Chapter 62 Tears of the Heart
"My kind, the mermaids, are born without the ability to cry!"
His eyes swept over all the shocked humans present. The hatred and resentment in his heart could only turn into a stream of blood.
“So, they captured my people and imprisoned them one by one in small, cold rooms.
Since mermaids can't cry, let them try their best and cry against their instincts!
They hung up my people one by one, pulling out their tendons and stripping their bones every day!
Yet he chose not to kill her, leaving her to wail in the empty hall every night!"
"Until the last mermaid, my mother...
She was lying in the middle of a pool of blood, and hanging around her were our relatives, my brothers and sisters, and all those who loved me!
They are in pain, they are desperate, they have lost everything, but they cannot even get death!
They cannot die because they will be forced to cry!"
"The last mermaid screamed, tears of blood and pain rolling down her cheeks from her eyes, eyes that could never shed tears again!
All the sadness, all the despair, all the hatred, condensed into only one in this world!
The one and only Star Amber Tears!
This is the treasure you want!"
Suchuan pointed to the Star Amber Tears in An Zhi's hand.
Then, he turned his gaze to his fish tail, which had not yet completely stabilized.
"I... I'm not a pure-blooded mermaid."
He said softly, his voice full of self-mockery and fatalistic helplessness.
"I am a cross between a human and a mermaid. I cannot completely transform into a fish body like a pure-blooded mermaid, nor can I maintain my human form like a human. I was born a half-human, half-fish monster, and should be unacceptable to both races."
“The humans on land didn’t welcome me and sank me into the sea.
I thought I was going to drown and be swallowed by the sea.
It was the mermaid... who adopted me.
Communication in the sea was inconvenient, so the sea god once personally bestowed the sound of the tide to all tribes.
As long as the sea people are near water, they can hear the calls in each other's hearts.
The mermaid found me almost drowning.
They taught me how to breathe underwater, they didn’t look down on my disability or my differences, and they gave me a home.”
"But...but because of this flaw, I couldn't die with my people!"
Suchuan's tears and blood flowed once again. He fell to his knees and wailed at the ruins that had long been destroyed:
“The people on land have captured all my relatives!
I was the only one left, in the cold water, amidst the endless sound of the tide, listening to their final sorrow, pain, and despair!
Suchuan's accusation echoed in the underground altar, and every word pierced the hearts of all the humans present.
They never imagined that this amber tear, which was regarded as a rare treasure, actually hid such a bloody and tragic past.
"So...so Star Amber Tears are not a treasure that can nourish life or prolong life at all!"
Suchuan looked at the Kevis family, his expression full of ridicule and sadness.
"It is simply the tears of despair condensed from the flesh, blood, and souls of my people after they were pushed to the extreme by you humans, and even the instinct to cry was taken away!
It contains not vitality, but sadness and resentment!"
He pointed fiercely at the vortex in the center of the altar. After Suchuan's mental power erupted, the vortex became even more violent, and the blue light almost swallowed everything.
"As for the vortex... this so-called 'Advent of the Sea God'... is nothing more than tidal turbulence!
It is not summoning any gods, but tearing the space and connecting the energy turbulence in the universe!
The life force of those children you kidnapped is being drained from the altar as living sacrifices to open this portal!
Once the vortex is fully opened, the tidal turbulence will completely surge into Halo Star, tearing everything here apart, devouring it, and turning it into nothingness! "
Suchuan's gaze fell on An Zhi again: "Only An Zhi...only her!
She resonated with the Star Amber Tears, and she could feel the extreme sadness contained in the Star Amber Tears!
She can channel the power of Star Amber Tears to stabilize this vortex!
Only she can put an end to this!"
He and Suchuan struggled to stretch out their hands, pointing at Gu Jinyan: "Give me the Star Amber Tears! Give me An Zhi!
Only in this way can we reverse this vortex and rescue the trapped children! Otherwise, everyone will die here!"
The mermaid taught him kindness and gratitude.
This beautiful race forgot to teach him how to hate and how to resent.
He wandered day after day in resentment and hatred, and returned to his hometown.
He didn't know what to do better.
Perhaps, he still hopes that the planet where he once lived is safe and sound.
The Shadow Demon's expression finally changed: "You...you traitor! How dare you reveal the secrets of the Sea God!"
Gu Changfeng listened to Suchuan's explanation and finally understood everything.
The "wave sound" that has troubled them for many days is the result of resonance with the Star Amber Tears.
"Gu Jinyan, you guys go over there."
Under the protection of Star Amber Tears, the two slowly moved over.
Standing under the whirlpool, the wind and waves were even stronger.
Suchuan could no longer stand and half-knelt down to hold the small gem.
The rotation speed of the vortex in the center of the altar began to stagnate slightly, which was barely noticeable.
However, the danger is not over.
The "Shadow Demon" roared angrily, he would never allow his plan to be ruined.
Black mist surged around him, and he rushed towards Suchuan and Anzhi desperately, trying to stop them.
The Kevis family also came to their senses. Although the truth about the Star Amber Tears shocked them, the family's interests and the lives of their ancestors were still their primary considerations.
Besides, who knows whether what this little liar said is true or not.
Mermaids are full of treasures, which human hasn’t heard of it?
Aston waved his hand, members of the Kevis family rushed forward again.
Gu Jinyan did not hesitate at all, and released his mental power despite the huge backlash pressure.
The temperature dropped suddenly, and the water vapor in the air almost condensed into ice crystals, swelling wildly.
"roar--!"
Accompanied by a soul-shaking wolf howl, the Snow White Wolf suddenly appeared under the altar.
It has a huge body, fur as white as snow, and carries a biting chill.
The huge white wolf did not attack, but bent down without hesitation, carefully placing Suchuan and Anzhi under it, and used its huge body to build an indestructible barrier.
Gu Jinyan's face also turned pale, and beads of sweat rolled down his face.
With the appearance of the white wolf, wind and snow rose out of nowhere, whistling like sharp blades, rapidly spinning around the white wolf and the two people it was guarding.
The blizzard obstructed the vision of those approaching.
"Damn it! What is this?!"
Austin's face also darkened. He didn't expect that Gu Jinyan could forcibly release his spiritual body in such an environment with restricted mental power.
Gu Changfeng took this opportunity to rush towards the "Shadow Demon", holding a gun in one hand and a blade in the other, aiming directly at the opponent's vital points.
As long as the "Shadow Demon" can be stopped, the expansion of the vortex can be temporarily curbed.
The entire altar fell into chaos again.
Everyone started the most primitive fight for their own purpose.
