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

"So, those memories from just now must have been hallucinations of Gu Ran after he was put into a trance. That makes sense. If they were real, the world would be in chaos."

Eudora looked at the screen with mixed feelings.

She hoped that Gu Ran hadn't forgotten her and still cared about her, but she also didn't want Gu Ran to be hallucinated and put in danger because of it.

However, before the powerful figures could discuss this for long, the screen flashed again, revealing another scene.

That was also the sea, an endless sea.

It's just not the deep sea, but the surface of the sea.

"Is it our ocean's turn this time? But why don't I sense any natural disaster?"

A beautiful mermaid with a noble air said with a slight frown.

"Because natural disasters don't come from the sea, but from underground, don't panic, Vivian."

Standing next to Vivian was the tall and upright "Chief Executive," who gently patted Vivian's beautiful, smooth back to soothe her emotions.

......

Outside the light screen.

Seeing this scene, the powerful figures felt a little strange. They looked at the light screen and then at Yudora behind them.

After all, one of their previous guesses was that the "general manager" was Gu Ran himself.

Although most people later chose the more likely option that "Gu Ran may have been hallucinating," even if it was hallucination, it was still based on the person's own memories.

That makes it seem like there's going to be some interesting drama.

So who is this mermaid?

Who created the image of Gu Ran?

It must be said that although this mermaid was one they had never seen before, in terms of temperament, she was definitely comparable to Ariel, the sea queen.

Gu Ran was deep in thought inside the "Ark Core".

He knew more information than others, after all, it was his "memory."

He knew that the woman was the Queen of the Merfolk, and the one next to her was the "Chief Regent" who looked like him.

Their relationship is clearly that of lovers.

This is what he "saw" during his integration with "deep water" and "mass consciousness" back then.

Besides the scenes just shown, there are other scenes, but it's currently unknown how to trigger their playback.

It can only proceed slowly, just like following the task system.

It is not a hallucination, but rather a collection of memories left behind by the "deep water" and "mass consciousness" over countless years of their past lives.

He saw some of its "memories," so it's normal for it to see some of his private "memories."

The "little conch" calling out to him in the deep sea was indeed an illusion created by the "deep water" and the "mass consciousness".

He almost got infected at the time, but in the end, he survived unharmed.

.......

In the light screen.

"Look, this is the 'enemy' we're dealing with this time."

“They come from underground, and they are more difficult to deal with than any enemy we have ever faced before.”

Vivian was somewhat confused by the "General Regent's" words, but before she could ask any more questions, the seabed began to stir.

An incredibly thick, viscous black liquid surged up from the ground and then erupted, spewing out like an oil well.

“What are these?” Vivian asked in shock.

“We can call them ‘deep water’ because they are much, much deeper than ordinary water, and they can be considered the main source of all the world’s ‘water’,” the “General Regent” explained calmly. “The biggest impact they have on us compared to ordinary water is that if they erupt, they could cause natural disasters such as tsunamis on land.”

“However—” The “General” glanced at Vivian and continued, “If the concentration of ‘deep water’ is sufficient, it will create a deathly stillness, killing all life within its range.”

"How do you know so much?" Vivian asked, somewhat surprised.

The "General Regency" looked at the continuously erupting "deep water" and said in a low voice, "Because this isn't the first time this thing has erupted, and humanity has paid a huge price for it."

"The reason I came here this time and asked you for help is because I want to figure out how to solve the root cause of this natural disaster."

"If this problem cannot be solved, it will not only be a catastrophe for humans, but also for your mermaid race and other races."

"Because if a 'deep water' natural disaster really breaks out, it could very well trigger a cataclysmic catastrophe!"

"The great flood submerged everything, and the deathly silence in the flood killed all life."

......

The scene of the "Chief Ruler" standing side by side with the mermaids of the Mermaid Clan on the screen, looking at the sea together, made all the powerful figures present feel a sense of familiarity.

"Wait a minute, why do I feel like this 'General Regent' is a lot like a 'prophet'?"

A powerful figure said with a puzzled expression.

221. Fighting against natural disasters! A conversation between the "Chief Administrator" and the "Mermaid Queen"! 4k

"Indeed, could this 'General Regent' be the 'Prophet'?"

"It really does look like it, could it really be? But the timing doesn't match up."

"The time difference is indeed quite large, and this 'General Regent' is named Gu Ran. It's impossible that the 'Prophet' is also named Gu Ran... I'm completely confused."

Even the enhanced brains of these powerful individuals were somewhat malfunctioning at this moment.

Xue Xiling pondered for a moment and said, "Is it possible that the Human Alliance is not being established for the first time? The previous civilization should have been more advanced than our current civilization, and the humans in our civilization are all descendants of the remnants of the previous civilization."

"Then the Human Alliance may have been established in the previous civilization. The scenes we saw were from the previous civilization. Didn't you notice? Those scenes just now revealed an important piece of information: 'superpowers' and 'martial arts' were both created by that 'Grand Ruler'."

"This contradicts our current understanding. In the education we received from childhood, superpowers are innate abilities that humans develop in order to survive in harsh and difficult environments. Martial arts, on the other hand, were taught to the founders of Canglong City and Zhuque City by an unknown powerful figure, the 'Ancestor of Martial Arts,' more than a thousand years ago, and then spread widely."

"The Human Alliance was established even later, and since its inception, it has not played a significant role most of the time. The position of 'General Administrator' has been vacant for many years, and even when someone occasionally obtains this position, they do not have the same prestige as the 'General Administrator' on the screen."

"Other major cities had no respect for the 'General Regent' or the Human Alliance. Only after Gu Ran became the General Regent with his unparalleled strength in the Human Alliance and then imposed brutal ruling methods did the other major cities become terrified of the title of General Regent, and the Human Alliance thus gained a deep-rooted popularity."

"So we believe that the information displayed on the screen is wrong because it does not conform to our understanding. But if we are not wrong, and the information on the screen is not wrong either, then it is indeed the Human Alliance, and he is indeed the first General Ruler of the Human Alliance, just not the Human Alliance we know, not the General Ruler we know."

"That was the human alliance created by the previous civilization, and they were also the ruling power of that civilization. Moreover, their calendar was different from ours. They used the 'Yuan Calendar,' while we use the 'Star Stone Calendar.' I think this should also be considered evidence."

After Xue Xiling finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but follow her train of thought and start thinking.

If we follow this conjecture, it seems that many things can indeed be explained.

This includes the lingering affection and deep love for humanity revealed when the "prophet" disappeared.

“But there are still some things that can’t be explained, such as why he was originally the chief governor, but later became the ‘prophet’?” Xue Xiling shook her head and overturned part of her previous reasoning.

"Perhaps it was because some kind of change happened later? So he had to give up his status as 'General Ruler' and become a 'Prophet'."

Others speculated.

"But what kind of change would lead to this?"

"Moreover, I remember that although the other people on the Ark also respected the 'Prophet,' their fervent reverence for the 'General Regent' shown in the scene was somewhat less than that shown in the scene, and their emotions were also different. This means that if they really are the same person, it means that the identity of the 'General Regent' has been completely abandoned, which is unlikely."

Some people disagree.

The doubts in everyone's hearts grew stronger, and they vaguely sensed that something was wrong with Gu Ran.

This abnormality is something beyond their comprehension, giving them a sense of unease.

However, no one expressed this sense of unease.

......

The screen still showed the "General Manager" and Vivian dealing with the eruption of the sea eye.

"Is this the deathly stillness you described?" Vivian felt a threat in her heart, and her expression changed. "I must relocate the merfolk immediately."

As soon as she finished speaking, she flew into the sky, a faint blue light emanating from her body, and then flew away into the distance.

Those blue lights were incredibly fast, instantly splitting the sea apart and then completely "cutting away" the area where the merfolk lived.

A small depression suddenly appeared on the boundless sea.

The "small piece" that was "cut off" flew further away under Vivian's control.

The "Chief Executive" praised, "Impressive. No other race can match the Merfolk in their control over the sea."

This flattery clearly hit Vivian where it hurt.

"Hmph." A hint of pride appeared on Vivian's face. "Of course, the merfolk are the true kings of the sea."

The "General Manager" smiled but didn't say anything more.

He understood the principle that too much of a good thing can be bad, and that occasional well-intentioned praise could help strengthen the relationship between two people and gain their friendship.

However, if the praise is too deliberate or nauseating, it will only make the other person look down on you, and it will also hinder normal interactions between the two people.

"Alright, what should we do next?" Perhaps because of the flattery from the "General Manager" just now, Vivian's expression was noticeably more relaxed than at the beginning.

The "Chief Executive" looked down at the sea and said:

"From my observation just now, I have discovered that although 'deep water' is a very dangerous thing, it is not without its benefits. Perhaps it is a case of extremes meeting, but the 'deep water' that is dead and still is actually emitting more spiritual energy than other places."
