Sea God Island.
In front of the Sea God Hall, Bo Saixi's gaze, filled with complex emotions, pierced through layers of space, looking at the battle within the Seven Guardian Sacred Pillars.
The combatants at this moment were the girl she envied, Xu Nianshuang, who had gained the Sea God's favor and embarked on the Seagod Nine Trials.
Xu Nianshuang had already defeated six Guardian Douluo in succession and was now facing Sea Dragon Douluo, the strongest among the seven.
According to the current situation, Sea Dragon Douluo's defeat was only a matter of time.
Sure enough, as Xu Nianshuang's 'Heavenly Frost' sword strike fell, Sea Dragon Douluo flew out of the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar platform, his eyes blank, his face pale, as he looked at Xu Nianshuang, who exuded a sharp sword intent on the arena.
He had lost, undeniably defeated by Xu Nianshuang's sword. Her terrifying swordsmanship, combined with extreme ice, made him feel as if he were facing a Sword Douluo.
"Thank you for going easy on me, Senior!"
Xu Nianshuang looked calmly at Sea Dragon Douluo, and then the trident imprint on her forehead lit up.
"Fifth Trial: Challenge a Titled Douluo. All assessments passed. Reward: 15% increase in Sea God affinity, total affinity 55%."
"Sixth Trial: Endure the attacks of the Sea God Douluo for the duration of one incense stick..."
Xu Nianshuang looked at the content of the Sixth Trial displayed in her mind, first surprised, then a strong fighting spirit emerged in her heart.
To fight against the world's top peak powerhouse, had she unknowingly reached this point?
"Shuang'er sister, our Sixth Trial..." Just then, Shui Bing'er and the others, who had completed their Fifth Trial, gathered around, their faces showing lingering astonishment.
"Our assessments should be the same..." Xu Nianshuang looked at their shocked yet ardent gazes, her heart settled, and she said, "Do you have confidence?"
"Hahahaha... Big Sis, to tell you the truth, I can now contend with a Titled Douluo. I'm just eager to test how terrifying the strength of a Limit Douluo truly is. Perhaps I can even infer what realm Boss is currently in." Zui Hongchen laughed heartily, without a trace of fear in his eyes.
Huang Xiuwen glanced at his slightly trembling hand, then stepped forward and put his arm around his shoulder, his steady voice sounding at the same time: "This is our final trial. We've come this far. Even if a God personally intervenes, it won't stop our determination to complete it."
"Good, let's use this battle to test our growth." Xu Nianshuang nodded, her gaze burning as she looked at Shui Bing'er, who returned her gaze with equal fervor.
Don't forget, they possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Technique. With their current strength, unleashing the Martial Soul Fusion Technique was enough to cross into the realm of a Super Douluo, and with Ning Linglong's assistance, what was there to fear in a battle?
"You have your determination, and I have my helplessness..." Bo Saixi's mental force was enough to cover the entire Sea God Island. Xu Nianshuang and the others' conversation reached her ears, and a complex expression appeared in her eyes.
Her heart was in turmoil.
"Senior Bo Saixi, your heart is in disarray!"
Just then, a calm voice came from behind Bo Saixi, and her heart jolted.
When?
She hadn't felt anyone approach at all!
Turning her head, she saw Xu Tianyang, accompanied by Snow Empress, had appeared by her side at some unknown time.
"Senior Bo Saixi, the faith in your heart has begun to waver."
Bo Saixi's heart trembled violently at the words. A figure flashed in her mind, and she gave a bitter smile, saying, "Yes, when did I start to detest my own identity?"
She wasn't lying at all; at their realm, they disdained lying.
"You don't want to fulfill another Sea God successor, because you still want to see Tang Chen again. Am I right?" Xu Tianyang's gaze fell on Xu Nianshuang and the others below, a gentle light flashing in his eyes, then he looked towards the distant sea.
"What do you plan to do?" Bo Saixi looked calmly at Xu Tianyang; this young man was favored even by the Sea God. It could be said that the group below gained the Sea God's favor entirely because of this person in front of her.
"I will not force Senior. I merely want to inform Senior that Tang Chen is already dead. He obtained the Asura God's inheritance, but unfortunately, he fell on the path of inheritance and ultimately died by my hand. The Asura God's inheritance also fell into my hands." Xu Tianyang spoke, his tone devoid of any ripples.
Bo Saixi's expression froze at the words. Scenes from the past flashed through her mind, eventually coalescing into a single promise.
"I will find the path to God; wait for me..."
He did indeed find the path to God, but unfortunately, he couldn't reach the end.
In an instant, Bo Saixi felt utterly despairing, as if everything had lost its meaning. She slowly aged under Xu Tianyang's gaze, like someone in the twilight years of her life.
"I understand. Thank you for bringing me his message." Bo Saixi said with a faint voice.
"Don't you want to avenge him?"
"No need. Everything is meaningless now. He died on his own path; no one else is to blame. If anyone is to blame, it's only myself. We were all too proud back then and couldn't make things clear to him. The person I've always loved was him..." Bo Saixi at this moment seemed to have lost her soul, shaking her head and speaking in a vicissitudes of life tone.
It could be said that from the moment she received Tang Chen's message, Bo Saixi had already died. The one standing here now was the High Priest of Sea God Island.
"Isn't this too cruel to her?" Snow Empress looked at Bo Saixi, who was walking towards Xu Nianshuang and the others, and said with some melancholy.
Love, ah... "She had an obsession with Tang Chen, and Tang Chen died by my hand. To ensure her heart had no distracting thoughts, this was the only way." Xu Tianyang shook his head. In the original work, Bo Saixi even harbored murderous intent towards Tang San just to see Tang Chen again.
It was evident that in her heart, her faith in the Sea God had, for the first time, lost to love.
Of course, Xu Tianyang had to prevent such a thing from happening. As for the matter of reviving the two as Divinities in the future, it was highly unlikely to be achieved by his hand.
"If one day, would you be like this?" Snow Empress looked at Xu Tianyang with sparkling eyes and asked.
Xu Tianyang looked seriously into Snow Empress's pure eyes and earnestly said, "I will not let such a result occur between us."
Snow Empress smiled gracefully at his words. Although she didn't hear the answer she wanted, this was also good.
Meanwhile, Bo Saixi had already met with the crowd below. Seeing the greatly changed Bo Saixi, everyone's expressions immediately changed.
Sea Dragon Douluo's heart was even more shaken, and he said tremblingly, "High Priest, you..."
"It's fine. My long-held wish of guardianship is about to be fulfilled. Sea Dragon, you should be happy for me." Bo Saixi looked calmly at Sea Dragon Douluo, comforting him.
Upon hearing this, a faint sadness appeared between Sea Dragon Douluo's brows.
