"Xi...Xi Zhi?!"

"Are you the legendary daughter of the sea?"

The little mermaid's pupils widened in shock; she couldn't believe that she had encountered the legendary mermaid.

"Daughter of the Sea?" Quan Ji and the others asked in confusion, as this title was quite unfamiliar to them.

When the little mermaid mentioned this title, her eyes were filled with admiration and longing: "It is the highest honor of the mermaid race. Born among mermaid princesses, they are born with the ability to control the entire ocean. Schools of fish will surround her and submit to her beauty. All creatures in the ocean will worship her authority. She is the incarnation of the sea god and the guide of Atlantis... Every generation of daughters of the sea is the most respected mermaid in Atlantis."

Xi Zhi was a little embarrassed by what was said: "Let's not talk about these things for now. Just call me Xi Zhi... When I insisted on leaving Atlantis for the human world, I was no longer the daughter of the sea."

The little mermaid in front of him had obviously heard the story before, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But Xi Zhihai's identity as the daughter of the sea allowed him to successfully let go of his hostility towards everyone—because the daughter of the sea would never betray the ocean, even if she was not there.

He looked at Xi Zhi with a worried expression: "Xi... Sister Xi Zhi, hello. My name is Shui Te, and I am the son of your guard, Po Ke. May I ask what brings you back home?"

Although Atlantis has disappeared, as Pok's son, he will always remember Pok's words: if Princess Xizhi ever returns, please do your best to fulfill all her needs and help her revive the mermaid race.

He is fulfilling the mission passed down from his father.

Tears were already rolling down his little cheeks. He wiped them away and said, "Little man, don't cry."

Everyone's faces were filled with worry and doubt; they probably knew without asking what had happened.

Xi Zhi gently swayed her tail, moved in front of the boy, and wiped away his tears: "Shui Te, Atlantis, what exactly happened?"

Shui Te was struck by this expected question, which immediately made his eyes redden. He sniffed and said:

"A group of despicable gods... sneaked to the sea palace and removed the Sea-Stabilizing Needle... black energy spread throughout Atlantis along with the seawater. Wherever the black energy reached, everything disappeared... Everyone frantically fled for their lives, but no one could escape and nothing was left behind."

"In the end, in order to leave behind a mermaid who could transmit this crisis, Poker pierced himself with countless holes and used his blood to form a barrier, which allowed me to survive."

"Princess Xizhi...you must save the merfolk. Such a great civilization...vanished into nothingness in less than a night."

"I will not let those despicable gods get away with this!!!"

The young boy clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, and his violent voice was filled with racial hatred, as if he was ready to fight to the death for revenge.

Everyone's hearts pounded. Although it was pretty much what they had guessed, when they actually heard the survivor say these words, their hearts, as fellow beings living in this world, pounded wildly and ached.

Xi Zhi lowered her eyes slightly: "I'm sorry... I can't help the merfolk."

Shui Te didn't understand: "Why?!"

Xi Zhi's face was pale as she slowly recounted the cruel truths and the story of the abyss to Shui Te.

Shui Te understood after listening.

"So...they didn't disappear, they died, right?"

"The merfolk, only the two of us are left, right?"

Shui Te asked in a low voice, but he already had the answer in his heart.

"You don't need to reply to me... I know everything, it's okay, as long as there are still people... there will always be hope."

The young boys were always imaginative, innocent, and happy. They would fish and play in the ocean, and their visions of the future were always beautiful and azure—just like the land that nurtured them.

However, reality is even crueler than cruelty itself.

The merfolk, one of the world's eight major races, were wiped out without a trace.

Everything they depended on was gone.

Xi Zhi hugged the child tightly: "It's alright...it's alright...there will definitely be a way."

The child, nestled in the arms of his only member of the same clan, finally broke down in tears.

After crying, he revealed a resolute expression, took a deep breath, and said, "Young Miss, you've come to find your destiny constellation, right?"

Quan Ji was taken aback, wondering how the child knew. She then nodded and said, "Yes, that's why we came to Atlantis."

She sympathized with Atlantis's plight, but she knew she couldn't let negative emotions affect her—if Abyss had devoured Atlantis, his power would have increased dramatically… and his devouring range would grow larger and more terrifying.

In the end, he will just like he did five hundred years ago, when he devoured most of the Noah continent... and seize everything here.

Quan Ji will absolutely not allow that kind of thing to happen!

Therefore, speed is of the essence in war!

Shui Te said, "Miss... I know where the Destiny Constellation is. Come with me."

After he finished speaking, a hint of certainty flashed in his eyes.

Quan Ji felt something was very wrong. How could Shui Te know that their target was the Destiny Constellation without them giving any explanation?

Besides, how could he possibly know exactly where his zodiac sign is?

You have to understand, Atlantis is deep in the ocean, where you can't see the stars when you look up. They might not even know exactly where the constellation of destiny is. So how come this child seemed to have been preparing for a long time and led them there so easily?

It's as if... everything has already been arranged.

Quan Ji subconsciously became more vigilant.

Soon, Hait led them to a rare, uneven area.

The area next to this spot still looks like it's been swallowed up, but it itself still has corals, underwater rock formations, and natural landscapes. There are even creatures swimming around here in fear, as if they just happened to miss this spot.

The seaweed was very dense, and amidst it, dazzling starlight was faintly twinkling.

Starlight on the seabed?

Almost instantly, everyone understood what was going on.

But they also seemed to sense something was amiss and didn't rush over.

Shui pointed to a spot and said, "We're here... this is it."

Quan Ji narrowed her eyes.

"White porcelain, black moon".

"Little crab."

As soon as she finished speaking, the guardian deity of Pisces, the yin-yang symbol, and the guardian deity of Cancer, the little crab, appeared together.

They bowed to Princess Kwon.

"Young Miss, what are your orders?"

Quan Ji: "Sensitize it, which constellation does this destiny belong to?"

This action was actually unnecessary, but everyone immediately understood.

Quan Ji had some doubts about Shui Te.
