The high priest walked step by step in the empty temple with his cane, and I followed him step by step. The mermaids around me all sat up from their clam shells, swaying their gorgeous fish tails, and looked curiously at the mermaids in transformation suits.

I.

The most conspicuous thing at the top of the temple is a golden chair, which should be made of pure gold. It is hollowed out and carved with many complicated patterns and decorated with various jewelry. In this temple, it is no less shining than the etheric crystal. Next to it,

Slightly lower position,

There was a smaller chair, also made of pure gold, but the decoration was a little plainer compared to the chair in the middle. The old priest climbed up the steps step by step, and also asked me to follow him up, and the mermaids were all whispering.

Gestures should be used to communicate.

I walked up to the high priest, and he took my hand and pushed me onto the chair in the middle! In an instant, the mermaids in the hall were boiling! Every one of them swam out of their clam shells, and they kept gesticulating with their hands.

Yes, it's a pity that I can't understand their sign language.

"This...this should be your seat. I'm new here, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to sit here..."

The gorgeous-looking chair was uncomfortable to sit on, hard and stiff, and the expressions of the mermaids with different looks in the hall were clearly visible from my perspective. My sixth sense told me that not all of them were

The mermaids all welcomed my arrival, and more mermaids had expressions of suspicion or even hatred on their faces.

"No, this chair has always belonged to the people in the early Yuan Dynasty. Mine is next to it." The high priest bowed slightly, retreated to the small chair next to him and sat down.

"Prepare some food for the Yuanchu people."

The high priest gave orders to the mermaids in the hall. One of them swam forward and made emotional gestures, "Communicate through voice. People in the early Yuan Dynasty couldn't understand these gestures."

Then, a loud man's voice spread in the hall. This was actually a merman?!

"Have the people from the early Yuan Dynasty really returned to Atlan? Why are they wearing transformation suits? How can we believe that this is the people from the early Yuan Dynasty without showing their true identity?"

"The humans in the early Yuan Dynasty have not yet fully awakened, so they need transformation suits to protect their bodies."

As soon as the high priest said this, the mermaids below became even more excited... They gestured quickly and their expressions were very angry...

"Please take off your transformation clothes in the early Yuan Dynasty and let us salute you!" the merman who had spoken before bowed his head and saluted, and the other merman people behind him also saluted.

"Please come to the Yuan Dynasty to express your condolences and take off your transformation clothes so that we can pay our respects!"

Their pleas had no sincerity at all, but sounded like threats and commands. I was really afraid that if I refused, the next second they would swing their huge tails and slap me to death together...

I looked at the high priest, but he was only stroking his beard and didn't pay any attention to the mermaids in the hall.

"Come on, Yuanchu people, how about you take off your transformation clothes?" the high priest said quietly.

I thought the high priest would speak for me, but it turned out that he was singing and playing a double act for me with the mermaids in the audience! Wouldn’t this cost me my life?! I couldn’t survive five minutes at the bottom of the sea if I took this off.

I already told the high priest that I don't know how to drink water, why would he say such a thing again...

A chill surged from the bottom of my heart, which was worse than the water in the deep sea. It made me feel as if I was a fish. Now, through the helmet, I could see the long pointed nails and jagged teeth of the mermaids... beautiful

The fish tail is always deceptive, hiding the terrible aggression of the mermaid. I just don't understand that they could have killed me when I first entered the water, but they have been dragging me here until now.

Find such a poor excuse to silence me.

"Don't worry, people of the early Yuan Dynasty. This temple was built for people of the early Yuan Dynasty. You have also seen that the sea area inside the temple is different from that outside the temple. The mermaids can only swim on the ground, so

You can feel free to take off your transformation clothes." The high priest also stood up, bowed his head and saluted me, "You go up and help the Yuanchu people take off their equipment."

Those mermaids could no longer hold back any longer. They jumped to my feet and opened the buckles at the joints. Clear liquid flowed out from the buckles and mixed into the endless sea water in an instant. As the transformation suits were all removed,

, I feel top-heavy and stand upside down on the chair. My fingertips feel numb and painful. I know that the pressure is at work. Maybe my capillaries have burst...

The last thing is the helmet. The sharp nails of the mermaid scratched my skin. Under the stimulation of the sea water, the pain of the wound was transmitted to my brain, making my consciousness clearer. With a "click", the buckle opened and the two mermaids worked together to remove it.

After taking off my helmet, the pressure around me was like countless

The hammer was hitting my head, and the blue water in front of me turned crimson... The last feeling in my consciousness was that the top of my head made that clanking sound when metal was struck, like my flesh and blood.

The last cry of unwillingness in the face of irresistible pressure.

There was no struggle, no pain. After all the feelings disappeared, I wandered in the sea water, my limbs were extremely light. The sea water was no longer cold, and it enveloped my whole body tenderly. I was no longer afraid of this long-standing familiar feeling.

Where does the sense of security come from?

Where does this thumping drum sound come from?

A beam of light penetrated the sea surface and was cut into millions of lights. I was in the center of the light, watching the Tyndall effect in the sea water showing me the way to the top.

"Hey! They really look like people from the early Yuan Dynasty without fish tails!"

"These are not people from the early Yuan Dynasty. I think it looks like those humanoids from the lower dimensions crossed the dimension by chance. How come the real people from the early Yuan Dynasty can't even enter the sea water?"

"Maybe? He's not really dead, is he?"

The mermaids around were discussing that they could communicate without making any complicated gestures at all. The reason why they did that before was just to guard against me.

At this time, I felt an unprecedented peace in my heart. I could not feel the restlessness when the blood in my body was flowing, and I no longer felt fear or anxiety. The stable stone gradually brought all my consciousness that had been scattered around deeper and deeper.

Pulling each other together, the upside-down world in front of us slowly became right.

"Yuan... Yuanchu people..." The high priest's voice was trembling.

I stood on the golden chair and slowly sat cross-legged without saying a word.

The high priest immediately withdrew to the hall and saluted me along with the mermaids, "In the early Yuan Dynasty, a spirit appeared! A spirit appeared in the early Yuan Dynasty!"

They shouted several times, but when I still didn't respond, "Go and prepare food for the Yuanchu people!"

"No." I opened my palm and raised it gently, and the ether crystal in the temple left the ground, and a light pillar was connected with my palm. A steady stream of pure energy followed the light pillar and poured into me.

Gradually, my body became full. I closed my eyes and felt the changes in my body. The capillaries with damaged ends were replenished.
