Those Merfolk who had experienced battles, still bore wounds, and were in low spirits, found their injuries instantly healed, their scales becoming more solid and sharp, and their contaminated spiritual worlds scrubbed clean As if by a super-strength detergent.

Spotless.

Moreover, some Merfolk's bone spears and bone shields, crafted from Transcendent creature bones, were covered with a faint golden luster.

They had actually transformed into rule-based tools perfectly suited for them.

The changes were even more significant for the young, naive little Merfolk.

Their bodies were growing and transforming at a visible rate!

Their scales became more vibrant, their fishtails more powerful, and their control over water currents skyrocketed.

Even more exaggeratedly, many Merfolk in the clan were enveloped in the light of evolution.

These scenes not only astonished the Merfolk themselves but also the marine Transcendent creatures lurking nearby, who had been observing the unusually active Merfolk for the past two days.

They were greatly shocked, and extremely horrified.

They simply could not understand why such an incredible thing was happening!

What on earth happened to the Abyssal Mermaid?

They were puzzled, but because Saliya was the overlord of this sea area, and although this Mermaid often lived in seclusion in the City of Ethereal Light, the pressure she occasionally released to deter those mindless Transcendent creatures silently yet powerfully declared her inviolability!

So, no matter how many questions they had, they dared not approach to inquire.

For the Abyssal Merfolk, after a brief moment of surprise, came endless joy.

"As!"

"Aman!"

They let out high-pitched cries, and all the Merfolk were submerged in the light of evolution and waves of joy.

Saliya and the other Merfolk couldn't help but cry tears of joy.

Because they knew very well where these changes came from.

The Emperor and its Beast Tamers had truly succeeded!

Their clan's millennium of perseverance had finally earned the sincere gratitude of the world wound!

They were free!

"As."

The waves brought the call of the sea god.

Saliya detached herself from her somewhat uncontrolled emotions, feeling the messages carried by the waves with all her scales and skin.

It was the Emperor summoning them.

This was clearly the authority of the ocean.

Evidently, the Emperor's control over the crown of the sea god had advanced further.

"Aman!"

Saliya, now with a head of blue, seaweed-like wavy hair, scanned her clansmen; except for two higher-level Merfolk who were still evolving, all others had fully assimilated the gift of the world wound.

Leaving one Saint-level Merfolk (who could barely resist the ocean's call) to guard the two still-evolving Merfolk, Saliya led the rest of her clansmen to answer the call.

Naturally, not only the Abyssal Merfolk were affected by the ocean's call; other Transcendent creatures in this sea area also sensed it.

Including those who had lost their minds due to the invasion of the abyssal silence will.

Merfolk and sea beasts, like migrating for winter, swam rapidly towards the same direction.

However, except for the Merfolk, other sea beasts were stopped by the City of Ethereal Light.

Fortunately, upon seeing Saliya and her companions, Black Pearl had already lifted the ocean's call, and the sea beasts curiously circled the City of Ethereal Light a few times before finally leaving.

The Merfolk who returned to the fortress, however, began to prepare for the celebration with great enthusiasm!

"Aman?"

Are you sure?

Saliya's voice echoed in Mingxi's mind; this time, her attitude towards Mingxi had completely changed.

She was even using honorifics.

Mingxi was somewhat exasperated, thinking to herself, "Actually, I prefer your untamed look."

Also, the other party was now As beautiful As the legendary sirens who enchanted sailors, which also made it difficult for her to adapt.

As expected of a female Mermaid renowned for her beauty throughout the world!

"Hiss-hah."

Mingxi turned in surprise, only to find that it was Bright Crystal, holding a king crab shell larger than its head, burying its face in the crab roe.

Mingxi: "..."

It scared her; she almost thought she was possessed by a pervert!

She composed herself and nodded to Saliya, who was smiling charmingly: "I'm sure."

She had just informed Saliya that she intended to enter the fissure beneath the altar to find the source of the world wound.

Eliminating the abyssal silence will did not mean the world wound had been 'healed'.

To make the world wound 'heal', she still needed to 'prescribe the right medicine'.

"Solving the abyssal silence will is merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause. If the world wound continues to exist, a second and third abyssal silence will will eventually be born."

Hearing this, Saliya also realized the seriousness of the matter.

As long As the world wound was not 'healed', entities like the abyssal silence will could continue to emerge.

Where would they find a race with purification and sealing abilities then?

And which race would be willing to make such a great sacrifice? 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"If that is the case, our clan's warriors are also willing to contribute."

Mingxi, however, shook her head, "The situation inside the fissure is unclear, the passage is narrow, and there is likely only one exit, unlike the fortress which is easily accessible, where there's a chance to escape if something goes wrong."

It wasn't that Mingxi disliked the Merfolk's combat power; the fact was that in cramped environments, too many people would only hinder each other.

So she only planned to inform Saliya and did not intend to bring any Abyssal Merfolk.

Saliya also understood Mingxi's concerns.

Considering the combat power of this young girl and her nine pet beasts, it seemed that if they went along, they would indeed only be a burden, even holding them back.

"Then when do you plan to depart?"

"After you lead your clansmen to evacuate this place."

Although the abyssal silence will that had contaminated this sea area had been eliminated, some things, once they existed, would leave their traces.

Especially after losing the altar's suppression, a large amount of residual foul, turbid, and death qi from where the abyssal silence will originally slept would inevitably dissipate.

High-level Transcendent creatures like Saliya could dispel the influence of these impurities with their own strength, but those young, weak Merfolk might also become mindless and chaotic if things went wrong.

Therefore, the City of Ethereal Light would definitely not be suitable for continued residence for a short period.

They had to move elsewhere.

And quickly.

Mingxi was also unsure what lay beneath the fissure; if the commotion was too great and pierced through the ground, causing a 'ground' collapse or even more severe sea whirlpools, it would be a disaster for the Abyssal Mermaid.

That's why she decided to go down after they moved, otherwise, she would have acted when solving the abyssal silence will.

"I understand. My clan will leave tonight." Saliya was decisive; her tone was As if she had no attachment whatsoever to this fortress where she had lived for a thousand years.

Mingxi was very satisfied.

The Merfolk, learning that they were about to leave their homeland, made the celebration even livelier.

It was a blessing, a celebration, and also a farewell.

Good wine and good food!

Nectar and jade dew!

Music and dance everywhere!

Bright Crystal and a few other boisterous ones went wild playing.

Upon the warm invitation from Saliya and other clan elders, Mingxi, unable to refuse the hospitality, took Black Pearl and Yao Xuan to stroll around the Merfolk's treasure vault.

Although clan rules restricted them from leaving the Abyssal Silence Sea, they also needed to survive, so they naturally had specialized hunting and gathering teams.

And the ocean, throughout history, has always been the richest in resources.

Therefore, with a thousand years of heritage, the Abyssal Mermaid's treasure vault was in no way inferior to the national treasury of Dragonflower Country.

A dazzling array of sea gems, energy crystal, and Skill Stone.

There were also large quantities of dried seafood ingredients, fish maw, and so on, which made even Mingxi, this rich lady, feel overwhelmed.

Mingxi didn't stand on ceremony with Saliya, selecting many good items according to the needs of Golden Yuanbao and the nine others, especially water-attribute materials and Skill Stone suitable for Black Pearl.

"Xiao Xi, this should be what you need."

Yao Xuan, who had been wandering back and forth in the treasure vault alone, suddenly spoke.

Its clothes, 'woven' from threads of destiny, extended a claw-like corner, holding a black iron piece.

Good heavens!

The last piece of shen guan!

Mingxi was surprised: "How did you know I was looking for this?"

Yao Xuan swayed its slender snake tail and pointed to the shen guan on her right earlobe.

"I sensed the destiny connection between them."

Good heavens, As expected of the Celestial Mystery Nine Radiance Python! She was indeed a genius for bringing it here to hunt for treasures!

Mingxi took the fragment, sighing, "I didn't expect this thing to actually be in the sea."

She had originally just held onto the idea of getting lucky.

Unexpectedly, she really did get lucky.

Yao Xuan said profoundly, "Seeking him a thousand times in a dream, suddenly turning back, 'that person' is there where the lamps are dim."

Mingxi: "..."

Alright.

Poetic talent!

My apologies!

Mingxi was not someone who would take advantage and be thick-skinned; moreover, the Merfolk Clan were 'her own fish', so after picking out many good things from the Merfolk Clan, she also gave away many good things.

It was equivalent to a resource exchange.

Saliya really wanted to refuse, but what Mingxi took out were all extremely precious things that their Merfolk Clan would find extremely difficult to obtain on their own.

For example, SSS-grade potions.

And SSS-grade items.

She really couldn't refuse at all.

Both sides happily completed this 'transaction'.

That night, the entire Abyssal Mermaid migrated, along with the giant coral tree.

It turned out that the coral tree was the source of the City of Ethereal Light's millennium of invincibility.

It was both a coral tree and a divine artifact.

Nature is incredibly miraculous.

When the coral tree rose from the ground, Mingxi's jaw almost dislocated.

She could only give a big thumbs up, praising—

"Awesome!"

As the coral tree left the ground, the area where the City of Ethereal Light once stood was almost instantly filled and submerged by seawater.

The beautiful fortress seemed As if it had never existed.

Mingxi, Golden Yuanbao, and the others had no choice but to once again huddle inside Black Pearl's Rainbow Bubble.

Including Yao Xuan.

It was a Celestial Mystery Python, not a water python, and did not inherently possess the ability to breathe freely in seawater.

Many friends might ask, what element does the Celestial Mystery Nine Radiance Python belong to?

General element.

That's right, it's the most ordinary, most common General element!

The power of destiny exists in all things, merges with all things, grows with all things, and dies with all things.

How ordinary, how common.

This is very reasonable!

"Your Majesty, Miss Ming, I wish you all the best and a safe return."

Saliya watched the string of 'grapes' submerging into the ocean fissure, praying for them in her heart.

Fissure space.

Passing through the abyssal cave, which had become narrow due to the collapse of the fortress, they finally delved into a considerably spacious area.

A bizarre space, filled with grotesque and variegated light, seemingly composed of twisted energy and shattered rules.

Beneath their feet was rugged ground formed by solidified dark energy, emanating an ominous purplish-black ethereal glow.

Above their heads were constantly shifting, writhing spatial folds, like the internal organs of a living creature.

All around, mirror fragments of various sizes floated, reflecting different colored lights and distorted images.

The air was filled with a familiar power of pollution, like black dust, attempting to cling to them.

At the same time, there was also a thin layer of purification and suppression power.

"This should be the true sealing place of the abyssal silence will."

Mingxi judged.

Guangguang affirmed her judgment.

"Let's clear the pollution first; we shouldn't let it spread and contaminate the ocean."

Little Silver Flower, Emerald Green, Black Pearl, and Xue Qingting all took action.

At the same time, four translucent, small flower fairy-like sub-worms flew out from Xue Qingting's shell garment.

These were the Jie Yu Chong (Tongue-untie Worm).

After several hours of non-stop effort, Xue Qingting had only barely managed to gestate these four Jie Yu Chong (Tongue-untie Worm).

Jie Yu Chong (Tongue-untie Worm) were not ordinary sub-worms; they were not only difficult ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) and time-consuming to cultivate but also carried extremely high risks. More importantly, the gestation materials they required were also extremely precious and rare.

Even Mingxi, As wealthy As she was, felt a sense of urgency after hearing the formula, As if the landlord's family had no surplus grain.

They were still not rich enough.

Under Xue Qingting's control, the translucent bodies of the Jie Yu Chong (Tongue-untie Worm) merged into the bodies of Little Silver Flower and the other three.

Not long after, a light pattern resembling a dragonfly's wing appeared on their foreheads, somewhat like a four-leaf clover with longer upper leaves and shorter lower ones.

In short, it was beautiful, good-looking, and very showy.

"Leilei?"

Do you think this Word-Unraveling Worm can cover Xiao Ye's Divine Eye?

Golden Yuanbao rarely showed such intense curiosity.

Mingxi laughed, "We'll let Xue Qingting try it on you later."

Honestly, she was quite curious too.

Actually, Golden Yuanbao wasn't the only one among them with 'something' on its forehead.

Little Silver Flower's forehead ornament, Lan Yue's 'moon pattern', Yao Xuan's cat's eye stone, Akatama's demon pattern.

And herself.

Before, it was a curse seal; now, it was the three-colored triangular gem manifested by the book of rules.

However, a human with a three-colored triangular gem embedded on her forehead was too conspicuous.

So she pondered for a long time and finally figured out a method of concealment, which prevented her from becoming the most dazzling person in the crowd.

No more idle talk.

The moment the Jie Yu Chong (Tongue-untie Worm) successfully possessed them, the 'wing patterns' on the foreheads of Little Silver Flower and the other three lit up.

The Jie Yu Chong (Tongue-untie Worm) 'unraveled words,' and auxiliary skills enveloped them.

Guangguang provided timely information for free: "They are all enhancements."

Enhancement, very simply, its function is to strengthen the power of skills or characteristics.

This was indeed what Little Silver Flower and the other three needed most at the moment.

Little Silver Flower's Holy Radiance Prayer transformed into a gentle rain of light, falling down.

Wherever it passed, the black dust melted like ice and snow.

Emerald Green fully released its Life Leaf; As a Child of Nature and a Child of Death, its energy naturally possessed extremely strong purification abilities.

Its effect was even stronger than Little Silver Flower's Holy Radiance Prayer.

After all, the primary function of Holy Radiance Prayer was healing, not purification; the actual purification came from its light energy.

And Black Pearl used Water Star Ring.
