No wonder the Sea God showed goodwill towards him. It turned out that the God of Reincarnation had already made a name for himself in the God Realm, but there was one thing Li Qing didn't quite understand.
No matter how strong the God of Reincarnation was, before he truly inherited the God Position, he was ultimately just a mortal.
Moreover, once the Sea God passed on his God Position, he would leave the Douluo God Realm and wouldn't have much interaction with him in the future. Was there any need to show goodwill?
Could it be that the God of Reincarnation wasn't dead?
This was the only possibility Li Qing could think of; only if the God of Reincarnation was still alive would the Sea God's goodwill make sense.
Li Qing asked, "Is he still alive?"
The Sea God shook his head, "Don't overthink it. He has long since fallen. My goodwill is only towards you, after all, you are the partner of my inheritor."
Li Qing then asked, "Then who is presiding over my God Test?"
The Sea God said, "No one is presiding. Reincarnation arranged everything before his fall. However, there's a guy named Destruction who wanted to interfere,
but he's tried for a long time and hasn't succeeded."
Damn it!
This scoundrel, trying to harm me?
The Sea God smiled, "He merely wanted to show you a little goodwill. It's just that the countermeasures left by Reincarnation are very strong; he can't interfere at all."
Li Qing smiled.
It's good that he can't interfere. If even Destruction can't interfere, then basically no one in the God Realm can interfere with his God Test.
Bo Saixi looked at Li Qing, who was sound asleep on the futon in front of the Sea God statue, feeling a little lost. The reason for her distraction was that she knew why Li Qing had suddenly fallen asleep.
She had worshipped the Sea God for so many years and never had the right to speak to him, yet he could do so with just a casual remark.
From this point, it's not hard to see his specialness. The God behind him must be a more powerful existence than the Sea God, which is why the Sea God is so friendly to him.
A being more powerful than the Sea God, wanting to save a mortal, shouldn't be a difficult task.
It's just that she didn't know how to make Li Qing willing to help Tang Chen in the future. She didn't seem to have any bargaining chips to make the other party act.
Li Qing slowly woke up and sat up.
He chatted a lot with the Sea God in his 'dream' and gained more understanding of the God Realm, but the most important thing was knowing the attitudes of the Sea God and Destruction towards him.
With their support, he wouldn't encounter a ridiculous plot like a mechanical God descending before becoming a God, at least.
Bo Saixi walked closer, wanting to speak but hesitating.
She suddenly realized that she didn't know how to address Li Qing anymore. The other party could directly converse with the Sea God; his status and position even surpassed Leng Leng.
Calling him by his name seemed a bit impolite.
Li Qing: "I am still me, Senior. You don't need to overthink it; just call me by my name."
"Oh—alright."
Bo Saixi felt a bit awkward, as if her thoughts had been seen through, but she didn't say much more.
Li Qing continued, "I will leave Sea God Island in a few days. I entrust my companions to you. I have already discussed it with the Sea God; you no longer need to sacrifice for the God Test."
Bo Saixi's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.
Li Qing smiled without speaking.
Whether it was the Sea God or the Angel God, he already knew the reason why worshippers needed to sacrifice for the God Test.
In the Sea God's words.
The sacrifice of worshippers is to prevent the accidental fall of a deity, a kind of pre-emptive measure. Since the Sea God is still alive, Bo Saixi doesn't necessarily need to sacrifice.
"Thank you!"
Bo Saixi didn't know how to express her gratitude, finally just uttering two heavy words.
Leng Leng and the others' Tidal Body Tempering wasn't a matter of one or two days, so Li Qing didn't wait for them. He simply had Dugu Bo relay the message before leaving Sea God Island.
After returning to the mainland, Li Qing went straight to Death Canyon. He was very curious about what the special reward was.
"Sect Master!"
When Li Qing returned to Death Canyon, the living dead guarding outside the core area immediately stood up and saluted him.
Li Qing asked, "How are the preparations coming along?"
The living dead said, "The location has been chosen, and construction is currently underway. Everything else is also proceeding relatively smoothly, but Elder Hu Bi Tian said the Elephant Armored Academy is hopeless to win over."
Li Qing then asked, "What did Hu Bi Tian say?"
The living dead said, "Elder Hu Bi Tian said he would resolutely implement the Sect Master's will. Since they are determined to follow Spirit Hall, then don't blame him, their great-grandfather, for not showing old affection."
Li Qing nodded, "How is Lou Gao's side?"
The living dead said, "After Elder Casey informed him of the Sect Master's idea, he conducted a month of research, and then unhesitatingly agreed to join the Sect."
Li Qing's eyes lit up. Could it really work?
Tang San was able to subdue Lou Gao because of those exquisite Hidden Weapons, and Li Qing directly brought out the principles of firearms and had someone persuade him.
However, Li Qing wasn't clear about the specific structure of firearms; he only knew the general principle.
So he only gave him a direction.
Lou Gao agreed after a month of research, which means he must have researched some clues during that month, at least he should have found a certain feasibility, right?
Otherwise, why would he agree to join?
Heh heh.
If he really manages to research firearms, that would be interesting.
No matter how exquisite Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons are, they are ultimately just Hidden Weapons. Firearms can already be considered a dimensionality reduction strike. At that time, it wouldn't be impossible for mortals to slay Gods.
After all, the Gods of the Douluo World are truly not of a high enough caliber.
As for whether the birth of firearms would threaten him, Li Qing wasn't worried at all, because although he couldn't guarantee victory against a God in his current combat power, his self-preservation ability was absolutely no problem.
Reincarnation, Reincarnation, controlling life and death is called Reincarnation.
Although he hasn't become a God yet, the intent of Reincarnation has gradually begun to manifest. When he truly becomes a God, he will definitely not be comparable to the Gods in the Douluo God Realm.
This is also why Asura couldn't even withstand ten moves from Reincarnation.
Li Qing instructed, "Tell Casey and the others, anyone who dares to covet Lou Gao's research results, kill them without mercy. If they can't solve it, notify me immediately."
The living dead bowed, "Yes!"
After Li Qing clarified the specific location of the Sect, he sent them away, and then directly entered the core area.
"Click, click, click."
Li Qing came to the altar, and just as he was wondering where the special reward was, a series of mechanical sounds suddenly came from the altar, and then the altar actually split in the middle.
Revealing a passage leading underground.
Li Qing didn't hesitate at all and stepped directly into it. The moment he entered the passage, the altar closed again.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"
The moment the altar closed, on the stone walls to the left and right of the passage, 'purple fire oil lamps' automatically lit up, and the entire appearance of the passage was fully presented before his eyes.
The stone walls were as black as ink, like obsidian, and the surface was not smooth.
The passage was about three meters wide and high, a staircase leading downwards, bottomless. No one knew what was at the end of the passage.
