Chapter 142 Bo Saixi's Compromise
Su Mo pointed to the steps ahead and said:
"This is the Sea God's Light. The pressure on the steps will increase with each step. When you reach your limit, you can try cultivating on the spot."
"Then you will discover the wonders of this place."
Upon hearing this, the three women, including Bibi Dong, were eager to try and walked toward the Sea God's Light with expectant expressions.
They were all quite strong now.
Before long, Bibi Dong ascended directly to the thirty-eighth step.
Ah Yin and Ye Qingshuang stopped at the thirtieth step.
At this point, all three women had reached their limits.
Following Su Mo's instructions, they sat down cross-legged on the spot and began cultivating.
Soon, they experienced the wonder of the Sea God's Light and were filled with joy.
In this way, they could catch up with Su Mo's pace more quickly.
Seeing that the three women had entered a meditative state, Su Mo looked at Bo Saixi and said,
"Bo Saixi, let's go to the Sea God Temple."
Although Bo Saixi didn't know what Su Mo was planning to do, she nodded without hesitation.
The two figures flashed and instantly arrived at the Sea God Temple atop Sea God Mountain.
The main hall was dimly lit, spacious, and solemn.
"Xixi, try contacting the Sea God. I need to speak with him about something."
Bo Saixi nodded and attempted to communicate with the Sea God.
Su Mo stood to the side with his arms crossed, waiting quietly.
Before long, a golden light suddenly shone through the originally dark Sea God Temple, illuminating the entire hall.
Immediately afterward, a blue phantom slowly condensed into shape in mid-air.
He was tall and imposing, his face obscured, but his vast divine power inspired awe in all who beheld him.
Upon seeing the phantom of the Sea God, Bo Saixi immediately knelt down, her tone extremely respectful:
"Bo Saixi pays her respects to the Sea God!"
Su Mo, standing to the side, remained neither humble nor arrogant, cupping his hands in salute.
"This junior greets the Sea God."
The Sea God's voice was devoid of emotion:
"Successor of Asura, what business do you have with me?"
Su Mo straightened up and looked calmly at the Sea God.
"Since the Sea God has left a place of inheritance here, you must be searching for a suitable successor, right?"
The Sea God did not deny it.
"That's right."
"The Sea God's inheritance has remained among mortals for many years, waiting for a successor who can inherit my divine position."
"Unfortunately, after all these years, I still haven't met the right person."
At this moment, Su Mo reached out and pulled Bo Saixi up from the ground.
"Xixi is now my woman."
"Since the Sea God is looking for a successor, would you be so kind as to pass the Sea God's divine position to her for my sake?"
Bo Saixi turned sharply to look at Su Mo, her eyes filled with disbelief.
What did she hear?
A divine position?
The divine position of the Sea God?
To be passed on to her?
What merit did she possess to deserve this?
Bo Saixi was completely stunned.
The Sea God was also stunned for a moment.
No... it hadn't even been a day.
This kid had not only killed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King he had prepared for his successor, but had also won over his High Priest.
And now he actually wanted him to pass the Sea God's divine position to Bo Saixi?
Although Bo Saixi's talent was indeed remarkable, after so many years of cultivation, her strength ranked among the very best on the continent.
But she was ultimately only his High Priest, and there was still a long way to go before she could inherit a divine throne.
If she were truly qualified to inherit the divine position, there would have been no need for Su Mo to bring it up at all.
He would have abandoned his divine position and left long ago, so why was he still waiting here for a successor?
If it weren't for the fact that Su Mo was the inheritor of the Asura God, the Sea God would have wanted to strike him on the spot.
This kid was really pushing his luck.
But then he thought about it again.
Now that Bo Saixi was Su Mo's woman, and the Asura God protected Su Mo like his own son.
If he offended Su Mo, wouldn't that be the same as offending the Asura God?
Although his strength ranked among the top gods in the Divine Realm, he was ultimately no match for a God King.
The Sea God remained silent for a long time, and the atmosphere throughout the hall became heavy.
"...I'll think about it."
After uttering those words, the phantom vanished instantly along with the golden light.
The main hall fell into darkness once more.
Bo Saixi looked somewhat apprehensive.
"Su Mo, what virtue or ability do I possess? How dare I presume to inherit the Sea God's divine position?"
It wasn't that she wasn't tempted, but rather that she felt unworthy.
The Sea God was the deity she had worshipped her entire life.
To be allowed to inherit the Sea God's position felt like a dream.
Su Mo turned around and raised his hand to stroke her cheek.
"Xixi, you are my woman."
"You are not allowed to say such things again."
Bo Saixi's eyes instantly reddened, and tears welled up within them.
Su Mo gently wiped the corner of her eye, his tone tender.
"Although I can take you directly to the Divine Realm, without a divine position, you can only be an ordinary priest."
"But you are my woman."
"How can you be just an ordinary priest?"
Bo Saixi's voice choked with emotion.
"Thank you... Su Mo..."
"Why are you being so polite with me?"
Su Mo smiled and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin atop her head as a sweet fragrance wafted toward him.
Bo Saixi hugged him tightly and buried her face in his chest.
At that moment, she felt like the happiest woman in the world.
...
The Divine Realm, the Asura Temple.
A blue figure appeared in the hall.
It was the Sea God.
He looked unwell, his brows furrowed.
"Asura, aren't you going to do anything about that brat Su Mo? He's just taking advantage of me!"
The Asura God sat lazily on his throne, looking at him with great interest.
"Oh? What happened? Tell me about it."
The Sea God took a deep breath, his tone growing increasingly dissatisfied.
"It's one thing for him to hunt down the Deep Sea Demon Whale King; he killed it through his own ability, so I won't say anything."
"But he's also a womanizer. I don't know when he won over my High Priest."
"Just now, he even wanted me to pass my divine throne to Bo Saixi!"
The Asura God raised an eyebrow, a playful smile appearing on his face.
"Oh?"
"Bo Saixi? That girl has decent talent, doesn't she?"
"To become your High Priest, her potential must be quite good."
"Since she's already Su Mo's woman, why don't you give me some face and pass the divine position to her?"
"Wouldn't it be wonderful if we traveled the universe together afterward?"
The Sea God opened his mouth, but before he could say anything—
The Asura God continued:
"That kid is very protective of his own."
"If you refuse him, and he comes after you in the Divine Realm because of this, you'll never find a successor."
The Sea God: "..."
He originally came to find the Asura God to discipline Su Mo.
But he didn't expect the Asura God to be exactly the same as Su Mo.
No, he was even worse than Su Mo.
A dignified God King, yet he had no sense of propriety whatsoever. All he wanted was to watch the spectacle.
Damn it.
He shouldn't have come.
The Sea God sighed deeply.
"So be it."
Anyway, all he wanted was to run away as soon as possible and travel the universe.
This time, he would just consider it doing the Asura God a favor.
As for the rules of the Divine Examination?
He was the one who created all of them.
If he wanted to change them, he could change them however he pleased.
"I'm leaving now."
The Sea God turned and left the Asura Temple.
