth trial, no wonder the two are a married couple!"
But he likes the straightforward and no-nonsense attitude of these two Divine Kings, the God of Life and the God of Destruction, and how they don't make things difficult for inheritors.
Looking back now, aside from the trial of confessing to Poseissi, which was a bit mentally challenging, the other examinations were as simple as can be!
Basically, there were no dangers or difficulties to speak of!
The next second, the mechanical voice sounded again, "Fusion God Examination, Fifth Trial! Without using any Soul Power, defeat all God Seven Children within three minutes! Failure will result in the loss of the right to inherit both the God of Destruction and the God of Life's godhoods!!"
