"???"
Gu Ran was suddenly stunned.
He suddenly remembered what the "Prophet" said when he invited the Mermaid Ancestor Queen to seal the Sea Eye together.
"You can think of the deep water as some tiny organisms. Once they get a suitable environment, they will multiply and grow without limit. Its group consciousness is underground. Although it has a slight connection with the deep water on the surface, this slight consciousness is not very strong. As long as we cut off this slight consciousness, the deep water on the surface will lose the guidance of the group consciousness."
"Without the guidance of a large group consciousness, the deep water on the surface will need a very long time to regenerate a group consciousness. This time is enough for us to solve the problem. When the time comes, we can just follow the same method and build some sealing devices and facilities."
"Deep Water" ...
"Massive Consciousness"...
Could it be that the "evil god consciousness" generated on this "Ark Core" was due to the "deep water" in the sea eye
This guess suddenly popped up in Gu Ran's mind.
What the "prophet" meant in his words was that if time was long enough, the "deep water" on the surface would be enough to produce a new "ethnic consciousness."
If we want to prevent the "deep water" accumulated on the surface from producing such "ethnic consciousness", we need to build another device like the Sea Eye Ruins.
But this is under ideal conditions.
The reality is that no one is maintaining these sea eye ruins anymore. For example, the ruins that suppressed Ariel's mother had become a little loose before, and the "deep water" accumulated inside was about to overflow.
This should be related to the decline of the mermaids. When the mermaids were strong, they still had the power to maintain these ruins, but after their decline, the mermaids certainly did not have the power to continue maintaining them.
And because of the changes in their relationship with humans, the mermaids now even think about completely digging up the remains of the sea eye and causing the "deep water" to erupt.
Perhaps due to the lack of relevant historical records, today's mermaids, such as Ariel and her mother, do not know that when the "deep water" erupts, it will also cause damage to the ocean.
At the end of the last civilized era, a great flood brought about the deathly silence that wiped out all living things, and marine life was no exception.
This was the main reason why the mermaid ancestor queen agreed to help the "prophet".
However, after such a long time, the mermaids may have forgotten the reason for sealing the sea eye, and thought that if the sea eye erupted and flooded the continent, it would only harm humans.
Or maybe the eruption of a sea eye is not that scary, and they feel it has no impact on life in the sea.
In short, times are changing.
These sea eye ruins lack relevant maintenance, and "deep water" continues to accumulate and begin to overflow.
Then it was somehow connected to the "Ark Core", and the generated "ethnic consciousness" was obtained by the people of the Far East City with the "Ark Core" as the carrier, and was worshipped like a "god".
This was Gu Ran's guess, but he felt that the facts should be similar to this.
So, now it wants to return to the "big group" through the sea eye
Return to the mysterious and untraceable underground
Gu Ran's heart suddenly tightened.
He wondered what would happen if it did return to the "big herd."
However, Gu Ran didn't want to let it take away the "Ark Core" that carried it.
The "Ark Core" involves the secrets of the previous civilization, and may even involve deeper secrets of this world.
And it’s closely related to him.
No matter what, he at least managed to intercept the "Ark Core".
However, what surprised Gu Ran was that when he landed on the ruins of the Sea Eye and was about to subdue the "Ark Evil God Core", he sensed what it "said" from that mysterious connection.
"... ...reject my return? ... ...why?"
“Why… Why…”
"The Ark Evil God Core" continued to convey its doubts.
At the same time, Gu Ran could sense a hint of fear from its "words".
That's right, fear.
"Is he afraid of me?" Gu Ran thought.
The next moment, the "words" conveyed by the "Ark Evil God Core" suddenly became faster, and Gu Ran could even feel its anxiety.
"Hurry up... Hurry up... He will catch up soon..."
"He's so scary... I want to go home... I want to come back..."
"I can sense him... He's coming after us soon..."
“It’s horrible... Let me go home...”
Gu Ran couldn't help but remain silent.
After all this time, it turned out that this child-like "evil god consciousness" was beaten up by him and had a trauma in his heart, so he wanted to go home to find his "mother" and didn't want to play outside anymore
He thought that this "evil god consciousness" had some strange tricks or conspiracies, so he was worried for a while.
"Why reject me... We are one... Don't reject me... Don't reject me..."
"... I found him... I tried to replace him... but he was horrible..."
"... I can't beat him... Let me go back to the group..."
"... Only a large group can defeat him..."
The tone of voice seemed as if he was about to cry.
Find me
Trying to replace me
Gu Ran, who was sensing the "message" from the "Core of the Evil God's Ark" outside the ruins, was stunned.
So the target was me
Why
What is my connection to the “great herd” of “deep water”
However, before Gu Ran could continue thinking about this matter, a loud angry rebuke reached his ears.
"Gu Ran, you are here for my mother! Don't even think about using my mother to threaten me or the mermaid tribe!"
Ariel appeared in the sea and glared at Gu Ran angrily.
Gu Ran tilted his head and looked over.
Teleport
Gu Ran knew that the mermaids also possessed teleportation skills.
Because the little snail used the teleportation skill to escape the capture of the giant shark bounty hunter team and teleported to that valley.
And Little Snail's grandmother had also demonstrated this ability.
This skill of the mermaids can only be used for teleportation within water, and there may be limitations that he is not aware of.
It seems that Ariel mistakenly thought that he wanted to harm her mother, so she used the teleportation skill to quickly rush to the Sea Eye ruins.
Then, “as expected”, I saw him here.
"Gu Ran? Ariel, are you saying Gu Ran is here!?"
An excited and sharp voice suddenly came from the sea eye ruins.
"Kill him! Ariel!"
"You must kill him!!!"
"Only by killing him can the mermaid tribe be revived!!!"
Gu Ran frowned slightly. The sound was as sharp and harsh as a cat scratching glass.
It seems that years of "imprisonment" have made Ariel's mother's temper extremely bad, and her entire temperament has completely changed, which is far from when he rescued her.
"Gu Ran, you have trapped my mother for so many years, are you finally going to kill her now?!"
The "Heart of the Ocean" necklace on Ariel's fair chest shone brightly.
"I won't let you succeed!"
+
217. The underground "deep water" and "large group" desire for Gu Ran! 4k
Ariel was really furious.
If reviving the mermaid tribe was her top priority, then her mother's condition was her second concern.
For so long, she had thought about rescuing her mother.
The ruins were sealed off by Gu Ran, and outsiders could not enter through normal means.
But with her current strength, she can actually destroy the ruins.
But the condition of the ruins is very delicate now.
If she destroyed the ruins, they would begin to self-destruct, and the mother inside would be in danger.
Because her mother was too weak to resist such self-destruction, she was very cautious.
