Chapter 293: The Deal with Poseidon
At this moment, neither Bibi Dong nor the Rakshasa God knew that the Asura God's divine power they had been plotting for was already in the hands of the one deity they must not offend.
Who could have imagined that the newly ascended Thunder God King had also inherited the legacy of the Asura God?
Most importantly, even the Sea God Poseidon wanted to pass down his divine position to Kong.
"I understand."
Bibi Dong nodded. For Qian Renxue, if possible, she would kill the inheritor of the Asura God's power.
"Of course, if the situation is beyond your control, you don't necessarily have to—"
"No, I will kill the inheritor of the Asura God's power. I have a reason that leaves me no choice but to do so!"
Bibi Dong shook her head, her gaze growing increasingly resolute.
The Rakshasa God remained silent for a while but ultimately said nothing.
This inheritor was finally starting to show some promise.
Bibi Dong was exceptionally intelligent. From the Rakshasa God's words, she understood that her ascension as the Rakshasa God was practically set in stone.
Otherwise, the Rakshasa God wouldn't have spoken as if it was an inevitable outcome: Once you become a god…
Seeing that the Rakshasa God had nothing more to say, Bibi Dong didn't dwell on it either and focused on healing her injuries.
The scene shifted to Kong's side.
Noticing that Bibi Dong did not stubbornly endure the second wave of tribulation lightning, Kong withdrew his gaze. As long as she wasn't foolish, it was almost impossible for her to die while transcending her tribulation.
Suddenly, as if recalling something, Kong retrieved the Heart of the Sea God from his storage soul tool.
After briefly examining it, Kong spoke, "Poseidon, come out and meet me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a majestic figure emerged from the Heart of the Sea God. However, Poseidon's expression was far from pleasant.
A chosen inheritor, one that was already within his grasp, had suddenly gone on to inherit another god's legacy instead. His feelings were understandable.
"Thunder God King, what do you want?"
Poseidon asked in a deep voice, his divine soul looking somewhat listless.
"I want to speak with your true self."
Kong got straight to the point.
Hearing this, Poseidon's divine soul was slightly stunned, but he quickly nodded and immediately began contacting his main body.
In the God Realm, the Sea God's Palace appeared somewhat dilapidated. Opposite Poseidon stood the Asura God, and Poseidon himself looked battered and bruised.
The two gods had been "sparring" for three days and three nights—equivalent to three years in the human world.
Poseidon was, after all, only a First-Class Deity. Even at his peak, he remained a First-Class Deity.
It was only because the Asura God was holding back that he had managed to fight for three days and nights.
Although covered in bruises, Poseidon remained unconvinced.
"Damn it! If I were a God King too, there's no way I'd lose to you…"
Poseidon gritted his teeth, furious that the Asura God had stolen the inheritor he had set his sights on.
So what if Asura had arrived first?
And now, to make things worse, the one who had inherited the divine position first wasn't the Sea God nor the Asura God, but rather the deceased Thunder God.
In one move, he had ascended straight to the level of a God King.
If only he had inherited Poseidon's divine position instead—how great that would have been.
Although the new god's strength had nothing to do with him, it would still be a great honor to say:
"Look! That God King was once my inheritor!"
But now, all of that was gone.
"Pathetic. Just train more."
The Asura God responded indifferently. After beating Poseidon up, he found himself in a much better mood.
"Hmph!"
Poseidon snorted coldly. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly sensed an anomaly.
His divine soul in the Douluo Continent was reaching out to him? And it seemed urgent?
"Wait, Asura, hold on!"
"Oh? You think you can just start and stop a fight whenever you want?"
The Asura God teased, but he did not continue attacking and instead paused.
If not for the dispute over the inheritor, the relationship between the two gods was actually quite decent.
Poseidon rolled his eyes but didn't bother responding to Asura's jab. Instead, he connected to his divine soul fragment.
"Hm?"
"The Thunder God King wants to speak with me?"
Poseidon scratched his head and murmured to himself.
This instantly piqued the interest of the Asura God.
The Thunder God King—wasn't that his inheritor?
Poseidon glanced at the Asura God and saw his expression filled with curiosity. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Hahaha…"
The Asura God's eyelids twitched. This guy—acting so smug—was really asking for a beating!
Clearly, he had gone too easy on him earlier!
"The Thunder God King is no ordinary person. My conversation with him is a dialogue between gods, which does not violate the rules of the God Realm!"
Poseidon declared to himself, but it was obvious who he was actually speaking to.
Meanwhile, on Kong's side.
"Thunder God King, what do you seek from me?"
At that moment, Kong realized that the true consciousness of Poseidon had arrived.
Poseidon wore a smile, thinking that Kong had finally come to his senses and was ready to inherit his divine position.
If Kong made the request, he would pass it on immediately!
"Poseidon, I have something to discuss with you."
"Go ahead."
"I cannot inherit your divine position, but I can recommend someone to you."
Upon hearing this, Poseidon's expression changed slightly, his mood darkening.
Kong was indeed stronger than him now, but his divine position was not something that Kong could just give away as he pleased!
Poseidon had his principles!
He was about to refuse outright but then hesitated. His divine position did need to be passed on. Previously, he had even considered asking the Rakshasa God's inheritor to take the Heart of the Sea God to Sea God Island.
Though it was a pity that the Thunder God King couldn't inherit his divine position, it still had to be passed down to someone.
"Oh? Who might it be?"
In the end, Poseidon compromised.
"My grandfather, Yu Yuanzhen."
"A newly ascended Rank 99 Peerless Douluo."
Hearing this, Poseidon was slightly taken aback. He had initially expected Kong to introduce a young inheritor, but Kong had completely broken the usual pattern!
A Rank 99 Peerless Douluo?
If he had reached this level purely through his own cultivation, he could directly inherit a divine position without even needing a godly trial.
Yes, not long ago, Kong had returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Right then and there, Yu Yuanzhen, who had been at Rank 98, broke through to Rank 99. Even Vice Clan Chief Dugu Bo and several elders experienced breakthroughs to varying degrees.
"Anyone capable of breaking through to Rank 99 is no ordinary figure…"
"And he is also the grandfather of the Thunder God King…"
Considering this, Poseidon nodded and said, "No problem. I can grant him my inheritance. However, you must agree to one condition."
"What condition?"
"In the future, I will search for the first Angel God. If the Thunder God King ever learns of her whereabouts, I ask that you inform me immediately. Even if—even if it is just a flower that resembles her…"
Kong: "..."
Seriously? He had never even seen the first Angel God before. Even if he did, how would he recognize her?
"In the Angel God Temple, traces of her presence still remain…"
As if sensing Kong's hesitation, Poseidon spoke again.
"Fine, I agree."
"Many thanks!"
"Thunder God King, you only need to give the Heart of the Sea God to your grandfather. My divine soul fragment will guide him through his ascension."
