Attempting to Leave Sea God Island

Midnight.

By the bright moonlight, the youth in black smeared black mud from the seabed across his fair face.

In the dark of night, he left no shadow or trace, making his figure hard to glimpse.

Even so,

when the moonlight spilled down, the youth's delicate features could still be faintly made out.

Su Mutian's clone was holding the map Bo Saixi had gathered from the residents of Sea God Island.

It was absolutely the most rigorous and scientific map, much better than Tang San's.

It had markings, island divisions, and even danger zones.

But was the sky over Douluo Continent the same as in his previous life?

Could he rely on Polaris to judge direction?

The answer was no.

At least, not in this worldview.

Mm... this proved Douluo really was not on some parallel Earth.

Was that useful?

Not useful at all.

"Good thing I tricked Xi'er out of a magnetic compass. I can use it to point the way."

"Out to sea!"

Su Mutian pushed the little boat he had prepared into the sea.

His goal was to successfully make landfall.

But the ocean was dangerous.

He definitely could not provoke the Deep Sea Demon Whale next door.

Even if it meant taking the long way around, he did not want to get close.

And Bo Saixi's map showed that besides the Deep Sea Demon Whale, which was close to a Million-Year Spirit Beast, there were also quite a few Hundred Thousand Year sea beasts.

Noted.

Su Mutian thought that once his Chaos Divine Sword also reached max level someday, he could come here to hunt spirit rings.

Speaking of spirit rings,

Su Mutian shook his head.

He expressed his profound sympathy for spirit beasts.

Spirit beasts were far too humble.

They existed at others' mercy.

In other fantasy novels, at least demons and devils had the ability to protect themselves, and could even fight back.

But in Douluo,

whether before humans or gods, beasts were discriminated against.

But so what?

Su Mutian rather liked this kind of setting.

If he were a spectator, he might cry injustice for spirit beasts.

But being in the middle of it,

this matter became very troublesome.

Should I help spirit beasts?

If I helped spirit beasts, would I still be human?

Help spirit beasts rise up and overthrow my own race?

That made no sense.

But the most terrifying part was that

there was no reproductive isolation in Douluo. After spirit beasts underwent Humanoid Transformation, they could also become pregnant and have children just like humans.

In short, the spirit beast issue was very hard to handle.

Just then,

a chilly sea wind blew over.

Su Mutian immediately shivered, could not help rubbing his forehead, and said, "I've gone mad! I'm actually talking science in a fantasy world."

But then again,

no matter what world it was,

the sea at night was always this cold.

If he dipped his hand into the seawater and did not use Soul Power to ward off the cold, his palm would go stiff in just a few seconds.

Distant specks of light flickered. They were sailing giant ships, luxurious and bustling above, forming a sharp contrast with Su Mutian's shabby little boat.

If he did not need to secretly use his clone to slip away, Su Mutian should also have been the sort of person who had a giant ship all to himself.

Was this the loneliness of going out to fight monsters and level up?

If only he had a flying-type spirit skill, one that could support long-distance flight.

Even with a demigod clone, in truth, he still did not have the strength to jump directly from Sea God Island to the mainland.

Su Mutian's main body, sitting in the very center of Sea God Hall, took a sip of tea, then smacked his lips.

He raised his cup toward the majestic statue of the Sea God behind him. "Care to drink with me?"

Then Su Mutian smiled. "There is no one to drink with."

Su Mutian felt somewhat lonely again.

In his understanding,

Douluo before godhood was actually a low martial world.

Tang San was the best example.

In Tang San's previous life, it was an ancient martial world. The Tang Sect's hidden weapons were still awesome when used in the Douluo world.

Especially Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus. It could even kill a Titled Douluo and make god-level experts feel threatened.

That was very exaggerated.

If placed in a cultivation world,

he would be at most Golden Core. No higher.

But...

there were still many benefits to becoming a god.

"But becoming a god is so hard."

Su Mutian put on a bitter-gourd face and looked up at the star-filled sky. A few thoughts could not help emerging in his mind.

When he had first transmigrated, the Cautious God Cultivation Accelerator the system had given him seemed about to expire.

In any case, ever since the Clone Spirit had reached max level, when he cultivated spirits like the divine sword, Chaos Pearl, and Chaos Green Lotus, he clearly had the will but not the strength.

For example, the Chaos Divine Sword was currently Level 11. It had a pure white blade, no spirit rings, and no spirit skills.

Other people had to absorb spirit rings to break through bottlenecks. He did not.

Although this divine sword had its innate attack power maxed out,

Su Mutian was at least confident he could use it to crush a Clear Sky Hammer of the same level.

A sharp weapon like the one that split heaven and earth in the primordial world—did you think it was joking with you?

But the key point was right here.

Leveling it was too slow.

Su Mutian wanted to say to the system, "I star-star your star-star!"

Even if the white divine sword's attack power was high, could it be that I was supposed to fight Soul Elders who were everywhere at Level 10?

In the Douluo world:

① Spirit Soldier: Level 1 to Level 10.

② Spirit Master: Level 11 to Level 20.

③ Soul Grandmaster: Level 21 to Level 30.

④ Soul Elder: Level 31 to Level 40.

⑤ Soul Ancestor: Level 41 to Level 50.

⑥ Spirit King: Level 51 to Level 60.

⑦ Spirit Emperor: Level 61 to Level 70.

⑧ Spirit Sage: Level 71 to Level 80.

⑨ Spirit Titled Douluo: Level 81 to Level 90.

⑩ Titled Douluo: Level 91 to max level.

The levels after Titled Douluo were demigod, god-level, and obtaining a God Position made one a god.

And Titled Douluo were further divided into the following categories:

① Ordinary Titled Douluo: Level 91 to Level 94.

② Super Douluo: Level 95.

③ Supreme Douluo: Level 96.

④ Peak Douluo: Level 97.

⑤ Peerless Douluo: Level 98.

⑥ Limit Douluo: Level 99.

After Super Douluo, every level was a bottomless chasm, with an enormous gap between them.

If one was born into an ordinary family, becoming a Soul Grandmaster, or even a Spirit Master, was enough to make one's family proud.

Mm... just like getting into an experimental high school on the high school entrance exam?

Or like getting into a key university?

In any case, it was something ordinary people could be proud of.

As for Soul Elder and Soul Ancestor, high school teachers and homeroom teachers?

Then Spirit King was a university teacher, a PhD?

As for Spirit Emperor... emmm, definitely a university professor.

For the levels after that, it was hard to imagine.

He was just afraid of a 404 warning.

Su Mutian laughed at his own wild imagination.

He had come too early.

But earlier was fine too.

He had enough time to grow and deal with the great war between the four gods: Asura God, Angel God, Rakshasa God, and Sea God.

"Bo Saixi."

Su Mutian scooped up seawater, but because his body lost its balance, he flipped over and fell into the water...

"Pfft—!"

Inside Sea God Hall, Su Mutian's main body sprayed out a mouthful of tea.

Too rash!

It was his first time controlling a clone from long range, and he was multitasking.

One careless little shudder,

added to his own unskilled use of it,

and the clone had drowned!

Su Mutian clutched his own throat, his face flushed red.

He could truly and vividly feel the sensation of his clone drowning!

At this moment, he fully experienced that suffocating sensation of difficulty breathing and choking on water.

Su Mutian withered.

If he had known, he would have practiced first and released it only after he was familiar with the clone.

Wrong.

He knew he was wrong.

At this moment, Bo Saixi came carrying tonight's seafood feast.

The platter was made of silver ingots with gilding, a full twenty inches across, piled high with a heap of large lobsters, sea cucumbers...

"Young God? What happened to you?"

Sensing Su Mutian's abnormal state, Bo Saixi hurriedly set down the seafood tray, moved closer, and circulated Sea God's Power, wanting to heal him.

But she found it had no effect!

"His whole body is icy cold, but his heartbeat is accelerating..."

"Could it be Divine Tribulation?!"

Young God had said he would not inherit the Sea God Position.

Thinking back to Young God's resolve in giving up the God Position for her sake, Bo Saixi felt very happy.

But after thinking it over carefully,

for an existence like Young God,

perhaps he had another Path to Godhood?

It was said that creating a divine seat required going through several Divine Tribulations. Could it be...

Ripples rose in Bo Saixi's pale blue pupils... Young God, he truly was worthy of being himself...

"Cough, cough cough!"

Su Mutian suddenly coughed.

Damn it.

Clone, you're finally dead for good.

If you hadn't gone cold soon, even my main body would've been about to kick the bucket.

After this chapter, the story beyond Sea God Island begins. If you have any ideas, feel free to leave a comment. If they're good, I'll take them.

There are actually two ways to write it. The first is to skip straight over Tang Chen's generation and quickly jump to Tang Hao and Tang San. The second is to steadily grind through the map, writing another section for Tang Chen's generation. That might be less popular, and it's harder to write—more effort for less reward—but the book's overall integrity would be better.

After all, everyone wants to see Bibi Dong, and wants to see the Tang San storyline, haha.

In my conception, the book is divided into three parts.

Tang Chen's generation, Tang Hao's generation, and only then Tang San.

After all, this involves changing the plot, so everyone, pool your ideas.

I'll see what you all think! Hmph, though I may not necessarily take your suggestions.

LSPs, stop pretending. I'm talking about you!
