Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 230

Chapter 230: Chapter 228: Princess

It was a legend he’d heard in his childhood.

He had only ever treated it as a story.

Besides, most of the Undersea Beast Clan told it as a story for their children... It couldn’t possibly be real.

But the Mermaid King’s expression was grave.

"This prophecy is not without basis."

He began to explain slowly.

"Centuries ago, a great tremor shook the Undersea Kingdom. The seas churned, ocean trenches overflowed, and monstrous waves towered. For months on end, the North Sea World was like a cyclonic vortex—an undersea Purgatory."

"That disaster forced the old habitats of the Undersea Beast Clan to change, causing countless deaths and injuries. According to records, several clans of the Undersea Beast Clan were completely wiped out in that cataclysm, vanishing without a trace."

"It was also after that disaster subsided that a great cliff appeared on the seabed. That cliff valley materialized out of nowhere, its waters pitch-black, dividing the seafloor in two, like two separate undersea worlds."

Lan Cangyue listened, utterly astonished.

"Father, are you talking about Sea Cliff Nu?"

That Sea Cliff Nu was a forbidden place in the undersea world.

Its waters were pitch-black; you couldn’t see their source, much less the conditions on the seabed.

After every child of the Sea Clan was born, the adults would tell them that if they were playing on the seafloor and saw black water, they must not go near it.

They had to stay far away, because there were monsters in the Black Sea that ate children.

And that area of black water was called Sea Cliff Nu.

But Lan Cangyue had never imagined that Sea Cliff Nu had appeared in such a way!

The Mermaid King nodded.

"That’s right. It is Sea Cliff Nu."

"Actually, Sea Cliff Nu wasn’t its original name. After the disaster, a Divine Prophecy began to appear on the walls of the great cliff. The prophecies glowed with a golden-red light, clearly visible on the rock face. At the time, every member of the Sea Clan people believed it was an apparition of the Sea God, so they named that place the Undersea Divine Palace."

Lan Cangyue was startled. "The Undersea Divine Palace?"

’So Sea Cliff Nu is the Undersea Divine Palace from the legends I heard as a child...’

’The place actually exists.’

"Later, the golden writing in that place gradually faded. The waters of the cliff valley grew darker and darker until you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. It even began to show signs of spreading indefinitely."

"Moreover, members of the Beast Clan who accidentally wandered into the Black Sea never came out. Gradually, the Black Sea became a place the Sea Clan people feared, a man-eating sea area, and terror spread through their hearts. The Sea Clan leaders of that era, in order to find out the reason, successively dispatched navies with High-level Spiritual Power to investigate. But one after another, several teams were lost inside, never to return."

"To prevent any more tragedies, the leaders of the royal family renamed the Sea God Palace to Sea Cliff Nu, as a warning to the Sea Clan never to set foot there."

Listening to all this, Lan Cangyue finally understood the origin of the legend of Sea Cliff Nu.

’So it wasn’t just some baseless rumor.’

’It was all actually recorded history.’

As the Mermaid King spoke, he looked at him with a grave expression.

"This matter is recorded in the historical scrolls of the royal family, and only those of direct royal blood can open them. See for yourself."

With that, the Mermaid King waved his hand, and a swirling vortex of water droplets materialized before Lan Cangyue.

Lan Cangyue saw several thick historical tomes floating inside and reached out to take them.

The cover bore the insignia of the Mermaid Royal Family. They were truly the royal annals, not some fabrication.

Opening one, he found it truly did record the occurrence of the disaster and the origin of Sea Cliff Nu.

He didn’t read in detail, closing the book.

"Even if the disaster and the story of the Sea God Palace are true, what does this have to do with Xi Xi? How could my daughter fulfill some prophecy of the Sea God..."

Right now, he was only worried about Xi Xi, only anxious for her safety.

He didn’t want to care about anything else.

If something happened to his precious daughter because of some damned prophecy of their Sea Clan, how would he ever explain it to Shen Yue?

He knew better than anyone how much Shen Yue doted on Xi Xi...

He was afraid that Shen Yue would be so angry she’d want to kill him!
