System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

"It was a vast and boundless space, surrounded by enormous bronze buildings."

Some of them soar into the clouds, while others are low and exquisite, each exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

It was as if we had traveled through time and space to a forgotten civilization.

Yi Sa's voice was filled with awe.

“There, we discovered many incredible sights: a huge bronze altar was carved with intricate totems, seemingly telling some ancient story;

Strange vines coiled around the massive stone pillars, emitting a faint glow that illuminated the entire space.

"But what is most shocking are the merfolk sleeping in the bronze coffins."

They were completely different from what we had encountered before; there was no fury of revenge, only a peaceful and serene slumber.

We realized that these merfolk might have been the former guardians of this bronze world, and their awakening and attack on us might be due to some unknown disturbance disrupting the balance here.

Yi Sa's expression became complicated.

"We explored there for a long time, trying to find a way back to the surface."

Finally, we triggered a hidden mechanism, and the entire bronze world began to tremble. Seawater surged in from all directions, carrying us back to the real world. But that experience felt like a dream, deeply etched into our hearts.

At this point, Yi Sa turned to look at Zhang Hao, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Zhang Hao, perhaps it is fate that has brought us here again to find the real answer."

The South China Sea Ruins are not merely a bottomless pit; they are a bridge connecting the past and the future, waiting for us to uncover their secrets.

As Yi Sa finished speaking, the atmosphere on the ship became heavy and solemn.

Everyone sensed the challenges and opportunities that were about to come; they knew this would be an unprecedented adventure.

Zhang Hao stared intently at the massive whirlpool, watching helplessly as the fishing boat was pulled towards it by its immense suction.

As the fishing boat slowly approached, the whirlpool's suction grew stronger and stronger, as if it would swallow everything up.

But everyone on the fishing boat did not back down. They gripped everything on the boat that could provide support, ready to meet the challenge that was about to come.

The fishing boat, caught in the whirlpool of the South China Sea, seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, irresistibly sliding towards the unknown abyss.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, all sounds were swallowed by the roar of the vortex, leaving only the clear and rapid echoes of heartbeats and breaths in my ears.

As the fishing boat continued to descend, the surrounding light gradually dimmed until it was completely plunged into darkness.

Just as the fishing boat was about to be completely swallowed by darkness, a strange force suddenly came from the bottom of the boat, as if a powerful energy field was supporting the entire hull from below.

The fishing boat suddenly stopped, halting its descent and hovering in mid-air.

This sudden change was expected by everyone, because they had experienced it once before.

"This...this is the sea vapor you were talking about?" Zhang Haoxun asked.

Zhang Hao calmly walked to the side of the boat, reached out and touched the cold hull, feeling the supporting force coming from below.

He felt the sea vapor rising from the bottom of the boat. It was this sea vapor that supported the fishing boat, preventing it from rapidly plunging into the South China Sea, but instead causing it to descend slowly.

As the fishing boat descended, Zhang Hao looked around and saw that the South China Sea Ruins was a huge bottomless pit.

This cave is at least tens of thousands of meters in diameter, and seawater converges from all directions. The seawater is constantly flowing into the Ruins of Return, but it never overflows. No one knows what lies at the bottom of the Ruins of Return.
