It was clear that they didn't want me to pass the trial so easily.
However, since Bo Saixi was the Sea God's envoy, Tang San didn't think she was deliberately targeting him. Instead, he believed she was tempering him through this trial.
Therefore, Tang San didn't say much. After eating a few more of Oscar's recovery sausages, he sat cross-legged on the ground to restore his soul power.
However, when Tang San noticed the unique divine inheritance marks on Oscar and Ma Hongjun's foreheads, he was shocked.
"Oscar, Fatty, you two…"
Hearing this, Oscar and Ma Hongjun scratched their heads and smiled happily.
"Hehe, Little San, we haven't had the chance to tell you yet. While you were unconscious these past few days, we both received divine inheritances… the second-level gods, the Phoenix God and the God of Food."
Hearing Oscar's words, Tang San's expression became even more excited.
This was great! With this, didn't his two brothers also have the qualifications to become gods? When the time came to deal with Xiao Yu, wouldn't the chances of success be even greater with the help of new gods?!
For a moment, after learning this news, Tang San's spirits were lifted.
He felt more and more that the future was promising.
With three gods on his side, how could they not defeat Xiao Yu, who wasn't even a god yet?
"..."
Hall of Worship.
"Qian Daoliu, why have you called me here?"
Bibi Dong, holding her scepter, stepped into this place that she once found extremely repulsive.
But ever since losing the Rakshasa God's inheritance, Bibi Dong no longer felt that same sense of disgust.
"The time is almost here. I want Xue'er to return and inherit the godhood."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression froze.
She paused for a moment before asking, "Does Xue'er know about this?"
"No, she doesn't."
"Aren't you afraid she might refuse to inherit the godhood?"
"Hehe, this is the destiny of our Qian family. Xue'er will understand. The reason I called you here is mainly because, after I'm gone, I hope you can return the position of Pope to Xue'er once she becomes a god."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong fell silent for a moment before replying without hesitation, "Fine. Let Xue'er come find me after she becomes a god."
After saying this, Bibi Dong turned and left.
She couldn't wait to hand over the position of Pope and go find Xiao Yu.
For a moment, thinking of Xiao Yu and his grandeur, Bibi Dong felt herself losing control again.
"..."
Seeing Bibi Dong agree so readily, Qian Daoliu and the Golden Crocodile Douluo beside him were both shocked.
Since when had Bibi Dong become so reasonable?
Her easy compliance left Qian Daoliu's prepared arguments completely useless.
Afterward, Qian Renxue was recalled from the Heaven Dou Empire to Spirit Hall City to begin inheriting the Angel God's position.
As for the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, a substitute temporarily took her place, with Saros, the Thorny Poison Douluo, and the Snake Spear Douluo jointly controlling and guiding the situation.
Meanwhile, at the Blue Tyrant Academy, Xiao Yu continued to digest the divine power within him.
Xiao Yu's strength was rapidly increasing as he assimilated the divine power.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another year had passed.
Sea God Island.
After a year of cultivation, Tang San finally completed the final trial of enduring an hour under Bo Saixi's attacks.
When the Sea God in the divine realm saw that Tang San had finally completed the trial, he finally released his control over Bo Saixi's martial soul.
Damn it, in order to prevent Bo Saixi from going all out against Tang San, the Sea God had to personally step in and go easy on him.
Otherwise, how could Tang San possibly complete this trial against a fully powered Bo Saixi?!
Bo Saixi also sensed the Sea God's intervention, but she didn't say much about it.
After all, the Sea God's antics had become all too common in recent years, and Bo Saixi was used to it.
Now, all she needed to do was delay Tang San's ascension to godhood as much as possible.
In a calm tone, she continued, "Tang San, due to the particularity of the eighth trial, you need to return to the mainland. Therefore, I won't keep you here. Prepare yourself and leave when you're ready. Remember, you still only have five years for your eighth trial. If the time runs out, your divine trial will be considered failed."
After saying this, Bo Saixi left.
Tang San, after receiving the rewards for completing the trial, also received the exact details of his divine trial.
"Retrieve the divine artifact, the Sea God's Trident!"
"Please go to Xiao Yu and retrieve the Sea God's divine artifact, the Sea God's Trident."
"..."
When Tang San saw the description and requirements of this task, he felt as if the sky had fallen.
Who?!
Retrieve the Sea God's Trident from Xiao Yu?!
Wait, are you serious?!
You want me to retrieve the Sea God's Trident from my mortal enemy, Xiao Yu?
Are you sure you're not joking with me?
Or are you just messing with me?
And why is the Sea God's divine artifact in Xiao Yu's hands in the first place?!
The Rakshasa God's Scythe is with Bibi Dong, and the Sea God's Trident is with Xiao Yu.
Do you gods just casually discard your divine artifacts like that?!
Can't you take better care of your divine artifacts?!
How can you just let people use them so freely?
How am I supposed to retrieve it from Xiao Yu?!
Xiao Yu is a god, and I'm not even a god yet. How can I possibly defeat him?!
In the divine realm, the Sea God didn't know how to respond to Tang San's complaints. He couldn't very well say that Xiao Yu had openly taken the Sea God's Trident right in front of him. The Sea God had his pride, so he could only respond with silence, just like the Rakshasa God had done.
Seeing that neither the Sea God nor the Rakshasa God responded, Tang San felt his mentality crumbling.
These divine inheritances all seem so difficult…
However, before Tang San could react, the long-dormant Rakshasa God Trial refreshed.
"Go to Slaughter City and defeat the Slaughter King!"
"Trial completion reward: Cultivation advancement to Demigod!"
As soon as this new divine trial task appeared, Tang San's previously despondent eyes instantly lit up.
Advancement to Demigod?! That's great! Becoming a Demigod isn't bad. At the very least, it would give me some confidence to retrieve the Rakshasa God's Scythe.
As for the Slaughter King, isn't that my great-grandfather?! Perfect timing to go see him.
Before leaving the island, Tang San briefly summarized the current situation he was facing and made some plans for the next five years.
He didn't want to waste or shorten these five years. Since he had five years, he would make the most of them.
