He does not need to experience the risks and weaknesses of transformation.
There is no need to be on tenterhooks in human society.
There is no need to pursue the illusory Self-Created Godhood road.
As long as he is willing, he can return to Sea God Island now, and under the guidance of Sea God, accept the inheritance assessment step by step, and then...
It is logical to inherit the already existing and boundless power Sea God Godhood!
Obtain power that is powerful enough to make Divine Realm all the gods look at you, and eternal life that will live as long as heaven and earth!
How lucky this is!
What an enviable opportunity!
But he... doesn't seem... to want it very much!
Ah Yin looked at Ye Qing's calm profile, with mixed feelings in his heart.
For the first time, she felt so clearly that the so-called fate was really so unfair sometimes.
It's so irritating that people are so different from each other!
Ye Qing didn't seem to notice, or didn't care, the shocked, puzzled, and even a little bit hateful looks in Sea Dragon Douluo and Ah Yin's eyes.
He picked up a piece of delicate pastry, took a small bite, and chewed it slowly, as if tasting it and thinking about it.
Then, he raised his head and looked at Sea Dragon Douluo, whose face was anxious and almost scratching his head, and asked calmly and seriously with those clear eyes:
"Uncle Sea Dragon, let me ask you a question."
"I... why do I have to reply to Sea God Island?"
Ye Qing's tone is very calm, as if he is really discussing an academic issue:
"Sea God Island... Is there any... reason why I must go back immediately?"
"I go back, what next? Accept Sea God Trial? Start the inheritance? Then... stay at Sea God Island for the rest of your life until you become a god?"
"Is this... the meaning of why I have to go back?"
Sea Dragon Douluo was stunned by the question Ye Qing, and subconsciously blurted out:
"This... do you still need to ask? Of course you are the heir of Lord Sea God! You are the Holy Son of our Sea God Island! If you don't return to Sea God Island, where should you go?"
He thinks the question Ye Qing is simply inexplicable!
Where is the identity and where is the responsibility? If you don't go back and inherit the throne of God, do you still want to spend your whole life wandering outside?
Ye Qing heard this, but shook his head slightly, his tone remained calm:
"Sea God heir...Sea God Island Holy Son... These are identities, labels, and definitions given to me by others."
"But, this doesn't mean that I have to be bound by these identities and labels, and I have to keep walking on the path set by others."
He paused, looking out the window at the bustling Heaven Dou City street scene, his voice carrying a hint of alienation and a trace of indescribable yearning:
"The mainland is so big and wonderful, with so many different scenery, different people, and different things happening."
"Spirit Hall, Clear Sky Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Heaven Dou Empire, Star Luo Empire... There are also countless small sects, small forces, casual cultivators Soul Master, ordinary people..."
"Mountains, rivers, forests, deserts, grasslands, snowfields... and those unknown ruins and dangerous places that hide countless secrets..."
Ye Qing withdrew his gaze and looked at Sea Dragon Douluo again, with a light called exploration and freedom shining in his eyes:
"Where can't you go? Where can't you see? Where can't you experience?"
"I'm only a few years old, and my life... or, in other words, divine birth, has just begun. Why should I limit myself to an island, to a path that has already been planned, seems correct, but in fact... may not be what I really want?"
He added one last sentence, as if stating an objective fact:
"What's more, Uncle Sea Dragon, you also know that my Martial Soul is Seraphim. He is the darling of light and flame, and the incarnation of judgment. It can be said to be almost the opposite of the depth, tolerance, and vastness of the sea..."
"Let me, a inheritor of fire and light, inherit the throne of water and sea..."
Ye Qing spread his hands with a helpless smile on his face:
"Don't you think... this itself is a bit inappropriate? Or, at least, it's not the most suitable choice for me?"
"This..." Sea Dragon Douluo was speechless by Ye Qing's words.
He wanted to refute, saying that Lord Sea God likes you, so of course he has his reasons.
I want to say that conflicting attributes does not mean that inheritance cannot be achieved. The power of gods transcends attributes.
I want to say that Sea God Island is your home and your foundation...
But looking at Ye Qing's clear, calm eyes that seemed to contain unquestionable persistence, all the words were stuck in his throat.
He suddenly realized that Ye Qing really didn't want to go back.
It's not a tantrum.
Not playful.
It is a kind of alienation from the established destiny and the desire for free choice that comes from the heart.
This made him feel weak and had a headache.
If Master Bo Saixi knows about this, if Lord Sea God knows about this...
Still not able to shake things up?
No!
We must find a way to deceive Ye Qing back!
At least, let's go back first!
I replied to Sea God Island. Under the influence and education of adults Bo Saixi and Lord Sea God, maybe I will change my mind!
Sea Dragon Douluo's mind was spinning rapidly, and he changed the angle of persuasion, with a hint of coaxing and reasoning in his tone:
"Xiaoqing, even if... even if what you say makes sense. You want to see more and experience more in the mainland, this... Uncle Sea Dragon can understand it. It's a good thing for young people to have ideas."
He rubbed his hands and tried to look reasonable:
"But, look, we have to... send this Heart of the Sea God back, right? After all, this is Lord Sea God's important item. It's not safe if it's in our hands, right?"
"Furthermore, these things we experienced in the mainland - Clear Sky Sect, Spirit Hall, Heaven Dou Imperial Family... these must be reported back to Grand Pontiff, Lord Sea God, exactly? Let them understand the situation and feel at ease, right?"
Sea Dragon Douluo spoke earnestly and tried to persuade Ye Qing with responsibility and necessity:
"Do you think this is okay? Let's go back first, hand over the things, and report the matter. Then... if you still want to come out to play, we will have a good talk with Grand Pontiff. Maybe when she is happy, she will agree to you coming out to practice again?"
"Anyway, with your status, as long as you want to, Sea God Island, who can really stop you? When the time comes, you can go where you want to go and for how long. Wouldn't it be more free for you to change your name?"
Sea Dragon Douluo's idea at the moment is very simple: fool him back first!
As long as Sea God Island returns, with Master Bo Saixi's methods and care for the young master, no matter what, he must be left on the island to start the inheritance!
When the time comes, the young master wants to come out again?
There are no doors!
He Sea Dragon Douluo also refuses to accept the drudgery of studying with the prince!
He would rather go back and squat under the Sea God Mountain to look at the door than to be worried outside and wipe his butt everywhere!
