[ "Seagod Nine Trials First Trial completed, reward: five percent Sea God affinity" ]
[ Listening to the voice echoing in her mind, the pressure originating from the Seagod's Light surrounding Bibi Dong completely dissipated. ]
[ "Tch, they all say the Sea God is generous, so can't he give me, this successor, a bit more stuff?" ]
[ "What god-bestowed spirit rings, give me ten of them right away, as my second Spirit just happens to lack spirit rings." ]
[ "And god-bestowed Spirit Bones, just give me a full set directly." ]
[ "And the age of the spirit rings, upgrade them all to one hundred thousand years too." ]
[ "Clearly I am already the Sea God's successor, why is my reward only Sea God affinity?" ]
[ Bibi Dong thought of the rewards for her Gods Trial and could not help complaining. ]
[ It was simply that her reward, this so-called Sea God affinity, wasn't as practical as other rewards. ]
[ She was naturally well aware that this affinity likely concerned her inheriting the Sea God's position, and even according to Yu Xiaogang's analysis, only when her affinity reached one hundred percent could she truly inherit the Sea God's position. ]
[ With progress, at least she wouldn't feel lost when working hard. ]
[ But when the reward was only Sea God affinity, even though Bibi Dong knew her future achievements would be higher than Flender and the others, she would inevitably still envy the rewards everyone else obtained. ]
[ "You really are quite greedy, aren't you?" ]
[ "Although I am not clear on the specific situation of the Divine Realm, I suppose that even gods have their own rules." ]
[ "Otherwise, that Sea God would have long let someone else sit in his position, or at worst, found a helper to fulfill the Sea God's duties for him, and when trouble arose, the Sea God could return to take charge of the overall situation." ]
[ "Like that High Priestess, a person with such pious faith and peerless talent, she would simply be most suitable to help act as a secretary handling affairs." ]
[ "But the Sea God did not do this, so the high probability is not that he doesn't want to, but that he cannot." ]
[ Yu Xiaogang said. ]
[ Wherever there are people, there are rules. Since the gods of the Divine Realm all grew from former humans, those rules would equally apply. ]
[ "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. What is your second trial?" ]
[ Yu Xiaogang looked at Bibi Dong and asked with a curious expression. ]
[ "It says to let me retrieve something called the Sea God's Heart." ]
[ "The Sea God's Heart?" ]
[ Yu Xiaogang likewise frowned. ]
[ "The Sea God's Heart, Lord Sea God's Divine Artifact, the core component of the Sea God Trident." ]
[ Suddenly, a voice sounded behind the two of them, and it was precisely Bo Saixi who had suddenly arrived here. ]
[ She glanced at Bibi Dong, who had completed the first trial, her gaze calm and tranquil. ]
[ "Originally, according to the normal procedure, someone would first gain the recognition of the Sea God's Heart, obtain the qualification to open the Seagod Nine Trials, and then come to Sea God Island under the guidance of the Sea God's Heart, only then officially opening the Gods Trial." ]
[ "But you are clearly an exception." ]
[ Bo Saixi looked at Yu Xiaogang; only an extraordinary person like Yu Xiaogang could prompt their Lord Sea God to make an exception and bestow the Gods Trial. ]
[ As a result, unexpectedly Yu Xiaogang did not accept it, so Lord Sea God then transferred the object of the Gods Trial to Bibi Dong. ]
[ "Now that your first trial has been completed, you can be considered to have officially stepped onto the path of the Gods Trial." ]
[ "Then at this time, you need to retrieve the Sea God's Heart, after all, subsequent evaluations require the cooperation of the Sea God's Heart." ]
[ Bo Saixi's words made Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong understand the situation. ]
[ "So, where is that Sea God's Heart right now?" ]
[ "I don't know." ]
[ Bo Saixi spoke with a calm expression, words that left Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong speechless. ]
[ "One day after Lord Sea God achieved the status of Sea God, the Sea God's Heart left Sea God Island. At that time, upper and lower Sea God Island erupted into unprecedented panic." ]
[ "The High Priestess at the time thought someone had stolen the Sea God's Heart, and for this, she even prepared to carry out an unprecedented great purge." ]
[ "Fortunately, Lord Sea God descended an oracle, informing the subjects of Sea God Island that the Sea God's Heart was actively sent out of Sea God Island by him." ]
[ "And the function of the Sea God's Heart is to select a suitable Gods Trial successor for Lord Sea God." ]
[ "Sea God Island is under Lord Sea God's gaze, so if a being capable of accepting the Seagod Nine Trials is born among the people here, Lord Sea God will instantly know." ]
[ "However, outside of Sea God Island, that distant Douluo Continent is not like this." ]
[ "With this explanation, do you understand?" ]
[ Yu Xiaogang nodded, then pressed further. ]
[ "Then can the High Priestess tell us what the Sea God's Heart looks like? Or perhaps its features and the like, so it will be convenient for us to go look for it." ]
[ "What the Sea God's Heart looks like, I do not know either. It is just that according to records in ancient texts, the Sea God's Heart is a blue triangular gemstone, and its surface is just like flowing water." ]
[ Bo Saixi described the appearance of the Sea God's Heart meant for inspection. ]
[ "A blue triangular gemstone, with a surface just like flowing water..." ]
[ In Yu Xiaogang's mind, something instantly surfaced. ]
[ Back then, Yu Xiaogang's trip to the Sunset Forest ended, and he obtained a large number of Spirit Bones. ]
[ Precious treasures like Spirit Bones generally prioritized the strong, and furthermore, the higher the age, the better. ]
[ Thus, his father and the Grand Elder discussed it; they wanted to use the ones with lower age among those Spirit Bones to acquire better Spirit Bones for his father's body parts that hadn't absorbed Spirit Bones yet. ]
[ And the Heaven Dou Empire, as one of the Two Great Empires of the Douluo Continent, although its inventory of Spirit Bones might not compare to the Spirit Hall, it definitely had collections. ]
[ After a round of negotiations, in the end, Yu Yuanzhen and the others obtained the qualification to enter the Heaven Dou Empire's collection treasury to select a Spirit Bone of around fifty thousand years. ]
[ Yu Xiaogang was also among the group of people entering the collection treasury. ]
[ During that trip, Yu Xiaogang saw a national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire named the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. ]
[ A sea-blue triangular gemstone, its surface shining brilliantly like flowing water. Such a beautiful gemstone, Yu Xiaogang remembered it in his mind the very first time. ]
[ "High Priestess, do you see if it looks like this?" ]
[ As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang raised his hand and condensed a creation the same size as that Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud using his First Spirit Skill. ]
[ Even though it turned into a golden color because of the light element, at least the shape was perfectly displayed by Yu Xiaogang. ]
[ "Yes, that's right, this is it!" ]
[ Bo Saixi nodded in affirmation, then looked at Yu Xiaogang in surprise. ]
[ "You actually have seen the Sea God's Heart?" ]
[ "We met once by chance." ]
[ Yu Xiaogang scratched the back of his head. ]
[ How did the treasure used by the Sea God to select a successor become a national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire? ]
[ That being said, how should they get their hands on the Sea God's Heart? ]
[ If it's just a simple transaction, which royal family would be willing to trade their own national treasure? ]
[ If the Heaven Dou Empire stubbornly refused to agree to an exchange, could it be that next they would have to turn into master thieves or robbers and get their hands on the Sea God's Heart through underhanded means? ]
