The night grew deeper, and the dormitory area of Shrek Academy was peaceful.
Furina sat cross-legged on her bed, her body surrounded by faint, water-blue ripples of Soul Power.
Opposite her, Xiao Xiao was also immersed in a state of Cultivation, forming a subtle resonance of Soul Power between the two.
Just at this moment of absolute silence, a crisp, bell-like female voice suddenly rang out in Furina's Sea of Consciousness:
"Are you there? Are you there? Little Furina?"
This sudden voice made Furina shudder, and she nearly broke out of her state of Cultivation.
She quickly recognized it as the voice of the Water God, and doubt couldn't help but well up in her heart—according to the original plan, her first God Trial would take at least another year or so to complete. Why would the Water God suddenly come looking for her at this time?
Steadying herself, Furina respectfully responded in her Sea of Consciousness: "I am here, Senior Water God. May I ask what business you have with me?"
"There is some good news to tell you..." There was a hint of excitement in the Water God's voice.
Before the Water God could finish, Furina couldn't help but interrupt: "According to common sense, good news is often accompanied by bad news. Surely this time won't be the same, right?"
"That is not the case." The Water God's laughter flowed like a clear spring. "There is only good news. But to be honest, whether this news is good or bad for you depends on your own judgment."
Furina's heart sank abruptly, and a guess she least wanted to imagine surfaced in her mind: "You aren't going to tell me that a certain Sea God Lord has taken a fancy to me, are you?"
This was the situation she least wanted to see. Once targeted by that God King, all her layouts and plans could be affected, and she might even fall step by step into a trap carefully designed by the other party.
"That is not the case." The Water God immediately denied it. "The Sea God has indeed noticed your existence, but he does not intend to snatch someone away from me."
"Then what is it exactly?" Furina was even more confused.
"It is the God of Destruction!"
Furina was immediately shocked: "The God of Destruction? He has taken a fancy to me? He won't be giving me his God of Destruction God Trial, will he? But how could I possibly withstand his God of Destruction position?" She really couldn't think of any reason why this ancient God King would pay attention to her, other than for a Legacy of a Divine position.
The Water God was amused by her reaction: "You are overthinking it. The God of Destruction's Divine position is completely incompatible with your attributes, and furthermore, you have already accepted my God Trial. Unless you give up the Water God position now, the clash of the two divine forces is simply not something you can withstand—unless the Divine body you constructed with the Power Of Faith is already complete."
Seeing that Furina was still looking blank, the Water God decided to get straight to the point: "Simply put, although the God of Destruction does not intend to pass his Divine position to you, he hopes that his wife—the Goddess of Life, who is one of the five God Kings of the God Realm—can pass her Divine position to you as a Legacy."
She paused, giving Furina some time to digest, and then continued to explain: "The Goddess of Life's Divine position is gentle in nature, so even if you have already accepted my God Trial, there will be no conflict. Moreover, the God of Destruction appreciates the good deeds you and your Axis Cult frequently perform, and combined with your cake Martial Soul being inclined towards the support and healing type, these traits fit the requirements of the Goddess of Life's Divine position very well."
"So he is just here to ask for your thoughts." The Water God concluded. "If you agree, I will reply to him right away; if you refuse, I will also convey that truthfully."
Furina suddenly realized: "So it is the Goddess of Life's Divine position... This proposal from the God of Destruction is truly unexpected."
