["Because I rejected the Sea God's trial"]
[A simple sentence and a calm voice, yet it rang in Bibi Dong's ears like a thunderclap.]
[Her eyes stared blankly at Yu Xiaogang, and question marks flashed continuously through her mind.]
[Rejected, rejected, rejected...]
["You actually rejected it?!!"]
[Bibi Dong let out a sharp, piercing shriek.]
[Ever since she had known Yu Xiaogang, this was the first time she had lost her composure like this.]
[After all, this was an Opportunity to become a god, yet Yu Xiaogang rejected it?]
["Are you stupid? Is this something you can reject? Do you know the significance of reaching level one hundred and becoming a god?"]
["That is the dream of a Titled Douluo. Even someone like the High Priest can only pray beneath the statue of the Angel God all day long."]
["You actually rejected it?!"]
[Bibi Dong hugged her head with both hands, feeling for the first time that such an incredible thing could exist in Life.]
["Sigh, do you think I wanted to reject it?"]
["When I met the Sea God, he made it very clear. If I want to inherit his God Position, I must first do one thing. If I don't do this thing, I cannot become his successor."]
["Yet, no matter what, I simply cannot agree to this matter."]
[Yu Xiaogang sighed. He had known Bibi Dong would react this way.]
[Of course, probably only the people closest to him, like Bibi Dong and his father, would have this reaction upon knowing about this.]
[Others would probably only mock him in their hearts.]
["...What did the Sea God ask you to do?"]
[Hearing Yu Xiaogang's explanation, Bibi Dong quickly calmed down. Then, her brow furrowed tightly, and her tone carried a hint of heaviness.]
[She understood as soon as Yu Xiaogang explained. Obviously, the Sea God had stated some condition that Yu Xiaogang could not possibly fulfill.]
[Everyone has their own bottom line, and Bibi Dong herself had things she could never do even if it meant forsaking her Life.]
["He asked me to give up the little dragon, saying he would change my Spirit for me."]
[As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang summoned the little dragon.]
[Emerging with a flash of light, the little dragon immediately rested on Yu Xiaogang's shoulder, rubbing its head against Yu Xiaogang's cheek.]
[As Yu Xiaogang's Spirit, the little dragon shared the same heart and mind with Yu Xiaogang, so it had long known about Yu Xiaogang rejecting the Sea God Position.]
[The little dragon did not feel that it was inferior to a God Position.]
[However, as a part of Yu Xiaogang, the initiative still lay with Yu Xiaogang, and the final result made the little dragon very happy.]
[It was the chosen party, and the abandoned party was something all Spirit Masters dreamed of.]
[In this World, nothing could bring more a sense of security than being chosen without hesitation when placed on opposite ends of a balance scale.]
["Giving up the little dragon, changing for a Spirit..."]
[Bibi Dong was also stunned.]
[Looking at the scene of the little dragon and Yu Xiaogang interacting before her, her first reaction was that it was reasonable.]
[That Sea God truly picked something that Yu Xiaogang could never possibly do.]
[Having spent all these years with Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong knew very well what kind of person Yu Xiaogang was.]
[Towards strangers he did not know, Yu Xiaogang could still treat them with kindness. For instance, walking on the streets of Spirit City, if he encountered an elderly person who accidentally fell, Yu Xiaogang would step forward to help them up.]
[If he was like that towards strangers, let alone people close to Yu Xiaogang.]
[For someone who truly walked into Yu Xiaogang's heart, Yu Xiaogang would never hesitate to risk everything he had to repay them.]
[And the little dragon was clearly such an existence.]
[Compared to Yu Yuanzhen, who had cared for and cherished Yu Xiaogang since childhood, the little dragon was an existence that had accompanied Yu Xiaogang's side ever since the Martial Soul Awakening period.]
[In the beginning, because Yu Xiaogang's Innate Soul Power was too low, it caused the little dragon to undergo a malicious mutation, mutating into the appearance resembling a pig.]
[Later, after discovering the little dragon's special nature, Yu Xiaogang and the little dragon studied together and grew together.]
[Then, by absorbing spirit rings, the little dragon gradually evolve.]
[Then the two fought side by side, continued to study, and researched together.]
[It could be said that in Yu Xiaogang's heart, the little dragon's status was completely no less than his father's.]
[Accompanying him from the lowest point of his Life to this day, during this process, the only ones by Yu Xiaogang's side were his own father and the little dragon.]
[To make Yu Xiaogang give up the little dragon was no different from directly killing his own father; how could Yu Xiaogang possibly agree?]
[Understanding the reason for Yu Xiaogang's rejection, Bibi Dong was no longer surprised, nor did she dwell on Yu Xiaogang's rejection. Everything became a matter of course.]
[Bibi Dong was even somewhat happy.]
[She was happy that Yu Xiaogang maintained his bottom line in the face of such temptation.]
[Bibi Dong had heard plenty of stories in Spirit City about someone abandoning their family and children and forsaking everything in pursuit of an Opportunity.]
[In front of becoming a god, those so-called Opportunities were simply not worth mentioning.]
[However, she hadn't been happy for long before Bibi Dong suddenly reacted.]
["So, this Seagod Nine Trials of mine—was it only after the Sea God chose you and you rejected it that he chose me instead?"]
[Thinking this through, Bibi Dong couldn't hold it together anymore.]
[So in the eyes of the Sea God, I was just a backup option after Yu Xiaogang was ruled out?!!]
["Uh... how could it not be?"]
[Yu Xiaogang revealed a teasing smile.]
["You—do you have any conscience at all? I'm already like this and you're still laughing at me?!"]
[Seeing Yu Xiaogang's smile, Bibi Dong felt even more uncomfortable.]
["Actually, you should think about it this way: there are so many people on the Douluo Continent. Your teacher is formidable, the High Priest is formidable, and that High Priestess is formidable—"]
["Yet none of them ultimately became the inheritor of a god, but you managed to do it."]
["Thinking about it this way, aren't you much happier?"]
[Yu Xiaogang gave a few examples, and after hearing them, Bibi Dong indeed felt much more comfortable.]
[That's right, her own teacher was the majestic and noble Spirit Hall Supreme Pontiff, with countless people kneeling at his feet. Yet before the Angel God, he couldn't even obtain the qualifications for a Gods Trial.]
[Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi—one was the Spirit Hall High Priest, the other was the Sea God Island High Priestess; one was invincible in the skies, and the other was invincible in the oceans.]
[What glorious identities were these, yet they still could not gain the favor of the Angel God and the Sea God.]
[Yet she had done it!]
[Making such a comparison, it seemed to truly prove her extraordinariness.]
["Therefore, don't get upset first whenever something happens, and don't just fix your gaze on those standing above you; look down more often."]
["Then you will realize that you are actually quite remarkable."]
[Yu Xiaogang said sincerely.]
[Although everything he had now was indeed good, Yu Xiaogang certainly did not feel that this was the best it could get.]
[After all, the Sea God had said so: the Divine Realm, the Divine Realm. Clearly, above the Douluo Continent, there was still a World belonging to gods.]
[Who knew how those gods lived within that so-called Divine Realm, and what kind of proud sons of heaven the descendants of those gods were.]
