Zuan shook his head slightly: "They are actually dead. It's just that the death energy has modified their bodies, making them appear to be alive and retaining so-called vitality."
Upon hearing his words, the mermaid queen felt her heart sink to the bottom.
Seeing these brave defenders die like this filled her with immense sorrow.
“However, I can use a secret technique to seal them away. When they are rescued in the future, they can be reincarnated in the most suitable place,” Zuan said in a deep voice.
"Reincarnation?" The Mermaid Queen was taken aback. "Does reincarnation really exist? And how can it be controlled by humans?"
“There will be a way in future generations. I have seen them in future generations.” Zaun naturally did not want to see such warriors die quietly, so he wanted to seek a better future for them.
Unfortunately, he had lost contact with the Netherworld in this world. If he were to let them die now, he was unsure where they would be reincarnated.
Especially now that the Netherworld is occupied by those "monsters" they have suppressed for countless years, the other side is unlikely to give these nemesis a good ending.
Therefore, we can only wait until the future, after he has taken control of the Netherworld, to properly arrange their whereabouts.
Moreover, this also closes the loop on this history.
Upon hearing that he had seen these guardians in his later life, the Mermaid Queen was both surprised and delighted, and no longer objected, only having one worry: "How can we seal them?"
Zuan took out some materials from the glass orb: "Help me with this..."
He plundered some special materials from the treasure trove of the demon world, and combined with the supplies he brought from the cultivation world before his departure, he had enough to perform his technique.
Considering the stone sculptures of these guards in later generations, the "Baopu Zhenjing" (抱朴真经) contains a sealing method that can achieve a similar effect.
Previously, much of the knowledge in this book was too profound, and he always only vaguely understood it. However, after supplementing his knowledge of formations in the demon world, he has now thoroughly mastered all the formations recorded in it.
The Mermaid Queen moved quickly, placing various materials and banners in specific locations under his command.
Seeing that it was about time, Zu An shielded her behind him, then took out an array plate and began to set up the array. Obscure and difficult-to-understand characters came out of his mouth, and his hands flew up and down on the array plate.
Every few breaths, a beam of clear light would shine upon the guards.
The frenzied guards gradually calmed down, and even the pain they were enduring lessened.
The Mermaid Queen gazed at Zaun's focused expression as he set up his formation, her eyes filled with tenderness.
A man looks really handsome when he's serious.
In the past, there were men who would deliberately try to appear serious in front of her, but for some reason, they never felt anything when they saw her; instead, they felt like laughing.
But this man was completely different; she felt that simply watching him was a delightful experience.
Handsome, highly accomplished, knowledgeable, witty, upright and kind...
She never imagined that a man could possess so many virtues in one lifetime, and now he even knew the most profound array formation techniques in the world.
She was even a little jealous of that mermaid descendant; why did she meet this man first?
Thinking of this, her expression darkened. "I was born before you were born, and you were born after I had grown old."
After an unknown amount of time, Zuan put away the array plate: "Finally done."
At this moment, the previously agitated and restless guards had all quieted down—they had no choice but to quiet down, as if they were covered by layers of stone, and all of them had turned into stone statues.
Zuan said to the many stone statues, "Please remain asleep for a while. When you sense the invasion of demons in the future, you will break out of the ground, and then a destined person will come to save you."
The stone statues seemed to understand his words, and one by one they knelt down to pay their respects to him before slowly walking into the darkness in the distance and disappearing completely.
"Is the destined person you mentioned yourself?" The mermaid queen smiled, noticing that he was covered in sweat, and subconsciously took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his face.
Sensing the other person stiffen, the Mermaid Queen realized that her behavior seemed a bit too intimate.
But she hesitated for only a second and continued wiping.
She knew the other person came from the future, and every meeting could be a farewell forever, so she didn't have many concerns.
Zuan was also a little embarrassed. Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from the other person and looking at that stunningly beautiful face so close to his own, Zuan felt as shy as a virgin.
He had no choice but to break the romantic atmosphere by speaking up: "Yes, in the end, it was indeed I who allowed them to rest in peace."
The Mermaid Queen withdrew her handkerchief, knowing the importance of knowing when to stop: "Eh, why was it that you were able to let them rest in peace in the future, but not now?"
"Firstly, there's an ability I'll only acquire in future generations; secondly, this also aligns with the original course of history."
Zuan was also lamenting that he originally thought those stone sculptures were some righteous people from the ancient sea tribe, but he never expected that he was the one who orchestrated all of this.
The Mermaid Queen, however, seemed lost in thought. This was how history had unfolded, so her actions were subconsciously designed to align with historical fact. Therefore…
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zuan distanced himself from her, and then manipulated the array plate again, sending array flags down near the distant array.
The light from the great array gradually brightened, no longer flickering as before, as if it might go out at any moment.
Zuan put away the array plate: "I've temporarily reinforced it. I'll notify the sea tribe to completely repair these arrays after I've investigated the situation inside."
