The Sea Emperor, the supreme leader of the mermaid clan, has lasted for more than two thousand years.
Legend has it that after the First Emperor unified Liuhe, he continued to send people to visit Penglai Xianshan overseas. It was at that time that he discovered a mermaid living on the sea.
This wonderful creature with human body and fish tail was immediately regarded as a natural thing by humans. They all have graceful figures and beautiful faces. They not only have a moving voice, but also good at weaving shark silk worth a thousand gold. The tears they shed can also turn into pearls.
How can such a creation not attract human greed?
After the emperor learned about it, he was even more happy and ordered that all the mermaids be captured as a proof of his outstanding achievements. The mermaid tribe has now ushered in a catastrophe.
During the process of escape and resistance, the number of mermaids decreased sharply. In order to protect the ethnic group, under the recommendation of the mermaids, they chose a leader whom they hoped for, which was the first sea emperor.
Compared with the huge number of humans, mermaids are invincible after all. Under the leadership of the sea emperor, the mermaids left the near sea and looked for a new home in the vast vastness.
But although the ocean is large, not every place is suitable for mermaids to live. They drift along with the ocean currents until they found a huge sea eye in the deepest part of the South China Sea.
The sea eyes are thousands of feet deep and are surrounded by reefs and turbulent flows. Only mermaids with outstanding water quality can enter and exit freely.
In the sea eye, countless coral tortoiseshells, snails, clams, beads and shells grow in it, like thousands of stars dotted on the sky.
Just surrounded by stars, in the center of the sea eye is a temple.
temple?
Yes, Haiyuan's voice was light and light, as if recalling the magnificence of the temple, or to be precise, the ruins of the temple.
Why is there a ruin in a temple in a place where no creature should have ever set foot?
It is certain that with the power of human beings, it is absolutely impossible to enter the sea eye, so this can only be the remains left by the gods.
The mermaids worshiped this because they were afraid that the unknown god would not allow them to settle here. The Sea Emperor was willing to let him enter the ruins alone.
No one knew what was found inside. While everyone was anxiously waiting, the Sea Emperor finally returned safely and announced in public that the gods allowed them to stay here and would protect them.
The temple enshrined the artifacts left by the gods, and from then on, they were holy objects of the mermaid clan.
Such a holy object has since become the basis for mermaids to select the new sea emperor. The first sea emperor left his last words before his death. Only a mermaid who is recognized by the holy object can become a sea emperor.
Every child born on the day of his death will be selected as candidates for the Sea Emperor. They need to be sent to the temple to contact the holy relics. If the holy relics bring revelation, he will be crowned as the new Sea Emperor.
After becoming the Sea Emperor, the mermaid will abandon its past surname and be named the Sea surname, which is also the reason why Chaoyuan is now called Haiyuan.
The surname of the sea and the chart are the two major symbols of the sea emperor.
The sea chart is refined from the essence and blood of the previous generation of the Sea Emperor and is drawn on the new Sea Emperor with special secret techniques.
So in order to get the chart, the incumbent sea emperor must die.
I think you still remember the mermaid who attacked me that night.Seeing Yao Ji nodding, Haiyuan smiled faintly. Like me, he had been a candidate for the Sea Emperor, but unlike every previous candidate, when we came into contact with the holy relics, both of us were enlightened.
That was a rare thing that was still talked about by mermaids until more than three hundred years later.
Whether it was written records or heard about it, it was said that thousands of golden lights suddenly bloomed in the temple that day, and all the mermaids present were shocked because the little hands of two babies were placed on the holy object.
Both of them were recognized by the holy objects at the same time, and even the great elders of the Presbyterian Church could not make a decision, so Xunzhou and I were left in the Sea Royal Palace together. As the Sea Emperor, we were trained at the same time. After discussion, the Elders decided that after we became an adult, we would decide who would be the Sea Emperor based on the performance of both sides.As a result, you also know that the mermaid lowered her eyes and it was me who was selected.
So... Xunzhou was resentful and wanted to kill you to seize the position of the Sea Emperor?
Haiyuan shook his head: It's not like that. Xunzhou is just a puppet of the Presbyterian Church. He smiled, just like me in the past.
The reason why I was chased and had to run around was very simple. I touched something I shouldn't have touched.
What is that thing?Mermaid civilians think that it is a tradition and a habit. Mermaid nobles call it rules and laws, and the elders will know it well that it is actually a benefit.
But I think it should be called the truth most.
The truth is that Haiyuan was chosen not because he was more suitable to be the Sea Emperor, but because he was born in Chao. According to tacit rules, it was just the turn of Chao's children to be the Sea Emperor.
Originally, the Presbyterian Church had already arranged everything secretly. The lucky man from Chao would get divine enlightenment when he touched the holy objects, but they never expected that the real divine enlightenment would appear and it would be on the two people.
All the divine enlightenment and holy objects are false.
When the Sea Emperor made up lies more than two thousand years ago, he might just want to calm the hearts of his subjects, but this lie has been passed down from generation to generation and eventually became a tool for ordinary people to worship and nobles to use it to gain profits.
From more than two thousand years ago to the present, the mermaid tribe has given birth to eleven sea emperors, and each sea emperor has come from the four families of Chao, Xi, Xun and Cang.Can you imagine it?Yaoyao, the gods favored the four families so much, and refused to give the glory to others at all, even if it was only a little bit!The mermaid sneered. Compared to the human emperor's straightforward inheritance by relying on his bloodline, I really don't know whether they are more shameless or us are more despicable.
Yao Ji was speechless for a moment, silently holding Haiyuan's hand and shook it gently.
This action calmed the fish's anger a little. At the moment he learned the truth, he was even in pain and unacceptable. When he thought about it, only deep powerlessness remained.
Sometimes Haiyuan would think, maybe it is happiness to not know the truth.
Look at Xunzhou and look at those mermaids who are unaware of it. Whether it is civilians or nobles, they think there is nothing wrong with life now.
There are the commander of the Sea Emperor recognized by the gods, and the four major families that have protected the mermaid clan from generation to generation. Most of the mermaids are rare and have no desires and are in conflict with the world. Sometimes they can sing songs on the bottom of the sea for a night, even if they just pick up a pearl, they can make them happy all day.
But more than two thousand years have passed, and even if it is the sea eye, one day it will no longer protect us.
