Chapter 237 Worldly Fate [7] The Daughter of the Sea
Shui Qingli was still in seclusion. His power had long since recovered in this sea. However, comprehending the power of laws was a long process, which meant that he remained oblivious to the outside world.
However, during this day-to-day seclusion, this Sea of Birth, which already possessed considerable divine power and was blessed by the Lord of Water, gave birth to more and more living beings.
The origin of ancient life is the ocean, and earlier development allowed marine creatures to develop consciousness earlier, forming unique primordial spirits.
In this more chaotic environment, everything still seemed to follow the law of "survival of the fittest," and after a long period of evolution, the Daughter of the Sea was born—a primitive mermaid fairy who surpassed other marine creatures, Haiyan.
Haiyan's bodyguard, Hai Qingtang, also gradually took human form and became Haiyan's most loyal protector. Due to his considerable strength, he was given the title of "General Hai".
(This strength is relative and certainly cannot be compared to that of a Saint-level fairy.)
The birth of intelligent creatures in the sea gave this primordial sea a name—the Xuyan Sea—and brought basic order to the original Xuyan Sea, with everything developing in an orderly manner.
As the de facto ruler of this sea area, Haiyan quickly discovered, while managing her relationships, that there was a magnificent palace at the deepest part of the seabed.
"When did this palace appear here?" Haiyan looked at the magnificent palace that had suddenly appeared on the seabed, her mind filled with doubt.
“Although this is the center of Xuyan Sea, we have never been here before.” Hai Qingtang shook his head in confusion as well, he had not expected to find such a palace here.
"Let's go take a look." Haiyan wanted to find out what was going on, but suddenly stopped in the small square in front of the palace.
"What's wrong?" Hai Qingtang was surprised that Hai Yan would suddenly stop. He saw Hai Yan reach out her hand and stop him from continuing forward.
"Don't go over there, something's wrong with this palace." As they got closer, Haiyan discovered that there was a faint barrier around the palace. It didn't look threatening, but it contained extremely domineering immortal power. They could tell from a single probe that it was something they couldn't break through.
Although Haiyan and Haiqingtang felt that there was some secret hidden in this palace, they dared not try to break the barrier, and since this place was in the middle of Xuyan Sea, after some discussion, they decided to temporarily stay here.
Unexpectedly, this peace lasted for decades. Even after so much time had passed, the palace remained tightly closed, with no one ever seen going in or coming out.
Of course, when Yue Yuanming came to visit Shui Qingli, his strength meant that Hai Yan and Hai Qingtang would not easily see him.
Fortunately, the palace has remained submerged in the Xuyan Sea for many years and has not caused any other problems, so Haiyan has stopped paying attention to it.
However, on this very day, a tremendous change shattered the tranquility of this period. The once silent palace suddenly began to shake inexplicably, and unprecedented divine power rippled outwards, causing a powerful earthquake in this underwater world.
Haiyan and Haiqingtang, who were resting in their palace, were startled by the sudden change and came outside. Looking at the huge vortex above the palace, they both showed expressions of extreme shock.
"This is..." Hai Qingtang asked with a grim expression, and when he turned around, he saw Hai Yan, who also had a solemn expression.
Haiyan and Haiqingtang could both sense the overwhelmingly powerful immortal energy emanating from the palace, a power they had never seen before. Yet, in the instant it appeared, it seized control of the sea, causing these two fairies, who governed the creatures of the sea, to experience for the first time a feeling of being unable to merge with the ocean.
Ultimately, they are merely creatures born from the sea, but not its true masters.
The sea is also made of water, and no one can surpass the ruler of water to command the sea.
“Let’s go take a look.” Haiyan made the decision immediately, but before they could get close to the palace, they were blocked by an invisible force.
Haiyan looked up in surprise and saw a figure covered in black robes above the palace, looking at the palace ravaged by immortal power.
A faint sound pierced through the boundless sea, and Haiyan and Haiqingtang, in the distance, heard a voice tinged with worry and melancholy:
"Qingli..."
