The System Activates, a Marriage Alliance with Bibi Dong

"You won't take the Divine Examination yourself, and you won't let anyone else take it either?" Those were the only words Bo Saixi heard. She automatically ignored Xu Feng's offense against the Sea God. Naturally, she knew he was protecting her indirectly, sparing her from being sacrificed during the Sea God Trial.

She was moved once again.

"If Lord Sea God hadn't united one powerful race after another in the ocean, how could Sea God Island have survived for so long?"

"You mustn't be disrespectful to Lord Sea God again."

Bo Saixi gave Xu Feng a token scolding, then gazed out over the boundless sea, her expression wistful. "If you refuse the Divine Examination and try to carve out your own path to godhood, how difficult will that be?"

The Seven Sacred Pillars also nodded in agreement.

Over the countless tens of thousands of years past, heroes and prodigies had emerged in numbers as vast as the Sea Soul Beasts in the ocean. Every possible path to godhood had long since been walked. Now, the only way to become a god was through the Divine Examination.

To become a god by oneself was hard—harder than hard!

It was almost impossible.

How could Xu Feng not understand what Bo Saixi meant? But he had reached Limit Douluo while still only in his twenties, an achievement terrifying in itself. He had never seen a record of anyone before him accomplishing such a feat in the Sea God Hall's archives.

He was only in his twenties and had plenty of time to explore. He was confident he could blaze a trail.

Just then, an icy voice rang out in Xu Feng's mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the God-Level Marriage Alliance System."

"Rule one: the greater the talent and potential of the host's marriage alliance partner, the richer the rewards."

"Rule two: the more the marriage alliance partner's strength grows with the host's help, the richer the rewards."

After hearing the system's introduction, a flicker of excitement appeared deep in Xu Feng's eyes. His breathing quickened slightly, and his fists clenched. He had transmigrated to the Douluo World, and his system had finally arrived!

The God-Level Marriage Alliance System? Xu Feng murmured inwardly, repeating its rules to himself several times.

If Xu Feng had not been confident before that he could carve out a path to godhood on his own, he was now.

As long as I form marriage alliances, I can keep growing stronger. There's hope of becoming a god in the future.

This way, not only can I attain the Divine Position, I can also free Bo Saixi from her position as the Sea God's Great Enshrined someday and let her regain her freedom, Xu Feng thought. If the Sea God refuses? Then I'll slay the god!

Seeing Xu Feng standing there in a daze, Bo Saixi thought her words had discouraged him and changed tack to comfort him. "Feng'er, don't lose heart. You have an unprecedented talent. Perhaps one day you really will attain the Divine Position on your own."

A glimmer shone deep in her beautiful eyes as she thought, If you reach the end of your road, I'll sacrifice myself to open a divine path for you.

"That's right, Feng'er. Think about how many people in the world today could reach Limit Douluo at your age. It's simply unheard of. Your aunt supports you," Sea Witch said, waving a fist as she comforted him, encouragement in her clear blue eyes.

Hearing Sea Witch and Bo Saixi, Xu Feng came back to his senses. He smiled and said, "Sister, there's no need to comfort me. I've made up my mind. I'm going to form a marriage alliance."

"I'm glad you've made up your mind. A marriage alliance is good. Hm?! A marriage alliance?!" Bo Saixi lost her composure. Despite having occupied a high position for so long, having served as the Sea God's High Priest for nearly a century, and usually carrying herself with the lofty dignity of an unapproachable deity, she could not maintain her poise now.

"What? You said you want a marriage alliance?" she exclaimed, finally registering his words. Even the Soul Power fluctuations around her grew somewhat erratic.

Isn't that too abrupt a turn? He was just talking about the path to godhood, and now he suddenly wants a marriage alliance?

Does it have to be this absurd?

"Haha, Feng'er's grown up and started thinking about women," Sea Dragon Douluo said with a booming laugh.

"It's time we found a suitable marriage alliance partner for Feng'er," Sea Delusion Douluo agreed with a nod.

"When I was Feng'er's age, I already had a whole crowd of descendants," Sea Horse boasted.

"Don't you compare Feng'er to yourself. Don't lead him astray," Sea Witch warned.

"Although Sea God Island keeps to itself, few powers in the world can contend with its strength and foundation. Feng'er is our young master, and his talent is astonishing. His cultivation has already reached level 99 Limit Douluo. What kind of young woman could be worthy of him?" Sea Star Douluo said proudly.

"..."

The Seven Sacred Pillars had also been startled by Xu Feng's words, and they began discussing the matter, each chiming in.

"Do you already have someone in mind, or do you need us to find someone for you?" Bo Saixi asked, suppressing her shock and surprise.

"I don't have anyone I like at the moment, but I have my own plans," Xu Feng replied. The first person he intended to form a marriage alliance with had already appeared in his mind.

"You've spent the past twenty-odd years working hard to raise your level. It's time you enjoyed yourself a little. Your uncle Sea Dragon supports you. I've also gathered a lot of Whale Rubber. You'll have a use for it when the time comes, so come and collect it when you have time." Sea Dragon Douluo waved a large hand as he spoke generously, a knowing look on his face.

"Big brother! Don't lead Feng'er astray!" Sea Witch swung her perfect body around and slapped the sea with her fishtail, splashing Sea Dragon.

Bo Saixi also shot Sea Dragon a warning look.

"All right, eldest uncle." Xu Feng's eyes warmed. He naturally knew Whale Rubber was good stuff. Not only was it a potent tonic of utmost hardness and yang, it could also increase the level of Soul Rings a Soul Master could absorb. As Sea God Island's young master, he had naturally taken Whale Rubber before.

Xu Feng then said goodbye to Bo Saixi and each of the Seven Sacred Pillars in turn, leaving Sea God Island beneath their reluctant gazes.

When Xu Feng left Sea God Island, Bo Saixi filled his Storage Soul Tool with many of the island's treasures.

Long after Xu Feng had left, Bo Saixi was still gazing from the Sea God Hall in the direction where he had disappeared.

On the beach, Sea Witch slapped the surface of the sea with her mermaid tail, her long blue-green hair swaying. "Feng'er..."

Several days later, at Spirit Hall.

A crimson streak pierced the sky, swift as a shooting star, blasting apart and plowing through the clouds and mist in its path.

Amid a piercing sonic boom, a tall, upright man appeared in the sky above Spirit Hall. He had an ethereal bearing and an impressive presence. Terrifying Soul Power fluctuations radiated from him, while crystalline motes shimmered around his body and light flowed over him.

This man was naturally Xu Feng. That was right: his target was Bibi Dong, Spirit Hall's holy maiden.

The Douluo timeline he had transmigrated into was earlier than the original story. Qian Renxue had yet to be born, and Bibi Dong had yet to become that ambitious, domineering Pope.

Looking at the plot of Douluo I, Bibi Dong's potential and talent were undoubtedly second to none. She had awakened two great Martial Souls and passed the Rakshasa God's Divine Examination on her own to become the new Rakshasa God. A prodigy like Bibi Dong was naturally Xu Feng's choice for a marriage alliance.

If I form a marriage alliance with Bibi Dong, what rewards will the system drop, given her monstrous talent and potential? Xu Feng began to look forward to it, his eyes growing somewhat fervent.
