The Sea God's Chosen Heir Was Stolen Away! The Sea God Chose to Invest

"So... my Blue Silver Tree of Life and Destruction and Death was tampered with by you from the very beginning?" Lin Qingmo murmured.

That's not called tampering.

The God of Destruction scoffed, "It's an investment."

"..."

Well, the stage has been set.

The Goddess of Life chuckled softly and said gently, "Child, would you be willing to inherit my and Little Purple's Divine Position?"

Upon hearing this, the Sea God was furious.

"Impossible!"

The Sea God's Phantom suddenly stepped forward, Trident heavily onto the ground.

"Only one person can inherit a Divine Position; this is an ironclad rule of the Divine Realm!"

"There has never been a precedent in history for inheriting Dual God Positions!"

"It wasn't there before."

The voice of the God of Destruction was so cold it could freeze magma.

"But we have it now."

"This..."

Sea God opened his mouth, then closed it again.

As expected of the Destruction God King, his domineering presence is undeniable.

The God of Destruction ignored the Sea God, who had already withdrawn into seclusion.

The purple light turned towards Lin Qingmo, its tone carrying a rare hint of solemnity.

"Kid, don't be so happy."

"Inheriting the power of both me and Xiao Lu is no easy task."

"Life and Destruction are inherently opposing extremes; the process of merging them might just cost you your life."

Do you dare?

The golden space fell silent.

Lin Qingmo lowered his eyes, but the corners of his mouth were slowly curving upwards.

The Dual God Positions of the Life God King and the Destruction God King.

That's God King level!!!

They are beings at the very top of the food chain in the Divine Realm!

Tang San was able to obtain both the Sea God and the Asura God Dual God Positions simultaneously, so why can't I?

Don't be a fool to accept God King's throne that's offered to you for free!

Lin Qingmo raised his head, his gaze intense.

"Dare!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it resonated throughout the entire golden space.

The God of Destruction was silent for half a second, then burst into hearty laughter.

"Hahaha! Good lad! You've got guts!"

"No wonder Xiao Lu and I chose him!"

The Goddess of Life chuckled gently, "Little Purple, I told you he wouldn't let us down."

Lin Qingmo's lips twitched slightly.

So even the God King and his wife do this kind of public displays of affection!

The God of Destruction's smile vanished, his voice returning to its icy tone. "We will begin the Dual God Trials for you."

"Remember, there is no third option: to be or Destruction."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Two torrents of purple and green energy suddenly surged out and precisely entered Lin Qingmo's brow!

In that instant, Lin Qingmo felt as if his soul was being torn apart and then reassembled.

Two diametrically opposed forces clashed wildly within him, yet strangely reached a balance at a certain critical point.

Deep within his mind, two brand-new God Trial inscriptions slowly emerged.

"Nine Trials of Destruction!"

"Nine Trials of Life!"

Lin Qingmo took a deep breath.

The smile on his lips, however, he couldn't suppress.

The Sea God, watching all this, dimmed the entire phantom.

He sighed Youyou.

"Does my Sea God Nine Trials still count?"

No one answered him.

The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life departed swiftly and decisively.

The purple and green light clusters dissipated.

The torn golden space slowly repaired itself, restoring its solemn and sacred appearance.

But the atmosphere could never be the same again.

The Poseidon Sea God there silently.

That once majestic face now bore the four words: utter despair.

The carefully arranged Inheritance Space was forcibly demolished, and the carefully selected successor was snatched away right in front of him. The whole process took less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Being bullied is fucking awful!

Sea God took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

"You... should leave."

He waved weakly at Lin Qingmo, his voice weary.

"You won't need my Sea God Nine Trials anymore, go back."

"I'll just keep waiting for the next person who's meant to be."

"Maybe we'll meet another one in a few hundred years."

"Hmm... maybe."

"..."

Lin Qingmo felt somewhat guilty seeing the First-Class Deity looking so dejected.

After all, they were just about to give you the Divine Position, but before they could finish speaking, two God King rushed in and interrupted them. Anyone would be upset in that situation.

But he really doesn't need the Sea God Nine Trials anymore.

He held the Dual God Positions of the Destruction God King and the Life God King in his hands.

He no longer found the Sea God Nine Trials, First-Level God, acceptable.

"Lord Sea God, please wait."

Lin Qingmo suddenly called out to the Sea God, who was preparing to pack up his stall.

The Sea God's Phantom paused slightly and turned to look at him.

"Is there anything else?"

Lin Qingmo organized his thoughts and tried to speak tactfully.

"Lord Sea God, to be honest, I have now passed the Dual God Positions trials of Destruction and life, and the Sea God Nine Trials are indeed..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking."

Sea God's face darkened.

"I know it's not needed, you don't need to remind me."

That's heartbreaking!

That's so damn heartbreaking!

Not only were you robbed, but the victim even came to confirm it with you in person.

Yes, I was indeed dumped!

But Lin Qingmo changed the subject.

"However, my companions also underwent testing on the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, and several of them possessed exceptional talent."

"If Lord Sea God doesn't mind..."

He smiled slightly.

"Could the Sea God Nine Trials be passed on to one of them?"

Sea God was stunned.

Those eyes, which seemed to hold the vastness of the ocean, widened in disbelief as they looked at Lin Qingmo.

"What do you mean?"

It means exactly what it says.

Lin Qingmo shrugged.

"The Lord's Divine Position appointment assessment has already been triggered; we can't let it go to waste, can we?"

"Among my companions are geniuses who passed the Red Top-Tier Trial and have the potential to undertake the Sea God Nine Trials."

Sea God's lips twitched.

"Kid, what do you take my Sea God Divine Position for? A ball?"

"If you don't want it, you pass it on to someone else, and if they don't want it, you pass it on to the next person?"

"The dignity of the mighty Sea God— "

He suddenly stopped talking halfway through his sentence.

Driven by instinct, he had already extended his divine sense to the outside world, sensing the aptitudes of Lin Qingmo's companions.

Then, the Sea God's eyes lit up.

You know what!

This kid's companions are all incredibly talented.

The Red Top-Tier Seven Trials and Red Top-Tier Eight Trials are extremely rare occurrences in the history of Sea God Island!

Sea God's mind began to work at lightning speed.

Destruction and life are at stake; even defying the Divine Realm's prohibitions, they will ensure Lin Qingmo inherits the Dual God King Divine Position.

What does this tell us?

This proves that this kid is destined to defy the heavens in the future!

And the companions of those who defy fate are no ordinary people either.

The opportunity to invest in Lin Qingmo himself is gone, but investing in the people around him...

Isn't this just another way of currying favor with powerful figures?

Sea God's mind began to stir.

Rather than letting the Sea God Nine Trials, which have been triggered this time, go with the flow and do him a favor.

Later, Lin Qingmo became one of the two gods.

At least I indirectly made contact, right?

Hmm, this deal doesn't seem like a bad one!
