The Sea God said, " Ye Tianxing hunted down the Fourth Trial target of my Sea God's Nine Trials and absorbed the Spirit Ring of the Evil Orca King, so he and I are destined to meet."
Fire God retorted, "What nonsense about fate!"
The Water God continued, " Ye Tianxing was first discovered by me and the Fire God. This child's First Martial Soul possesses the attributes of Extreme Ice and Extreme Fire. At such a young age, his Soul Power has reached the level of Soul Saint. Moreover, he has collected all six Soul Bone required to become a god, except for the spine bone."
The Fire God glanced at the Sea God indifferently and sneered, "Don't think I don't know how many successors you've found for yourself since you became a Sea God. Now you've set your sights on Ye Tianxing and dare to compete with us for him!"
Sea God countered, "Then what should I do if he hunts down the targets of my Sea God's Nine Trials?"
What should we do?
The Fire God and the Water God exchanged a glance and laughed in unison, "Let's see what happens!"
"Don't push your luck! Don't forget that Ye Tianxing is planning to go to my Sea God Island!" The Sea God smiled slightly, somewhat eager to try.
" Sea God, have you forgotten the ironclad rule that gods are not allowed to interfere in the mortal realm?" the Fire God warned.
"When Ye Tianxing visits my Sea God Island, he will inevitably touch one of the seven Sea God Pillar that I have set up. At that time, I will give him a test, and then it will be beyond my ability to stop him."
The Sea God believed he had the upper hand, but the gods of water and fire did not see it that way.
The two men stepped forward, each supporting the Sea God on one side, and flew towards the God Realm Committee.
"What are you doing? Do you need those people to judge just because you're fighting for an heir?" The Sea God was puzzled and was being carried away before he could react, getting closer and closer to the God Realm Committee.
"To be honest, back when the God of Fire God and I approached Ye Tianxing, we had a similar argument. Do you know what Ye Tianxing said back then?" the Water God said with a smile.
"Oh? What did he say?" Sea God asked curiously.
"He said I want it all!" Fire God was extremely satisfied with Ye Tianxing; it was truly a perfect answer.
To avoid offending either oneself or the Water God.
"So you all..." Sea God seemed to realize something.
The Water God explained, "Water and fire have been incompatible since ancient times. As you know, I am naturally at odds with the Fire God god, and this is even true in choosing a successor."
" Ye Tianxing is different. After absorbing the two plants that grew from the place where the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings fell, the First Martial Soul of this little guy, the Withered Wood Bow, actually has the attributes of Extreme Ice and Extreme Fire at the same time."
"Moreover, the Withered Wood Bow has evolved into a quasi-divine artifact, and the two plants have also been integrated into it, forming two spaces: fire and ice."
" Sea God, my inheritance and that of the Fire God have long been integrated into two spaces, using Ye Tianxing's First Martial Soul as the carrier."
"Once he finishes absorbing the Spirit Ring of that Evil Orca King, the divine test that Fire God and I have carefully prepared for him will begin."
"So, there's still one spot left for his Second Martial Soul!" The Sea God suddenly realized, then quickly pulled the two aside and laughed, "Wouldn't it be great if he gave it to me!"
"Give it to you?" Fire God sneered. "Who was it just now? They came to us demanding people just because Ye Tianxing killed the Evil Orca King, and now they want me to give you the remaining spot?"
The Water God immediately grabbed the Sea God and rushed towards the God Realm Committee, laughing as they flew, "Sharing happiness is better than enjoying it alone. Since you, Sea God, are trying to steal our man, then the Fire God and I will grant your wish. We'll introduce you to some competitors. I think those guys should be very interested in Ye Tianxing, after all, that little guy's Second Martial Soul, the Azure Dragon Sword, far surpasses divine-level Martial Soul!"
The Sea God's face immediately turned green, because he really couldn't compete with those guys.
"Gentlemen, just pretend I didn't say anything." Sea God was having second thoughts. What if he failed to win the fight and was ridiculed by the other gods? Would he still be able to maintain his Poseidon in the Divine Realm?
"Why didn't you beg for mercy earlier? Just in time, the God Realm Committee has arrived!" The Fire God grinned.
"Our Lord Sea God, please come in!" The Water God kicked the Sea God inside.
A choice concerning Ye Tianxing has officially begun.
Countless days and nights passed, and Ye Tianxing sat calmly on the Azure Dragon Sword, the outermost Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring gradually calming down.
"He has broken through!" Flame Emperor exclaimed joyfully.
"These seven days have not been wasted. Tianxing absorbed Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring for the first time. Moreover, the Evil Orca King is a powerful Sea Spirit Beast. The Spirit Ring and Soul Bone it formed are extremely precious to Tianxing." Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass nodded, it seemed that he had not chosen the wrong person.
"If we hadn't been here guarding him, I reckon he would have flown into the sky to start absorbing it." After saying Jiaojiao, Jiao Jiao's flame-encased body suddenly froze. It seemed to sense several extremely powerful auras descending from the sky, pulling Ye Tianxing upwards.
Ye Tianxing's consciousness arrived in a chaotic place, where light and darkness were intertwined, but there was no one there. He looked around and couldn't see a single person.
Is anyone there?
"Nobody here?"
Did I time travel again?
Just as Ye Tianxing was wondering, a huge roulette wheel suddenly appeared in front of him.
Ye Tianxing thought it was about choosing which family to be reborn into, or being born into a particular family, but when he took a closer look, Ye Tianxing was dumbfounded.
The roulette wheel is divided into eight sections, each inscribed with the name of a deity.
The Asura God, Sea God, God of Emotion, God of Death, God of Greed, God of War, God of Calamity, and God of Wind.
"There are the names of eight deities listed here? What does that mean?"
Ye Tianxing stared in utter shock at the giant roulette wheel before him, wondering what kind of trouble the gods on it were up to. Then, he was surprised to find a writing brush in his hand, its tip red.
" Ye Tianxing, come forward."
The voice of Fire God appeared.
Following the Fire God's instructions, Ye Tianxing stepped forward and asked, " Fire God, what game are we playing?"
"Tianxing boy, to be honest, many of us have our eyes on you."
Ye Tianxing: "..."
This is truly an honor for me.
"Pick up your pen, and write your name under whichever god you choose."
As soon as the Fire God finished speaking, the Water God whispered, "You must keep your eyes open. If you choose the wrong path, you'll offend people in the Divine Realm."
"Offend someone?"
Ye Tianxing smiled, then picked up his pen and stepped forward, immediately ignoring the Sea God.
He himself said that only a dog would choose the Sea God Godhood, and then the God of War. That was just a Second-Level God, which was originally Dai Mubai's position.
I've never even heard of the others after that. As for the God of Emotion, that was something Huo Yuhao ten thousand years later, and Ye Tianxing doesn't get involved.
" Asura God, Ye Tianxing."
Ye Tianxing laughed after finishing writing. Had he offended someone?
If I choose the strongest one, who am I going to offend?
