Persistent Pursuit, Bo Saixi

A flash of gray light appeared, and a circular platform appeared in front of Ye Feng.

The platform was quite peculiar, shaped like the Bagua Diagram that Ye Feng was familiar with. In the center of the platform were Yin and Yang, followed by the Four Symbols, and then the Bagua.

"Walk to the center of the platform and begin to inherit my divine position."

The Creation God guided Ye Feng.

Ye Feng followed the instructions, stepped onto the stairs, and walked to the center of the Yin-Yang Eye.

Suddenly, waves of golden light rippled from the circular platform beneath Ye Feng's feet, surging into Ye Feng body. Ye Feng felt his body instantly solidify under this energy, completely unable to resist.

Ye Feng observed that when the energy passed through the Bagua platform, it was multicolored. Upon entering the Four Symbols region, the eight different colors condensed into four. When the energy flowed into the Yin-Yang region, it became gold and silver. Finally, the gold and silver light continued to flow towards the center of the Bagua, forming gray energy.

Gray energy completely enveloped Ye Feng's body. The patterns of the World Tree between Ye Feng's brows shone with dazzling light. Apart from his eyes being able to see, his body could not react in any way.

Suddenly, without any warning, a searing sensation surged from Ye Feng's back. A powerful tearing pain erupted, causing Ye Feng's vision to go black, and he instantly lost consciousness.

When Ye Feng woke up, he was already beside Bo Saixi.

"Awake?" Bo Saixi asked.

"Mm." Ye Feng nodded.

"Congratulations on becoming the first god in the Douluo Continent in a thousand years," Bo Saixi congratulated.

"Thank you." Ye Feng smiled, paused, and asked, "How long was I unconscious?"

"You were unconscious for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea."

"Oh."

"Ye Feng, can I tell you something?"

"You say."

"Do you have any way to solve my problem?"

"The problem with you?" Ye Feng seemed to be thinking. He felt there was only one question that could stump Bo Saixi, so he tentatively asked, "Are you referring to your identity as the Sea God High Priest?"

"Pretty much. I see that when you became a god, no one opened the gates of divinity for you. In other words, no one offered sacrifices for you. Does this mean that inheriting a divine position doesn't necessarily require someone to sacrifice their life?" Bo Saixi's eyes shone with anticipation as she awaited Ye Feng's answer.

Bo Saixi was a man.

If you're human, then most of you don't want to die.

Especially those of high status, they would be even less willing to die.

As the Sea God High Priest, Bo Saixi thought the same thing. Given a choice, who would choose to die?

"Bo Saixi, you are wrong. My path to godhood was opened by all things on Sea God Island contributing their power," Ye Feng said.

"So, does that mean I have no choice but to obediently fulfill my mission?" Bo Saixi's eyes were filled with disappointment, then a cold killing intent flashed in them.

Bo Saixi doesn't want to die yet. Therefore, Bo Saixi decides to interfere with the divine trials and kill Shui Bing'er, who has obtained the Sea God Nine Tests.

"Xi Xi, you're wrong," Ye Feng said.

"Wrong? Where did I go wrong?" Bo Saixi asked.

"I'm asking you, who are you?"

"Bo Saixi."

"What is the Sea God also called?"

"The Lord Sea God's honorific name is Poseidon?"

What is the relationship between the two of you?

"Well!"

Bo Saixi was stunned.

What is her relationship with the Sea God?

The Sea God was the ancestor of the Bo Sa Clan, and also the ancestor of Bo Saixi. In other words, the relationship between Bo Saixi and the Sea God was that of ancestor and descendant.

"Do you know why you became the Sea God High Priest?" Ye Feng asked.

"Are you trying to say that I received his favor?" Bo Saixi chuckled self-deprecatingly. Despite being ancestor and descendant, the Sea God seemed determined to torment Bo Saixi, making her the Sea God High Priest, for which she had to sacrifice her life for the next Sea God.

"Yes, you have indeed received his favor. Have you ever heard of the term 'Divine Soul Spirit '?"

"Divine Soul Spirit? What is Divine Soul Spirit?" Bo Saixi asked.

"By fusing human souls with divine power, a kind of ghost that wanders in the Divine Realm is formed. The Divine Realm calls it the Divine Soul Spirit. The Divine Soul Spirit is different from a god; it has no divine position, but it can live almost as long as heaven in the Divine Realm," Ye Feng answered in detail.

"You mean, this is the Sea God's favor upon me. He wants to turn me into Divine Soul Spirit after I sacrifice my life?" Bo Saixi looked astonished; it was the first time she had ever heard the term "Divine Soul Spirit."

"Yes." Ye Feng nodded.

"Then why didn't he tell me?" Bo Saixi asked skeptically.

"Because the Divine Realm has rules. Not just anyone can become Divine Soul Spirit. Because of these rules, he cannot tell you this. Your talent is not enough to become the Sea God, so he can only help you in this way, allowing you to live as long as the heavens."

Really?

Bo Saixi still harbored doubts.

"To become Divine Soul Spirit, a deity must expend divine power to transform its soul into Divine Soul Spirit. This is something many gods cannot accept. If you were not a descendant of the Sea God, I could not be so certain. But since you are a descendant of the Sea God and also Sea God High Priest, I can be 90 percent certain that the Sea God will make you Divine Soul Spirit in the Divine Realm after your sacrifice," Ye Feng answered in detail.

"Thanks."

The cold killing intent in Bo Saixi's eyes vanished. For her, this was good news.

After Ye Feng's analysis, Bo Saixi herself felt that the Sea God was very likely to make her a divine Divine Soul Spirit in the Divine Realm.

"Of course, that's on the condition that you dutifully fulfill your duties. Don't let the Sea God dislike you," Ye Feng reminded him.

"Um."

Bo Saixi nodded, a smile appearing on his face that he hadn't shown in a long time since becoming High Priest.

Whew~

Bo Saixi smiled.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

Ripples spread across the surrounding ocean, and the plants and trees on Sea God Island tilted slightly toward Bo Saixi.

Ye Feng stared at Bo Saixi, stunned. At this moment, Bo Saixi was noble and elegant, not seductive, but capable of softening his heart.

I love it!

Ye Feng felt an impulse; he really wanted to pull Bo Saixi into his arms.

Bo Saixi smiled and said happily, "Ye Feng, I suddenly realized that chatting with you is a very enjoyable thing."

"Oh, really?"

Ye Feng snapped out of his reverie, saw Bo Saixi nodding affirmatively, smiled, and continued, "Since you find chatting with me enjoyable, why don't we talk about something else?"
