Douro Continent

Tang San guessed that Bo Saixi's change was due to his great-grandfather Tang Chen, but he never thought that the truth of the matter would be like this... Bo Saixi said faintly: "However, there is one thing you guessed wrong, it's not Tang Chen didn't understand what I was thinking. When he came here and we met again, everything before was meaningless. We have lived in this world for a hundred years, what else is there? What about those who can’t let go? It’s a pity that although his arrival brought me happiness, it also brought me deeper sadness. It’s not his fault, it’s me. I was too proud at the time and I didn’t tell him clearly. He didn't even hint to him about my feelings for him. All the fault is my fault..."

Bo Saixi's emotions were a little out of control. Although she still sat there without moving, her body was trembling slightly. Her right hand was holding her golden scepter tightly. The scepter was in contact with the ground. A quacking sound.

"Senior, you..., what happened? Where is my great-grandfather?"

Bo Saixi looked at Tang San in a daze, "You know, you are very similar to him when he was young, except that he was much more public than you back then, and not as reserved as you. Of course, this is also different from him. It is related to his strength. When he was in his 30s, he was already a strong man. Among his peers, no one could match him. It is precisely because of this that I still can’t bear it even though I know he has a family. I just fell in love with him. Tang Chen, Tang Chen, you are really the devil in my life. Even at the last moment of your life, you still refused to let me go."

"What?" After hearing Bo Saixi's words, Tang San was shocked and couldn't help but stood up suddenly. Looking at Bo Saixi, the light in his eyes had turned horrified.

Bo Saixi's voice became a little lower, "Yes, Tang Chen has gone, gone forever. Although he understood my feelings and came here, what he let me see was him. The last time. Three days, he only gave me three days and left me. After that, I thought about it for ten years, and it became what it is now."

"No, this is impossible." Tang San couldn't help but said excitedly: "Senior Bo Saixi, my great-grandfather is already a demigod, how could it be possible, how could he just die like this? You must have made a mistake, It must be."

Although Tang San only had a one-time relationship with his great-grandfather, in his heart, his great-grandfather's status was extremely high. Even a figure like his father was full of respect when he mentioned his great-grandfather.Moreover, the great-grandfather Tang Chen had already begun to accept the inheritance of God Shura, and he was already a demigod.When he came to Poseidon Island this time, in addition to inheriting Poseidon's slander, he also wanted to invite his great-grandfather to come out. With his great-grandfather in charge of the overall situation, and with his power, the situation on the continent will naturally be out of control.After listening to Bo Saixi's heartbreaking words, he couldn't believe that all of this was true.How could my great-grandfather with such strength die inexplicably?

Bo Saixi raised her head and glanced at Tang San, "Child, sit down. I asked you to come in yourself just to explain this matter clearly to you. This is also your great-grandfather's explanation."

Tang San sat back on the ground again with doubts and depression in his heart, looking at Bo Saixi with eyes filled with confusion.

Bo Saixi said calmly in her calm but heartbreaking voice: "At first, your great-grandfather and Qian Daoliu left Poseidon Island together after hearing my terms. Qian Daoliu is the same as me. He is a god. The guardian of slander, the god who guards the seraphs, can never truly become a god. Therefore, he naturally chose to give up. But your great-grandfather did not. Apart from his feelings for me, he The pride in his heart made him unwilling to come back until he fulfilled his promise to me. After going through all kinds of hardships, what he found was a nightmare for the rest of his life. He should have told you that in the killing city, he The divine inheritance of God Shura was discovered, but it was there that he lost his mind and became the parasite of the blood-red nine-headed bat king, and also became the killing king of the killing city."

Tang San nodded silently. Although the time he met his great-grandfather was short, his great-grandfather had described this period to him.

"Tang Chen has lived in the Killing City for so many years. Although he finally broke free and found himself again with the help of you using the Poseidon Trident. However, his own body has been completely corroded, and his blood is red. The nine-headed bat king's poison has long corroded his body. Although he possesses such powerful energy, his body is simply not strong enough to support the existence of that energy. It was better when he was the King of Slaughter. The energy was not too huge, and his body was controlled by the blood-red nine-headed bat king, so he could still maintain his life. However, when he regained consciousness, his own strength and part of the inherited power of God Shura entered his body. The huge energy immediately caused his body to collapse. He persisted desperately and insisted on coming here and seeing me..."

Tang San stared at Bo Saixi dumbfounded and murmured: "It's me, the great-grandfather I killed..."

Bo Saixi said bitterly: "Silly boy, stop saying stupid things. Even if he dies, it will be much better than being used as a parasite by the blood-red nine-headed bat king. What's more, you also allowed him to find himself again. , your great-grandfather was still proud of you even before he died. When Tang Chen came here, his body was already about to collapse. I tried my best not to make him hold on. He originally wanted to When you come back, you will see with your own eyes that his descendants can inherit the power of gods and possess the power of gods, but he can't wait any longer. God Shura's energy is too domineering, how can his broken body hold on?"

"After Tang Chen came here, in the last three days of his life, he kept talking to me, as if he wanted to tell me everything he had not said for so many years. He talked a lot, I was chatting with him, and before I knew it, three days had passed.”

Tears fell heavily from Bo Saixi's face. Her body no longer trembled, and she sat there as if she was demented. Whenever she recalled Tang Chen's death, she was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe. What she didn't say was that after Tang Chen died with a smile in her arms, she held Tang Chen's body without sleep or rest for seven days.Seven days later, she became what she is now.

"Senior, please forgive me. I didn't expect that I only met my great-grandfather once, and we were separated forever." Bo Saixi's sadness could not be faked. She had just returned here and heard such bad news. For Tang The impact of San was also huge. Even if his psychological quality was quite strong, it was still a bit difficult to accept. After all, the person who died was his great-grandfather!

After a long time, Bo Saixi controlled her emotions to calm down a bit. The sadness on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a gentle smile, "Okay, let's not mention these sad things. We are getting old. , you will always die. This is the law of nature. Only by becoming a god can you escape from this law. Although your great-grandfather suffered many difficulties in the killing city, he also lived for hundreds of years and experienced extremely Wonderful life. His life was not in vain. Everything he left behind will definitely be famous in your Haotian Sect through the ages. The suffering he suffered was all because of me. I will definitely be good in the next life. Serve him.”

"Before your great-grandfather passed away, his only regret was not being able to see you become a god and inherit the sea god's legacy. Tang San, if you really respect him, you must fulfill his last wish. Also, before he died, , I left something for you. You should keep it as a souvenir."

While speaking, Bo Saixi flipped her wrist, and made a move towards the side of Seagod Temple. Suddenly, a red light suddenly lit up, and the light flashed, and it was already between Bo Saixi and Tang San.

It was a bloody giant sword over two meters long. It was the same sword that Tang Chen used to resist Tang San's Poseidon Trident and knock him away.

The slender and thick sword is covered with dark golden magic patterns, and the blood-red long sword is full of extremely fierce killing aura. Even a powerhouse of Bo Saixi's level, when facing the aura on this magic sword, He couldn't help but frowned, obviously affected by it.

However, when Tang San saw this sword, he was completely stunned.

Tang San didn't feel the same as Bo Saixi at all. He didn't feel the killing aura on this demon sword had any impact on his body at all. On the contrary, looking at this long sword, Tang San immediately felt... He had a strong impulse, and he raised his left hand uncontrollably. The same red magic lines were revealed between the palms of the paper. The cold breath went all the way to his shoulders. The magic sword seemed to be the same as Tang San formed a perfect tacit understanding.

In an instant, the huge doubt that had always existed in Tang San's heart suddenly came through. He finally understood how the blood-red energy that the gang leader had killed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King himself and later played an important role in absorbing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's soul ring came from. Something happened.

That's right, it was caused by the mutation of his God of Killing Domain, and what he mutated after reaching the top level of his God of Killing Domain is no longer the power of the God of Killing Domain, but is in the same lineage as the power of the Shura God inherited from his great ancestors. They are connected!

yes!If this were not the case, how could the blood-red energy full of murderous aura be able to compete with his own Poseidon power for a period of time?If he hadn't reached god-level power, how could it be so difficult to compete with his own Poseidon power?How could the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King be completely suppressed?God Shura, he actually possesses part of the power of God Shura?This, what on earth is going on?

Reason made Tang San make the most correct choice, he raised his right hand abruptly, grabbed his left hand, and didn't let his left hand touch the magic sword.In Tang San's heart, he already vaguely felt that if he grabbed that magic sword at this moment, then the Shura God's power that had been completely suppressed by the Seagod's power in his body might rise again.At that time, my body may become their battlefield again.

That's no joke. The last time they were at the bottom of the sea, there was still the energy of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's soul ring for them to absorb, but now it's gone. They are really fighting in their bodies. I'm afraid it's me who is unlucky.As the saying goes, biting off more than one can chew, Tang San never dared to think that he could inherit the power of two gods at the same time. That was nothing more than wishful thinking.

Perhaps, God Shura is more powerful than the Poseidon he is planning to inherit now. However, even his great-grandfather was unable to absorb the power of God Shura after so many years of use. In the end, he died because of it. This shows how powerful Shura God is. Too domineering.Poseidon's power was relatively mild, and Tang San's process of inheriting Poseidon's power was step by step. He gradually passed the first eight of the nine Poseidon exams, leaving only the last one.Even though the Poseidon Trident was damaged, there was no doubt that Tang San would still choose it as his inheritance.

Therefore, he must not give himself a chance to revive the Shura divine power in his body. His great-grandfather left this sword with good intentions, giving him one more choice. In other words, the Shura Demonic Sword he left behind is probably the key to the inheritance of the Shura God. However, he must not touch this magic sword now.At least I have to wait until I complete the inheritance of Poseidon.The inheritance of the divine slander is too dangerous. Let's wait until we have the opportunity to find out the energy in this magic sword.

In fact, Tang San's guess was at least [-]% correct. Tang Chen kept this Shura Demon Sword just to give Tang San one more choice. When he met Tang San, he could tell that Tang San had already They had the God of Killing Domain, but Tang Hao, Tang San and his son, and Hu Liena didn't know that the God of Killing Domain they owned was actually the first test of God Shura.Only those who pass this first test have the possibility of inheriting the position of Shura God.The magic sword that Tang Chen left behind represents that he has passed most of the inheritance power of the God of Shura. As long as a soul master with the realm of the God of Death has the possibility of inheriting the God of Shura.

There is an essential difference between the inheritance of Shura God and that of Poseidon, which is mainly reflected in the choice of inheritors.The selection of Poseidon successors is absolutely specific. As long as one is chosen, they will be cultivated as subtly as possible until the chosen person has enough experience to complete the inheritance process.This point comes from the fact that the trace of Poseidon's spiritual thoughts that existed in Poseidon's Heart saved Tang San's life several times, and that after he came to Poseidon Island, he directly guided him to the Poseidon Nine Tests and taught him the first three moves of the Golden Thirteen Halberds. You can see it.

The inheritance of God Shura is much more dangerous. As the God of Slaughter, God Shura has stricter requirements on his own inheritors. Even without the trouble of God Rakshasa, it is not so easy to inherit the God of Shura.Therefore, when God Shura chose his own inheritors, he followed the idea of ​​casting a net widely and cultivating them one by one.Anyone who has obtained the domain of the God of Death is considered a chosen one, and in the end, who can inherit the position of the God of Shura depends on their own efforts.

Of course, there is another thing that Tang San doesn't know. Judging from the current situation, except for him, there is no one else who can inherit the Shura divine position.The level of Shura God is half a level higher than that of Poseidon, Rakshasa God, and Angel God. Although the previous generation of Shura God is no longer in this world, the divine thoughts he left behind do not need any carrier, as long as there are people If you can cultivate the Killing God Domain to a certain extent, it will mutate and transform into the power of Shura God, and its divine will will appear.

Previously, Tang Chen woke up under the influence of the Poseidon's Light released by Tang San, and immediately gained the approval of God Shura, so he could directly enter God Shura's demigod body. As long as he completes the inheritance, he can pass on God Shura's body. The position of God has been slandered.After all, Tang Chen had passed most of the tests of God Shura back then.

It is a pity that Tang Chen's physical condition no longer allows him to carry on the inheritance, and his broken body cannot withstand the huge energy impact within his body.After reluctantly arriving at Poseidon Island, he only lasted three days before leaving this world.Before dying, Tang Chen was of course not willing to let his energy flow between heaven and earth. Therefore, he refined the power of the Shura God he had obtained and concentrated it into this Shura Demon Sword. He believed that as long as When Tang San picked up this sword, he had the possibility of choosing to inherit the Shura God.Moreover, he also clearly instructed that the power of Shura God is more powerful than that of Poseidon.

Why was Tang San able to suppress the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?It is because the killing god domain has evolved to the role of the Shura domain.The breath of God Asura would make even a god tremble. Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is a million-year-old soul beast and extremely powerful, its realm is too far behind.

The reason why no one except Tang San can inherit the power of God Shura now is precisely because his God of Killing Domain was already recognized by God Shura when it evolved into the Domain of Shura.After Tang Chen died, Tang San, who owned the Shura realm, naturally became the first successor to the Shura god.Unless he also dies, the slander of God Shura can only be passed on by him.Of course, it would be another matter if Tang San did not choose to inherit the Shura God.

The existence of the Killing God Domain is, in a sense, like the Seagod's Light and Seagod Affinity obtained by Tang San. With the increase of Tang San's strength, the continuous evolution of the Killing God Domain is actually equivalent to the fact that Tang San is Continue to accept the assessment of God Shura.

When he faced the million-year-old Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, he exploded six soul rings at the same time, causing the God of Death domain attached to the Clear Sky Hammer to be stimulated by the extremely huge explosive power, resulting in a qualitative leap. Evolved into the Shura realm.And when Tang San attached the last soul ring to the Clear Sky Hammer, that is, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale Soul Ring, it brought sufficient energy to the evolution of the God of Death domain, which was the process of the Clear Sky Hammer turning from black to red. .The evolution process of the Shura realm has truly been completed.

Later, after absorbing the energy, Shura God's domineering murderous aura directly invaded Tang San's body, trying to invade all his soul bones and immersing his own spiritual thoughts in it. He was immediately repelled by the Poseidon energy that had long been fused with it, which caused That battle inside Tang San's body.

If the Poseidon energy in Tang San's body was intelligent, he would definitely feel very depressed. There must be someone who comes first, and everyone has chosen Tang San for so long. How can it be so easy for you, an outsider, to take over as soon as you come here?

Even though Asura God is stronger than Seagod, Seagod's divine power first took root in Tang San's body after all, and with the existence of Seagod Trident, the Seagod's power that has been subtle for these years finally gained the upper hand, but even so, Seagod The power of God Shura can only suppress the power of God Shura in Tang San's left arm but cannot drive it away, which shows how overbearing the power of God Shura is.The reason why it stayed on Tang San's left arm in the end was mainly because that was where Tang San released the Clear Sky Hammer's martial spirit, and the Clear Sky Hammer had now become the place where God Shura gathered on Tang San.

The magic sword that Tang Chen left behind was made from the power of Shura that he had accumulated over the years. In addition, before he died, he poured all his energy into it. It had already reached the level of a divine weapon and was approved by the God of Shura. , the quality is no less than that of Tang San's Poseidon Trident, and it can also be regarded as the medium of Shura God's inheritance.Therefore, if Tang San really picked up this magic sword, I'm afraid the situation inside his body would immediately change drastically.As for the final result, no one knows.No matter how tyrannical God Shura's power is, don't forget that this is Poseidon Temple, and it is Poseidon Island in the sea. It is still unclear who will win, but it is conceivable that Tang San, who is competed by two gods, will never It feels so good, but it may be beyond redemption.

Tang San's intelligence played a vital role at the critical moment. Instead of coveting the power of God Shura, he firmly grasped his left hand and even stepped back a few steps to open the gap between himself and the Demonic Shura Sword. Due to the distance, he resisted the powerful temptation of Shura Demonic Sword and refused to be fooled.

"Tang San, what's wrong with you?" Bo Saixi couldn't help asking after seeing Tang San's strange movements.

Tang San smiled bitterly and said: "It's nothing. What my great-grandfather left for me is really a great gift. However, no matter what, I'd better inherit the Seagod position first. The energy in this Shura Demonic Sword that my great-grandfather left behind is too much." Overbearing, if I accept it now, I'm afraid it will affect my Poseidon inheritance."

Bo Saixi took a deep look at Tang San, and nodded silently, "That's fine, I can help you complete the inheritance of the Sea God earlier, and I can be liberated earlier." While speaking, she waved her right hand, pulling Shura Demon Sword, put it back in the corner of Seagod Temple.

As he distanced himself from the Shura Demonic Sword, its powerful attraction suddenly weakened, and Tang San's expression also recovered. In terms of willpower, having experienced so many hardships, he was definitely one of the strongest people in the world.He quickly changed his thoughts and turned to look at the largest platform in the center of the Poseidon Temple, where he once pulled out the Poseidon Trident.

Bo Saixi said: "Call your friends to come in, the Seagod's energy is too huge, you will have a lot of energy overflowing when you inherit the god's slander, in order not to destroy this place, with their help, not only can you overflow energy absorption, and at the same time, it can protect this place from being destroyed."

"Senior, before the inheritance begins, there is something I must tell you." While talking, Tang San raised the Seagod Trident in his hand, and handed it to Bo Saixi.

Bo Saixi was stunned for a moment, and when her eyes fell on the hollow below the main blade of the Seagod Trident, her expression changed drastically, "Where's the Seagod's Heart? What's going on here?"

After meeting Tang San earlier, Bo Saixi's heart was filled with Tang Chen's figure, and she didn't notice the Seagod Trident in Tang San's hand. At this moment, Tang San handed the Seagod Trident to Bo Saixi. Something went wrong.

Tang San said bitterly: "It's all my fault for failing to protect the Poseidon Trident. Here's what happened..." At the moment, he recounted how he was chased by Qian Renxue, how the Poseidon Trident broke Poseidon's heart at the last moment, He said once again how the Poseidon’s divine thoughts protected him and escaped into the sea.

Listening to Tang San's words, Bo Saixi's face became more and more ugly, looking at the Seagod Trident in front of her, she couldn't help flashing.

"... That's it. In order to save me, the Seagod's Heart was broken. Senior, you are Seagod Douluo, the high priest of Seagod Island. Is there any way you can reshape the Seagod's Heart? If not, I will Can you still accept the inheritance of the Sea God?"

The light in Bo Saixi's eyes flashed continuously, revealing that she was thinking, but her face was always ugly. Obviously, the broken Seagod's heart is definitely not so easy to recover.

"Tang San, do you still remember the seventh Poseidon test you went through, when you pulled out the divine weapon, the Poseidon Trident?"

Tang San nodded, and said: "Of course I remember."

Bo Saixi said in a deep voice: "Then you must remember that when you first saw the trident, it did not have the Heart of the Poseidon. It was you who imprinted the Heart of the Poseidon on it after you pulled it out. . You originally brought Poseidon’s Heart here. In fact, the most important thing for the inheritance of Poseidon is Poseidon’s Heart. Poseidon’s Heart is not on Poseidon Island. Where is it? Even I, Poseidon, Even the high priest of the island doesn’t know that only when it meets someone suitable to inherit the Poseidon God’s slander, it will merge with it. It silently guides the chosen one to come here and experience the Poseidon’s test. After passing all the tests, Fang Being able to become a Poseidon. You can imagine how important the Poseidon’s Heart is.”

"Based on what you said, there are two things I can confirm first. The first point is that Poseidon's Heart recognizes you very much, so it will save your life even if it damages itself. But the other point is that Poseidon The trident also lost its spirit due to the broken heart of Poseidon. As a result, you lost the ability of this artifact. The information left by Poseidon shows that most of the abilities of the original Poseidon were obtained through the Trident of Poseidon. Release, one can imagine how important the Poseidon Trident is in the process of inheritance. You can hunt down the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and you have completed the previous assessment so well. If you have a complete Poseidon Trident Now, I am almost certain that your inheritance will go very smoothly. However, now that there is no Poseidon Heart and the assistance of the Poseidon Trident, what will happen in the process of inheriting the Poseidon? have no idea."

Tang San said: "Is there no way to restore Seagod's heart?"

Bo Saixi sighed and said, "I have told you that the Poseidon's Heart is an existence that I cannot understand. Let alone how it needs to be repaired. Perhaps, if you can complete the Poseidon's inheritance, this Poseidon Trident will be Recover on your own. However, this inheritance will also become extremely difficult. You are Tang Chen's great-grandson and his most outstanding descendant. You are so outstanding that you have reached level 30 before you are 99 years old. Frankly speaking, Tang San, from my personal point of view, or from your great-grandfather's point of view, I don't want you to carry out the inheritance. You have to know that once the inheritance fails, your only ending will be death."

Tang San sighed, "Senior, I understand your good intentions. However, it is impossible for me not to inherit the Poseidon God Slander. If there are no gods in this world, I should be able to cope with it with my current level 99 strength, no There is nothing wrong with becoming a god. However, a god of angels has appeared now. If I cannot complete the inheritance of the sea god, then no one in this world will be able to compete with him. I can never see the Wuhun Empire unify the entire continent. . If you don’t allow me to pass on the Poseidon God’s curse, then I will take a greater risk and try to pass on the Shura God’s curse left to me by my great-grandfather. But you also know that even my great-grandfather is so amazing and talented. In the end, they all ended up dead. And I already have a lot of Poseidon power in my body. Once I choose to inherit Shura God, I am afraid that the danger will be even more terrifying. Therefore, senior, please grant me. I promised the Poseidon Trident, no matter what, I will definitely I have to help it recover. It is my partner, and I will never let it lose its spirit like this."

Bo Saixi looked at Tang San, "You have really thought about it. Without the help of the Poseidon Trident, your inheritance process is likely to be a narrow escape. Just like the inheritance of the God of Angels requires an angel suit as a medium to help the inheritor Just like absorbing the divine power of the God of Angels, the Poseidon inheritance also needs to be guided by the energy of the Poseidon Trident to carry out the inheritance process. Without the Poseidon Trident, you will have no buffer in the inheritance process. And I am afraid there will be more Suffered a more severe test."

Tang San nodded silently, "Senior, you don't need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind, inheriting the Sea God is my only choice. I have no way out."

Bo Saixi sighed, "Tang San, oh Tang San, your persistence is exactly the same as that of your great-grandfather. You Tang family members all have such a tough temper. Even if you seem to be a thoughtful and restrained kid Same."

Tang San didn't speak again, but the more determined look in his eyes already told Bo Saixi the answer.Yes, he had no choice. In order to defeat Qian Renxue, in order to avenge his parents and Xiao Wu, in order to allow the continent to end the war as soon as possible.He has to do this.

Bo Saixi waved her hand. As if she was tired, she turned and walked towards the platform in the center of the hall, "Call your friends to come in."

Tang San nodded silently, "Senior, please keep it a secret for me. I don't want my partners to worry about me."

Bo Saixi nodded silently.

Only then did Tang San open the door of Seagod Hall, and walked out facing the light.

Douluo, the guardian of the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God, and the Six Shrek Monsters were waiting outside.Seeing Tang San walk out, Xiao Wu and the others had questioning looks in their eyes.

Tang San nodded slightly to them, and said: "Everyone come in with me. The inheritance is about to begin."

The expressions of the guardian Douluo of the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God changed almost at the same time, and the Sea Witch among them wanted to say something, but was stopped by Sea Dragon Douluo.

Right now Tang San was immersed in the upcoming inheritance, didn't notice these details, greeted his companions, turned around and returned to Seagod Hall.

Sea Dragon Douluo looked at the other Seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo with sharp eyes.The other six people then slowly lowered their heads.Under the leadership of Hai Long Douluo, they knelt down on one knee at the same time, and shouted in a deep voice: "Respectfully, my lord."

The thick Poseidon Temple door re-closed with the entry of the Shrek Seven Monsters.Separate yourself from everything inside and outside.The sea witch could no longer hold back the excitement in her heart, "Why, why must we inherit the divine slander. Master Bo Saixi is already pitiful enough..."

Sea Dragon Douluo sighed, and said: "Sea Witch, don't talk nonsense. Have you forgotten our mission? Our mission is to wait for a new generation of Sea God to come. To be able to witness this scene with our own eyes, we are already stronger than the Seven Sacred Pillars of all generations." Guardian Douluo is much stronger."

The Sea Witch choked up and said, "But what you have to pay for the inheritance of the Sea God is Lord Bo Saixi's life!"

(To be continued)
