Ever since Tang San planted the Ancient Golden Tree at Shrek Academy, it had become the base where he stored his divine sense. Back then, the Vast Sea Universe, the token through which he had attained the position of Sea God, was buried in this very place.
As his most fundamental hidden divine sense, it took root within the Ancient Golden Tree to assist his mother, Ah Yin, in seizing the tree's body. At the same time, it could receive various commands transmitted from his main body above via the divine artifact.
His divine sense had even directly become the artifact spirit of this Vast Sea Universe... This way, even if it was treated as the hereditary divine artifact of the Sea God Pavilion, it remained entirely under his control.
This divine sense, pretending to be an artifact spirit, had been waiting inside the artifact as always for the execution of the ten-thousand-year grand plan, to the point of snoring from pure boredom.
Suddenly, he sensed that the divine sense left behind at his hereditary ground--Sea God Island--had actually been destroyed.
Then, Tang San felt his divine power on Sea God Island being absorbed? Even the power of faith stored by the Seven Sacred Pillars for tens of thousands of years had been absorbed by someone.
And then, that person actually ignited a divine fire? Burning the power of faith, they had directly woven a new Divine Seat?
Wait, what? Can it even be used like that? (☉д⊙)
However, having not contacted his main body in the Divine Realm for ten thousand years, he looked at that new Sea God Divine Seat and felt his opportunity arriving once more!
As a source of spiritual energy at the God-level, he wasn't just a stray strand of divine thought left behind on Sea God Island. His Sea God affinity was completely maxed out. With this new Sea God Divine Seat woven by that little girl, wouldn't it naturally fall easily into his hands as a God-level spiritual origin?
Sea God Island wasn't established by him after all, so his feelings toward it weren't that deep; leaving a bit of divine sense to protect it was enough.
He immediately contacted his mother, Ah Yin, telling her to convert all the life energy she could control into Sea God's Light. Originally, he could only carry thirty percent of the life energy, but with wild ambitions in his mind, he wished to live another life and manifest the glory of the Sea God once more.
He forcefully swallowed forty percent of the Sea God's Light, purely intending to directly seize the body of that new Sea God.
Yet, when he flew to the ruins of Sea God Island, a scene occurred that shattered his divine sense.
What did he see? A guy who looked exactly like the old Sea God, whose aura felt exactly like the old Sea God, and whose skills were exactly like the old Sea God. Except for not knowing how to use the Thirteen Golden Halberd Strikes passed down to him, this guy was practically a carbon copy of the previous generation's Sea God, Poseidon. He used the Law of the ocean more proficiently than Tang San himself, and his divine power possessed an extreme level of affinity.
With a mind that wasn't very sharp to begin with, he made his own judgment under the Sea God's "stunning wisdom."
"This is the previous generation's old Sea God resurrected through reincarnation. He is also here to snatch the Sea God Divine Seat. It must be so."
He entirely ignored the Sea God Helmet worn on the other party's head; this divine thought refused to recognize him as the Sea God Priest.
Looking like this, he was clearly not a Sea God Priest of my valiant and fearless Grand God King Tang! It must be a backup plan left behind by that old thing from the first generation.
Thus, the God-level origin, which might not have been able to successfully seize a body to begin with, actually split into two. It even sent a strand to seize the body of Chen Xinjie, who was currently acting out of a desire to repay the Sea God's protection.
Just as the seizure was about to succeed, this "Poseidon" suddenly twisted his face into a ferocious expression and began to curse the great Grand God King Tang.
Good! At a glance, this was definitely the expression of someone whose plans had been ruined by the valiant and fearless Grand God King Tang, leaving him utterly exasperated. Exactly.
You, old Sea God, did indeed help me out a little. You added another Sea God Divine Seat to my God King Divine Seat, achieving the beautiful reputation of holding dual Divine Seats. You gifted me a super divine weapon, the Sea God Trident, along with a set of very useful divine skills.
Even though I am going to take over your body, you show no gratitude and even dare to insult me, Grand God King Tang. You already have a path to court death.
No need to inspect further. Direct an attack at the brain to wipe out his soul once and for all.
Jie jie jie, feel the glory of Grand God King Tang.
However, just as Tang San's divine thought took over Chen Xinjie's body, before he even had time to adapt, he felt the heavy pressure of the ocean.
Precisely because he lacked the assistance of Chen Xinjie's consciousness, the struggle for the authority of the ocean instantly tilted completely to one side. Aside from the assistance of the Divine Seat and the super divine weapon, what did he actually know about the authority of the ocean?
Facing the endless deep pressure of the ocean directly, it almost suffocated the Grand God King Tang. Wait, that's not right? This body can function without needing to breathe.
Brandishing the surrounding Sea God's Light, he directly forced open a domain, relying solely on brute force and ample energy.
Under the washing of the Sea God's Light, he incidentally devoured flesh and blood saturated with life essence. The devouring capability of Grand God King Tang was beyond question.
The body that was previously devoid of vitality and on the verge of burning out instantly transformed into an appearance with long black hair, blue-black eyes flashing with unrestrained divine light, and the pure, ice-clear look of Tang San.
Although he wasn't very good at using Chen Xinjie's ocean martial soul, fortunately, the Trident in his hand was still quite useful. By using the Sea God's Light at will, its powerful energy could sweep away all enemies.
Thirteen Golden Halberd Strikes--First Strike: Indefinite Storm.
A sky-blue and silver ring edged with gold directly enveloped Skadi's body. As the move used most frequently by Grand God King Tang, once it hit an opponent, no matter how strong they were, they absolutely could not move within eight seconds. It could control even a God-level opponent for at least three seconds, combining offense and defense into one.
Second Strike: Millennium Void.
Brandishing the Trident in his hand, countless golden fragments of time swept toward Skadi, starting with an incredibly explosive blast.
Following that, Tang San unleashed his strongest single-target attack.
Third Strike: No Return.
Throwing his Sea God Trident toward the controlled Skadi, the sharp Trident thrust straight toward Skadi's heart.
As for why he didn't use the remaining skills, after all, these were the Thirteen Strikes, it was because the first three moves were the strongest. His main body had said that knowing these three moves was enough to deal with any enemy.
Though he felt that his main body probably wasn't very proficient with the remaining strikes either...
Just as Tang San, controlling Chen Xinjie's body, thought he had successfully slain the new Sea God, he struck a few incomprehensible poses before handsomely flicking his head and turning his gaze back toward Skadi's position.
He saw that the new Sea God, who should have been smashed into dust by the Trident, had actually clapped her palms together and firmly caught the thrown Trident.
Then, with a burst of force, she directly snapped the Trident in two.
Wait, what the hell? Could it be that the quality of the Trident was too poor? And what about the divine sense that had split inside? Even if it was to snatch a new Divine Seat, it shouldn't have yielded no results after such a long time!
While he was still dazed, the Sea God Domain enveloped Tang San once more.
In an instant, several giant beasts that had been charging up their strength for a long time appeared all around. As Sea Soul Beasts that had survived for countless years, each possessed their own unique trump cards.
The one with the most magnificent imposing aura was a Deep Sea Demon Whale King, overflowing with tyrannical air and brimming with cruel, evil energy.
"Little brat! Go die!!"
First, a Dark Abyss Devouring Hell anchored the ground! A flash of purple-gold light cut off everything around them, simulating a small world that temporarily isolated the Sea God's Light. A purple-gold beam of light washed over Tang San's body from the bottom up.
"Demonic Ultimate Divine Light!" The Demon Empress poured out the resentment she had gathered over many years, unleashing energy wildly as if it cost nothing.
After a wave of light pollution swept through, it successfully stripped a layer of skin off Tang San. He no longer possessed his previous radiant and beautiful luster, but it also successfully enraged him.
"You beasts! Out of consideration for the difficulty of your cultivation, I, Sea God Tang San, did not slaughter you! To think you dare to launch a sneak attack on me. Every single one of you already has a path to court death."
Several tridents condensed from the Sea God's Light descended from the sky. The divine skills of a True God swept through every living creature within the domain.
Unfortunately, no beast was listening to his wild roaring. They ran away right after releasing their skills. These tridents merely destroyed the endless Seaborn within the domain.
Tang San gazed into the distance at the fleeing Soul Beast, gritted his teeth, and with a wave of his hand, used the seawater to gather all the Seaborn corpses into a single point, turning them into a deep blue crystal of life energy. He devoured it completely, returning once more to his original appearance.
"Once I devour the Sea God Divine Seat, I will go slaughter you Sea Soul Beasts. Your path to court death is set, and your demise is certain."
He then turned toward the new Sea God, who had lost half her body from the collateral damage. Looking at her vacant expression, he secretly noted that the half-portion of his divine sense had successfully completed the seizure.
He reached out his hand directly toward the newly constructed deep blue, slightly crimson Sea God Divine Seat.
"Jie jie jie! Fantastic! Though a small problem occurred during the process, the outcome is good."
Divine Seat, return to my side.
I can't take it anymore, I'm throwing up blood. Tang San is just too ridiculous. He behaves like a child who suddenly gained immense power, squandering it at will and doing whatever he pleases without tempering his state of mind. In the later stages, he relies entirely on devouring and using hacks to level up, ascending to heaven in a single step. There's no real sense of cultivation at all. Frivolous, arrogant, and conceited--all of these are displayed right behind his facade of pretending to be a good person. It's truly too absurd.
After writing so many chapters, this is the first time I've disgusted myself while writing. I wanted to figure out how Tang San should speak so he wouldn't be out of character, but as a result, not three sentences could go by without "a path to court death." It completely disgusted me.
I'm not updating this afternoon. I'm going to clear my head.
The author wanted to write about his "stunning wisdom," but the result is neither stunning nor wise. It's just pure absurdity.
I actually quite liked the Tang San in the manhua. Back in junior high, the manhua updated too slowly, so I went to read the novel. At the time, I didn't think much about it and didn't notice anything wrong. But when I re-read it in high school, I discovered a whole pile of problems. Now, it's just utterly disgusting.
