Chapter 204: Thunder God: Find It in the Mortal Realm, and Kill It If It's Still Alive!
The Thunder God could easily crush a divine official, but he always had a bad feeling about the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and that feeling kept growing stronger, making him restless.
"No! I must confirm this," the Thunder God said with a serious face, narrowing his eyes slightly. He then used his divine sense to summon one of his divine officials.
A moment later, a hundred-level divine official knelt before the Thunder God.
Divine officials were the largest group in the divine realm, numbering over ten thousand. They didn't have divine powers themselves but were high-level gods who had surpassed the hundred-level threshold.
Most divine officials had specific duties and positions, usually acting as minor soldiers in the divine realm. They guarded, patrolled, and managed smaller affairs within the divine realm, essentially functioning as a group of laborers.
Each god also had a few divine officials under their command, handling menial tasks. Some gods had only a few divine officials, while others had a large number.
The divine officials serving gods held a higher position among their peers. For instance, a divine official serving a God King was the most powerful among divine officials and possessed greater strength.
At this moment, the divine official kneeling in front of the Thunder God wasn't directly under his command and wasn't serving any particular god, but had a close relationship with the Thunder God.
He had been promoted from a lower-ranking position, similar to the one Ye Wen held on the Douluo plane.
"Great Thunder God, you suddenly summoned me. What is your command?" the divine official asked respectfully, kneeling with one knee on the ground.
"You," the Thunder God said in a commanding tone, "go to the Douluo mortal realm and find a demon whale close to a million years of cultivation, whether it's dead or alive, find it for me. If that beast is still alive, kill it immediately. Understood?"
The divine official's face changed when he heard this.
Gods couldn't interfere with the mortal realm, and doing so was a great sin. If he went to the mortal realm without permission and got caught, it would be a certain death sentence!
This was an absolute death sentence!
Even divine officials couldn't meddle with mortal affairs.
But the Thunder God had commanded it, so he had no choice but to go.
He had become a divine official in the divine realm thanks to the Thunder God's influence. If it weren't for the Thunder God, his life would have remained unchanged. Even if it meant death, he would go without hesitation.
"Yes! Great Thunder God, I understand, but how can I avoid being detected when descending to the Douluo mortal realm?" the divine official asked.
In the divine realm, it wasn't easy for gods to descend to the mortal world. There were second-level gods assigned specifically to monitor such actions and prevent gods from privately descending to the mortal realm.
"I have my ways to let you descend. If your descent is discovered, you should know what to do, right?" The Thunder God's gaze turned sharp.
"Understood, Lord Thunder God. I will say that I descended on my own accord, for personal reasons, and that it has nothing to do with you," the divine official said.
"Very well. Go then."
"Yes!"
The divine official, with a respectful expression, vanished in an instant with a wave of the Thunder God's hand. The Thunder God rubbed his nose and muttered, "It's just a beast, something I can easily crush with a flick of my finger."
That bad premonition still gnawed at him.
The Thunder God was clever. He sent a divine official who wasn't under his direct command. Even if the divine realm discovered it, there would be no repercussions for him.
The one who would be punished would be the divine official who descended to the mortal realm.
The divine official also knew this, but he still went without hesitation.
A few days later.
The divine official finally arrived on the Douluo continent, currently within the territory of the Star Luo Empire.
He wasn't from the Douluo mortal realm, so he knew nothing about it. To gather information, he first needed to inquire with the human race.
A simple approach was to ask the imperial family.
So, the divine official set off for Star Luo City, heading directly to the royal palace.
At this moment, Ye Wen had no idea that the Thunder God had sent a divine official to the mortal realm to check if he was still alive.
He was currently in human form, madly absorbing the energy from the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and his soul power had already reached level 89!
He was just one step away from the Title Douluo realm!
"Level 89 soul power, just one more level to go. Once I reach level 90, I will enter the Title Douluo realm! At that point, my human form's strength will nearly reach the pinnacle of what a human can achieve," Ye Wen said with a faint smile, continuing his cultivation.
It wasn't just him. Over the past two years, everyone's soul power had increased tremendously.
At the same time.
Three years had passed since Tang San began his Sea God's Nine Trials.
During these three years, the soul power and strength of Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Dai Mubai had increased by several times.
Currently, Tang San's soul power had reached level 78, and he had just completed the third trial of the Sea God.
Dai Mubai was at level 68, having completed the fourth trial of the Black-level exams, the third assessment.
Ma Hongjun was at level 66, having completed all the third assessments of the Purple-level trials.
Oscar was at level 67, having completed the third assessment of the Black-level exams.
Ning Rongrong was at level 64, having completed the third assessment of the Black-level exams.
When they first arrived at Sea God Island, their strength was weak, so their progress had been slow, and each trial was extremely difficult.
If we followed the original timeline, three years would already have seen Tang San completing the fifth trial of the Sea God.
But Tang San wasn't in a rush. He took his time, as Sea God Island was very safe.
He only needed to ensure that he passed each trial and, in the end, complete the Nine Trials to inherit the Sea God's position and seek revenge on Ye Wen!
So, Tang San was taking things slowly, almost timing each assessment to the last moment to make sure he could pass.
"Dai, San Ge, Rongrong, Xiao Ao, I've completed the third assessment of the Purple-level trial. I'll stay here on Sea God Island and train while waiting for you all," Ma Hongjun said with a disappointed expression.
Even though he had completed the third assessment of the Purple-level trial, he wasn't happy because his trial had been the weakest, and he couldn't continue with the others.
"Fatty, even though you're done with your assessment, don't slack off. Train well on Sea God Island and wait for us to finish our trials," Tang San patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder.
"Next, Mubai, Oscar, Rongrong, let's check out the content of the fourth trial."
"Okay!"
The Sea God's trials were all set by the Sea God. Generally, trials below the Black-level had fixed templates, but for the Sea God's successors, the trials were different.
Each trial was carefully designed to match the situation of the participant.
For the fourth trial, the Sea God originally intended for Tang San and his team to help the Magic Soul Great White Shark clan defeat the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King of the Evil Demon Tiger Whale clan.
