Chapter 880 The Mermaid's Worries! Friend!

Mermaid let out a breath.

Streams of water droplets, following its breath, condensed above the Heart of Water and then moved to the Heart of the Forest.

Within the dense water clouds, abundant water energy irrigates the equally abundant wood energy below.

The entire Heart of All Spirits is already used to this kind of rain.

The rain that enveloped the heart of the forest, along with the dense concentration of water elemental energy, was a unique sight in the heart of all spirits.

In the corner where the rain was pouring down, countless wood-type pets were also welcoming the rain. The survival of plant-type pets cannot escape the nourishment of water. After all, in the theory of the five elements, water nourishes wood, which is the most basic element.

Under the influence of these two energies, the Mermaid, who was the instigator, was also bathed in them.

The rich wood elemental energy made her feel comfortable after absorbing it. Although it didn't blend as well as the water elemental energy, she had been in the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits for so long and had searched for the 'Big Red' so many times that she had naturally gotten used to it all.

It could sense that its soul had recovered considerably under the constant 'soul compression' of the giant red dragon.

Although it is far inferior to its peak period, and its soul power is much weaker.

However, at that time, at the peak of her life, the Mermaid's soul was not her own; it was the Water Lord's soul, a fragment of the Water Lord's original soul.

Therefore, its self-awareness will never recognize that it is itself, that it is its own soul origin.

On the contrary, after this split, after being completely separated from the Water Venerable, the soul essence it condensed through Su Ping, its entire life essence, is what truly belongs to it.

Being able to be herself is the deepest thought hidden within Samehime after she developed self-awareness.

It didn't even dare to utter such thoughts, because in the combined state, its thoughts would become the Water Lord's thoughts, and who knows what would happen if the Water Lord found out.

However, during this time, Samehime actually had a question.

Judging from this posture, the Water Venerable clearly knew its situation, and even knew that it was inside the Heart of All Spirits, serving Su Ping.

Of course, the so-called effectiveness is actually just occasionally gathering water dew and rainwater with abundant energy for Lin Zhixin's many plant-type pets. This amount of work is a complete waste of a legendary water-type being.

However, it also liked it very much.

The reason is simple: here, it doesn't need to do anything it doesn't want to do, such as searching for the Flame Lord's clone or controlling those water-type pets.

Those things mean nothing to it.

On the contrary, it prefers this simple and ordinary life.

Therefore, Mermaid was extremely worried, even fearful, about the Water Lord's posture.

However, when the message from the Water God arrived, there was nothing else but an announcement that it and Su Ping would be going to the Endless Sea to participate in the so-called Sea God Ceremony a few months later.

There is no description of its current situation.

This filled Mermaid with an inexplicable sense of worry.

If the other party had actually conveyed something in the letter, such as insisting on its re-fusion with the Water God, or personally killing the traitor, then the Mermaid would have been somewhat prepared and even calmed down, instead of being as anxious and uncertain as she is now.

However, the message from the Water God seemed to show no concern for its betrayal, which left the Mermaid, who felt she had done something wrong, truly at a loss.

I've been feeling anxious and uncertain about this all this time.

Until the wood-elemental energy below soared into the sky.

"Crash..."

The ancient tree of life, bearing the brunt of the impact, swayed rapidly. Clearly, such abundant rainwater with its rich water energy had both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage was that only a small amount needed to be absorbed, while the disadvantage was that consuming too much would cause one to feel bloated.

That's right. Normally speaking, given Lin Zhixin's situation, these plant-type pets, which aren't particularly high-grade, would be able to survive and develop for a whole day with just ten minutes of this high-energy rain.

Now, after twenty minutes of landing, it's getting a bit too much.

The Mermaid then came to her senses and winked helplessly at the Ancient Tree of Life:

"Sorry, I was thinking about something..."

The ancient tree of life remained silent. Its grade had now reached the Emperor level. Although it was not the most powerful plant-type pet in the Heart of the Forest, it was still very senior and highly valued by Su Ping.

Fortunately, there were other pets around.

Old Sha shook the water droplets off his golden fur, then suddenly soared into the sky. The dazzling sunlight broke through the remaining clouds of the water system, and the sunlight fell evenly on every plant in the heart of the forest.

Instantly, all the plant-type pets that had just been drenched like drowned rats were rejuvenated and full of new life.

"Senior has been quite careless lately. Is it because the activation of the Great Crimson Soul Compression malfunctioned, causing problems with your soul consciousness?"

A voice sounded.

Old Sand, who had descended from the sky, let out a howl and nestled close to Su Ping. His enormous tail even began to wag at this moment, showing great affection.

Su Ping rubbed Old Sha's big head:

"Where's Grandpa? Haven't you been with it all this time?"

If, after her mother Rongqiu was resurrected, she spent a lot of time with Su Anyong, then the person the old man accompanied every day was Lao Sha.

It's rare to see a person and a dog not together.

Old Sha let out a howl, his eyes full of mockery and amusement.

Su Ping was taken aback, then said helplessly:
"He hasn't given up yet..."

That's right. Before, Su Chongguang was just a name that lived in Su Ping's memory, and he didn't really have any concept of him.

I don't understand their personality or temperament.

However, after his resurrection, Su Ping also noticed some of Su Chongguang's stubbornness.

The most prominent issue is the obsession with breeding pets.

Su Ping now understood why Wolf had acted as if he wanted to beat his grandfather up whenever he mentioned him. That stubborn temper was indeed hard to bear.

Previous fusions like the Heart of Elements are one thing, but the distance was too great.

With an elemental heart capable of fusing more than six elemental powers, he could easily become the next Zhu Hong, but the old man doesn't have that ability now.

So, during the Chinese New Year period, Su Zhongguang found himself something to do again.

That is to cultivate Old Sand and study Old Sand's evolution.

But the question is, what's Lao Sha's situation now?
That's a race that can directly reach the legendary level, a true Holy Spirit level existence.

Moreover, although Old Sha doesn't have mythical-level skills, he's definitely not far behind.

With the absolute fusion of solar power, Su Ping could sense that Lao Sha's situation was somewhat similar to Qian Yi's back then. He only lacked the promotion of the corresponding energy body, plus a little bit of comprehension, and he would have a chance to achieve the same result.

It's not that Su Ping looks down on his grandfather, but given the defective state of the Heart of Wood potion back then, it's unrealistic to even think about training Old Sha, let alone nurturing him.

Shaking his head speechlessly, Su Ping was too lazy to pay attention to the old man who was creating trouble for himself.

After all, the other party really had nothing to do.

Su Ping finally turned his gaze back to Mermaid, who looked at him apologetically after hearing what Su Ping had just said.

"Su Ping, I'm sorry, I've been feeling a bit confused lately... It has nothing to do with Da Hong..."

Su Ping nodded, then patted Old Sha's big head, and his spiritual energy rippled out:

"Is it about the sea god ritual for that water deity?"

Mermaid nodded:

"I don't know what the real entity is thinking. In fact, I could accept it if it came to me directly. But the fact that it's been so quiet and silent has made me feel uneasy. I always feel like it's hiding something..."

Su Ping smiled, unconcerned, and casually said:

"What can be hidden? At most, it's the worst possible outcome: that the Water Venerable actually sensed it the moment your self-awareness was separated."

Furthermore, the very act of separating you after your resurrection and sending you into the Dragon Kingdom to search for news of the Flame Lord was part of their scheme.

Upon hearing this, Mermaid froze on the spot: "How is this possible? My self-awareness..."

It stopped speaking halfway through its sentence, just as it had said, no one understood the entity better than it. And no one understood the entity's ways of doing things better than it.

Although they all originated from the same soul, the intelligence and consciousness that subsequently arose from them differed from it.

After a pause, Su Ping continued:
"So, the worst outcome is that all of this is part of the Water Lord's plan, or even that, in essence, it is because of the birth of your split consciousness that the Water Lord is unable to go any further to become the Sea God."

Unable to advance further to the so-called mythical level, unable to fully master the skills of the foundation of mythology, it had long planned to send you away, and even secretly let you find the method of soul division, completely severing ties with you.

Then, under such circumstances, you will achieve complete mastery of that power, which is what you mentioned before, the Eye of the Sea God... and become this so-called Sea God.

Of course, in a worse scenario, perhaps you still have some use, and it might need your help to become the Sea God. Or perhaps, sending you here is merely a pretext to swallow the Sea God back after fully mastering its power.

The more Su Ping spoke, the paler Jiao Ji's face became.

Even a hint of fear appeared in the eyes of this legendary figure, causing her long, light blue hair to droop slightly.

It's clear that although the Mermaid has separated from her original body, she still harbors fear towards the Water Lord's true form.

And that couldn't be better.

Su Ping smiled, meeting the somewhat bewildered gaze of the Mermaid:

"Don't worry, these are all just my guesses! Besides, if that so-called sea god can become one, why can't you? Even if you can't, with me here, as long as you're in the Heart of All Spirits, nothing will happen!"

Putting everything else aside, Fatty, who has now advanced to the legendary level, is always on the side of the Heart of All Spirits, so Su Ping can detect any situation immediately.

Upon hearing this, the way the Mermaid looked at Su Ping changed somewhat:

"Mr. Su, thank you so much for your help. I never imagined that in the end, you would be the one to help me the most..."

Its words were extremely sincere, and Su Ping felt that even if he really got the other party to sign a contract with him, there seemed to be no problem.
However, he was only thinking about it. Relatively speaking, Su Ping still preferred the ones he had nurtured from childhood to adulthood. Of course, Spring God was an exception. Besides, in a sense, when Spring God was just a Jade Demon Spring Ginseng in the beginning, wasn't it also something he had nurtured from childhood to adulthood?
Su Ping paused, then blinked:

"Senior, you have helped me a lot, and we can be considered friends. From the perspective of a friend, I want to ask you a question: Do you really want this Water Venerable to always have the upper hand? Don't you want to fight for it yourself?"

Upon hearing this, the mermaid in front of it was stunned. In its view, being able to break free from the control of the main body was already a victory. As for being an enemy of the main body, or even anything else, it had never thought about it.

However, Su Ping's use of the word "friend" seemed to solidify the Jiao Ji's gaze:

"Do you have any idea?"

Obviously, Su Ping wouldn't come here to chat nonsense if he had no other options.

She might not know about the other mermaids, but she knew perfectly well just how busy this young man was on a daily basis.

He would never have come to me without specific preparation.

Su Ping nodded, and the next moment, the Elemental Divine Seal reappeared on his forehead. The colorful swirling pattern resembled a sun radiating countless elemental energies.

However, the next second, this so-called sun became a pure ocean whirlpool.

Within this, the Mermaid could even clearly sense the strange yet powerful water-based energy.

"This is……"

Clearly, Su Ping saw no need to explain the thing to him; he simply smiled faintly.
"Senior, please prepare yourself. In the next few months, I will equip you with the skills and abilities to rival the true form of that Water Venerable!"

Facing the confident young man before her, the Mermaid was immediately impressed. She paused for a moment, then said:

"Just call me Mermaid. As you said, Su Ping, we are friends!"
