"Recently, a group of Evil Demon Orcas has been harassing my believers, the mermaid race. Although it won't cause any real trouble, I can't just sit and watch. I originally planned to have Xixi go over, but now you can take care of it instead."
In truth, this wave of Evil Demon Orcas was not really a problem.
After all, the mermaid race had no shortage of hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, and their leader was a powerful fierce beast at the six-hundred-thousand-year level.
The mermaid race did not fight alone either. They lived in symbiosis with many powerful Spirit Beast groups. One could even say they ruled over many strong Spirit Beast races as their subordinate groups.
This wave of Evil Demon Orcas was just a case of ocean thugs acting up. They had nothing better to do, so they started bothering the mermaid race for a while. When the time came, they would leave on their own.
Forget the mermaid race, even Sea God Island saw this kind of thing as nothing important.
The reason Sea God asked Chen Ming to do it was not because he was bored. The main reason was that the Divine Realm also had rules, and gods were not allowed to casually interfere with the lower world.
Within Sea God Island's range, he could naturally do whatever he wanted. But he could not just throw down a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring for no reason. Otherwise, that petty Asura God would come looking for trouble.
As long as Chen Ming found a way to make the Evil Demon Orcas leave, whether they left on their own or were killed and driven off, Sea God could give Chen Ming a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring afterward.
Even if someone asked about it, there would be a proper reason. He would not be afraid of anyone causing trouble.
"Thank you, Senior Sea God. These are some cultivation methods this junior researched on the continent. I think they should be useful to Sea God Island and the sea Spirit Masters."
Chen Ming took out the three-piece set he had written: Douluo Heart Method, Iron Hand Skill, and Small Perplexing Step.
Sea God's divine thought casually took the three books and flipped through them. In the end, he could not help nodding.
"Not bad, not bad. Your ideas are pretty good, kid."
"These cultivation systems have improved quite a lot. A Spirit Master's cultivation speed should increase by almost half. It's just this Small Perplexing Step thing that doesn't really suit us sea Spirit Masters."
Sea God handed the three books to Bo Saixi.
"Take these back and pass them down quickly. Let the Spirit Masters of Sea God Island cultivate a little faster."
"But don't forget who gave them to you. Don't change the name written on them."
At this point, Sea God glanced at Chen Ming.
"Kid, did you do this on purpose or by accident? This method of gathering faith power is much softer than normally conquering others, and it's also much easier for people to accept."
"Senior overpraises me."
Chen Ming neither admitted nor denied it. He only scratched his head and gave a silly laugh.
Sea God's divine thought waved his hand and sent a ray of Sea God's Light into Chen Ming, issuing the task. Then he directly controlled the Sea God Trident and flew back into the Sea God Temple.
As Sea God's High Priest and the actual ruler of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi looked like a useless husband watching Sea God happily chatting and laughing with someone else, then issuing a task.
After the Sea God Trident flew back into the Sea God Temple, Bo Saixi looked at Chen Ming with complicated eyes.
"You obtained the Sea God's Heart and received Lord Sea God's recognition, yet you look down on Lord Sea God's god position? Do you know what you're doing? Do you know who you rejected? You rejected a god!"
Chen Ming only scratched his head and laughed foolishly before replying.
If Bo Saixi were a man, Chen Ming would have reasoned with her. He would have talked about his ambition and talent, and how he had happened to gain Sea God's recognition.
But Bo Saixi was a very emotional woman, so emotional that she was sometimes not very rational. There was no point trying to reason with someone like that. The more you reasoned with her, the more she might lose control of her emotions.
After all, when someone looked down on something she had tried her hardest to obtain but never could, it was especially easy to strike the softest part of her heart.
At a time like this, it was best to just play dumb.
Looking at Chen Ming, who seemed as soft as dough, Bo Saixi was angry for a moment before she could only let out a helpless sigh and keep comforting herself in her heart.
If he doesn't inherit the god position, then so be it. At least I won't have to sacrifice myself, right…
"Qian Daoliu, and you… Chen Ming."
Bo Saixi thought of the name written on those three books.
"You two have received Lord Sea God's approval and may set foot on Sea God Island. If you wish to stay on the island, I can act as your guide and show you around."
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Bo Saixi. After I drive away the Evil Demon Orca clan, I'll return to Sea God Island and take a look at the miracles left behind by Senior Sea God, as well as the customs of sea Spirit Masters that differ from those on the continent."
"Do as you wish. I believe this matter won't be difficult for you."
Bo Saixi did not say much more. She only nodded to Qian Daoliu and Chen Ming. Seeing that neither of them had anything else to say, she returned to Sea God Island.
But her heart was far less calm than she looked.
After a moment of silence, Bo Saixi finally could not hold back and stepped into the Sea God Temple. Facing the Sea God Trident, she began to pray.
"Lord Sea God, I don't understand why you would do this."
"What kind of magic does that young Spirit Master have that makes you value him so much?"
"He received your recognition, yet not only did he fail to thank you for your grace, he even showed such an attitude toward you. Can you truly allow such disrespect?"
"The Sea God's Heart is our Sea God Island's treasure. It is a key inheritance object…"
"You don't understand. The gap between people can be very large." Sea God's divine thought spoke inside Bo Saixi's mind.
"Although they are all human, the gap between one human and another can be more terrifying than the gap between a giant dragon and an ant."
"He did not gain this talent because I valued him. Rather, because he was already born with such talent, the moment I noticed him, he earned my recognition and attention."
"He has the full ability to inherit my god position, but he also has the full ability to create a new god position by himself."
"It isn't that he looks down on me. Just as he said, he feels that the attribute doesn't suit him and the compatibility is different, so he has no intention of inheriting my position."
"He can reach the same level as me, or even do better. Naturally, there is no need for him to force himself to adapt to my Sea God position."
"And although the Sea God's Heart is important, it isn't absolutely necessary. If someone truly has the talent, then even without the Sea God's Heart, they can still inherit the Sea God Nine Trials… The Sea God's Heart mostly raises compatibility and lowers the difficulty of the trials."
"This may sound a little hurtful, but in truth, I have always known exactly where the Sea God's Heart was."
"If Sea God Island really produced someone qualified to inherit the Nine Trials, forget telling you where the Sea God's Heart was. Even if I had you recreate a new Sea God's Heart during the trials and then inherit the Nine Trials, that would be possible."
"But the number of sea Spirit Masters is still too small, and there has never been a true genius in the real sense…"
Sea God had already said it very gently, but Bo Saixi still understood what he meant.
From beginning to end, Sea God Island had never produced someone who could take over this position.
Even she was not limited to the Eight Trials because she lacked the Sea God's Heart. Even if she had possessed the Sea God's Heart, she could only have reached the Eight Trials.
If needed, the Sea God's Heart could return to Sea God Island at any time.
But Sea God Island had never had anyone with that qualification.
That was why the Sea God's Heart had remained outside, searching for someone truly qualified to inherit.
"Lord Sea God, just how large is the gap between our talents?"
"I just don't understand. I truly don't understand…"
Bo Saixi struggled to speak.
She truly could not understand what kind of talent could make Sea God praise him like this. Even Tang Chen back then, and later Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, the two brothers who came to Sea God Island, had never received such high praise from Sea God.
"He is not even fifteen years old, yet he already has Spirit Power above level sixty and spiritual cultivation close to yours."
"Twin Martial Souls, four ultimate attributes, more than one hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone, and a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring."
"What are you going to use to compare with him?"
"The gap between the two of you is no longer a question of whether it is large or not."
"There is no comparison. There is truly no way to compare."
