Douluo Continent: Blue Silver Becomes a God, Everlasting Forever!

Chapter 49 The Seventh Trial of the Sea God: Reclaiming the Vast Ocean Universe Cover! Lan Yu, lying in wait?!

After more than a decade of forbearance and planning, he ultimately failed to reap the sweetest fruit.

But being able to completely overturn the chessboard before leaving is a testament to all the effort put in.

"Let's go, let's return to the Spirit Hall."

Qian Renxue took one last look at the brightly lit Tian Dou Imperial City, her eyes cold and resolute.

She thought she was the player who overturned the table, but little did she know that in the eyes of the true fisherman, she and the table she overturned were merely an appetizer in the final feast.

Three figures quickly disappeared into the vast night.

……

It's finally dawn.

The first rays of dawn pierced the darkness, illuminating the glazed tiles of the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

"what--!"

A piercing scream shattered the morning tranquility of the palace.

When a palace maid responsible for cleaning pushed open the door to Emperor Xueye's bedroom, she was so terrified by the hellish scene before her that she collapsed to the ground.

Soon, the palace guards, court sorcerers, imperial physicians... countless people surged into the emperor's bedroom like a tidal wave.

When they saw Emperor Xueye lying in a pool of blood, everyone's face turned deathly pale.

The sky of the Heaven Dou Empire has collapsed!
Just as all the ministers and generals were plunged into despair and chaos, one of the most experienced imperial physicians, while examining the corpse, suddenly let out an incredulous exclamation:

"Wait a moment!
"The Fourth Prince... the Fourth Prince is still breathing!"

what? !

All eyes immediately focused on Avalanche, who was also covered in blood and thought to be dead.

Several imperial physicians rushed over, their fingers trembling as they checked Xue Beng's breath and pulse.

Yes...it really is!

Though his pulse is so faint it could die at any moment, His Highness the Fourth Prince... he is still alive!

"Miracle!
This is simply a miracle!

"quick!

Help!
"We must save His Highness the Fourth Prince at all costs!"

The entire palace instantly transformed from a deathly silence of despair into a frenzied hope!

On a snowy night, the Emperor passed away, and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was far away on patrol at the border and had not yet returned.

The other capable princes had already died "accidentally" in the power struggles of years past.

Now, the fourth prince, Xue Beng, who "survived a great calamity," has become the sole legitimate heir of the Heaven Dou royal family!

Soon, the traces left by the assassin were discovered.

The undisguised serpent spear spirit and the aura of deadly poison clearly pointed the finger at the Spirit Hall!

Anger, grief, and a shared sense of righteous indignation spread through the hearts of all the ministers.

The Fourth Prince Xue Beng, who slowly "opened" his eyes after receiving extensive treatment, no longer had the cowardice and confusion he once had in his eyes.

Instead, there was a sense of lingering fear, and an unprecedented, heart-pounding... resolve.

Poseidon Island.

Inside the magnificent Temple of Poseidon, Poseidon, dressed in a long red dress, with noble elegance, slowly opened her eyes.

Before her floated six emblems radiating divine light, signifying that she had successfully passed the first six of the nine trials of the Sea God.

As a level 99 Limit Douluo and the Sea God's representative on Earth, Poseidon's assessment of her was naturally extremely lenient.

Those trials that were life-or-death for the Shrek Seven Devils were nothing more than a formality for her.

"Congratulations, Poseidon."

The majestic yet gentle voice of the sea god echoed within the temple.

"You have completed the first six tests and are about to begin the seventh test."

"Please let me have divine guidance."

Poseidon bowed respectfully.

"The seventh test: retrieve the divine token," the voice of the sea god continued.

"Travel to the Douluo Continent, to the Heavenly Dou Empire's Imperial Palace, to retrieve a keepsake I left behind in the mortal realm—the Vast Ocean Universe Cover."

Bring it back to Poseidon Island, and your trial will be complete.

Vast Ocean Universe Cover?
Poseidon paused for a moment, then understood.

She knew that this artifact was the "bait" prepared by the sea god for his next successor, and also the key to unlocking the sea god's legacy.

Retrieving something from the mortal empire's treasury was easier for her than taking all six of the previous tests combined.

"As you command, my God."

Poseidon agreed without the slightest hesitation.

In Poseidon's view, this trip was nothing more than an easy journey.

The next moment, she transformed into a streak of blue light, soaring into the sky and riding the waves, speeding towards the Douluo Continent at a pace unimaginable to mortals.

……

Meanwhile, deep within the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, in a secret room heavily fortified by Lan Yu.

Lan Yu was playing with the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

Pure ocean power flows within, exuding a refreshing and invigorating aura.

Lan Yu could clearly sense that deep within the core of this divine artifact lay a wisp of extremely obscure yet highly powerful divine thought.

It was the divine thought belonging to Poseidon, the god of the sea.

"It really is a trap, and also a coordinate."

Lan Yu murmured to himself.

Anyone who attempts to refine this Vast Ocean Universe Cover will have their soul aura locked by this divine thought, thus being perceived by Poseidon, the sea god far away in the divine realm.

At that time, the sea god will present so-called "tests," guiding this person step by step to become his successor, ultimately binding him with the divine position.

Tang San's fate was meant to be this way.

"Unfortunately, I am not Tang San."

A hint of mockery flashed in Lan Yu's eyes.

Lan Yu did not rashly use his divine soul to touch it, nor did he even think of refining it.

For him, the greatest value of this thing was not the artifact itself, but the identity it represented as the "inheritance of the Sea God".

What he wanted was for this legacy to fall into the hands of someone he designated, someone completely under his control.

Now, it has another use—fishing.

A token that would prompt Poseidon, the god of the sea, to undertake his seventh trial to retrieve must attract someone of considerable importance.

Lan Yu's divine sense slowly spread out, like an invisible net, enveloping the entire Tian Dou City.

He was dealing with the power transition and public opinion storm that followed "Avalanche's" awakening.

They waited quietly for the "person who would pick up the package" to arrive.

a few days later.

While dealing with "political affairs," "Avalanche" (Lan Yu's clone) suddenly paused, his gaze seemingly piercing through the palace walls, looking towards the sky above Tian Dou City.

There, a vast and pure surge of soul power, like a star falling into a lake, descended silently.

This power is strong and noble, yet it carries an ancient aura of isolation from the world.

"Are you coming..."

Lan Yu's true form opened his eyes in the secret room, a playful smile playing on his lips.

"Poseidon, who initiated the Nine Trials of Poseidon... has arrived at the perfect time."

……

On a high tower in Tiandou City, Poseidon's figure quietly appeared.

Poseidon looked down at the magnificent city, which was even more prosperous than she remembered, but her brows furrowed slightly.

(I stayed up all night yesterday and didn't sleep until noon, but I ended up sleeping until the next day. So I'm sorry for the late update today. I'll try to update around midnight tomorrow. Thank you all for your support! I hope you won't leave the book unfinished.)
