Sea God Island fell silent.

The next moment, the barrage outside the Heavenly Screen completely erupted.

[Rogue Soul Master: He agreed! Qian Daochen really agreed!]

[Duke of Netherworld of the Star Luo Empire: The two of them even pledged themselves to each other!]

[Elephant Armor Sect Master Huyan Zhen: Isn't this way too fast?]

[Sea Horse Douluo: The High Priest actually truly likes Qian Daochen!]

[Sea Lance Douluo: Qian Daochen even left behind the words, "Wait for my return"!]

[Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen: What enemy is he going to face?]

[Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan: An enemy strong enough for even Qian Daochen to regard as powerful has likely reached the level of a Peerless Douluo.]

[Rogue Soul Emperor: Qian Daochen thirty years ago was at least rank ninety-nine! He may have even surpassed a Peerless Douluo!]

[Sea Horse Douluo: He said, "Wait for my return," but where did he ultimately go?]

Sea God Island.

The seven Sacred Pillar Douluo were all frozen where they stood.

They had served Bo Saixi for many years, yet they had never seen her show such an expression.

Sea Horse Douluo looked up toward the front of the Sea God Temple.

Bo Saixi still held her scepter.

Her gaze rested on the white-clad figure gradually fading from the Heavenly Screen, while the flush on her face had yet to completely recede.

Sea Lance Douluo could not help but ask, "High Priest, did Qian Daochen really leave Sea God Island back then?"

Bo Saixi withdrew her gaze.

"He had something he had to do."

"Did he return afterward?"

Bo Saixi was silent for a moment.

"No."

The seven Sacred Pillar Douluo exchanged glances.

Sea Horse Douluo cautiously asked, "Then have you been waiting for him all this time?"

Bo Saixi raised her head toward the Heavenly Screen.

"He said he would return."

She offered no further explanation.

Spirit City.

Qian Renxue covered her lips with both hands, her eyes shining.

"Great-Grandfather really kissed Bo Saixi!"

Qian Daoliu stood beside her, his expression complicated.

He watched Qian Daochen's departing back and let out a soft sigh only after a long while.

"As expected of my elder brother."

"He easily did what I had never been able to do."

Qian Renxue turned to look at him.

"Grandfather, do you regret it?"

Qian Daoliu shook his head.

"My path was different from my elder brother's."

"It was simply that Bo Saixi truly deserved to have someone by her side."

His gaze fell upon Sea God Island.

"Unfortunately, my elder brother ultimately still left."

"He said the enemy was very strong."

Qian Renxue frowned.

"What kind of enemy could make Great-Grandfather leave Bo Saixi behind?"

Qian Daoliu did not answer.

He did not know either.

Slaughter City.

Tang Chen stared at the Heavenly Screen, not looking away for a long time.

Bo Saixi had confessed first.

Qian Daochen had agreed.

The two had pledged themselves to each other.

In the end, Qian Daochen left behind the words, "Wait for my return," and departed Sea God Island alone.

Tang Chen raised his wine cup and drained it in one gulp.

"So that was it."

At last, he understood why Bo Saixi had never chosen him back then.

It was not because he was not strong enough.

It was because Qian Daochen had given her the companionship she wanted, as well as enough respect.

Tang Chen lowered his head to look at the Heaven-Mixing Hammer in his hand.

"But why didn't he return?"

"Who exactly was the enemy?"

The discussions on the Heavenly Screen grew increasingly heated.

[Rogue Soul Master: Is Qian Daochen still alive?]

[Duke of Netherworld of the Star Luo Empire: There has been no trace of him for thirty years. He most likely already perished.]

[Elephant Armor Sect Master Huyan Zhen: Could such a powerful man also be killed by an enemy?]

[Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen: There are very few legends of him on Douluo Continent. Perhaps it is precisely because he died long ago.]

[Sea Horse Douluo: The High Priest waited for him for thirty years!]

[Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan: Qian Daochen's enemy was at least one of the strongest beings beneath the gods.]

Many Soul Masters looked at the words "Wait for my return" and felt a wave of melancholy in their hearts.

Qian Daochen already possessed the power to defeat Tang Chen at that time.

His choice to leave Sea God Island had surely been to face a battle capable of changing his fate.

But thirty years had passed.

His name had never appeared on the continent.

No one had seen any trace of him.

Nor had any sect retained any information about him.

In the eyes of many, Qian Daochen had already died in that battle.

Sea God Island.

Bo Saixi stood before the Sea God Temple.

She watched the white-clad figure in the Heavenly Screen completely fade away, her fingers gently brushing over the corner of her lips.

She had remembered that night's moonlight for thirty years.

"Are you still alive?"

Star Dou Great Forest.

Gu Yuena had likewise finished watching the entire scene.

A trace of interest appeared in her violet eyes.

"Qian Daochen is still alive."

Di Tian lowered his head. "My Lord, that human from today was Qian Daochen."

"I know."

Gu Yuena looked beyond the Heavenly Screen.

"He was able to suppress Bear Lord with a casual move, and he defeated Tang Chen thirty years ago."

"Now, he is even stronger than he was in the scene."

Bear Lord lowered its head to look at its right claw.

The sword scar had nearly vanished, yet the image of the sword's edge stopping before its claw remained etched in its mind.

Gu Yuena lightly raised her eyes.

"A human who had been forgotten by the continent for thirty years, yet still lived."

"And who took away the Light Dragon God Butterfly."

She watched the gradually changing Heavenly Screen, curiosity rising in her eyes.

"How interesting."

"I truly want to know where he went during those thirty years."

The scene continued.

Sea God Island.

At the summit of Sea God's Mountain.

Bo Saixi completed the Sea God Eighth Trial.

A golden pillar of light descended from the heavens and fell upon her.

Eight trial marks lit up at once, circling behind her.

As long as she completed the final trial, she could inherit the Sea God Godhood.

The Sea God's phantom stood above the ocean.

Boundless seawater churned endlessly, and golden divine light enveloped all of Sea God Island.

Bo Saixi stood before the Sea God Temple.

Her scarlet dress clung to her tall figure, while a golden sash cinched her slender waist.

The sea breeze stirred her skirt, revealing a stretch of fair calf.

She raised her head toward the golden mark in midair.

Only one final step remained.

Then she would truly become the Sea God.

Yet at that moment, the ninth trial mark did not descend for a long time.

The Sea God's phantom gradually dissipated.

The eight golden lights reentered Bo Saixi's brow.

She remained where she was, waiting for a long time.

There was no response from within the Sea God Temple.

Below Sea God's Mountain, the radiance of the seven Sacred Pillars also gradually dimmed.

Bo Saixi extended her hand.

The Sea God's Scepter in her palm emitted a faint golden glow, yet it could not trigger the final trial.

Her expression remained calm.

But everyone on Sea God Island had already sensed that something was wrong.

[Rogue Soul Emperor: Bo Saixi has already completed the Sea God Eighth Trial. Why hasn't the ninth trial appeared?]

[Sea Horse Douluo: As long as Lady Bo Saixi passes the ninth trial, she can inherit the Sea God Godhood!]

[Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen: Could there have been a change in the Sea God's trials?]

[Elephant Armor Sect Master Huyan Zhen: Lady Bo Saixi is already so powerful. Could she still lack the qualifications to become a god?]

Majestic words appeared on the Heavenly Screen, line by line.

[Bo Saixi completed the Sea God's top-tier eight trials.]

[Her cultivation reached rank ninety-nine.]

[The Sea God's power completely fused with her own Soul Power.]

[As long as she completes the Sea God Ninth Trial, she can inherit the Sea God Godhood.]

[However, Bo Saixi's physical strength is insufficient to withstand the inheritance of the godhood.]

[She cannot begin the Sea God Ninth Trial.]
