Osiris especially loved the way the fry called out to their father in their tender voices, and how they uttered those sweet, affectionate words of love for their father.
It seems that as you keep talking and raising your child, they grow up without you even realizing it.
Osiris suddenly stopped Qianyuan's disappearing figure and firmly grasped one of her wrists.
Only after seeing that memory of the future did Osiris feel jealousy and regret.
Why couldn't he have possessed Qianyuan earlier, and picked up that tiny fish fry while he was still alive? That way, he wouldn't have been lonely for thousands of years before that ray of light shone on him.
How could Qianyuan not understand his family's loss and reluctance? His almost vanishing body embraced Osiris, his resolve always unwavering:
"Dad, I love you."
Osiris watched helplessly as the child in his arms returned home, with only a pile of small pearls remaining to prove that Chiyo had indeed appeared.
Osiris melted those small pearls into a large pearl, and thousands of years later, he placed his spirit, which had been in existence when he fell, inside the pearl.
This is how the tradition of the Mermaid King being passed down from one ruler to another came about.
With these memories, Qianyuan understood everything.
Holding the pearl on the throne, Qianyuan suddenly burst into tears, remembering her previous encounter with Osiris.
He embraces and reunites with his family time and time again across time and space. Is this fate or a testament to his father's love?
It turns out that Dad had been risking his life to protect him all along.
Qianyuan looked at Osiris, who had been waiting by her side, and the grievances and sadness welling up in her eyes poured out at this moment.
While crowning Qianyuan, Osiris quickly wiped away Qianyuan's tears with his hand, covering the slight redness at the corners of his eyes.
After Qianyuan calmed down, Osiris watched as his beloved raised the sword and crown that belonged to the king, and was about to ascend the throne.
Dad had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
So long that when Qian Yuan transformed into rain in the form of a white dragon to commemorate the countless souls of those who died in battle in the Great Yu Dynasty, so long that when Qian Yuan risked her life to withstand the calamity that descended from the rift in time and space, so long that Qian Yuan was willing to take the cataclysmic disaster with her to the end and fall into a deep sleep...
These are all the honors and growth that Qianyuan deserves to be crowned with.
With each long, drawn-out cry, all the creatures of the ocean fell silent, and all seemed to sense it, bowing their heads in worship before the sunrise.
This is the coronation of the Mermaid King, the only merman in the world.
Ancient texts say: Mermaids live in the sea, dwelling in the water like fish, yet they do not cease weaving, their tears falling like pearls. They can stir up water for a thousand miles and soar up and down to the heavens.
It was only at this moment that Qianyuan understood her true mission and identity.
He is not only the Mermaid King, but also the ancestor of humankind, the Merman, who serves as the guiding star for humanity in its search for a new world.
No wonder humans, especially those with ancient bloodlines, like Shi Wuyai and his ilk, have a natural affinity and fondness for Qian Yuan.
In an instant, Qian Yuan became the ancestor of both the human and mermaid races.
But whoever he is, his position in the deep sea is already unshakeable.
Osiris looked at him encouragingly, and Qianyuan raised his face, about to announce the new rules for becoming king...
After the merfolk got a king, they stopped being crazy and withdrawn. Every day was peaceful and quiet. Everyone just wanted to show off in front of the king, and life was extremely amiable.
There was only one thing that made Osiris and Gobert less than happy.
Ever since humans watched Qianyuan's coronation ceremony live and learned that Qianyuan was a merman, they have been asking Qianyuan to come to the mainland every now and then.
Shi Wuyai's legs no longer hurt, he's not out of breath, and even his back has straightened considerably. He can now argue his points with Osiris with reason.
"Qianyuan is also our ancestor! He was specially sent by the heavens to guide us! You mermaids can't keep Qianyuan to yourself forever, can you?! What, he is your king, and also our Mermaid King!"
Osiris grew tired of it all, his spirit becoming blurred with rage, resembling a pitiful widow forced to abdicate by a young minister. He had originally intended to bare his fangs at Shi Wuyai to intimidate him, but upon sensing a ripple behind him, Osiris resumed his act.
Shi Wuyai: Just keep acting... Who can outact you...?
Osiris didn't even need to look to know that it was Chiyuki swimming in after finishing her official business. Chiyuki was originally thinking about how to comfort her empty-nest father who she had left in the room, but when she entered, she saw that Osiris's spirit form was already blurred.
"dad!"
Qianyuan was terrified and rushed forward to see what had happened to Osiris. When he confirmed that his father's spirit was unstable, he didn't dare to touch it and could only pace anxiously in circles.
Osiris looked at Qianyuan, his usually cold expression surprisingly showing a hint of vulnerability and grievance:
“You don’t call me ‘Dad’ anymore, you just call me ‘Dad’... It makes it sound like we’re not close at all…”
Qian Yuan was casting a spell to stabilize Osiris's spirit when he heard this, and he felt somewhat helpless:
“I’m a big fish fry now, and a king at that, so it’s a little embarrassing for me to call you ‘Dad,’ but I’m always calling you that…”
Osiris looks more vulnerable:
"Do you love your dad less now that you're older? I know you'll eventually run ashore with that human kid and turn your dad into an empty-nest fish, spending every day waiting for your messages on his phone, lonely and isolated, with no fish to care for him..."
Qianyuan: ...
Qianyuan was both amused and exasperated: "Dad, I haven't left yet."
Seeing this, Osiris turned his phone screen around so that Qianyuan could see Shi Wuyai, who was video chatting with them.
Osiris said, with a seductive yet urgent tone:
