Late at night, on a remote coast of Xiali Island, Shen Ling slowly took off his shoes and threw them aside, stepping barefoot on the fine white sand and walking into the shallow sea.

Ash stood far behind Shen Ling with Chubby, a pair of lilac vertical pupils silently watching Shen Ling's every move.

"Hold your breath and feel the changes in your body."

Shen Ling's excited mood gradually calmed down with his calm words, and he closed his eyes and quietly experienced the changes in his body.

In the darkness, he could feel that a powerful energy was rapidly gathering in the place where the soul power echoes were condensed in his body, and a drieving egg with a faint red light that was sleeping in his soul power echoes was also violently trembling violently by the impact of the force.

Shen Ling didn't notice the abnormality of this egg, he didn't even sense that there was such an egg hidden in his soul power echo.

Powerful energy constantly filled every cell of his body, washing his limbs and bones, making his body scorching hot. When his entire body was submerged in the cool water, the burning sensation was slightly relieved.

The body sank into the ocean, Shen Ling did not have the slightest fear, on the contrary, he was very excited at this moment. He felt warmth and belonging in the water.

He stretched out his hands and feet, he didn't know the nature of water, he shuttled freely in the water like a dexterous fish, his soul seemed to be one with the ocean, he didn't need to open his eyes, he could see everything under the sea.

Unconsciously, his legs together gradually merged into one, turning into a silver fishtail, and silver-white fleshy wings stretched out from his back, gently flapping against the sea. The clothes on his body had been shattered into a mess by the sea because of his change.

He flicked his fishtail vigorously, instilling the power in his body into the ocean. The sea became agitated by the rush of his power, and the fish were disturbed and fled in all directions. Shen Ling swam towards the surface of the sea like a long arrow off the string, and when he was about to get close to the sea, he suddenly jumped upward, stretched out his silver wings, and struggled to fly into the sky.

Chubby and Gray on the shore looked up at Shen Ling who was flying with wings spread, and Chubby squeaked excitedly and stumbled in place for a long time.

Is that the master! The host is so beautiful, isn't there! (⊙o⊙)

Seeing such a beautiful mermaid, the gray cat's face couldn't help but show pride. It rumored to Shen Ling, "You have awakened, according to the agreement, I should become your soul beast now."

Shen Ling lowered his head to look in the direction of Ash, he swept low across the sea and flew in front of Ash.

"Ash, I told you about it. I already have a natal soul beast, if you become my soul beast, then you can only become a subsidiary soul beast, which is not fair to you."

"As long as you don't abandon me, there is no difference between a natal soul beast and a subordinate soul beast to me." "When my former master is gone, my life should have come to an end. But in order to fulfill my master's dying wishes, I had to persevere in surviving. I've lived too long, even if I don't become your soul beast, in two years, I will die naturally. Don't hesitate to accept me."

Shen Ling looked at the ashes in silence, and then said sincerely, "In the past three years, you have taught me a lot, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how to use soul power, and I wouldn't have awakened the power of the bloodline so smoothly. I swear, after you become my soul beast, I will only have you as a subordinate soul beast in my life."

Ash nodded in satisfaction and began to withdraw his soul from his body.

The big cat closed its lilac eyes and fell to the sand with a "bang". The silver-white soul leaped out of the fallen body and entered his body from the half-suspended mermaid's eyebrows, it found its place where the primary soul power echo pattern had condensed in Shen Ling's body, and slowly integrated itself into this echo pattern.

The process of Ash becoming Shen Ling's soul beast was so quiet that it seemed as if nothing had happened at all, and Shen Ling didn't feel much of it, but after Ash's soul was completely integrated into the echo in his body, he felt the energy from Ash.

His mind moved, and he disappeared in place.

Xiao Fat, who had been staring at his master and wanted to climb onto his master, but the master refused to land, watched Shen Ling disappear out of thin air like this, and was so anxious that he kept spinning in place, squeaking and screaming.

"You've gained my power." With Shen Ling's permission, ash jumped out of Shen Ling's body, and his soul body was suspended in mid-air.

"Magical powers." Shen Ling sighed, he appeared and fell to the ground, picking up the anxious little fat.

Ash turned his head and looked out at the endless sea. "Shen Ling, you once asked me who my master was and where his remains were. I didn't tell you before, because you didn't have the ability to find what my master left behind, but now that your first-stage bloodline power has awakened, and I have become your soul beast, let me take you to the bottom of the mermaid sea to have a look."

"Under the sea?" Shen Ling suddenly became excited, and he remembered the secret he had heard Celia say about the bottom of the Mermaid Sea.

No amount of high-tech equipment can capture the underwater scene of the mermaid sea, and humans cannot dive to the bottom of the sea to see the secrets of the seabed. Celia once said that it was because the mermaid used magic to hide all the qiē.

What kind of thing is hidden at the bottom of the ocean that deserves such a great deal of trouble for a mermaid? Could it be that there are still his people at the bottom of the sea?

Shen Ling put the little fat on the ground, told it not to run around, and jumped into the sea with the ashes.

Ash returned to Shen Ling's body, directing him to swim farther and deeper into the sea.

Shen Ling, who was in the form of a mermaid, swam very fast in the seawater, and it didn't take long for him to enter the legendary black underwater realm.

"I've been here with my master before, and if it weren't for the merfolk or the merfolk leading the way, no one would have been able to break through this dark water." Ash said, "That was a long time ago, when merfolk were few in number, but they weren't extinct. Even this underwater city, which was just a mermaid to get up close and personal with humans, has hundreds of mermaids living here."

"But unlike you, they don't have wings. In the merfolk race, the wingless mermaid can only be regarded as the lowest mermaid, and they are not even qualified to enter the mermaid clan."

"Ash, do you know why the merfolk suddenly disappeared?" Shen Ling asked.

"The merfolk's disappearance seemed to happen suddenly, first the winged merfolk disappeared, and then the wingless merfolk began to age at an accelerated rate, and one after another died. If you really want to know the answer, I'm afraid you can only go back to the merfolk land and enter the merfolk temple."

"How do I enter the Merfolk Temple?"

"I don't know." Ash sighed and said, "Back then, in order to solve the secret of the mermaid's disappearance, my master went to the merfolk land many times, trying to forcibly break into the temple. But how could the merfolk temple be broken into so easily, that ladder is just the simplest defense, and inside, there are more terrible mechanisms, and even my master can barely escape from them."

It turns out that there is such a dangerous storage zài. Shen Ling thought, but if he didn't go there, then he probably wouldn't be able to find his clansmen in his life. He vaguely remembered the last time he was on the ladder of the mermaid land, he seemed to hear the sound of two women arguing, but he couldn't remember anything about it.

According to Ash's instructions, Shen Ling relied on his intuition and didn't know how long he swam, and suddenly Shen Ling swam out of the dark sea and saw the world hidden under the dark sea water.

There was a small city hidden under the dark water, and at first glance it was a kind of circular building made of stone, which seemed to be a house used by mermaids to live, and the glass and doors were made of unknown materials, and they were very strong. Wiped the seaweed and mud off the glass, Shen Ling looked into the house, and could see that the decoration and equipment in the room were actually very advanced, and there was even a humanoid nanny machine in it.

"The level of technology of merfolk is very high." Ash explained to Shen Ling, "They are very good at imitating and learning from humans, and then transforming human technology into technology that is suitable for their use. Don't linger any longer, go to the temple, what my master left behind is in the temple of Lord Poseidon."

Shen Ling put away his thoughts and swam in the direction guided by Ash.

Along the way, he found that the mermaid city had a scientific urban division like the human city, and he also saw the mermaid's shopping street and school, as long as he closed his eyes, he could imagine that there were once a lot of mermaids living happily in this sea area, but he didn't know what happened to lead to the disappearance of the mermaid clan. Today's empty city has an indescribable sense of loneliness and loneliness.

Shen Ling and Ash came to the Seagod Temple, which was a little far away from the main city.

Compared to the Beast God Temple that Shen Ling had seen on the D13 planet, the Seagod Temple looked much simpler.

There is only one main hall in the Poseidon Temple, and when you walk in, you can see the statue of the Poseidon placed on the inside of the temple.

The Merfolk worship the Poseidon as a female mermaid with a maternal radiance, who stands on the inside of the temple with her wings stretched out, her upper body □□, and a trident in her hand. Unlike the statue of the beast god, her facial features are very finely carved, and she has a beautiful face that is gentle and proud, but it is a pity that the sapphire used to decorate her eyes is missing.

"Her eyes are the relics left behind by my master, and it's a space storage device." Ash said to Shen Ling, "Go and take it off."
