"Sea God's Nine Trials."

The Seven Sacred Pillars behind Bo Saixi were so astonished that they fell speechless.

It was actually the Sea God's Nine Trials.

It had not appeared in a very long time.

Legend had it that anyone who passed the Sea God's Nine Trials could obtain the Sea God's Godhood and become a true Sea God.

The Seven Sacred Pillars stared at Qin Li with blazing eyes.

Would she become the future Sea God worshipped by Sea God Island?]

VIP Chatroom!

Qian Daoliu: Sea God's Nine Trials? I never expected her to receive the Sea God's recognition. But it makes sense. Her talent is exceptional, so it is only natural that the Sea God would favor her.

Bo Saixi: Sea God's Nine Trials? Sea God Island has not seen anyone receive the Sea God's Nine Trials in who knew how many years. This means the me from that parallel world can finally be free and no longer serve as Sea God Island's High Priest. What a pity she is not from my time.

Yu Xiaogang: But didn't Qin Li create her own Godhood? She will probably reject the Sea God's Nine Trials.

Sea Dragon Douluo: How could that be? This is the Sea God!

Ma Hongjun: So what if it is the Sea God? I think the Sea God is inferior to the god Qin Li created herself.

Sea Spear Douluo: Damn it! How dare you look down on our Lord Sea God!

Dai Mubai: So what? We are not going to Sea God Island. Besides, you worship the Sea God; that does not mean we do too.

Flanders: Ancestors, please stop talking. Can't you just watch the Sky Screen quietly?

Zhao Wuji: Oh no, the stingy dean has fainted from anger.

Davis: Heh heh, my dear little brother, you truly disappoint me.

Xue Qinghe: Now that so many of us know where Sea God Island is, can other people go there too and see whether they qualify for the Sea God's Nine Trials?

Xue Ye: Qinghe is right. That makes sense.

Sea Witch Douluo: That will not do. If they do not meet the requirements, they will not be able to leave Sea God Island. They may even be killed. The sea route from the continent to our Sea God Island is filled with powerful sea soul beasts. They will die.

Dugu Bo: Another place where a god's trial is held. How many things related to gods have appeared by now?

Dugu Yan: Grandpa, there have been several already. Qin Feng and Hu Liena on the Sky Screen, the Sea God, Spirit Hall's Angel God, and the previous Pope—they are all connected to gods.

Meng Yiran: What is the point of knowing this information? Those gods surely have very high standards. Ordinary people like us could never catch their eye.

Yu Tianxin: There is no harm in imagining it.

Bai Chenxiang: Do not belittle yourselves. Maybe we can do it.

["Can I reject the Sea God's Nine Trials?"

On the Sky Screen, Qin Li turned and asked Bo Saixi.

She felt that the Sea God was not very suitable for her. It seemed she had another path to walk.

"Yes, you can."

Bo Saixi nodded. Qin Feng had told her this would happen.

This was bound to happen.

That was only natural. Qin Feng's child could not possibly lack her own ideas.

She would probably create her own Godhood, just like Qin Feng.

"She really rejected the Sea God's Nine Trials?" Sea Dragon stared at Qin Li in shock.

He had not expected her to reject such a path to the heavens. What was she thinking?

"Yes. She has such courage." Sea Witch praised her.

"Ahem, do not say too much. The High Priest has not said anything." Hai Wang reminded them.

Even Bo Saixi had said nothing, so they could not go against her.

"Then I refuse to participate in the Sea God's Nine Trials." After receiving Bo Saixi's answer, Qin Li immediately spoke to the golden pillar of light.

Buzz—

The moment Qin Li finished speaking, the golden pillar of light began to slowly dissipate. Then Qin Feng spoke. "Since she will not participate in the Sea God's Nine Trials, let her receive a top-level trial instead."

Buzz!

The golden pillar trembled before turning red, then transformed into a red energy mark that imprinted itself upon Qin Li's forehead.

Sea Dragon: "???"

Sea Witch: "???"

Qin Li unconsciously touched her forehead, then looked at Qin Feng.

Had it just changed directly?

Was it because of her father?

Her father's status was far greater than she had imagined. With just one sentence, he had made the Sea God change his mind.

Having a powerful and dependable father really was wonderful.

"Top-Level Eight Trials? What a pity." Bo Saixi could not help sighing regretfully as she looked at the red pattern on Qin Li's forehead.

Qin Li looked at Bo Saixi in confusion. "What is it, Aunt Bo Saixi? Did you really hope I would agree to take the Sea God's Nine Trials?"

"No, it is not because of that. I knew you would not choose the Sea God's Nine Trials.

What I regret is that the Sea God gave you the Top-Level Eight Trials. You should know that only someone who has undergone the Top-Level Eight Trials can replace me as Sea God Island's High Priest.

You do not even think much of the Sea God's Nine Trials, so you certainly would not become Sea God Island's High Priest. That means I must keep waiting, waiting for someone to take my place."

Bo Saixi shook her head as she answered.

Only then did Qin Li understand why this had happened.

"Aunt Bo Saixi, do not worry. It will happen someday. If not, you can let Uncle Sea Dragon do it."

Qin Li said with a half-joking smile.

Sea Dragon Douluo's face immediately darkened. He did not dare do such a thing.

He had merely passed a Black-Level Trial. He was nowhere near worthy of the position of High Priest.

"Enough of this. Since you have received a trial, you need to cultivate on Sea God Island."

"Li'er, your father and mother will stay here with you."

Qin Li looked at Hu Liena. "Mom, it is fine for Dad to stay here, since he has nothing to do. But you are the Pope. Is it really okay for you to stay here alone?"

"Hey, wait a minute. Why does your tone make it sound like your father is some idle man with nothing to do?" Qin Feng interrupted her.

"Isn't that true? You two ran off on vacation for several years. What do you think, Dad? You have not even managed the cake shop, have you?"

Qin Li looked at Qin Feng with a faint, unreadable gaze.

In any case, she could tell that her parents liked having fun too. Fortunately, she was the same.

Was this what it meant to be father and daughter? Their personalities had been perfectly inherited.

"Ahem, your mother has already started planning to pass the position of Pope on to you."

Hu Liena did not quite dare meet Qin Li's eyes.

"What? Mom, I am still young! Why would you do that? You can continue serving as Spirit Hall's Pope. Please do not give such exhausting work to me."

Qin Li answered in horror.

This was far too unexpected. She almost could not accept the fact.

But when she saw the smile at the corner of Hu Liena's lips, Qin Li realized something.

Her mother had already begun doing it.

"M-Mom, do not tell me I already am, okay?" Qin Li murmured.

"Er, heh heh!"

Hu Liena awkwardly buried herself in Qin Feng's arms, her eyes turned toward the sky.
