"So it was you who sounded the clarion call of the deep sea!"

The mermaid elder had a complicated expression. The reason why their mermaid race appeared in the ancient sea and cooperated with the human race was because of the Deep Sea Tragedy a few months ago.

There is a legend among the mermaids that when the lament of the deep sea echoes across the endless ocean, it is the time for them to defend the world's lifeline.

"I am very grateful for the contributions the Merfolk have made to all land creatures. If the Merfolk ever need my help in the future, please let me know, and I will do my best to assist them," Jiang Yuan said sincerely.

The merfolk deity is still resting in her cycle of reincarnation; she should take care of her descendants.

"Maintaining the lifeline between land and sea is the duty of our mermaid race. You don't need to pay any price." The mermaid elder clearly understood his job responsibilities. Whether it was the ocean or the land, the destruction of one side would cause a complete upheaval in the ecology of the entire battlefield, which would be the end of all living beings on the battlefield.

"Elder Mermaid, actually, I brought Jiang Yuan here today because I need your help," Nie Zhen stepped forward and explained his purpose.

The merman elder sighed and said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to help, but as you've seen, the Ancient Sea Abyss is not a place that land creatures can enter. Even our merman race, except for a few outstanding individuals, does not have the ability to dive to the deepest part. One of your teams has already been lost there, so I really do not recommend that you send any more people to their deaths."

"The calamity of the deep sea is imminent. If we cannot obtain the Sea-Stabilizing Needle from the Abyss of the Ancient Sea, the seawater will submerge most of the land of Kyushu. At that time, the sea races will not even need to land. China will have already wiped out 90% of its life. Even if the human race survives the calamity of the deep sea, its foundation will be destroyed."

After saying this, Nie Zhen seemed to have aged several years. The pressure that the Deep Sea Disaster brought to the human race was unprecedented. Among the three thousand races, the sea race accounted for nearly half of the population. And such a huge complex of races was now going to use the Sea City as the main landing point to attack the land. No race on the entire Imperial Star could defend against this.

"But the only person who can carry the Mermaid Pearl has already lost contact in the Ancient Sea Abyss. Without the Mermaid Pearl, your human race cannot enter the Ancient Sea Abyss at all." The Mermaid Elder expressed his helplessness.

What are shark pearls?

Jiang Yuan turned his head to look at Nie Zhen.

"Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to tell you the truth."

Nie Zhen sighed and recounted what had happened bit by bit.

Since the deep-sea disaster occurred, Tianfu has been researching relevant information in an attempt to avoid this catastrophe, but the results have not been satisfactory. Moreover, the more they consulted ancient books, the more they realized how terrifying the disaster this catastrophe would bring to terrestrial creatures. Therefore, Tianfu could only try to solve the problem with the goal of minimizing losses.

The first priority is to preserve Chinese civilization. Regardless of whether humanity can withstand the disaster of the deep sea, Chinese civilization must have the opportunity to continue. And this requires an ancient artifact—the Sea-Stabilizing Needle.

In the previous battlefield, the ocean also invaded the land and caused irreparable damage. Ninety percent of the civilizations on the battlefield disappeared into the long river of history. Even the civilizations that survived were only a very small part. The only exception was China.

Because of that deep-sea disaster, Emperor Yu, the ancestor of the Xia Dynasty, borrowed the Sea-Stabilizing Needle from the deep sea. The Chinese nation relied on the Sea-Stabilizing Needle to stabilize the sea disasters across the land. Although it could not completely prevent the harm caused by the sea disasters, it preserved the most important part of the Chinese civilization. This is the main reason why the final battlefield was able to recover so quickly after the fall of the gods.

This time, Tianfu also wants to use the same trick again, to borrow or even snatch back the Sea-Stabilizing Needle from the Sea Clan in order to protect China.

However, the Sea-Stabilizing Needle was not so easy to borrow, because the last time Emperor Yu borrowed it, he relied entirely on his personal charm. The princess of the sea tribe at that time was Emperor Yu's confidante. In addition, no one had ever coveted the Sea-Stabilizing Needle, so when Emperor Yu approached it, no one noticed. Therefore, it was not difficult for him to take the Sea-Stabilizing Needle away.

But this time the situation is different. Since the last deep-sea disaster, the Sea-Stabilizing Needle, which was returned by Emperor Yu, has been thrown into the unfathomable ancient sea abyss by the sea race. It is not only a forbidden place for land creatures, but also home to a powerful half-dead being who hates the human race to the bone.

For these reasons, Tianfu had no choice but to turn to the Merfolk and enter the Ancient Sea Abyss by disguising himself with the Merfolk's artifact, the Mermaid Pearl.

However, to harness the power of the Mermaid Pearl, one must gain its approval, and within the vast Tianfu, only An Xiaoyu has earned the Mermaid Pearl's approval.

After listening to Nie Zhen's explanation, Jiang Yuan felt a surge of anger. Tianfu clearly knew the danger of this mission, yet they sent Xiaoyu to carry it out without even informing him.

Seemingly sensing Jiang Yuan's thoughts, Nie Zhen sighed and said, "Jiang Yuan, I know the organization has wronged you this time, but this mission is for China, and we have no other choice."

"Besides, Xiaoyu is not only the person you love, she is also my closest relative. I am also reluctant to let her carry out this mission, but we have no other choice!"

The repetition once again revealed Nie Zhen's helplessness. He had always regarded An Xiaoyu as his own daughter. When she lost contact in the Ancient Sea Abyss, he wanted to rush into the Ancient Sea Abyss to find her, but in the face of the greater good, how could he care about personal feelings?

Every soldier of Tianfu is a son or daughter of the Chinese people, a flesh-and-blood Chinese man, but for the country and the nation behind them, who isn't charging forward with their life?

"I don't want to talk about this anymore!"

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, not wanting to argue with Nie Zhen, and simply said, "Right now, I just want to know how to enter the Ancient Sea Abyss. What would happen if we didn't have the Mermaid Pearl?"
