Chapter 187 Poseidon's Hypocrisy! Poseidon, do you know your crime?!
Boom!
These words resounded like thunder in the ears of the Seven Pillars Guardians and Xiaobai.
A sacrifice?
Go to hell?
They never knew that such a cruel truth was hidden behind the Nine Trials of the Sea God.
"This...this is impossible..."
Xiao Bai's eyes widened. As a soul beast, she was extremely loyal to the Sea God, but hearing Poseidon say such words in person, her worldview began to crumble.
"I also hope that's impossible."
Poseidon closed her eyes, two lines of tears sliding down her cheeks. "But the facts are right in front of me. Whether it's that video or the fate predicted by Emperor Lu, I have no choice but to believe it."
I'm tired.
Poseidon released his grip, and the scepter of the sea god, representing supreme power, fell to the ground with a clatter and rolled down the steps.
"From today onwards, I'm not serving you anymore."
"That Tang San, that Poseidon, let whoever wants to serve them serve them."
"I'm resigning from this position as the Grand Priest of Poseidon Island!"
After saying this, Poseidon seemed to have exhausted all her strength, slumped into her chair, and refused to look at the audience again.
Hailong Douluo and the others stared at the scepter rolling on the ground, then at Poseidon, who seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. They were all dumbfounded, their hearts filled with turbulent waves.
The sky over Poseidon Island...
Things have really changed.
Inside the Poseidon Temple.
The scepter of the sea god that had rolled down the steps suddenly began to tremble on its own, and its originally dim golden light suddenly surged, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.
A vast and boundless divine power descended from the sky, directly targeting Poseidon, who was slumped in a chair.
The seven guardian pillars and the demon soul great white shark, Little White, inside the hall found it difficult to even breathe in the face of this power. Their knees buckled, and they knelt on the ground once again.
In mid-air, a golden phantom slowly condensed into shape.
It was the image of a middle-aged man wearing golden armor and holding a trident. His face was dignified, yet carried a hint of aloof indifference.
Poseidon, the god of the sea.
"Poseidon, do you know your crime?"
Poseidon's voice echoed throughout the hall, making everyone's eardrums ache.
Poseidon raised her head and looked at the god she had worshipped all her life. Her eyes no longer held the awe she once had, but were filled with desolation.
"What crime have I committed?"
Poseidon tried to stand up, but the oppressive aura pressed her firmly back into the chair.
Poseidon sneered, "The position of High Priest is a divine honor. You bear the heavy responsibility of initiating the nine trials of the Sea God and guiding the successor. Now that the successor is about to arrive, you want to shirk your duties? Who gave you the audacity!"
He was referring to Tang San.
In Poseidon's script, Tang San is his carefully chosen successor, a twin martial soul, and the chosen one.
And Poseidon is an indispensable part of this script.
Without Poseidon as a sacrifice, the gate to the Sea God's position could not be fully opened, and Tang San could not become a god.
This is the rule, and also the mission Poseidon was born to fulfill.
"glory?"
Poseidon burst into laughter, tears streaming down his face. "Poseidon, at a time like this, you're still talking to me about honor?"
"Your so-called glory is just keeping me here like a pig or a dog, so that when your successor comes, I can give my life to pave the way for him?"
"What you need is a sacrifice at the level of a Limit Douluo, not a Grand Offering!"
Upon hearing this, the Sea Dragon Douluo and the others kneeling on the ground trembled violently.
Although Lu Ming had mentioned it in the group chat earlier, hearing Poseidon confirm it in person in front of the sea god was a completely different experience.
It turns out that the great offering they revered was, in the eyes of the sea god, truly just a disposable consumable.
Poseidon frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
He didn't understand how Poseidon knew all this.
The matter of the sacrifice was known only to the chief priests of each generation on their deathbeds; it was impossible for others to know.
"presumptuous!"
Poseidon roared, and his terrifying divine power pressed down like a tsunami: "As a servant of the gods, it is your destiny to sacrifice yourself for them! To become a stepping stone for the ascension of a new god is the blessing you have earned in this life!"
"Not only are you ungrateful, but you're also spouting nonsense and undermining morale!"
"I originally intended to give you some face because of your years of hard work. Since you are so ungrateful, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Poseidon lost his patience.
Tang San will be here soon, and he can't let this crucial link, Poseidon, go wrong.
Since she doesn't want to do it, then force her to do it.
As long as she is kept under house arrest in the Sea God Temple, and Tang San passes the first eight trials, whether or not she is to be sacrificed will be out of her control.
The golden divine power transformed into a cage, directly enveloping Poseidon.
...
Tian Dou City, Blue Tyrant Academy.
The dormitory building was filled with steam.
Lu Ming had just come out of the bathroom, wearing a loose bathrobe and with his hair still wet.
He grabbed a towel and wiped himself, then walked to the window and sat down.
It was already late at night, but the chat group was bustling with activity.
The recent revelations brought the group's activity to a peak, and Lu Ming also benefited greatly from it.
His consciousness sank into his sea of consciousness, where messages were rapidly scrolling across the screen that only he could see.
His Holiness the Pope: "@Emperor Lu, Mr. Lu, you just said you could see through fate, could you also take a look at mine? I've been stuck in the Rakshasa Secret Realm for so many years, when will I finally be able to take that step?"
Bibi Dong's tone was very polite, even somewhat ingratiating.
In this group, whoever has the bigger fist is right.
The methods Lu Ming displayed were so powerful that even a peerless Douluo like Poseidon would have to kneel before him, so naturally Bibi Dong would have to lower her stance as well.
I have no mother: "Ha, old woman, with your wicked heart, you want to become a god? I think this is all you'll ever be."
Qian Renxue spoke with the air of a seasoned Yin-Yang Master.
Even in the group chat, she and Bibi Dong were always at loggerheads.
If Bibi Dong were to find out Qian Renxue's identity, she would probably storm the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.
His Holiness the Pope: "Some ill-mannered little girls, if they don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
Little Witch: "Um... I also think His Holiness the Pope's future might not be so good. Didn't Brother Lu say before that the Spirit Hall was eventually destroyed by that Tang San?"
Wanting a sweet romance: "Exactly! That Tang San is too bad, he'll definitely fight the Spirit Hall."
The fox, the most innocent of all: "You're not allowed to talk about the teacher! The teacher is so strong, how could he possibly lose to someone like Tang San!"
Poison Fairy: "What's the use of being strong? Wasn't Senior Poseidon strong? He was still used as a tool by the Sea God. These days, no matter how strong you are, you're still afraid of murder mystery games."
The group chat was in complete chaos.
Lu Ming looked at these messages and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
