New Era (8)
On the Tianchen star, the sky is dotted with stars and the moon is bright. Mermaids jump out of the sea one after another. The mermaids of various colors are shining with sparkling light, which is a beautiful sight.
Some of the mermaids were leaning against the rocks, combing their soft long hair with shell combs, some were using their long tails to create waves on the sea surface, little mermaids of a few years old were swaying left and right with the waves, making crisp laughter, and some were looking forward to the direction of the land.
Finally, a familiar breath came from afar.
Shi emerged from the sea, looking at the long golden-blue fish tail that was rising from the surface of the sea with a smile on his face. The little mermaids all gathered around him, chattering and calling him Brother Panpan.
Gongye Jiwang stopped swimming, slowly approached to greet his people, and took the lead in giving Shi a gentle hug.
The other mermaids also came over and asked him about his recent experiences outside.
Gongye Jiwang patiently answered their questions, holding two little mermaids on his left and right, and dived into the deep sea with his tribesmen who warmly welcomed him.
The Xinghai City that was destroyed in the last battle has been rebuilt. The entire underwater city is covered with glowing seaweed and various pearls and gems, which is so beautiful that it is hard to look away.
After bidding farewell to his clansmen, Shi returned to the Sea God Palace with Gongye Jiwang. As they swam, he glanced back at his son, whose aura was now much stronger than before, and asked, "What's the matter with you coming back so suddenly?"
Although the mermaids like to live in seclusion, they are not oblivious to what is happening outside. They watch federal news every day and maintain friendly exchanges with the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They know that the Zerg have begun to invade the human universe on a large scale in recent times, and the current situation is not optimistic.
Some time ago, the news that Shi Jianxia had gotten into trouble was widely circulated. Shiye asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about Gongye Jiwang's situation. When he learned that he and Shi Jianxia had disappeared in the Nanteng Star Sea together, he was really scared.
Fortunately, there was no danger and both of them returned safely from the Zerg universe.
Gongye Jiwang replied, "I want to enter the Sea God's Tomb."
Shi stopped when he heard that, turned around and looked straight at him.
The Tomb of Poseidon is where successive sea gods sleep, and it is also a sacred place for the mermaids. As long as a seriously injured mermaid has not reached the end of her life, she can gradually recover from her injuries by sleeping in the Tomb of Poseidon.
As the next Sea God of the mermaid clan, Gongye Jiwang should have entered the Sea God's Tomb to receive the Sea God's inheritance after Hong gave him the blessing, breaking through the Holy Realm in one fell swoop and protecting the mermaid clan.
But at that time, the bee-faced man led a large number of insects to invade Tianchen Star in order to find the little bees. Gongye Jiwang had to postpone the matter for the time being. Later, he encountered many things, and it was delayed until now.
The mermaids live in a corner of the world, but if the nest is overturned, all the eggs will be broken. If the human universe is ruled by the Lu people, the mermaids will end up being wiped out.
So, he decided to enter the Mermaid Tomb, accept the blessings of his ancestors, become the new Sea God as soon as possible, and protect the people he wanted to protect.
Shi sighed and leaned over, wanting to touch his head like he did when he was a child. Then he realized that the little tail had grown up and was about to become the new sea god of the mermaids. He placed his hand on his shoulder and patted him gently: "This should have been my responsibility. I'm sorry for the trouble you've caused."
If he had not been sleeping in the Sea God's Tomb, his mother would have had no choice but to pass the Sea God's inheritance to Panpan, and he would not have had to bear such great pressure at such a young age.
Gongye Jiwang shook his head. "If that's the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight alongside Xia Xia."
Shi paused, gave him an indescribable look, then flicked his long sapphire fish tail and swam towards the deep sea without a word.
Gongye Jiwang blinked, then quickly waved his long golden-blue tail and chased after it.

Shi Jianxia did not bring Bai Xiaojiu with her when she left this time.
The daytime insect vortex can only carry her alone, and it is very inconvenient for Bai Xiaojiu to run around between various planets. It is better for her to stay on Nan Teng Star and listen to Xia Yuanji's instructions.
The subsequent clearing operations were basically carried out by Shi Jianxia, who devoured the insect vortexes in the insect-occupied areas, and the Zerg Investigation Department and the military were responsible for the aftermath.
Zhou would occasionally help out, but only to cook high-level Zerg. More often, he would quietly open the insect vortex and run back to Nan Teng Star to eat the snacks made by Shi Ting, and bring some to Shi Jianxia who was very busy.
As the high-risk insect-occupied areas were gradually eliminated, the four remaining Sanctuary Realm powerhouses of the Federation prepared to meet and discuss with Shi Jianxia how to deal with Lu who was hiding in the dark.
Shi Jianxia had just finished dealing with a high-risk insect-infested area and was drinking water when Zhou suddenly walked out of the insect vortex with a serious expression, which scared her.
"What's wrong?" she asked quickly.
She had practically turned a blind eye to Zhou's laziness and his return to Nan Teng Star. It was already a favor that this guy had come to the human universe to help her hunt down Lu; she couldn't possibly ask him to babysit her.
Zhuo replied, "The aura of Slaughter has appeared in the universe, along with his Sanctuary Zerg, and they are currently fighting one of your Sanctuary Zerg. Do you want to join us?"
Shi Jianxia's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately said, "Take me there!"
Lu has been hiding in his tracks, is he trying to defeat the powerful humans in the Holy Land one by one?
Zhou reminded him, "If the battlefield is in the universe, you won't be able to participate at your current level. If a fight really breaks out, I won't be able to take care of you, and it will give Lu an opportunity to take advantage."
Only the strong ones in the Holy Realm can travel in the universe without any protection, which is why Lu waited until now to take action.
If he brought the higher-level Zerg to the planet to encircle and kill the human sanctuary, Zhou would rush there with Shi Jianxia as soon as he detected his presence.
Shi Jianxia's mimicry would stare at his insect vortex like a locust, and with Zhou paving the way for her, she might succeed.
Lu couldn't defeat Zhou who possessed the star core. In order to increase the fault tolerance rate, he could only find a way to destroy Shi Jianxia's golden move.
The biggest limitation is that she and her mimicry cannot move freely in the universe.
Seeing her frown, Zhu added, "And at this time, I can't join the battle and get dragged down. Otherwise, Lu will send someone to kill you right away."
The powerful Saint Realm warriors are very powerful. Even if they are besieged by many people, they will not die in a short time. The other three Saint Realm warriors will sense his situation and will definitely rush to help him immediately.
Including the high-level Zerg under his command, there are a total of five Sanctuaries. There were originally five Sanctuaries on the human side, but the old marshal had been "killed" in the previous battle against the invasion of high-level Zerg, and now there are only four Sanctuaries left.
With four against five opponents, including advanced Zerg with extremely strong regenerative abilities, there is absolutely no chance of winning.
Once the strong men of the Holy Land die, the Federation's defense line against the higher-level Zerg will completely collapse, and Shi Jianxia alone will not be able to turn the tide.
If she doesn't want to die, she can only follow Zhou Tut back to the Zerg universe, but in that case, the human universe will become a purgatory on earth, and by the time she breaks through to the Holy Land, it will be too late.
time.
Even though Shi Jianxia was racing against time, he still fell short in time.
She calmed down and used her smart brain to contact Xia Yuanji.
Zhou watched her actions without saying anything.
The communication was connected, and Xia Yuanji's image appeared in front of Shi Jianxia.
He had been somewhat happy to receive a message from his beloved daughter, but upon seeing her sullen expression, he was stunned for a moment. He quickly realized the purpose of her message and sighed, "Xia Xia, have you made your decision?"
Before leaving Nan Tengxing, Shi Jianxia had a long talk with him and Shi Ting in order to ask them to do him a favor -
The instrument that the doctor once used to extract the power of the star core was activated to help her break through to the sanctuary.
It takes a lot of time to become a strong Saint. Pei Qin, the youngest Saint in the Federation, is already a genius among geniuses, but he was promoted to the Saint at the age of 33.
It has not been long since Shi Jianxia awakened from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and it takes a lot of energy for the cubs to upgrade, so they have not yet reached the top level of the extraordinary realm.
Apart from the star core, Shi Jianxia couldn't imagine any other power that could help her achieve the holy realm in a short period of time.

In the cold white laboratory, Zhou and Shi Jianxia walked out of the golden vortex.
Shi Ting and Xia Yuanji put on white coats, and Zhuang Mingyue stood beside them.
Shi Ting looked at Shi Jianxia worriedly, or perhaps he had already prepared himself mentally, so he didn't say much at this time.
She took a deep breath and whispered, "Xia Xia, everything that needs to be prepared is ready."
After the secret laboratory of Higanbana was confiscated by the Zerg Investigation Department, all experimental instruments were strictly guarded and preserved.
The idea of absorbing the power of the star core through the instrument made by the doctor was something Shi Jianxia came up with after returning from the Zerg universe, and he and Ji Yang had already reached a consensus on it.
Zhuang Mingyue was responsible for secretly transporting the equipment to Nan Teng Star and organized trusted researchers to repair and adjust it.
Xia Yuanji had used these instruments before, and Shi Ting had worked with the doctor for a long time. After getting to know and become familiar with them over the past period of time, both of them were almost able to operate the instruments proficiently.
Shi Jianxia felt relieved to leave this matter to them. She nodded and said, "There's no time to waste. Let's get started now?"
Using the instrument to absorb the power of the star core has only a 50% success rate. Shi Ting's original intention was to improve the instrument as much as possible to increase the success rate.
But the tight time did not allow her to perfect the instrument.
Zhuang Mingyue nodded and said, "I'll go guard outside. Call me if you need anything."
She also received news that the powerful people in the Holy Land were being besieged by high-level Zerg. Although she was extremely anxious, she could only force herself to calm down and do her job well.
Ji Yang organized a fleet to provide support, even though he knew it might not be of much help and that the longer the delay, the better.
Shi Jianxia thanked Zhuang Mingyue, quickly hugged Xia Yuanji and Shi Ting, took off his coat, and lay down in the experimental cabin wearing only a thin shirt.
Zhou took a step back, leaned against the cold wall of the laboratory with his arms folded across his chest, closed his eyes and sensed the battle situation in the distant universe.
