Lei Yin knew that Sea God Island worshiped the Sea God.

Tang San was with the people of Sea God Island, holding the golden trident that appeared to be a divine weapon, and now a god was personally taking action through his body…

This god must be the Sea God!

Without a doubt, Tang San was the Sea God's successor!

But could a god personally take action through the body of a successor? This made Lei Yin's mind a bit confused.

His original guess was that Amon had cultivated Tang San, sent him to Sea God Island to inherit the god position, and then prepared to do something during the inheritance process…

But this "divine descent" disrupted his guess. If a god could personally take action and would always pay attention to their successor, then could Amon still succeed?

In Lei Yin's impression, Amon was strange, mysterious, and powerful, but ultimately still within the scope of a "human." He didn't think Amon could deal with a "god."

If a god would pay attention to Tang San even at ordinary times like now, then they would definitely be watching personally during the inheritance… Even Amon wouldn't be able to do anything, right?

Could it be that his sister's death had nothing to do with Amon, and he didn't tamper with anything during the inheritance?

Or was Amon really so powerful that he could do something to their successor under the eyes of a god?

Or perhaps… the inheritance between gods was different?

Was Tang San really cultivated by Amon? Could it be that he was chosen by the Sea God himself and became the Sea God's successor, which was why he was able to grow so quickly, and it actually had nothing to do with Amon?

In that instant, a thousand thoughts flashed through Lei Yin's mind, various ideas rising and falling, and his heart was in turmoil.

"Tang San" glanced at Lei Yin and said softly, "Being distracted in battle is not a good habit… young man."

Lei Yin's pupils shrank, and the Sea God's next attack arrived.

"Golden Thirteen Halberds, Third Form, Once Gone, Never Returned."

The trident in "Tang San's" hand rotated in the air, bringing up a golden light, and shot out, instantly bombarding Lei Yin in the illusory and distorted light and shadow.

A desperate, explosive skill… A large amount of information Emerge in Tang San's consciousness, and he constantly imprinted it in his mind through mental power, lest he miss even a fraction.

In a roaring explosion, Lei Yin's body suddenly exploded, turning into countless lightning bolts. Intense golden light erupted in the air, clearing the sky.

Countless light spots scattered in the air, gradually fading, and then disappearing.

The golden light converged, and the trident reappeared in "Tang San's" hand, turning black again.

The Sea God's radiance gradually faded, and a majestic but gradually weakening voice sounded in Tang San's mind:

"Do you remember? Master these three forms, and you will be invincible below the god level."

Tang San asked in his heart, "When can I learn the remaining ten forms?"

"Don't be too greedy, wait until the day you become a god. Also, that person just now is not dead; what was destroyed was just a clone."

The Sea God's voice slowly faded away.

"What? A clone?" Tang San asked anxiously, "Then where is his real body?"

The Sea God did not answer him again.

… … … …

In the distant sky, Lei Yin looked at the direction where the golden light disappeared with lingering fear.

Under Amon's influence, he naturally had a great interest in skills like "avatars." What he used just now was his self-created soul skill, "Lightning Clone."

When the Sea God took over Tang San's body, he had already quietly left while retreating into the thunderclouds, leaving only a Lightning Clone condensed with a large amount of electricity in place, and then remotely controlling it using "Mind Net."

Since Lei Yin's Lightning Clone was condensed from lightning, it was basically no different from him after using the "Weapon Soul Avatar" to elementalize, making it difficult to distinguish. Therefore, even the Sea God was deceived for a while, and only realized it after dispersing the clone at the end.

Lei Yin saw clearly the soul skills that the Sea God used through Tang San's body, and the terrifying power made him feel frightened.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Fortunately, I kept a trick up my sleeve. If I had stayed to fight head-on, I'm afraid I would have died… Avatars are really useful."

Lei Yin did not stay long, turning into a ray of lightning and shooting towards the direction of Night City.

Although he avoided the damage with a clone in the end, the injuries he suffered in the previous battle with Tang San were real, and he needed to go back quickly to receive treatment.

… … … …

Tang San slowly landed on the ship, and Xiao Wu opened her arms, giving him a hug.

"Wow, Brother San, you're so amazing… You actually killed that Lei Yin," Ma Hongjun praised with a smile.

Dai Mubai said, "Little San, well done, we've eliminated a major enemy!"

Tang San patted Xiao Wu's head, left her embrace, and said with a heavy expression:

"He's not dead yet; that was just a clone. Moreover, it wasn't me who defeated him; it was the Sea God… The Sea God took action through my body."

"However, if I encounter him again, I am more than 70% confident that I can defeat him on my own… In the end, the Sea God passed on three divine skills to me, which can be used for both offense and defense, and their power is extraordinary."

"Ah? He's not dead yet?" Ning Rongrong's face showed disappointment, and there were still soul power fluctuations emanating from her body.

She was the only one of the Shrek Seven Devils besides Tang San who contributed to this battle, constantly buffing Tang San and Sea Dragon Douluo.

Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun were simply unable to intervene in this level of battle because their own soul power levels were relatively low.

As for Oscar, it was because the battle happened a bit suddenly, and he didn't have time to stuff his big sausage into Tang San's mouth.

Xiao Wu… Xiao Wu watched the whole show.

"Now that the Steel Sea Dragon has been hunted, our next journey can be bolder. Some sea soul beasts that were not originally in the plan can also be hunted," Sea Dragon Douluo said to Tang San with some respect.

"What do you mean by that?" Oscar asked with some confusion.

Sea Dragon Douluo picked up his clothes from the deck, put them on, and said in a steady tone:

"Unlike the Deep Sea Demon Whale King alone, the Steel Sea Dragon actually ruled many sea areas.

"In addition to its own habitat, there is also a Royal Sea Dragon clan and two or three other types of 100,000-year sea soul beasts, which are also its territory."

These sea soul beasts, led by the Steel Sea Dragon, formed a sea soul beast force…

If we attack other sea soul beasts, the Steel Sea Dragon's speed and perception would allow it to quickly arrive and provide support.

So, the best way to deal with them is to directly ambush the Steel Sea Dragon… Because other sea soul beasts don't have such strong perception and might not be able to support it in time.

Dai Mubai was somewhat puzzled: "Then what's the point of its rule? As the leader, it doesn't seem to enjoy any benefits from ruling. Even if it's attacked, no one comes to rescue it."

Sea Dragon Douluo said with a slightly strange expression: "The other several hundred-thousand-year sea soul beasts are its… well, partners."

"Oh… I see." Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun exchanged glances, all with lewd smiles on their faces.

Ning Rongrong stepped on Oscar's foot, her tone revealing a hint of danger:

"You're not allowed to have any extra thoughts. If you dare to learn any bad habits, this old lady will cut off your big sausage!"

Oscar's expression froze, and he said with a sheepish smile:

"Rongrong, how could I have any extra thoughts? My heart is all yours!"

"It better be." Ning Rongrong nodded.

Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai huddled together, laughing even more lewdly, until Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing glanced at them, and they each restrained their expressions, putting on a serious and solemn look.

… … … …

Spirit Hall City, on the street.

More than three years have passed since the soul beast war. With the addition of controlling the Heaven Dou Empire, Spirit Hall City has recovered somewhat. Although it still hasn't reached its former prosperity, it's no longer deserted.

"Caw…" A crow with a white circle around its right eye fluttered its wings and landed on the shoulder of a beautiful woman.

Hu Liena reached out her hand, teasing the crow.

The crow didn't seem to like it very much, giving her a slightly contemptuous look.

"That aloof gaze is just like your master's." A trace of remembrance appeared on Hu Liena's face. Even though four years had passed, she still couldn't forget the man who protected her in the City of Slaughter.

She didn't participate in the Heaven Dou City operation, so she still didn't know that "Gehrman" was still alive. Bibi Dong also didn't tell her this news.

Yan and Xie Yue followed behind Hu Liena.

Yan's face showed a sullen expression, "Nana is still thinking about that person… Tell me, how can I replace his position in Nana's heart?"

Xie Yue shook his head: "The light in the darkness is always beautiful, especially since it's the only attachment in that hellish place…"

Yan's face immediately collapsed, and he sighed, "Maybe I should have gone in with her at that time."

Xie Yue smiled: "If that were the case, the ending would probably be different."

"You think so too?"

"No, I mean, if you had gone with her, then the result now would be that you would be dead, and he would be alive… Maybe Nana wouldn't have been able to come out alive either."

Xie Yue's answer greatly hit Yan.

A cold and glamorous woman with golden hair and angular features, full of heroic spirit, walked towards them.

Xie Yue and Yan's expressions couldn't help but change, and a faint hostility appeared in their eyes.

The one who came was Qian Renxue, the Grand Elder's granddaughter!

Hu Liena, who had already been listed as a Saintess, was almost certain to become the next Pope, but her sudden emergence made this matter uncertain.

Her cultivation talent was simply terrifyingly high. In just a few years, she had already reached the level of a Titled Douluo.

There were already many rumors in the Spirit Hall that she would inherit the Spirit Empire.

"So, you three are here… Elder Sister wants you to go to Heaven Dou City to help deal with some administrative affairs." Approaching them, Qian Renxue said.

"What about you?" Yan said with a somewhat cold tone.

Qian Renxue smiled faintly:

"I don't care about these… There's no need to look at me with such a hostile gaze… You can rest assured that the position of the next Pope of the Spirit Empire belongs to Hu Liena."

Xie Yue's brow twitched: "Do you think we'll believe that? The Pope and the throne are combined into one, concentrating great power in one person. Who wouldn't be tempted? If that position is left to Nana, then what about you?"

Qian Renxue smiled and did not answer…

…Naturally, to become the god you believe in, gathering great power in myself!

She thought to herself.

Hu Liena smiled and said, "Is this Teacher's intention? Then we'll set off for Heaven Dou City."

She walked past Qian Renxue, paused, and then turned her head to remind Xie Yue and Yan, who were still standing in place:

"What are you two still dawdling about? Don't keep Teacher waiting too long."

Yan and Xie Yue quickly followed.

After getting away from Qian Renxue, Yan asked in confusion: "Nana, you don't seem to care about this?"

Hu Liena smiled: "I'm already very satisfied to have what I have today. Teacher has given us enough… No matter what decision she makes, I won't have any complaints and will obey.

"In any case, I will dedicate my life to the Spirit Hall… This is something I had already decided long ago.

"What, don't you think so too? Yan…"

"No, that's not what I meant… It's just a pity that things were clearly already decided, but now there's been a twist."

"Don't think about unnecessary things. Just do what you're supposed to do…" Hu Liena replied.

The crow standing on Hu Liena's shoulder turned its head, its dark pupils reflecting the shadow of Qian Renxue, who had already moved away.

Just now, it felt a trace of divine power fluctuations from Qian Renxue… Although it was very weak, it was indeed pure divine power.

It raised its wings and stroked its right eye socket with its feathers, a strange light flowing in its eyes.

Interesting…

Qian Renxue frowned slightly. Just now, she seemed to feel some kind of malice.

Looking around, she didn't find anything suspicious, so she thought it was her imagination and put it behind her.
