Talking Bo Saixi Around
"To give an analogy, imagine someone is imprisoned in a large, secluded mansion against their will, with guards around; they have absolutely no chance of escaping. 🐲💞 🐙ඏ"
"Although she tried and escaped, she was always caught and severely poisoned, receiving special punishment each time. Fearing further punishment, she finally gave in and stopped trying to escape."
"However, her body didn't escape, but her mind did. She kept thinking about how she could escape from here one day, but she couldn't escape at all. Yet she still wanted to escape. Her body didn't escape, but her mind did, her soul was fleeing. Over time, her resentment accumulated deeper and deeper, and she thought about how to escape from here, how to escape from this deep mansion all day long."
Even after her death, she continued to flee, constantly trying to escape this deep mansion, endlessly repeating the wishes she hadn't fulfilled in life, desperately trying to escape this place, but she could no longer escape, because she had become a bound spirit.
Earthbound spirit!
After hearing this story, Bo Saixi suddenly fell into deep thought, and his face turned pale.
Am I also a "bound spirit"?
Qian Ye: "Bo Saixi, I can see that your wish is similar to that of the protagonist in that story. You've long wanted to leave this place, find the one you love, and break the deadly trap that the Sea God has set for you."
"However, you cannot extricate yourself from this predicament. Only the Sea God can help you break free and regain your freedom."
"However, this matter has already become a fact, and you cannot change it. Because the Sea God helped you improve your cultivation and change your life back then, he signed a contract with you. This was your choice, and it is also your future destiny. You will spend your life in this Sea God Hall, and your fate is in the hands of others. You can only sit here and wait to die, waiting for the arrival of a new Sea God to be your Sacrifice. That day could come at any time."
"At first, you did it willingly, but one day you discovered the truth: you have to dedicate your whole life to this trap, including your youth and your Life. You finally regretted it, and you want to leave the Sea God Hall, leave Sea God Island, leave everything here, in order to escape this deadly predicament that Sea God has set for you."
"So, you became an ice queen, sitting in this Sea God Hall every day, year after year, day after day, unable to escape this dead end. You were unwilling, you regretted, but you could do nothing. So, on the surface, you accepted it, your body compromised, but your heart was not freed. Your soul was crying out, how can you break free from this dead end and escape to heaven?"
"So, I think you and earthbound spirits have a lot in common. Of course, since you did it voluntarily, your resentment wasn't that deep; you only had unfulfilled wishes after death, so you're unlikely to become a true earthbound spirit."
"But it's not much better either."
Hearing this, Bo Saixi's eyes reddened. She thought to herself, "Yes! I regret it. I want to escape this dead end, but I'm already trapped in it, and it's my own choice. I can't break the contract I made with the Lord Sea God, I can't just walk away." 🐍👹 🍭🐍
Even if it means death, I must keep my promise, so I can no longer escape this dead end!
"But Bo Saixi, now that you've met me, this deadlock can be completely resolved," Qian Ye concluded.
There wasn't a single word of boasting.
"You can solve it? How could you? I would never betray Lord Sea God!" Bo Saixi retorted defiantly.
It is evident that she is loyal to the Sea God and very responsible in her position as high priestess.
Qian Ye valued this aspect of her character; she was salvageable, otherwise he wouldn't have taken her. "I'll help you become a god, Sea God. Instead of having a new Sea God succeed you, why not become the Sea God yourself?"
"That way, you can resolve your life-or-death situation and become the Sea God at the same time. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
Help me become the Sea God?
Bo Saixi examined herself, wondering if she still had a chance to become the Sea God: "No... I am not qualified, nor am I the one chosen by the Lord Sea God, so I am not qualified to become Sea God Deity, and it is impossible for me to have the opportunity to become the Sea God!"
Qian Ye laughed and said, "Yes, you were indeed not chosen by Poseidon. Otherwise, you would have been able to succeed the Sea God after passing the top eight trials and then the ninth. But do you know why he didn't choose you?"
"Why?" Bo Saixi wanted to know too.
But she remained puzzled.
I've thought about this too.
But no one could give her a concrete answer.
But Qian Ye is a god; he should know the Sea God, and might even recognize him. Perhaps he has the answer.
"Because he has no plans to leave the Douluo God Realm for the time being, and your selection as High Priest is merely to have you manage the ocean in his place. It doesn't mean he favors you or intends for you to become the Sea God."
"To put it bluntly, in Poseidon's eyes, you, Bo Saixi, are nothing more than a pawn he can manipulate, someone he can discard and kill at any time."
"Therefore, your loyalty to Poseidon is nothing but blind loyalty, utterly meaningless. To put it bluntly, he'll keep you around when you're useful, but once you've lost your value, you're nothing."
"You should have already experienced this from him without me having to say more. Even if you want to become a god, Poseidon will block your path to godhood in the Divine Realm, leaving you with only death in the end."
"So no matter how loyal you are to Poseidon, he will always treat you as a pawn to be discarded, and that will never change."
"Since you can't change your environment, why not change yourself? Become a god yourself, instead of begging for Poseidon's pity. You walk your narrow bridge, he walks his sunny path. He didn't choose you, so choose yourself."
"If the Sea God is not satisfied and Lower Realm to stop you, I will stand behind you and support you. If Poseidon dares to lay a finger on you, I will make him taste what it means to slay a god."
Bo Saixi: "..."
The Lord Sea God is his benefactor; should he really do this?
But if I don't do this, I won't be able to escape this dead end!
The Lord Sea God hasn't chosen me as his successor. If someone is chosen, then I'll have to Sacrifice.
Moreover, how reliable are his words?
But must I really wait to die in this Sea God Hall?
Wasn't he supposed to leave Sea God Island to find Tang Chen?
I see!
Qian Ye knew that Bo Saixi's opinion had already wavered after hearing it.
As for finding Tang Chen, since she can't be found and is already dead, let her give up on that idea. Tang Chen will never appear again.
"Bo Saixi, it seems you're still thinking about that person?"
"What... do you mean?" Bo Saixi retorted. After all, only three people knew about her affair with Tang Chen: herself, Tang Chen, and Qian Daoliu.
He didn't think so, and he knew it too.
