In the Divine Realm, inside the Seagod's Palace, Seagod and Asura God sat together as before.
However, at this moment, Seagod's expression was noticeably dark.
Originally, according to Asura God's plan, Seagod was merely using Bo Saixi to teach Yang Podi a lesson, allowing the young man to understand the vast gap between gods and mortals, as well as the difference in the application of divine power and soul power.
But who could have expected that Yang Podi was far stronger than anyone had imagined?
After such a prolonged battle, his soul power seemed bottomless, with an astonishingly fast recovery rate.
What shocked them even more was that in his final desperate move, even Seagod's Golden Thirteen Halberds, infused with the power of the vast ocean, was overpowered.
If not for Seagod's quick reaction, immense strength, and the fact that Yang Podi did hold back slightly at the last moment, that final "Shooting the Sun" attack, unleashed after ring detonation, could have instantly killed Bo Saixi.
Even Seagod himself had felt an immense pressure from it.
With a gloomy expression, Seagod turned to Asura God.
"Asura God, this time you were a little underhanded. In order to fully test Yang Podi's strength and temper him, you made me use far too much of my faith power. You owe me compensation for this."
However, Asura God's face remained impassive.
"I miscalculated this time. I didn't expect this boy's improvement to be so drastic, especially in his all-out desperation. His strength exceeded even my expectations."
Seagod frowned in confusion.
"Asura God, no matter how you look at it, this boy already possesses the strength of an ordinary god. Are you really going to let him continue taking the God Trials on Douluo Star at his current pace?"
Asura God pondered for a moment before replying.
"At this point, with the remaining trials left, he'll likely complete them within two years at most. There's little that can hinder him now. But I still feel that he lacks something in terms of temperament. At the very least, he's not decisive enough in truly crucial moments."
Seagod was speechless.
"Asura, aren't you overthinking this? In both mindset and strength, I'd say he's already more than qualified. He's ruthless against enemies yet protective of his own people. What exactly are you still dissatisfied with?"
Asura God sighed.
"Even so, you should understand that the Divine Realm is extremely complex, with intricate power struggles. The five Divine Kings don't all share the same stance. Yang Podi may be outstanding in many ways, but I have yet to see him display any ambition or the decisiveness to tackle problems head-on."
"As the Divine Realm's Enforcer, sometimes I must act with impartial justice, but other times, I cannot afford to be too rigid. Otherwise, it could lead to division within the Divine Realm."
"What concerns me most is that this boy has never offended anyone, as if he's afraid of taking responsibility or facing retaliation. That is not the mindset of a qualified enforcer."
Seagod seemed to sympathize with Yang Podi.
"Aren't your standards too high? He's only in his twenties. Under his leadership, Heavenly Academy has steadily grown. At times, in order to ensure the safety of his family and faction, he's had to conceal his edge and make calculated decisions. That's only natural."
Asura God remained silent, quietly sipping his wine.
It wasn't until a long while later that he finally spoke.
"Perhaps I am expecting too much from him. A Divine Realm Enforcer must abandon all restraints, act without hesitation, and be willing to take extreme measures to resolve conflicts—just as I did in the past."
Seagod was puzzled.
"Isn't Yang Podi's steady and cautious nature a good thing? If he becomes the new Asura God, wouldn't that bring greater stability to the Divine Realm?"
Asura God nodded slightly.
"He is indeed stable. Perhaps too stable. What I fear is that in the future, he will have stability but lack the drive to push forward."
Seagod's expression changed dramatically.
"You're worried that one day, he'll come into conflict with Evil and Destruction, and by then, things will spiral beyond control?"
A cold glint flickered in Asura God's eyes.
"Forget it. In the end, he will have to make a choice. I'll see what he decides in his Sixth Trial."
Seagod seemed to understand Asura God's intentions, but remained silent.
Douluo Star, Above Seagod Island
Bo Saixi slowly regained clarity and fully comprehended the outcome of the battle.
Bo Saixi slowly regained clarity, fully realizing the result of the battle.
A bitter smile appeared on her face.
She had never imagined that the gap between her and Yang Podi would be so immense.
If not for Seagod's descent, and if Yang Podi hadn't held back in his final attack, she would have already perished.
"Yang Podi, you have won. I never expected that in such a short time, your strength would reach this level. It seems I have been overconfident all along."
Yang Podi's expression remained indifferent.
"Senior flatters me. I was merely fortunate this time."
Bo Saixi seemed to recall something.
"Yang Podi, I know your strength has already surpassed mine. In the future, can you not make things difficult for Tang San? After all, he is the descendant of my friend."
Yang Podi let out a cold laugh.
"Senior, that's quite an interesting statement. From beginning to end, what connection have I ever had with Tang San? Who exactly was it that started this conflict? As Seagod's High Priest, can you truly claim to be impartial—whether toward me or toward Tianyue?"
Bo Saixi's face turned somber.
"I cannot be completely fair and just. Tang San is, after all, the descendant of Tang Chen. In the end, I still hold feelings for an old friend."
Yang Podi contemplated for a long time, then finally sighed.
"Senior, if you truly wish for Tang San to remain safe, you should keep him on Seagod Island. If he returns to the mainland, the consequences will be unpredictable. After all, Tang San is the greatest thorn in the eyes of Bibi Dong and the others."
Throughout the entire conversation, Yang Podi never stated what he would do in the future, nor did he make any promises.
But Bo Saixi knew very well—the moment Tang San left Seagod Island, he would immediately face Yang Podi's overwhelming retaliation.
And by then, she would be powerless to intervene.
As spiritual power surged from her body, the bloodstains on her lips and clothes instantly vanished.
Her elegance and dignity as the High Priest of Seagod Island were completely restored.
Yet, to her surprise, even with her current strength, the wound on her shoulder, pierced by the Breaking Soul Spear, showed no sign of healing.
Clearly, this injury was not ordinary—it wouldn't be so easily recovered from.
Bo Saixi shook her head slightly, then turned and returned to Seagod Island.
Seagod Island
When the Seagod Island inhabitants saw Bo Saixi's shoulder wound, they were all shocked beyond belief.
Especially the Seven Sacred Pillars Guardians, whose expressions turned extremely furious.
Never had they imagined that the Great High Priest, whom they revered as divine, could be wounded so gravely.
Bo Saixi glanced at the gathered crowd and calmly declared:
"From this day forth, the Seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island shall take turns patrolling the island to prevent any unwanted intruders."
