The emperor slowly began to recount this ancient legend to the crowd.

Legend has it that at the dawn of creation, the sky shattered into countless fragments of stars, each containing the secrets of creation and boundless power. Among them was a fragment that emitted a deep blue light, as if it contained the profound depths and dynamism of the entire ocean; it fell from the heavens to the mortal world.

The ancestors of the Great Fish Kingdom stumbled upon this fragment in a secluded valley of a sacred mountain. It was a palm-sized, rhomboid crystal with an incredibly smooth surface, yet seemingly containing subtle, hidden patterns within, as if engraved with the primordial code of the universe. Its texture was neither gold nor jade; it was cool to the touch, yet could emit intense heat at certain moments.

The fragment emitted a ghostly blue light, a light as deep and captivating as a whirlpool in the ocean, or as brilliant and mysterious as the brightest star in the night sky. When its magic was at its peak, the light would spread outward like a surging tide, distorting space and slowing the flow of time wherever it reached.

During their use, the ancestors of the Great Fish Kingdom discovered the unusual nature of this fragment. Not only was its shape peculiar, but it also possessed the magical ability to manipulate the forces of nature.

When a country suffers from drought, as long as the guardians pray fervently to the fragments, the fragments will instantly release a ghostly blue halo. Wherever the halo reaches, thick dark clouds will quickly gather in the sky, followed by a downpour of sweet rain. The parched land will be instantly irrigated, withered crops will be revitalized, and rivers will rush and sing joyfully, as if the entire natural world is responding swiftly under the command of the fragments' magic.

It also possesses the miraculous power to heal injuries and illnesses. Whether it is a soldier who is seriously wounded and on the verge of death on the battlefield, or a civilian suffering from a serious disease, as long as they are brought to the temple where the fragment is located, under the soft blue light, their wounds will heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, their pain will be slowly drawn away by a pair of invisible hands, their bodily functions will gradually recover, and their weak lives will become vibrant and powerful again.

The fragments possess a magical power to understand people's hearts. When a nation faces conflict and choices, the guardian gently places their hand on the fragments, and the true thoughts and desires of the people will emerge in their mind. This allows them to accurately judge right and wrong, make the fairest decisions that align with the long-term interests of the nation, and ensure that the Great Fish Kingdom maintains stability and prosperity amidst complex situations.

"It is because of the protection of the totem fragment that the Great Fish Kingdom enjoys a peaceful and harmonious life today. The ancestors of the Great Fish Kingdom changed their surname to Lan and used the Great Fish totem on the fragment as the guardian totem of the country, praying for favorable weather and national prosperity."

"This is a secret that our Great Fish Kingdom's royal family has always guarded. This totem fragment is of paramount importance to our Great Fish Kingdom, and we must not allow any mishaps. That is why it has always been a royal secret and has never been told to outsiders." The emperor let out a long sigh of relief, looked at Hua Yu, and showed a conflicted expression. It seemed that the emperor was still hiding something from everyone.

"After a night of bloodshed and carnage, everyone must be exhausted. Go back and rest early. I am tired too." With that, he left the palace and headed towards the side hall.

Everyone left the palace, leaving only the Imperial Guards to clean up the mess. The palace intrigue had thus come to an end, and the night grew deeper, covering the Great Fish Kingdom.

In the Hua Mansion, Hua Yu lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. She was thinking about the legend the Emperor of the Great Fish Kingdom had told her that evening, how to obtain this totem fragment, and whether the Great Fish Kingdom would be destroyed if she took it. What should she do? Hua Yu was filled with doubts and couldn't sleep for a long time. Tossing and turning in bed, she finally summoned Little Zha.

"Little scum, little scum, come out quickly." A transparent panel appeared in Hua Yu's mind.

The panel glowed and replied, "Host, I'm here. Is there anything urgent that's happening so late?"

"Quickly help me find out where the sacred mountain of the Great Fish Kingdom is, and where the totem fragment is. How can I get this fragment?" Hua Yu asked several questions in a row, her expression becoming increasingly anxious.

"Host, please don't be anxious. Please remain calm and allow me to sense the energy field of this fragment first," Little Scum said unhurriedly. It then quickly opened the panel in front of it and automatically activated the energy source search function. With a soft buzzing sound, various data and images began to flash on the screen.

Not long after, Xiao Zha suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Host, I found it! After careful detection and analysis, the source of this powerful energy is indeed from the royal tomb of the Great Fish Kingdom. However..." At this point, Xiao Zha paused slightly, seemingly hesitant about whether to continue.

"But what? Stop keeping me in suspense!" Hua Yu, who was standing to the side, could no longer contain her eagerness and urged her on.

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Zha slowly explained, "This royal tomb is not easy to find. It is cleverly hidden on a towering mountain peak. Moreover, it is protected by a tight array, and with my current abilities, I cannot see the details inside."

Hearing this, Hua Yu frowned and fell into deep thought. After a moment, she looked up and asked Xiao Zha again, "If that's the case, how exactly can we enter this mysterious sacred mountain? Isn't there any other feasible way?"

Faced with Hua Yu's barrage of questions, Xiao Zha remained calm and replied in its cold, mechanical voice, "According to the existing records, if you want to successfully enter the sacred mountain where this royal tomb is located, you probably need permission from the royal family. Therefore, in my opinion, host, you might as well go to the palace of the Great Fish Kingdom and ask His Majesty for permission to enter the mountain to explore."

Xiao Zha's words struck Hua Yu like a heavy hammer. She knew that seeking an audience with the emperor would be fraught with difficulties, but in order to find that crucial fragment of energy, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and give it a try.

“Holy Mountain, fragments, Emperor…” Hua Yu was once again confused.

However, Hua Yu was exhausted from all the events that had happened tonight. She had no energy left to think about how to ask the emperor for help tomorrow. All she knew was that her eyelids were drooping and she couldn't resist the drowsiness, so she fell into a deep sleep.

"I wonder if the host will be able to enter the Holy Mountain smoothly tomorrow, and whether he will be able to obtain the fragments of the Mysterious Heaven Mirror?" Little Zha gradually dimmed the light on the panel and drifted off to sleep.
