Chapter 418 Summoning Human Players - Mermaid Past
After a while, the ten elders came to Zhou Leng's side. When they first saw the open door, they couldn't help but be shocked. The faint light from the crack of the door was like a layer of gauze, blocking everyone's sight, making people want to spy on the secret behind the door even more.
The great elder Di Tian asked: "Lan Tian, what happened?"
Zhou said calmly, "Elders, I feel the call of the Sea God. The Jade Gate is open for me. I need to go in and take a look to find out what happened. Elders, protect me."
The elders all had solemn expressions on their faces at this moment, their eyes fixed on the figure that was gradually disappearing in the light curtain.
As Zhou Leng's figure completely sank into it, the light curtain that was originally shining with mysterious light began to slowly dim, and finally returned to calm. The huge jade door also closed instantly.
The elders were extremely nervous. Their normally flexible tails were now stretched straight due to excessive force, like a sharp arrow with a fully drawn bowstring, ready to burst out with amazing power at any time. They still did not dare to relax at all, fearing that a single carelessness would lead to irreversible consequences.
Zhou Leng stepped into the mysterious and solemn Poseidon Temple. When he was actually inside the temple, he found that it was completely different from what he saw from the outside. The glittering jewels and jewels he had imagined did not appear, but a simple and elegant atmosphere replaced it.
Inside the hall stand huge milky white jade pillars, leading straight to the high roof. The surface of these pillars is as smooth as a mirror, exuding a faint warm luster, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace.
Looking up, the roof was inlaid with huge night-shining pearls, which were neatly arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper. Each night-shining pearl emitted a soft light, illuminating the hall like a dream. The hall seemed a little empty. In addition to the stone pillars and night-shining pearls, there was only a jade platform standing in the center of the hall.
A mermaid was quietly floating on the platform. It had a tail that shone with golden light, as if it was made of pure gold, and each scale was shining brightly. The mermaid was floating peacefully in the air, with her eyes closed, motionless, like a sleeping fairy, yet still alive.
Zhou Leng guessed from Di Lantian's memory that this was the legendary chieftain Di Chen revered by the mermaids.
About two thousand years ago, the mermaids were facing an unprecedented crisis - their long-standing method of cultivating magic power was inexplicably lost! Without this key method, the mermaids' power gradually weakened, and they could only survive in the deepest part of the open sea like frightened birds.
Fearing that their whereabouts would be exposed and they would be killed, they dared not even come up to the surface to breathe, let alone swim around freely as before. But a male mermaid took a risk and violated the strict family precepts passed down from generation to generation. He fell in love with a human woman and gave birth to a son.
This forbidden love was like a fuse that instantly ignited the sharp blade hanging over the heads of the mermaids, and a catastrophe came crashing down. Seeing that the entire tribe was about to fall into an abyss of no return, at this critical moment of life and death, the tribe leader Di Chen stepped forward and took on the responsibility of saving the tribe.
According to legend, Chief Di Chen was favored by the God of the Sea, who taught him the long-lost secrets of practicing magic.
Chief Di Chen was like a beacon in the darkness, lighting the way forward for the mermaids. Chief Di Chen practiced hard, and later, with his own powerful cultivation, he launched a desperate counterattack and saved the mermaids from the brink of destruction. Since then, mermaids are no longer hidden in the deep sea and unknown, but have transformed into a sacred object of respect and worship for all mankind.
Decades later, disaster struck. The alternate planes suddenly merged forcibly, and countless black holes appeared in the universe. Black holes also appeared on the Earth where the mermaids lived. Countless strange and creepy figures emerged from the darkness.
These figures have fish heads and human bodies, their eyes flashing with eerie green light, sharp teeth exposed, emitting waves of foul odor. Each evil creature with a fish head and a human body holds a variety of terrifying weapons, some are sharp bone spurs, and some are sharp bone knives.
Chief Di Chen led her people to help humans resist the fish-headed monsters. She made great military achievements. Unfortunately, after humans drove the fish-headed people back to the black hole, humans began to covet the long lifespan of the mermaids. They wanted the corpses of the deceased mermaids, and the two tribes turned against each other. After Di Chen repelled the humans, she led her people through the rock layer of the deepest trench, withstood the huge pressure of the sea water and reached the inland sea. The mermaids have lived a stable and happy life ever since.
More than a thousand years ago, the great leader of the mermaid tribe, Di Ai’an, was very powerful. He went to the outer sea alone to explore. He found that humans were almost destroyed by fish-headed people, and the land was full of crazy and rampant fish-headed people. He wanted to discuss with the tribe leader Di Chen, but no one answered after knocking on the door several times. After entering, he found that the tribe leader Di Chen had passed away. Di Ai’an placed his body on the jade platform of the Sea God Temple. This is what Zhou Leng saw now.
The leader of the Di Chen tribe was so powerful that his body remained intact even after a thousand years of death.
The great elder Di Aian passed away eight hundred years ago. The mermaids all practiced traditional magic. Di Aian was the child of the rebellious mermaid and a human, so he had a strong magical talent. After his death, no one has ever opened the door of the Temple of the Sea God again.
As the head of the tribe, Di Lantian knew all the past deeds of the mermaids, and Zhou Leng naturally found these precious information from her vast memory.
Zhou Leng's mind moved, and the originally smooth and delicate fish tail disappeared, replaced by two slender and straight jade legs. At the same time, the exquisite necklace on her neck seemed to have life, and at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, it turned into a snow-white long gown, gently covering her graceful body.
Almost every member of the mermaid tribe wears such a necklace, which is a powerful magical tool made from the ring bones that they spit out from their bodies after evolution. Not only can it change into various styles and colors of clothes at will, it also has excellent defensive power and can effectively resist attacks from external enemies.
Zhou Leng knelt down and kowtowed devoutly to the deceased Di Chen.
Xiao Ding floated beside him and bent down, murmuring, "What an admirable wise man."
Zhou Leng stood up and said, "Yes, we also want to fulfill the client's wish. Let's get started."
A ball of light floated out of Xiao Ding's cauldron. Zhou Leng exchanged it for twenty points. It was also the first time she spent so many points since she started the mission, just to make things easier. After all, building a mermaid kingdom is not easy.
