It’s not too early for An Yan to come now. It was five years before the small island country discharged nuclear waste water.

She thought about going ashore and humanely destroying this small island nation, but that would be too easy for them.

Furthermore, her strength had barely recovered. Using a tsunami or earthquake was feasible, but it would inevitably affect other areas. If her actions led to the destruction of the world, that would be disastrous. She had to come up with a foolproof plan.

Another crucial point is that marine species are very weak in self-preservation. If they are caught by humans, they might have a chance to escape, but if they encounter nuclear waste, the waters they depend on for survival will be contaminated, leaving them with no chance of survival.

As the most intelligent and powerful of all the ocean fish, the mermaids have taken on the responsibility of protecting the ocean, but their current strength is far from enough!

After all, they were close to water and the ocean, and their inherited practices were all about purification. However, the spiritual energy in the world was declining, and the degree of purification was limited. Even the garbage thrown away by humans would take decades, even centuries or millennia to degrade, let alone pollutants like nuclear wastewater.

In any case, having strength is the prerequisite for having the right to speak.

An Yan's sea-blue fish tail made her extremely respected within the mermaid tribe, so An Yan went directly to find Cheng, the mermaid tribe leader.

The clan leader, over 1,800 years old, is a powerful yet kind and loving elder. He is currently concerned about pollution.

A few years ago, an earthquake caused a nuclear leak at a nuclear power plant on a small island nation. However, the islanders refused to take the time to remediate the leak, instead spending huge amounts of public relations money to try to conceal the leak. Their inaction led to escalating contamination and the release of radioactive elements into the surrounding waters.

Many fish that didn't have time to escape died tragically. By the time patrolling fish discovered the situation and informed the mermaids, the situation was already critical. The mermaids gathered their elite forces to stop the spread and tried to purify the area, but with little success.

In the end, we can only try to expel the nuclear wastewater, minimize the eroded sea area, and let it return to the small island country with the ocean current.

There are also residual nuclear wastewater, and they must spend time and energy to purify this sea area that has been eroded to the point where life can no longer survive.

The patriarch held a list of outstanding young people in the clan. Thinking of his current situation, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Grandpa clan leader!" An Yan came to the clan leader's house, another luxurious crystal palace.

Hearing her voice, the clan leader's eyes flashed with surprise, and he forced a smile, "An, aren't you going to retreat?"

An Yan shook her head. "Grandpa Clan Leader, originally, yes, but the current situation is not optimistic. I can't stay out of it, let alone retreat in peace. It's better to come out and do something."

The patriarch smiled with relief, "Good boy, you are still young, and we old bones can still handle it, don't worry."

"Grandpa clan leader, were the two uncles who went to purify the nuclear wastewater a few days ago injured? I seem to sense a bad aura." An Yan did not beat around the bush.

Speaking of this, the clan leader was heartbroken. "Alas, they accidentally came into contact with radioactive elements. Bing's scales fell off in large pieces, his appearance was ruined, and he has been suffering from illness. Li's condition is even more serious. He is still unconscious and twitching frequently. His fish tail is also showing signs of atrophy."

He closed his eyes reluctantly. "We can only help purify the radioactive elements, but as for the aftereffects... the doctors can only do their best."

"Can I go and see? Maybe I can help with the treatment."

The clan leader's eyes lit up slightly, and he took her to the medical hall, where Bing and Li were both recuperating.

Mermaids have always been the darlings of heaven, with angelic appearance, but now they are emaciated and weak.

An Yan couldn't bear it, so she used the system's pills to supply them with spiritual power and help them recover.

Until both of them had rosy complexions and slept peacefully, their bodies visibly recovering, and the patriarch's eyes were red.

After doing all this, the two of them walked out slowly, fearing to disturb their rest.

After returning to the clan leader's home, An Yan's expression was solemn. "Grandpa Clan Leader, I had a prophetic dream. In the dream, the entire ocean would suffer a devastating disaster, and all sea creatures would be destroyed. Everything would be dead and lifeless. The way my two uncles looked just now was exactly the same as in the dream. I have to believe that this must be a warning from the Sea God. We must prepare early!"

The clan leader trusted An Yan. After all, she had the purest spiritual power in this generation. As the saint of the mermaid clan, it was reasonable for the sea god to issue a warning. But it was precisely because of the trust that the clan leader felt even more upset.

"A catastrophe? Because of nuclear waste?" The patriarch's voice was heavy.

An Yan said indignantly, "Exactly! The last time it just leaked, it caused heavy casualties in the nearby waters. But they will release tens of thousands of tons of nuclear wastewater in a few years. The speed of seawater spreading is so fast that we have no ability to resist, so..."

The patriarch leaned heavily against the back of his chair, his handsome face bleak and tragic. He took a long breath, and after a long silence, his eyes were filled with ruthlessness and his tone was cold, "The small island nation shall perish."

"What the clan leader said is correct!" An Yan agreed, "But we must proceed step by step. It's not difficult to destroy it, but it's very difficult to ensure that the sea clan remains unscathed. Therefore, we must improve the strength of the sea clan, so that we can at least protect ourselves in the future."

The clan leader nodded in agreement, then said awkwardly, "But the ocean is severely polluted. Our cultivation is hindered, and we have to divert our attention to purifying it. How can we improve our strength?"

"Grandpa Chief, I want to go to the mermaid tribe's forbidden area!"

An Yan spoke with such force and determination that the clan leader was taken aback. "The forbidden area is full of dangers. Do not trespass."

"So I came to ask for your consent." An Yan's words were so matter-of-fact that the patriarch was speechless for a moment.

"The journey to the forbidden land may indeed be dangerous, but I'm not afraid! It's better to try to find a way to survive than to be forced to die miserably in the future. Grandpa, the clan leader, we don't have much time left."

The reason why An Yan insisted on going to the forbidden area was because the mermaid clan history recorded that there was a "Heart of the Ocean" preserved in the forbidden area, which could command the entire sea clan, including the unintelligent fish.

There is a key that can enter the forbidden area, which is passed down by the clan leaders of all generations. The key contains a map that can save a lot of time. This is why An Yan needs the clan leader's consent.

The clan leader pondered for a moment, then sighed and said self-deprecatingly, "I'm really getting old. I've become hesitant and timid."

An Yan quickly said, "Grandpa Clan Leader, you are the Clan Leader, and you have a lot of things to worry about."

The tribe leader patted An Yan's shoulder and said, "An, you are a good child and the hope for the future of our mermaid tribe. I really don't want you to take risks. I can allow it, but you must come back safely!"

An Yan said solemnly: "Yes! I promise!"

The girl was full of vigor and vitality. The clan leader felt mixed emotions, both relieved and sad, and handed a token to An Yan.
