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

Even if Gu Ran is truly a tyrant, as long as he remains the same Gu Ran who loves the little seashell, she will stay with him and become the tyrant's queen.

Mermaids have always been known for their passionate lovers.

This reflects the differences in their racial and cultural backgrounds, as well as their different feelings towards Gu Ran.

In Eudora's heart, Gu Ran was just as important as the mermaids, and perhaps even more important than them. Otherwise, she wouldn't have told Gu Ran to help the mermaids if he could, and not to help if he couldn't, as protecting himself was the most important thing.

Xue Xiling is a woman with a stronger sense of career. In her heart, there is Gu Ran, scientific research, Lanxin University, and the development and future of humanity.

Her heart was so full of things that even Gu Ran only occupied one aspect of it.

So when Gu Ran became a tyrant who harmed hundreds of millions of people in the Human Alliance, she stood on the opposite side of Gu Ran, especially since Gu Ran had destroyed Lanxin University and murdered her father.

There were both public grudges and personal hatreds.

This is why Xue Xiling wanted to kill Gu Ran.

“But—” Eudora’s words suddenly took a turn, “I’m staying here to see him off on his final journey. This isn’t something I’m discussing with you; it’s an announcement to you.”

"If you humans can't even grant this small request, then let's just start a war. Cities near the coast had better be prepared. I won't show any mercy. If all else fails, I can even break the seals on those sea pores and make them erupt."

"You have all seen Gu Ran's memories, so you should know that our mermaid race participated in the construction of the Sea Eye Ruins back then, so the location of the Sea Eye Ruins is not a secret to the mermaid race."

As soon as Yudora spoke, all the powerful figures present were shocked, especially those from the coastal main city, who were immediately terrified.

Yes, there are still many sea vent remnants in the sea. If these sea vents are allowed to erupt, they will definitely create unprecedented tsunamis, and the entire sea level will rise significantly. That would be a disaster for the entire land civilization.

With their strength, they themselves may not be afraid, but they all have families to support and a huge social network in the local area.

Xue Xiling also fell silent, momentarily stunned by Yudora.

If all the ocean vents really erupt at once...

As one of the world's most outstanding researchers, she knew better than anyone else present what a sea eye was and what serious consequences all sea eye eruptions would cause.

Historically, the early stages of human civilization were almost destroyed by a worldwide flood.

If it happened again, while it wouldn't completely destroy our current technologically advanced human civilization, it would certainly cause severe damage that would be difficult to recover from.

With the imminent merging of the three realms, won't humanity, whose strength has been greatly diminished, be at the mercy of the Heavenly Realm and the Abyss?

Thinking of the serious consequences, even Xue Xiling's intelligent mind became confused, and her heart was filled with worry.

But in reality, Eudora was bluffing.

The merfolk know the locations of all the sea eye ruins, but those ruins have been repaired and reinforced by someone, so even with her current strength, she cannot destroy them. Otherwise, she wouldn't be unable to rescue her mother, who is imprisoned in the sea eye ruins.

Humans knew very little about the merfolk and were unaware of the truth, so they were frightened by Eudora's words.

Eudora calmly surveyed the scene, and after seeing everyone's expressions, she knew that her plan had succeeded.

Having grasped their fears, and with the demands not being so "excessive," these humans had no reason not to agree.

Sure enough, Xue Xiling glanced around the scene, pondered for a moment, and then began to discuss with Youdora.

"Queen of the Sea Clan, you can stay here, of course. But you know how extreme your actions were, right? No matter what your relationship with Gu Ran was, Gu Ran is now the person the Allied Forces are going to punish. He is an enemy of the entire Human Alliance. He must be held accountable for his past horrific rule."

Xue Xiling said, "So in order to put the rest of the coalition forces at ease, you must retreat to a relatively safe distance with the sea creatures. Otherwise, even if it means mutual destruction, we will not agree to your request."

This was actually a test from Xue Xiling for You Duola. You said you had given up on saving Gu Ran, so then step back from this "dangerous" distance. Otherwise, it would prove that you were lying and that you were still planning to save Gu Ran.

Eudora feigned hesitation for a moment before nodding and saying, "Alright, we sea creatures can step back to the very back. I agree. So, what about you? Can you represent the others?"

After saying that, Eudora pretended to show a distrustful expression.

She had already anticipated being asked to retreat to the perimeter. The distrustful look she gave Xue Xiling was to see if she could stir up internal conflicts among the humans, since she needed sufficient prestige to represent others.

Xue Xiling turned her head and glanced at the group of powerful figures, saying, "The Sea Clan Queen has already expressed her opinion. My inclination is to agree. Who among you agrees and who disagrees? If you disagree, please step forward and explain your reasons. I think the others present should be able to understand you."

The room fell silent for a moment, and no one stood up to object.

"Alright, then I'll take it as my agreement. Since you've agreed, please don't go back on your word later, otherwise you'll be negating the decision we all made together," Xue Xiling said calmly. "At that time, don't say I disagree, I don't think the powerful figures in those coastal cities will agree either."

The powerful figures present weren't stupid. Saying they were asking those among them who opposed them to stand up and explain their reasons was actually a way for them to stand up and expose themselves as targets.

When the sea queen threatened to break the seal on the sea eye, but only made such a "small request," they could not possibly object.

Otherwise, the powerful figures in those coastal cities would probably kill those who oppose them first.

Lin Fan glanced at the scene and thought about trying to gain some "political capital" for the decision-making process. At this moment, whoever facilitated the reconciliation with the Sea Queen would definitely leave a good impression on the powerful figures in the main city by the sea. However, Xue Xiling's aura was too strong, making it difficult for him to step forward and seize the initiative for the time being.

"Alright, then please make way for the Sea Clan with an outermost passage." Xue Xiling glanced at the crowd to Gu Qingqing's right. "If any of you are not confident in the promise of the dignified Sea Clan Queen, you can stand guard on the outermost edge. I think the Sea Clan Queen is magnanimous and will not mind."

The powerful figures from that direction immediately made way, and then the powerful figures from the main coastal city silently stood on the outermost edge, closest to the merfolk.

They were indeed still somewhat worried about the Sea Queen. Of course, some people on Gu Qingqing's side were also worried. Currently, there were also many powerful figures surrounding the energy shield formed by the spatial device.

The situation on the scene was born out of various compromises. Each side had its own concerns, and the bottom line and the key was Gu Ran's life or death.

Yudora gave Xue Xiling a deep look, said nothing more, and led the sea creatures to the outermost edge.

At this distance, even if the Sea Queen wanted to launch an attack, it would be impossible for her to instantly pass through the numerous powerful figures blocking her way and get close to Gu Ran, since she was not a space ability user.

According to Principal Xue, the only spatial ability user is currently unable to use his abilities.

The powerful humans present were temporarily relieved.

Although the whole process seemed long, it actually only took less than ten minutes from the moment Yudora betrayed them. The powerful figures present spent relatively little time fighting Gu Qingqing and the Sea Queen; most of the time was spent negotiating.

To everyone's surprise, the screen, which had seemed to be black before, lit up again and continued playing the video when they turned their attention back to it.

Everyone assumed that Lin Fan was in control, so they didn't pursue the matter further or pay much attention.

However, Lin Fan frowned slightly. Only he knew that his control over the triangular crystal cone was not very high at all, and the black screen of the triangular crystal cone just now was not under his control.

However, faced with the gazes of the crowd, he didn't want to explain that he had little control over the situation, so he acquiesced to it.

In the light screen.

After leaving Ariel, Gu Ran swam toward the ancient ruins of the sea tribe.

He was indeed preparing to leave the sea. He was going to Vermilion Bird City to find his sister and to ask Leng Feng about what happened after his "death".

However, before leaving, he wanted to take the triangular crystal cone with him.

The powerful figures were curious to see where Gu Ran would swim to and what he would do, but to their surprise, the screen went black and the scene changed, showing land instead of the ocean.

.....

A question mark couldn't help but pop into the minds of those outside the screen.

Why isn't the rest of the content playing?

Could the following content be prohibited?

For a moment, everyone's imagination ran wild.

Xue Xiling's pupils contracted slightly. She suddenly realized that the direction Gu Ran had just swum in was likely the same as she had guessed: he had gone to the Merfolk's heritage site and taken the triangular crystal cone.

"Queen of the Sea Clan, I wonder if the Merfolk still possess the core of that inherited relic?" Xue Xiling turned around and asked Yudora, who was not far away.

Eudora merely glanced at her indifferently: "This is an internal matter of the sea race, and I have no comment."

It neither said that it possessed, nor that it no longer possessed.

In reality, the Merfolk no longer possessed the core of that inherited relic—the triangular crystal cone—and Eudora guessed that Gu Ran had taken it away.

Now that Xue Xiling has suddenly brought up this matter, although she doesn't know what her specific intentions are, Yudora doesn't want to cooperate with her.

Furthermore, to prevent Xue Xiling from deducing anything from her answer, Yudora simply said "No comment" with a blank expression, minimizing the possibility of her making a slip of the tongue.

Xue Xiling observed Yudora's expression for a few seconds, while Yudora glared back without backing down. She had long heard that this woman had some ambiguous relationship with Gu Ran, but before she had integrated the missing soul quality within the Heart of the Ocean, she had forgotten her own relationship with Gu Ran and therefore had not paid attention.

But now that she has regained her memories, she has subconsciously become concerned about the relationships between other women and Gu Ran.

Although rumors circulated that this woman was Gu Ran's fiancée, she herself was the woman he truly loved.

Eudora subconsciously defended her position as the "official wife".

After observing Yudora's expression for a while, Xue Xiling gained nothing except a vague sense of hostility from her. She then withdrew her gaze.

As for the source of the hostility, she thought it was because she had "driven" the Sea Queen to the back, never expecting that it was because of her status as Gu Ran's "fiancée". After all, she had long since let go of this childish feeling, so even when she saw Gu Ran and the Sea Queen's first love, she only sighed and did not have any intention of being hostile to the Sea Queen because of it.

The other powerful figures couldn't help but show slight expressions of doubt after hearing the two women's question and answer.

What does Principal Xue mean by asking this?

Could it be that the triangular crystal cone at the scene is the same triangular crystal cone from the Mermaid Clan?

But if it really is the triangular crystal cone of the mermaid race, didn't the soul of "Ariel" in the light screen say that anyone who becomes the queen of the mermaid race can control that triangular crystal cone? Then this Queen Ariel must also be able to control it, and even if she attacks with all her might, it will have no effect on the triangular crystal cone.

Moreover, the triangular crystal cone of the Merfolk is significantly different in terms of line proportions from the current triangular crystal cone, and their functions are also different. The triangular crystal cone inside is used to control the ruins and emit countless beams of light.

Lin Fan's triangular crystal cone was used to trap and kill enemies; it had a single function, but it was extremely powerful.

In addition, Xue Xiling had previously mentioned that there was a triangular crystal cone within Lanxin University that simply converted spiritual energy, which further reduced the uniqueness of the triangular crystal cone and made them stop thinking about it.

But just now, Principal Xue suddenly asked this question again...

Lin Fan's face turned rather ugly, as if he had swallowed a dead fly.

This triangular crystal cone has always been his strongest treasure for defeating enemies, and he has never failed to use it. Even when facing Gu Ran, he did not fail. Therefore, he has always regarded it as one of the strong proofs that he is a person favored by heaven. He has also shown off his triangular crystal cone to many powerful people.

However, if this triangular crystal cone is the core of the Merfolk heritage site that Gu Ran brought out, it will cause the treasure to lose its mystery, it will also cause others to lose their awe of the treasure, and it will also thwart the new general's plan to promote himself as the "destined one".
