Chapter 2553: Chapter 2573: Tragedy, It Doesn’t Recognize Me!

Lin Chen looked at the Sea God’s Seal in his hand; his initial shock and excitement gradually cooled off.

When he had been begging for help, he had only wanted to survive, but he hadn’t expected True Person Tai Xu to be so domineering, casually "dealing with" the Sea God just like that.

If you have enough strength, your actions can indeed be domineering!

The Sea God’s Seal is the symbol of the Sea God, and only by gaining the recognition of the Sea God’s Seal can one access its full functionality and wield its full power, becoming the true Sea God. Until then, for Lin Chen, the Sea God’s Seal was merely a powerful Innate Spiritual Treasure, and he was unable to unlock its other functions.

The Sea God’s Seal could absorb the wish energy from the Sea God Command; the Sea God could rely on the Sea God’s Seal for cultivation, enhancing strength, but now, even though there was ample wish energy in the Sea God’s Seal, he could only watch helplessly.

He could see it, but not eat it.

Although True Person Tai Xu had given the Sea God’s Seal to Lin Chen and backed him up, it was still an unknown if he could gain the recognition of the Sea God’s Seal.

Lin Chen immersed his heart and mind and entered the Sea God’s Seal, and right away, he sensed the consciousness of the Sea God’s Seal.

As Lin Chen’s perception extended like tendrils, he made contact, and for an instant, he felt his own consciousness meld with the other’s.

He seemed to see a vast, endless deep sea, and likewise, he imagined that his own world of consciousness was clearly perceived by the other party.

The next second, Lin Chen’s perception was brutally ejected, and the connection was instantly severed.

Lin Chen was dumbfounded.

Really? Is it that bad?

Am I some fierce and unstoppable flood?

Is it that exaggerated?

Unconvinced, Lin Chen reached out with his perception into the Sea God’s Seal once again, but this time, the Sea God’s Seal did not respond at all.

The Sea God’s Seal was like a room filled with gold and silver treasure. Lin Chen stood at the entrance; just now the Master of the house had opened a crack in the door, and the two had locked eyes through that sliver before the Master slammed it shut with a bang.

Not only did the door shut, but it was also bolted.

No matter how Lin Chen knocked on the door or tried to break in by force, the door remained firmly immovable.

That’s the end!

After many trials, Lin Chen felt helpless inside.

It was clear that the Sea God’s Seal did not recognize him!

Absolute non-recognition!

Lin Chen was at a loss for a moment and looked up with a wry smile, "I’ve been rejected, it does not recognize me..."

Shang Wenyao asked curiously, "Does not recognize you?"

Lin Chen nodded, "The Sea God’s Seal has its own consciousness. To become the Sea God and use all the abilities of the Sea God’s Seal, you first need to gain its recognition. I just tried, and it does not recognize me."

Shang Wenyao blinked, "Maybe try a few more times?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I’m afraid that won’t work. My consciousness connected with it for an instant. In that moment, it was as if our hearts and minds were completely linked, it saw right through me, and then it rejected me. It seems I’m not the Sea God it recognizes."

Shang Wenyao said in amazement, "Is it that miraculous? What do we do then? Is there any other way?"

Lin Chen handed the Sea God’s Seal to Shang Wenyao, "Give it a try."

Shang Wenyao looked at Lin Chen in surprise, "Isn’t that inappropriate?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "There’s no harm in trying. Even if it really does recognize you as the new Sea God, it doesn’t really matter. After all, we are our own people; good water does not flow to others’ fields."

Shang Wenyao was indeed curious, hesitated for a bit, then extended her hand to grasp the Sea God’s Seal, and sent her perception into it.

Lin Chen watched Shang Wenyao’s face; there was a moment when Shang Wenyao’s expression showed surprise, Lin Chen guessed that it must be the connection of heart and mind.

The next second, Shang Wenyao’s expression turned to a wry smile, she lifted her head and said to Lin Chen, "I understand what you mean now..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "You were also rejected by it?"

Shang Wenyao nodded, "Yes, just like what you described. Our hearts and minds connected for an instant, then it shut itself off, no longer paying attention to me. Clearly, it doesn’t recognize me either."

Lin Chen was not surprised and chuckled, "Only those recognized by the Sea God’s Seal can become the exalted Sea God, it seems not just anyone can gain its recognition."

Shang Wenyao agreed, "Indeed, we just don’t know what kind of conditions are needed to gain its recognition, or what actions might change its perception of people?"

Lin Chen pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "It chose to connect with you and me for that instant, clearly, it was directly auditing us. If we don’t pass, it immediately excludes us, not giving us a second chance for an audit."

"Although I have no idea what kind of person it’s looking for, both of us have definitely been excluded, becoming the Sea God looks impossible now."

Shang Wenyao thought for a moment, "Sheng Tianyun has been captured. If the Seal returns to Elder Fan’s hands, do you think it will still recognize Elder Fan?"
