Chapter 350: Bibi Dong's Sea God Ninth Trial
After Tang San was completely burned away, the Sea God's scepter above the Sea God Temple entered the golden vortex and appeared before Bibi Dong. The diamond-shaped golden gemstone on the scepter touched the Sea God Trident mark on Bibi Dong's forehead.
A searing energy surged from the gemstone into Bibi Dong's mind. She felt her soul explode in an instant. That familiar, ancient, resonant voice rang out once again, filled with excitement, "Sea God's Nine Trials, Ninth Trial—Sea God Inheritance, begin."
As the voice fell, thirteen golden beams of light descended from the sky, transforming into thirteen burning golden flames that surrounded Bibi Dong and the Demon Soul Great White Shark.
Moments later, the flames converged, forming a blazing crimson-gold gate in front of Bibi Dong.
It resembled a doorway made entirely of fire, with no physical structure, and the flames seemed to beckon her in.
Bibi Dong and the Demon Soul Great White Shark stepped into the fire gate. The Four Sacred Pillars of the Sea God, along with Tang Tian and Tang Hu, combined their energy to maintain the gate—a return path after inheriting the Sea God's position.
Bibi Dong and Xiaobai entered the Sea God's inheritance realm. The Four Pillars and the Tang brothers entered another space. Only Bo Saixi remained in the Sea God Temple.
Bo Saixi knelt before the Sea God's statue, eyes filled with sorrowful tears. Now that her martial spirit had been forcibly changed to Rakshasa by Bibi Dong, she could no longer commune with the Sea God she worshipped so devoutly.
At this moment, she prayed with all her heart that the Sea God would not pass his divine position to someone like Bibi Dong. Otherwise, the ocean, Sea God Island, and all of the Sea God's people would be plunged into darkness. She believed the all-knowing Sea God would see through Bibi Dong's true nature. Let her keep the Rakshasa divinity—just don't grant her Tang Chen.
As for the hardships Sea God Island endured, once the Sea God learned of them, divine retribution would come easily.

The Sea God's Inheritance Realm
Compared to the Rakshasa God Temple, this place was far more elegant.
Bibi Dong held the Sea God's Trident and soon discovered a colossal palace a kilometer below her, standing still in the deep sea. Over a kilometer in width and length, and over 200 meters tall, it shimmered a brilliant oceanic blue, encased in a glowing blue barrier.
As Bibi Dong and Xiaobai approached the shield, a cold voice echoed, "Bibi Dong, you already possess the Rakshasa inheritance, and now you seek mine? Don't you know a single soul cannot bear two divine positions?"
"That's why I found a vessel. The Demon Soul Great White Shark was once your mount. She will bear your divine consciousness, and I will fuse with her. Then we will share the power of both gods."
The voice fell silent for a moment before replying, "Bibi Dong, your Sea God affinity is not 100%. Are you sure you want to proceed?"
"I'm sure. I have the confidence to inherit the Sea God's position."
Bibi Dong was well aware: Tang San had never taken the Asura Trials, yet inherited the position anyway. Cheating! Exploiting backdoors!
Gods could choose anyone to inherit their power. The trial's difficulty was entirely at the god's discretion. If the vessel could bear the power and the god agreed, even a pig could ascend.
"If that's your decision, then proceed."
BOOM BOOM BOOM…
The massive golden gates, each a hundred meters tall, slowly opened with a deep rumble, inviting Bibi Dong and Xiaobai inside.
Inside, Xiaobai resumed human form. She stepped carefully, no longer as casual as she had been on Sea God Island, fearing she might offend the Sea God.
The main hall held thirty-six massive columns on each side, supporting the structure. A three-hundred-meter-wide central pathway led straight to the inner sanctum.
At its end sat a towering throne—and on it, a giant.
The Sea God.
He looked human, dressed in a white robe trimmed with gold. A trident-shaped halo rested on his head, a blue gem embedded in its center. His appearance resembled the spirit projection seen in the Vast Sea Cosmic Shield.
His face was plain but carried immense majesty. Calm but sharp eyes watched Bibi Dong approach. The pressure in this place was overwhelming—even for a god like her.
"Greetings, Lord Sea God!"
Xiaobai dropped to her knees. After twenty thousand years, she still revered her master deeply.
The Sea God nodded slightly and turned to Bibi Dong. "You see me and do not kneel?"
Bibi Dong replied calmly, "I'm merely your successor, not your servant. Why should I kneel?"
Poseidon rose, his hundred-meter body emanating terrifying power. His gaze turned fierce. He stomped once—BOOM!—and divine pressure crushed down.
"Kneel!"
Blue-gold divine energy slammed into Bibi Dong. She had no power to resist. She was forced to her knees.
Poseidon pressed his palm downward—BANG! BANG! BANG!—and Bibi Dong's forehead slammed the ground three times.
Her face twisted, veins bulging. She, Bibi Dong, who had lived two lives, now a god, was forced to kowtow? Never had she been humiliated like this!
Her mind raced. How could a god of her level be so easily suppressed? Was it because this was Poseidon's domain?
From the sidelines, the Four Pillars of the Sea God and Xiaobai cheered with joy.
"Long live the Sea God! Sea God is invincible!"
Finally—someone who could crush Bibi Dong. A self-important monster who always believed the world owed her everything, and that she could never be wrong. She had met her match.
