[Power Ranking, Fourth Place: Sea God Hall] [Ruler Representative: Bo Saixi] [Strongest Combatant Representative: Bo Saixi] [Evaluation: Located on an isolated island deep in the ocean, it was the Inheritance Ground of the First-Class God, the Sea God. It was the divine inheritance site with the most followers in the Douluo Plane to date. From twenty thousand years ago until now, as many as seventy percent of the sea soul beasts in the ocean believed in the Sea God and regarded Sea God Island as their sacred place of faith.] [Whether sea soul masters or mainland soul masters, all who entered Sea God Island could receive the corresponding Sea God Trial based on their overall talents. Those who completed it could obtain God-Bestowed Rewards and might even inherit the Sea God's divine position! However, this place did not accept ordinary people, low-level soul masters, or soul masters with useless martial souls. Once one accepted the trial, regardless of whether they passed, they had to remain behind. Unless special circumstances arose, they could never leave.] [It possessed formidable defensive forces: thousands of high-level soul master believers who had undergone Sea God Trials, the Seven Sacred Pillars' guardian Title Douluos, and sea soul beast guardian clans led by Ten Thousand Year Demon Soul Great White Sharks. It also held the peerless divine artifact left behind by the Sea God, the "Sea God Trident." It was the symbol of the ocean's dominator, weighing one hundred and eight thousand jin. Its wielder could use it to command the power of the ocean, while Sea God's Light could purify all evil!] [High-Level Reward: Quasi-Divine Artifact · Frost Impact. The age of all soul rings belonging to both representatives increases by twenty thousand years, and all soul bones increase by ten thousand years. One sixty-thousand-year soul bone perfectly suited to the recipient's martial soul will be granted. If the representatives overlap, this will be replaced with three sixty-thousand-year soul bones perfectly suited to the recipient's martial soul!]
Boom—!
The news exploded in everyone's minds once more.
No one had expected such a terrifying force to exist overseas.
The entire world erupted into another frenzy as people launched into heated discussions:
"The god mentioned when the Heaven Dou Empire made the rankings—the Sea God—actually came from Sea God Island!"
"With so many Title Douluos on Sea God Island, along with countless sea soul beast believers, surpassing Slaughter City is only natural!"
"More importantly, after entering the island, one can undergo God Trials... and even become a god!!"
Despite the harsh requirements, the temptation of God-Bestowed Rewards and divine inheritances drew countless soul masters toward it.
Yet what shocked the world even more was its ranking. With such astonishing foundations, Sea God Island could not even make the top three?!
The two divine inheritance grounds, Slaughter City and Sea God Island, were only fifth and fourth. The top three powers were already beyond imagination!
Spirit City, Pope Palace.
"Sea God Island is only fourth?!"
Bibi Dong abruptly rose to her feet, finding it equally unbelievable as she murmured in shock:
"Sea God Island's foundations are no less formidable than those of my Spirit Hall. If Spirit Hall is first, then it must be second!"
"But now... could there really be forces hidden in this world that are not inferior to, or even surpass, Spirit Hall?!"
"No! Impossible!"
Thinking of Spirit Hall's foundations, Bibi Dong suddenly shook her head and gave a confident, sinister smile.
"Putting aside Spirit Hall's miscellaneous foundations..."
"This place was originally the Angel God's inheritance ground, and now it also has me, the inheritor of the Rakshasa God!"
"Two divine inheritances—who can contend with us? We will surely claim first place!!!"
Worship Hall.
The offerings were shocked into silence, their expressions grave as they looked toward the First Worshipper.
Qian Daoliu was equally shaken. He let out a heavy sigh.
"There is always someone stronger, and there are always heights beyond the heavens. Even I... sigh!"
Even Golden Crocodile, who had always been arrogant, lowered his proud head and quietly asked:
"Then does Spirit Hall still have a chance at first place?"
All the offerings waited for Qian Daoliu, Spirit Hall's Dinghai Shenzhen, to give them an answer.
"Perhaps not..."
Qian Daoliu had just begun to speak.
But then he suddenly recalled the strange fluctuations he had always sensed from Bibi Dong.
He had long suspected that Bibi Dong might have obtained the inheritance of some god as well.
If that was true, then they might not be unable to contend for first place!
"First place? It may not be impossible!"
In the end, Qian Daoliu gave a firm answer.
When Golden Crocodile heard his elder brother speak, his confidence instantly returned.
"Good. Since Big Brother has spoken, then Spirit Hall shall contend for first place!"
The other offerings regained their confidence as well and chimed in:
"With Spirit Hall's twenty-thousand-year foundation, it would be intolerable if we failed to take first!"
Sunset Forest.
The four factions that had just withdrawn from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well were all stunned.
Tang Xiao, who had personally witnessed the terror of Sea God Island, was the first to cry out:
"It would be one thing if Slaughter City couldn't make the top three, but even Sea God Island can't make it?!"
The other three great factions had never been to Sea God Island, but they knew it had inflicted devastating losses on Spirit Hall back then.
Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a grave expression, then finally sighed.
"Alas, the waters of this world run deeper than we imagined!"
Even Yu Yuanzhen, who had never bowed to anyone, fell silent at this moment, lost in thought.
Xue Qinghe was equally incredulous, his mind sinking into deep contemplation.
Sea God Island is only fourth. Then Spirit Hall... no! Aside from divine inheritance, Spirit Hall has countless powerful soul masters. What force could possibly contend with it? It will certainly rank first!
Sunset Forest.
Not long after the four factions withdrew from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well,
Dugu Bo slowly emerged from the poison formation to the east.
"Heh heh heh, this old man has truly watched quite a show."
After taking the Immortal Herbs earlier, he had not left. Instead, he had remained hidden within the poison formation, which concealed his aura, and had seen everything.
"Just who was that powerful expert who wielded Thunder?"
"Not only could he easily take away the Ice and Fire Spring Water, he even easily dealt with Gui Mei and Ju Hua Guan..."
After his shock faded, Dugu Bo fell into deep worry.
Although the Immortal Herbs were still in his possession, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well's spring water was gone. How would he suppress the poison in the future?
Yan Yan's poison would also need suppressing if it worsened in the future. Now that it was gone, what were grandfather and granddaughter supposed to do?
"Alas, which faction does that Thunder expert belong to? I wonder if I can trade some Immortal Herbs for some Ice and Fire Spring Water?!"
"Forget it. I should return first. I've been gone too long, and Yan Yan will worry."
Suotuo City, Shrek Academy.
"Another divine inheritance ground that can't make the top three!"
Both teachers and students were frozen in shock.
"And this divine inheritance ground is more humane. Anyone who enters the island can obtain a God Trial, though they can never leave afterward."
"Oh, right. It also refuses soul masters with useless martial souls..."
As they spoke, everyone's gazes could not help falling onto Yu Xiaogang.
A soul master with a useless martial soul like Yu Xiaogang definitely would not be able to go.
"So what if my martial soul has flaws?!"
Yu Xiaogang immediately became anxious and furious, pointing at them as he cursed:
"Do you know that everyone is equal?! What kind of good place could somewhere that does not even respect ordinary people be? Once you go there and accept the trial, don't even think about leaving for the rest of your lives! Unless you're all confident that you can become gods! Do you think you can?!"
Ma Hongjun and the others curled their lips in dissatisfaction, but his words did make some sense.
Not far away, Xiao Wu could not help muttering under her breath:
"Heh heh, when you, Yu Xiaogang, relied on your 'Grandmaster' status to criticize everyone else, why didn't you talk about 'everyone being equal'? Now that the boomerang has hit you, you're so quick to lose it? What a laughable clown!"
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head beside her and murmured with a sigh:
"Sea God Island seems quite good, but I do not want to be trapped on an isolated island for my entire life. There are still three powers above it. Will I be able to find one that suits me?"
Ocean, Demonic Whale Sea Area.
"This is bad! Sea God Island made the rankings so quickly!"
Looking at the contents on the Sky Screen, the Demon Empress's heart tightened.
"The rewards are so generous. If my husband does not withdraw in time, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
