[No. 5 among Douluo's ten strongest: Bo Saixi.] [Bo Saixi, level 99 Peerless Douluo, Great Enshrined of Sea God Island, God Level Martial Soul: Sea God.] [As the Sea God's Great Enshrined, Bo Saixi could also borrow the Sea God's power.] [In this state, Bo Saixi could last far longer than Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu.] [Bo Saixi is provisionally ranked fifth among Douluo's ten strongest.] [Bo Saixi's reward is as follows.] [Break through the restrictions between mortals and the Sea God, become a God Level powerhouse, and raise her divine power level to 110.]
The Divine Realm, Sea God Temple.
"Qian Yuhan, you really can't blame me for what happened back then. It was Asura God's idea."
"If you want revenge, you should go after Asura God, not me."
"Spare me. Becoming a god wasn't easy for me."
The Sea God was covered in blood, his aura feeble.
He had never imagined that Qian Yuhan would be so powerful after becoming a God King.
By his reckoning, even if he couldn't defeat Qian Yuhan, he could at least hold out until Asura God returned from the Douluo Continent.
But when Qian Yuhan smashed through the temple doors and stormed inside, the Sea God realized his thinking had been far too naive.
Faced with the Sea God's pleas for mercy, Qian Yuhan showed no softheartedness and said contemptuously:
"Sea God, Asura God is no good, and neither are you."
"Once I've killed you, I'll naturally go find Asura God to avenge my grievances and wash away my hatred."
"Angel Judgment!"
Qian Yuhan raised the Angel Holy Sword high, the power of judgment thick upon its blade.
"No, I won't accept this!" the Sea God shouted in despair as he watched the Angel Holy Sword descend toward him.
But his voice could not stop his fall.
The Angel Holy Sword plunged straight through the Sea God's head into his body, shredding and erasing his divine soul.
Great streams of golden blood poured from the Sea God's divine body as he collapsed limply inside the Sea God Temple.
After killing the Sea God, Qian Renhan still felt unsatisfied and used the Angel Holy Sword to cut his remaining corpse into ten thousand pieces.
After killing the Sea God, Qian Renhan left the Divine Realm. She now had to go to the Douluo Continent to settle accounts with Asura God.
The Douluo Continent.
The Sea God's death caused the Sky Curtain System to add another option to Bo Saixi's reward.
[Bo Saixi, the Sea God has died. You may now also choose between two rewards.] [The first option is to improve yourself.] [The second option is to resurrect the Sea God and allow his cultivation to break through to God King.] [Bo Saixi, you must choose within thirty seconds. If you don't choose, I'll choose for you.]
Sea God Island.
Bo Saixi instantly fell silent as she looked at the two options offered by the Sky Curtain System.
She was deeply conflicted.
The reason she had chosen Tang Chen back then was that he had a chance of becoming a god, while Qian Daoliu had none at all.
Now she could become a god herself, without relying on anyone else.
So what if the Sea God came back to life?
Would the Sea God let her become a god if he came back to life?
That was utterly impossible.
Moreover, the Sea God had actually died. Perhaps his divine seat would be left vacant as a result.
As the Sea God's Great Enshrined, once she had also broken through to God Level, all she would lack was a divine seat. She believed she could absolutely replace the Sea God.
Bo Saixi instantly made up her mind and said, "Sky Curtain System, I don't want to resurrect the Sea God. Please let me break through to God Level."
[As you wish.]
As the four large characters for "As you wish" appeared on the sky curtain, a beam of golden light descended from it, heading straight for Sea God Island and enveloping Bo Saixi.
Sea God Island.
Bo Saixi closed her eyes and felt it.
She murmured inwardly, Is this what breaking through to God Level feels like?
I have divine power now, too.
Once I claim the Sea God's divine seat, I'll be the new Sea God.
The golden light surrounding Bo Saixi disappeared.
But the power within her remained immense. Bo Saixi would still need to spend considerable time refining it before she could make it her own.
Bo Saixi entered the Sea God Hall and began her secluded cultivation.
The text on the sky curtain continued to scroll.
[In ten minutes, the fourth of Douluo's ten strongest will be revealed.]
The Douluo Continent, Spirit City.
After leaving the Divine Realm, Qian Yuhan focused her attention on her divine sense.
As early as her journey to settle accounts with the Sea God, Qian Yuhan had sent down a strand of divine sense, descending upon the Douluo Continent through the Angel God Kingdom.
She needed to learn about the current situation on the Douluo Continent and whether Asura God had arrived there.
There was also the matter of rewarding Qian Daoliu.
Spirit City, Worship Hall.
Qian Daoliu abruptly turned and ran toward the Angel God's inheritance grounds.
Before he reached the Angel God's inheritance grounds, he saw that the gates to the God Kingdom, originally tightly shut, stood wide open.
A majestic figure appeared within the Angel God Kingdom.
Although the figure looked somewhat illusory, Qian Daoliu could not possibly mistake her. This was the Qian Family's ancestor, the Angel God.
Qian Daoliu came before Qian Yuhan, knelt in worship, and said excitedly, "Ancestor, I've finally seen you."
"It's wonderful that you've come back to life!"
"Qian Daoliu, my return to life was also thanks to you."
"You gave up your chance to become a god to resurrect me. That alone shows how loyal you are to me," Qian Yuhan said with feeling.
Not everyone could relinquish the temptation of becoming a god.
Qian Daoliu hurriedly said, "Ancestor, it was only what I should have done."
"There is no question of what you should or shouldn't have done. Since you gave up your chance to become a god to resurrect me, I ought to reward you."
"Today, I will break your shackles and let you break through to God Level."
"Although you cannot become a true deity, you can still serve as a divine official in the Divine Realm and enjoy eternal life." As Qian Yuhan spoke, she extended a finger and pointed at Qian Daoliu.
A beam of golden light flew from Qian Yuhan's finger and sank into Qian Daoliu's body.
The shackles within Qian Daoliu's body were instantly broken, and his level rose to 100.
"Thank you for your gift, ancestral lord!" Qian Daoliu knelt in worship once more, his loyalty to and faith in Qian Yuhan growing even stronger.
"Qian Daoliu, you may withdraw. I need to learn what has happened on the Douluo Continent over the years."
Qian Yuhan left the Worship Hall and flew outside.
Following the traces left in this world, she began gathering the information she wanted.
Although the Sea God had framed her, she did not take her anger out on Sea God Island because of it. However, after learning that Qian Daoliu liked Bo Saixi, Qian Yuhan planned to give him another surprise.
Qian Yuhan flew toward Sea God Island.
Ten minutes passed in a flash.
The Sky Curtain System's voice once again rang in the ears of every intelligent being on the Douluo Continent.
"Next, we begin revealing No. 4 among Douluo's ten strongest: Gu Yuena."
[Gu Yuena, half-step God King, an incarnation of the Dragon God, Soul Beast Co-Ruler.] [Gu Yuena is stronger than those below fourth place and is ranked fourth among the ten strongest.] [Gu Yuena receives the following rewards: a breakthrough to God King, the Golden Dragon King's Seal Coordinates, and the ability to devour the Golden Dragon King through Unharmed Devouring.] [In ten minutes, the third of Douluo's ten strongest will be revealed.]
This news caught Asura, Destruction, Life, Evil, and Kindness completely off guard.
