Chapter 675: Youre Here!
In the farthest depths of the Ruins of Return, there was another vortex connecting to the sea.
The merfolk queen arrived at the vortex and dove straight into the pitch-black seawater. The golden glow from her scales illuminated the darkness slightly as she pressed forward.
She finally reached the center of the dark waters, where an enormous mountain of corals glowed softly, lighting up the surroundings. Upon closer inspection, it resembled a palace.
"Lord Wuchao, I seek your assistance."
The merfolk queen was highly respected among the various sea demons. Yet, outside this coral palace, she behaved like a humble junior.

The colossal coral mountain trembled, and after a brief moment, a gap appeared. From within the darkness, a long, gray object emerged. It resembled a tentacle, but its surface was covered in dark, dull scales.
The tentacle extended toward the merfolk queen, twisting and growing into the upper body of an elderly man. His hair was sparse, and his beard was snowy-white. His age was impossible to discern, and even his eyes seemed clouded by time.
As he recalled her, he said, "You are... the merfolk queen of this generation, aren't you? A descendant of the Hallowed Mother, yes? What is the matter?"
"The Sea Master of the Ruins of Return cult seeks to resurrect the Hallowed Mother," said the merfolk queen. "He has kept many things from me and now plans to use my daughter as a vessel. I do not know what to do, so I have come to seek your counsel, Lord Wuchao.
"If you side with him, I will sacrifice myself as the vessel for the Hallowed Mother. But if you are against this, you are the only one in the South Sea who can stop him!"
