Chapter 143: Shark Girl Xiao bai

As Neptune stepped out of the Seagod Hall, he was immediately greeted by the warmth of the sun, enveloping his entire body in a comforting embrace. The sunlight outside was far brighter than within the hall, causing him to instinctively squint for a moment before quickly adjusting to the sudden change in brightness.

"Greetings, my lord."

Seven voices spoke in unison.

The Seagod's Seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo all kneeled on one knee, offering their respects to Neptune. He understood that their reverence was not necessarily directed at him but rather at the Seagod's Trident in his hands, as their gazes were mostly locked onto its dark, imposing form, eyes filled with admiration and awe.

"There's no need for such formalities. I have yet to fully inherit the Seagod's position and cannot accept such grand gestures." Neptune raised his hand slightly, and an overwhelming surge of power gently lifted the seven kneeling figures to their feet.

Feeling this vast and boundless power, akin to standing before the endless ocean itself, the seven Guardian Douluo were secretly astonished. In this man before them, they sensed a presence far more formidable than even the Grand Priestess. Was it an illusion, or were they mistakenly attributing his Seagod's divine power as his own?

Although they were confused, the leading Sea Dragon Douluo maintained his composure and spoke solemnly, "My lord, you have officially begun inheriting the Seagod's divine position and have gained the recognition of the Seagod's Trident. The Seagod is the ruler of the seas, and as his subordinates, it is only natural for us to bow before his chosen heir."

Seeing their sincerity, Neptune knew that if he continued insisting on equality, it would only make them uncomfortable. He decided not to dwell on the matter further.

Shortly after, the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo escorted Neptune down the Seagod Mountain, only stopping at the foot of the mountain to watch as he stepped onto the waves and departed.

"The next time he returns, it will likely be for the final trial…" Sea Enchantress Douluo murmured as she watched his figure disappear into the horizon.

"Yes," Sea Horse Douluo sighed.

The other five Guardian Douluo remained silent, their eyes filled with mixed emotions.

"The birth of a new Seagod should be a cause for great celebration. But knowing that the final trial requires the Grand Priestess to sacrifice her life… I just…" Sea Maiden Douluo's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes reddened.

"..."

The remaining Guardian Douluo fell into silence.

For the past several months, their hearts had been deeply conflicted. On one hand, they were overjoyed that a new Seagod was about to be born, ensuring the ocean's future prosperity and eliminating the looming crisis that had long threatened them.

On the other hand, those who knew the truth felt an unbearable weight in their hearts the final trial required the Grand Priestess to sacrifice herself. The thought of losing the one who had guided and protected them for so long made them wish that Neptune would fail instead.

Faith and loyalty clashed with deep gratitude and sorrow, leaving them in anguish.

At that moment, Neptune had already arrived at the island's outermost edge. He stepped onto the soft silver sands, gazing at the undulating waves of the sea. Without hesitation, he released his aura, summoning his ride.

The journey from Seagod Island to the mainland was long. While he could fly across the ocean using his own power, why go through such an exhausting ordeal when there was an easier way? Crossing the sea on foot was no simple task.

A short while later, the distant ocean suddenly churned.

The waves surged as a massive white figure emerged, swiftly making its way toward Neptune. Within a few moments, it had reached the shallows near the shore. Then, with astonishing agility, the enormous creature leapt out of the water.

As it soared through the air, its sleek, streamlined body shook off countless droplets of seawater, which shimmered brilliantly under the sunlight!

A dazzling gray blue radiance enveloped its perfect form, and to Neptune's surprise its body rapidly shrank within this brilliant glow.

Finally, a tall, graceful young woman landed lightly before Neptune.

This magic white shark, upon transforming, turned into a stunning female nearly the same height as Neptune. Unlike ordinary women of her stature, whose height might seem awkward, her figure was absolutely perfect.

She wore a tight fitting white outfit, accentuating her curves with a figure that was both sensual and athletic. Her long, gray blue hair cascaded down her back, reaching all the way to the ground.

Her eyes shimmered with the same gray blue hue, her skin was pale yet glowing faintly with a bluish tint, and her facial features were sharp yet beautifully defined, giving her an exotic and mesmerizing allure.

Seeing her, Neptune smiled.

After all, men instinctively appreciate beauty, and a woman with such a uniquely captivating appearance possessed an undeniable allure.

The girl before him was none other than the Demon Spirit Great White Shark King Xiao bai.

She had barely set foot on land before she eagerly asked, "Lord Ni! I sensed the phenomenon earlier did you successfully draw the Seagod's Trident?"

Hearing her call him "Lord Ni", Neptune showed no reaction, as he had grown used to it over time.

During his trials, he had gotten to know many people on Seagod Island. It all started with Sea Enchantress Douluo, and eventually, almost everyone on the island began calling him 'Lord Ni' as if his last name was Ni.

At first, he protested, but when he realized that they completely ignored his objections and even doubled down, he simply let it be.

'Fine. Lord Ni it is.'

It was just a name, after all. If he truly became the Seagod, they would probably change it to "Seagod Lord" anyway.

Neptune nodded and said, "Yes, I successfully drew the Seagod's Trident not long ago and completed the Seventh Trial."

"But… where is the Seagod's Trident?" Xiao bai looked around, noticing that his hands were empty. Her brow furrowed as she searched for the missing divine weapon, glancing left and right but finding nothing.

"Where did you hide it?" she demanded, stepping forward without hesitation and starting to pat down his body as if she had every right to search him.

"You really think I could hide something that big there?" Neptune grabbed her hand just before she reached a particularly private area, shooting a glare at the bold shark girl who was clearly taking advantage of the situation.

With his free hand, he touched his forehead with two fingers and said, "It's right here."

As he spoke, a golden trident symbol on his forehead lit up.

A beam of golden light shot out, landing perfectly in his palm. The moment he gripped it, the dark, ominous Seagod's Trident materialized once more in his hand.

Bo Saixi had mentioned that the Seagod's Trident couldn't be stored in soul tools, but after communicating with the divine weapon, Neptune discovered that he could store it inside the trident shaped imprint on his forehead an unexpected but welcome surprise.

As for why Tang San couldn't do this in the original timeline?

Neptune speculated that it was due to the difference in soul power levels and his greater compatibility with the Seagod's position.

Moreover, in the original story, Tang San was eventually able to store the Seagod's Trident later on. After all, what kind of god couldn't even summon and retract their own divine weapon at will?
