Chapter 64: Quickly Transmigrate to Become the Sea King and Conquer Poseidon
When I woke up, I found myself traveling to an underwater city in the future.
There are handsome men and beautiful women everywhere here, and I have become a sea queen.
The system erased my memory. During one of my voyages, I met the iceberg handsome man Poseidon and fell in love with him.
But I discovered his secret. He was actually...
I woke up with my head in my hand and felt a headache, but what I saw was a completely different scene.
The ceiling above my head was no longer the familiar one, but a shimmering blue.
Countless strange-looking marine creatures swam around above my head, some even emitting a faint fluorescent glow.
I tried to sit up in horror, but found myself lying in a transparent "capsule", filled with an unknown liquid that allowed me to breathe freely.
"Are you awake?" A gentle female voice sounded in my ears. I turned around and saw a girl with long hair looking at me worriedly. Next to her stood a tall and handsome boy, looking at me curiously.
"Where is this? Why am I here?" I struggled to get up, but found myself completely powerless.
Seeing this, the girl quickly pressed a button next to the "capsule", and the liquid gradually receded, allowing me to escape.
My name is Feng Ziang. When I woke up, I found myself in a transparent "capsule" surrounded by an unfamiliar ocean world.
The long-haired girl Lin Xiao and the tall and handsome boy Poseidon told me that a sudden tsunami submerged all land, and only a small number of people like me were transformed by a technology called "water ball" and were able to live on the seabed.
"Water polo is a kind of biotechnology that allows us to breathe and communicate freely underwater."
Lin Xiao explained patiently, "Look," she pointed to her throat, and I discovered that there was a shallow gill fissure on the side of her abdomen.
"It will generate artificial gills in our bodies, allowing us to breathe like fish. As for speaking..." Lin Xiao smiled.
"You'll find that we can understand each other without using our mouths."
I tried to open my mouth, but no sound came out. I could only feel streams of water flowing in and out of my throat.
Poseidon seemed to see my embarrassment and patted my shoulder with a smile.
"Don't worry, just get used to it. It'll be like this at first, and before long you'll be able to communicate with others like us without even using gestures."
In the next few days, Lin Xiao and Poseidon became my mentors, and they patiently taught me how to live underwater.
I began learning to control the rhythm of my breathing, to perceive my surroundings in new ways, and to have “silent” conversations in a way that I still cannot understand.
Although the process was full of challenges, I was surprised to find that I had gradually adapted to this wonderful underwater world.
However, just when I thought I had fully integrated into this new life, something happened that completely overturned my cognition.
That day, Lin Xiao, Poseidon and I went out to collect food.
In order to chase a beautiful little fish, I unknowingly moved away from them.
Just as I was about to return, a strong suction force pulled me to the depths of the seabed... I struggled desperately, but to no avail.
This force was so strong that I was like a fallen leaf being swept into a bottomless abyss. Fear surrounded me like cold sea water.
Just when I was about to despair, the suction suddenly disappeared.
I floated in the water in a daze, looked around, and found myself in an unfamiliar sea.
The water here is deeper than any I've ever seen before. In the dark seabed, you can vaguely see strange-shaped corals and seaweed, emitting a strange light.
I felt an inexplicable uneasiness and wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. However, before I started swimming, a strange feeling came over me.
I felt as if the surrounding sea water had become a part of my body. I could feel its flow, its temperature, and even its "emotions".
I stretched out my hand and tentatively turned my palm toward the seaweed. To my surprise, the seaweed tilted toward my palm as if being moved by an invisible hand.
I immediately withdrew my hand, and the seaweed returned to its original state.
Could it be...I did it? I couldn't believe my feelings and tried a few more times.
Each time, the surrounding waters moved in accordance with my thoughts, as if they were an extension of my arms.
I jumped up excitedly and spun in the water, letting the sea water roll with my movements and form small whirlpools.
I can actually control the flow of water!
This discovery made me both excited and confused. Water polo technology gave me the ability to breathe and communicate underwater, but manipulating water flow was beyond my cognition.
Is there some secret hidden in water polo skills? Or do I have some special ability?
Over the next few days, I began to explore the limits of my abilities.
I can control the speed and direction of the water flow, converge the water flow into a strong water column, and even create small bubbles to wrap myself in them and isolate myself from the sea water.
However, as I became more proficient in mastering my abilities, a new question arose: Why do I have this ability?
Lin Xiao and Poseidon seemed to know nothing about my discovery, and I myself had no idea about my own life experience. What truth did the sudden tsunami conceal?
In search of answers, I began to go out more frequently, hoping to find some clues.
On this day, I came to a market in the underwater world, where all kinds of marine dwellers gathered, and they were trading in various strange ways.
I was attracted by the glowing shells on a stall and was about to go up to ask the price, but suddenly I felt someone patted my shoulder from behind.
I turned around and saw an old man with a hunched back and silver hair looking at me with a smile... I turned around and saw an old man with a hunched back and silver hair looking at me with a smile.
He was wearing a simple robe embroidered with patterns I couldn't understand, and was leaning on a cane carved with a seahorse pattern.
"Hello, old man, are you calling me?" I asked with some confusion.
The old man didn't answer, but just looked me up and down, his cloudy eyes seemed to see through everything.
After a moment, he slowly said, "My child, you have great power within you, but with this power comes great responsibility."
I was even more confused. "Old man, did you recognize the wrong person? I am just an ordinary person, I don't have any power."
The old man smiled and pointed to a coral reef not far away. "Can you make the coral there bloom?"
I followed his finger and saw that the coral reef had lost its vitality for some reason, leaving only a gray skeleton.
I had never heard of corals blooming, let alone being able to manipulate such a thing.
"Old man, please stop joking. How can coral bloom?" I said with a wry smile.
The old man didn't say anything, but just looked at me quietly, his eyes full of encouragement and expectation.
I felt a little uncomfortable with his gaze, and as if possessed, I stretched out my hand and focused my mind on the coral reef.
A shocking scene happened to me. The originally lifeless coral reef seemed to be injected with life, and the originally gray surface began to emit a faint fluorescence.
Then, coral flowers of various colors actually grew out from the coral reefs, emitting a strange glow in the dark seabed.
"How...how is this possible?" I was so surprised that I was speechless.
The old man nodded with satisfaction. "My child, your ability is far beyond your imagination. You are the one chosen by fate, and you need to find your own mission."
"My mission? What is it?" I asked anxiously, my heart full of doubts.
However, the old man did not answer my question. He looked at me deeply, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
I wanted to chase him, but I found that I couldn't see where he was going, as if he had never appeared.
The old man's words echoed in my mind, and I felt like a ship thrown into a fog, unable to find its direction.
Who am I? Where do I come from? Why do I have this ability? What is my mission?
A series of questions troubled me, and I decided to find the answers to these questions.
I vaguely felt that it was no accident that I traveled to this future underwater city. There must be bigger secrets hidden behind my life experience and my abilities.
