☆, The Daughter-in-law of the Sea 12

The Sea Emperor, the supreme leader of the mermaid tribe, has been in this position for more than two thousand years.

　Legend has it that after the First Emperor unified Liuhe, he kept sending people overseas to search for the Penglai Fairy Mountain. It was at that time that he discovered mermaids living in the sea. This wonderful creature with a human body and a fish tail was immediately regarded as a heavenly creature by humans. They have graceful figures and beautiful faces. Not only do they have beautiful singing voices, they are good at weaving shark gauze worth thousands of gold, and their tears can turn into pearls.

　How could such a creation not attract human greed? After the emperor learned about it, he was even more delighted, and ordered that all the mermaids must be captured as proof of his outstanding achievements. The mermaid clan was now facing annihilation.

　In the process of fleeing and resisting, the number of mermaids decreased sharply. In order to protect the group, they elected a leader whom everyone expected--the first Poseidon Emperor with the recommendation of all the mermaids.

　Compared to the huge number of humans, the mermaids were ultimately invincible. Under the leadership of the Sea Emperor, the mermaids left the offshore sea and looked for a new home in the vast expanse. However, although the ocean is huge, not every place is suitable for mermaids to live. They drifted with the ocean currents until they discovered a huge eye of the sea in the deepest part of the South China Sea.

　The eye of the sea is ten thousand feet deep and surrounded by turbulent reefs. Only mermaids with excellent water skills can enter and exit freely. In the eye of the sea, countless corals, hawksbill turtles, snails, clams, and pearls grow among them, like thousands of stars dotted on the sky. Just under the stars, in the center of the eye of the sea, is a temple.

　"God... Temple?"

　"Yes," Haiyuan's voice was soft and indifferent, seeming to recall the magnificence of the temple. "To be precise, it is the ruins of the temple."

　A place that should have never been set foot by any living being. Why is there a ruined temple in this place? It is certain that with human power, it is absolutely impossible to enter the Eye of the Sea, so this can only be a relic left by the gods.

　The mermaids worshiped this, because they were afraid that the unknown god would not allow them to settle here, so the Emperor of the Sea did not hesitate and entered the ruins alone. No one knew what was found inside. While everyone was waiting anxiously, Poseidon finally returned safely and announced in public that the gods allowed them to stay here and would protect them. And that temple enshrines the artifacts left by the gods. From then on, they are the sacred objects of the mermaid clan.

　"Such a sacred object has since become the basis for mermaids to select new Sea Emperors. The first Sea Emperor left a last word before his death. Only mermaids recognized by the holy objects can become Sea Emperors."

　And on the day of the death of every Sea Emperor Children born will be selected as candidates for the Poseidon Emperor. They need to be sent to the temple to touch the sacred objects. If the sacred objects give revelation, they will be crowned as the new Poseidon Emperor.

　After becoming the Sea Emperor, the mermaid will abandon her past surname and be given the surname "Hai". This is why Chaoyuan is now called Haiyuan.

　The surname "Hai" and the sea map are the two symbols of the Sea Emperor. The sea map is made from the essence and blood of the previous generation of Poseidon, and is drawn on the new Poseidon using a special secret method. Therefore, in order to obtain the sea map, the reigning Poseidon must die.

　"I think you still remember the mermaid who attacked me that night." Seeing Yao Ji nodding, Haiyuan smiled faintly, "Like me, he was a candidate for the Sea Emperor, but unlike every previous candidate, When we came into contact with the sacred objects, both of us received divine revelation."

　That is a rare event that is still talked about by mermaids more than three hundred years later. Whether it is written records or hearsay, it is said that thousands of golden lights suddenly bloomed in the temple that day, and all the fish present were stunned, because on the sacred object, there were two baby hands.

　"Both of them were recognized as holy objects at the same time. Even the great elder of the Presbyterian Council couldn't make a decision, so Xunzhou and I - the mermaid - were left in the Sea Palace together to be trained as Sea Emperors at the same time. The Presbyterian Council discussed It was then decided that when we become adults, we will decide who will be the King of the Sea based on the performance of both parties. As you know the result," the mermaid lowered her eyes, "I was the one chosen." "So... Xunzhou was

　resentful and wanted to kill him. Are you seeking to seize the throne of the Sea Emperor?"

　Haiyuan shook his head: "That's not the case. Xunzhou is just a puppet of the Presbyterian Church." He smiled, "Just like me in the past."

　"The reason why I am being chased I had to flee for a very simple reason - I touched something I shouldn't have touched."

　What was that thing? The mermaid commoners think it is tradition and habit, the mermaid nobles call it rules and regulations, but the Presbyterian Council knows full well that it is actually benefits.

　"But I think it should be called the truth."

　The truth is that Haiyuan was chosen not because he was more suitable to be the Emperor of the Sea, but because he was from the Chao family. According to the tacit rules, it was Chao's turn to be chosen. The descendants of his family will be kings of the sea.

　Originally, the Presbyterian Church had secretly arranged everything, and the lucky person from the Chao family would receive divine enlightenment when he touched the holy object. However, they never expected that the real divine enlightenment would appear, and it would also be in two people.

　"What divine revelations and sacred objects are all false."

　When the Poseidon made up lies more than two thousand years ago, he might just want to calm the hearts of his subjects, but this lie was passed down from generation to generation and eventually turned into Ordinary people worshiped him, and the nobles used it as a tool to gain profits.

　"From more than two thousand years ago to the present, a total of eleven sea emperors have been born in the mermaid clan. Each sea emperor was born from the four families of Chao, Xi, Xun, and Cang. Can you imagine? Yaoyao, the gods turned out to be They care so much for those four families and are not willing to let anyone else lose even a little bit of their glory!" The mermaid sneered, "Compared to the human emperors who simply rely on blood for inheritance, I really don't know who is more shameless. A little, we should be more despicable."

　Yao Ji was speechless for a moment, silently holding Haiyuan's hand and shaking it gently. This action calmed down the mermaid's anger a little. The moment he learned the truth, he was in so much pain that he couldn't accept it. Thinking about it now, he was left with only deep powerlessness.

　Sometimes Haiyuan will think that maybe he is happy not knowing the truth.

　Look at Xunzhou, look at those uninformed mermaids, whether they are civilians or nobles, they think there is nothing bad about their current life. Led by the Sea Emperor who is recognized by the gods, there are four major families that have protected the mermaid clan from generation to generation. Most of the mermaids originally had few desires and little demands, and were independent of the world. Sometimes they can sing songs on the seabed for a whole night, even if it is just Picking up a pearl can also make them happy all day long.

　"But more than two thousand years have passed, and even the eyes of the sea will one day no longer be able to protect us."
