Another Negative Example +1, the Jade Water Pearl
"Are you not the Water God's Remnant?"
"Who are you?"
After Ye Hua finished speaking, the cold-faced beauty's expression froze.
After a long pause, she asked dejectedly, "How did you figure that out?"
"It's too obvious," Ye Hua said, both amused and exasperated. "If you still can't see it, I'm blind."
"First of all, the absurdity of the First Trial is its biggest flaw."
"Then, since you are the Water God's Remnant, why are you wary of High Priest Bo Saixi?"
"Finally, your excessive concern for the giant octopus makes me suspicious of your relationship."
Ye Hua paused, then looked directly into her eyes.
So, stop pretending.
"What exactly is your relationship with the Siren?"
The cave was eerily quiet.
Only water droplets remained, the sound of water dripping from the stalactites.
The cold-faced beauty lowered her head, her long hair obscuring her face, and after a long while, she spoke bitterly.
"Yes, I am not the Water God's Remnant."
I thought the stillness of the sea would deter people from taking action.
"Your arrival was so sudden, I wasn't prepared at all."
"My name is Saiya." She put down her load instead. "Siren is my older sister."
Bai Xiuxiu's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth, "Then how did you end up in the Water God's Ruins?"
Saiya opened her eyes, which were bloodshot.
"Back then, the Octopus Clan established themselves in the Deep Sea through their own strength."
"The Sea God insisted on recruiting us, wanting us to offer our faith, but my sister refused."
She gritted her teeth, "The Sea God used 'disrespect' as an excuse to suppress us and imprison my sister!"
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Bai Xiuxiu secretly glanced at Bo Saixi.
Her eyes flickered with uncertainty, but in the end, she remained composed.
"The tribe was thrown into chaos; some died, and others scattered."
"To save my sister, I searched the entire Deep Sea, and finally found the ruins of the Water God."
"The lingering Water God's Remnant was almost dissipating when she told me that as long as I protected the ruins for her and drove away all those seeking the inheritance, she would help me rescue my sister!"
Bai Xiuxiu blinked, then innocently asked, "Were they rescued in the end?"
She realized what she'd said as soon as it left her mouth and awkwardly shrank back.
"Sorry..."
Saiya smiled bitterly, "I've guarded the ruins for 20,000 years, trying to contact the Water God, but I can no longer reach him."
The entire room fell silent.
Bo Saixi sighed.
"In fact, unification is destined to be accompanied by bloodshed."
"However, at least the Lord Sea God keeps his word."
We will never go back on our word!
Ye Hua's eyelids twitched.
Unification will inevitably involve bloodshed; that is the truth.
If the Two Great Empires and the Spirit Hall are unwilling to join forces to resist the Abyss, he will have no choice but to resort to forceful measures.
But Saiya disagreed, "We just don't want to be bound, and we won't go against him!"
Do we have to kneel down for this to work?
Bo Saixi was speechless for a moment.
But she still insisted, "I owe my rise from an ordinary Soul Master to Ultimate Douluo to the Sea God's grace."
"No matter what you say, I will not question Sea God."
Saiya sneered and turned her head to the side.
Ye Hua shook his head as well, "It seems you don't believe Qian Daoliu's advice."
"God loves people, so we can't resort to conspiracy theories," Bo Saixi insisted.
Ye Hua knew there was no way to persuade him, as the other person had grown up under the influence of the Sea God.
It's like an old person who has received repressive education their whole life.
He suffered from it when he was young, he uses it now that he has children, and the elderly still worry about it. Can you change his parenting views?
When Shui Yue'er inherits the Godhood, the truth will naturally come to light.
Saiya took a deep breath, her gaze intense. "But what I'm curious about is, how did this gentleman know my sister's name?"
Seeing his anxiety, Ye Hua didn't beat around the bush and directly released the Qilin aura.
Your sister isn't dead.
Saiya's pupils trembled!
"My Auspicious Beast!"
Ye Hua nodded. "Follow me."
He raised his hand and clenched it in the air.
Space tore open, and a luminous Light Gate appeared.
Behind the gate, the mountains and waters are beautiful, and the elements are like mist.
It's like a paradise on earth.
"Come in." Ye Hua waved his hand.
Saiya stared blankly at the Light Gate, her heart pounding.
She hesitated for a few seconds, then stepped inside.
The Light Gate faces a vast expanse of water, bathed in warm, comforting sunlight streaming down from the sky.
On the water's surface, countless octopuses floated lazily, while Huo lay sprawled on the rocks.
Its dark purple skin gleamed healthily in the sunlight; there was not a trace of dryness or decay.
"Sister!" Saiya saw the Siren surrounded by admirers.
She stood frozen in place, afraid that this was all a dream.
But the sound of the Light Gate opening eventually startled the octopus swarm.
The Siren thought Ye Hua had arrived and hurriedly got up to greet him, but unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.
"Se... Ya?"
The Siren's voice was hoarse and unbelievable.
The next second, she transformed into human form and rushed up to hug him!
"You're still alive!" The Siren bit her lower lip.
I thought you were long dead, just like the rest of the clan!
Saiya's eyes reddened, "No... no..."
"Since you were captured, our people have all gone into seclusion. I went alone to find a way to rescue you."
"I was deceived, and today I stumbled upon you by sheer chance!"
Saiya spoke, she glanced guiltily at Ye Hua.
"What's going on?" Siren's heart skipped a beat, her face turning serious.
Saiya scratched her head sheepishly and explained the whole story.
"You!" Siren quickly pulled her sister and bowed to Ye Hua.
"Qilin, my sister is reckless. Please punish her!"
Ye Hua waved his hand, "I did not release the aura of Auspicious Beast; ignorance is no excuse."
"But you and your sister probably can't go out for the time being, lest the Sea God notice."
Siren nodded quickly, "Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble!"
"Then you sisters can catch up," Ye Hua shrugged, "I'll continue helping Bai Xiuxiu complete the assessment."
"Wait!" Saiya exclaimed in shock.
"Hmm?" Ye Hua turned around.
"The assessment content is fake!" Saiya quickly explained.
"Those assessments were all made up by me!"
"The Water God is afraid; if someone truly gains the approval of the Water Scepter, he will grant me the right to set the tests."
"The more outrageous the better, the better, it'll scare the heir away!"
Ye Hua smiled. "I know. I plan to take her back to the Water God's Ruins to undergo the test."
"That won't do!" Saiya hurriedly reminded her, "Bai Xiuxiu is Soul Beast!"
"We Soul Beast are not favored by the gods."
Even if you force the Water Scepter to acknowledge her, the Water God will not lower the test once he discovers Bai Xiuxiu's identity!
At that moment, Bai Xiuxiu, who was behind the Light Gate, also heard these words and rushed in.
"What should we do?" she asked, as if her mouth had been stuffed with bitter herbs.
After a long period of Saiya, a light shone before Seya's eyes.
"I have a way; the Water Scepter you obtained is not complete."
"To prevent me from acting recklessly, the Water God stole the soul from the Water Scepter and hid it away!"
Even if all other methods fail, without a complete Divine Artifact, one cannot inherit the Godhood!
Ye Hua suddenly realized.
No wonder, why is this Divine Artifact so unimpressive?
Even when someone's shattered divine Divine Artifact, the Fallen Angel Holy Sword, was struck by my [Dragon King's Slash], it still knew to resist before shattering.
Your Water Scepter, a complete Divine Artifact, was suppressed by me using the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline, and then casually handed over to Bai Xiuxiu.
"The missing part," Saiya rubbed her forehead, "Is the Jade Water Pearl."
"Where is it hidden?" Qian Renxue asked as she entered.
"Hmm..." Saiya frowned, "Although the Water God forbade me to know."
"But if we look back through the Water Scepter, it's in the sea!"
Qian Renxue:...
Bai Xiuxiu:...
For example!
