Tang San was surrounded by a golden light, and his aura was terrifying.
Everyone on Sea God's Island felt the horror of the aura emanating from Tang San.
They did not understand what was happening, assuming only that it was the descent of a divine miracle.
As for the Seahorse Douluo, standing to one side, he was already dumbstruck.
"Is this the Sea God's Nine Quests?" Poseissi watched Tang San, shock evident in her eyes. She felt a growing unease.
She knew that the Sea God's Nine Quests signified the possibility of Tang San becoming the Sea God.
"Xu Ran, should I trust you?"
"But now, Tang San has obtained the Sea God's Nine Quests."
Poseissi felt panic.
If Tang San were a bad person, and he had acquired the Sea God's Nine Quests, what should be done?
Moreover, discussing who is right and who is wrong was no longer important.
Although she did not understand the deep hatred between Tang San and Xu Ran, she knew the enmity between them was irreconcilable.
Tang San was already the Rakshasa God with terrifying strength. If he were to inherit the Sea God and possess dual godhood, what then? Would Xu Ran be in danger?
Suddenly, Poseissi's heart clenched in pain.
If Xu Ran were in danger...
She dared not imagine; Xu Ran was a genius, and it would be a tragic waste if he were to die.
...
At this moment, Xu Ran and Lorelai also felt this aura.
"The Sea God's Nine Quests?" Lorelai's pretty face changed.
She had a good relationship with Poseissi. Both were peerlessly beautiful women of Sea God's Island.
She had heard Poseissi mention before that gold represented godliness...
Red was the color of the High Priest, Poseissi.
The High Priest was already at the apex of power on Sea God's Island.
And gold...could only be...
"How is this possible?"
"How could it be so sudden? How could the Sea God's Nine Quests appear out of nowhere? For many years, no one has received this trial, not even Poseissi."
Lorelai spoke in alarm.
"Tang San." Xu Ran muttered, a slight frown on his face.
He had not expected Tang San to stumble into the Sea God's inheritance by mistake.
"It seems your main path hasn't changed much; what is yours is still yours," Xu Ran said indifferently. In the original story, Tang San acquired the Asura God and Sea God's godhood, and now he had obtained both the Rakshasa God and Sea God's godhood.
Moreover, if it weren't for his enmity with the Sea God, Tang San, who had already ascended to godhood, would not have been able to undergo the Sea God's Divine Test.
The Sea God clearly held a grudge, knowing the animosity between him and the Rakshasa God and deliberately cultivated an enemy for him in this way.
"Sea God, you deserve death!" Xu Ran said coldly.
"Xu Ran, I have already passed the Sea God's Divine Test," Tang San said, hovering in mid-air, coming to face Xu Ran. Now he was confident again; as soon as he became the Sea God, doubling his godhood, who in this world would be his match?
As long as he became the Sea God, he would harshly torment Xu Ran, trampling him underfoot and humiliating him thoroughly.
This time, he was prepared.
As the inheritor of both the Rakshasa and Sea God's godhood, he would no longer fear Xu Ran.
"So what?" Xu Ran said disdainfully.
To him, the Sea God's godhood was trivial.
Even the godhood inheritance Zhu Qing and the others received were all First-Level God status. What was a First-Level God anyway?
"If it weren't for your grudge with the Sea God, obtaining the Sea God's inheritance might indeed have been difficult for me. But well, thanks to you," Tang San said. Seeing Xu Ran appear unconcerned, anger surged within him.
What was Xu Ran pretending for?
In the future, Tang San planned to flaunt his own power too!
"I must admit, Xu Ran, your fortunes with women are good, having beauties accompany you wherever you go. But this time, the beauties of Sea God's Island, you won't be able to take with you," Tang San said, walking toward Lorelai.
Lorelai's lovely face changed slightly as she listened to Tang San's words.
She had already learned of the Sea God's despicable character and now naturally held no good impression of Tang San, the Sea God's Heir.
Moreover, the evil aura emanating from Tang San was overwhelming, and his gaze was wicked, not at all comparable to the righteousness that exuded from Xu Ran.
Lorelai felt somewhat afraid and reached out to clutch the corner of Xu Ran's clothes.
Despite being a Pillar Guardian, she still felt fear in the face of a powerhouse like Tang San.
"I will be the future Sea God, and everything here will be under my command. I won't allow you to be with Xu Ran; if you dare to do so, when I ascend to godhood, I will slaughter the Merfolk Clan to the last. Little beauty, you can only be with me, understand?"
Tang San said.
He was too jealous.
But he couldn't win their hearts; he wanted to possess their bodies.
As long as he became the Sea God, all the beauties of the sea would be his.
"Despicable." Lorelai's chest heaved with anger. The Sea God's Inheritor was indeed no better than the Sea God himself—they were both vile creatures!
"Despicable? Hehe… I think Xu Ran is even more despicable than me," Tang San retorted mockingly as he looked at Xu Ran.
"Xu Ran, you're about to undergo the Sea God's Divine Test, aren't you? I wonder what level of the test you will receive. I'm quite looking forward to it." Tang San said with a smile, using this as a way to humiliate Xu Ran.
He had a gold-level assessment. What would Xu Ran have?
He was already at the top; Xu Ran couldn't possibly surpass him!
In the future, Tang San would trample Xu Ran under his feet.
"What you desire is but a trifle for me to achieve," Xu Ran said. He had gained the recognition of the Heart of the Sea God, within which was the origin power of the sea.
The Sea God was merely a god of the sea.
"Hmph, tough talk," Tang San snorted coldly.
He didn't believe Xu Ran could be more powerful than him.
From this moment on, he would be invincible.
Double gods, how could that not be invincible?
No matter how stubborn Xu Ran was, he couldn't be a match for him.
Blue light converged, the Sea Lady Pillar shone brightly, and a column of light descended from the sky, enveloping Xu Ran.
The blue turned to white, lingering, no longer changing.
Xu Ran, who had fallen out with the Sea God, naturally would not receive a formidable trial.
This was also the Sea God's way of humiliating Xu Ran; even if Xu Ran was a prodigious talent, in his domain he could only shrink to nothing.
"Pff. Xu Ran, you really are impressive,"
"White, this seems to be the lowest level of the test, right?"
"Haha. Still stubborn as a dead duck. But at least it's good that white still qualifies you for the Sea God's test, not bad enough to be expelled from Sea God's Island."
"Xu Ran, compared to me, you are nothing. Your era is over."
Tang San laughed unrestrainedly.
Lorelai, however, was extremely worried, her beautiful eyes focused on Xu Ran. She knew that Xu Ran was strong; the reason it was like this was because Xu Ran had made an enemy of the Sea God.
"I told you what you want is within easy reach for me,"
Xu Ran said calmly.
In his hands appeared the Qiankun Hanhai Cover, which was also the Heart of the Sea God, the core of the Sea God's Trident.
The Sea God might change, but the Heart of the Sea God was eternal.
The energy inside the Heart of the Sea God was perhaps purer than that of the so-called Sea God.
Xu Ran channeled his Soul Power into the Heart of the Sea God, and the Sea Lady Pillar, drawn by it, erupted in radiance—yellow, purple, black, red, gold.
Almost in an instant, golden light flickered.
A deep and ancient essence of the sea filled the entire Sea God's Island.
Golden light bathed the land.
The aura emitted was even more terrifying than the momentum created by Tang San.
A golden trident, similar to the one on Tang San's forehead, suddenly appeared on Xu Ran's forehead, but soon, the golden trident mark, representing the highest level of the Sea God's Divine Test, shattered with a bang.
"I simply disdain it,"
"The so-called Sea God, mere ants. What are they worth?"
