Chapter 670: Chapter 669: A Belated Apology, A Forever Farewell

An alliance with the Merfolk, as well as intelligence about the Third-order World.

After weighing his options for a moment, Lu Zixun agreed on the spot.

He definitely didn’t agree because of these things alone, he just felt pained that Hai Zhuming, at such a young age, had to bear such a heavy burden.

“I agree!”

Zixun looked utterly serious as he gave his consent, which made Hai Xin smile wryly.

Indeed, just as her lord had described, that cat was insufferably mercenary.

After signing the contract with Zixun, Hai Xin’s body began to gradually dissipate.

Looking at Zixun with a faint smile, “The Third-order World is the sky. Farewell.”

Hai Xin transformed into seawater and disappeared in front of Zixun, whose heart was suddenly engulfed by a massive tidal wave of shock.

The divisions of the world were just like this: earth, ocean, and sky.

The First-order World was the earth, the Second-order World was the ocean, and the Third-order World was the sky. Back when he was in human society, Zixun always felt that something was wrong. Now, thinking back, it must have been the world’s rules that blocked his memory.

In the conventional understanding, the world is round, which makes perfect sense.

But in human society, there was only earth. There was no ocean at all.

Initially, Zixun thought the world was split in half, one side being human society and the other being the Crimson Land. Now it appeared that was not the case.

“Boom!”

A thunderous noise echoed beside Zixun’s ears, and the Star Map inside him began to revolve.

In Atlantis’s Sky Pool 05, attracted by the Star Map to Zixun’s side, entered into Zixun himself.

Zixun discovered that this Sky Pool’s appearance was that of a Bleak with only one eye, which was the very Mutant Beast that once helped Zixun absorb pure distortion.

This…

The Sky Pool had not been absorbed, but instead remained within Zixun’s Star Map. Perhaps it would wait until Zixun reached F-level to be absorbed.

Meanwhile, this Different Space also began to grow unstable,

as if something from the outside wanted to force its way in.

But it wasn’t long before a chilling voice rang out over Jerusalem: “Begone!”

The seawater churned, and the invading presence was repelled, calming the Different Space once more.

Just now, that voice should have been Hai Lanyue’s.

If Zixun wasn’t mistaken, Hai Lanyue possessed Divine powers throughout the entire space.

Yet, concerning that invasive entity, Zixun remained quite curious. However, when faced with the choice between life and curiosity, Zixun chose life.

Back in his room, looking at Hai Zhuming who did not awaken from the recent tremors, Zixun’s gaze deepened by a shade.

Perhaps he should embark on a mission called “Goddess Development”?

However, Zixun was just contemplating the idea. If he truly acted on it, he suspected Lin Siyin would have to thoroughly handle him.

The next day, the seawater surrounding Jerusalem shimmered with a twinkling glow.

And with the Maid’s help, Hai Zhuming changed into a more stately and splendid dress.

Of course, Zixun was not in the room during the clothing change.

How could Lu Zixun, a gentleman, become indecent just because he turned into a cat!

“I…I’m so nervous, Kitty.”

Standing on the battleship, Hai Zhuming’s breathing noticeably quickened by a third, it was clear she was truly nervous.

Curiously observing the battleship, Lu Zixun, on hearing this, turned to look at Hai Zhuming and his mustache trembled slightly: “This is your home, what do you have to be nervous about?”

Hearing Lu Zixun say that, Hai Zhuming murmured to herself and wanted to raise her hand to touch her face, but remembering the maid’s reminder, she put her hand down again.

“So what’s there to be nervous about, the Heart of the Ocean is bound to be yours. In this situation, do you think Hedis could steal the Heart of the Ocean right under Hai Lanyue’s nose? Impossible, I couldn’t even do it.”

Lu Zixun analyzed the current situation and said nonchalantly, “So don’t be nervous, everything is under control.”

His well-reasoned words made Hai Zhuming laugh: “Okay then, Kitty, you’re quite the smooth talker, have you been studying this or something?”

Lu Zixun rolled his eyes at Hai Zhuming, thinking is this something that requires study? Isn’t it just using your brain?

As the battleship slowly moved, Atlantis came into view.

Hai Lanyue was sitting on the throne at the time, looking gently at Hai Lanyue in a formal dress.

The sight of ‘once in a thousand years’ silenced Lu Zixun for a moment.

If the Sea God hadn’t cursed them back then, perhaps that’s what they would have looked like.

At that moment, Lu Zixun had a realization; perhaps Hai Lanyue arranged this ceremony to make up for past regrets?

Looking up, Lu Zixun then noticed the woman beside Hai Lanyue.

Hai Zhuming bore an extreme resemblance to her, as if they were carved from the same mold.

Compared to the utterly ugly Deep Diver, Hedis at that moment…

Truly resembled the protagonist from the mural on the stone door in the Jerusalem library.

Perhaps what Hedis was holding at the time wasn’t just some luminous pearl, but…the Heart of the Ocean.

And the one who received the sacrifice was probably Hai Lanyue.

Making such an elaborate display, maybe only here could Hai Lanyue allow Hedis to have the beauty she once had. Taking a deep breath, Lu Zixun slowly exhaled, filled with melancholy.

The kind and benevolent gazes of the two made Hai Zhuming’s eyes uncontrollably redden, her emotions telling her that these two before her were her real parents.

But reason also reminded Hai Zhuming that all of this was just an illusion.

“The Divine Position coronation, the blessing begins.”

As the military leader of the Merfolk, Hai Xin stood at the connecting point of the battleship, booming his orders with emotion.

However, Lu Zixun knew that this Hai Xin was no longer the one he knew.

Lu Zixun, standing on the battleship, did not go down with them.

Instead, he quietly waited on the battleship for Hai Zhuming to receive the Heart of the Ocean and leave this world.

Walking to the center of the hall, Hai Zhuming stood there very ladylike, but tears involuntarily flowed from her eyes; for some reason, she felt very, very sad inside.

“Don’t cry, my daughter.”

Hedis came up to Hai Zhuming, raising her hand to wipe the tears from her face, her voice gentle: “Today is a happy day, your father and I are very proud of your growth.”

Hai Lanyue, with the Heart of the Ocean in hand, also approached Hai Zhuming.

After pushing the Heart of the Ocean towards Hai Zhuming and it entered her body,

Hai Lanyue opened his arms and embraced the two people he loved the most, kissing Hai Zhuming’s forehead: “You will always be my pride, always.”

“I’m sorry.”

Gently touching her daughter’s cheek, Hedis whispered softly.

Different Space, breaking.
