Son of the Sea God, Poseinan

[Seeing these words is like seeing me, Sister Xue'er—let's call you that for now. By the time you read this letter, your grandfather will have already taken me toward Sea God Island. Don't bother looking for me; you won't find me.]

Qian Renxue's hand, clutching the letter, suddenly tightened, and a wave of loss washed over her heart.

So, he really left?

But weren't they friends?

Why didn't he even say goodbye before leaving?

The young girl didn't understand what this feeling was.

She only felt a tightness in her chest, a stinging sensation in her nose, and her heart felt as if it were being pinched by something, aching faintly.

[Also, I talked to your mother just now. She actually loves you very much, but there are unavoidable reasons why she cannot accept you. I have a suggestion—you can try it, or you don't have to. You could try dyeing your hair the same color as your mother's...]

Seeing this, the grievance and dissatisfaction in Qian Renxue's heart were instantly washed away by a wave of warmth.

She raised her hand to gently tuck back her smooth, golden hair, then thought of her mother's beautiful hair. Her eyes lit up, and she murmured to herself, "If I just change my hair to the same color as Mother's, will she stop hating me?"

"Yes, whether it works or not, I have to try!"

"Thank you, Poseinan..."

She clenched her small fists, her gaze becoming incredibly firm.

[Lastly, I want to say: you aren't crying again after reading this, are you? Hahahaha, you little crybaby! How pathetic!!]

(Poseinan had even drawn a funny face at the end.)

Until she finished the final words, Qian Renxue's eyes were red and swollen; she could no longer hold back. But, not wanting him to see her as a joke, she stubbornly held it in, biting her lip as she cursed:

"Idiot! Idiot! Poseinan, you big idiot!"

"I... I won't cry!"

Sea God Island.

Boundless waves beat tirelessly against the dark reefs, emitting a heavy, rhythmic sound.

The leisurely Sea Witch was leaning against a smooth reef, her fair ankles soaked in the cool seawater, preparing to play a melodious tune on her Sea-Suppressing Flute, accompanied by the sea breeze.

Suddenly, a brilliant and majestic golden stream of light streaked over from the distance.

It instantly made her hair stand on end, as if facing a formidable enemy!

At almost the same moment, six other powerful auras erupted across Sea God Island, rapidly converging toward the coastline.

Seven figures, like seven pillars anchoring the sea, appeared on the shore.

They were none other than the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo of Sea God Island.

Sea Dragon Douluo, the leader, wore a stern expression. Looking at the rapidly approaching golden light, his voice boomed like a bell across the coast: "Who goes there? How dare you trespass on my Sea God Island!"

Sea Ghost Douluo shouted sternly, "Big Brother, why waste words with him! It's clearly that scum from Spirit Hall! I never imagined they would dare to invade our Sea God Island again!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other Sacred Pillar Douluo also turned cold.

The scene of Spirit Hall's massive invasion of Sea God Island many years ago was something they could never forget.

Although they had easily repelled the enemy under the leadership of High Priest Poseixi, the islanders living near Sea God Island had suffered heavy casualties.

It was from that time on that Sea God Island, which had been extremely hospitable, began to show extreme hatred and exclusion toward mainland soul masters.

Sea Dragon Douluo did not immediately agree with Sea Ghost.

Because he could feel that the aura within that golden light was as deep as the sea, so profound that even he found it difficult to discern.

Watching the golden light slowly descend onto a reef not far from the shore, it revealed the figures of an old man and a blue-haired boy.

Sea Dragon Douluo issued another warning: "Those ahead, halt your steps! Otherwise, there will be no mercy!"

As the word "mercy" fell, the seven Sacred Pillar Douluo stepped forward simultaneously, their soul rings erupting.

Seven Title Douluo in total, sixty-three soul rings rising around them.

The black and purple halos of the soul rings wove into a terrifying canopy of soul power. The pressure swept across the entire coast; the reefs beneath their feet cracked inch by inch, and the waves were forced to retreat repeatedly.

Such a lineup was enough to make every power on the continent, save for Spirit Hall, tremble.

Facing this formation, which would make the world pale, Qian Daoliu's face remained calm and indifferent.

He even tilted his head slightly, teasing Poseinan beside him: "Little Nan, looking at this situation, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for you to take this first step home. Do you need this old man to intervene?"

"No need."

Poseinan stretched out his small hand, blocking Qian Daoliu.

"If I cannot even convince the most loyal believers under my father, and if I require the help of an outsider just to earn the right to step onto Sea God Island..."

He raised his deep blue eyes, looking toward the seven upright figures and the island behind them, which was shrouded in faith: "How can I speak of inheriting the blood of the god!"

The boy's pace was steady and unhurried.

With every step he took, even the waves beneath his feet automatically receded, parting a path for him.

It was as if he were born to be the King of the Sea!

Watching this small yet imposing figure, a flicker of complex surprise crossed Qian Daoliu's eyes as he sighed inwardly, When this child is being mischievous and unruly, he is truly infuriating, but once he gets serious, his bearing and temperament are like those of a completely different person.

"Poseixi, just how on earth did you raise such a son?"

Seeing that the person walking toward them was nothing more than a wet-behind-the-ears youth, Sea Ghost Douluo immediately barked a sharp warning:

"You yellow-mouthed brat, how dare you bring people to trespass on my Sea God Island! If you don't want to be smashed to pieces, then hurry up and..."

The final word, "scram," stuck firmly in his throat, unable to be uttered.

Not only him, but the other six Holy Pillar Douluos, along with the Sea God Island spirit masters and residents who had been alerted and were watching from afar, all widened their eyes, their faces filled with incredulous shock.

They saw a massive phantom appear behind Poseinan.

That phantom was dressed in a Canglan Robe, wore a Trident Ring upon its head, and held the Sea God Trident in its hand.

This appearance, this attire, this aura...

Was this not the Sea God himself, whom the thousands of people on Sea God Island knelt to and worshipped day and night, and whose image was carved into the depths of their souls?

No!

It possessed even more divinity than those cold statues!

With every step the youth took, the Sea God phantom behind him became a fraction more solid.

Until he walked, without reservation, right in front of them.

"No! No, no... how is this possible!"

Sea Horse Douluo's face was full of disbelief: "He is an outsider, how could he awaken the Sea God Spirit inherited by our Sea God Island?"

Sea Witch rubbed her eyes: "Am I still dreaming, or did I see that wrong?"

Sea Ghost Douluo gritted his teeth and said: "No, you didn't see it wrong. This is the Sea God Spirit, the genuine Sea God Spirit!"

Sea Star Douluo whispered a guess: "Could it be that Lady Poseixi... secretly went out and had an illegitimate child?"

Sea Dragon Douluo glared at him fiercely and rebuked: "Shut your mouth! What nonsense are you spouting! Lady Poseixi is pure and chaste, devoted entirely to serving the Sea God; how can you allow yourself to slander her like this!"

Just as the crowd was filled with confusion and doubt, Poseinan's youthful, clear voice rang out across the entire scene:

"Poseinan, son of the Sea God, greets the Holy Pillar Douluos!"
