Poseissi glanced at everyone present and said in a soft voice, "Then let's go, let's head to the Sea God Temple immediately!"
The most mysterious place on Sea God's Island was the Sea God Temple, a place that even the Sons of God had never entered, a truly divine realm.
She guarded the Sea God Temple year-round, or rather, it was to guard the super divine weapon within, the Sea God's Trident!
Hearing this, Xu Sheng at the side gave a light cough and asked, "Grand Elder, may I have a word with you?"
If he didn't speak now, once they reached the most important place, the Sea God Temple, and spoke such blasphemous words, Poseissi would surely be enraged!
And more importantly, the content of the God's Test was a public confession!
This also meant that Xu Sheng couldn't complete the God's Test by exploiting loopholes in the language!
As his words fell, the God Seven Children and Poseissi, who were about to head for the Sea God Temple, all paused in their movements and looked at Xu Sheng with puzzled expressions...
Especially Poseissi, her eyes as pure as the ocean, stared at Xu Sheng and slowly said, "Xu Sheng, speak your mind."
Xu Sheng pursed his thin lips, his gaze fixated on Poseissi...
This slight action made the seven Sons of God beside him feel that something was amiss...
This man named Xu Sheng, staring so openly at the Grand Elder—could it be that he was trying to gain some advantages?
Or is it that...
Hiss...
Xu Sheng, looking at Poseissi and speaking in an exceptionally gentle tone, said, "Grand Elder, your real name is Poseissi, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, the seven Sons of God immediately cried out in anger, "Xu Sheng, how dare you address the Grand Elder by her name?"
"Xu Sheng, you are completely disrespecting the Grand Elder!!"
"You dare address the Grand Elder by name; you must accept punishment..."
At these words, Poseissi looked at Xu Sheng and frowned but put out a hand to stop the seven Sons of God!
Doubt flashed in her eyes, "Yes, my true name is indeed Poseissi, but Xu Sheng, how did you come to know this?"
It was impossible for the Sons of God and the residents of Sea God's Island to tell Xu Sheng her true name, so how did he find out?
Xu Sheng took a deep breath, suppressed the goosebumps on his skin, and braced himself to say, "A few years ago, I learned that on Sea God's Island, there was a beautiful and generous Grand Elder, which is why I have come here today!"
A glint of light flashed in Poseissi's pupils...
Could it be that this Xu Sheng came to Sea God's Island because he admired her?
The other Sons of God, after hearing Xu Sheng's words, all let out a sigh of relief...
So the reason this man came to Sea God's Island was because he admired the Grand Elder's renown!
That was much better, they had just been scared that...
Poseissi blinked and asked, "Then Xu Sheng, what exactly do you mean by your words?"
After she asked, an inexplicable feeling arose from the bottom of her heart...
Xu Sheng slowly approached Poseissi, looked at her, and said word by word, "What I mean is... I like you, Grand Elder: Poseissi!"
The moment the last word left his mouth, Xu Sheng felt like he wanted to die!
The faces of the seven Sons of God present all froze...
This Xu Sheng had actually made a public confession to the Grand Elder!!
This guy, does he not know that the Grand Elder's age and appearance do not match at all???
And moreover, despite the cheesy words, it seemed the Grand Elder was not angry!!
Poseissi just smiled tenderly and calmly explained to Xu Sheng, "Xu Sheng, I think, perhaps you've mistaken admiration for liking..."
She and Xu Sheng, although both appeared quite young, he probably didn't know that her real age was nearly a hundred years old!
How could people from different eras possibly be together?
Xu Sheng saw that the mechanical sound indicating the successful completion of the God trial hadn't sounded and his heart grew heavier...
Could it be that his earth-shattering, ghost-weeping confession did not meet the standards of the God trial?
But having said all he had, it wasn't possible he would come away with nothing!
Xu Sheng put on a serious face and said, "Poseissi, what if what I said was not just admiration, but liking?"
This time, Poseissi's expression finally showed some fluctuation...
The boy's expression wasn't joking—could it be that he truly had feelings for her…
At that moment, Poseissi's heartbeat quickened...
It wasn't because of love, but simply the excitement of receiving a confession for the first time...
After all, having guarded the Sea God Temple alone for decades, she had kept her distance from such feelings of love...
Poseissi pursed her crimson lips and quietly spoke, "Xu Sheng, if you really think that way, then do your best to obtain the position of the Sea God. Only then, we might have the slightest possibility."
The Sea Horse Douluo swallowed hard and exclaimed, "What? Grand Elder, your words..."
The woman beside him thought to herself, "I did not expect that even our most respected Grand Elder would say such a thing."
But since the Grand Elder had spoken thus, it wasn't their place to chastise Xu Sheng anymore...
Compared to the always indifferent Poseissi, it was Xu Sheng, who received this reply, whose eyes showed a hint of astonishment, "??? Poseissi's meaning is that if I obtain the position of the Sea God, she will choose to accept me!!"
Then, one might conclude that what Tang Chen had told him about Poseissi was actually unrequited love??
The information was a bit overwhelming, and Xu Sheng couldn't take it all in at once...
Soon, a mechanical voice echoed in Xu Sheng's mind...
"Destruction God's Test, third trial, assessment passed! God trial reward: qualification for the inheritance of the Life God, all Soul Rings' age increased by twenty thousand years!"
"Destruction God's Test, fourth trial, surpass the Soul Power Stages and obtain the recognition of the Sea God's Trident! Reward: Unknown."
Afterward, the matter passed as if it were just an interlude, and Poseissi and the others led Xu Sheng onward towards the Sea God Temple...
...
Xu Sheng gazed distantly at the Sea God Temple ahead, which radiated a divine aura!
He saw that the only way to reach the Sea God Temple was the long flight of stairs beneath it!
These stairs were not ordinary; with each step, a certain pressure would increase!
Even ordinary Titled Douluo would find it hard to reach two-thirds of the way up these stairs!
The Sea God Temple was reflected in Xu Sheng's pupils as he asked with curiosity, "Is this the Sea God Temple?"
Poseissi whispered to Xu Sheng, "Yes, this is the Sea God's Island's Sea God Temple, the most important place here! Within the Sea God Temple lies the super divine weapon, the Sea God's Trident!"
"And these stairs, they increase the corresponding pressure with every step!"
Xu Sheng nodded, indicating he understood...
The Starfish Douluo stepped forward and asked, "Grand Elder, shall we wait here for you and Xu Sheng then?"
They were clearly aware that they had no right to enter the Sea God Temple.
To their surprise, the Grand Elder did not agree, speaking softly, "No need, you all ascend the stairs as well. Take the opportunity to see the limit each of your strengths can reach."
Even the strongest Sea Dragon Douluo couldn't storm into the Sea God Temple, so according to the rules, as Grand Elder, she had no right to allow them entry into the Sea God Temple!
With a pleasing sound from Poseissi's voice, "Let's go!"
All present swiftly stepped onto the first stair...
