Seeing Murdoch's current appearance, which is so close to that of the Deep Diver.
The final mutation was largely suppressed by the blue and white patterns carved on its skin.
Gu Xinghe knew that Murdoch had conducted numerous experiments on the inhabitants of the island of worship.
Furthermore, after the appearance of Alice, a being who can be described as a perfect evolved being.
He believes that the efficacy of mermaid meat has been proven, and he has also obtained a large amount of data on the range of its safe dosage.
Therefore, after that, Murdoch must have tried eating some mermaid flesh in an attempt to obtain its immortality.
Then he turned into the "monster-like creature that he himself describes as neither human nor ghost" he is now.
This attempt can be said to have been partially successful.
Although they are ugly in appearance, the so-called Deepsea Monsters actually have a lifespan that is practically infinite compared to humans.
But Murdoch clearly doesn't think so.
Therefore, Gu Xinghe, who has the ability to read minds, has now accurately hit Murdoch's sore spot.
Moreover, Gu Xinghe's sarcastic words came after he had slowly and leisurely sized him up.
It was as if he felt that no matter what efforts he had made, he was still just a failure.
"Ha, there's no point in saying more. Even if you force your way into this island, you still won't qualify as a 'candidate'."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinghe understood immediately.
The qualifications of what Murdoch calls a "candidate" are now being considered.
In essence, they are candidates who can obtain the treasures left behind by Atlantis on this island.
This island does indeed hold the treasures left behind by Atlantis.
Perhaps it is some kind of knowledge that once made Atlantis powerful.
Or perhaps it's the legacy of Atlantis, its kingdom, and its civilization.
Murdoch needed to release the news that there was indeed treasure on the island.
It attracted many scholars and treasure hunters to the island, and later orchestrated the collapse and sinking of the Ocean Oasis.
In reality, it was all just to gather a large number of people on this island.
Let them fight and struggle against each other for the one spot he said would survive.
Because the ocean and mermaid characteristics associated with Atlantis are actually closely related to the birth of life.
So, during the struggles of these people on the island, and after their deaths...
The life energy released from their bodies, polluted by the island, will now nourish the island just as it is now.
Using a large amount of [life], they activated this island that once represented the [life] attribute.
The people on the sacrificial island told Vivian and Fionnian what they meant by "survive, survive to the end."
Indeed, it's all just a way of saying that we want people who come here to have a stronger fighting spirit.
Because in Murdoch's mind, the only one who would remain on this island in the end would be himself.
He will only be himself, nourished by those who have already become his sustenance.
And now, on this island, there are people who possess the status of "treasure heir candidates" that Murdoch described.
It is actually himself, and Alice, who seems to have been "summoned" to this island.
Alice automatically gained the corresponding permissions and identity because she perfectly evolved into the form of a mermaid.
Murdoch, on the other hand, acquired the corresponding abilities and powers after conducting extensive research.
The new life that Gu Xinghe had previously sensed growing in the piece of flesh at the center of the island.
In fact, it was Murdoch who was caught up in it all.
At this moment, he had become one with that piece of mermaid flesh, ushering in a kind of "rebirth" from body to spirit.
Even that piece, nourished by a large amount of life energy.
And the meat chunks that embody people's accumulated faith and spiritual sustenance towards the Lord of the Ocean and Storms.
Indeed, a trace of life force was born.
Having been "reborn" through it, Murdoch should also be able to control life energy with ease.
Now, Murdoch says that Gu Xinghe cannot be a "candidate".
In fact, it's because, as Murdoch said before—
Gu Xinghe is already the one who "opens the door," while Murdoch is still just lingering outside the door.
Therefore, Gu Xinghe can be considered a visitor who has already obtained a "treasure".
At this point, there is no way for them to become another candidate for "treasure".
When Gu Xinghe set foot on the island, he felt that the abundant life energy on the island seemed to be out of place with him.
She was even subtly rejecting and refusing him.
Because whether they come from the ocean of Atlantis or from mermaids, they both represent the essence of life.
The quality of "hope" is now faintly appearing in Gu Xinghe.
While they are not entirely opposed, Gu Xinghe is still not capable enough to make them coexist perfectly.
Now, after Gu Xinghe's conversation with Murdoch has seemingly been going on for some time.
In reality, both parties knew that their conversation was just a delaying tactic.
But neither side paid attention to the time delay.
As Murdoch passionately recounted his past actions, Gu Xinghe seemed to be listening patiently.
Both of them were silently waiting for the time to unlock the treasure on the island.
At this moment, the blood and juices left behind by the people on the island gradually seeped into the ground.
The island they were on suddenly began to tremble violently.
The dark red bloodstains from before seemed to have all disappeared.
Instead, a bright blue pattern appeared, and the entire island seemed to shatter along these patterns.
"Boom!"
Amidst this violent tremor.
This island, which had only recently emerged from the deep sea, is now sinking back into the depths.
At this time, the island began to sink.
The seawater around the island began to surge into the island, pouring into the pit in the center of the island where they were now located.
It is like the giant waves and storms that tiny humans and ships unfortunately encounter when they set sail.
But just as the surrounding seawater, like a high wall, was about to pour down onto the island.
Just as the island was about to be completely engulfed and submerged by the surrounding seawater.
A transparent, water-like film completely enveloped the island.
It did not allow the surrounding seawater to directly flow back into the island.
At this moment, the island where Gu Xinghe and the others were located seemed to be enveloped by a giant, transparent bubble.
Only now is the true form of this island to be revealed to all of them.
