Leaving Sea God Island, A Journey to Collect Blood

Of course, the gods' choice today is only a preliminary selection based on the attributes and talents revealed by each person.

The succession of deities is a matter of great importance, and the final verdict will naturally depend on the performance of these young people in the subsequent Sea God Trial.

Moreover, not all the deities present were seeking successors; some were currently in seclusion, so there will likely be more arguments later.

Sea God shook his head, feeling as if he had been given a hot potato.

The following morning, a thin mist, like a veil, gently enveloped Sea God Mountain.

Lin Hai affectionately embraced Bo Saixi's slender waist, standing atop a secluded cliff in the distance, overlooking the long stone steps below.

Hu Liena and the others were slowly climbing under the immense and boundless Sea God's Light, each step extremely difficult.

The crowd's clothes were repeatedly soaked with sweat and then dried by their Soul Power, and their bodies trembled slightly under the immense pressure.

Looking at this scene of "all beings suffering," Lin Hai laughed unkindly.

It was a sense of triumph, a feeling of being carefree while all others struggled.

Bo Saixi glanced at him sideways, her tone tinged with helplessness:

"You can actually laugh while your woman is suffering down there?"

Lin Hai suppressed his smile, tightened his grip on the woman's arm, bringing their bodies closer, and then sighed softly:

"I just feel it's a pity."

"What a pity?" Bo Saixi's beautiful eyes showed confusion.

"Hmm..." Lin Hai's gaze fell upon the sea that seemed to connect with the sky, his tone tinged with regret:

"Tidal Body Tempering, such an exciting scene, just thinking about it makes one's blood boil."

"It's a pity I can't see it!"

"Why can't I see it?" Bo Saixi asked instinctively.

She wasn't surprised that Lin Hai knew about the Tidal Body Tempering, after all, he had spent a long time with the Sea God's Divine Sense.

Passing through the Sea God's Light and Tidal Body Tempering are all mandatory tests for those who pass the Black Level or higher assessment on Sea God Island, and she had gone through them all herself back then.

"Because I need to leave for a while." Lin Hai pointed to the crowd below who were struggling to climb, his tone becoming slightly more serious:

"Everyone is working hard towards their goals, so I can't be too idle. I have to find ways to improve myself."

He paused, then continued in a rather helpless tone:

"His Innate Spirit Power Level 20, and he's almost 20 years old, yet he only has the strength of Soul Douluo. It's quite embarrassing to say that out loud."

Bo Saixi had originally wanted to ask Lin Hai where he was going and what his plans were, but after hearing his next words, she swallowed all her questions.

Soul Douluo's not even twenty years old yet, and "merely"?

Is that even human language?

Lin Hai seemed oblivious to the speechless expression on the face of the woman in his arms. He flipped his hand, took out a Saint Son Token, handed it to her, and instructed her:

"Your Eighth Trial is very likely related to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King."

"With your strength after completing the Seventh Trial, you shouldn't encounter any surprises when facing that guy, but there's always a chance of something unexpected happening."

"The Demon Whale Sea Area is, after all, its home turf, and its control over the ocean is no less than yours."

"In case of unexpected events or the need for assistance, this token can be used to send messages to Spirit City and its subordinate branch halls, allowing me to receive the news and arrive more quickly."

Bo Saixi's heart stirred, and he wanted to ask him why he had such a guess.

But when she saw Lin Hai's concerned look, she suppressed her question.

Enjoy the love and care from your own man.

She took the token, her fingertips lightly tracing the patterns on it. Her gaze shifted to the distant stone steps, and she asked softly:

"Before leaving, shouldn't you go and say goodbye to them in person?"

Even now, she can't guarantee that she can fully master the mysteries of the Golden Thirteen Halberds within a year or two.

When Lin Hai mentioned her Eighth Trial, he clearly meant that she would be leaving for a considerable period of time.

"Never mind." Lin Hai shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the figures with a hint of complexity.

"Parting is always sad, but in the Divine Realm, we'll have plenty of time to reunite."

He couldn't put his mind at ease until all the female protagonists from the Destiny series were gathered.

Currently, only three of the Ten Directions Divine Artifacts— the Flame Water Jade, the Floating and Sinking Pearls, and the Mysterious Town Ruler—remain unclaimed. It would be best to expedite the process of finding their owners.

Let's set aside the "love" and "hope" represented by Flame Water Jade for now.

He thought long and hard about the four words "nature," "heaven and earth," "despair," and "oppression," but still felt they didn't quite fit with Tang Yuehua, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er.

Before leaving, Lin Hai still asked Bo Saixi for a detailed nautical chart.

The map not only marks safe routes, but also highlights the activity areas of many known Sea Soul Beasts with cultivation levels of over 100,000 years.

For the next two weeks, Lin Hai transformed into a lone traveler on the vast ocean.

Following the nautical chart, we visited each of these powerful ocean overlords.

The purpose was clear: to collect blood.

He wasn't greedy; if he encountered someone large, he'd take a whole jar; if someone was smaller, he'd take a few bottles and that would be it.

Of course, there are exceptions.

It turns out there really are those peculiar creatures in this world that get smaller the longer they live.
