Sea God Island.
This place was the inheritance site of the God Position left behind by the former Sea God, Posexi, after he attained godhood.
If Spirit Hall is the holy land for the continent's Soul Masters...
...then this place is the holy land for Sea Spirit Masters.
The island could be described as a gathering of masters.
Aside from a High Priestess whose strength reached the level of a Level 99 Peerless Douluo...
...there were also seven Titled Douluo who formed the Sacred Pillar Guardians to protect this place.
This allowed the island's residents to live in peace and stability.
After the Devil Spirit Great White Shark, Xiao Bai, retreated...
Jin Mian steered the ship, and before long, they approached Sea God Island.
As soon as they landed...
The system's voice exploded in his mind.
[Ding! Host detected at Sea God Island! Check-in successful!]
[Reward: One Resurrection Card!]
[Next check-in location: Sea God Temple!]
[Item Name: Resurrection Card]
[Effect: Upon use, can resurrect any designated person (no side effects)!]
Looking at the Resurrection Card provided by the system...
Jin Mian couldn't help but scratch the back of his head.
"Wait."
"What use do I have for this thing?"
"Do I have to act like Tang San and use this to shout 'Resurrect, my love!'? Forget it, I'll just keep it for now."
Up ahead, Qian Renxue was admiring the scenery of Sea God Island.
Seeing Jin Mian standing there as if rooted to the spot...
She asked curiously, "Hubby, what are you thinking about?"
"Oh, nothing. Let's go." Coming back to his senses, Jin Mian quickly followed behind Qian Renxue.
Looking out...
Sea God Island was massive in size.
At a glance, one couldn't even see the horizon.
The island was covered in greenery, with all sorts of plants they had never seen before.
The air also carried the scent of the sea.
Under the sunlight, the beach shimmered as every grain of sand gleamed with silver light.
The sky was also incredibly azure.
Such beautiful scenery.
It gave off only one feeling.
Quiet! Peaceful!
"It really is a suitable place for retirement," Jin Mian muttered to himself as he gazed at the paradise-like scenery. Suddenly, an aura rapidly approached, and he turned around, shouting sharply, "Who's there?"
As his voice fell...
A man dressed in black with a peculiar appearance walked out of the forest.
Surprise was evident on his face.
He hadn't expected to be discovered by the other party just as he approached.
But he still forced himself to remain calm.
"Welcome to Sea God Island."
"Rest assured, I mean no harm."
"My name is Ou Ya. By order of the High Priestess, I am here to lead you to Poseidon Mountain."
Hearing the man's introduction...
Jin Mian instantly recognized the person's identity.
This person before him was one of the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo of Sea God Island, the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar Guardian — the Sea Horse Douluo.
He was also the City Lord of Sea Horse City.
And the High Priestess he mentioned...
...was Posexi.
Qian Renxue whispered to Jin Mian, "Xiao Mian, should we go? Or should we just blast this guy away?"
Although Qian Renxue's voice was very low...
...the distance between them wasn't far.
Furthermore, Sea Horse Douluo was a Titled Douluo, so his hearing was naturally beyond that of ordinary people.
Hearing that this woman in front of him wanted to blast him away...
His face couldn't help but twitch a few times.
Please.
No matter what, he was still a Titled Douluo.
How could he be defeated so easily?
Jin Mian thought for a moment.
Although he wasn't sure when Posexi had noticed him...
...the next check-in location was the Sea God Temple.
Since the other party was inviting them to Poseidon Mountain...
...it saved them the step of forcing their way in.
He looked at Qian Renxue and nodded, "Since we have nothing better to do, let's go see what the place where the Sea God once lived looks like."
"Okay."
Seeing that Jin Mian wanted to go, Qian Renxue retracted the Great Sword in her hand.
Meanwhile, Sea Horse Douluo was slightly surprised.
This man in his early twenties actually knew about the Sea God.
However, he didn't think too much about it.
He turned and said, "Follow me."
Under Sea Horse Douluo's guidance, Jin Mian and Qian Renxue soon entered Sea Horse City.
Along the way...
Ou Ya introduced the situation of Sea God Island to the two of them.
"Sea God Island has a total of seven cities, each with a population of one thousand, and each city is guarded by one of the Seven Sacred Pillars."
"We are currently in Sea Horse City, and I am the City Lord of Sea Horse City."
"Additionally, each of the Seven Sacred Pillars has the strength of a Titled Douluo."
"Furthermore, Sea God Island has over three thousand Soul Masters, and everyone on the island is a devout believer of Lord Sea God."
"Do you have any more quest— where are they?"
After finishing the general introduction of Sea God Island...
Sea Horse Douluo wanted to ask if the two behind him had any more questions.
But as soon as he turned around, he found...
...that Jin Mian and Qian Renxue had long since wandered off on their own.
He had been introducing to thin air for quite a while.
He saw them at a jewelry stall.
Qian Renxue was holding several pieces of jewelry: "Xue Ning will definitely love this jewelry, and Lingling..."
As for Jin Mian...
...he was currently squatting in front of a child.
With a face full of smiles, he asked, "Child, do you believe in the Light?"
Seeing this scene, Sea Horse Douluo...
...almost turned red with anger.
Damn it!
What kind of people are these?
They're too casual!
If I didn't know better, I'd think you were here for a vacation.
Especially that man.
Didn't he hear me say just now that the island's residents are all devout believers of Lord Sea God?
Why is he over there preaching about "believing in the Light"?
If it weren't for the fact that before they set out...
...Posexi had instructed him...
...not to use force under any circumstances, and certainly not to get angry...
...he would have dragged the two of them to Poseidon Mountain long ago.
About an hour later.
Sea Horse Douluo had waited so long he was about to grow cobwebs when Jin Mian and Qian Renxue finally walked back.
"Sea Horse Douluo, why are you standing here? Didn't you say you were going to take us to Poseidon Mountain? Let's go," Jin Mian said as if nothing had happened.
Sea Horse Douluo suppressed the urge to hit someone.
He took a deep breath.
He turned and walked forward.
This time...
...he didn't deliberately slow down to wait for the two.
Instead, he sped up and flew towards Poseidon Mountain.
As for whether those two could keep up...
...it had nothing to do with him.
Soon.
The three of them arrived at Poseidon Mountain.
Just as Sea Horse Douluo was about to look back to see if the two behind him had caught up...
...he discovered that Jin Mian and Qian Renxue had already walked ahead of him at some unknown point.
"This is Poseidon Mountain? It feels quite ordinary," Jin Mian said, surveying the surroundings.
Qian Renxue pointed at the steps ahead and asked, "Strange? Why did you build such long steps here?"
Sea Horse Douluo didn't explain.
He said directly, "The High Priestess is in the Sea God Temple above. If you want to see her, you must go up the steps."
"I forgot to ask you, what does the High Priestess want with me?" Jin Mian asked curiously.
"I don't know. Go up and ask the High Priestess yourself."
After saying this...
Sea Horse Douluo vanished.
Jin Mian looked at the 999 steps and couldn't help but be speechless: "This is really troublesome. To see someone, I have to climb steps. It's not like I'm the one begging to see Posexi; she's the one who wanted to see me, yet she pulls this boring little trick."
"Then should we go up?" Qian Renxue asked.
"Since we're already here, let's climb them."
"And let them broaden their horizons while we're at it."
After saying that...
Jin Mian took Qian Renxue's hand and stepped onto the first step.
Meanwhile, in the Sea God Temple, Posexi...
...upon hearing Jin Mian say that the trial she arranged was a "little trick"...
...her ten-thousand-year-old icy face couldn't help but twitch.
"Nice brat!"
"Let me see just how much ability you have."
