Battle for Landing on the Island (I)
"The Divine Decree proclaims your arrival." Bo Saixi, the Poseidon High Priestess, clad in a silver fishtail dress, walked through the air. Her golden Soul Power, infused with divine force, was so potent that even Tang Xiao, a level 97 Super Douluo, sensed a deadly danger emanating from her. She lightly tapped her scepter on the air, and everyone except Tang San, overwhelmed by the difference in their Goddess of Life levels, involuntarily lowered their heads. "Tang San, you have been chosen by the Lord Poseidon. Now, all you lack is a proper procedure..."
"High Priest, what is the procedure?" Tang San asked impatiently.
He didn't see the disappointment in Bo Saixi's eyes at all.
Fortunately, Bo Saixi was not someone who would defy divine Divine Decree because of his own emotional changes, or because of his liking or disliking of someone.
She was a qualified High Priest.
Yet he was also an overly competent High Priest.
From beginning to end, even after meeting Tang Chen, she still did not abandon her faith for the sake of the person she loved, and still put the interests of the Poseidon first. This was commendable, but also extremely foolish.
However, for the Deity, High Priest like Bo Saixi is an extremely rare find. If this world were gamified, you would definitely see an ouroboros symbol hanging on the back of Bo Saixi's head indicating that her loyalty is maxed out.
Such believers, who will never betray you under any circumstances, are the core of any religion. Even in the hands of Deity, they are the backbone of the core, and also the pawns that Deity use to stir up trouble.
However, Bo Saixi was unaware of these things.
Blind faith from childhood to adulthood.
This has continued for hundreds of years.
Her ingrained values led her to habitually obey all Divine Decree from the Poseidon, much like elephants in a circus whose training from childhood had made them forget their physical advantages; even with their enormous bodies, they had no thought of resistance.
Instead, they will think that everything they have now is the right thing to do.
"Come with me." Bo Saixi, who had been enslaved on a spiritual level, turned around and walked towards the islands not far away. On the way to the islands, she comforted them, "You have come from afar and have been through wind and rain. Please come with me to see where we can rest. If there is anything inappropriate, we can make adjustments in time... As for the process of making Tang San a formal Sea God Trial, I will tell you slowly after we arrive at Poseidon Island. There is no need to rush it now."
"Then we'll have to trouble the High Priest." Tang Xiao exchanged glances with Tang Hao and the others, then stepped forward and, in his capacity as the current sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "I am Tang Xiao, the Clear Sky Sect."
When you're on someone else's turf, you should naturally be polite.
Not to mention that the person in front of him is the Poseidon High Priestess.
Based on the intelligence they have gathered in recent days, as well as the intelligence that the Clear Sky Sect has previously collected, if they are not mistaken, any high High Priest of Deity has Soul Power Level of ninety-nine.
It won't be high, and it won't be low.
The Clear Sky Sect has produced some Limit Douluo before.
But that was over a hundred years ago.
Tang San's father is Tang Hao, Tang Hao's father was the previous Clear Sky Sect, and the previous Clear Sky Sect leader's father was Tang Chen.
This background is insufficient to justify their disrespect towards the Poseidon High Priestess.
However, to Tang Xiao and the others' surprise, the Poseidon High Priestess reacted strangely. He suddenly turned around, his purple eyes flashing with a rare look of surprise. He looked Tang Xiao up and down, then at Tang San, and frowned as he asked, "Tang Chen is yours...?"
"He is my and Hao's grandfather, and also Xiao San's great-grandfather; however, I was born earlier than Hao, so Hao has never met his grandfather in person, only seen his portrait." Tang Xiao guessed something from Bo Saixi's reaction, but he wasn't sure. Bo Saixi's reaction indicated that Bo Saixi and Tang Chen knew each other, but he didn't know whether this acquaintance was good or bad. Helpless, he could only cautiously probe, "High Priest, do you perhaps know my grandfather?"
Bo Saixi was immediately lost in memories.
As people grow old, many things that were taken for granted when they were young will become like scenes that sometimes appear and sometimes disappear, flashing before their eyes.
The villains are all controlled by the music box for a few seconds.
Although Bo Saixi is not a villain, how could she possibly forget the only love she ever had in her life so easily?
Four or five seconds passed.
Bo Saixi finally let out a long sigh of relief.
During this time, regardless of whether it was Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, the elders of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang San, or the other Clear Sky Sect disciples around them, no one dared to breathe and Jing Jing waited for the final result.
Fortunately, this result put them at ease.
They might even feel secretly relieved and happy.
"Since you are descendants of Tang Chen, you should know that in the era when Tang Chen dominated the world, there was a nickname: Invincible on Land..." Bo Saixi looked at the sea in front of him, his thoughts racing. "Back then, there was another expert who could rival Tang Chen, named Qian Daoliu, who was also the Angel God High Priest, known as Invincible in the Sky... Back then, the two of them went to sea to explore this world, and then, coincidentally, they encountered me. At that time, I was about the same level as them, Limit Douluo of level ninety-nine. But because it was at sea, I had the advantage of timing, location, and people. So, after a draw between the two of them, they gave me a nickname: Invincible in the Ocean. In reality, there was no invincibility. On land, I fought Tang Chen again, and I lost. In the sky, I fought Qian Daoliu again, and I lost again. The three of us were actually evenly matched. The only difference was that back then, the two of them were pursuing me, while I had some emotional entanglements with your Clear Sky Sect's Tang Chen."
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao had somewhat strange expressions.
Several elders of the Clear Sky Sect also silently clicked their Delia.
As far as they know.
Tang Chen had a wife in his early years.
He simply passed away from illness.
She is also the biological mother of Tang Xiao and Tang Hao's father.
Who would have thought that Tang Chen, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be so lustful and fickle, setting his sights on the Poseidon High Priestess?
You have quite the appetite!
"So, back then, in order to dissuade Qian Daoliu, I played a little trick..." As if recalling something interesting, Bo Saixi narrowed her eyes and smiled for once, "I called them together and then told them: among you, whoever can become a god, I will marry... Unfortunately, he didn't understand."
Tang Xiao and the others didn't understand either.
Only Tang San clapped his hands thoughtfully.
He tentatively inquired, "Both you and Qian Daoliu hold the position of High Priest of the Deity. Priests, as the name suggests, should not be able to become gods... So, does that mean Qian Daoliu automatically loses the right to marry you? Even if Tang Chen cannot, his future is still promising?"
"That makes sense." Bo Saixi looked at Tang San with a strange gaze, thought for a moment, and then couldn't help but frown, saying, "But Tang Chen is ultimately your great-grandfather. What right do you have to address him by his name?"
Tang San's expression froze instantly.
He silently cursed in his heart for being a busybody.
However, he quickly apologized, saying, "I was just excited and realized the trick. Please forgive my slip of the tongue, senior!"
Bo Saixi gave Tang San a deep look.
But in the end, he didn't say anything.
With a wave of his hand, the waves propelled the Clear Sky Sect's ship to the shore.
