The Human Specimen Escaped!
To change the world—
Isn't it because Zhou Qing wanted to make this Douluo Continent a world similar to the one in his memories?
Moreover, if an uprising really breaks out in the future, people will inevitably die, and the number may not be small.
But he still wanted to do it!
To be selfish...
That's not an exaggeration.
Li Ya was speechless for a moment when Zhou Qing actually admitted to being selfish.
The reason she was so shaken was not because she immediately believed Ariel's words and the images presented, but because of the Sea Bloodline.
Every drop of water in the Great Sea records everything that has happened in the past.
Ariel is able to access the memories preserved in the seawater through her Bloodline Power. Li Ya, who is Ariel from a bloodline perspective, can clearly perceive the flow of seawater under Ariel's guidance, thanks to the golden Bloodline Power within her.
Those scenes are also facts recorded by the Great Sea!
She refused to believe it!
However, everything recorded by the Great Sea is so clear!
Therefore, she had no choice but to believe that the Sea God, Poseidon, was once a human, and an executioner who killed hundreds and thousands of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in order to become a god, and was also the murderer who killed her grandfather!
Her mother, the Sea Princess, was originally just a mermaid with over 500,000 years of cultivation. Because she submitted to the Sea God and served him as Sea God master, she was able to obtain the "heaven-sent" Golden Bloodline — the Sea Bloodline.
Upon closer reflection, Li Ya realized that this was indeed the truth!
If their Golden Bloodline is a gift from heaven, why does the Great Sea seem to be rejecting the Mermaid Clan? And why are the Mermaid Clan migrating to this Ice Sea?
Compared to the sea area where Sea God Island is located, there are far fewer species of life in this Ice Sea!
Moreover, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the Mermaid Clan to reproduce. Merfolk are also able to mate with humans and give birth to newborns. Otherwise, the males in the Mermaid Clan simply cannot reproduce!
"Is all of this true?" Li Ya asked repeatedly.
"I just taught you how to use the Bloodline Power to perceive the memories of the Great Sea. This is something even your mother couldn't do; only those born with the Sea Bloodline can do it."
Ariel said earnestly, "Although your mother was not born with the Golden Bloodline, under the influence of my Bloodline Power, your bloodline during your pregnancy is gradually changing towards mine. Although it is not complete, it is still much purer than your mother's."
Romantina suddenly interjected, "So, you could say that Li Ya is the daughter you had through the Sea Princess?"
Li Ya: "..."
Ariel was speechless, but she still forced herself to explain the difference between her and Li Ya, saying, "No! She is a mermaid, unlike me, a creature born from the Great Sea! When she dies, she leaves behind a body, but if I die, I will turn into sea foam and return to the embrace of the Great Sea."
This statement—
That shows a complete lack of emotional intelligence!
However, it describes the differences between the two in a very intuitive way!
Logically speaking, a being like Ariel, born of nature itself, should not be classified as Soul Beast. However, due to historical issues left over from the Divine Realm gods and Dragon God of the past, all non-human beings on Planet ruled by the Divine Realm are restricted.
On Douluo Star, non-human beings are simply and crudely categorized into the category of Soul Beast. Moreover, except in special spaces—such as the City of Slaughter —they will all have Soul Ring appear after death.
Just as Li Ya was questioning her existence, wondering whether she was the daughter of the Sea Princess or Ariel, the sea in the distance began to churn.
"Oh no, my sister Li Na is catching up!"
Li Ya realized what was happening and led Ariel and Zhou Qing to swim away from the Mermaid Clan's residential area.
"They're up ahead! Go after them!"
Li Na, with her sharp eyes, noticed that it was Li Ya leading the way and realized that she had been persuaded by Ariel.
In reality, wasn't she the same?
But she is the daughter of the Sea Princess!
Regardless of the truth, for the future of the Mermaid Clan, this past must be ignored!
Li Na's cultivation level was much stronger than Li Ya's, and Ariel's Soul Power fluctuations were only at the Soul King level. In addition, they were also carrying Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina, who were four "burdens," which made their speed extremely slow.
"You guys go first, I'll hold her off!"
Li Ya flung Ariel, Zhou Qing, and the others toward the edge of the mermaid settlement. The powerful force made it impossible for them to resist, and they were thrown about in the seawater.
Even though the Mermaid Clan are not good at strength, Li Ya's cultivation level is close to the Hundred-Thousand-Year level, which is something that Zhou Qing and others at this time cannot contend with.
What about Ariel?
Although she is the Daughter of the Sea, the Bloodline Power her Sea Bloodline was extracted by the Sea God 20,000 years ago, which made her cultivation extremely slow. It wasn't until she came into contact with humans and secretly tried to awaken her Martial Soul and obtain the Sea Halberd that she found a way to quickly improve her cultivation.
Even so, she is only at the Soul King level now, and is much weaker than Li Ya in terms of strength.
Boom!
Zhou Qing tumbled and crashed into a Mermaid Building made of seashells, smashing a hole in it before falling to the ground!
"Hiss--"
The pain in his back made Zhou Qing gasp.
Turning his head, he looked around and saw that he had been pushed to a certain place. He saw seven or eight mermaids surrounding a big man and doing the deed in the shade of willows and flowers. They let out a long hiss!
That big man was none other than Heidel!
After being taken away from the Crystal Palace, Heidel's Soul Power was sealed, and he was brought to this area inhabited by mermaids with low cultivation levels to provide Life seeds for the growth of the mermaid race.
At first, Heidel was somewhat excited, but because these mermaids had low cultivation levels, they were unable to transform their fish tails into legs, causing little Heidel to be painfully scratched by the fish scales and covered in blood.
Moreover, these merfolk took turns coming, and they used some kind of drug, which always kept little Heidel looking radiant.
In this way--
Little Heidel, on the other hand, was unusually energetic...
But Heidel was pale and looked like he was about to be drained to death.
"Help... me!"
Upon seeing Zhou Qing crash into the Shell House, Heidel grasped at a straw, trembling as he raised his hand to Zhou Qing, his lips quivering as he cried out for help from the bottom of his heart!
Zhou Qing checked the Water Repelling Bead and confirmed that the filth released by Heidel would not stain his skin. Then, Martial Soul Possession to activate his Second Soul Skill: Winter Chant.
The purple Soul Ring shimmered, with a pattern of two Dancing Winter Rabbit chasing each other drawn at the center.
Soul Ring lit up!
The Soul Disk appears!
Zhou Qing suddenly felt the ice and water energies from the surrounding seawater surge into his body, circulating along with his Soul Power to his legs, and then—
Chant!
Zhou Qing ran through the water, leaving a thin layer of ice in his wake. Before the mermaids with low cultivation could react, he grabbed Heidel's arm, took his clothes, draped them over his hips, and then ran away without looking back.
"The race has run away!"
"The race has run away!"
"The race has run away!"
Only when Zhou Qing disappeared did the mermaids Shell House react, shouting and rushing out in a chaotic frenzy...
