Thinking back to the night before, I had been lying in bed scrolling through Douluo Continent. Damn it, how speechless—so many people died, and the more I watched Tang San, the more I wanted to slap him... Great. After cursing him out, I successfully transmigrated... How ridiculous. Fine, I transmigrated, but I started out on Sea God Island.
A cute little bundle lay sprawled on the beach, still unaware of what was about to happen to her.
She looked around in bewilderment. Then her mind suddenly spun, and when she opened her eyes again, she was standing inside a grand hall.
A man sat in the center of the hall, dressed in purple and radiating an air of nobility. Upon seeing the little girl, he merely calmly fiddled with something in his hand. The atmosphere was a little awkward. The man coughed twice, drawing the little girl's attention.
Unable to hold back any longer, the little girl asked, "Who are you?" She stared at the man warily.
"I am the God of Space, one of the Seven Elemental Gods and a First-level God of the God Realm. You are the inheritor I have chosen. Are you willing to inherit my Divine Position and complete the corresponding trials?"
The little girl froze. Transmigrating into Douluo Continent was ridiculous enough already, wasn't it?
And now, when she was only a child of a few years old, a Divine Position wanted her to inherit it?
Wasn't that an even more outrageous cheat than Tang San's?
The little girl did not answer him. The God of Space frowned slightly, thinking that the child was unwilling. Well, that made sense. A three-year-old might not even know what a god was. Sigh...
"If you are unwilling..."
Before the God of Space could finish, the little girl interrupted him in a soft, childish voice. "Willing, willing! It is this little girl's honor to be favored by Lord God King. How could I possibly refuse?"
Now it was the God of Space's turn to freeze. A three-year-old child... knew quite a lot...
What he had actually wanted to say was that if she had not made up her mind, she could wait a few years until she was older before coming back...
It was fine. Since she had agreed, she had agreed. His inheritor was so clever at only three years old; her future was surely limitless.
"You are still young. I will come find you again when you awaken your martial soul to begin the inheritance trials. Before then, return to your normal life."
After saying that, Mu Yu returned to the beach where she had started. She was still dazed. She had somehow become the inheritor of the God of Space just like that... How careless.
Still, the God of Space had said he would come find her after she awakened her martial soul, so she was currently just an ordinary child. She was utterly speechless.
Why was she on a beach? Where was this? Where were her parents?
At that moment, a figure leaped out of the sea and transformed into a girl in white.
"Huh? Whose child is this? Little one, where is your mother?"
Mu Yu was somewhat stunned. The girl wore silver clothes, and her skin was a pinkish gray, like... the color of a dolphin.
Wait! That face, combined with the surroundings—could this be... Sea God Island?!
Wow, why did she start out on Sea God Island?! Seeing that the child did not react, the gray-skinned girl poked her cheek. Wu~ So soft, so cute, so tempting to squish.
Mu Yu could only rage helplessly, mumbling indistinctly, "I don't have a mother."
"Huh? You're an orphan?" A trace of pity appeared in the girl's eyes.
Should she take this little one home with her? Otherwise, the child definitely would not survive three days.
But she could not leave the sea. She could not exactly toss the child into the ocean, could she?
Then inspiration struck her. She picked up the little girl with both hands. "Without adults around, you'll definitely die here. How about this? This young lady will do a good deed for once and find you somewhere to live!"
Mu Yu had already roughly guessed where this so-called place to live would be. She did not resist and obediently let the girl treat her like a doll.
The girl liked the little one more and more the longer she looked at her. She absolutely had to find this child a good home.
Sea Horse Douluo's place seemed perfect. Sea Horse Douluo was so kind and easygoing that he certainly would not ignore a pitiful orphan. With that thought, she sprinted toward Sea Horse City.
A hundred-thousand-year soul beast could run incredibly fast. Along the way, Mu Yu had gone numb. Who understood her pain? She was still only a three-year-old child!
Upon entering Sea Horse City, the girl stopped before the Sea Horse City Lord's Mansion. She knocked on the door excitedly, then charged straight inside when there was no response.
"Lord Sea Horse Douluo, hurry over and see what I brought!"
The girl pushed open the doors of the City Lord's Mansion and saw seven people seated in the center of the main hall.
She instantly turned to stone.
"Xiaobai, why are you always so rash? As Lord Sea God's mount, can't you be a little more composed?"
The man at the head of the group was bare-chested, his physique shaped like an inverted triangle. He had broad shoulders and granite-like back muscles, while his dark-blue, shoulder-length hair curled naturally.
Mu Yu froze. The people sitting here had to be the seven Sacred Pillar Guardians. The one who had just spoken was probably Sea Dragon Douluo. Whether in bearing or conduct, he overshadowed everyone around him.
"Lord Sea Dragon, wasn't I just in a hurry?" Xiaobai pouted and acted cute.
Only then did the seven notice Mu Yu.
"Huh? Xiaobai, whose child did you steal?"
Looking toward the voice, she saw a girl sitting there with an enormous fish tail, its graceful curve extending all the way to her waist. She wore a small black top that did not even cover her navel. Her large sky-blue eyes resembled the sky more than the ocean, and her stunning face carried a faint smile at the corners of her lips. She had to be Sea Woman Douluo.
Only then did Xiaobai explain, "I picked this child up by the beach. She seems to be an orphan without any parents. I saw how pitiful she was, so I brought her back."
Sea Dragon Douluo frowned and said disapprovingly, "Xiaobai, you were too reckless. What if this child has parents? How worried would they be? Or perhaps she comes from a family outside Sea God Island, and what if her parents are royalty or nobles... It's not that Sea God Island is afraid of them, it's just..."
Before he could finish, Mu Yu began babbling indistinctly again. "I'm not a bad person's child. I don't have a father or mother."
The little girl looked at them pitifully.
The seven Sacred Pillar Douluos: "..." Sea Woman Douluo: She was so cute! I want this little one! I want to hold her, ahhh!
She calmly walked over to Xiaobai and took Mu Yu away despite Xiaobai's reluctant gaze.
"Actually, since the little one says so, she must be a pitiful little orphan. Why not let her stay here for now?"
As she spoke, she kneaded Mu Yu's cheeks twice. Mu Yu, meanwhile, was more than happy to snuggle against the beautiful older sister and rubbed herself eagerly against Sea Woman Douluo.
The other Sacred Pillar Douluos softened as well, but Sea Dragon Douluo still felt it was inappropriate, even though he liked the child very much.
"Why don't we ask the Great Enshrined?" Sea Delusion Douluo suggested.
Sea Dragon's eyes immediately lit up. Good idea! Why had he not thought of that? The others also rose, preparing to ask the Great Enshrined together.
The moment they stepped outside, they saw Bo Saixi standing at the entrance. "Greetings, Great Enshrined."
The seven immediately knelt upon seeing Bo Saixi. Mu Yu could not help marveling at how truly beautiful Bo Saixi was!
She finally understood why Tang Chen had been willing to search everywhere for a way to become a god for Bo Saixi.
Bo Saixi waved a hand, signaling for them to rise. "I came this time because I have something to tell you."
Her gaze swept over everyone before finally settling on me in Sea Woman Douluo's arms.
Seeing this, Sea Woman Douluo hurriedly said, "Great Enshrined, this child..."
Before she could finish, Bo Saixi took me from her arms.
"I know. She is an orphan whom you found, correct?"
The Titled Douluos felt a wave of guilt. "Yes..."
Bo Saixi sighed softly. "I know this child's situation. She is connected to Lord Sea God."
Bo Saixi's words stunned everyone. This child... was connected to Lord Sea God?
They stared at the child in disbelief. Sea Woman Douluo instantly felt as if she were holding a massive boulder worth a thousand gold pieces.
"Don't be nervous. Lord Sea God said that this child is to live on Sea God Island for the time being. The rest can wait until later."
After hearing Bo Saixi's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Only Mu Yu remained utterly confused. She was inheriting the God of Space's Divine Position, so what the hell did that have to do with Sea God?
She did not think much of it. Most likely, it was another trick by the God of Space.
She did not know that, just moments ago, the God of Space had held a huge blade to Sea God's neck. "My inheritor will be staying here. You have no objections, right?"
Sea God trembled. "No objections, of course not." The God of Space left in satisfaction.
