While fending off Bo Saixi's attacks, Qian Xunji pondered, "What did I even say?

How did I make you wait twenty years?

Make it clear, don't try to ruin my reputation!"

Qian Xunji really forgot—what had he promised Bo Saixi?

Could he truly be a heartless, ungrateful scoundrel?

But there really was nothing between him and Bo Saixi.

Besides, he was still planning to claim the Sea God's God Position for himself.

Bo Saixi had become a Limit Douluo even before him, so she naturally didn't meet the System's cultivation conditions.

Therefore, Qian Xunji was determined to obtain this First-Class God position of the Sea God.

After all, it was hard to say just how many God Positions were being passed down across the entire Douluo Continent.

Gathering five First-Class God positions was no simple task.

As for Bo Saixi's Sacrifice, if she sacrificed herself, so be it. At worst, after he became the God of Creation in the future, he could just resurrect her.

This old woman!

"If you don't stop now, I'm going to spank your butt!"

Qian Xunji shouted in anger, causing Bo Saixi's attacks to come to a sudden halt, though she grew even more ashamed and enraged: "Qian Xunji!!!

You... you dare?!"

"Is there anything I wouldn't dare do?"

Qian Xunji refused to yield, though he didn't actually strike.

Spanking? No, that wouldn't do; this woman was old, and Qian Xunji didn't like women older than himself.

Even if she was exceptionally beautiful.

Besides, she already had someone in her heart. (Note: We try to follow the original work, but for plot necessity, there will be deviations. Please be aware.)

Bo Saixi gnashed her teeth, her elegant aura completely gone as a flush crept onto her breathtaking face.

In the end, however, she didn't attack any further.

Back when Qian Xunji left Sea God Island, she was already no match for him.

Now that over twenty years had passed, this guy's strength was undoubtedly even more terrifying.

"Where is the Sea God's Heart?"

Bo Saixi suppressed her anger and coldly stared at Qian Xunji.

Qian Xunji snorted lightly. "Is this how you ask for a favor?"

"You promised me. Twenty years ago, when you left Sea God Island, you promised to return.

That you would bring back the Sea God's Heart.

And you said it would take a year at most, or just a few days at least.

And the result?

Twenty years!"

Anger flared in Bo Saixi once more, her fingertips turning white as she gripped her golden scepter, looking as if she wanted to fight again.

"Did I say that?"

Qian Xunji blinked and turned to Ye Qingxian. "Did I say that?"

Ye Qingxian looked completely bewildered, pointing at herself. "Me?"

She didn't know how to answer. Twenty years ago, she wasn't even born yet, alright?

"Sorry, I really forgot."

Qian Xunji felt he probably had said it, but most likely just offhandedly.

Otherwise, with his Peerless Douluo Mental Power, there was no way he would forget.

Bo Saixi was about to go berserk again, the surrounding seawater already beginning to roar.

Qian Xunji shook his head gently as red Spirit Rings manifested one by one. "You are no match for me."

Bo Saixi froze. Looking at Qian Xunji's Spirit Rings, an incredulous light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Your... the age of your Spirit Rings, how is that possible?

When you left Sea God Island, you were only six black and three red.

Did you take the Angel God's assessment?"

That was the only explanation.

But the Angel God Trial and the Sea God Trial should be similar.

Given Qian Xunji's strength, he should have become a god by now.

Why was he still Level 99?

"You don't need to worry about that. All you need to know is that you are no match for me."

Qian Xunji withdrew his Spirit Rings, then retrieved the Sea God's Heart. "I can give you the Sea God's Heart.

However, I have one condition."

Seeing that Qian Xunji had indeed brought back the Sea God's Heart, Bo Saixi's expression brightened. "What condition? State it first."

"Let these two undergo the Sea God's Divine Trial."

Qian Xunji pointed at Ye Qingxian and Ah Yin.

Bo Saixi glanced at Ye Qingxian, then her eyes settled on Ah Yin. "A 100,000-year Soul Beast that transformed into human form?"

"Don't worry about that. They are both my people."

"Your people?"

Bo Saixi narrowed her beautiful eyes and snorted softly. "They could also participate in the Angel God Trial.

That would be much more convenient than the Sea God Trial."

"It's different.

Give me a straight yes or no.

Besides, now that the Sea God's Heart has returned to its place,

if one of them can trigger the Seagod Nine Trials, you must not stop her."

Bo Saixi fell silent, her gaze toward Qian Xunji dimming slightly.

She seemed somewhat disappointed.

But she quickly composed her feelings and extended her delicate hand. "Give it to me."

Qian Xunji handed over the Sea God's Heart. After receiving it, Bo Saixi turned around and walked toward Sea God Island.

"Follow me."

Her voice was somewhat cold. Qian Xunji curled his lip; women were truly impossible to understand.

Young girls were much easier to get along with.

Ye Qingxian and Ah Yin didn't have such bad tempers; they did whatever he asked, in whatever position he wanted.

Sea God Island covered a considerable area, with a population of a million. The Sea God Seven Sacred Pillars were designated as Forbidden Lands, off-limits without special permission.

Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar.

When High Priestess Bo Saixi arrived, Sea Dragon Douluo instantly awoke from his doze.

"Greetings, High Priestess."

"Sea Dragon Douluo, these two girls will undergo the Sea God Trial.

Initiate the Sacred Pillar test for them."

Bo Saixi didn't waste words. Sea Dragon Douluo nodded upon hearing this, though as he moved, he glanced at Qian Xunji.

Of course he recognized Qian Xunji; after all, twenty years ago, he was already a Sacred Pillar Guardian.

He still remembered the terror of being dominated by Qian Xunji.

This guy was already a Spirit Douluo when he came to Sea God Island, and when he left, he was a full-fledged Peerless Douluo.

His Talent was extremely terrifying.

Coming this time, he actually brought two young girls... disciples?

They were indeed both very pretty; he wondered how their Talent was.

"Please!"

Seahorse Douluo was very polite and omitted the trial segment prior to starting the test.

The Seahorse Sacred Pillar stood on a platform; there were no complex buildings around, just a vast grassland.

"Who will step forward first?"

Sea Dragon Douluo spoke, and Ah Yin and Ye Qingxian exchanged glances.

"I'll go first."

Sensible as always, Ah Yin walked up close to the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.

"Place your hand on the Sacred Pillar and release your Martial Soul."

Seahorse Douluo naturally recognized Ah Yin's true identity, but since the High Priestess said nothing, he wouldn't say anything either.

After the Blue Silver Emperor evolved, its texture was like gold and jade. Four Spirit Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, black—slowly rose up.

Seeing this Spirit Ring ratio, Sea Dragon Douluo looked slightly surprised, but quickly regained his calm.

This setup was far inferior to Qian Xunji's back then.

When Qian Xunji first arrived back then, he had started off with a Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

That was what true shock felt like.

Sea Dragon Douluo activated the Sacred Pillar, and instantly, a white fluorescence bloomed upon it.

The white fluorescence was only one foot high, but quickly transformed into purple, and then turned black in the blink of an eye.

Moments later, a red crimson light soared into the sky, dozens of zhang high, alarming the entire Sea God Island.

"Red-Class Nine Trials?"

Sea Dragon Douluo gasped in shock. Rumor had it that back then, even the High Priestess had only unlocked the Red-Class Eight Trials.

However, the crimson glow did not stop there.

Within the red, golden light gradually emerged, growing richer and richer, as an aura belonging to a God descended.

"Seagod Nine Trials!!!"

The High Priestess couldn't help but exclaim. She looked toward Qian Xunji, seeing only satisfaction and not a hint of surprise on his face, causing the light in her eyes to dim even further.

Was he... truly here only for the God Position?

Did it matter nothing to him if she sacrificed herself?
