The person who arrived looked to be only in her twenties. She wore a red robe and had long ocean-blue hair that almost reached the ground. In her hand was a three-meter-long staff, golden in color, like a spear thrusting straight toward the sky. There was some worry and confusion between her brows, clearly showing that her mood was complicated.
"Bo Saixi, long time no see."
Looking at the person he had once liked, Qian Daoliu let out a long sigh.
"It truly has been a long time."
Bo Saixi nodded politely and answered Qian Daoliu.
Unlike Sea Dragon Douluo, who had never seen Qian Daoliu's strength and therefore had a strange confidence in his own power, Bo Saixi was certain that Qian Daoliu was an opponent on the same level as her.
Both in strength and status, he was someone who stood on the same level as herself.
Among the three great Limit Douluo, the three of them each had their own strengths.
If it was on the sea, Bo Saixi was the strongest.
If it was in the sky, Qian Daoliu was the strongest.
If the battlefield was on land, then Tang Chen was the strongest.
However, although this was how it was said, the three of them all understood one thing.
On the sea, the only ones who could fight each other were Bo Saixi and Qian Daoliu. Tang Chen had no way to compare with the two of them there.
After all, there was sky above the sea, and the ocean was also Bo Saixi's home ground.
But Tang Chen, as a "ground-walking chicken," even if he could force himself to fly with his Spirit Power, could not possibly defeat the two of them in their own fields.
If Bo Saixi fought Qian Daoliu on the sea, she felt that the winner would most likely be herself.
But even if she used every method she had, it would be impossible for her to keep Qian Daoliu there. Even in the best case, the result would only be both sides suffering heavy losses.
"Since we met decades ago, we haven't seen each other again. Qian Daoliu, why have you come to my Sea God Island this time?"
"This time, I brought a junior to Sea God Island."
Qian Daoliu glanced at Chen Ming, who was floating beside him with Spirit Power.
"This is Chen Ming, the disciple of Spirit Hall's Second Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo. He is the current number one genius of our Douluo Continent. He broke the upper limit of the meditation method that Spirit Masters had passed down for ten thousand years, and he is praised as someone whose talent is no less than that of the main god from ten thousand years ago."
"No less than your main god… Qian Daoliu, I never thought you would say something like that…"
Even the somewhat tired Bo Saixi was shocked by Qian Daoliu's words. Her eyes lit up, and she looked Chen Ming up and down with a serious expression.
The "main god" Qian Daoliu spoke of was Angel God.
For a high priest, saying that a later generation had talent no less than their own main god was an extremely serious matter. In a sense, it could even be called somewhat disrespectful.
As a fellow high priest, Bo Saixi knew very well just how heavy those words were coming from Qian Daoliu.
However, because Chen Ming's talent was clear to the entire continent, and because Qian Daoliu had also seen all kinds of things Chen Ming had researched, in Qian Daoliu's heart, Chen Ming's talent might even be a little higher.
Saying "no less than Angel God" was mainly to give some face to his ancestor.
"You brought this junior to Sea God Island for what? Could it be for Sea God Island's inheritance?"
Bo Saixi thought for a moment and felt as if she had some idea.
Angel God's god position could only be passed on to someone with the Angel Martial Soul. This was something even Sea God had personally confirmed.
No matter how talented someone was, if their Martial Soul was not Angel, they could not inherit Angel God's position.
If Qian Daoliu truly believed this child had talent no less than Angel God, then why had he brought him to Sea God Island?
It was far too obvious.
He was clearly aiming for Sea God Island's inheritance, Sea God's god position.
If that was really his plan, should she agree or not?
If she agreed, then even if this child could not become a god, with such talent, there was still a high chance he would inherit at least the Eight Trials and become the next high priest of Sea God Island.
If he influenced Sea God Island, then Sea God Island might become Spirit Hall's vassal without shedding a single drop of blood.
But if she did not agree…
Sea God Island's trials were also open to Spirit Masters from the continent, and Sea God had always needed a successor.
As Sea God's high priest, not searching for a successor for Sea God was one thing. But stopping someone who might inherit that position was another.
And if he really succeeded, then she would have to sacrifice herself. In that case, what about Tang Chen?
Looking at Bo Saixi, who was hesitating there, Qian Daoliu completely could not understand what she was thinking.
After all, to Sea God Island, if someone could truly inherit Sea God's god position, that was clearly a good thing. The high priest should only be happy, not hesitant.
But Qian Daoliu could not really say anything, so he only looked at Chen Ming.
Chen Ming nodded, touched the space between his brows, and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud appeared in his hand.
Although Bo Saixi had never seen the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud before, the moment it appeared, she instinctively locked her gaze onto it in Chen Ming's hand. A trace of greed and surprise flashed in her eyes.
The Sea God's Light covering Sea God Island suddenly began to surge.
Blue-gold power poured out from Sea God's temple and turned into a stream of light. The Sea God Trident, which had originally been enshrined inside the temple, actually flew out by itself and floated beside Bo Saixi.
Just as Bo Saixi thought Sea God's meaning was for her to take the Sea God Trident and retrieve the missing part from it, the Sea God Trident flew past her and stopped in front of that young Spirit Master.
"Kid, did you finally change your mind after getting some ideas? Have you come to inherit my god position?"
Sea God's divine thought phantom surged out from the Sea God Trident, taking the form of a rather frivolous middle-aged man.
The man rubbed his chin as he looked at Chen Ming, his tone carrying a hint of pride.
"Lord Sea God!?"
Watching Sea God's divine thought directly pass over her and speak to this young Spirit Master holding something that belonged to Sea God Island, Bo Saixi felt that this was completely unbelievable.
It felt as if she, the high priest who should have been Sea God's most loyal servant, was only here to… add atmosphere.
Although Sea God had a majestic and holy image in the hearts of Sea God Island's people, the high priests of past generations had all come into contact with Sea God's divine thought and knew some special secrets.
Sea God was much more human than people imagined, and would even occasionally tease the high priest.
