Boom!
A sacred golden light descended upon the Seahorse Holy Pillar.
A white-haired woman, holding a purple-gold scepter, slowly emerged from the golden light.
With each step she took, she emanated an immensely powerful aura that trembled in the air!
Lan's pupils constricted as she watched Poseidon, who was walking through the air.
Could this white-haired woman's aura be so terrifying?
A Titled Douluo... or even stronger!?
Poseidon scanned the surroundings, finally landing her gaze on Lan.
"Young man, what's your name?"
Poseidon said softly.
"Lan."
"Lan... what's your purpose in coming to Sea God Island?"
"To become stronger."
Lan said without hesitation.
Poseidon nodded, then glanced at the colorful card in front of the Seahorse Sacred Pillar and whispered, "Your assessment is unprecedented, personally tailored for you by Lord Poseidon."
"And I will be the judge of your trial. During the trial, you are free to withdraw from the test.
This is a right granted to you by Lord Poseidon."
Hearing Poseidon's words,Seahorse Douluo and Xiaobai were instantly overwhelmed!
The fact that Lord Poseidon personally tailored the test for Lan was already shocking.
Furthermore, Lan even had the ability to withdraw midway!
This was unprecedented.
Every spirit master participating in the Seahorse Test must complete it within the prescribed timeframe, or face death.
This has been an unchanging rule for millennia!
After all, passing the test brings lavish rewards: increased spirit power levels, spirit ring age, and even divinely bestowed spirit rings!
With rewards comes punishment.
Failure to complete the test means certain death.
And yet Lord Poseidon actually granted Lan the right to withdraw?
Could Lan be Lord Poseidon's illegitimate child?
Xiaobai muttered to himself.
An unlimited assessment is like simply giving money to someone.
For example, passing the top-tier Red Exam offers extremely generous rewards, including becoming the heir to the High Priesthood of Seagod Island.
But leaving the island would be difficult, and your freedom would likely be restricted.
But Lan was different. If he wanted to, he could easily take the assessment rewards for free and slip away.
Add to that Lan's ability to control the sea, and it's hard not to think of Lan as an illegitimate child.
Lan naturally understood this.
There's no such thing as a free lunch
For a moment, he hesitated.
This was a choice about freedom, and he was extremely cautious.
If the price of power came at the cost of his freedom, he'd rather not have it.
Poseidon seemed to see through Lan's thoughts and said calmly, "Lan, come with me to the Seagod Temple."
"Lord Seagod wishes to see you."
Under the shocked gazes of Seahorse Douluo and Xiaobai, Lan followed Poseidon.
Dozens of sacred pillars lined the Poseidon Temple.
At its deepest point, a platform sat atop a golden trident, pierced deep into the ground, emanating a constant sacred aura.
Lan, staring at the Poseidon Trident before him, felt a surge of overwhelming pressure.
This pressure was unprecedented...as if it came from a god.
"Lord Poseidon, I have brought you here."
Poseidon knelt before the Trident and bowed down in worship.
Suddenly,a powerful wave of energy surged from the Trident, and Lan's consciousness instantly drifted from this world, drawn into a void.
Lan stepped onto the surface of the sea.
Before him stood a towering figure, towering between heaven and earth!
The figure wielded the same Poseidon Trident as the one in the Poseidon Temple, bearing the immensity of the ocean.
Surrounded by golden light, his aura ethereal and almost ethereal, it was impossible not to kneel down in worship!
Lan looked up at the towering figure, a flicker of horror in his eyes.
Such a terrifying sense of oppression!
Could he... be the legendary Poseidon?
The Sea God looked at Lan.
His face was covered by a shadow, making it impossible to see his features clearly.
"Young man, your name is Lan, right?"
"Yes."
Lan responded calmly, his expression as serene as ever.
For one who fears no death,even the presence of a legendary deity would not falter.
Especially after Lan had completely shattered the old shackles of the past.
Lan, now a transformed being, had completely transformed.
"Interesting,"the Sea God chuckled, then gently waved his Trident.
Instantly!
The entire ocean trembled violently, the boundless waters transformed into a tsunami, soaring into the sky, as if the entire ocean were hanging upside down.
With a single gesture, he could annihilate heaven and earth!
This was God,a single thought could transform the world.
"Lan, do you wish to possess divine power?"
"With your talent, you can inherit my throne, become the next Sea God, gain endless lifespan, and ascend to the divine realm!"
The Sea God's ethereal voice echoed silently throughout the world.
Lan raised his head slightly, his narrow, deep eyes as calm as autumn water.
"I desire power, but not yours."
"Inheriting another's strength, using another's techniques, is meaningless to me."
"The world only knows the Sea God, not you."
Lan longed for absolute freedom.
Everything was mine, nothing was mine.
The Sea God was silent for a moment, then laughed.
"As I expected, you won't choose to inherit my throne."
"That's true.
With your talent, you could embark on a stronger path, even surpassing me."
Before becoming a god, the Sea God was also a spirit master on the Douluo Continent. Possessed of unparalleled talent, he spent his life conquering the sea, maintaining peace in the Douluo Sea world, earning the faith of all, and ultimately creating his own deity, the Sea God.
While he was called a god of the sea, he was in reality a spirit master who maintained order in the sea and possessed strength far beyond that of mortals.
There are two paths to godhood.
The first is to gain the favor of a deity, complete the divine test bestowed upon them, and inherit their throne.
This is the simplest and most direct way.
The second, far more difficult, involves a soul master using their own innate talent to break free from the constraints of their physical body and create their own deity, much like the Sea God.
This type of deity is also known as a First Generation Deity.
First Generation Deities are all powerful beings,especially in their state of mind.
"Since that's the case, I won't say anything further.
I personally administered your test, and it's extremely difficult, even comparable to the Nine Tests of the Sea God.
Passing it will greatly enhance your strength."
"If you encounter difficulties in the future, you may come to my Sea God Island.
The gates are always open to you,"the Sea God spoke slowly.
"Thank you."
Lan bowed slightly to the Sea God.
Although he didn't understand why the Sea God cared so much for him, he seemed to sense that he harbored no ill will.
In other words,from the very beginning, the Sea God had no intention of letting Lan inherit his deity.
Immediately afterwards, Lan was sent out of the void.
Over the vast expanse of the ocean, the Sea God raised his head slightly.
"The sea is about to welcome its true master."
