Chapter 689: Chapter 47 Resurrection [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_2
The reason for this unified force attacking the Nine States Continent is the decree of the God Mother.
If this decree is confirmed to be forged, then the Merfolk Queen, with a wave of her arm, would still hope for peace, and the Sea Demon Clan descendants who yearn for peace would definitely be the majority.
Under the leadership of Princess Lian Ge, the three of them followed the waterway into a palace at the center of Merfolk Island.
This palace in the ruins is considered luxurious, but it’s nothing more than a plain white hall with no particular decoration. Looking at its color, it seems to be made of the bones of some giant creature.
With the princess leading the way, the merfolk guards didn’t stop them, and they smoothly arrived in the middle of the main hall.
There is a water pool on the high platform, with a throne in the pool. The Merfolk Queen, with her attractive form, sprawled on the throne. She wore a golden robe, her hair was smooth, her eye corners were lifted high, and the look she gave them was very unfriendly.
"Lian Ge, how dare you bring human cultivators here?" She asked sternly, "Did they threaten you?"
"No, Mother!" Princess Lian Ge quickly replied: "Warrior Xu is the one who saved me. They are all good people. What I want to tell you about is the conspiracy of the navy!"
Immediately, she repeated to the Merfolk Queen everything Chu Liang had told her earlier. The gist of it was that the Golden Frog was fake, and indeed a conspiracy of Mars.
Then there was a long silence.
After thinking for a long time, the Merfolk Queen suddenly leapt up, saying, "Follow me."
Princess Lian Ge naturally listened to her mother and followed, while Xu Ziyang and the others, not understanding why, also followed.
After walking around behind the steps of the throne, she pressed some mechanism, a wall inside opened on either side, revealing a golden expanse of a water pool. When the water surface was calm, it was as if it was a ground made of pure gold.
"If you want to find proof of the true or false Golden Frog, you have to go down there." Having said that, the Merfolk Queen jumped into the pool first.
Princess Lian Ge hesitated for a moment, then jumped in afterward.
Wang Xuanling, together with the other two, looked at each other, then also entered the pool. In the boundless golden color, it was extremely difficult to see with the naked eye. They could only rely on their divine sense to perceive what’s in front and to slowly follow the shadow of Princess Lian Ge.
This pool did not look big, but it was very deep. After a long time of descending, they finally reached the bottom of the pool. There was a water cave here, and after going in, the inside was actually completely dry. Not a drop of the golden water from the outside could get in.
But after the three of them entered the water cave one after another, they only saw Princess Lian Ge and there was no sign of the Merfolk Queen.
"Where’s Mother?" Princess Lian Ge stared blankly at the three of them.
"Not good." Chu Liang realized something was wrong. Just as he wanted to turn back, he suddenly saw a change happen.
The golden pool outside the cave froze almost instantly, quickly forming into a large, solid golden column, completely blocking the exit of the water cave.
"A trap?"
Wang Xuanling’s eyebrows furrowed as he took up the Demon-slaying Sword and slashed fiercely.
Swoosh--
The sword cut through, and the sword qi opened up a crack several feet long. It was uncertain how long it would take to climb up.
"Chu Liang, it seems we need your Spirit Beast Tuntun." Wang Xuanling said.
Heh.
Calling it a Heaven Devouring Beast when it’s not needed, but calling it Tuntun when it is.
Chu Liang muttered, looking at this highly spiritual golden column, he was also a bit apprehensive, "Won’t this make Tuntun eat till it’s eighty percent full?"
Just as they were figuring out how to break through, they heard the voice of the Merfolk Queen from outside.
"This is the Merfolk Cave, go ahead, you will find all the answers you want inside."
...
"Merfolk Cave?"
Upon hearing her mother’s voice, Princess Lian Ge appeared extremely surprised.
"So, this is the forbidden place that only the successive queens of our Merfolk Tribe are permitted to enter, isn’t it?"
"Successive queens?" Wang Xuanling, Xu Ziyang, and Chu Liang exchanged looks.
After a moment’s thought, Chu Liang said, "I think we could go in and take a look. If the intent of the Merfolk Queen was to trap us, it wouldn’t make sense to use her only daughter as bait. I have a feeling she has something she wants us to know."
"Then why didn’t she simply tell us instead of using such a method?" Wang Xuanling asked.
"Perhaps we’ll only find out once we see for ourselves." Chu Liang walked ahead, lighting up his Divine Light Sword. The bright, reddish glow immediately illuminated the cave before them.
They cautiously proceeded down the narrow, elongated path for quite some time before noticing the wall colors starting to change. The walls transitioned from a sturdy gold to a protruded black color, and carvings of various hues began to appear.
"It seems like murals, telling ancient stories..." Chu Liang touched them. Above the murals were complex symbols, "Could these be words?"
"They are the ancient scripts of our Merfolk Tribe," explained Princess Lian Ge.
"You can read them?" Chu Liang asked, surprised.
"I can’t decipher a single one," admitted Princess Lian Ge.
Alright, then.
Turns out Her Royal Highness is quite the illiterate beauty.
Seeing the stares from the three of them, Princess Lian Ge blushes, "The ancient script is extremely complex. We use the Human Clan’s language now, not these....but I brought a Jade Slip to translate these scripts," she clarified.
She quickly took out a Jade Slip and started the translation.
Whilst she scrutinized the script with a furrowed brow, the trio started examining the mural.
It seemed to depict the changes in heaven and earth during ancient times.
The sky collapsed, the earth shattered, and endless fire and rain fell from the sky, leaving the creatures on land with no escape. The rainwater filled the sea and soon engulfed the land.
The God Mother had also become a cultivator in the Ninth Realm Tongxuan during this time.
In the mural, her depiction was of a merfolk radiating light all over.
The God Mother was depicted as infinitely compassionate, sheltering those land creatures submerged in the sea by building a refuge for them, allowing them to live beneath the sea for many years.
Until one day...
There was a flash of lightning, and the God Mother fell amidst the thunder. The scene above might be chaotically depicted because the mural painter was also unable to see it clearly.
But it was clear that at the other end of the sea, tiny human silhouettes were watching this scene from afar.
Huh?
Chu Liang murmured in his heart, the murals in the Black Dragon Secret Realm also depicted similar scenes when the dragon God fell.
Those who appeared during the fall of each Ninth Realm, who are they exactly? Could they have orchestrated everything?
The mural ended with, after the fall of the God Mother, the sea gradually receded, lands re-emerged, and the inhabitants of the refuge returned to land.
But many from the Sea Clan stayed near the refuge, surrounding the body of the God Mother. In the previous scene, the God Mother had clearly disappeared, but in this scene, it seemed as though she was merely lying there in peace, as if asleep, ready to awaken at any moment.
"What does this mean..." he couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
Just then, he heard Princess Lian Ge deciphering the characters one by one, and she recited, "Reassemble the Great Dao of Heavy Mist, the God Mother will eventually..."
"Resurrect?!"
