Deep in the ocean where Atlantis is located, there are continuous underwater mountain ranges.

But on this day, a murky darkness began to spread among the mountain ranges, quickly obscuring their original appearance.

Perhaps it was a divine intervention.

Or perhaps it was pollution that the Atlanteans unknowingly brought about and accumulated while researching spatial theories.

At that time, cracks began to appear in the previously stable ley lines.

The volcano near the underwater cave also began to tremble and, after gathering momentum, began to boil violently.

Fiery lava churned and spewed out from it.

The suddenly rising lava resembled a giant dragon that was constantly gnawing at the roots of the World Tree.

It was rapidly approaching the once tranquil maritime kingdom.

Under this scorching temperature, amidst this ever-spreading darkness and filth.

The dreamlike and beautiful protective bubble membranes in Atlantis were easily melted and eroded.

Perhaps because it touched on some taboo, the recording of this scene and footage began to become blurry.

However, what is known is that the place in Atlantis that was used for sacrifices and prayers was also divided in two.

It became the sacrificial island where Alice once lived, and the new island that later reappeared on the sea.

In this catastrophe, the last relic left behind by Atlantis was a piece of mermaid flesh.

While adrift in the ocean, it was swallowed by a giant whale, and then unexpectedly discovered by Murdoch.

In fact, eating the flesh of the mermaids left behind by their own kind was a way of passing on traditions in Atlantis.

The legend that eating mermaid flesh can grant immortality is certainly not unfounded.

As a symbol of the birth of life.

Eating mermaid flesh actually signifies a cycle of life and the transmission of knowledge.

Therefore, it serves as the last remnant of Atlantis.

As long as someone eats mermaid flesh and becomes one of their kind, transforming into a mermaid, Atlantis will never be completely destroyed.

For the Atlanteans, after eating mermaid flesh...

In fact, just like the people on the sacrificial island who ate the mermaid flesh, they also have the chance of failing to evolve.

However, compared to the fact that only Alice succeeded on the sacrificial island, this was still a significant achievement.

The chances of the Atlanteans achieving perfect evolution were probably much higher.

But in the end, after eating the mermaid's flesh, the human failed to evolve and became the Deepsea Monster.

They became the guardians of Atlantis, this deep-sea kingdom.

This is also why Murdoch was able to learn how to control the Deep Ones by using mermaid flesh.

Because they originally existed as guardians, they naturally have corresponding control methods.

But now, after "watching" this history of Atlantis...

Alice, however, felt an extremely strong attraction from this space.

It seems they want to completely assimilate her into the original Atlantis.

Let her remain forever in the illusion of Atlantis's most glorious past.

Throughout this process, Alice was able to feel a constant warmth emanating from the coin in her hand.

Thus, maintaining this self-awareness, despite Alice's refusal to be assimilated.

The illusion of a glorious past has also shattered.

When Alice opened her eyes again, she saw Gu Xinghe smiling at her.

It was as if he had thought of something from the inherited knowledge he had just received.

At this moment, Alice conjured a [Deep Blue Badge] and handed it to Gu Xinghe.

As its name suggests, this is a badge that is entirely dark blue.

The central image depicts the underwater buildings constructed during Atlantis's heyday.

And there were shimmering waves surrounding it.

[The old coins, the new badges]

Are these two exchanging tokens of love?

I have to admit, it's incredibly romantic, but I'm also getting so jealous!

Although the viewers in the live stream were jealous and called it a token of love, it is actually quite accurate in a certain sense.

Gu Xinghe looked at the badge in his hand. He sensed that it was a token, a coordinate, or a means of communication.

With this deep blue badge, he could safely enter the Devil's Sea or come directly to this sacrificial island.

In addition, the badge can also be used to control the Deepsea Monster, which was transformed into a creature due to the failure of human evolution after eating mermaid flesh.

However, if the sea monsters being controlled are only those seen before, then this use doesn't seem to be of much value.

Because if coercive measures were taken directly, Gu Xinghe could actually use his domain to forcibly control these sea monsters.

But at this moment, Gu Xinghe realized the true purpose of this deep blue badge.

Although Murdoch had previously stalled for time to recount his actions.

It did not go into detail about the company he founded or the Ocean Oasis he built.

However, among the information that Gu Xinghe obtained by reading his thoughts...

Apart from the information that was basically consistent with what he already knew and guessed about these two things.

In order to prevent the company he created, "Oasis," from slipping out of his control.

Murdoch, however, chose those on the sacrificial island who had experienced the same reaction as him after eating mermaid flesh—

That is, it did not completely fail and degenerate into a deep-sea monster, but still retains certain human characteristics.
