"The dragon has always been alive; he's just asleep."
In the scene, the patrolling mermaid, passing by the dragon fossil, suddenly noticed the loose soil beside it. The guard looked up in confusion and saw a piece of silver scales exposed after the petrified surface of the silver dragon's body had been peeled away.
The scene flashed, and Queen Lian Bansheng, the king of shallow sea mermaids and a fellow scholar, continued softly with a gentle and kind smile, "After discovering the resurgence of the divine dragon, Mao Mao informed me. After our research, we found that the resurgence of the divine dragon requires the vitality contained in the water. The more concentrated the vitality, the sooner the divine dragon can be resurged."
After that, Lian Bansheng naturally instructed the freshwater mermaids in the four districts of the East China Sea to obey the military region's orders and provide as much vitality water as possible for the dragon's revival.
The scene fast-forwards, showing mermaids coming and going, washing the dragon's body with their life-giving water. The petrified marks gradually disappear as if being washed away, until they are completely gone.
The silver dragon's eyes were closed, and even through the screen, the mermaids could still see its majesty.
The scene then cuts back to Yan Maomao, who continues, "When we were helping to remove the fossil material, we also collected the genes of the dragon... Its genes are as unique as those of mermaids, with a similarity of 99.9%, and can actively coexist with the genes of any race of mermaids."
What makes mermaids' genes special is that they share more than 80% of the genes with any other creature on this planet.
Genetic assimilation is a method used to identify mermaid species. Active assimilation means that mermaid genes will be assimilated after assimilation; that is, genes that actively assimilate are the ancestors of genes that passively assimilate.
The dragon is truly the ancestor of all mermaid races.
The five fish crew members of the Pingyao looked like they'd seen a ghost, while the literary fans looked thoughtfully at Yin Chen, who was still listening attentively to the news.
Jiu Li muttered to herself, "Is that brat my ancestor?"
Jiuxiao smiled wryly and said, "Not only your ancestor, but also my ancestor."
“They are our ancestors.” Dongjun patted Jiuxiao’s hand reassuringly.
"Shut up!" Yin Chen suddenly shouted, and everyone immediately shut up.
The news broadcast continued, and after what Yin Chen considered a rather lengthy background introduction, the news finally got to the main content.
The silver dragon, which had been motionless like a statue with its eyes closed, moved its head slightly, and then suddenly opened its eyes. They were golden vertical pupils, indifferent and languid, as if whatever it was looking at was just a tiny speck of dust that it didn't need to care about.
"That's the look in his eyes!! Ah Chen, look! Look!" Lan Qi suddenly became excited. He remembered very clearly the cold, indifferent look in Long Xun's eyes, which seemed to see nothing.
Yin Chen suddenly moved and slowly stood up. His long eyelashes trembled frantically as he tried to open his eyes through a narrow slit, his blood-red eyes squinting at the projection.
Fortunately, this rear projection is really, really huge.
In Yin Chen's blurry vision, the enormous dragon face and eyes stared straight at him through the screen.
It really is him.
That dragon.
The dragon spoke, and that familiar voice, which I had heard before, came from the loudspeaker.
"...I am Long Xun. During my recovery, my consciousness left my body and spent some time in a small town, where I met a group of interesting and peculiar mermaids."
The silver dragon swimming in the sea was exactly what Lan Qi had seen in that fleeting glimpse.
Then, the silver dragon landed on the seabed and slowly transformed into an unimaginably handsome man.
"I don't know where I ended up back then, so I can only tell you in this way."
Long Xun looked at the screen quietly and seriously, and said softly, "Ah Chen, and everyone else, I'm fine, don't worry about me."
...
I'm so glad you're okay.
Very good.
"Hehe...hehehehe~!"
A sudden, relaxed laugh escaped from her throat. The golden-tailed mermaid raised her hand and gently covered her face, chuckling softly.
Then, the smile widened, and between the corners of his mouth, his sharp white teeth gleamed with a cold light.
I must find you, I absolutely must find you.
