["Don't make things difficult for Sea Horse Douluo. After all, this is his first time seeing it too. Or, to be more precise, this is the first time such a trial has appeared since Sea God Island came into existence!"]
["These aren't the Top-Level Nine Trials, but the true Sea God's Nine Trials!"]
["This means that, from this moment on, you will be Lord Sea God's successor in this world!"]
[Faced with what had happened to the boy, Sea Horse Douluo was stunned, standing on the spot like a statue.]
[And when the boy questioned him, Sea Horse Douluo was utterly unable to answer.]
[Fortunately, I arrived at that moment and explained the trials the boy had received in Sea Horse Douluo's place.]
[Looking at the trident mark shining with brilliant golden light on the boy's forehead, I felt reassured and extraordinarily excited.]
[At the same time, when Sea Horse Douluo blamed himself for failing to carry out Lord Sea God's guidance properly, I did not reproach him and offered an explanation.]
[The Sea God's successor, whom countless generations of high priests had awaited for over ten thousand years, had finally appeared!]
"I actually became the Sacred Pillar who guided Lord Sea God's successor?!" Sea Horse Douluo said with boundless excitement as he watched the Heavenly Screen.
At that moment, Sea Horse Douluo felt so happy he could die.
The Seven Sacred Pillars were naturally the Sea God's most loyal believers. To personally guide the Sea God's successor was, for them, surely the greatest blessing of their lives.
Watching the Heavenly Screen, Sea Witch Douluo couldn't help growing envious. "That guy Sea Horse really is lucky~"
Sea Witch Douluo was not human. She belonged to the Mermaid Clan, making her half human and half Soul Beast.
Her clan was also one of the races most devoted to the Sea God.
It was worth mentioning that the Mermaid Clan to which Sea Witch Douluo belonged and the clan of the Sea Soul Beast Sea Princess were two entirely different races.
They merely looked somewhat alike. Their internal clan structures, habits, habitats, cultivation methods, and many other aspects were vastly different.
"That guy Sea Horse really is lucky," Sea Ghost Douluo said with some jealousy.
Of course he was lucky. Who told the Sea God's successor to make Seahorse City the first city he reached after coming to Sea God Island?
For that very reason, a few Sacred Pillars began to harbor ideas of their own.
For example, when the future Sea God's successor landed on the island, they could receive him ahead of time and claim the honor for themselves.
Inside the Sea God Hall on Sea God Island, Bo Saixi also began to look forward to what came next. "Having the fortune to glimpse the future isn't such a bad thing. Lord Sea God, what kind of person is the successor you chose?!"
It was indeed a blessing. Compared with Qian Daoliu, whose future had not been revealed in greater detail, Bo Saixi could see more of her own future and naturally make the corresponding preparations in advance.
Although Bo Saixi deeply wanted to see whether Tang Chen would come to Sea God Island to find her in the future, and whether the two of them would ultimately end up together,
when it came to matters of right and wrong, Bo Saixi could still see clearly.
Her first identity was the high priest of Sea God Island; only after that should she concern herself with her personal feelings.
As for the complicated, conflicted feelings she had experienced before, they were only human nature.
Besides the people on Sea God Island, who were happy and excited at the appearance of the Sea God's successor, the continent was in an even greater uproar.
"He really is the Sea God's successor, and he's from our continent too!!" Ning Fengzhi hadn't expected the deduction he had just made to be confirmed so quickly.
Amid his shock, Ning Fengzhi's old thoughts of investing instantly surfaced.
Although the Heavenly Screen hasn't revealed the exact timeline, I can still make a rough deduction. In other words, the boy who inherited the Sea God's Nine Trials can only be even younger right now!!
If I can find him ahead of time, invest in him, and nurture him, wouldn't I be winning over and befriending a future god?
If he could join my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, not only could the sect reach new heights and continue to flourish, but even the shackles on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul could be broken!
The more Ning Fengzhi thought about it, the more excited he became. He was ready.
The moment the Heavenly Screen revealed the identity of the boy who had inherited the Sea God's Nine Trials, Ning Fengzhi intended to send out everyone in the sect to find him as quickly as possible.
Ning Fengzhi was not the only one with such thoughts. The people in power within the major forces across the entire Douluo Continent could be said to have the same idea.
Who wouldn't want to win over a future god ahead of time?
As for why no one worried whether the boy could complete all the trials, or whether he would ultimately fail to become a god and send their investment down the drain-
if someone that timid really had become the head of a major force, he might as well find a block of tofu and smash his head against it.
Moreover, there was another important point: merely being able to initiate the Sea God's Nine Trials and become a god's successor was already proof of his monstrous aptitude.
Suotuo City, Crystal Orchid Grand Hotel.
"Brother, the person who inherited the Sea God's Nine Trials looks a lot like you from behind..." Xiao Wu tugged at Su Ming's sleeve and voiced her guess, a hint of excitement showing on her face.
Sure enough, Xiao Wu recognized me after all. Su Ming had expected Xiao Wu to be so observant.
To heighten the anticipation and concentrate the harvest of Vow Power, the revelations on the Heavenly Screen so far had not exposed his name or true appearance as the one who had inherited the Sea God's Nine Trials.
Moreover, the version of himself on the Heavenly Screen was from over two years later. Though that seemed like a short time, he was still growing, and his build would change considerably.
Even so, those who were very familiar with him could still recognize traces of him.
For example, Xiao Wu at his side, and his little brother Tang San.
"I'd like to inherit the Sea God's Nine Trials too," Su Ming said at that moment, his face full of anticipation.
He hadn't expected to keep it hidden for long. Once a little more of Bo Saixi's monologue was revealed, his future self would be exposed.
But for now, to better harvest Vow Power, he certainly had to keep up appearances.
"I think that person is you in the future, Brother," Xiao Wu said firmly after comparing them again.
In another suite, Tang San thought pensively, That figure, that appearance... he looks like Brother Ming!
Could the one who inherited the Sea God's Nine Trials really be Brother Ming in the future?!
As that bold idea arose, Tang San began to feel happy for Su Ming.
[Looking at the boy who had inherited the Sea God's Nine Trials, I was happy. I had waited for over a hundred years and finally met him in my declining years.]
[After calming my emotions, I finally asked him about his origins.]
