Half Divine Set

"Tang San?"

Bo Saixi called out in confusion, then used her senses to investigate. After a moment, she shook her head. She found no signs of life within a kilometer radius. Her mind was filled with complicated thoughts as she walked toward the Sea God Trident.

"Call..."

Tang San was Yu Tianshuang's greatest enemy. To prevent him from becoming a god, she came to Sea God Island to fight him. Now, she had left Sea God Island to find an answer, and wasn't she also thinking of exchanging her life for that answer? As long as she knew the answer, whether she was killed by Yu Tianshuang or fulfilled her final duty by sacrificing herself for Tang San to open the Sea God Inheritance, it didn't really matter to her. Not long ago, Yu Tianshuang let her go so easily, and she was somewhat surprised.

She needed to confirm... but what if the result wasn't what she expected? And if Tang San really died... then what would become of her? Bo Saixi's delicate hand, reaching out towards the Sea God's Heart on the Sea God Trident, trembled slightly. Finally, she gritted her teeth and pressed it against the trident, and a burst of azure light flashed.

"So it was Shui Bing'er, the successor of the Ice God... This woman is the true successor of the Ice God... She's even more powerful than I imagined... in every sense of the word. What a pity... If Tang San and his father had revealed all their trump cards after Shui Bing'er activated her Half Divine Set, they wouldn't have been so utterly crushed..."

"In my memory, only the Spirit Hall possessed a complete set of Half Divine Set Soul Bones... I never imagined that the Ice God's successor also possessed one... Tang San's death was not unjust; he was simply too ignorant, thinking that because he possessed divine artifacts and Divine Skill, he didn't take his opponents seriously..."

The so-called Half Divine Set Soul Bones basically refer to complete sets of Soul Bone left behind by various gods. The biggest difference between these sets of Soul Bone and ordinary single Soul Bone is that their age is basically over 50,000 years. Moreover, once they are fully equipped, they will activate the Half Divine Set effect and have the power to use Divine Skill.

However, as far as she knew, only the Angel Temple possessed such a set of Soul Bone that could unlock Divine Skill even before becoming a god. Generally, god inheritors would elevate their Soul Bone to god-level status during the final step of receiving divine inheritance, and then unlock Divine Set. The biggest difference between the two was that a set of Soul Bone could possess the effects of Divine Set even before becoming a god, and the process of elevating them to god-level upon becoming a god was much easier than that of ordinary Soul Bone forming Divine Set Soul Bone.

"If Shui Bing'er had activated her Divine Set's Divine Skill and used the Sea God Trident to unleash her own Divine Skill, and Tang Hao had then used his Ring Detonation without reservation, countering with Divine Skill and supplemented by the Great Sumeru Hammer after the Ring Detonation, Shui Bing'er wouldn't have been able to kill them..." It's a pity Tang San was too arrogant. Thinking he possessed divine artifacts and Divine Skill, he underestimated this successor of the Ice God, resulting in his near-instant death. He can't blame anyone else...

"No wonder Yu Tianshuang insisted on persuading me to give up on unlocking Tang San's godhood inheritance. Even on the high seas, she wanted to fight me. As long as Tang San doesn't become a god, Shui Bing'er alone would be enough to give Tang San and his allies a run for their money. She also wields a divine artifact and possesses Half Divine Set. As long as Tang San doesn't become a god, winning this war is a foregone conclusion. And the Ice God Great Enshrined she cares about won't have to suffer the same fate as me..."

Thinking of this, Bo Saixi couldn't help but feel envious. If it were Tang Chen, would he be willing to go to such lengths to change his fate?

She didn't know, because she hadn't told him the truth when he was leaving... But didn't Yu Tianshuang also not know the truth? No... I can't keep thinking like this...

"But what should I do now? Go back to Sea God Island? Continue waiting for the next successor to the Sea God?" It seems there's only one answer, but for some reason, she's so resistant to it... The impact of just a few days has been too great. Every time she makes up her mind to make a choice, fate forces her to choose again...

Just as Bo Saixi was staring blankly at the Sea God Trident before her, lost in thought, a Charm voice rang out. "Great Enshrined Bo Saixi Sea God Island, hailed as the foremost being below the gods, you truly live up to your reputation! You are indeed a peerless beauty!"

"Hmph! Who are you, you lowly villain?!" Bo Saixi was startled. She hadn't noticed the voice at all. Even though she was in a daze and her vigilance was low, the voice was so close... If the voice hadn't made a sound, she wouldn't have noticed it at all. The thought sent a chill down her spine. After all, she was a level 99 Limit Douluo...

A graceful woman dressed in a black veil appeared, her dark eyes, as black as the night sky, curving upwards as she said ingratiatingly, "Senior Bo Saixi, you don't need to be so nervous. I am Tang San's ally. My name is Ye Yuxuan, and I am the current leader of the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"The Holy Spirit Cult?" Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi was initially puzzled by the unfamiliar term, then suddenly recalled what Yu Tianshuang had said on Sea God Island. Her tone immediately turned hostile. "You're from the Holy Spirit Cult? No wonder you've been hiding so secretively. Tang San's ally? What does that have to do with me? Leave now, I'm not in the mood to rid the people of this scourge!"

Ye Yuxuan took a step back as a gesture, then said, "Hehe... It seems you have quite a few misunderstandings about our Holy Spirit Cult Sect, senior. Actually, you don't need to be so prejudiced against us, nor do you need to look so hostile. I didn't come here to be killed by you, but only to offer you assistance!"

"Get lost!" Bo Saixi unleashed a burst of Soul Power, but Ye Yuxuan's body was like a bubble; the attack passed right through her. Seeing this, Bo Saixi frowned. Indeed... this Holy Spirit Cult member was incredibly strange. "How could I, the Great Enshrined of Sea God Island, need the help of a heretic like you? It seems this isn't your true form; you truly are a coward!"

"Senior... As the Great Enshrined of Sea God Island, didn't you come here to find Tang San and unlock the final Sea God Inheritance for him? This is your duty as the Great Enshrined of Sea God Island. Now that Tang San has been killed, you are unable to fulfill your responsibility. I came here to help you complete it!" Ye Yuxuan ignored Bo Saixi's extremely unfriendly attitude and just continued speaking to herself.

"..."

Seeing Bo Saixi remain silent, Ye Yuxuan continued in her Charm voice, "What? Don't you want to do this? You must know that Tang San is the only person in recent years to have completed the Sea God Nine Trials. Now he is only one step away from inheriting the Sea God Godhood. All you need to do is fulfill your duties as the Great Enshrined and sacrifice yourself to open the path of inheritance. Don't you want to do this now? The Lord Sea God has bestowed upon you supreme power and authority, but are you now going to betray the god you believe in?"
