Tianqi was somewhat looking forward to Tianning's talk afterward, as he felt there was no need to go through the trouble of finding the worlds where those transmigrators had returned home.
However, it's really not appropriate to discuss such complex issues in the current situation.
Just as the Mermaid Queen obtained the compass and was about to attack Tian Ning, Tian Qi spoke up.
His ability is really useful; as long as he doesn't run into someone like a deaf person who's his natural counter, he can basically do whatever he wants.
"Yena, what are you doing?" Tianqi asked the Mermaid Queen with a questioning tone, "A rebellion?"
Most of the mermaids on the shore were subdued by the people brought by Tianqi and Fu Hongming's group. Long Han, on the other hand, caught the monster that had previously tried to bite Tian Ning. He stared intently at the dragon horn on the monster's forehead, his face extremely ugly!
"Where are the missing members of my dragon clan?!" he demanded of the mermaid queen in return.
The mermaid queen did not lower her hand from the compass.
Even though she looked somewhat disheveled, she still bowed respectfully to Tianqi and said, "My merciful immortal, it is your appearance that has freed the merfolk from being raised and slaughtered like livestock. My merfolk are grateful for everything you have done and will forever offer you our most heartfelt blessings."
"But human greed is endless..."
Tears streamed down her azure eyes as she gazed at the vast ocean, filled with sorrow: "Behind you, in the shadows, they continue to persecute the merfolk."
"We refuse to be treated like this!"
"Why is it that the dragon race, being coveted beings, has been able to live peacefully for tens of millions of years?"
"Because they have the Dragon Ancestor, such a powerful and terrifying being that no one dares to provoke, while my mermaid race is completely the opposite."
"In the human world, there's a story about a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate. Just a hundred years ago, a wandering dragon came here. Those humans who looked down on us were now extremely respectful towards him, not daring to show the slightest disrespect. How ridiculous! In this cultivation world... the strong are respected!"
"So, we decided to make changes..."
Her words enraged Long Han, who threw the captured monster under the mermaid queen's tail: "So, this is what you've done."
The mermaid queen didn't look at him, but calmly said, "We hate humans, we despise humans, but in the end... we became 'humans'."
Long Han could imagine that this group of mermaids subdued the missing dragon and did to him what humans did to mermaids!
However, they only had one dragon, and their plan to mate with a dragon and produce powerful offspring failed after a period of time.
They only received a deformed, monstrous child, and the dragon, unable to bear the humiliation, self-destructed and died.
“But we also benefited from this misfortune,” she said. “Although this child is not strong, he has special abilities.”
"He...can control souls."
“The soul of the deceased is sent into the womb of a pregnant woman, and the child who should not have come into this world to suffer will die, and the soul of the deceased will live on in its place.”
Upon hearing this, Long Han already had a bad feeling.
He never expected that these mermaids would be so insane. Their crimes of imprisoning and killing dragons were not enough; they had gone to such extremes!
Long Han coldly said, "This is a curse!"
"A curse upon your mermaid race!"
"Hahaha... So what if it's a curse?" The Mermaid Queen scoffed. "Since we can't become as powerful as dragons, let's settle for second best and become true humans..."
Her sharp fingertips cut her palm, and bright red mermaid blood flowed onto the compass. Nourished by the blood, the old compass gradually developed complex and eerie spell patterns. A great deal of resentment surrounded the mermaid queen, making people feel uneasy.
Long Han didn't understand what was going on.
