"Yes, Ma'am."
Seahorse Douluo bowed slightly to Bo Saixi, pushed his spirit power, and began to use the Light of the Sea God for the final time today.
A blue light appeared on the Seahorse Holy Pillar.
Then, the color of the light began to change—from blue to purple, and then to black.
The black magic pattern successfully passed through two-thirds of the Seahorse Holy Pillar, and then the black hue transformed into blood red. The blood-colored magic pattern suddenly surged forth.
Moreover, this time the blood-colored magic pattern was identical to Shui Bing'er's earlier situation—it didn't slowly creep up, but instead shot straight to the pinnacle of the Seahorse Holy Pillar in an instant.
A humming sound, like the ocean choking, echoed from the Seahorse Holy Pillar. A blood-red light shot straight into the sky. The sea within the sea boiled violently. At this moment, the entire sea raised a colossal wave, soaring a hundred meters high into the sky. From within that massive wave, a strong blue light burst out.
"Same situation as mine."
Shui Bing'er was shocked and murmured, "Ye Feng must've also received the Nine Tests of the Sea God."
"Nine Tests of Poseidon?"
Seahorse Douluo was stunned and turned toward the high priestess Bo Saixi beside him. "My lord, there's no room for two tigers on one mountain. Are there going to be two Sea Gods on Sea God Island?"
"This is the first time I've seen something like this." Bo Saixi frowned. "The Nine Tests of Sea God are different from the top-level red test. Receiving the Nine Tests doesn't guarantee success in completing them. Perhaps even Lord Poseidon is weighing who should inherit his divine position. I believe Lord Poseidon intends to create a competition—whichever candidate finishes first will be chosen as his successor."
Whether it was Shui Bing'er or Ye Feng, both were once-in-a-millennium geniuses. Shui Bing'er had already received the Nine Tests of Sea God, and Ye Feng, whose talent rivaled hers, would naturally qualify as well.
But is it really just the Nine Tests of Poseidon?
Ye Feng couldn't help thinking that.
The transformation wasn't over yet. The entirety of Sea God Island trembled under the radiance of the blood-red light rising from the Seahorse Holy Pillar. At the same time, blood-red lights shot up from the other six Holy Pillars across Sea God Island.
Seven beams of red light converged into a single point in the air. In the next moment, that blood-red hue faded, replaced by a brilliant golden light descending from the sky.
All motion ceased. Everything froze in time—everything, except the glorious and Holy golden light descending from the heavens, centered between sea and sky.
When that divine ray of light pierced into Ye Feng's forehead, he would receive the Nine Tests of Poseidon.
Ye Feng smiled faintly in his heart.
Is it really just the Nine Tests of Sea god?
He had a system. A stubborn, disobedient system. Receiving just the Nine Tests of Sea God felt like child's play to him.
"Tch~"
Ye Feng felt a burst of pride in his chest, though he still envied her.
"Even Shui Bing'er managed to get the Nine Tests. Whoever completes them can inherit the Sea God's position. But that's just a first-level god. Above that is the Supreme God—and above even them, countless deities roam the stars. Tang Chen received the Supreme God's Asura Test. Damn, that's enviable."
"Ding Dong!"
"The system has detected that the host is envious of Tang Chen for receiving the Supreme God Asura's test. The host is the system's chosen one—yet he's out here getting jealous? The system is pissed. The system has decided to evolve the host's Nine Tests of the Sea God."
Evolve?
Ye Feng froze.
Suddenly, the golden light descending from the sky came to a halt. All of time and space seemed to freeze. Subtle energies began seeping out from all things.
It was a minuscule amount of energy—nearly negligible for any living being. It drew essence from everyone present: Qian Renxue, Shui Bing'er, Poseidon Douluo, Bo Saixi herself, and more.
Though each contribution was tiny, together, the accumulated energy was vast enough to make even an Ultimate Douluo like Bo Saixi tremble.
That stripped energy merged into the brilliant golden light. Then, it changed.
The golden glow turned gray.
A cold, lifeless gray.
It descended slowly from the sky's center point.
As it emerged, the entire Sea God Island was blanketed in that same deathly hue—from the Seven Holy Pillars, to the forests, the hills, even the sea itself. All creatures, including the sea spirit masters, were dyed in gray light.
That gray light had only one destination: Ye Feng, standing motionless beneath the Seahorse Holy Pillar.
The gray light showed no dramatic flair—no beams, no curtains—it simply pierced straight into Ye Feng's brow.
Suddenly, information poured into Ye Feng's mind.
It was brief—just a few simple words:
Conquer Sea God Island.
The moment the light entered him, Ye Feng felt his entire body bathed in a cool liquid. An indescribable sense of comfort washed over him.
"Great Priestess, what level of test is this?"
Seahorse Douluo's eyes widened at the gray marking on Ye Feng's forehead—it formed a tree. A gray tree.
"I've never seen this kind of test before," Bo Saixi said seriously. She approached Ye Feng and asked, "What's your name?"
"Ye Feng."
"Ye as in leaf, Feng as in peak. Leaf Peak."
"Ye Feng, what kind of test did you receive?"
"A creation test."
"The First Test of Creation?" Bo Saixi was visibly stunned. He asked again, "You said it's your first test?"
Not only Poseidon but even Seahorse Douluo was stunned by this.
On Sea God Island, there are white-level first tests and yellow-level first tests—those are the lowest-tier tests. But Ye Feng had just passed a gray first test.
"Yes," Ye Feng nodded.
"Gray-level test?" Bo Saixi fell deep into thought.
The higher the divine test level, the greater the number of trials required.
But Bo Saixi had never heard of a gray-level first test. She decided she would search through ancient texts to understand what it could mean.
But the truth was, Bo Saixi was overthinking it.
Sometimes, when something reaches the very limit of existence, it circles back to become deceptively simple.
This gray-level test that Ye Feng received was actually the Ultimate Test of the God of Creation.
There was only one requirement: Conquer Sea God Island.
Once completed, Ye Feng would become the God of Creation.
The God of Creation—capable of birthing all things. The true ancestor of existence. Above even the five Supreme Gods.
