The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

"So, after two hundred years, you still haven't found an answer?"

Luo Qingcheng gazed at the woman in the seawater, her eyes closed and her expression icy, and asked softly.

Yu Nu nodded.

She misjudged people back then, letting wolves into her home and causing her entire tribe to suffer this catastrophic disaster. She is unworthy to be a princess of the sea tribe, hence she calls herself Yu Nu.

"Sigh, what can I say?"

Luo Qingcheng sighed. After all, two hundred years ago, Hai Yu was just a ten-year-old child, an age when murderers would not be held criminally responsible.

She probably didn't know what love or marriage meant at first.

"Are you a soul now, the one before me?"

"Yes."

Luo Qingcheng muttered, "No wonder the skeleton sister in the mass grave sounded so young. It turns out she was still a child when she was stripped of her body and didn't have a complete memory. That's why she said Haiyu willingly married a human."

Was this how Haiyu blamed herself back then?

She always believed that her clan was wiped out because she wanted to marry Zhou Yucheng.

"But the one who is wrong is not you, it is Zhou Yu and the person behind the scenes."

"What does it matter who is at fault? The sea creatures have suffered this calamity because of me. No matter what, I cannot and do not wish to escape my guilt."

Yu Nu said calmly, "Your method for lifting the curse is not useless, but I do not wish to lift the curse."

Once the curse is lifted, the clansmen she forcibly kept in the world will immediately vanish.

Luo Qingcheng shook his head, "Do you know what the black energy Zhou Yu released in your memory was?"

"The inheritance tells me that the black aura is the aura of the Heavenly Demon, which is different from ordinary demons. The Heavenly Demons are a race born and raised by nature, and there is no way to restrain the aura of the Heavenly Demon in this world."

"No, nothing in this world is without any weaknesses. In these two hundred years, have you ever seen the sea god?"

Upon hearing the words "Sea God," Yu Nu's body trembled slightly, and a complex expression quickly crossed her face, which Luo Qingcheng would not have noticed if he hadn't been watching her closely.

She seemed completely unconcerned: "No, the Sea God... has already dispersed his spirit and returned to heaven and earth."

"Really? Are you sure?"

Luo Qingcheng didn't believe it. The Sea God had once obtained a wisp of divine energy to refine and comprehend the divine path. Although he hadn't become a god, he already possessed divine nature. Zhou Yu deliberately targeted the Sea God with the Heavenly Demon Qi first, which meant that the Heavenly Demon Qi wasn't without weaknesses. At least, gods and demons are opposed. If the Sea God was like ordinary sea creatures, completely defenseless against the Heavenly Demon Qi, then why would Zhou Yu go to all this trouble? He could have just released the Heavenly Demon Qi directly.

Moreover, the fact that this demonic energy did not harm Yu Nu, who shares the same blue hair, blue eyes, and golden tail as the first Sea God, is the biggest evidence of this.

Yu Nu did not answer.

She wasn't sure.

"Since that's the case, we might as well try anything, so take me to see him."

Seeing that Yu Nu's expression softened, Luo Qingcheng seized the opportunity to make a request.

Yu Nu hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

Actually, she really wanted to see the Father God, but she felt ashamed to face the Sea God because she believed she was an accomplice in his death, so she made an excuse to avoid him.

But now she has a legitimate reason.

Yu Nu couldn't wait to grab Luo Qingcheng's hand and used her shrinking technique to instantly transport them to the palace where the sea sacrifice banquet had once been held.

It is almost identical to the magnificent palace in Luoqing City's memory, except that the displays and decorations bear more traces of time.

At the top was a giant black egg. Yu Nu had examined it carefully, and even if she activated her bloodline power at any cost, she could not sense even the slightest bit of the Sea God's life force.

Thinking of this, the little hope that had risen in my heart sank again.

However, Luo Qingcheng always had a twisted logic to convince her, "Look, if the Sea God had dissipated, why would this egg still be standing here? It's so smooth and round, so well protected, maybe the Sea God is struggling to resist the invasion of the Heavenly Demon Qi inside!"

That makes sense.

Yu Nu couldn't help but think of her beloved father god, who was vomiting blood and resisting pitifully. She panicked. She was a Nascent Soul Venerable, but she cast her pleading gaze at Luo Qingcheng, completely unaware that Luo Qingcheng in front of her was just an ordinary mortal with no cultivation, judging from his appearance.

"What should I do?"

Luo Qingcheng stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and made a suggestion that sounded rather impractical, "Why don't you try attacking this black egg and see if you can crack it?"

Yu Nu was disappointed. She had thought that Luo Qingcheng could offer some constructive suggestions. "I have already tried them. Not only that, I have also tried burning, dousing with water, and smashing with a hammer."

Luo Qingcheng silently mourned for the sea god inside the egg for a second, then asked, "Have you tried infusing it with divine energy?"

"Divine breath? But I am not a god, where would I get divine breath to use?"

"It's not that divine breath."

The Heavenly Demon should reside in the realm of gods and demons. Its appearance in the realm of cultivation is already quite unusual. This wisp of Heavenly Demon energy must have been weakened. Otherwise, if something from the realm of gods and demons were placed in the realm of cultivation, it would surely cause a cataclysmic disaster to match the Heavenly Demon's prestige.

But in the end, it only wiped out one isolated sea tribe and ended there. Being trapped among the sea tribe made Luo Qingcheng feel that this was related to the curse that Yu Nu had cast back then.

Furthermore, the fact that the person behind Zhou Yu specifically named him and instructed him to place the Heavenly Demon Qi on the Sea Clan already indicates that there is something wrong with the Sea Clan.

Whether it's eliminating obstacles or making advance arrangements, anything connected to the realm of gods and demons is definitely part of a shocking conspiracy.

But that has nothing to do with her, a complete novice.

When we get back to the sect, we'll tell the big shots to worry about it. The most urgent thing is to get the Sea God out of the egg.

"Since you resemble the first Sea God, why not try infusing your bloodline power?"

Yu Nu was also reckless, as the power of bloodline was of utmost importance. Once lost, it could only be restored over many years. It was not something that could be easily replaced as if it didn't work.

She nodded and placed her palm on the egg. Golden light surged between the egg and her palm as Yu Nu activated her bloodline power, and a mysterious aura spread outwards from Yu Nu in all directions.

Luo Qingcheng looked at the eggshell expectantly.

But as time passed, the eggshell remained completely still.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have stopped long ago after giving up their precious bloodline power without seeing any benefit. But Yu Nu would not do that!

She knew that by giving up this time, she was giving up the last bit of hope for the sea god's life. If the sea god was still struggling in the black egg, wouldn't that be equivalent to her personally cutting off her father's only way out?

After a long while, Luo Qingcheng, who had been full of enthusiasm and thought he was possessed by Conan, had become bored and dozed off.

Yu Nu is still persisting.

Having lost almost all of her bloodline power in an instant, Yu Nu's face was as pale as snow, and her originally rosy lips had lost their color, and were stained red by the blood flowing from her bitten lips as she gritted her teeth to persevere.

After drawing out the last bit of his bloodline power, Yu Nu swayed precariously, realizing how naive he had been to actually believe a mortal's lies and have such high hopes that the Sea God was still alive.

In silence.

"After all these years, how can you still be so stupid, Fifth Sister?"
