Dongfang Jing, accompanied by the Sun Goddess, appeared in his own spiritual world.
A familiar space, a familiar feeling.
In the pavilion on the floating island, the Sun Goddess sat down, and the Eastern Mirror also sat down, with a distance between them.
"Is there anything you'd like to ask?" the Sun Goddess asked.
Dongfang Jing asked directly, "You fought with the God of Asura before?"
"It wasn't exactly a fight," the Sun Goddess said calmly. "He discovered that I had entered the Douluo God Realm and wanted to eliminate me according to the rules. As you can see, the result was obvious."
"Not only the Asura God, but also a few other guys, I taught them a lesson as well."
"They had no way to restrain me, nor could they beat me, so they were exceptionally polite to me."
"I see... So those two people just now wanted me to inherit their divine positions, do you have any objections?"
"The matter of divine inheritance is a legitimate affair, and I have no reason or need to interfere. Of course, this is on the premise that it will not affect your Blazing Sun Divine Trial."
Dongfang Jing understood the logic here and nodded.
The Sun Goddess continued, "You've probably noticed that the Sea God and the Asura God are eager to pass on their divine positions to suitable candidates; they each have their own plans. But regardless, their willingness to pass on their divine positions to you is beneficial and harmless to you."
"If you truly inherit their divine positions, along with the position of the Sun God, the three gods will coexist! In that case, you will surely reach an unimaginable height!"
Dongfang Jing sensed the weight of the implication and didn't rush to respond, instead silently processing the information for a while.
He slowly said, "So, you mean that once I break through level 90 and reach that point, I'll naturally know what to do next."
"That's right. Becoming stronger is the most important thing for you right now. What you're facing now is just the beginning."
Dongfang Jing remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded.
"I understand, thank you for your guidance."
The Sun Goddess smiled slightly and said nothing more. The golden radiance around her began to fade little by little, and the entire floating island and the entire spiritual world became blurred.
Dongfang Jing felt his consciousness being pulled back, and everything in front of him began to recede into the distance.
Open your eyes.
He floated in mid-air, with the ground of Poseidon Island beneath his feet. The golden pillar of light that had enveloped him had dissipated, leaving only scattered specks of light floating in the air.
Dongfang Jing swayed and landed back on the ground.
Looking up, the first thing she saw was Brigitte's worried face and Poseidon's surprised expression.
"It seems... you've failed."
The high priest's usually dignified and composed face now revealed a hint of relief, and even his tone sounded like he couldn't contain his joy.
As Poseidon spoke, he looked up at the sacred pillar and murmured, "Lord Sea God, what are your thoughts? Don't you have any interest in this young man?"
She was talking about the results of the Nine Trials of the Sea God. In her opinion, after Dongfang Jing was enveloped in golden light, he did not start the Nine Trials of the Sea God, and no trident mark appeared on Dongfang Jing's forehead.
Poseidon could think of no other possibility than failure.
Dongfang Jing lowered her eyes and did not correct her.
Brigitte had already walked quickly to him, her eyes scanning him up and down, her voice filled with undisguised worry: "How are you? Are you alright?"
"It's nothing," Dongfang Jing said. "My consciousness was just taken away for a while, but I wasn't injured."
Hearing this, Brigitte felt a little relieved, but she still grabbed his arm, moved closer, and whispered, "Tell me, what happened?"
Dongfang Jing glanced to the side and saw that Poseidon, as well as Sea Dragon Douluo and Seahorse Douluo, were standing not far away, their ears perked up, clearly listening.
He gently shook his head at Brigitte, indicating that it was inconvenient to talk about it now.
Brigitte understood and didn't ask any further questions, but she didn't let go of his hand and kept holding it.
Dongfang Jing turned around, cupped his hands in greeting to Poseidon, and said calmly, "Senior, thank you for your guidance today. As for the follow-up matters, I still need some time to prepare. Once everything is ready, I will come to Poseidon Island again."
Poseidon looked at him for a moment and nodded: "Although I don't know why you haven't started the Nine Trials of the Sea God, you are welcome to visit Sea God Island at any time. I will still obey the Sea God's decree."
Dongfang Jing exchanged a few more polite words, then quietly left a spatial mark on the land of Poseidon Island before walking side by side with Biji to the shore.
Xiao Bai waited on the shore and saw Dongfang Jing in the distance.
"My benefactor, how was it? You caused quite a commotion just now!"
"The result is good." Dongfang Jing glanced at her. "The matter is settled. Let's go to Pearl Island."
"good!"
...
Little White carried them.
Along the way, Dongfang Jing telepathically told Biji what had happened in the Land of Inheritance.
After listening, Brigitte remained silent for a moment, and her first words were: "This is a good thing for you."
Dongfang Jing: "Hmm."
Brigitte thought for a moment, then said, "The Nine Trials of the Sea God... that means you have to pass nine additional trials, right? You're currently undergoing the Trial of the Blazing Sun God, which isn't something that can be accomplished overnight. What are your plans after that?"
"Let's absorb the soul bone first," Dongfang Jing said. "Only by pushing my soul power to level 90 or above can I successfully inherit the second godhood. Otherwise, it's all just empty talk."
...
As evening approached, Pearl Island came into view.
The island was already lit up, and it was clear that someone had made some preparations in advance.
Xiao Bai led them ashore, and the people on the island saw them from afar. The news was relayed back, and in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Purple Pearl appeared on the shore.
"Oh, finally here!" Purple Pearl strode over. "I've been waiting for so many days, is everything done?"
Dongfang Jing nodded and said, "I came to keep the appointment after I finished my business."
Purple Pearl laughed heartily: "That's right! Come, come, everything has been prepared, we've been waiting for you!"
The banquet on the island was grand, but not in a restrained way; rather, it was lively and bustling with noise.
Purple Pearl's old subordinates, who had all met Dongfang Jing a few years ago, knew what weight this silver-haired youth held in front of their boss. So, they served dishes and poured wine as appropriate, and the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.
Dongfang Jing didn't eat much during the meal. He spent most of the time listening to Zi Zhenzhu talk about how she had conquered the pirate groups, the situation on the island, and the changes that had occurred in the surrounding seas. Dongfang Jing would occasionally ask a question or two.
Seeing that more and more pirates were toasting him, Dongfang Jing found an excuse to leave and leaned against a tree trunk to watch them.
