It was here that Mei Xue joined the Mist Fleet and was shocked to discover that there were only four warships in the fleet.
They all had human postures, completely different personalities, and powers.
The gentle, all-embracing Divine Phoenix.
The overbearing, impulsive Yang Yan.
The Eight-Foot Mirror was calm and silent.
It was a strange and mysterious Bai.
Now that he thought about it, his encounter with them was like a dream, filled with countless mysteries.
Why was it him?
At that time, he had just walked out of an orphanage in Great Xia at the age of twelve. Other than the talent of "Three Thousand Thoughts at One Thought" that even he did not know about, and some basic knowledge as a Pharmacist, he knew nothing else.
However, it was precisely because of this that he began to win every battle after obtaining the four legendary warships. He had never suffered a defeat and completed countless great deeds in the Seven Seas. Finally, he was crowned the new King of the Seas in the Ultimate and Penglai as witnesses.
Now that he thought about it, it was truly a dream-like period of time. If not for the destruction of the Scorpion Pirates and the guidance of that eminent monk, perhaps he would still be immersed in that invincible state of mind.
After all, with the help of the Divine Phoenix, Yang Yan, Ba Chi Jing, and Bai, anyone could have achieved such an achievement. He was too arrogant to be so smug about it.
"No, that's not arrogance."
"That's something that you possess. Only you can do it."
"Think carefully about why you were chosen by the Divine Phoenix, Yang Yan, Ba Chi Jing, and Bai."
"Because you are unique, the only one in the world …"
Here it comes again. Mei Xue sighed. Ever since she had recovered Mo's memories in the Abyss Realm, this absolutely confident and even arrogant voice kept reverberating in her mind.
The problem was that even though it sounded so arrogant, it seemed to be true.
"Bai, why is it me?"
Mei Xue looked at the bustling port. The Deep Sea Fleet that had activated its illusion camouflage was less than a kilometer away from the port, but no one had discovered it.
Everything was just like that day. The legendary fleet could go wherever they wanted and disappear whenever they wanted.
This fleet was always shrouded in a deep fog. Even the forces that were fighting them head-on could not tell how many people they had.
The Dense Mist Fleet was the legend they had left behind in the Myriad Seas Mountain Range, the final line of defense against the invaders from outer space.
The Various Seas Mountain Range had experienced great calamities time and time again, and even the Four Sacred Beasts had fallen more than once. However, they still swam above the Seven Seas, representing the ultimate power of the Seven Seas.
Ronatsu-Ryūhime had swept through the mountains and unified all of them. Now, it was time for them to step up and become the strongest trump card of the various oceanic forces.
They were clearly such cute girls, yet they were fighting for the fate of the Myriad Seas and Mountains.
They were greater and more powerful than Mei Xue had imagined.
"Because you are the only one."
"You're our destiny, you're our home, you're … our hope, our only hope." Haku smiled with nostalgia.
On that day, they finally found their target.
They weren't in the middle of a storm in the Boundless Void, not in the deepest part of the Abyss Realm, not in the Frozen Sea at the end of the world of ice and snow, but in an ordinary port, a place that was only a temporary resting place. They found the person they were looking for.
They had waited for this day for far too long. They had even planned to continue searching like this for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years.
Happiness came too suddenly, without the slightest sign.
Mei Xue was the light of hope they had been searching for, the answer to life. Although she was still young at the time and didn't realize how special she was, they could tell that everything had been decided.
But they could see that with just that one look, that familiar heartbeat, everything was already fated.
Fate, after all, was not so cruel and unreasonable.
"Big brother, you're countless times more important than you think."
"So, please believe in yourself, and believe in us who believe in you."
"You're our hope."
"Without you, we would no longer exist."
"It's because of you that we're here."
"We will always be with you, no matter where you are going."
Mei Xue turned her head away in embarrassment. Haku's words were too passionate, completely unlike the eccentric and willful younger sister in his memory.
This was a confession, right? It had to be.
Did this mean that he was no longer a child in the eyes of Haku and the others?
He still remembered that when he confessed to them, their answers were almost the same: "You're still too young, it's not the right time."
Was it time now?
Indeed, compared to the twelve-year-old him, he had grown up now and truly understood how powerful the Divine Phoenix, Yang Yan, Eight Foot Mirror, and Haku were.
After experiencing so much, had he really matured?
"Haku, wait for me here. I know you don't like to go on land. I'll bring you lots of grilled squid when I come back."
Mei Xue hugged the shy Haku, then summoned Taichu and flew out of the sea with a sail jellyfish.
As the forces of the seas and the mountains were in a stalemate, even though the sail jellyfish could travel through space freely, they could still be detected in the mountains. Since both sides were restraining themselves, Mei Xue still chose to sneak in from the sea.
Stepping onto the land of the Great Xia again, Mei Xue felt a vague sense of rejection.
This land, and even the mountains, already had an owner.
Wherever the land of the Great Xia was, it was all that person's territory.
Even though she was not the ruler, even the mortals knew that the real pillar of the Great Xia Dynasty, the person who could decide the fate of the dynasty was not the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, but her.
Ronatsu-Ryūhime, Mei Xue's first love, the most powerful Earth Immortal who conquered the seas and mountains.
She had already accomplished half of her goal.
If the four Earth Immortals of the hidden forces of the seas hadn't reappeared and obtained the help of the sail jellyfish, perhaps she would have already conquered the whole of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Sister Xia, haven't you found that person yet?" Stepping onto the land of the Great Xia Dynasty again, Mei Xue felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity.
It seemed that the whole mountains had begun to change. The power of the earth veins had never been so clear, and each node of the earth veins had a tall Realm Tower.
Mei Xue sensed the power of the Heavenly Cycle Star Chart from these World Pagodas.
The legend was not groundless. Ronatsu-Ryūhime had indeed obtained the power of the Earth Immortal Xuanwu. These new Realm Towers, which were connected to the nodes of the earth veins of the mountains and mountains, were another sign of the transcending era of the Great Xia Dynasty's immortal art civilization.
"Innocence, Water Mirror, Jade Sky …" Mei Xue recalled the words of the peerless God-level immortal warlock, Jade Sky Fairy, whom she met in the Abyss Realm.
"We are all the same."
