Zhou Qing Doesn't Believe in Fortune

"My son... and my son..."

Heidel, his face pale, glanced back at the mermaids emerging from the Shell House, trembling all over.

Is this a mermaid?

They're clearly a group of prostitutes!

It can be said that the filter of beauty, purity, good fortune, and so on that the mermaid represented in Heidel's heart was shattered.

Only--

Although he was saved by a kind person, his son is still suffering!

Even though his son's seeds were harvested, he will have mermaid grandchildren, but will those grandchildren recognize him as their grandfather?

"Let's run out now and talk about it later!"

Zhou Qing was speechless at Heidel's concern for his son, but she understood.

After all, in the original story, the reason this guy went so far as to lead the Shrek Seven Devils to the Demon Whale Sea to confront the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was because his son had died at the hands of the Shrek Seven Devils.

At this moment, it's perfectly normal for Heidel to still be thinking about his son.

"Qing Ge!"

Tang San also ran out from another Mermaid Building, carrying a young man on his back.

"Son!"

When Heidel caught sight of the figure behind Tang San, his eyes widened immediately, and his pale complexion returned to normal. He was so excited that his lips trembled.

However, Heidel's son had already fainted and was unable to respond.

Seeing Heidel's agitation behind him, Zhou Qing called out, "Don't move! Your son just fainted! He's fine!"

Immediately, Heidel quieted down.

Zhou Qing wasn't entirely at ease. After meeting with Tang San, he stuffed Heidel into the Gray Pouch and also put Heidel's son, which Tang San was carrying, inside as well.

Immediately, the two saw Ariel swimming towards them with Xiao Wu and Romantina, and they went to meet them, following them away from this dangerous place.

Led by Ariel, the four left the mermaids' dwelling and hid in a Seabed Cave.

"What should we do next?" Tang San asked Ariel, panting as he circulated his Mysterious Heaven Skill to recover his Soul Power. "We can hold out a little longer, but the people inside Qing Ge's Storage Soul Tool can't last long. Without fresh water, they'll die of thirst in three days."

Three days later, not only the people in Zhou Qing's Gray Pouch, but also the others will be in Life danger due to lack of water and food.

Although the Water Repelling Bead are amazing, as they can form an invisible membrane on their bodies, allowing them to breathe normally as they would on land and reducing pressure on the seabed, they obviously cannot eat normally on the seabed.

"Captain Ariel, since you can sense the memories of the seawater, is it possible to find the Undercurrent Channel through Vast Sea City?" Zhou Qing asked.

"Yes!"

After Zhou Qing's reminder, Xiao Wu and Romantina realized that since Ariel could read the memories of the sea, she could also find the way to Vast Sea City, or other coastlines near the mainland.

"It's not that simple."

Ariel shook her head.

If her Bloodline Power were fully restored, she might be able to find the Undercurrent Channel leading to Vast Sea City by relying on her senses. But now she has only recovered a little bit, and the Great Sea is so vast, how could she possibly find the exact Undercurrent Channel?

The ability to extract the memories of Bo Saixi's conquest of the Great Sea 20,000 years ago is simply because Poseidon achieved Divine Throne and his power was so great that the entire Great Sea was affected.

The Will of the Ocean chose Poseidon simply because it hoped that someone could help the Great Sea establish a more complete Life cycle.

But who knew that after becoming a god, Poseidon Saidong never intended to truly assume the responsibilities of the Sea God? A hundred years later, he even left Douluo Continent for the Divine Realm...

Great Sea Fortune upon Poseidon, and all the resources it had given him, had gone down the drain!

Even after leaving Douluo Continent, Poseidon continued to occupy the faith of the Sea Soul Beast—

That's truly unfilial!

Thinking of this, Ariel looked Zhou Qing over again, sighing inwardly, hoping that the Will of the Ocean wouldn't choose the wrong person this time...

"This is troublesome."

Zhou Qing, unaware of Ariel's thoughts, saw her frowning and also furrowed his brow.

Should we go back and discuss it with the Sea Princess?

With the Star of the Ocean in hand, Zhou Qing knew that the other party would never make things difficult for them, and they also seemed unlikely to truly harm Ariel, the Daughter of the Sea.

The Sea Princess clearly wanted to befriend them, and might stall them for a while, perhaps even trying to have a mermaid seduce her...

Judging from the lustful expressions on the faces of those mermaids when they took possession of Heidel, the Sea Princess herself might very well be capable of doing such a thing!

He has important things to do, and the Holy Soul Village base has only just entered its initial stage. How can he stay here?

Furthermore!

The Sea Princess belongs to the Sea God lineage. Zhou Qing has a natural aversion to gods and does not want to have any interaction with them in the short term.

"I have an idea."

Ariel said, "I can sense undercurrents in the sea ten kilometers to the north. There should be several Undercurrent Vortex Channel. Why don't you just choose one?"

"Are you serious?"

Zhou Qing's eyes widened to the size of a bull's, and her mouth gaped open. "How can you just choose something like this?"

He understood Ariel's thoughts—

Having obtained the Star of the Star of the Ocean, he is chosen by the will of the Great Sea, destined for Fortune; any path he chooses could potentially be the right one...

However, Zhou Qing did not completely believe in the concept of Fortune!

Even if Fortune truly exists, and there is indeed some kind of will watching over you in the unseen world, that will certainly not be able to calculate to the extent that it is all-encompassing.

The general trend is irreversible, but minor trends can be changed.

Applying this to oneself might mean that one is being targeted by the Will of the Ocean and will inevitably break through to the Level 100 —that's the general trend. However, the minor trend can be altered, which means that the process can be easy and pleasant, or it can be full of twists and turns.

And!

What if this Star of the Ocean wasn't a gift from the so-called Will of the Ocean, but rather intended to be delivered to someone else through my hands?

That possibility isn't entirely out of the question!

After all, the Great Sea just needs something to help it better establish Great Sea internal ecological cycle system, and that something doesn't necessarily have to be Zhou Qing; it can be changed!

Perhaps if he randomly chose a passage, an accident would occur, resulting in the deaths of everyone except Ariel, and the Star of the Ocean would find a new owner...

"You have quite the imagination!"

Seeing Zhou Qing's excited expression as he described his guess, Ariel couldn't help but roll her eyes. "The will of the Great Sea cannot be compared with the will of humans or intelligent Soul Beast. It is a more magnificent existence, not as complicated as you described... But you are right, the Great Sea does need to cultivate an existence to continuously improve the Life of the Great Sea, uh, according to you, it is an ecological cycle system."

"We really can't take too many risks!"
