Background / History
The Sea God is tied to the divine inheritance represented by the Sea God/Asura God Tang San template used by Tang Chuan. Early in the story, Tang Chuan's system lists Sea God-related powers as locked, including the Sea God Domain and the Thirteen Golden Halberds 1.
Tang Chuan gradually accumulates Sea God Affinity after his seventh soul ring phase begins, sensing a faint connection to the vast ocean during cultivation 10. By the time his Sea God position progress reaches ninety-five percent, the faint trident mark on his forehead indicates extremely high affinity, close to the point where the Sea God could personally bestow a divine trial 46.
When Tang Chuan unlocks the Sea God's Trident, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud flies out of the Heaven Dou imperial treasury and fuses with the trident as its core. Tang Chuan then completes the Sea God's first eight trials in rapid succession without traveling to Sea God Island, causing Poseidon to send his divine sense into Tang Chuan's mind 48.
Poseidon tells Tang Chuan that the ninth trial will begin once he reaches Level 99 and acknowledges him as his inheritor 48. Over the next five years, the Sea God forcibly descends to interfere with the divine trials, but the Asura God discovers the interference. As a result, Tang Chuan receives most of the Sea God's ninth-trial rewards in advance, but cannot temporarily become the Sea God; the Sea God and Asura God positions are to be bestowed together after the Asura Nine Trials 52.
Abilities & Authority
Sea God Divine Trials
The Sea God controls or administers a divine inheritance system connected to Tang Chuan's template and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
- The first eight Sea God trials can grant rewards immediately upon completion 48.
- Completion of the eighth trial unlocks the one-million-year soul ring, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King Torso Bone, Level 99 access, and complete Sea God Affinity for Tang Chuan 48.
- The ninth trial is set to begin once Tang Chuan reaches Level 99 48.
- The full Sea God position is delayed after Asura God's intervention, with both divine positions planned to be granted together after the Asura Nine Trials 52.
Divine Sense
Poseidon is able to project his will directly into Tang Chuan's mind after the Sea God's first eight trials are completed.
- Speaks to Tang Chuan as his inheritor 48.
- Confirms that Tang Chuan's trial completion is unprecedented because it occurs without Sea God Island's baptism 48.
- Warns that the ninth trial will begin immediately at Level 99 48.
Sea God Affinity
Sea God Affinity is a key requirement for Tang Chuan's inheritance.
- Tang Chuan first senses a faint connection to the vast ocean after the seventh soul ring phase begins 10.
- By ninety-five percent Sea God position progress, his affinity is high enough that the Sea God is nearly ready to bestow a divine trial 46.
- Completion of the eighth trial grants complete Sea God Affinity 48.
Divine Artifacts
The Sea God's authority is closely tied to the Sea God's Trident and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
- Sea God's Trident — disappears from Sea God Mountain and appears before Tang Chuan after the trials complete 48.
- Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud — revealed as the Sea God's Heart and a core component split from the Sea God's Trident; it flies from the Heaven Dou imperial treasury and embeds into the trident 42 48.
- Once restored, the trident turns bright gold with flowing azure patterns and weighs one hundred and eight thousand jin, though only one hundred and eight jin in Tang Chuan's hands 48.
Story Role / Major Arcs
Tang Chuan's Sea God Inheritance
The Sea God's role is first foreshadowed through Tang Chuan's template, which includes locked Sea God-related abilities and the eventual unlocking of Sea God divinity 1.
Tang Chuan's growing affinity with the sea marks the beginning of the inheritance process. His divine-trial mark later becomes visible to Xue Qinghe, who recognizes it as proof of a divine trial 10 38.
The Trident Awakening
The Sea God's inheritance reaches a major turning point when Tang Chuan unlocks the Sea God's Trident. The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud leaves the Heaven Dou imperial treasury, fuses with the trident, and triggers the completion of the first eight Sea God trials 48.
Poseidon appears through divine sense, naming Tang Chuan his inheritor and setting the condition for the ninth trial: reaching Level 99 48.
Conflict with Asura God's Authority
During the five-year period after Tang Chuan's breakthrough, the Sea God forcibly descends to interfere with the trials. The Asura God discovers this and restructures the inheritance path, delaying Tang Chuan's formal ascension as Sea God until after the Asura Nine Trials 52.
Relationships
- Tang Chuan — Sea God inheritor; receives complete Sea God Affinity, the Sea God's Trident, and the first eight Sea God trial rewards 48.
- Asura God — divine authority who discovers the Sea God's interference and alters Tang Chuan's inheritance path so the Sea God and Asura God positions will be bestowed together later 52.
