Ascension failed, the system took me away

Remus stared at the woman in the source of water and told her the purpose of his visit in a low voice.

The woman's eyes opened, shining with a deep light like pearls in the deep sea. She said slowly: "The trajectory of fate has already been determined, why are you still obsessed with changing it?"

Shrouded in golden light, Remus frowned and clenched his fists under his sleeves: "My people should be free and should not be enslaved by fate. I am the god of Lemuria and I should respond to the wishes of my people."

"A wish?" The woman suddenly smiled, but her smile was filled with sadness and helplessness.

"Do you know that the beginning of all this is because I responded to the wishes of my family members?"

Remus was shocked and asked quickly: "What does this mean?"

He was a little excited. Just as the prophet had said, the Lord of the Waters really knew the reason.

The woman sighed and said, "Since you want to know, I will tell you."

She talked about the past, and the sins she had committed by exceeding her authority.

This piece of source water is called the Original Fetal Sea. Its ancient ruler was the Water Dragon, who was also the heart of the Fetal Sea. Eventually, this ruler was defeated by the Sky Throne.

But new water dragons would still be born in the Taihai itself, so the god of the sky created a new heart, occupied this key position, and prevented the birth of water dragons.

This new heart replaced the power of the Water Dragon. It had the nobility of a dragon but not its appearance.

She is the woman who is recounting her past events, her name is Egolia.

Later, Egolia's followers, the pure water elves, envied the people on earth and wanted to become humans.

As their god, Egolia responded to the wishes of the pure water elves and used her power over the fetal sea to transform these followers into humans.

But creating life is the authority of the sky. Such an act of usurpation brought the wrath of the sky, so a prophecy was made that people who were transformed from pure water elves would eventually dissolve into the water of the fetal sea.

This is the reason for the final destruction and the original sin of everything.

Remus was shocked when he heard this, and was confused for a moment.

But he still suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart and continued to ask: "If the original fetal sea is the origin of all life, then why can only people transformed from pure water spirits dissolve into it?"

"Because I am not the original water dragon, the power of creation I obtained is not complete." Egolia replied with a sigh.

"It's better to say it's mimicry than creation. Although they have human appearance and structure, they are still pure water elves in essence, and their blood contains some fetal sea water."

"Once in contact with this seawater, the body will dissolve irresistibly, and the spirit will return to the water. Born in water and dissolved in water, this is a predetermined fate."

Remus said nothing, but his mind was full of thoughts. Countless ideas flashed through his mind in a short period of time, but he never intended to succumb to fate.

But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't think of any way to break the impasse.

Remus was filled with resentment and anger.

He fought for supremacy in the land of Red Sand, but was defeated by the Lord of the Scorching Sun, and lost his city-state and people. Because he was unwilling to submit, he left his homeland and wandered in other places.

Later, he found an ancient relic under the sea and wanted to use it as his own tomb, but unexpectedly he met a prophet from the old times.

The prophet told him that he would once again possess his city-state and people, and establish a glorious dynasty in this high sea. This was his destiny.

But the prophet also told him that his glorious dynasty would eventually be destroyed, and this was also fate.

Remus smiled nonchalantly and said, "If all this is arranged by destiny, what choice do I have?"

"And if I had a choice, I would be able to change the fate you mentioned!"

So he no longer planned to lie in the ruins and wait for death. He drove a huge golden ship to make a comeback, gathered the survivors of the last destruction, and established Lemuria.

However, with the rapid development of the country, the prophecy of fate that he had originally ignored became like a nightmare, constantly lingering in his mind and making him anxious.

And now, Remus got the reason for the prophecy of destruction, but not the answer to redemption.

"Is it true that the end of all this cannot be changed?"

"It is destined. When you stepped into the high sea, you have entered the weaving of fate. Your current struggle is also one of the parts." Egolia said softly.

“But now, it might be different!”

"What do you mean?" Remus demanded.

Egolia raised her head, her eyes bright, the sadness she had when she first saw him gone, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.

She looked towards the sail of the huge golden ship and saw a crab swinging on it.

"The waters flowing through the world tell me that a traveler who does not belong to this world has come to visit. Will you not come out to see him?"

The next moment, the inconspicuous crab swung out, split into two, turned into two figures, and landed on the giant golden ship.

"There are actually two of them? What kind of trick is this?" Remus looked at Baizhi and Osel in surprise.

Apparently he had already noticed the crab hanging on his boat, but he didn't expect there were two people hiding inside it.

"Traveler outside of destiny, I wonder why you are here?" Egolia stared at Baizhi and asked softly.

Bai Zhi didn't care about being discovered. The methods of these powerful creatures were unpredictable and unknown. Moreover, they were in their lair, so it would be abnormal if they were not discovered.

However, in comparison, the Lord of All Waters was clearly more skilled than the Golden Captain Remus and discovered more information.

"Nothing, I just want some water for research. Can you give it to me?"

Without beating around the bush, Bai Zhi stated her purpose directly.

"Okay! But I have a condition!" Egolia did not refuse.

"As for the deal, it's a give and take. Please tell me." Bai Zhi knew what she wanted to do because her intention was obvious.

Sure enough, Egolia said, "No matter how hard the destined person tries to break the impasse, it will only be a meaningless struggle. But you are outside of fate, so I would like to ask you to intervene and break this inevitable fate!"

"In exchange, you can take any of this sea water, including my understanding of it over the years."

"Oh, do you really believe that I can do it?" Bai Zhi looked at her with interest.

Remus on the side was also a little surprised. He looked at this person who came here with his hitchhiking, left and right, and there seemed to be only one answer.

This is a human being, not a demon.

For a moment, it seemed unbelievable. How could humans have such means?

"I don't know whether you can do it or not, but you must be very brave, even braver than me."

Egolia turned her gaze to Osel and said while staring at the harpoon in his hand.

"You have touched that person's power and you have changed it so recklessly. As someone from another world, you dare to do this. I can't compare to your courage."

Bai Zhi cupped her hands and said, "Thank you for the compliment. It's actually not as dangerous as you think. We just need to find the key."

"I know that he has fallen into a deep sleep." Egolia nodded slightly and continued, "So, do you want to take this deal?"

"Of course, I took it."

As Bai Zhi finished speaking, a golden cup filled with water from the fetal sea flew in front of him.

He sent a mechanical puppet to collect it, and suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will take it and leave?"

Egolia smiled and said, "No problem. Besides, wise traveler, you are so curious about the unknown that you will definitely pursue it to the end."

"You're really good at reading people!"
