"Perhaps only by meeting the High Priest in person can we know what's really going on."
Chen Qingling's eyes brightened. "No need to undergo the trials?"
The Hippocampus Douluo was silent for a few seconds. "Special circumstances, handled specially. Consider it a one-time exception for you, Miss."
"Ah? Miss?"
Chen Qingling's eyes showed slight confusion. She couldn't quite process this.
Wasn't she just going to verify what the trial was?
In the blink of an eye, the Hippocampus Douluo's way of addressing her had changed, and the tone was very polite.
"Since the appearance of Sea God Island until now, this is the first time such a situation has occurred. What you are to endure is the Nine Trials of the Sea God."
The voice came from afar and grew nearer. When the last word reached Chen Qingling and Zhu Zhuqing, a red light dot in the distance slowly expanded.
The next moment, another figure appeared in front of the Hippocampus Holy Pillar.
She was about 1.78 meters tall, cloaked in a deep red robe, with silver-white hair flowing down her back.
Her delicate face looked no older than thirty. Her beauty came more from her aura—noble, elegant, and warm.
In her right hand, she held a three-meter-long scepter, golden in color, like the golden light that had appeared in the sky moments ago.
The scepter was engraved with demon runes, and the top had a diamond-shaped protrusion like a spearhead.
Five inches below the spear tip was a diamond-shaped golden gem.
If judged solely by her appearance, she was a rare beauty; but her aura was incomparable to anyone.
Most astonishing were her pale purple eyes, full of kindness and worldly experience, as if she had witnessed eternal ages.
"You… you…"
Seeing this suddenly appearing person, whose hair was also silver like hers, Chen Qingling's heart surged with excitement.
She had come!
Truly come!
Day and night, Chen Qingling had waited for this moment, though she had lost count of the days and nights.
Thinking of this, her eyes reddened, and tears slightly welled.
A daughter's tears do not fall easily, only when grief truly strikes.
The Hippocampus Douluo slightly bowed. "Greetings, High Priest."
Poseidon nodded slightly, eyes fixed on Chen Qingling.
"Young one, I have waited over a hundred years, and finally in my waning years I see you. Can you tell me your origins?"
Facing Poseidon's question, Chen Qingling's breathing grew rapid, her heart racing.
Zhu Zhuqing noticed her unusual reaction, glanced at Chen Qingling, then at Poseidon.
She immediately realized that the two women's hair colors were almost identical.
Suddenly, a bold thought flashed through Zhuqing's mind.
Qingling's mother… could it really be her?
"I… I am Chen Qingling. I've lived in the Star Dou Forest, and only left at age twelve, awakening my Martial Soul, the Bright Goddess Butterfly."
"My purpose… is not only to complete the Sea God trials, but also to see you once."
At this, both the Hippocampus Douluo and Poseidon froze.
What had they just heard?Awakened her Martial Soul at twelve?
That's… far too late!
Yet, considering her age and soul power, they fell silent.
Such talent was truly unparalleled!
Truly terrifying!
Poseidon drew a deep breath, brow furrowed. "See me once? Why do you wish to see me?"
"I want… to know… if… you are my mother."
Poseidon: ???
She had considered all sorts of reasons, but never that she wanted to know if she was her mother.
Impossible!
I have always been on Sea God Island, remained chaste, so how could I have a child?
The atmosphere grew tense. Chen Qingling anxiously looked at Poseidon, hoping for an answer.
Poseidon shook her head. "Sorry, I am not your mother."
"I have always been on Sea God Island, without family."
One sentence crushed Chen Qingling's excited heart.
Her heart sank!
Chen Qingling's nose tingled, her eyes wet.
Even with mental preparation, hearing Poseidon's words still pained her deeply.
Poseidon was not her mother.
One possibility eliminated.
Then only the current Pope of the Spirit Hall remained unknown.
As for other clues, there were none.
Seeing Qingling's gloom, Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward, held her hand, and comforted her.
"Qingling, don't be sad or disheartened. I believe you'll find your mother."
"Mm…"
Seeing Qingling's goal, Poseidon's gaze softened. She strode forward, lightly caressing Qingling's hair, showing none of the High Priest's airs.
"Child, don't cry."
"Though I don't know who your mother is, I have a method that may help you find her."
Chen Qingling's heart lifted, hope rekindled. She looked up at Poseidon.
"What method?" she asked urgently.
"Through the Nine Trials of the Sea God, face the gods directly. There is nothing in this world a god does not know."
"Good!"
"Isn't that just the Nine Trials of the Sea God? I can definitely pass!"
Poseidon frowned. "This is not an ordinary trial. This is a god's trial. Confidence is good, but do not be overconfident."
"All right, that's all I have to say."
"Chen Qingling, remember this: from now on, Sea God Island is open to you and your friends. No one may stop you."
"If you need anything, just ask the people of Sea God Island. They will assist you fully."
"The rest is up to you." Poseidon said to the Hippocampus Douluo.
"Yes, High Priest."
At that moment, a figure flew from afar—it was Tang Chen, rescued by Tang Hao and his group.
"Didn't expect this generation to produce a successor of the gods."
"Tang Chen, why are you here?"
"Hahaha, I was curious. So I came." Tang Chen said boldly, his gaze fixed on Qingling.
"You are Chen Qingling?"
Noticing Tang Chen's sharp gaze, Chen Qingling nodded slightly. "Yes, it's me. What's the matter?"
For some reason, she felt a familiar aura from this man.
Tang Chen sized her up. "No wonder the Sea God chose you. You are extraordinary. No wonder my great-grandson and grandson suffered so much."
"You are…"
"Tang Chen, the Ancestor of Haotian Sect."
Upon hearing his surname Tang and affiliation, Chen Qingling realized.
"You are here to avenge Tang San and his father?"
Though unclear on the details, Poseidon protected Chen Qingling.
"Tang Chen, she is the Sea God's successor. You may not touch her."
Tang Chen laughed toward the sky. "Hahaha, how could I harm a junior? They should handle these matters themselves."
Next, Chen Qingling said something astonishing.
"Well… I never said I wanted to become the Sea God's successor."
