"Thank you, Palace Master Zhou, for bestowing this elixir!"

Bo Saixi expressed her gratitude with a solemn expression, her voice gentle and melodious.

In her mind, since this Rebirth Pill contained primordial divine power, it must be a precious treasure left behind by the divine ancestors of the Xuanyuan Family. It must be extremely rare and valuable, and there might even be only one such pill left.

The fact that Palace Master Zhou was willing to give her such a precious elixir touched her deeply.

Moreover, Palace Master Zhou had previously helped her ascend to the divine position; she simply did not know how to repay such a great kindness!

Seeing Bo Saixi's touched expression, Zhou Chen really wanted her to know that the Rebirth Pill was actually a mass-produced product, sold in the System Shop, and not that rare.

As for the Sea God Godhood, it was only because of the time constraints and his desire for Bo Saixi's body, wanting to possess her completely, that he bestowed upon her the divine bones and God Pill of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

However, after thinking about it, Zhou Chen decided not to say anything and let Bo Saixi continue to be moved, which would be in his best interest.

After all, women are emotional and quite adept at self-pity.

If Bo Saixi were too moved and felt that she could not repay such a great kindness, she might even offer herself to him!

In that case, he would make a huge profit.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Palace Master Zhou, what's wrong?"

Bo Saixi looked at Zhou Chen, who was grinning foolishly, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said with a strange expression.

"It's nothing, I just thought of some happy things."

Upon hearing Bo Saixi's question, Zhou Chen immediately suppressed his smile and replied in a serious tone.

"Oh, is that so?"

The simple-minded Bo Saixi nodded, then changed the subject herself, looking at Zhou Chen and smiling amicably, "Palace Master Zhou, since you rarely come here, why don't you go to Sea God Island for a visit, so that I can show you some hospitality?"

"Alright, then I'll accept your offer without hesitation."

Zhou Chen was just thinking about how to get closer to Bo Saixi when this opportunity presented itself. He immediately seized the chance and pretended to be shy as he agreed...

Three minutes later.

Sea God Island, a five-colored auspicious cloud remained, and standing on the cloud were Zhou Chen and Bo Saixi.

Zhou Chen's Soul Power has now exceeded level 90. Soaring Cloud Riding Mist thousands of miles across the Demon Whale Sea Area and arrive above Sea God Island in the blink of an eye.

Looking out, Sea God Island is a sea of green, with all sorts of plants growing lushly, and you can't see the other side of the island at all.

It should be noted that Zhou Chen's Heavenly Vision Earthly Hearing Technique has been cultivated to the point where he can observe a range of hundreds of miles. With the addition of a high vantage point overlooking the area, the observation distance is greatly increased.

Even so, he couldn't see the end of it at a glance, which shows how big the Sea God Island is.

Rather than calling it Sea God Island, it would be better to call this place Sea God Continent.

Zhou Chen rode the clouds and slowly descended onto Sea God Island, where a gentle breeze carrying the scent of the sea immediately greeted him.

The gentle breeze was refreshing and invigorating, instantly making Zhou Chen, who had been engaged in fierce battle for a long time, feel relaxed and happy, and the remaining killing intent in his body slowly dissipated.

Seeing the beach reflecting a pure white and delicate light under the sun, with the azure sky and clear sea echoing each other, the sea and sky blending into one, seagulls soaring and fish swimming, the beautiful scenery makes one feel calm and at peace.

"High Priestess, this is a wonderful place to visit!"

Zhou Chen stepped onto the soft, cotton-like sand, turned his head to look at Bo Saixi, and chuckled.

Bo Saixi shook his head and sighed, "That's true, but the Soul Master of the Sea God Hall are born on this Sea God Island and have to stay here for their entire lives. Even the most beautiful scenery can be a bit monotonous."

"That's true."

Seeing Bo Saixi's melancholy expression, Zhou Chen seized the opportunity to chime in, while also taking a jab at the former Sea God Poseidon, saying leisurely, "Poseidon's oracle was truly inhumane, actually ordering that Sea Soul Master could never leave Sea God Island, isolating them from the world."

"Does Palace Master Zhou know why Poseidon issued this divine decree?"

Bo Saixi turned his head and said softly.

"Please enlighten me High Priestess."

Zhou Chen spoke sincerely. Although he knew why, he still felt it was better to leave the opportunity to explain to Bo Saixi.

After all, humans are creatures who like to teach and reveal secrets, so having Bo Saixi explain things can satisfy her desire for self-expression and in order to please her.

Well, this isn't simp behavior; it's just normal behavior to please a girl.

Sure enough, upon hearing that even the all-powerful Palace Master Zhou did not know, Bo Saixi immediately became interested and said softly, "This is all because of the power of faith."

"The power of faith?"

Zhou Chen feigned confusion. As a skilled straight man, he was adept at manipulating women's emotions.

"The power of faith is actually divine power."

Bo Saixi slightly raised her delicate, white chin and said, "The core divine power of a deity is actually formed from the power of faith. Moreover, human deities are best worshipped and made offerings by humans. The power of faith provided by ten Sea Soul Beast is less than that provided by an ordinary human. As for Sea Soul Master with Soul Power, they provide even more power of faith than ordinary humans!"

Bo Saixi curled his red lips, his tone filled with disdain for the former Sea God: "That's why Poseidon doesn't allow the inhabitants of Sea God Island to set foot on land. This old fellow doesn't want the simple inhabitants of Sea God Island to come into contact with the outside world. He's afraid that if the inhabitants all go to live on the bustling land, they will no longer believe in the Sea God and therefore won't provide him with the power of faith."

"The more people who believe, the more powerful the deity becomes, and the stronger its influence grows!"

"I only understood this after I became a god."

"In that case, the inhabitants of Sea God Island are really quite pitiful."

Zhou Chen put on an indignant look and said in a low voice, "They are simply like cattle and sheep, kept in captivity on this Sea God Island. Just as cattle and sheep provide milk and meat, they provide the Sea God with a continuous stream of faith power."

"Yes, the inhabitants of Sea God Island are like cattle and sheep, slaughtered at will without their knowledge. How pitiful! Fortunately, I am now the Sea God, and it is time to change this divine decree."

Bo Saixi's beautiful, sea-blue eyes gazed into the distance, a look of compassion flashing within them. Then, in a solemn tone, she said, "I intend to grant the inhabitants of Sea God Island the freedom to move about, allowing them to freely travel between Sea God Island and the mainland."

After a pause, Bo Saixi hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and continued, "If they no longer wish to worship the Sea God, no longer wish to worship the Sea God Hall, and want to cross the sea to live on land, then so be it."

"The High Priestess is indeed beautiful inside and out."

Zhou Chen seized the opportunity to praise him, then changed the subject and continued, "However, faith in and worship of the Sea God do not conflict with people's free movement; both can be achieved."

"This... how is this possible?"

Bo Saixi turned her head in surprise, looked directly at Zhou Chen, and said calmly, "Although Sea God Island does not lack basic living supplies, it is incomparable to the prosperous cities on the mainland."

"If the inhabitants of Sea God Island can leave the Sea God Island, they will probably all live on the mainland. There is no Sea God Hall on the mainland, nor any worship of Sea God. As time goes by and generations of descendants multiply, they will gradually forget life on the sea and forget the Sea God they once worshipped."

"Why not just open the Sea God Hall on land? Learn from the Spirit Hall; they've opened branch temples all over the two great empires."

Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow and offered his solution.

"Impossible, the land is the territory of other gods."

Bo Saixi gave a wry smile and shook his head, saying, "Take the Angel God of the Spirit Hall, for example. She has almost made most of the humans in the Tiandou Empire and Star Luo Empire Empires worship her."

"For example, the Asura God has also captured the faith of tens of thousands of Evil Soul Masters and hundreds of thousands of residents in the City of Slaughter."

"There are also the War God and the God of Slaughter, two combat-type deities, who are worshipped by many soldiers of the Star Luo Empire. In addition, there are the Nine-Colored Goddess, the God of Emotions, and the Food God, which are worshipped by support-type Soul Master and ordinary civilians, as well as the various Elemental Gods worshipped by elemental-type Soul Master, and so on."

"The gods such Angel God, the Asura God, and the War God are either god-kings of the Divine Realm, or chief gods of the same level as the Sea God, or gods who are particularly skilled in combat. They are simply not something that the Sea God alone can withstand."

"Moreover, the Sea God Hall only has an advantage in the ocean; it's completely useless on land. Even if it competes fairly with other gods on land, it can't win. After all, most humans have no contact with the ocean, so naturally they have no motivation to worship the Sea God."

Hearing Bo Saixi's series of words, Zhou Chen smiled dismissively and said, "High Priestess, you are being a bit too pessimistic."

"So what do you think we should do?"

Bo Saixi rolled her eyes, and the instant charm she exuded made Zhou Chen's heart flutter.

Calming his mind, Zhou Chen said solemnly, "It's very simple. I am the Nation Protecting Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the husband of Empress Xue Ke. As long as Xue Ke issues Imperial Decree, most cities within the Heaven Dou Empire can have Sea God Hall built and statues of the Sea God enshrined! This will encourage the empire's Soul Master and commoners to worship the Sea God!"

"Moreover, most of the Spirit Hall Branch within the Heaven Dou Empire were demolished after the Heaven Dou Palace Coup. Xue Ke had only recently ascended the throne when she ordered the people of the empire to stop worshipping the Angel God."

"In other words, the biggest enemy of the Sea God Hall has been almost completely eliminated."

Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi was immediately stunned.

You can play it like this?

Seeing that Bo Saixi was stunned by his words, Zhou Chen immediately pressed his advantage and said, "What we can do is not only get the emperor to issue Imperial Decree, but also use some small favors to make the common people and Soul Master automatically believe in the Sea God."

"For example, the Sea God Hall can often hold banquets in its various branch temples, invite commoners to participate, distribute food and supplies to the commoners, and win their hearts and minds."

"For example, the Sea God Hall can help water-type Soul Master advance their Soul Power and obtain Soul Ring. Then, the empire will issue an edict to transfer the gold coin subsidies given to Soul Master by the Spirit Hall to the Sea God Hall for distribution."

After a pause, Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Once they develop a favorable impression of the Sea God Hall, are you worried about a lack of worshippers of the Sea God?"

Upon hearing these words, Bo Saixi looked at Zhou Chen with admiration in her beautiful eyes.

The Lord of the Palace Master Zhou is incredibly intelligent and resourceful!

No wonder so many beautiful women are fond of him; this Palace Master Zhou is truly captivating.

However, she fell in love with Tang Chen first.

Thinking of Tang Chen, Bo Saixi felt a pang of pain in his heart.

However, she didn't show her pain. Instead, she took a deep breath and calmed down.

What she needs to do now is to reciprocate.

Why did Zhou Chen propose to expand the Sea God Hall throughout the Heaven Dou Empire?

Bo Saixi guessed that this Nation Protecting Prince wanted the power of Sea God Island to submit to him and become a sharp sword loyal to the Heaven Dou Empire.

You should know that Sea God Island now has her as First-Level God, seven titled Douluo, and three thousand Sea Soul Master belonging to the Sea God Hall!

This force is far stronger than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, and Upper Three Sects.

Thinking of this, Bo Saixi didn't hesitate and immediately said, "Palace Master Zhou, if the Heaven Dou Empire ever needs anything in the future, the Sea God Hall, from myself down, will do everything in its power to assist!"

"Well... thank you very much, High Priestess."

Bo Saixi's words were a pleasant surprise for Zhou Chen.

He originally just wanted to pick up girls, but he didn't expect there to be a bonus.

Zhou Chen, who had won over Bo Saixi's goodwill, now had a slight smile on his lips and a glint of light in his eyes.

Sure enough, using the knowledge of a time traveler to pick up girls is really awesome!

Just as Zhou Chen was in a good mood, a slightly surprised voice suddenly came from the forest ahead.

"Who is it?"

With a low shout, three figures suddenly sprang out from the woods.

These people had different appearances, wore light yellow outfits, and were all Soul Master.

On Sea God Island, Sea Soul Master are ranked according to the color of their clothing. The Sea Soul Master in front of us, dressed in yellow, are only second-ranked, higher than Soul Master in white; otherwise, they wouldn't have been sent to the edge of Sea God Island as scouts.

Above them are Soul Master in purple, black, and red robes.

On Sea God Island, only the former High Priestess Bo Saixi was qualified to wear red. Even the Saint Pillar Guardian Douluo, such as the Sea Dragon Douluo, could only wear black.

The three looked at Zhou Chen and Bo Saixi, and lingered on Bo Saixi for a moment. Their gazes instantly changed from surprise to shock and reverence!

"Greetings, High Priestess!"

The three Soul Master knelt on one knee in unison, their tone reverent and their expressions worshipful.

However, they were clearly unaware that Bo Saixi had already ascended to godhood and become the Sea God they worshipped.

Get up.

Bo Saixi smiled gently, without putting on any airs of a deity. Instead, she waved her hand lightly, and her gentle strength helped the three Soul Masters to their feet.

Just then, seven blue streaks of Guang Biao shot down from the sky and landed instantly. They were none other than the seven Saint Pillar Guardian Douluo, including the Sea Dragon Douluo!

"Your Sea God Your Majesty, you've returned?!"

Sea Dragon Douluo and the others exclaimed in surprise, their hearts finally at ease. Immediately, they all knelt on one knee, just like the three Soul Masters from before.
