God Realm, Sea God Palace.
At the entrance of the luxurious palace.
A child with skin like cream, an adorable face, and a full head of blue hair was pacing back and forth in circles, cursing under his breath:
"Damn it, that old geezer Asura is truly wicked. I've pestered him for so long, yet he won't give me a chance to inherit a god position. Tang San just transmigrated over, and he's already set his sights on him?"
"Damn it, is Tang San your illegitimate son, Asura?"
"How could you possibly know his talent just because he just transmigrated?"
Take a close look; the child cursing away is named Poseinan, and he is a transmigrator.
He has been in the Douluo Continent for six years.
The good news is that his background in this life is incredibly luxurious—he is a top-tier second-generation god.
His father is the first-generation Sea God, Poseidon.
That's right, the very same tough guy who conquered the seas for a thousand years and ultimately ascended to godhood through faith!
And his mother is none other than the Goddess of Love!
Come to think of it, the story of the two of them is quite cliché and melodramatic.
The Goddess of Love, heartbroken after being betrayed by her lover, was saved by Poseidon just as he had become the Sea God.
The trope of a hero saving a beauty never goes out of style, regardless of the era.
With the Sea God's attentive care, one thing led to another, and the Goddess of Love gradually fell for him.
The two tied the knot and gave birth to Poseinan six years ago.
It could be said that as long as Poseinan doesn't court death, he will live a more comfortable life than anyone else.
After all, his father, the Sea God, is the strongest Grade 1 god in the God Realm, the only one to possess a Super Divine Artifact while holding a Grade 1 god position.
His strength is formidable; he can even hold his own against a God King for a while.
But Poseinan is deeply troubled.
Because he knows the plot, he knows his old man will eventually choose Tang San as his successor.
When that time comes, will he still be the son of the Sea God?
Will this identity still be able to protect him?
Will Tang San view him as a thorn in his side?
For the sake of his future happiness, Poseinan could only pester the Asura God, hoping he would pass his god position to him.
However, after pestering him for a few years, the Asura God's attitude remained the same.
Your father is already the Sea God.
How can one family produce two high-ranking deities?
Besides, he claimed he didn't know what his talent was like, and thus, he refused.
At first, Poseinan actually believed the Asura God's words.
But just today.
Through a message from his big sister, the Angel God, Poseinan learned that the current candidate for the Angel God's High Priest had been devoured.
Immediately after, the Asura God announced in front of all the gods that he was choosing a successor and preparing to leave.
What is this?
Tang San just transmigrated, Qian Xunji just died, and the Asura God says he's leaving.
Isn't it obvious that he has his eyes on Tang San?
Damn it!
Poseinan was absolutely furious.
In terms of talent and potential, isn't he, a second-generation god, clearly superior to the mortal Tang San, who hasn't even awakened his martial soul yet?
Just then, a melodious and teasing voice came from behind: "Oh, who has upset our precious Nannan?"
Poseinan turned around to see a stunning, beautiful woman with pink hair walking over from a distance.
This was his mother, the Goddess of Love.
He put on a helpless expression: "Mother."
The Goddess of Love scooped Poseinan up into her arms and said with a beaming smile: "Nannan, the God Realm celebration is this afternoon. Smile, be a little happier."
The Goddess of Love felt quite helpless regarding her son.
The children of other deities were all very close to their mothers, adept at acting cute and spoiled.
Only her son had been exceptionally sensible since he was small, never crying or making a fuss, and didn't act like a child at all.
They say that being sensible is a sign of parental neglect.
The Goddess of Love also believed that this was caused by her not spending enough time with him while he was growing up.
But she had no choice; after all, her husband, the Sea God, was a peak existence among first-tier gods.
He had even been evaluated by the God of Evil as having the potential to become the sixth God King of the God Realm in the future.
Occupying such a high position, his divine duties were overwhelming.
And what of the Goddess of Love?
Although she was only a second-tier god, the shifting threads of mortal romance were all within her grasp.
Coupled with the fact that her husband was the Sea God, she had to lead by example, keeping her busier than ever.
However, even though the Goddess of Love could not spare the time to accompany Poseinan through his childhood, she basically satisfied every request he made.
Poseinan was stunned. "A celebration?"
The Goddess of Love stroked his face dotingly. "That's right. This is a grand feast held once every millennium in the God Realm. Don't you like lively events, Nannan? Your Angel God sister will be coming too, you know~"
Come to think of it, she found it strange. Other people's children spent their childhoods either brandishing weapons or throwing tantrums.
But Poseinan?
He particularly loved visiting the homes of various goddesses, and he had a silver tongue to boot.
He often coaxed the Angel God, the Goddess of Life, the God of Death, and many other goddesses until they were beaming with joy.
Even the Goddess of Life had considered adopting him as her godson, but it was ultimately thwarted because the Sea God and the God of Destruction held conflicting philosophies.
This infuriated the God of Destruction, who put a stop to the adoption ceremony and sternly warned Poseinan never to come to his house again.
Three years of planning, ruined in an instant.
Poseinan had been so hot-headed at the time that he blurted out a harsh threat on the spot:
"Old geezer! If you've got the guts, go have a daughter and see if I don't spirit her away!"
This enraged the God of Destruction so much that he wanted to strike him down with Destruction Divine Thunder right then and there.
Destruction: "Don't any of you stop me! Watch me kill this little brat!"
Life: "Stop, quickly stop! You must not fight anymore!"
It was fortunate that the other gods were present to hold the God of Destruction back.
After all, who in the God Realm didn't know that the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life had already begun preparing to conceive?
Although it was still unknown if the Goddess of Life could even get pregnant.
But to say you were going to spirit away someone's future "little cotton-padded jacket" right to their face?
Was that something a human—oh no, a god—could actually do?
It was from that moment on that Poseinan gained a nickname in the God Realm: the Demon Child!
Regarding this, the Goddess of Love also had a massive headache.
"Mother, does this mean that the old geezer Destruction will be coming tomorrow too?"
The Goddess of Love glared with her beautiful eyes. "You little brat, what are you planning now? Is the trouble you caused your father and me last time not enough?"
Poseinan acted spoiled and said, "Oh, Mother, I didn't say I was going to provoke him. I heard that the old geezer Destruction proposed expanding the God Realm, right? Since the God Realm is almost at capacity, why not let me go down to the mortal realm to play?"
Since Asura wouldn't give him a chance, he might as well throw his lot in with Destruction completely.
Hearing this, the Goddess of Love turned pale, and she hugged Poseinan even tighter. "The mortal realm? No, absolutely not!"
"Nannan, no matter how willful you've been in the past, Mother could always agree to it, but not this. Absolutely not!"
Poseinan felt a bit uncomfortable being held so tightly, but he understood.
His mother was a very sensitive person, and having been betrayed by those closest to her in the past, she was always terrified of loss.
Poseinan was also reluctant to leave; after all, as an orphan in his previous life, he had enjoyed the endless love of his mother, the Goddess of Love, in this one.
But such was his destiny, and he had to consider the future.
He gritted his teeth and hardened his heart. "Mother, but you wouldn't want your child to stay by your side forever and achieve nothing, would you?"
The Goddess of Love naturally didn't want to see her child achieve nothing, but...
Just then, a clear, resonant voice echoed through the great hall: "Little Love, let him go."
The speaker walked over slowly.
With green hair and an air of natural authority, it was none other than the Sea God, Poseidon.
Tears instantly welled up in the Goddess of Love's eyes, and she looked as if she were about to weep. "Dong-lang, but Nannan is still so young! The hearts of those in the mortal realm are unpredictable. If he gets bullied, we won't be able to help him."
"Young?"
"Back in the day, I, Poseidon, went to sea at six years old, arrived at that nameless island, and began my journey. By sixteen, I was already the strongest person on that island."
"Nannan is my son, the son of the Sea God. No one can bully him. Besides, Nannan's talent is far higher than mine was back then!"
Having been in the God Realm for many years, the Sea God had still not been able to break through the shackles of the God King level that were right within his reach.
Regarding this, he was also deeply helpless.
If only he hadn't been so impatient to become a god back then, if only his ambition had been a little greater!
If he could seize the faith of the continent in one fell swoop, how could he possibly remain stuck at the peak of this first-tier god realm?
Therefore, the Sea God naturally placed high hopes on Poseinan.
He hoped that he could take his place and break through that layer of shackles.
Now that he had proposed descending to the mortal realm, wasn't that just perfect?
It even saved him the trouble of having to think of a way to trick him into going down there.
