After calming down the milk tea, Long Xun turned his attention to the ring.
The next moment, the plot of this world flooded his mind, and Long Xun finally understood the origin of the stone he had turned into.
Just as Long Xun had guessed, this world was indeed a magical world dominated by mermaids, and countless myths and legends had arisen in this world, among which dragons appeared.
The large rock floating in space is actually a fossil that the dragon turned into over time after it died, and Long Xun became that dragon fossil.
The story begins the moment the dragon fossil is discovered and brought back. The eastern district is sealed off to allow the dragon fossil to fall into the sea. At that time, the two protagonists of the story, Dongjun, the king of volcano mermaids, is patrolling the blockade line when he happens to save Jiuxiao, the only remaining floating mermaid. This is the first meeting between the couple in this story.
At the same time, the Shenlong fossils, after being washed by seawater, regained their vitality and began to recover little by little.
Long Xun guessed that the resurrected life force had inadvertently pushed out something that didn't belong to the dragon's true form—a tiny bit of consciousness carried by the system—which is why he's in his current state. Most of his consciousness probably still lies dormant in that body, which would explain why he feels like all his abilities except for those of the system have disappeared.
The two main characters in this story are Dongjun, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fourth District of the East Sea and the King of the Volcano Mermaid Clan. Dongjun is incredibly beautiful, possessing a cold and aloof personality, yet fair and just. He is also quite kind to the weak and cherishes mermaid cubs. Because of his youth, his individual martial prowess isn't the strongest among the Seven Mermaid Kings, but his greatest strength lies in commanding his army. His Vulcan Legion is a crucial defensive line protecting the fish-people of the Fourth District of the East Sea from sea monster attacks.
Born into nobility and rising rapidly in rank, Dongjun is a true high-achieving, wealthy, and handsome man. After experiencing the calamity of the sea monster uprising a thousand years ago, he has shed all the spoiled nature that a high-achieving, wealthy, and handsome man might have. Dongjun has now become a perfect male merman, a well-known eligible bachelor among the merfolk. A widely circulated saying in the merfolk world is: "Marry a merman like the Commander-in-Chief, and befriend the Major General of the North."
The Major General from the North was Leng Xiang, the polar mermaid, and Xi Huayue, the now world-renowned captain of the Pingyao spaceship that found the Shenlong fossil. Both Leng Xiang and Xi Huayue were once military fish of the Beichuan Military Region. During a battle against sea monsters, the Beichuan Military Region suffered a major defeat. When the Fourth District of the East China Sea went to provide support, both Xi Huayue and Leng Xiang were seriously injured and trapped in a deep canyon. At that time, for the sake of the overall situation, the fish generals of the Beichuan Military Region abandoned Leng Xiang and Xi Huayue. However, Leng Xiang dragged her seriously injured body and carried Xi Huayue out of the deep canyon.
Afterwards, the severely injured Leng Xiangning kept staring at Xi Huayue until the medical staff treated his friend first, and only then did Leng Xiangning faint with relief.
Such a friendship caused a sensation throughout the mermaid world when it was first revealed. If there were a program like "Touching Mermaids," Leng Xiang could probably be a part of it.
However, due to severe injuries, Xi Huayue could no longer serve as a military fish, so after retiring, she became an astronaut thanks to her excellent physical condition.
The other protagonist of this story, Jiu Xiao, is a nearly extinct floating mermaid. He is gentle and kind, seemingly a good old fish, but he is actually kind on the outside but ruthless on the inside. The reason he was chased by sea monsters at the beginning is that... after killing his adoptive parents, he wandered around and accidentally passed by the sea monster's nest while planning his escape route, which led to his being hunted down.
In ancient times, the floating mermaid race was so beautiful that, apart from being able to swim freely in the sky as if it were in the sea, they had no other abilities. In addition, because of their beauty, they were captured and kept as pets by powerful mermaids and played with at will. Although a floating mermaid protection law was promulgated after the reform of mermaid society, the race has indeed been declining. Three hundred years ago, the floating mermaid race was declared extinct.
However, this only means that the levitating mermaids no longer foolishly fly freely into the sky. After falling into the water, it is actually difficult to distinguish the differences between mermaids, since there are many mutated species.
As the only remaining levitation mermaid, Jiuxiao was kept under the control of her adoptive parents, who carefully trained her, intending to sell her to a good merchant at the right time. Jiuxiao appeared gentle and kind, but her heart was indifferent and cold. At first, she did not care about her fate. However, her adoptive parents later picked up another mermaid, who was none other than Jiuxiao's younger brother, Jiuli.
When Jiu Li was young, he was even more beautiful than Jiu Xiao. His tail had a very peculiar gradient color, blue on top and purple on the bottom, gradually deepening in color. His eyes were also heterochromatic, one blue and the other purple. Because of his unusual appearance, his adoptive parents thought he was a mermaid left over from ancient times. However, after they took him in, they discovered that he was just a poisonous hybrid mermaid. Purple was a common color for poisonous mermaids.
Poisonous mermaids are indeed rare, but no one likes them. The adoptive parents realized they had picked up a worthless child, and their attitude towards Jiu Li can be imagined.
When Jiu Li was taken in, he was too young to understand the situation. In his eyes, his adoptive parents doted on his older brother but beat and scolded him constantly. He felt a mixture of envy, jealousy, and resentment towards his older brother, Jiu Xiao. But in Jiu Xiao's eyes, his younger brother was the only light in his life. When Jiu Li was young, Jiu Xiao would give him anything good he had. Jiu Li's little smiles were the only thing that kept Jiu Xiao alive and prevented him from going insane.
Later, his adoptive parents found Jiu Li too annoying to fish, so they tricked him into going out with them and left him outside.
After his adoptive parents returned, Jiu Xiao couldn't find Jiu Li. After asking a couple of questions, he understood what had happened. He held back for a while. A few days later, when his adoptive parents were giving him another lesson, they used the binding tools to tie the two fish together and then whipped them to death with barbed whips.
