72: Chapter 72: Where did you come from, you imposter!

In the courtyard enveloped by blue light, the massive figure drifting out from the Sea God's Heart became increasingly clear.

He wore a deep blue robe, his face resolute, and his eyes were like the deep ocean; it was none other than the divine sense projection of the Sea God, Poseidon.

At this moment, he was furrowing his brows, staring intently at the blue-light-encased Wang Donger, his face full of confusion: "Something is wrong... How could this girl have the aura of my power within her? And it's so pure, as if it were innate."

He had held the Sea God Position for ten thousand years and was overly familiar with the fluctuations of his own Divine Power. Yet, the aura on the young girl before him was clearly from the same source as his, but it carried a subtle, almost imperceptible difference—as if... she had inherited his God Position but developed new traits.

"Could this be a contingency left behind by some old geezer?" Poseidon muttered, his curiosity thoroughly piqued.

He attempted to release his divine sense to investigate, but discovered that the power was hidden deep within the girl's Sea of Spirit, as if separated by a layer of mist.

"Forget it, I'll just go in and see for myself."

Poseidon hesitated no longer. His divine sense transformed into a stream of light and, following the connection between the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and Wang Donger, charged directly into her Sea of Spirit.

As soon as he entered, Poseidon was stunned by the sight before him—

This Sea of Spirit was vast and boundless, like a real ocean. Countless golden runes floated on the surface, each radiating intense fluctuations of the Sea God's Divine Power.

What shocked him even more was that, in the center of the Sea of Spirit, a vague projection of a God Position was suspended. The aura emanating from that God Position was identical to his own Sea God Position, perhaps even more condensed!

"This... How is this possible?"

Poseidon exclaimed in disbelief: "I have never seen this girl, nor have I ever bestowed upon her the inheritance of my God Position. How could there be the aura of the Sea God Position in her Sea of Spirit? And it's so pure!"

He circled the projection of the God Position a few times, becoming more alarmed the longer he looked—the foundation of this God Position and the arrangement of the runes were clearly a replica of his Sea God Position, yet the details bore clear traces of "humanity," no longer just the pure condensation of the Laws of the Ocean.

Just as he was utterly baffled, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly erupted from the depths of the Sea of Spirit.

"Hum—"

A massive, even more majestic power awakened. Intertwined golden and blue light soared into the sky, condensing into a figure on the other side of the Sea of Spirit.

The person wore a blue and gold robe, his ink-black hair cascading down, his face handsome, with a touch of gentleness between his brows, yet also exuding an unquestionable majesty.

When he saw Poseidon, he was also stunned, then furrowed his brows slightly, his eyes full of confusion: "Who are you...?"

This figure was none other than the divine sense left behind by the Sea God, Tang San!

When Poseidon saw the Sea God's Divine Power on that figure, especially upon sensing an aura that was from the same source as his own but even superior, his pupils constricted. He instantly released his trident Spirit, his divine sense erupting: "Who are you? How dare you impersonate my aura and occupy this girl's Sea of Spirit!"

In his view, the figure before him had clearly stolen his Sea God Divine Power and even imitated his God Position; he was definitely an imposter!

Tang San was bewildered by this sudden hostility. Subconsciously, he released his Sea God Trident and frowned: "Impersonate? I am the Sea God myself. As for you, why do you have the aura of my Sea God Position? You look somewhat familiar, but I can't recall where I've seen you..."

After he became the Sea God, Poseidon had long since disappeared to who knows where.

Furthermore, most of his own divine sense had been dormant, so he naturally had little impression of this "predecessor," feeling only that the other's aura was both familiar and strange.

"Insolent!"

Poseidon was thoroughly enraged by the phrase "I am the Sea God myself." He pointed his trident directly at Tang San and rebuked: "I have held the position of Sea God for ten thousand years; when did it become your turn, you yellow-mouthed child, to falsely claim the title of Sea God? Take this!"

Before the words had even faded, Poseidon charged with his trident. Deep blue Divine Power swept in like a tsunami, carrying the majesty of a ten-thousand-year Sea God, determined to tear this "imposter" to shreds.

"You are unreasonable!"

Tang San sighed helplessly and had no choice but to brandish his own trident to meet the attack: "I am an Enforcer of the Divine Realm, the dual god of the Sea God and Asura God. How dare you attack me?"

"Still spouting nonsense!"

Poseidon roared: "Dual god? That is pure fantasy! Today, I will definitely expose your true colors!"

Two figures engaged in a fierce battle within Wang Donger's Sea of Spirit.

Deep blue and blue-gold Divine Powers collided incessantly. Projections of tridents intertwined in the air, weaving countless rays of light. The entire Sea of Spirit shook violently, and the golden runes on the sea surface were scattered by the tremors, as if everything were on the verge of collapse.

The more Tang San fought, the more alarmed he became—the power of this divine sense was extremely pure, and its application of the Sea God's Laws was even more adept than when he had first inherited the God Position. If not for the fact that he had merged with the Asura God's power and undergone years of tempering in the Divine Realm, he might truly not have been a match for it.

But why did the other party insist that he was an imposter? And that aura... it was indeed the purest Sea God origin.

"Hey! Who exactly are you?"

Tang San shouted while parrying: "I really am the Sea God, Tang San! If you don't believe me, look at this!"

He casually cast a streak of divine sense, condensing a projection of his Enforcer token from the Divine Realm.

When Poseidon saw the token, he was stunned for a moment, then became even angrier: "You dare to forge a Divine Realm token! You are courting death!"

"I see you prefer the hard way!"

Tang San was also enraged.

He was, after all, the holder of two major God Positions in the Divine Realm. To be insulted as an "imposter" by some unknown divine sense and chased around while being attacked—this was intolerable!

He held back no longer. The killing intent of the Asura God instantly merged into the Sea God's Divine Power. The blue-gold light was stained with a layer of eerie blood-red. As he brandished the trident, it carried not only the vastness of the ocean but also the sharpness of judgment!

"Hmm?"

Poseidon felt that killing intent, his expression shifting slightly: "This is... the aura of the Asura God? You really have stolen the power of multiple Divinities!"

He became even more convinced that Tang San was an imposter. He exerted all his divine sense, drawing over the Sea God origin power contained within the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud—after all, this was a divine object he had left behind, and it still contained some of his Divine Power.

Outside, the blue light had dissipated, but Wang Donger's condition was becoming increasingly abnormal.

Her delicate body began to tremble violently. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat, her lips were bitten white, and her brows were tightly knitted together. She seemed to be enduring immense pain, letting out suppressed groans.

"What's wrong with her?" Qian Renxue's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Lu Jing.

Lu Jing furrowed his brows, appearing calm on the surface, but his heart was already churning with tumultuous waves—as expected!

The divine senses of Poseidon and Tang San were fighting! Judging by Wang Donger's reaction, her Sea of Spirit was likely caught in the crossfire.

"I don't know!"

Lu Jing said in a deep voice, trying to keep his tone calm: "Perhaps the Sea God is testing her endurance. After all, it is a god-level inheritance; it won't be that easy."

As he spoke, he bent over and swept Wang Donger up in his arms.

The girl's body was scorching hot and as light as a feather, yet it made his heart tighten.

"Sister Xue'er, please clear a room. She needs peace and cannot be disturbed." Lu Jing looked up at Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue did not hesitate and immediately turned around: "Follow me, there is a quiet room in the backyard."

She was extremely fast, and soon led Lu Jing to a simply furnished room. There was only a bed and a dressing table in the room, and the air was filled with calming incense.

Lu Jing carefully placed Wang Donger on the bed. Seeing that she was still wearing those pale gold high heels, he bent down and gently took them off, revealing a pair of small, exquisite jade feet.

After doing all this, he straightened up and stood by the bed, waiting quietly, his gaze locked on Wang Donger's pained face.

Tang San's divine sense shouldn't last much longer. Once Poseidon dealt with him, it would be time to bestow the inheritance upon Wang Donger. He hoped nothing would go wrong.

At this moment, Qian Renxue and Xiao Wu also walked in.

"Is there anything we can do?" Qian Renxue asked, a hint of worry in her purple eyes.

She could feel that the energy fluctuations within Wang Donger were very unstable, as if they could spiral out of control at any moment.

Lu Jing shook his head: "No need, I'll just keep watch here. You two go and rest."

Qian Renxue looked at Wang Donger, then at Lu Jing's determined gaze, and nodded: "Then call me if anything happens; I'll be in the front courtyard."

After saying this, she turned and left.

Xiao Wu, however, did not leave. She walked to the bedside, looked at Wang Donger's pained expression, her eyes slightly red, and said softly: "I'll stay too; it's always better to have another person to help look after her."

Lu Jing glanced at her and did not refuse again. He knew that Xiao Wu and Wang Donger were very close, and if he made her leave now, she wouldn't be at ease.
