Chapter 69: The Strangeness of the Sea God
After understanding the general information, Mu Ci didn't worry too much.
He turned to look at Qian Renxue and said, "Alright, Sister Xue, take this thing back and report it."
When the girls heard Mu Ci speak, they all breathed a sigh of relief, even Qian Renxue was no exception.
Although her Qian family also worshipped gods, the gods had never performed miracles in thousands of years, let alone appeared in the form of divine thoughts.
So even she was a little scared when the Sea God appeared this time.
When Qian Renxue heard Mu Ci's words, she immediately stepped forward and used her soul guide to put away the Heart of the Sea God, but her look towards Mu Ci was a little strange.
Of course, Mu Ci also saw the other party and signaled Qian Renxue with his eyes to go out and talk later.
Then, Mu Ci looked at the four girls and felt a little apologetic towards the Bingyue sisters.
"I'm sorry, Bing'er and Yue'er, I made you so 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 don't force it."
"Anyway, the information we learned today is already shocking to us."
Shui Bing'er's words made Dugu Yan and Huo Wu nod in agreement.
Today they learned that there were gods above soul masters, which greatly broadened their horizons.
Seeing that the four of them did not have any extreme emotions, Mu Ci felt a lot more relieved.
After comforting them and letting them go back to practice, Mu Ci took Qian Renxue back to the reception room.
Seeing that only she and Mu Ci were left in the scene, Qian Renxue had the opportunity to ask Mu Ci about the Heart of the Sea God.
"Little brother, I never knew that the national treasure of the Heavenly Soul Empire was actually the artifact of the Sea God. This is really shocking."
"But in this case, do we still have to return this thing? What if someone passes the test?"
Mu Ci smiled, looked at Qian Renxue, and said, "It depends on you. I asked for this thing this time so that Bing'er and Yue'er could try it."
"Since it didn't get through, I'm not interested in it anymore. If you're really worried, you can just hide it."
"As for passing the test, it's difficult! Not to mention whether there is anyone with a higher talent than Bing'er, even this thing is not something that everyone can see."
In Mu Ci's opinion, since Shui Bing'er didn't pass, 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 was completely different from the original, and Tang San would not 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 made Shui Bing'er inferior to Tang San?
Twin martial souls?
But only one was needed to inherit the throne. Wasn't the Ultimate Ice Phoenix much stronger than the Blue Silver Emperor?
Other variables? Mysterious Heaven Skill? But Shui Bing'er also had the Medicine King secret method taught by Mu Ci!
What was the difference between the same meridian cultivation system?
Could it be due to the soul from another world? But no one said that it was done by the Sea God. Besides, he didn't have the ability to do such tricks in front of the five gods.
Qian Renxue observed Mu Ci's occasionally tense brows from the side, took two steps closer, and said softly, "Are you still thinking about what just happened?"
Mu Ci nodded and did not deny it.
Just when Mu Ci was about to speak, an idea flashed in his mind.
He thought of Poseidon's statement about the Sea God becoming a god in the original novel, as well as the explanation of the theory of the lifespan of Titled Douluo.
Mu Ci looked at Qian Renxue with some excitement.
"Sister Xue, do you think a Peerless Douluo can live for a thousand years?"
When Qian Renxue heard Mu Ci's question, she 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 longest-serving ancestor in the records only lived for a little over 320 years."
"Even in the biography of the God Ancestor, the Angel God Ancestor only lived for about 200 years before ascending to the divine realm."
"To put it another way, according to the records of the Douluo Hall in Spirit City, there is no Titled Douluo in the entire Douluo Continent who has lived to be over 400 years old."
"The longest-lived Peerless Douluo only lived for 346 years, and that's because His Majesty's Spirit was of the 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 information was wrong.
After all, the Douluo Palace was the final resting place that almost all the Titled Douluos on the Douluo Continent yearned for, and it was the supreme palace for soul masters.
It could be said that, except for some fallen Titled Douluo soul masters, the Douluo Palace had recorded and buried almost all the Titled Douluos who died of old age.
Information about the Sea God kept flowing in Mu Ci's mind.
The Sea Princess, the Sea Witch Douluo, the Sea God, Tang San, the thousand-year lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary humans, and so on, all pointed to one thing.
The Sea God had a great relationship with the Sea Soul Beast, and was very likely to be similar to Tang San.
This also explained why Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, who were so suitable, were not recognized by the Sea God, but Tang San was able to pass it directly.
Mu Ci suddenly understood. According to this logic, everything that was happening now made sense.
"Thank you, Sister Xue. Your words have helped me understand a lot."
Qian Renxue was confused. How could she understand so many things after just answering a very small question?
However, Qian Renxue did not delve into it further and said goodbye to Mu Ci.
"Now that the matter is settled, I can go back and tell Xue Ye what to do with it."
Mu Ci nodded and sent Qian Renxue out of Dugu Mansion.
——
The Divine Realm.
In the temple deep in the endless sea.
The Sea God, who was practicing, suddenly opened his eyes and frowned.
He was a little surprised that the divine consciousness in the Heart of the Sea God, which had been out of contact for a long time, actually sent him some information.
But the gods processed information extremely quickly and figured out the whole story almost instantly.
However, the Sea God, who understood the whole cause and effect, did not relax and still had a frown on his face.
"The Ice Phoenix Spirit of Ultimate Ice and the Innate Full Soul Power Water Element True Dragon Spirit are both good seedlings!"
To be honest, the Sea God didn't really care whether his heir was similar to him or not. This condition was not very important to him.
The gods themselves actually had a great deal of autonomy over the conditions for inheriting their own positions.
If they liked someone, they could greatly lower all the conditions, or even directly help out.
Apart from some unavoidable mandatory requirements, such as gender restrictions on deities, other gods could actually help.
But if they didn't like someone.
Then they were sorry!
Even if someone met the requirements perfectly and had passed the divine assessment in the land of inheritance, the gods could still prevent them from passing.
It all depended on what the deity meant.
"What a shame! You have descendants of angels around you. I was also thinking about how to expand the Sea God's faith to Douluo Continent."
After thinking about all this, the Sea God thought of the only man among the group of women, Mu Ci, who had comprehended the power of special rules.
"From my divine sense, that rule is extremely close to the law of life, but why is there no sign of divine testing on him?"
The Sea God was puzzled.
The center of the Divine Realm also had a certain perception program. Whether it was the indigenous gods who suddenly appeared in the lower planes or the geniuses with unprecedented talents, they could all be perceived by the center.
For example, a while ago, a native third-level god appeared on the Five Elements Continent. After the central government reported the situation to the God Realm, the Asura God sent his subordinates to deal with him.
And Mu Ci from Douluo Continent was obviously a genius who should be discovered.
"Does the Goddess of Life look down on even such a prodigy? Or is it that she doesn't want to pass on the throne for the time being because of the destruction?"
However, the Sea God had no intention of continuing to explore. According to his logic, this kind of genius should have been discovered by the King of Gods long ago.
As for why there was no divine test, it might be that the God King had some special considerations.
Thinking of this, the Sea God closed his eyes and no longer paid attention to the affairs of Douluo Continent.
