On a golden beach, atop a reef.

A man and a woman leaned against each other. The man was exceptionally handsome, while the woman possessed breathtaking beauty. She stood 1.8 meters tall, wrapped in a flowing red robe, with sea-blue hair cascading down her back.

Beside the woman stood a golden scepter, three meters tall. Its top rose like the point of a spear, set with a golden gemstone.

Her lower abdomen was faintly swollen.

The woman leaned reluctantly against the man's shoulder, her eyes filled with melancholy. "You... really have to go?"

The man's gaze was resolute as he nodded. "I've found a place. It holds the inheritance left behind by a powerful god. I must go there."

She understood that Ascending to Godhood was his greatest dream.

Their strength had already reached the pinnacle of this world. Other than Ascending to Godhood, there was no other path.

The woman touched her slightly raised belly. No matter how reluctant she was, this was his dream—and the promise he had once made to her.

"Go. I will raise this child safely." The woman lovingly stroked her belly, eagerly awaiting the day this child would arrive.

The man looked at her, feeling deeply indebted.

"Wait for me. Once I Ascend to Godhood, I'll marry you!" This was the promise he had made himself.

Then, the man left behind a small hammer. After one final look at the woman he loved, he transformed into a streak of red light and departed.

Before they knew it, seven years quietly passed.

The man had been gone for seven years, and their child had already turned six. Tomorrow would be the day of the child's Spirit Awakening.

It was still the same place, atop the reef where the two of them had once stayed.

The stunningly beautiful woman's companion had never returned.

Yet she still came here as always, waiting for the arrival of the man she loved.

Sitting beside the beautiful woman was a six-year-old child. The boy was very handsome, the crystallization of her love with that man.

"Mom, who exactly is my dad?" the boy asked the same question again.

Ever since he could remember, this question had often lingered in the woman's heart.

The woman smiled faintly and lovingly rubbed the boy's head. "Feng'er, your father is one of the strongest beings in this world. He promised Mom that once he fulfilled his dream, he would come back."

This was Sea God Island, and the boy's mother was named Bo Saixi.

That was right—she was the Sea God Douluo, one of the world's three Peerless Douluo.

The boy was called Bofeng. He was someone who had retained memories from his previous life. He had somehow transmigrated here, fortunately having drunk Meng Po Soup diluted with a little water before arriving.

He knew the complete history of this world, as well as how events would unfold afterward.

That was right, his mother was actually Bo Saixi! She was the Great High Priest of Sea God Island, a Level 99 Peerless Douluo whose strength stood at the pinnacle of this world.

This world was Douluo Continent.

It was a world with Spirits. Spirits could be weapons, Spirit Beasts, or even common farming tools.

Soul Masters were the most esteemed profession in this world.

After six full years, Bofeng had become accustomed to everything on Sea God Island.

Aside from having an overwhelmingly powerful mother, he had never met his mysterious and powerful father since childhood. Every time he asked his mother about it, Bo Saixi always gave him the same answer.

As time passed, Bofeng gradually came to terms with it.

"Feng'er, tomorrow is your Spirit Awakening. If Mom isn't mistaken, your Spirit will definitely be the Sea God, just like Mom's Spirit." Bo Saixi smiled. She had placed great hopes on this child. He had been lovable since childhood and had always obediently listened to her.

"The Sea God?" Bofeng murmured.

That was a God-level Spirit. Like the Six-winged Angel on the continent, it was an immensely powerful existence.

As Bo Saixi's child, it was only natural for Bofeng to inherit the Sea God Spirit. A Spirit's inheritance came from the stronger of the parents' Spirits.

"Mom, I want to..." Bofeng asked tentatively.

Bo Saixi remained calm, listening attentively.

"I don't want to stay on Sea God Island forever. I heard from the others that Douluo Continent has lots of fun places, so..." Bofeng stammered.

A mother and son were connected at heart, and Bo Saixi instantly understood what her son was thinking.

"You want to venture onto the continent?" Bo Saixi asked with a smile.

Bofeng silently nodded. As one of the countless transmigrators, now that he had come to Douluo Continent, he could not remain on Sea God Island and accomplish nothing. There would be someone named Tang San in the future who would receive the Sea God's Nine Trials, and his mother would have to make a Sacrifice. He absolutely could not allow that to happen.

Having been reborn into this life, every moment he had spent with his mother over these six years had been deeply etched into Bofeng's heart.

There was also his mysterious father. From something his mother had mentioned unintentionally, his father came from Douluo Continent and was not from Sea God Island.

In his previous life, he had neither father nor mother. In this life, he had finally gained a family. His mother had always been there, but his father had left for a full six years because of the promise he had made.

Over those six years, Bo Saixi had never left this place. She had waited here all along for that man to return.

For his mother, and also for his father, Bofeng decided to venture onto the continent.

As the Great High Priest of Sea God Island, his mother governed the entire sea region and could not leave easily. Under her command were the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians, all powerful Titled Douluo. The strongest among them was the Sea Dragon Douluo, a Level 95 Titled Douluo.

"You are destined to govern Sea God Island in the future. Since that is so, Mom will make a bet with you." Bo Saixi smiled. "If your Soul Power reaches Level Thirty by the time you are twelve, Mom will allow you to travel the continent for a few years. But if you still haven't reached Level Thirty by twelve, then stay obediently by Mom's side and learn how to manage Sea God Island properly. How about it?"

Level Thirty?

The Sea God was a God-level Spirit. After awakening it, he would definitely possess Innate Full Soul Power. With another six years ahead of him, that would certainly be enough time for Bofeng to cultivate to Level Thirty.

Bofeng did not hesitate and nodded. "All right."

Mother and son clapped hands to seal the agreement. Then Bo Saixi left first. As the Great High Priest of Sea God Island, governing Sea God Island was an important duty.

Bofeng sat alone on the reef, gazing out at the boundless sea before him. He truly looked forward to seeing what the continent was like.

He silently formulated a series of training plans. He could seek help from the seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo, who were the strongest beings on Sea God Island beneath his mother.

With their help, he would surely achieve his small goal of reaching Level Thirty in six years.

He had heard his mother say before that his father was no weaker than she was.

So who exactly was his father?
