The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

"Are you making fun of me? How could a human live that long? Considering the characteristics of the human race, living past one hundred and fifty years old is already a miracle. How could you live that long? And you still maintain the appearance of a young person?" the Mermaid Queen said with dissatisfaction, her long blue hair fluttering in the wind.

“I have no reason to lie to you,” the “Prophet” said calmly. “I haven’t kept this a secret, so many people among humans know that I have lived for three hundred years. It’s something that can be easily found out. Of course, you are a mermaid, so it’s not so easy to find out. But I have another way to prove it.”

"What method?" the Mermaid Queen asked curiously.

“Strength,” the “Prophet” said calmly.

The Mermaid Queen narrowed her eyes slightly: "You want to fight me?"

"No, there's no need for a fight; I can prove it directly."

The "Prophet" gently pointed to the distant ocean, and then the next moment, it was as if a portion of the seawater had been scooped away by a giant spoon, forming a lake in the sky. Although it was not as large as the Mermaid Queen's "Sky Sea," it was still about half its size.

And this was just the result of his casual pointing!

The "prophet" smiled and said, "This is a small ability I just developed. I call it telekinesis, and it's incredibly effective at isolating floods."

"Although it's not entirely without impact—the deathly stillness of the floodwaters will still erode my mental power—it's just a drop in the ocean compared to the total mental power I can use." With a gentle wave of his hand, the seawater that filled an entire lake fell from the sky.

“Psychic power... Interesting. Alright, you are qualified to speak with me.” The Mermaid Queen glanced over there and said indifferently.

......

"To seal the ocean's eye and stop it from wreaking havoc, the most important thing is to make the deep water within it docile. If the deep water is allowed to flow out, the ocean will spread endlessly. We must control the area of ​​the ocean so that the stagnation can slowly dissipate."

Somewhere in the ocean, the "Prophet" and the Mermaid Queen looked down from the sky, and he explained to his helper beside him.

The Mermaid Queen frowned slightly: "You mean this cataclysmic disaster is caused by the ocean?"

"Yes, but not entirely. The flood did originate from the nine vents in the ocean, but the eruption of these vents had other causes."

"what reason?"

The prophet was silent for a moment, then said, "Perhaps it's because of me."

"You?" The mermaid queen looked at the man beside her in surprise.

“It’s not that I look down on you, but the Sea Eye is not something that just anyone can influence.” The Mermaid Queen looked at the ocean. “If the Sea Eye really erupts because of you, then you can proudly call yourself a god. The Sea Eye is naturally generated by the rules of the world. No one can go into the Sea Eye to explore it. All those who have tried have never returned. Therefore, no one can grasp the laws of the Sea Eye, let alone influence it.”

The Prophet did not refute the Mermaid Queen's doubts. He said, "In any case, I do know how to calm the deep water. The reason why the deep water is so violent is that it is actually conscious. It is a whole underground. When it senses that there is another place for it to expand and grow, it will spread and grow wildly in that place. And the sea eye is the passage to the surface world given to it by the rules of the world."

The mermaid queen was horrified: "What are you saying?! Deep water has consciousness? Do you know what you're talking about? Isn't deep water inanimate? How could it possibly have consciousness?!"

Even with the shrewdness of the mermaid queen, it was difficult to remain calm; the more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

The world is suffering from an apocalyptic catastrophe, and now someone is telling her that the source of this catastrophe is actually a conscious being, some kind of life form?!

What a terrifying existence this is!

"Prophet": "Don't be hasty. Its consciousness is not quite what you think. Rather than consciousness, well, it's more like a kind of program. Its only consciousness is probably to constantly expand, reproduce, and grow. It will go wherever there is a hole and grow wherever there is space. As for other aspects, they are not within its simple consciousness."

Although the "prophet" reassured the mermaid queen, how could she possibly be at ease?!

The mermaid queen looked at the man before her again, feeling that he exuded mystery.

"Who are you? How do you know all this?"

The "prophet" gave a wry smile and said, "I am merely a passerby in an era trapped in a labyrinth and cycle."

The Mermaid Queen said, "This is not how you treat a partner."

“It’s not that I’m intentionally hiding it, but I can’t go any deeper. I don’t have much time left, and I can’t waste it recklessly.” The “Prophet” shook his head and said, “Anyway, you know that I have absolutely no ill will towards the merfolk and that I really can seal the sea eye.”

"Hmph, I'll keep a close eye on you," the Mermaid Queen snorted. "You cowardly human."

“Let’s continue. After all, you, the Mermaid Queen, don’t want to see your people stay in the sky forever, do you? Although mermaids in the sky sound romantic, if we let the floods continue, the sky will eventually become desolate and polluted.”

The prophet's words convinced the mermaid queen, and although she still had some doubts about the man, she did not interrupt him.

“You can think of deep water as some kind of tiny creature. Once they get a suitable environment, they will reproduce and grow without limit. Their collective consciousness is underground. Although it has a slight connection with the deep water on the surface, this connection is not very strong. As long as we sever this connection, the deep water on the surface will lose the guidance of its collective consciousness.”

"Without the guidance of a large group consciousness, it would take a very long time for the deep waters on the surface to regenerate a group consciousness. This time would be enough for us to solve the problem. Then we can simply follow the same method and build some sealing devices and facilities."

The "prophet" explained his method, and the mermaid queen thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

She asked, "So what should we do, and what do you need me to do?"

"It's very simple. Use your ability to part the ocean and expose the sea eye. Then I will use my telekinesis to instantly sever the connection between the sea eye and the surface. After that, I will build a highly isolated structure on top of the sea eye."

Mermaid Queen: "..."

After a moment of silence, she said, "You think this is so simple? Parting the ocean to expose the seabed's eye—do you know how deep the sea is? And even if you manage to part it, it will only be for a moment. Are you really not just making fun of me?"

The mermaid queen stopped referring to herself as "I" and expressed her dissatisfaction to the "prophet".

"I see. It seems I overestimated the abilities of the merfolk a little." The "Prophet" was somewhat embarrassed.

The Mermaid Queen raised an eyebrow and said in a chilling tone, "Human, are you provoking me, provoking the Mermaid race?"

"No, Your Majesty, please calm down. I really have no ill will towards the merfolk. It's just that one of my merfolk friends is so exceptionally strong that I mistakenly took her strength as the average strength of the merfolk queen."

"The prophet" explained.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this, to show my sincerity, I'll give the merfolk a portion of the reward for their help."

"This necklace is called the Heart of the Ocean. With it, you should be able to unleash greater power, and parting the sea should be a piece of cake." Suddenly, a spatial rift appeared next to the "Prophet," and a blue necklace floated out.

The Mermaid Queen took the Ocean Heart Necklace that flew over to her. As soon as she held it, she felt a very familiar feeling, as if the necklace was a part of her power.

Her eyes widened as she turned to look at the "prophet": "How could this necklace fit the merfolk so perfectly?"

"Feel the amplified power first, and see if you can separate the ocean now," the "Prophet" said with a faint smile.

"My power..." The Mermaid Queen waved her hand towards the distant ocean.

The once deep sea suddenly appeared as if it had been cut in two.

As the ocean divides, the seabed is gradually exposed.

"My strength has almost doubled, especially my control over the sea, which has quadrupled. Now I can do it with ease." The Mermaid Queen's eyes revealed surprise and disbelief.

He didn't even care who the merman friend was who questioned the "prophet".

"Now it belongs to the merfolk," came the voice of the "prophet."

The Mermaid Queen's expression immediately turned wary: "You're giving me this necklace? This necklace is an absolute treasure. Why are you giving me something so precious? And where did you get this necklace? Why do I feel like it originally belonged to the Mermaids?"

"The Prophet": "It truly did belong to the Merfolk, so this can be considered a return to its rightful owner. As for a token of gratitude to the Merfolk, I have something else to offer."

The Mermaid Queen increasingly sensed the mystery and extraordinary nature of this human known as the "Prophet," but since the "Prophet" was unwilling to reveal his secrets, she could not force him.

She looked at the "prophet" with a complicated expression: "Alright, as long as you are sincere in sealing the sea eye, I will wholeheartedly assist you."

......

"Alright, all nine sea eyes have been sealed. From now on, we'll have to trouble the merfolk to take care of these nine places." The "Prophet" breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the brand-new building rising from the seabed.

"But I'm afraid my merfolk can only protect them for a while, not forever. One or two generations is fine, but if it goes on for too long, let alone protecting these sea eyes, it's hard to say whether the merfolk themselves can even maintain their glory." The merfolk queen said with a hint of worry, "I estimate that in a few hundred years, the merfolk may not be as powerful as they are now. If some other accident happens, it will be difficult for the merfolk to protect the sea eyes. You must think of a more appropriate solution. You can't possibly want to seal the sea eyes again in a few hundred years, can you?"

The "Prophet" flew in one direction: "I have already thought about this problem. Now I will give the Merfolk one last gift, which is to thank you for helping to seal it, and also to thank the Merfolk for helping to take care of the sea eye."

The mermaid queen asked, puzzled, "How do you intend to thank me?"

"What you're worried about is that future generations of merfolk won't be able to produce strong individuals like you, and that they won't be able to maintain their strength. If that's the case, the merfolk will be too busy taking care of themselves to continue looking after the Sea Eye."

The mermaid queen nodded.

"The solution is actually quite simple: just let the merfolk keep producing strong individuals like you. As long as each generation of merfolk produces a strong individual worthy of the title of Queen, then the merfolk can remain powerful forever, right?"

The prophet's words were calm, but the mermaid queen was completely shocked.

"What are you talking about? How could such a thing possibly be possible?"

"There's nothing that can't be done. I've studied the power of the merfolk. Their power is very similar, and they have little resistance to those of the same kind. In other words, as long as we can store up the power of the merfolk and then select an excellent successor to inherit it, that's fine. As long as each generation of merfolk queens stores up their power at the last moment, then this power pool will never run dry, and the merfolk will be able to produce queen-level powerhouses in every generation."

The mermaid queen was stunned by this audacious idea.

"Is such a thing really possible? You... humans have already been able to do this... Doesn't that mean that you humans will have... strong individuals in every generation?" The Mermaid Queen said somewhat incoherently.

The once domineering and majestic Mermaid Queen now felt as ignorant as a newborn child.

This world is truly insane!

"Didn't I just say that only your mermaid race can do this because you have less resistance to each other, while humans can't do it. However, the human population is much larger than that of the mermaid race. Even without such a tradition, top-level experts will emerge in every era. Or rather, it is precisely because of this fiercely competitive environment that such top-level experts can emerge."

The "prophet" continued, "Of course, it's not entirely to thank the merfolk. It's also to better seal the nine sea eyes, because those seals need energy to operate. So, the heritage site I built for the merfolk will also supply energy to the seals of the nine sea eyes. But you don't need to worry about it, and neither do you merfolk. It will automatically absorb the free energy in the world and then automatically supply it to the seals of the sea eyes."

The mermaid queen felt that she had reached a blind spot in her knowledge, so she stopped talking and waited quietly to see if this human would actually fulfill his boastful words.

Before long, the "prophet" led the mermaid queen to a sea area where much of the deathly stillness had dissipated.

"Let's leave it here. This place is in the center of the nine sea eyes, which is a good way to provide the energy to maintain the seal of all nine sea eyes at the same time."

The "Prophet" stood above the ocean and looked at the Mermaid Queen: "I will trouble Your Majesty to divide the sea again."

Without further ado, the Mermaid Queen waved her hand, parting the vast ocean, and then looked at the "Prophet" to see what he would do next.

The "Prophet" flew to the middle of the separated ocean, where a spatial rift appeared, and then a triangular crystal cone floated out from the rift.

"Now that the great flood is about to recede, there is no need for the ark to exist. Go."

The triangular crystal cone slowly floated to the middle of the ocean, and then a larger spatial rift appeared, where construction robots began to work with the construction materials.
