"I-it's the Sea God's Nine Trials!!"
Bo Saixi looked at the Heavenly Screen and cried out in an instant.
This time, her eyes were full of shock.
At the same time, Bo Saixi felt both excitement and a measure of inner conflict.
She was excited because, as the Sea God's High Priestess, she had finally seen the appearance of the Sea God's successor, whom she had waited for all her life. She could finally fulfill her mission.
Yet her personal feelings left her conflicted. She did not want to leave this world just yet; she still wanted to wait on Sea God Island for Tang Chen's return...
As if responding to Bo Saixi's conjecture, the revelations on the Heavenly Screen continued to change.
[The changes were not over. The entire Sea God Island seemed to tremble and shake along with the red light shooting into the sky from the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.]
[Immediately afterward, as if answering the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, the other six Sacred Pillars scattered across Sea God Island simultaneously erupted with enormous pillars of blood-red light.]
[Now, both Sea Horse Douluo at the scene and the other Sacred Pillar Guardians rushing over were somewhat at a loss, unable to understand what was happening.]
{Note: "Sacred Pillar" has two meanings. One is the Sacred Pillar itself, the pillar that can initiate trials; the other refers to the Sacred Pillar Guardians, such as Sea Dragon Douluo and the others. You can tell which meaning applies from the context. I'm explaining this here to prevent anyone from thinking I made a mistake.}
[The people of Sea God Island all cried out in astonishment, calling it a miracle of the Sea God, and began to prostrate themselves in worship.]
[Only I, as the High Priestess of Sea God Island, understood what it meant.]
[To confirm my suspicions, I quickened my pace toward the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.]
[At that moment, I felt both excited and nervous.]
[Meanwhile, the seven pillars of blood-red light converged at a single point above the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.]
[The next instant, the blood-red faded, and a beam of golden light, dazzling beyond compare, descended from the heavens at the point where the pillars had converged.]
[The golden light was filled with the majesty and grandeur of kingly power. The instant it shone down, it dyed everything on Sea God Island gold.]
[The people who had been worshipping froze where they stood, awestruck by the manifestation of the Sea God's miracle.]
[The other Sacred Pillar Guardians who had been hurrying over, myself included, stopped in our tracks and simply gazed at that golden light.]
[It was as though everything had entered a state of absolute stillness at that moment, with only that brilliantly radiant light descending from the heavens like the central point between sea and sky!]
In the real world, the people of the Douluo Continent watched, dumbstruck.
This was their first time witnessing the mighty power of a god, though the vast majority still believed it was the so-called Top-Level Red Trial.
A few clever people, however, considered Bo Saixi's reaction on the Heavenly Screen and arrived at an even bolder conjecture.
Thus, whether they saw only the surface or thought more deeply, everyone at that moment looked forward to what would happen next.
It's finally here. At the Crystal Orchid Grand Hotel, Su Ming also watched the Heavenly Screen with tremendous anticipation.
Of course, what he anticipated was the reaction when the world learned that this was the Sea God's Nine Trials, and how much Vow Power it would provide for him to harvest.
Qian Daoliu's monologue at the beginning had served to show the world the Heavenly Screen's authenticity and authority, which was why it had mostly recounted the past.
Now that the Heavenly Screen's authenticity, authority, and value had been established, he could begin adding a plot of his own invention to Bo Saixi's personal monologue and harvest more Vow Power from all living beings.
Of course, although it was fabricated, the timeline, motives, and the like were all utterly flawless.
After the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, everyone agreed to reunite in five years.
That period happened to be a suitable point in time for him to set foot on Sea God Island.
Su Ming was determined to claim both the Sea God Godhood and the Asura God's godhood.
After all, these were opportunities native to the Douluo Plane, and why turn down a free chance to become a god?
In the early and middle stages, he would first use the inherited godhoods to build up his strength. Then, in the later stages, he would prove his own Dao...
Su Ming had long since mapped out his future path of growth and his ultimate achievements.
When the time came for his own personal monologue to appear, it would undoubtedly be the craziest, most outrageous Vow Power harvest of all.
As for the monologues of his alternate identities ranked below his own, or those of figures native to Douluo, they would not only harvest their respective Vow Power but also form a script that corroborated itself from every angle and was logically consistent!
Inheriting the Sea God's Nine Trials is only an appetizer. All living beings on the Douluo Continent had better prepare themselves to welcome a golden age!!
In Su Ming's plan, a golden age would certainly not be left with only those few god-level combatants.
But personal monologues that ran too long were somewhat troublesome, so Su Ming had made the appropriate arrangements from the very beginning.
The condition for appearing in the personal monologue section was that one had to be alive in the present age, and the time limit for projecting events was within a hundred years.
Thus, it was only natural that more god-level powerhouses would be born in the golden age he would one day usher in with his own hands.
What Su Ming intended to usher in was not a false elevation of the world like the one at the end of the Dragon King era, but a golden age in the truest sense!!
Only then would he have the foundation to swallow up other planes, and even the Divine Realm!
[The golden light had only ever had one destination: the young man who had come from overseas to take the trial.]
[Because I did not arrive in time, I still did not know the precise details of everything that happened then.]
[But the events that followed, like those just described, were all recounted to me vividly by Sea Horse Douluo himself.]
[And since I had just experienced the miracle that covered all of Sea God Island, and knew certain secrets myself, I could more or less imagine it all in greater detail and with greater clarity.]
[Even so, I could not help feeling some regret. After all, as the Sea God's High Priestess, I would have preferred to witness it all with my own eyes.]
"Could it be the legendary Sea God's Nine Trials?! Has the Sea God's successor finally appeared?!"
Ning Fengzhi spoke with a mixture of shock and uncertainty, frightened even by his own bold deduction.
But if that were not the reason, how could it have caused such an extraordinary commotion? How could it have made Bo Saixi, the High Priestess of Sea God Island, so excited?
Judging by what the Heavenly Screen had revealed, only a miracle could have accomplished that.
Although the Bo Saixi in the monologue had not witnessed it from the very first moment, they had, in a sense, seen it for themselves with the Heavenly Screen's help.
After all, their experience with Qian Daoliu's earlier monologue had made everyone realize that the images the Heavenly Screen revealed to accompany the words were undoubtedly real, and naturally, the sensations were undoubtedly real as well.
