The vast sea, Sea God Island. Sea God Island's High Priest, Bo Saixi, stood at the edge of a cliff in magnificent robes, a scepter in hand, gazing toward the continent.

The cold sea breeze stirred her long hair. Bo Saixi's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. For some reason, ever since Tang San and his group had set foot on Sea God Island, an inescapable gloom had lingered in her heart, leaving her restless.

It was as though Sea God Island was about to face some calamity. A Titled Douluo's intuition was never unfounded, and a Peerless Douluo's intuition was even more so.

Moreover, Tang San and the others possessed exceptionally formidable talent. Tang San himself had begun the Nine Sea God Trials and was the future Sea God successor personally chosen by the Sea God.

Although the others who had come with him were slightly less gifted than Tang San, each of them had gradually received the inheritance of other deities after setting foot on Sea God Island.

To Bo Saixi, this was utterly inconceivable.

Ever since they had arrived on Sea God Island, those who had come with Tang San had successively received the inheritances of other deities.

It was as though divine inheritances had lost their formerly harsh standards. One had to know that, in the past, not even one divine inheritor would appear in ten thousand years.

Yet now they were appearing in clusters. Bo Saixi found it difficult to comprehend, but what alarmed her even more was that every one of their God Trials was progressing at an unbelievably rapid pace.

"High Priest, what has you troubled again?!" Sea Dragon Douluo slowly walked up behind Bo Saixi and bowed slightly.

"I do not know why." Bo Saixi sighed softly. "Since Tang San and the others came to Sea God Island, Tang San has begun the Nine Sea God Trials. He is the future successor of the Sea God."

"His companions have also received the inheritances of deities for reasons unknown. Yet I cannot shake this sense of unease, as though something earth-shattering is about to happen."

"High Priest, do you remember under what pretext Tang San and the others came to Sea God Island in the first place?"

Sea Dragon Douluo pondered for a moment before asking tentatively.

"Did they not say they had come to Sea God Island to train and seek divine inheritances?" Bo Saixi said calmly.

"I fear that was not entirely the case." Sea Dragon Douluo shook his head and lowered his voice. "From what this subordinate observed, they seemed to conceal something in their words. It was more as though they had fled here from the continent."

"Fled? Fled from what?" Bo Saixi raised a brow.

"This subordinate does not know the details. I merely overheard a few fragments of what they said from time to time. As for the rest, I know nothing."

"Fleeing... Could it be because of Spirit Hall?" Bo Saixi murmured. "The situation on the continent has been shifting dramatically recently, and Spirit Hall has made major moves. It seems they have already established the Spirit Hall Empire?"

"However, that has nothing to do with us. Sea God Island stands apart from the conflicts of the continent. No matter what the Spirit Hall Empire intends to do, they can forget about affecting us Sea Soul Masters or Sea God Island!"

At the same time, the atmosphere inside a hall on Sea God Island had become particularly grave.

Tang San, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Bai Chenxiang, Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, Tang Hao, and the others were gathered there.

"Teacher, why have I been feeling so unsettled lately? It feels as though I have a bad premonition?" Tang San pressed a hand to his chest and said solemnly, "Do you think... Qian Daoliu might come looking for us?"

Whenever he thought of how he had accidentally killed Qian Renxue in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, a wave of lingering fear rose in Tang San's heart.

He truly had not meant to do it at the time. Had he known that killing Qian Renxue would bring such grave consequences, he never would have done it.

That was a Peerless Douluo—a Peerless Douluo standing at the pinnacle of the continent. No one knew what madness he might commit after losing a loved one!

That was precisely why they had hurriedly fled Heaven Dou City, fled the Heaven Dou Empire, and even escaped Douluo Continent itself to reach Sea God Island.

They had come here to improve their strength, but ultimately, they were refugees, fleeing from Qian Daoliu's pursuit.

"Do not worry, Little San." Yu Xiaogang looked composed, as though everything was under his control. "Qian Daoliu is the High Priest of the Angel God. The Qian Family has always regarded protecting the continent as its duty and purging Fallen Soul Masters from the continent as its sacred calling!"

"Even if you killed Qian Renxue, as long as he cannot find you, he would never lay a hand on our friends and family back on the continent! Otherwise, how would he be any different from a Fallen Soul Master?!"

"Besides, you have the Nine Sea God Trials and are the successor personally chosen by the Sea God. And you all..."

Yu Xiaogang's gaze swept across Dai Mubai and the others, his tone carrying a pride he could not conceal. "You have all received the favor of deities. You are destined to become lofty gods in the future! Qian Daoliu is merely at the pinnacle of mortals. There is nothing to fear!"

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang grew somewhat emotional, tears welling in his eyes. "I never imagined that I, Yu Xiaogang, would have such a useless martial soul, yet still teach a group of gods! A group of gods!"

He wiped at his damp eyes, his voice choking slightly. "I, Yu Xiaogang, have not brought shame upon my family! I have not!"

"Yes, Xiaogang, you have never brought shame upon your family!"

Liu Erlong looked at the agitated Yu Xiaogang with eyes full of admiration. "You are the greatest pride of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School! Damn Spirit Hall—if they had not destroyed our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, then when you returned with a group of gods, those people in the family who once spoke ill of you would definitely kneel before you and beg forgiveness!"

Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others exchanged glances, each seeing a trace of something strange in the others' eyes.

Had they not received divine inheritances because their own talents were powerful and they had earned the deities' recognition? What did that have to do with Yu Xiaogang?!

"Little San, your worries are completely unnecessary." Yu Xiaogang failed to notice everyone's odd expressions. "Qian Daoliu may indeed be extraordinarily powerful, but if he comes to Sea God Island, I believe the Sea God Island High Priest will never allow him to act as he pleases!"

"At sea, the High Priest of Sea God Island is the strongest. Even if he truly comes, he will absolutely be no match for her."

"You are the successor personally chosen by the Sea God. No matter what, the High Priest of Sea God Island will protect you to the death!" Yu Xiaogang said with a smile.

In truth, when Tang San had accidentally killed Qian Renxue, Yu Xiaogang had also been utterly terrified.

If not for that, they would not have fled together to Sea God Island like homeless dogs.

God Realm.

"Poseidon, you need to speed things up. Hurry and have Tang San complete your God Trials and become a god! Otherwise..."

"I am already doing my best. The rules of the God Realm are right there. No matter how fast I go, how much faster can I possibly be?!"

"Besides, have you not also sent down inheritances for those little brats around Tang San? Is that still not enough?"

"Of course it is not enough! That person from Spirit Hall in the lower realm has gone completely mad with killing. Gods cannot directly interfere in the lower realm, so we must make thorough preparations."

"I understand. I will lower the difficulty of the God Trials further and have Tang San complete them as soon as possible."

"Still, if he inherits my Sea God Position, how is he supposed to inherit your Asura God Position?"

"I have my own way. You need not worry!"
