Lin Hai's Attentiveness, the True Reason a Guide Must Sacrifice
Despite not being able to fully gain the other party's trust, Sea God still quite enjoys his current leisurely life.
He has wanted to leave the Divine Realm for more than just a day or two.
Whether or not one can pursue higher levels of power is secondary; the main reason is that life in the Divine Realm is simply too boring.
In contrast, now he spends his days tending to flowers and plants in his Dantian Space, and occasionally he can bask in the glow of the Bodhi Ancient Tree and listen to Lin Hai tell those wonderful novel stories.
Such days... may sound boring, but they are ultimately different from those of the past ten thousand years.
Moreover, He knew very well that there were many gods like Him in the Divine Realm.
The Divine Realm, which countless powerful Soul Master pursue throughout their lives, is like a magnificent cage to many gods!
The two returned to Shrek's cabin.
Lin Hai looked at the few scattered small trees around him and was somewhat troubled. What should he do?
It's true that the Floating and Sinking Pearls can manipulate natural elements, but they can't create something from nothing!
He then turned to Bo Saixi beside him and asked softly:
Are you afraid of the cold?
Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi glanced at Lin Hai with a subtle expression, wondering why he could ask such a strange question.
"If you ask Qian Daoliu this question, he'll definitely laugh at you."
Lin Hai nodded and smiled, "Men and women are different after all!"
As he spoke, a thought flashed through his mind, and an Ice House rose from the ground, shimmering with a translucent luster in the sunlight.
Lin Hai looked up at the blazing sun high in the sky and muttered to himself, "It should last for a few more days without any problem."
Before he finished speaking, he took advantage of Bo Saixi's momentary lapse in attention, naturally took her hand, and strode towards the Ice House.
"You..." Bo Saixi was taken aback.
In all these years, no one had ever treated her so rudely. Just as she was about to use her Soul Power to break free, the two had already entered the house.
Lin Hai immediately released his grip and said calmly:
"It's a bit simple, but we'll make do for a few days before we leave."
"Did you bring any daily necessities? See if you need anything else, and if not, I'll go buy it."
As he spoke, his hands flashed with light, and brand-new beds, tables, chairs, bedding, carpets, and other items appeared one by one, and he began to set them up.
Since he was able to control his Dantian Space at will, Lin Hai has never had to worry about storage.
Whenever he goes shopping, if he sees something he needs that is of good quality, he will buy some of it. And now it has come in handy.
Bo Saixi stood quietly to the side, his gaze following Lin Hai's busy figure, speechless for Jiujiu.
After her mother passed away, no one except the servants did these chores for her.
What exactly is his intention?
For so many years, the lake of my heart, which had been dormant since Tang Chen's departure, has now been stirred by a slight ripple.
It wasn't a feeling of being moved by love, but rather the helplessness of someone who has been lonely for years when suddenly shown care and concern.
When she saw Lin Hai bending down to make the bed, she finally couldn't help but speak up and dissuade him, "You... don't bother, I can do it myself."
To everyone's surprise, the other person didn't even turn around, continuing to work with his hands, "It'll be ready soon!"
A moment later.
"Alright, you've traveled for so long, even Peerless Douluo must be tired. You should rest first." Lin Hai finished packing and turned to leave.
"Wait! I have something to ask you..." Bo Saixi called out to him.
"What is it?" Lin Hai turned around, his silver hair slightly disheveled from the recent busyness, but his eyes remained clear.
Seeing him like this, Bo Saixi's words of inquiry about Tang Chen stuck in her throat for some reason, and her mind became increasingly chaotic.
"It's alright, you can go now." In the end, she gently shook her head.
Lin Hai nodded with a smile, "I'll bring you lunch!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Bo Saixi stood alone, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Making the bed...
Delivering meals...
Isn't this a bit too intimate?!
Back in his room, Lin Hai stretched, and with a thought, his messy silver hair instantly became neat again.
From within his dantian, the Bodhi Ancient Tree spoke in a mocking tone: 'So, you've become a simp, haven't you?'
Sea God joined in the fun, teasingly saying, "Where? It's all a trick!"
"Brother, let me tell you, even though Bo Saixi is older than you, her feelings are far purer than yours."
'If you really win her heart, you'd better treat her well from now on, otherwise I, as her family, will be the first to object!'
Upon hearing this, Lin Hai scoffed, "You expect someone else to sacrifice your own family? Even if I won her over, how many years could I possibly treat her well?"
The Sea God's Divine Sense reeling: 'How do you know everything? That kid Qian Daoliu wouldn't tell you these secrets, would he?'
"Can't keep up the act anymore?" Lin Hai sneered.
"Look at you, in such a hurry again!" the Sea God chuckled. "Though I don't know where you got this information, you clearly misunderstand the matter of sacrifices helping people become gods!"
After saying that, he remained calm and composed, adopting an attitude of "I won't continue unless you beg me."
"Go ahead and say it, brother!" Lin Hai reluctantly conceded.
God, my foot! The older you get, the more childish you become, pshaw!
"Alright, for the sake of our friendship, I'll reveal a little more inside information." The Sea God cleared his throat and said seriously:
'Guides like Bo Saixi must sacrifice themselves at the final moments of Divine Trial to awaken the Divine Power of the successor.'
'Since you've enjoyed the benefits of being a guide, you should naturally pay a corresponding price; that's perfectly reasonable.'
Besides, I did give her a choice back then!
Before meeting Tang Chen, she had always been indifferent to life and death.
'But such acts of sacrifice are only suitable for those inheritors who lack natural talent. Judging by the talent of the geniuses around you, there's no need for a guide to sacrifice themselves.'
So go ahead and pursue her; she'll be with you for a long time.
He paused, then added: 'Furthermore, regarding Bo Saixi, I actually had plans in place long ago.'
'After her sacrifice, I will guide her soul to the Divine Realm, where it will attain eternal life. Pretty generous of me, right?'
After listening to the Sea God's explanation, Lin Hai frowned slightly and remained silent.
Even Qian Renxue in her previous life was considered to lack talent?
But on second thought, it doesn't seem like a problem.
Talent is innate, but aptitude is closely related to one's upbringing.
It is inherently difficult to compare one's talents with those who are born gods or Self-Created Godhood.
Moreover, she spent a lot of time going undercover...
Seeing Lin Hai remain silent, Sea God urged, "Don't you have the ability to help people improve their talents? Why don't you help Bo Saixi?"
'If her talent reaches the level of those three girls around you, she could easily inherit the position of Sea God and become a god independently!'
'Although the God-King is qualified to bring people into the Divine Realm without any limit on the number, he will inevitably become a target of criticism.'
'If Bo Saixi inherits the position of Sea God, she can bring two people into the Divine Realm, which means you'll have three extra spots.'
'As for the others, I can contact the main body later and ask other deities to bestow their inheritances.'
Bo Saixi was both His spokesperson and a descendant of His old followers. If possible, the Sea God would naturally hope that she could inherit His divine position and create a beautiful story.
"You make it sound so easy!" Lin Hai said helplessly. "A level 99 Peerless Douluo, with God-Bestowed Martial Soul, is it so easy to improve?"
The Sea God smiled mysteriously, "Actually, it's not difficult, as long as you're willing to part with those two herbs in your space."
