Chapter 277: Poseidon: "Where's My Trident? Bring It to Me!"
"Go on, keep talking!"
Asura crossed his arms, watching Poseidon's performance as if enjoying a show.
And yet, he still gave this guy some face by calling him "Brother Asura"…
If they hadn't come from the same plane, Asura wouldn't have even bothered to remind Poseidon. But still, this guy turned out to be nothing more than a boorish god!
"Heh heh…"
Poseidon was momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond.
Then, suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Brother Asura, you know, I've always had a regret that I want to make up for."
"If I want to leave, I have to pass on my divine position."
"I've found a successor with extraordinary talent. Once he inherits my godhood, he'll definitely reach the level of a God King within a century at most!"
"Such a promising talent shouldn't be wasted inheriting the position of some lower deity, don't you think?"
"You agree, right?"
At first, Asura remained expressionless as Poseidon spoke, but the more he listened, the more something felt off. His face darkened.
Not only did Poseidon want to steal his chosen successor, but he even implied that Asura was a mere lower deity!
How was this any different from directly challenging him?
"Brother Asura, tell me—who is the god planning to pass their position to Kong? I'll go have a word with them!"
Poseidon spoke with full confidence.
In the Divine Realm, only five gods stood above him: Kindness, Evil, Destruction, Life, and Asura.
Yes, that included Asura standing right in front of him.
Poseidon wasn't weak by any means. At this point, the gap between him and Asura was only one rank!
The difference between a peak First-Class God and a God King.
Currently, in the Divine Realm, there were officially two recognized God Kings: Kindness and Evil.
However, beyond them, Destruction, Life, and Asura had all reached the God King level as well. They just weren't called "God Kings" but rather "Divine Realm Enforcers."
Aside from those five, in one-on-one combat, Poseidon feared no other deity!
Seeing Asura's face darken without saying a word, Poseidon quickly added, "Brother Asura, just tell me! Such a gifted talent shouldn't be wasted!"
"You're not seriously playing dumb, are you?"
"Brother, what do you mean?"
Poseidon was stunned. Why would he need to play dumb?
"He's my successor."
"???"
Hearing those words, Poseidon was completely dumbfounded. His expression twisted into something indescribable.
No wonder! No wonder Asura had rushed over so quickly!
He had barely exchanged a few words with Kong before Asura had already arrived on the scene.
That speed was terrifying!
Alright… so Kong was Asura's chosen successor…
"Asura! I finally got excited about something, and you just had to crush me completely! I'm not letting this go!"
"Where's my trident? Bring it to me!"
Asura: "…"
Watching Poseidon throw a tantrum, Asura furrowed his brows. It seemed it had been too long since he last put Poseidon in his place…
Meanwhile, back on Kong's side.
Poseidon's divine soul suddenly fell silent, as if he had gone into hibernation. This left Kong speechless.
Shaking his head, he stored the Heart of the Sea God into his spatial soul tool.
Let's see when this guy decides to wake up.
When he does, they'll have a little talk about whether Yu Yuanzhen "can" inherit the Sea God's position.
It should be fine, right?
If not, well… a visit to the Divine Realm to have a chat with Poseidon might be necessary.
"Kong, what just happened?"
Qian Renxue asked curiously. Earlier, Kong had seemed a little off—she had been waving in front of his face for a while, but he hadn't reacted at all.
"Nothing much. Just had a chat with the Sea God's divine soul. He wants to pass the Sea God's position to me."
Kong waved his hand dismissively, looking completely indifferent.
Among First-Class Gods, the Sea God wasn't exactly "poor"—just look at the treatment that Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue received as divine inheritors compared to Tang San in the original story. The difference was simply incomparable!
Bibi Dong? Other than granting her a divine position, the Rakshasa God gave her nothing.
Even the Rakshasa Divine Weapon was just a transformation of Bibi Dong's own spirit bone.
Qian Renxue had it slightly better—she at least received the divine armor, divine weapon, and the final reserves of the Spirit Hall left behind by the Angel God.
And Tang San?
Increased spirit ring lifespan, divine-bestowed spirit rings, divine weapons, dual godhood, and even the Sea God's divine soul personally assisting him three times!
As for the Asura Nine Trials? His great-grandfather helped him pass the first eight… helped!
During the final battle, both the Sea God and Asura personally intervened—reviving Tang San!
All were divine inheritors, yet the first two seemed like they had been picked up off the street in comparison.
Hearing this, Qian Renxue blinked, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.
Wasn't Kong already a divine inheritor?
Why would the Sea God still want to pass his divine position to him?
But she didn't ask further.
"Kong, once we've finished matters here in the Heaven Dou Empire, I'll return to Spirit City and attempt to inherit my ancestor's legacy."
"If I succeed, then we'll truly be able to be together forever."
Qian Renxue spoke with genuine emotion.
It's not that people dislike "love-brained" individuals—it's just that the affection isn't directed at them!
"Hmm."
Kong nodded. He didn't say anything about making Qian Renxue wait for him to become a god first.
By the time Qian Renxue started her divine inheritance trial, he should have already broken through to the god level.
"Don't go back tonight, okay?"
"Wouldn't that be a bit… disruptive?"
As if making up her mind about something, Qian Renxue waved her hand firmly and said, completely unfazed, "Not at all. Kong, I'll take you to the secret chamber—I have a project to discuss with you!"
"Hiss~ What kind of project?"
"A project worth several hundred million gold soul coins!"
—
Time passed.
The next morning, when Kong walked out of the Crown Prince's residence, his face was filled with an indescribable expression.
Was this really not hereditary?
Secret chamber?
What a secret chamber!
What a several-hundred-million-gold-soul-coin project!
Could this be the Qian family's ancestral craft?
Qian Daoliu: "…"
Shaking his head, Kong returned alone to his hotel and began his seclusion training.
A real seclusion!
He swore he wouldn't leave until he reached the Title Douluo realm!
From that moment, one less rich young man roamed the streets of Heaven Dou City. With Kong in seclusion, news about him gradually faded, until he became a legend.
A legend of a boy, not even fifteen years old, who single-handedly faced the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.
A youth who, with the strength of a Spirit Douluo, "barely" managed to defeat them and secured the first-ever All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament championship for the empire!
As for the boy's name, it was slowly forgotten—only one word remained in people's memory:
Kong.
—
Time flowed like water…
In the blink of an eye, three years passed.
"???"
Kong was full of question marks.
He had only been in seclusion for three years—how had he become a legend?
By now, Kong had fully grown into a young man. His long golden hair draped neatly over his shoulders.
"I said I'd leave once I reached level ninety, and now I'm already at ninety…"
