After briefly explaining his definition of "human," Zhou Qing asked Li Ya about something else. "Since you ran away from home, the Sea Princess will probably send someone to look for you, right?"
"I can hide her aura." As the Daughter of the Sea, it was effortless for Ariel to prevent Li Ya's aura from being tracked by the Merfolk Tribe.
But Zhou Qing had another idea. "Hiding forever isn't a solution. Perhaps Li Ya can find a way to win over a group of mermaids."
The Mermaid Tribe was enormous. It was impossible for every individual to worship the Sea God; there would surely be a small group willing to pursue the truth.
As half-human, half-Soul Beast beings, mermaids were naturally born with humanity's curiosity and would seek the truth.
This was especially true of younger mermaids, who would inevitably possess a stronger desire to explore.
Therefore, Zhou Qing hoped that, in the future, a group of mermaids could cooperate with humans—the ocean, whether in the distant future or perhaps not-so-distant future, had to be developed and utilized.
With the help of the mermaids, known as the spirits of the sea, they would surely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Moreover, after the Merfolk Tribe began worshipping the Sea God and stole the Daughter of the Sea's Golden Bloodline, they had long since been abandoned by the ocean. Only by abandoning their faith in Poseidon and earning Ariel's forgiveness could they obtain the Will of the Ocean's understanding.
Why was it said that the mermaids had been abandoned by the ocean?
Ever since the Sea Princess seized Ariel's Bloodline Power and the Merfolk Tribe began worshipping the Sea God, their birth rate had gradually declined. Males had become especially scarce. All of this was the clearest proof,
