CHAPTER 668: CHAPTER 667: ALL THINGS BURIED IN DUST - WHO HASN’T BEEN YOUNG BEFORE?

In Jerusalem in the heart of Atlantis, the level of prosperity was second to none in the Crimson Land.

What kind of power could cause such a beautiful and thriving place to decline and perish so quickly?

As he pondered, Lu Zixun successfully encountered Hai Zhuming.

Dressed in ceremonial garments, Hai Zhuming seemed especially divine today.

"Xin... thank you."

Watching as Hai Xin handed Lu Zixun over to her, Hai Zhuming almost couldn’t help calling out "Grandpa Xin," but she managed to slam on the brakes in time and didn’t reveal any slip-up.

Faced with the Saintess’s gratitude, Hai Xin solemnly clenched his right fist, placing it over his heart, "To serve the Saintess is our duty; the Saintess need not give thanks."

Having completed his mission, Hai Xin turned and boarded the shuttle to leave.

It was only after the shuttle vanished into the void that Hai Zhuming came back to her senses, her face visibly tinged with a hint of loss.

Taking Zixun back to the Saintess’s residence, the room was much larger and more splendid than those in Jerusalem.

But Hai Zhuming... was not so happy.

Sitting alone and quietly on the bed, Hai Zhuming silently stared ahead, her eyes reflecting her heavy heart.

"What are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, a male voice filled the room, startling Hai Zhuming so much that she jumped up and cautiously surveyed her surroundings, "Who’s there!"

"At times like this, you should have activated your Sea Energy to protect yourself, instead of looking so panicked."

Jumping onto the table to meet Hai Zhuming’s gaze, Lu Zixun licked his paw.

"Kitty, you can talk?!"

Hai Zhuming looked astonished upon hearing Lu Zixun speak.

Completely without guard or suspicion, Lu Zixun silently shook his head.

At this moment, if he had wanted to kill Hai Zhuming, it would have been effortlessly easy.

"I’ve always been able to talk; it’s just that, for some reasons, I didn’t speak."

Rolling around on the tabletop, Lu Zixun seemed quite relaxed and comfortable, "Can you tell me now what you were just thinking about?"

Perhaps it was because she had come to this strange environment, combined with the fact that she had always maintained the image of the Saintess, Hai Zhuming suddenly opened up to Lu Zixun without any worries.

She wasn’t concerned if Lu Zixun’s silence had other underlying purposes.

Faced with this version of Hai Zhuming, Lu Zixun listened to her talk about the matters of the Different Space, while also feeling somewhat dumbfounded.

He didn’t know if he should consider Hai Zhuming naive or simply foolish.

"In this world, I’ve seen my parents, but it seems their affection for me isn’t that close, which troubled me."

"I can sense that in this world, there are no Deep Divers, only the Merfolk. Kitty, do you think it’s possible that the Deep Divers appeared in the Snowfield Frost Land only after I brought Hedis here?"

"Tomorrow, I’m supposed to undergo the Heart of the Ocean ceremony, and I really don’t want to. I have a feeling that once I accept the Heart of the Ocean, this phase will end, and I really don’t want to leave my mother."

"It’s been... a long time since I’ve seen her."

Lu Zixun, having understood the situation of this Different Space from Hai Zhuming’s words, looked at her as she was on the verge of tears and, for a while, didn’t know what to say.

It’s not like he could tell Hai Zhuming that Hedis is actually her mother, could he?

This story, as told by Hai Xin, made Lu Zixun feel extremely complicated,

even he had some difficulty accepting it, let alone Hai Zhuming.

Originally, Hedis, as a Saintess of the Merfolk, had fallen incredibly in love with Hai Lanyue in a most melodramatic way.

At that time, Hai Lanyue wasn’t called Hai Lanyue but was instead known as Xuan Lanyue.

Hedis, destined to become a merciful and all-encompassing Sea God, how could she possibly be with a mere Spiritual Ability User? Therefore, Hedis was imprisoned.

And at that time, Xuan Lanyue’s love for Hedis could be said to be as clear as day and night.

He immediately stormed into Atlantis, triggering a disturbance beneath the sea.

However, the outcome was clearly not so beautiful, Xuan Lanyue did not live the version of the protagonist.

With his power at the time, trying to steal the Saintess from Atlantis was simply a pipe dream.

Not to mention Hedis’s position in the Sea God’s heart.

What the Sea God had not anticipated was that Hedis would actually give up the Divine Position of the Sea God for the sake of Xuan Lanyue.

After escaping from prison, Hedis forcefully transferred the Heart of the Ocean into Xuan Lanyue’s body, successfully helping him acquire the Divine Position.

Humans had actually become the masters of Atlantis, what a sad affair.

But what’s done was done, and it was no longer possible to stop what had happened.

The Sea God could only accept Xuan Lanyue’s identity, and forced him to change his name to Hai Lanyue.

If the story ended here, might it still be a beautiful fairy tale?

Did love move the Divine?

Unfortunately, reality is not a fairy tale.

Since there was now an heir to the position of the Sea God, all the favoritism Hedis had enjoyed was taken back.

The Sea God personally cast a curse, turning the noble Merfolk into Deep Divers.

At that time, Hedis was already pregnant.

After Hai Lanyue learned of this, he said nothing.

But the next day, the cobalt waters of Atlantis turned to blood, and blood rain fell from the sky, marking Hai Lanyue’s successful deicide.

From that day on, Hai Lanyue became especially cruel and ruthless.

The ocean, which embraced everything, could not even contain Hedis.

The Divine were so small-minded.

If that was the case, Hai Lanyue would rather have the city join him in descending to hell.

However, the story did not end there.

During the destruction of Haitelantis, using the amassed Blood Evil Aura, he broke through the Sea God’s curse.

Perhaps the birth of Hai Zhuming allowed Hai Lanyue to regain his sanity, and likewise, saved Atlantis.

But a child born in such a way also faced a problem: a baby with Blood Evil Aura was likely to die young.

Even if they survived, they would become cruel and ruthless beings in the future.

In order to find a solution, Hai Zhuming was protected within the Deep Divers.

At the same time, Hai Lanyue began searching for a way to purify the Blood Evil Aura.

This was the secret that Hai Xin concealed.

Lu Zixun’s gaze fell on Hai Zhuming; now, he could not sense any trace of the Blood Evil Aura on her.

It seemed that Hai Lanyue had perfectly resolved the issue.

As for why Hai Lanyue and Hedis staged this drama of Divine Enthronement, Lu Zixun thought about it and could understand.

Perhaps sensing the imminent end of an era, only by becoming Divine could one possess the power to contend.

"I have seen your father."

After a long silence, Lu Zixun looked at the tearful Hai Zhuming and said earnestly, "He has entrusted me with a matter."
