Holy crap, what was that just now?!
What's going on? Isn't it said that healing can't be transmitted through a medium? Why do I feel like I can sense something?
Damn, it turns out I wasn't the only one; I felt it too!
...? Seriously? I don't have a spiritual sea, so I can't sense anything. You guys aren't hired shills, are you?
What are you talking about if you don't have a spiritual sea?! Go find someone in your family who has a spiritual sea to experience it first!
Holy crap! Guys, my brother was right next to me, and you know how his mental state has always been on the verge of collapse, but he actually smiled just now! You know what? A guy who's always so gloomy actually smiled?!
Me too! My child has autism and used to be unwilling to talk to others, but today he unusually clung to my phone screen and wouldn't leave!
...
But the cub, who was the center of attention, did not react at all. It simply closed its eyes slightly, and the world it saw was still the same twinkling stars it had seen while singing.
Countless spirits converged into starlight and appeared in her sea of consciousness. She saw those myriad stars, some strong, some weak, some brilliant, and some dim. Never before had she felt such a strong feeling that they needed her.
A mysterious voice appeared in my mind, accompanied by the phantom of a mermaid. Beautiful, deep blue hair flowed slowly behind her, her fish tail was sharp and strong, and crystal-clear bubbles rose slowly around her.
"Little mermaid, are you ready to receive your inheritance?"
A gentle breeze swept by, and the world seemed to change.
She unconsciously moved her chubby little legs, and in her daze, she felt as light as a feather.
She swept across mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas; across countless green fields; across boundless stars; across the vastness of the universe; and in the very end, she seemed to transform into all things in the world, omnipresent and all-encompassing.
At that very moment, that voice rang out again, seemingly transcending the long river of history.
"Did you know that there was once a mermaid race in this world, and they were even a dominant force?"
The cub opened its eyes wide in confusion upon hearing this. It wasn't strange, but... a powerful overlord!?
Although she is still young, she has attended kindergarten for a few days. Mermaids are one of the rarest races with the smallest proportion of all genes. If she were a powerful ruler, there would be no way she would be the only little mermaid by now!
The voice ignored the cub's confusion and continued speaking.
"Our initial mission was to purify the world of its filth and darkness. We once shared a time of peaceful coexistence with humanity; they provided us with carefree living conditions, and we purified their spiritual seas."
However, human greed led to the extinction of the mermaid race.
As the words fell, a horrifying scene flashed before the cub's eyes.
The once beautiful mermaid lost her scales and her body rotted due to various experiments.
Her beautiful and moving singing voice became hoarse and unpleasant due to the oppression and torment she endured day and night.
Even the young mermaids, barely an arm's length long, were covered in wounds and eventually swallowed their tender sobs and closed their eyes in the boundless, silvery-white laboratory.
Family separation, lovers parting, endless experiments, whether with blood, hair, or scales, like lab rats, never-ending.
But the mermaid's blood will eventually run dry.
"As the last mermaid perished, we cursed this group of greedy humans, for all who are strong will suffer extreme torment, and only a few incompetent ones will be able to escape this endless suffering."
No matter who it is, as long as they yearn for power, they will inevitably suffer endless pain.
This is our revenge against those greedy humans.
Therefore, the suffering that humanity is currently enduring is what they deserve.
The cub, which had initially wanted to argue that humans are all good people, fell silent after seeing this. It really is terrifying!
Like Bao, Du Bao's body was pierced by a needle as long as a fish tail.
The cub couldn't help but tremble, its little face turning pale. However, the cub still cautiously tried to explain itself.
"Aside from the bad guys, there are still a lot of good people~"
Just like our dear friend, in the end, you still give those weak adults a chance.
Those so-called incompetents, or those physically weak, could have simply died in endless suffering, but the mermaids ultimately gave up on the curses they were facing.
There are good and bad people in every ethnic group, as teachers have taught us, and we can't generalize!
The cub held its little hands to its chest and shook its head vigorously, causing the milk jar to sway back and forth.
The voice seemed to smile slightly, but continued speaking.
"That's right, purification is the meaning of our existence, and that's why you appeared."
The cub paused, somewhat not understanding.
"You are the last chance we've given this world."
Now I'll give you two choices.
One option is to accept the mermaid inheritance I give you, thus transcending humanity and becoming the sole true god in the universe. You will possess boundless power, and countless people will flock to you just to win a single glance from you. They will offer you any treasure, anything at all.
"Give it all...?" The cub's eyes were sparkling.
There was a barely perceptible chill, then everything returned to normal. However, before he could say anything else, he heard the cub ask somewhat shyly.
"Then... can Bao make lots and lots of candied hawthorns, braised ones, slurp them up, and little crispy strips... slurp them up...?"
The voice fell silent for a long while, then asked hesitantly.
"Gugu da... what is that?"
However, before the cub could answer, the voice seemed to awaken from a dream. Wait, what was he thinking?
"Well, these things certainly exist, but if you want to obtain them, you must pay the price."
If you are willing to abandon your loved ones and never see them again, then you can receive the mermaid's legacy.
His previously enthusiastic expression immediately fell flat upon hearing this.
"No way!"
The cub immediately hugged its chubby arms, and its parents couldn't compare to those cute little ones!
Moreover, although the cubs are small, there have been times in the past when people would use these things to amuse them.
The cub went from crying because it was wronged to looking angry later on.
The cubs nowadays are incredibly strong in this respect.
The mermaid who was mistaken for a creepy uncle: ...
"There is a second option, but it will be extremely difficult and tiring."
The cub's face was extremely serious; no matter what, he wouldn't choose the first one.
"That is... kid, use all your strength to help those people."
It's time for the sins of the merfolk to be brought to a conclusion.
The cub paused for a moment, then strained its little chest.
"Of course Bao will be spicy!"
Bao really, really likes everyone!
The little cub had a blissful expression on its chubby face.
There seemed to be a hint of amusement in that voice.
"Then... I'll give you one last gift: anyone who has any greed or lust towards the merfolk deserves to die. That disgusting human should suffer the pain of being pierced by a thousand arrows."
As the phantom fell, a glimmer of light seemed to flash in the cub's peripheral vision.
"Go, child...you will be an immeasurable treasure, the only treasure in the universe."
May you be free from worry from now on, may you be peaceful and healthy from now on.
At the same time, a huge light burst forth from the cub's body, and the phantom of the merfolk ancestor appeared in the night sky.
"The mermaid's legacy, the evening snow's chanting, a hundred joys and carefree days."
The rest of the group: !!
