Bo Saixi, Abandoned

There is no doubt that he was late.

But better late than never. After hesitating for a moment, the Sea God still separated a wisp of his divine sense and let it fall into Bo Saixi's Martial Soul Avatar.

"Young friend, please wait."

A faint golden light shone from Bo Saixi's Martial Soul Avatar behind her, quickly repairing the damaged parts, and the voice of the Sea God also came from it.

At this moment, Bo Saixi's Martial Soul Avatar broke free from her control, gained its own consciousness, and was occupied by the Sea God god's divine will.

A divine intervention!

After understanding what had happened, the Seven Holy Pillars opposite Han Li, after a brief moment of shock, decisively withdrew their Martial Soul Avatar, landed on the sea surface, knelt down, and bowed their heads very low. They also heard the Sea God address Han Li.

The meaning behind the word "young friend" made them tremble slightly.

Bo Saixi, still bound by the Ocean Current Hand, had her eyes, which had initially lit up with surprise, dilate rapidly in response to these words, and then lose their luster.

"Senior, this Seagod Island Trip has truly broadened my horizons considerably."

Since the main culprits had been brought out, Han Li naturally had to give them some face, so he dispersed the attacks targeting them and stopped.

However, not attacking doesn't mean the matter is over. Although what he said was still polite, it was clearly different from the previous warm exchange.

I knew it; Poseidon couldn't help but sigh in the Seagod Hall.

Although the information obtained from Rong Nianbing was not much, it did contain the most basic information, and he also deduced some things from the side.

As a result, before he could increase his investment again and loosen his grip on the God Exam, his High Priestess gave him a major setback.

Fortunately, although Han Li's tone was unfriendly, it wasn't the worst-case scenario yet, and there was still room for negotiation.

The Sea God Phantom looked down at the rather miserable-looking Bo Saixi, examined her injuries, and already made a plan in mind.

He swayed his body, trying to break free from Han Li's hold, but found that he was still not able to move. He increased his strength again, but still could not break free.

Huh? This situation surprised Poseidon, who was in the Seagod Hall.

He, the Sea God, though merely a wisp of divine thought carrying little power, was now being held in the hand formed by ocean currents. In the control and manipulation of the laws of water, he had actually lost to a young man who had not yet Self-Created Godhood. This was his Land of Inheritance, a region where he could fully unleash his power.

He could sense that if he transferred some more power, he could still trigger the rules to break through Han Li's restraints, but doing so would likely provoke the other party's resentment.

Moreover, this also explains why both Rong Nianbing and the Five Great God Kings have different attitudes towards Han Li, further confirming his thoughts.

So he turned his gaze to Han Li.

Fortunately, none of his subordinates dared to look in their direction at this moment, and their understanding of the rules was extremely limited, thus avoiding the possibility of being discovered.

Han Li sensed his struggle, met his gaze, and then released him from his restraints.

He did it on purpose, and the effect he achieved was due to his progress in the past few days. In fact, his control over the laws of water was not superior to that of the Sea God.

Aside from the God King, the First Level God are actually the highest-level gods in Douluo, possessing supreme power and authority, and ruling over a specific area of the universe.

Being able to advance to the First Level God inherently represents complete control over a law. Moreover, the Sea God is considered strong among First Level God, and both have 100% control over it, so there is no distinction between high and low.

However, Han Li is special because he controls a law. When other gods face him, they have to pay taxes to him. With equal power, he naturally has an easier time than his opponents.

(The Rule Ring mentioned in Chapter 329)

With only a wisp of Poseidon's divine thought descending, as long as Han Li didn't want to, the Sea God wouldn't be able to break free from his grasp before his divine power was exhausted.

Having achieved his goal and received the other party's message, Han Li naturally wouldn't choose to break off relations; what he had shown was enough.

If he really didn't care, he would have killed Bo Saixi long ago. To him now, the earthly representative of the gods is no threat at all.

The massive Ocean Current Hand spread out, and the Sea God Phantom still stood in mid-air, while Bo Saixi crashed onto the sea surface. Fortunately, although the Martial Soul Avatar was possessed by the Sea God, it was not completely severed from her. When Poseidon repaired the Sea God Phantom, she also received certain benefits.

She only looks miserable now; in fact, her injuries have healed a lot. After falling onto the sea, she also chose to kneel down, even more thoroughly than the Seven Holy Pillars.

Judging from the attitude of the Lord Sea God after he appeared, she knew clearly that she was doomed. Moreover, she had also vaguely sensed that the Lord Sea God's use of divine power was an invisible gift from the High Priestess over the past hundred years.

"This is not the place to talk, young friend. Let's return to Sea God Island and discuss this in the temple, shall we?"

Poseidon turned his head to look at Han Li, his attitude becoming somewhat gentler than before.

"Can."

Han Li glanced at Bo Saixi, who was kneeling completely, sneered, and transformed into a streak of blue light, heading towards Sea God Island.

Poseidon's phantom looked at the people of Sea God Island kneeling on the ground, exhaled, and said with a hint of dissatisfaction in its voice, "Alright, come with me."

With that, he waved his sleeve, and a faint golden light enveloped everyone present. He also transformed into a streak of light, chasing after Han Li's figure. In the process, he also canceled the defensive shield around Sea God Island.

With the protective shield removed, everyone on Sea God Island, which was under martial law, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, they saw two streaks of light flash across the sky and land on the Seagod Mountain. From the summit, the voice of the Sea Dragon Douluo came. "Just now, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King invaded, but the Lord Sea God manifested and repelled it. You can rest assured now."

Praises rang out on Sea God Island, and the island quickly returned to its peaceful daily routine.

At the Seagod Mountain, inside the Seagod Hall, the atmosphere was completely different from that at the foot of the mountain, carrying a hint of heaviness.

Han Li and the other two had been invited inside, and unusually, three seats had appeared in the previously empty temple, where they were sitting.

Meanwhile, everyone on Sea God Island, including Bo Saixi and the Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiao Bai who had already transformed into a human, knelt on the ground, nervously facing the Sea God Phantom sitting in the main seat.

Poseidon's expression wasn't pleasant, while Han Li watched the situation with amusement, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Do you know your mistake?"

The anger that could be easily heard emanated from the Sea God's mouth with majesty, impacting the already fragile hearts of the people on Sea God Island.

"Yes, Lord Sea God."

Their foreheads were pressed against the floor of the hall, yet they still couldn't stop trembling.

Apart from Bo Saixi, the rest of them were actually encountering the Sea God for the first time. This was their long-held belief, but they never expected it to happen under these circumstances.

"Bo Saixi, as High Priestess, is this the faith you demonstrate?"

To be honest, if it weren't for the need to give Han Li an explanation, Poseidon would have loved to slap this High Priestess he had chosen to death.

His hard-earned investment was easily wiped out by this stupid woman. He also told Rong Nianbing what Han Li had said, and judging from Rong Nianbing's attitude, he might even increase his investment.

The Darkness God and the Light God are husband and wife. The Darkness God's legacy has already been given, and Rong Nianbing and the Element God are known for their good relationship. It's possible that Han Li's master's successor to the Godhood Inheritance will soon be secured.

He could have used this to gain more favor, but now he really wanted to kill Bo Saixi. How could someone as shrewd as him have such an idiot under his command?

Was the trident mark on Ye Lingling's forehead not obvious enough? Or was his previous manifestation in the void invalid? He had clearly given an extremely explicit hint, how dare she? She had been High Priestess for a hundred years, and the path to becoming God Officers was right before her eyes. Was she an idiot? "Bo Saixi knows her mistake and submits to the Lord Sea God."

Bo Saixi's numb voice rang out, the coldness from her forehead touching the ground palpable to the slightest ache in her heart.

"Han Li, you decide her punishment, how about it?"

Poseidon ignored her and instead looked at Han Li sitting to the side.

"No need, Senior can make the decision himself. I acted impulsively before and made a move in front of the Seagod Hall. I hope Senior will not blame me."

Han Li chuckled. He wasn't going to take the bait. He could just sit back and watch the show. Wouldn't his fate be exactly what Bo Saixi wanted?

He's no good person. He prefers to destroy someone's spirit rather than their will. Wouldn't it be much more effective to let the Sea God she's loyal to and believes in destroy her personally than for him to do it?

He never holds grudges; now that he has the ability, he retaliates on the spot—that's just his style.

Poseidon glanced at him, and in a flash he understood what he meant, but he didn't show any emotion. He didn't need the Faith Power anymore, so why should he care so much? Besides, it would ruin his plans.

He looked coldly at the crowd below.

"Since my heir has appeared, you have aided and abetted the wicked. I hereby punish you for a hundred years, for each day you must endure the pain of the Sea Wave Heart-Biting for half a day. You may submit."

The Seven Holy Pillars and Xiao Bai White couldn't help but tremble. This was one of the most cruel tortures on Sea God Island, not to mention it was for a hundred years. But they still bowed respectfully and said, "Yes."

Then, he turned his gaze to Bo Saixi.

"As for you, I will strip you of your position Seagod High Priestess and reclaim your God-Given Martial Soul."

As Poseidon's voice rang out, Bo Saixi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to his right side.

The connection between her and the Sea God Phantom was abruptly severed.

At the same time, her aura began to decline steadily, eventually reaching the level she had at age 18, before even taking the Sacred Pillar test.

And this is just the beginning...
