Inside the Sea God Temple, atop the three-tiered platform!
Dugu Yan sat upright, the Sea God Trident laid horizontally in front of her. Her gaze was firm, and her expression solemn. Across from her stood High Priest Bo Saixi.
Bo Saixi's face was calm, with a gentle smile as she looked at Dugu Yan. Raising her staff, she spoke in a voice filled with devotion and determination.
"Respected Sea God, your faithful servant prays to you here, hoping you will descend with divine might and let the glory of the Sea God once again shine across the entire ocean!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a brilliant golden light erupted from her body, coalescing into a towering figure behind her—the Sea God, her martial soul.
Beneath her feet, soul rings rose one after another—eight black and one red. This was not the first time she had summoned her martial soul, but this time, Bo Saixi was giving it her all. The Sea God's phantom became incredibly solid, resonating with the entire Sea God Temple and channeling an immense amount of divine power—a force infinitely close to that of a god.
On Sea God Island, as the Sea God's servant, Bo Saixi possessed power unmatched by anyone below the level of a god. Even against a god, she could trade her life for theirs.
The same principle applied to the Spirit Hall. Bibi Dong wanted to destroy the Angel Clan, but even if she became a god, it would be difficult for her to kill Qian Daoliu and destroy the Douluo Hall before the faith in the Angel God was exhausted.
To achieve her goal, Bibi Dong would first need to destroy the faith in the Angel God. Otherwise, the Angel Clan would eventually rise again.
Returning to the present, the Sea God's phantom grew even more solid. The golden light filled every corner of the Sea God Temple, bringing a sense of warmth, as if embraced by the ocean.
However, the seven Sea God Pillar guardians wore expressions of sorrow. They knew that Bo Saixi was sacrificing herself. They could not stop her, for this was the honor of the High Priest and the liberation Bo Saixi sought.
At the center of the light, Bo Saixi's figure grew fainter, as if she were burning with blue-gold flames. When her figure finally disappeared, the blue-gold flames reached their peak.
Under the burning flames, the Sea God's phantom dispersed into countless points of light, which then recombined to form a blue-gold portal within the flames.
To sustain the portal, the seven Sea God Pillar guardians stepped forward. Each summoned their martial souls, using their power as Title Douluos to support the weight of the portal.
Sea Dragon Douluo spoke solemnly.
"Your Grace, please proceed to accept the inheritance. This portal will remain until your return."
Hearing this, Dugu Yan stood up, holding the Sea God Trident. She glanced at the seven Sea God Pillar guardians and said, "Thank you!"
Then, her gaze swept over Chen Yuan, Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing. Her eyes grew even more determined as she strode forward and stepped into the blue-gold portal.
Except for Chen Yuan, who knew some of the details and remained calm, the others—Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing—were covering their mouths in shock.
The Sea God's inheritance required Bo Saixi's sacrifice to initiate. How cruel was that?

Inside the blue-gold portal!
After entering, Dugu Yan found herself in a bizarre, kaleidoscopic passage. The Sea God Trident in her hand—more precisely, the Sea God's Heart embedded in the trident—released a surge of blue-gold energy.
The energy spread out, enveloping Dugu Yan's body in a spherical shield. Not only did it protect her, but it also guided her toward the end of the passage.
Dugu Yan did not resist, following the guidance of the Sea God's Heart as she made her way to the end of the passage, where a blue barrier stood.
Seeing the barrier blocking her path, Dugu Yan frowned. However, the blue-gold energy shield around her did not stop. When it collided with the blue barrier, it seamlessly merged with it, allowing Dugu Yan to pass through effortlessly.
This was the advantage of having the Sea God's Heart. For a god like the Sea God, who was eager to pass on his legacy, there was no need to set up unnecessary obstacles for his successor. Everything had been carefully arranged.
After passing through the blue barrier, Dugu Yan arrived in a unique realm. The sky was blue, the ground was blue, and in the midst of this blue world stood a majestic temple.
The temple was enormous, towering 200 meters high. Its divine aura was overwhelming, making anyone who saw it feel insignificant and filled with awe.
"The Sea God Temple?!"
Dugu Yan was startled. Although this temple was incredibly vast, it bore a striking resemblance to the Sea God Temple on Sea God Island and Sea God Mountain.
"Or perhaps, this is the true Sea God Temple, the residence of the Sea God."
Having guessed the truth, Dugu Yan had no reason to retreat. She steadied her emotions and strode into the temple. Inside, she saw a towering giant dressed in a blue robe adorned with golden patterns, seated on a throne studded with gemstones.
The giant was not particularly handsome, but he exuded a profound majesty, standing as the center of the Sea God Temple, towering above all else.
Dugu Yan understood that this giant was the true Sea God. She took a deep breath and spoke with neither humility nor arrogance.
"Please begin the trial, Sea God."
The Sea God, Poseidon, waved his hand, and his majestic voice echoed throughout the temple.
"Go!"
In a flash of blue-gold light, Dugu Yan felt the world spin around her. She was then transported to the true inheritance site, where she would begin her trial.
After Dugu Yan disappeared, Poseidon chuckled, his earlier majesty completely gone. He looked no different from an ordinary person.
"Although she's not the most perfect heir I had in mind, with her connection to the Asura God, she won't disgrace the Sea God's majesty in the divine realm."
At that moment, another figure entered the Sea God Temple. Though not as tall as Poseidon, this figure wore blood-red demonic armor and radiated a killing intent so sharp it could tear the heavens and earth apart. Even within the Sea God Temple, his presence exerted a certain pressure on Poseidon.
This figure was none other than the Asura God. His cold voice rang out.
"Your inheritance has begun, hasn't it?"
Poseidon stood up to greet him, grinning.
"It has. With the protection of the Sea God's Heart, as long as that girl's will is strong enough, there's no chance of failure."
The Asura God nodded slightly, a flicker of emotion passing through his blood-red eyes.
"It's been so many years. Finally, there's a successor worthy of inheriting my divine position. Once my successor ascends, I can leave with peace of mind. Although the divine realm is vast, I've always felt constrained."
Poseidon quickly moved closer, eager to curry favor with this powerful figure.
"Let's go together. As the Sea God, I might just conquer the stars and the seas…"
