Gu Nianchen woke up again in a luxurious palace. All he saw were black and gold decorations, full of mysterious and strange colors.

[Are you satisfied with your new identity this time, Nianchenjun? You'll be the overlord of this region!]

[Looks good, tell me about it.]

[This is the Mermaid Continent. You are the King of the Dark Palace. Your original storyline has no intersection with Luo Yujun.]

Luo Yujun's story is very complicated and is related to the background of this world. I will pass on the original story line to you so that you can better understand it.

【Hey, it’s different after upgrading.】

[Thank you, Nianchen-kun. I'm now a level 2 system too, much more powerful than before. Just wait and see.]

218 transmitted a passage of text into Gu Nianchen's mind. After reading it, Gu Nianchen finally understood what the original story line was.

He couldn't help but feel cold all over. He couldn't imagine how devastated Luo Yu would be if he experienced such a thing.

This is the Mermaid Continent. It is called this name because this world was originally dominated by mermaids.

After the birth of human beings, their population continued to grow due to their super brain and reproductive ability.

As humans invented many weapons, conflicts began to arise. After thousands of years of war, the land was divided into two camps.

On one side is the City of Light, on the other side is the Palace of Darkness.

With the end of the war, the resources on land had been distributed, and humans began to turn their attention to the sea, fishing and killing marine life on a large scale.

Until one day, the Temple of Light caught a mermaid, and her beautiful face attracted people's attention.

The mermaid was frightened and started crying. People were surprised to find that the mermaid's tears would turn into pearls.

Soon after, a violent storm arose at sea, with huge waves rising to the sky, alarming the two kings of the City of Light and the Palace of Darkness at the time.

After the negotiations, the sea returned to calm, and people never saw the beautiful mermaid again.

The Palace of Light issued a royal decree prohibiting the killing of any marine life from now on.

The Dark Palace issued a royal decree, planning specific fishing areas, the fish that can be caught, and two fishing moratoriums each year.

From then on, in every small country in the Temple of Light, in the royal exclusive luxury store of the Temple of Light.

There are many exquisite pearl ornaments. The pearls come in purple, gold, pink and white colors depending on their quality.

Among them, purple-gold is extremely rare, with less than ten appearing in the past few hundred years. The other three colors are mostly white.

Although it is expensive, it still attracts people to buy it. Even some wealthy people in the Dark Temple will spend a higher price to buy it to show off their status.

The Temple of Light thus gained a great deal of wealth.

Bai Luoyu is the youngest son of the current mermaid clan leader. The tears of the mermaid clan can turn into pearls.

However, only pearls that are of royal blood are round and have a dazzling luster.

Bai Luoyu is an outlier. From the moment he was born, he has been disliked by other mermaids.

Because his tears are just tears, they can't even turn into pearls with impurities.

As a little kid, he didn't know why none of the other kids in his family wanted to play with him.

He could only play with other small fish and jellyfish, but their lifespan was too short compared to that of the mermaid.

Bai Luoyu has witnessed the death of his friends too many times. He is tired of it and wants to escape from the sea.

He found his father, told him his story in tears, and begged him to let him go.

"Father, I am so sad. I want to be a human being. Please grant me this wish!"

"If that happens, you'll never be able to come back. Have you really thought about it?"

"I've made up my mind, Father!"

Every mermaid has a chance to completely transform into a human when he reaches the age of one hundred.

But from ancient times to the present, no mermaid would voluntarily choose this path.

Because once they leave the sea, their lifespan will be rapidly shortened, even to less than half of that of humans, and they can only live for thirty years.

A mermaid’s one hundred years is equivalent to a human’s twenty years, which means that after becoming a human, she can only live for ten years.

Bai Luoyu sat on the beach looking at the sea, his mood restless for a long time, for a whole day and night.

He finally decided to start a new life after hearing what the old fish grandfather in the sea said.

The people of the Temple of Light are all kind, unlike the Temple of Darkness who would hunt and kill their own fish!

So Bai Luoyu chose to go to the Temple of Light. Everything went well. A shop owner hired him and he was very happy at first.

But one night everything changed. From then on, his life was dark and miserable.

The boss is a hypocritical man. He hired Bai Luoyu because he was attracted by his handsome face.

That night, while drunk, he tricked Bai Luoyu into having sex with him.

A magical scene appeared. Bai Luoyu, who thought he had found true love, had tears in his eyes at the happiest moment.

When it fell to the ground, it turned into a purple-gold pearl!

The appearance of pearls exceeded the boss's carnal satisfaction. He searched the ground for fallen pearls and admired them in his hands.

With a little thought, you will understand that Bai Luoyu's tears will turn into pearls when she has intercourse with others.

Looking at Bai Luoyu again, his eyes were filled with greed.

The boss imprisoned Bai Luoyu, fed him medicine, and tortured him day and night, so that he died after only three years!

The boss also used the wealth he gained from the pearls to become the leader of a small country in the Temple of Light.

-------------------------------------

After reading the message, Gu Nianchen felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe.

[When did Luo Yu become a human? ]

If the process remains unchanged, he should be on the beach now.

218 sensed the murderous intent and immediately took out a piece of talisman paper and threw it to Gu Nianchen.

【Teleportation Talisman! 】

Gu Nianchen disappeared on the spot.

At the seaside at dawn, the sky turned from pale to golden. A small figure sat on the beach with his hands hugging his curled knees, looking at the sea with tears on his face.

Gu Nianchen's heart ached, and he felt distressed when he saw the thin figure.

"Why are you sitting here alone?" Gu Nianchen's voice broke the silence.

Bai Luoyu turned around and looked at Gu Nianchen. His skin was as white as snow, his eyes were sea blue, and his lips were a little purple because of the sea breeze that had been blowing all night.

Bai Luoyu replied with a trembling voice: "I got separated from my family and couldn't find the way."

"Then come with me! I will help you find your family. If you can't find them, I will give you a job to make a living." Gu Nianchen spoke like one of those bad uncles who use candy to kidnap children.

"Really? Uncle, you are such a good person!" Bai Luoyu's eyes were shining, and he was happy to meet a kind person.

“Uncle???” Gu Nianchen’s head was full of question marks. He hadn’t looked in the mirror since he came here. He was the youngest?
