"The God of Joy."
Hearing those words from Gu Shengge's mouth again, Bo Saixi involuntarily backed away a little.
She admitted that Gu Shengge was the most charming man she had ever seen. Whether it was his looks or his bearing, he was the most unique and captivating person she had encountered.
Yet as she watched Gu Shengge approach her with a face full of smiles, a faint sense of foreboding rose within Bo Saixi.
Just as Bo Saixi wanted to retreat, Gu Shengge, who had still been before her, vanished from her sight.
In an instant, Gu Shengge appeared right in front of Bo Saixi, reached out to pinch her chin, and looked down at her panic-stricken face.
With Gu Shengge holding her chin and forcing her to meet his gaze, Bo Saixi looked at the face mere inches from hers. Beyond alarm, her expression held even more flustered confusion.
What exactly was this man trying to do?
Watching Bo Saixi grow increasingly flustered, Gu Shengge suddenly laughed, still holding her chin.
"Tang Chen does have some talent, but he's nothing more than a wooden-headed fool. He never understood what you meant."
"Qian Daoliu was much cleverer. He understood the meaning behind your words straightaway."
!!!
Those two sentences alone filled Bo Saixi's eyes with terror.
This was no longer shock, but terror.
Was he... was he truly a god?
Otherwise, how could he possibly know something so secret?
"Right now, your heart belongs to that blockhead Tang Chen?"
Looking at the terror in Bo Saixi's eyes, Gu Shengge's lips curled into a wicked smile. "Don't worry. Soon, there won't be any room for him in your heart."
"I don't like taking things step by step. I generally prefer going straight in."
"Nor do I have the patience to wait for you to forget Tang Chen and fall in love with me."
!!!
"You... what are you going to do?"
Still held by the chin, Bo Saixi heard these words from Gu Shengge, and her eyes held nothing but terror as she looked at him.
Because she could not control her own body at all.
Ever since Gu Shengge had suddenly appeared before her and caught her chin, an invisible force had bound her body, even sealing away all the Soul Power within her.
Only a true god could wield such unfathomable abilities.
After all, she was a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo.
If he were not a god, who could possess such terrifying means?
"What am I going to do?"
"Turn you from the Sea God's believer into a believer of mine, the God of Joy, of course."
As he spoke, Gu Shengge released Bo Saixi's chin and pressed his palm directly onto the top of her head. "Just in time for you to try out my new ability as the God of Joy."
"God of Joy's Believer!"
As soon as Gu Shengge finished speaking, Bo Saixi's eyes turned into pink hearts beneath the large hand gripping the top of her head, and her body trembled continuously.
Gu Shengge's eyes shone as he watched the joy points on the system panel increase by the hundreds and thousands.
In less than half an incense stick's time, Bo Saixi's eyes rolled upward and her tongue hung out. Drool streamed continuously from the corners of her mouth as she collapsed limply to the ground, twitching.
Meanwhile, seeing the joy points on his system panel increase by over a hundred thousand, Gu Shengge felt utterly wonderful.
Bo Saixi certainly lived up to her name. A level ninety-nine Limit Douluo and the Sea God's guardian, she had provided him with over ten thousand years of cultivation in just half an hour.
He watched the God of Joy's Believer count on the panel change from 0 to 1.
God of Joy's Believer: Bo Saixi.
Looking at the now-unconscious Bo Saixi, Gu Shengge's lips curved slightly upward.
"What insolent wretch dares steal my believer!"
The moment Gu Shengge turned Bo Saixi from the Sea God's guardian into his own believer, Sea God Poseidon, who was in the Divine Realm, immediately sensed it.
His statue and inheritance happened to be on Sea God Island, so the furious Poseidon sent down a phantom.
With the descent of Poseidon's phantom, all seven pillars of Sea God Island were stunned.
Wait, why had the Sea God suddenly descended?
And why was he so enraged?
Seeing the golden phantom in the sky, brimming with divine might, everyone living on Sea God Island knelt in worship.
Gu Shengge, however, looked at Sea God Poseidon's phantom, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
"It can be refined right away."
As Gu Shengge finished speaking, he aimed his right hand at the golden phantom in the sky.
A Devouring Vortex appeared in Gu Shengge's right hand, and the newly descended Sea God Phantom was devoured without a trace.
Devouring Sea God Poseidon's phantom actually increased Gu Shengge's cultivation by fifty thousand years, pushing it past five hundred thousand years.
Gu Shengge had only just devoured a trace of Sea God Poseidon's origin divine power when, a second later, the five-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation appeared above Sea God Island, instantly shrouding more than half the island.
"Another great tonic has arrived."
Looking at the Heavenly Tribulation gathering overhead, Gu Shengge transformed into a Five-clawed Golden Dragon thousands of meters long and appeared in the skies above Sea God Island.
The residents of Sea God Island and the seven great Sacred Pillars saw Gu Shengge's true form and froze in place, at a loss.
Although they had never known of a Five-clawed Golden Dragon, the aura Gu Shengge released was enough to crush them all.
They could even clearly sense that, if he wished, he could kill every last one of them with ease.
The aura they sensed from Gu Shengge was a hundred, even a thousand times more terrifying than the divine might released by the phantom of the Sea God's Descent moments earlier.
While everyone on Sea God Island stared at Gu Shengge helplessly, he opened his great maw and swallowed the five-hundred-thousand-year tribulation clouds meant for him.
As the tribulation clouds vanished, Gu Shengge instantly returned to human form and appeared before Bo Saixi.
Even after Gu Shengge disappeared from their sight, the people of Sea God Island remained dazed for a long time.
Sea Dragon Douluo and the others of the Seven Sacred Pillars all hurried toward Great Enshrined Bo Saixi's residence.
Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm, Poseidon's face paled, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"What sort of monster has appeared in the Douluo Plane? He actually devoured a trace of my Divine Power Origin."
"And he could even sever the connection between me and my Godhood Guardian. Not even that fellow Asura can do that."
"How exactly did that fellow manage it?"
"Forget it. His strength is unfathomable. Even if I descended in my true body, I wouldn't be his match."
"Since he only wanted a believer, albeit a very important one, and didn't destroy all of Sea God Island, he's a friend rather than an enemy."
"Now, I'll just wait for that fellow to ascend to the Divine Realm."
"I'm actually rather looking forward to it. If that fellow Asura meets him, what sort of sparks will fly?"
"Keh heh heh~"
