The force was so great that Ludwig couldn't open his eyes, and he took a step back, because he was standing closer to the edge of the roof, and he stepped into the air and almost fell. Ludwig stood firmly, the powerful man surrounded by golden light snorted coldly at him, and with a wave of his long sleeves, countless thin golden threads appeared out of thin air around Ludwig's side, and the golden threads quickly contracted, trapping Ludwig in it.

Ludwig's eyes narrowed slightly, and when the golden thread was about to trap him to death, he turned into a blazing flame, burning the golden thread into ashes, and he himself took the opportunity to run down from the roof into the house.

Ludwig hadn't seen the man in the golden robe, but he had already guessed his identity.

If the golden-robed man was really the person he guessed, then he and Shen Ling would be in danger at the moment. This person is definitely not an existence that he and Shen Ling can fight against, he can only find a way to take Shen Ling away and escape here with him.

In the bedroom, Shen Ling had already woken up with a strange feeling.

He and Ludwig looked at each other, and before Ludwig could say anything, he guessed that the enemy was coming.

Shen Ling still vividly remembers the siege of Ludwig, and even if he has lived comfortably in the past three years, he never dares to forget those who want to harm Ludwig and him. After all, they were now in a very dangerous Otherworld, and there were so many people eyeing them, and there was even a Lord God-level enemy that they couldn't match at all.

Now what can make Ludwig show such a nervous look, except for the main god-level enemy, Shen Ling can't think of who it is.

"Get out of here."

Shen Ling nodded, but before the two of them took a step, the golden light had already enveloped them, and the arrogant laughter of the Lord God continued to echo in their ears.

"Want to escape? Dream! ”

Ludwig grabbed Shen Ling's hand and led him out of the house, passing through the golden light without any hindrance, but when they were enveloped in the golden light, a terrible cold penetrated their bodies from their skin and spread across their limbs.

Ludwig let out a low roar and immediately transformed into a dragon, a pair of tough wings "brushed" behind his back, he soared into the air, grabbed Shen Ling's shoulder with his claws, and immediately took him to fly in the opposite direction of the feather god standing.

Yu Shen snorted coldly, and with a wave of his right hand, the golden points of light immediately transformed into countless golden long swords and flew towards Ludwig and Shen Ling. It's just that just as the golden long sword was about to touch the two of them, a blue light suddenly crossed Ludwig and Shen Ling's side, turning into a shield and bouncing off the golden long sword.

The sudden change surprised all three people present, and in the next second, the sea god appeared out of thin air and blocked the feather god.

"Did you ask me what I mean by the waiter who wants to kill me?"

Feather's handsome face wrinkled, and he looked at the sea god with resentment and helplessness, and finally he gritted his teeth and turned into a ball of golden light and left.

Poseidon took Ludwig and Shen Ling to his underwater temple, and Shen Ling saw the egg coming out of his stomach for the first time. The egg was wrapped in a cloud of blue magic, and Shen Ling could only see a vague shadow outside.

Thinking that this egg came out of his stomach, and that it was born after all, he was born by the union of himself and Ludwig, Shen Ling had a wonderful feeling of entanglement in his heart when he looked at it. He found it warm to look at, but he also found it difficult to accept its presence.

In the end, Shen Ling sighed helplessly, no matter what kind of existence this egg would hatch in the future, it was his child after all. It's just that this child is destined not to belong to him, and the sea god is indeed the best person to be able to raise this child.

To be able to spend so much effort and create so many incredible miracles, but just to let this child be born, what kind of extreme feelings does the sea god have for this child.

Shen Ling didn't dare to imagine.

Poseidon took Ludwig and Shen Ling to the space he had created to go to the New Galactic Empire, and Shen Ling took advantage of the last bit of time to explain the plight of the merfolk in the New Galactic Empire. Poseidon thought for a moment and said with a smile: "In order to trap the enemy, they chose the way to die together. The sea god took out a blue ring from the void and handed it to Shen Ling. I can save them with this ring, but this is my last protection for you. ”

Shen Ling didn't understand what the sea god meant, but he didn't ask too much, under the guidance of the sea god, he couldn't wait to walk into the space door with Ludwig.

As it literally says, a door is made of an unknown number of gemstones. When the door opened, there was a dark blue vortex that was almost black, and in the vortex, there were silver points of light that shimmered like stars.

After entering the door of the space, Shen Ling felt that his body was light, and he continued to rotate with the blue vortex.

It didn't take long for him and Ludwig to return to the castle carved out of ice crystals. Before Shen Ling and Ludwig could be happy about their return, they were shocked by the sight in front of them—charred skeletons on the transparent ice crystal floor and blood stains that had long since dried up and stuck to the ground.

Just by looking at it, Shen Ling knew that most of the skeletons here were human skeletons, and if he looked closely, he could also find that there were two or three skeletons belonging to mermaids mixed in human bones.

Shen Ling and Ludwig glanced at each other, and the two of them invariably remembered the battle that day when they were tricked to this place by the female mermaid. After being teleported to the Divine Domain, the two of them thought that the battle was nothing more than a trick set up by the merfolk to lure them in. But the scene at this time seemed to tell them that the battle had existed, but it had existed for a while, definitely for a while.

Shen Ling wasn't sure if it was because he and Ludwig had left the New Galactic Empire for too long, or because the battle itself had happened a long time ago, and all they had seen before was that the mermaid had taken out the illusion of that battle for them to see.

Shen Ling was afraid that he had left the New Galactic Empire for too long, and he was afraid that things would be wrong, so he anxiously left this crystal palace and ran into the snow outside.

It was still the same place as before they left, it was a snowy world, there was no sound, and the silence was so quiet that Shen Ling was afraid.

Ludwig could understand Shen Ling's feelings, and at this time he was as scared as Shen Ling.

Suddenly, he saw an afterimage flickering in front of him, Ludwig narrowed his eyes slightly, but reached out and grabbed the direction of the afterimage that the afterimage had fled, and the afterimage that wanted to escape had already been caught in his hand.

It is the soul of a male mermaid, not very old, the face is very immature, but the eyes give people a strange feeling of aging.

Please, let me go. The mermaid was caught and begged for mercy.

Shen Ling was surprised at first when he saw the soul body of this mermaid, and suddenly he remembered something, looked at Ludwig in surprise, and asked in disbelief, "Can you see him?" "Not only can you see it, but you can even grab this soul body with just one hand?

Ludwig didn't understand what Shen Ling was surprised about, they had even been to such an unbelievable place in the Divine Domain, it stands to reason that this mermaid that looked a little lighter and a little strange at the moment should not make Shen Ling fussed.

When did Xiaolu become so powerful? Phoenix also asked in surprise.

"Can you hear him, then?" Shen Ling asked.

"Yes, is there a problem?"

Of course there is a problem! Shen Ling gasped and called out the ash, making it stand in front of Ludwig.

"Can you see the ashes?"

"It's the ash you said?" Ludwig asked, confused. "Can I see it?"

Hello. Ash said hello to Ludwig.

"You...... Hello. Ludwig replied to him and looked at Shen Ling with incredible eyes.

"I don't know why, but I'll talk about that later, and there's more important things now." Shen Ling waved his hand, looked at the mermaid soul body that was captured by Ludwig, and said sharply, "What happened here, what about the other mermaids?" ”

I do not know...... The young mermaid snorted, and tears fell from her beautiful blue eyes, looking pitiful and lovable.

"If you don't tell the truth, you'll suffer." Originally, Shen Ling was full of yearning for the mermaid clan, but after being betrayed by the female mermaid, his favorability towards this race decreased sharply. Now for him, as long as he protects the people he wants to protect, even if it is a mermaid of the same clan as him, he doesn't have so much love.

Ludwig followed Shen Ling's instructions and prepared to burn the little mermaid's soul with flames, torture him a little, and force him to tell the truth, at this time, a soft girl sounded in vain-

Please don't hurt him.

Hearing this voice, Shen Ling's eyes turned cold.

It was a voice all too familiar to him, the one of the female mermaid who had tricked him and Ludwig into that world. He turned to look in the direction where the sound came from, and saw the female mermaid with a gorgeous face and golden wavy hair, followed by a dozen translucent mermaid souls.

We had no ill intent—the mermaid said, leading the mermaid souls to Shen Ling, and she took the lead in kneeling, and then the other merfolk knelt down one after another. She looked up, and the expression on her charming face was determined, the mermaid clan had encountered the disaster of extinction, and the only way to offer the gift that the god wanted was ...... By offering to Him, we can regain God's protection... We are forced to send you to that world.

Shen Ling could understand the meaning of the mermaid, indeed, the mermaid clan seemed to be in a desperate situation, and the only one who had the ability to save them was the sea god who created them, and the sea god did not turn his back on them, leaving himself a ring that could save the mermaid clan. But he could not accept the female mermaid's approach. If the merfolk were willing to take the time to explain to him, he would never shirk going to that world for the merfolk clan. After all, the mermaid clan is where he has dreamed since he was a child, and his mother, just for his mother, he will never say any words of prevarication.

The only remaining people of the merfolk are really selfish.

They used their trust and yearning for the merfolk to trick him into that world, and even dragged his lover into the water. And while doing this, they probably didn't think that he and Ludwig would come back alive......

"You must have thought that after Ludwig and I went to that world, we might never come back." Shen Ling asked coldly.

The mermaid's effeminate face showed an apologetic expression about this, and I hope you can hear me a story before I explain.

Shen Ling and Ludwig did not refuse, and the female mermaid told the secret about the disappearance of the mermaid clan over the years.

I don't know how many years ago, merfolk and humans lived together in this country. Merfolk are indifferent by nature and do not interfere in human affairs, and humans have also given the merfolk enough space and respect.

But at this moment, a strange and powerful force suddenly appeared in this empire, and this force was the invisible man.

The Invisible Ones possess great soul power, and even greater than their abilities is their greedy hearts. Unable to possess entities, the Invisible Man began to secretly encroach on human bodies. However, how can the human body compare to the body of a mermaid who was born to be strong, so the invisible man turned his target to the mermaid clan.

While the merfolk were not wary of the Invisible Ones, the strong men of the Invisible People all poured into the merfolk land and started a fierce battle with the mermaid clan. And at that time, as the strongest combat power of the mermaid clan and the greatest belief of the mermaid clan, the holy daughter of Elena was not in the mermaid clan, and the mermaid clan who were cornered had no choice but to release the last treasure left to them by the sea god back then, and the entire mermaid clan was frozen, and died with the invisible people.

Frozen does not harm merfolk and cannot kill the Invisible One. Just seal them all up and wait for the others to come here and undo the spell.

The merfolk were expecting their saint to come back to save them, and the saint Elena did return, but she couldn't undo the spell. Because unlocking the spell can't bring the soul of the mermaid back into the body.

Soul detachment is a forbidden technique, and mermaids can easily master this ability, but if they want to bring back the soul that has left the body, it is not a simple matter.

Unlike merfolk, invisible people are spirits themselves, and they are not afraid of souls leaving their bodies at all. If Elena unravels the spell, the Invisible Man will eventually escape from the Merfolk Land, and the Merfolk will have their souls trapped here for generations until the Merfolk Land is destroyed.

Originally, the merfolk and the invisible people were frozen in this place and there was nothing to do, but some time ago, a group of invisible people suddenly broke into the merfolk land and unlocked the seal of the mermaid land, and those sealed invisible people also took the opportunity to escape.

We have no other way, the Holy Maiden is gone, you are the child of Elena, the last hope of our people...... And it's not just for us merfolk, the invisible people have escaped from here, they are greedy and brutal, and the whole empire will be in turmoil because of them.

Shen Ling was silent for a long time, and it wasn't until Ludwig held his hand that he came back to his senses.

"Holy Elena, what's wrong with her?"

The female lowered her head and replied that I can't answer you, maybe you can see it with your own eyes.

……

On a hill behind this ice crystal castle, Shen Ling saw a temple that was dozens of times more majestic than this castle.

This temple has been tricked by mermaids, and ordinary people can easily not see it.

Shen Ling and Ludwig were led by the mermaid to a distance of more than ten meters outside this temple. They walked up a stone staircase towards the temple, and along the way, there were countless stone sculptures of mermaids.

These stone carvings are all the same mermaid, a beautiful and beautiful female mermaid.

Most of these stone carvings show this woman without a cold smile, but if you look closely, you can find that the expression of the woman on each stone sculpture is different. These stone carvings show a strong, gentle female mermaid in its entirety. In the back, there is also a stone sculpture of this female who is pregnant and then holds a baby in her arms.

Shen Ling looked at the stone sculpture of the female mermaid holding a baby for a long time, the female mermaid's expression looked so gentle, it was different from the expressions on all the stone carvings in front of her, the smile was so sweet, full of happiness and love were going to flow from that smile. Ludwig stood quietly beside Shen Ling and looked at him, then wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Shen Ling silently shook Ludwig's hand.

"Don't be afraid." Ludwig comforted, "I will be with you." ”

Shen Ling nodded and continued to walk into the stone palace.

Walking into the palace lobby, what appeared in vain was the tall statue of the god of the sea. Shen Ling just glanced at the statue, and then began to look for the figure of his parents, the solemn temple was full of stones for carving, as well as large and small mermaid sculptures that had been made, in the middle of the pile of sculptures, a crystal coffin was extremely conspicuous.

Shen Ling held Ludwig's hand and unconsciously tightened and walked over.

A man leaned against the crystal, his eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep, but his pale skin and lifeless face made Shen Ling understand that this man was dead. He still holds a carving knife in his right hand, and in his left hand he holds a small unfinished stone statue tightly.

Until the last moment, men were still carving stone statues of their beloved wives.

Shen Ling seemed to be able to see the appearance of a man carefully carving the stone statue in his hand in the lonely temple, with a smile on his face, piety and full of love.

Shen Ling's body trembled uncontrollably, he wanted to touch this man, but he didn't dare to touch it, he was afraid that as long as he touched it, everything would disappear.

He took a deep breath and walked past the man to the crystal coffin.

He had seen this face many times on the pages of books, on stone statues. He knew that the Holy Maiden Elena was a cold beauty, a heroine who played an important role in both the merfolk and the New Galactic Empire. But it wasn't until he stood in front of this person that he realized that the holy daughter Elena was just an ordinary woman, and her sleeping appearance was so kind and gentle.

Shen Ling knelt down in front of the crystal coffin and didn't say anything, just silently wept.

Behind him, Ludwig, Phoenix, Ash, and the mermaid who had brought them here all looked at him quietly.

The phoenix remembered what the old turtle had said, and the old turtle had told him that Shen Ling's mother was in a place that was very close to him and far away. The old tortoise was a wise man who would not lie to him, so what did he mean by that?

While the phoenix was still pondering, Shen Ling calmed down and asked in a crying voice, "Can you tell me, me, my parents, they... How they died. ”

Needless to say, Shen Ling's question was addressed to the mermaid. The female mermaid looked at Shen Ling, sighed, and replied that Elena sacrificed herself and brought a child back from hell. At the end of the point, the female mermaid knew that Shen Ling must have understood the meaning of her words.

The phoenix seemed to think of something, and suddenly said that she has always been by your side - the pure mermaid energy in your body is left by Yelena, and she has been protecting you-

Phoenix closed her mouth, not daring to say any more.

But countless voices sounded in Shen Ling's mind.

She has been protecting you, and you are her most beloved child in this world. She did not hesitate to use her life to bring you back into this world, and she did not hesitate to put the last trace of her soul into your body until all the energy was consumed, until she rescued you from danger again, and finally, the last trace of her soul energy was also exhausted.

You're alive and she's dead. 166 Reading Network
