Sea God Trident: This Is Definitely Not a Job for Humans!
"No, I mean it's alive?" Bo Saixi asked in surprise.
"Of course. Everything in the world has its own lifespan and consciousness. The Sea God Trident accompanied Sea God in his battles and has long since developed its own consciousness. It's just that it has been dormant since Sea God left it here," Ye Feng replied.
"Does everything have consciousness? Does a stone have consciousness too?" Bo Saixi asked Ye Feng with continued skepticism.
Bo Saixi believed that the Sea God Trident was merely a weapon made of stone, like the stones on the beach, devoid of consciousness. Since stones lacked consciousness, she reasoned that the Sea God Trident shouldn't possess any either.
"Certainly."
Ye Feng nodded firmly, looked at Bo Saixi, and continued, "Xi Xi, do you know? I've heard a legend. It's about the stone you just mentioned. Once, a monkey sprang out of the stone."
"What? A monkey can jump out of a rock?"
"Yes. The legend says that monkey is called Sun Wukong. He was Five-Colored Stone that absorbed the essence of the Sun Moon, eventually developing intelligence and becoming a stone monkey. When this stone monkey was born, the heavens and earth shook. He eventually became an apprentice and learned many skills. He even caused a great disturbance in the Heavenly Palace. His Heavenly Palace is equivalent to the Divine Realm where your Sea God resides. Don't you think he's amazing?"
"Such a thing is true?"
Bo Saixi still looked at Ye Feng with a questioning gaze.
If the Sea God Trident hadn't shown signs of consciousness at that moment, Bo Saixi would have simply taken Ye Feng's words as a story.
"Certainly."
Ye Feng concluded, "Therefore, everything has consciousness and life. The only difference is the strength of their consciousness."
Ye Feng looked at Shui Bing'er and smiled. In fact, in his eyes, the Sea God Trident was equivalent to the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle buried by the East Sea Dragon Palace.
All divine weapons gradually develop sentience. The Sea God Trident has existed for far too long; Ye Feng has already sensed the dormant sentience within it. Ye Feng is certain that the Sea God Trident Poseidon, like the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle of the Sea, is not meant to remain buried. That's why he's guiding Shui Bing'er on how to correctly complete her Seventh Test.
Shui Bing'er awaited the halberd with sincerity.
Shui Bing'er reached out and touched the Sea God Trident from a distance, communicating with it Sea God Trident. The communication was simple: Shui Bing'er wanted the Sea God Trident to sense the time limit of her Seventh Test.
The Sea God Trident retains the Sea God's Power, and Shui Bing'er is the recipient of the Sea God Nine Tests. It wouldn't be difficult for them to communicate telepathically.
Before long, the golden ripples emanating from the Sea God Trident, like ocean waves, became more and more frequent, like a restless heart beating wildly.
Shui Bing'er was very satisfied with the Sea God Trident's actions. They were exactly what Shui Bing'er had expected. Shui Bing'er grinned and said happily, "Sea God Trident, if you don't come out now, I'm leaving. I won't be taking you out to play anymore!"
Buzz
The Sea God Hall trembled.
The Sea God Hall trembled as violently as a child throwing a tantrum at its mother, crying and demanding to go outside and play.
Bo Saixi was shocked.
A moment later, the Sea God Trident broke free of its restraints and truly flew out. However, it didn't fly towards Shui Bing'er, but rather towards Ye Feng, the Creation God.
Ye Feng is the Creation God. Among the abilities he controls is the power of the ocean.
Ye Feng is stronger than Shui Bing'er, so the one who recognized the Sea God Trident as its master was Ye Feng, not Shui Bing'er.
Even Shui Bing'er was stunned.
Ye Feng remained calm and said, "Sea God Trident, you've gone in the wrong direction. Shui Bing'er is my future wife; surely that wouldn't be beneath you?"
Ye Feng's words were quite clear: he, Ye Feng, did not think much of the Sea God Trident.
The Sea God Trident understood Ye Feng's thoughts and flew to Shui Bing'er's side. Shui Bing'er reached out and grasped the Sea God Trident.
Buzz
Shui Bing'er's eyes were unfocused. Her consciousness had entered a strange space.
Not only Shui Bing'er, but Ye Feng's consciousness was also invited into this strange space.
In front of Shui Bing'er and Ye Feng was a huge phantom.
"Sea God?" Shui Bing'er was taken aback.
"You did very well. Even better than I did back then. I didn't expect you to pass my seventh test by cheating." The Sea God praised Shui Bing'er.
"What was the content of the seventh test originally?" Shui Bing'er had just finished saying this when she added, "However, that's not important anymore. What's important is that I've already completed the Seventh Test."
Shui Bing'er's Seventh Test was originally a trial of the soul. Shui Bing'er needed to relive the Sea God 'Sea God past experiences, specifically his efforts to quell the war among the Sea Clan.
"It's rare to find someone with such a mindset. The path you take in the future will be yours to choose. Becoming a god is just the beginning; you will face even more cruel choices in the future." The Sea God earnestly advised Shui Bing'er, looking at Ye Feng, and added, "However, you are luckier than me."
"Is that why you didn't make Xi Xi your successor to the divine throne?" Ye Feng asked.
"You are very clever," Sea God praised Ye Feng.
Sea God was Bo Saixi's ancestor, and in fact, Bo Saixi's talents were even greater than Shui Bing'er's. However, Sea God did not make Bo Saixi Sea God successor.
Why?
Because of what the Sea God just said. Becoming a god is only the beginning. In the future, gods will face even more cruel choices. The Sea God is tired of the Divine Realm Divine Realm and suffers greatly from its disorder, which is why he is looking for a successor and why he did not let Bo Saixi become the next Sea God.
"Should I bow to you?" the Sea God asked Ye Feng.
"No need. For Xi Xi's sake, you don't need to bow to me," Ye Feng said.
Sea God smiled and walked up to Ye Feng. He bowed to Ye Feng.
"Greetings, Ancestor God."
After the Sea God finished speaking, he vanished without a trace.
What just appeared was merely a wisp of Divine Sense left by the Sea God on the Sea God Trident.
With the disappearance of the Sea God's remnant consciousness, Ye Feng and Shui Bing'er's consciousnesses also returned to their original bodies.
"By the water, you have passed the Sea God Seventh Trial. Your Sea God Affinity has increased by 15%. You have gained the approval of the Sea God Trident Sea God Trident have the right to use it. Your total affinity with the Sea God is now 85%."
"Is that all?"
Qian Renxue, Ye Lingling, Huo Wu, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Hu Liena stared in disbelief at the scene before them.
While they were still in a daze, expectant voices echoed in their minds.
"Qian Renxue, with her amazing talent and strength, helped her companions overcome numerous difficulties and completed all Top Seven Trials. She obtained the red-level authority of Sea God Island, was granted the authority of the Second Priest, and her Soul Power increased by three levels. All her Soul Ring cultivation levels increased by five thousand years. She was also awarded two additional God-Given Soul Ring."
