Chapter 168
Remnant soul?
For some reason, Xu Lai's eyes slowly emerged with the scene of Poseidon caressing his chest with his hand and blood slowly oozing from the corner of his mouth.
Did the battle end with Poseidon's grievance?
Thinking of this, Xu Lai's face turned pale.
"What happened afterwards?"
Xu Lai calmed down and looked up at the statue of Poseidon.
A wave of ripples appeared, and a vague spirit slowly emerged next to the statue of Poseidon.
His body was transparent and almost illusory, and his appearance was 70% similar to the statue of Poseidon, with a lonely and desolate look on his face.
"Poseidon..."
Seeing the Poseidon, who was full of vigor and pride in the past pictures, now only had this half-human and half-ghost appearance, Xu Lai felt bitter in his heart.
He bowed respectfully to the Poseidon in front of him from the bottom of his heart.
"Little guy, what's your name?"
The gentle words rang in Xu Lai's ears, and his body trembled slightly.
"Qingfeng."
The Sea God nodded: "Now that the big mistake has been made, Qingfeng, you don't have to be sad for me."
Xu Lai remained silent, and the Sea God was more open-minded than him.
The Sea God was not talking, but just looked at Xu Lai with his illusory eyes, as if he was considering something.
After an unknown amount of time, the Sea God suddenly sighed.
"I've waited for so long, but I still haven't waited for any sea creatures, but only waited for a human."
"Forget it, forget it."
The Sea God shook his head and looked at Xu Lai again: "Qingfeng, are you willing to promise me one thing?"
"Lord Sea God, just say it, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse."
Xu Lai raised his head and promised the Sea God's residual soul, which was almost transparent and looked like a candle in the wind that could dissipate at any time.
"My friend, don't rush to agree. I'll tell you what happened back then. If you think the matter is too difficult and your own strength is low, just refuse directly."
Xu Lai didn't say anything, but took a deep breath. He felt that he would definitely help the Sea God, who seemed to be an old man on his deathbed, to fulfill his last wish.
"That was the case..."
The Sea God began to tell the story slowly.
"That day should have been the day I became a god. The whole sea clan was excited to hear the news."
Hearing this, Xu Lai's face changed.
Could it be that the ceremony of the Sea God's becoming a god was destroyed by the Black Abyss Cult, which led to his final fall?
The voice of the Sea God continued to come, as if it had a magic power to calm people's hearts, and Xu Lai's resentment gradually subsided.
"The anemones bloomed brilliantly that day, just like my mood at the beginning, becoming famous at a young age and feeling proud."
"Countless beautiful women of the sea clan who usually stay at home all went to the place where I became a god to watch my ceremony."
"Seeing them coming made me feel even more happy. All I thought about was how to maintain and prosper the sea clan after becoming a god."
The sea god cares about the sea clan and is indeed a rare good god.
Xu Lai secretly evaluated in his heart.
"But just when the ceremony was at the most important and critical link, something strange happened."
"The Black Abyss Cult?" Xu Lai blurted out.
These three words seemed to touch the deepest memory of the sea god. He was silent for a long time before continuing.
"The god of the Black Abyss Cult, 'Nothingness', got the news that I was about to become a god from nowhere, and he disguised himself as a member of the sea tribe and hid in the crowd around him."
"Just before the ceremony was about to succeed, he attacked me by surprise."
"Did you succeed in the end, and where did Nothingness go?"
Xu Lai couldn't help but ask.
"Ahem."
A weak cough sounded in the air, and the figure of the sea god became increasingly dim and illusory.
The figure, which was originally almost transparent, seemed to be dimming little by little.
Xu Lai realized something, and his fists clenched secretly.
"He had a plan, but I didn't. Even though I reacted immediately and slapped him away, I was still tricked by him."
"After the Void's sneak attack was successful, he didn't want to fight anymore, but sent countless fearless subordinates to harass me to prevent me from recovering and continuing the unfinished godhood ceremony."
"Later, you saw that the last blow killed all the remnants of the Black Abyss Sect, but I was also seriously injured."
"The godhood ceremony was not completed after all."
"What does this mean?"
Xu Lai blinked.
"To put it simply, after becoming a god, my strength is still lower than those of the true gods, and I don't have a profession to belong to. I can be said to be the weakest god, and it is difficult for me to protect the entire sea clan."
"So later, the Black Abyss Sect invaded in large numbers.Invading my sea clan, occupying the magpie's nest, making my sea clan people live in misery. "
No wonder the sea clan was so easily invaded by the Black Abyss Cult, it turned out to be like this.
Xu Lai was silent.
"Later, I really couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to die with the void to save the thousands of people of my sea clan."
"Unfortunately, due to the flaws in the god-making ceremony, the strength was far behind that of the void, and he was eventually killed by the other party. "
The tone of the sea god was flat, but it was no less than thunder in Xu Lai's ears.
The sea god really fell!
The sea god in front of him was indeed not the real sea god as the other party said, but just a wandering ghost.
Now, this last remnant soul is about to disappear between heaven and earth.
From then on, there is no sea god in the entire sea clan.
"Take this thing. "
A drop of water emitting infinite vitality was quietly held by the Sea God in his illusory and swaying palm.
[Fountain of Life (one drop)]
[Description: A treasure that countless people dream of. It is said that if you swallow one drop, you can prolong your life and stay young forever. It seems that there are special uses besides this.]
Xu Lai did not hesitate or refuse, and accepted this drop of Fountain of Life generously.
"Thank you, Lord Sea God."
"I think you have guessed what I am going to say next."
Waving his hand, the voice of the Sea God seemed to be a little weaker.
He stared at Xu Lai's face, with a light flashing in his eyes: "I hope that one day, you can help me kill and destroy the god called Nothingness and save my sea people from the water and fire."
"Then I, a sinner of the sea people, can go with peace of mind. "
Xuwu can be called a god, and his strength is at least at the level of the Three Emperors. If Xu Lai meets him now, it would be like seeking death and hitting a rock with an egg.
Even so, Xu Lai agreed without hesitation.
"Don't worry."
The sea god showed a relieved smile, as if to say that he had not made a mistake.
A breeze blew by, and he slowly disappeared between heaven and earth with a smile.
Xu Lai stood quietly in the wind for a long time.
