Fortunately, the prince had a backup plan, otherwise he would have actually drowned in the sea.
Even after the incident was over, the prince remained unconvinced, believing that what happened that day was just an accident.
So he decided to look for another way.
Including but not limited to coming to the beach every morning to sing and occasionally showing off his fancy sea-diving skills.
During that time, the mermaids in the deep-sea palace could hear the fish's complaints and grumbles every day.
They said that a person appeared on the sea who sang even worse than Shen Yulou.
He also likes to jump into the sea!
This is so annoying!
I originally thought that Shen Yulou's singing skills were already among the best in the world, but I never expected that someone even worse would come out.
Their words successfully attracted the attention of Shen Yulou's older brothers and sisters.
So one morning, Shen Yulou's older brothers and sisters dragged her to the sea to listen to the prince sing.
Well, they just want to see their younger brother make a fool of himself.
However, Shen Yulou felt that she sang much better than the prince, so she sang in the sea even more often.
The prince searched for a long time but found no trace of the mermaid, yet his desire to possess the mermaid world was too strong.
He wrote many letters, uniting the various kingdoms of the continent to slaughter the creatures of the sea.
They also laid traps all over the sea in an attempt to capture mermaids.
In an instant, the ocean was littered with corpses.
Shen Yulou and his older siblings were trapped by humans while rescuing marine creatures that had fallen into a trap.
When the Mermaid King learned that his children had been captured, he was enraged and joined forces with the sea witch to use his trident to create a giant wave that submerged the entire landmass, making it impossible to see or hear about it.
However, the Mermaid King's indiscriminate killing also brought him to the judgment of the gods.
The gods decided to perform a "heart-weighing ceremony" on the Mermaid King.
In this ritual, the heart of the person being judged is placed on one side of a scale, while the other side holds a feather from the goddess Mata, who represents justice and righteousness.
Anubis was responsible for adjusting the scales to check if they were balanced.
If the heart of a person on trial weighs as little as or less than a feather, it means that they were good and just in life, innocent, and have been released.
If the heart weighs more than a feather, then Anubis, the god of death, will give the heart to the monster Amit to eat.
This is a ferocious beast with the mouth of a crocodile, the upper body of a lion, and the lower body of a hippopotamus. Once its heart is eaten, it cannot be resurrected and dies completely.
The sea god Sirenius was naturally on the side of the Mermaid King. As a god whose strength was comparable to that of the King of Gods, the gods were unwilling to offend him.
Originally, the Mermaid King's trial ceremony was just a formality due to Sirens' interference.
All the gods knew that the Mermaid King would definitely be resurrected.
But Set, Sirens' nemesis, seeing this rare opportunity, would certainly not grant Sirens's wish.
Set conspired with Saturn, the drought god who shared his hatred of the Sirens, to secretly tamper with the scales of the "heart-weighing ceremony."
According to Anubis, the Mermaid King's heart was heavier than Matt's feather.
The demon Amit strictly followed the rules and devoured the Mermaid King's heart the instant the result was announced.
Sirens was furious and investigated carefully, discovering that it was Set and Saturn who were behind it all.
The three gods fought fiercely on Mount Olympus, causing the sun and moon to lose their light and the world to fall into darkness.
This fighting can't go on forever; it's affecting the lives of the gods, and everyone feels that Set and Saturn are on the verge of being destroyed by the Sirens.
Cloyden, the god of judgment, quickly summoned Odin, the king of the gods, and his queen, Seraphine.
The three gods together brought the conflict to a halt.
In an effort to appease the enraged Sirens, Odin punished Set and Saturn by having Cloyden put them on trial and imprison them in Tartarus.
