"Gu Pan...fish?"
Long Xi opened his eyes in the deep sea and looked at the faint moonlight falling from the sky from bottom to top.
Seemingly feeling a little depressed, she emerged from the water with great skill and stood on the edge of the almost invisible platform on the seashore.
Listen to the sounds in [Searching for Immortality].
What kind of magical power is this?
Long Xi, who had never had any ups and downs in his mood, just looked at it calmly.
[You are the third princess of the Dragon King of the South China Sea. 】
[You were born with transcendent divine power. Since your birth, you have been the precious pearl in the Dragon Palace of the South China Sea. 】
[Your talent makes people sigh. You were born with enlightenment, and you can transform when you land on the ground. If you were not bound by a divine position, you might become immortal, and it might not be impossible to live forever. 】
[Success is also a god, failure is also a god. 】
[Your father therefore very much hopes that you can break free from the shackles of the divine position and seek your own path. 】
[But you have never had so many ideas, or in other words, you have never been interested in practicing. 】
[The thing you love to do most is to watch the sea at the beach, watch the tide rise and fall, and watch the sun slowly set in the sky. 】
[This is your unchanged habit for thousands of years. 】
[Your father does not understand, and your sister cannot understand your thoughts, but they have never asked about your affairs. 】
[For them, everyone has some unique interests of their own, just like some dragons are moody and like to anger all living beings, and some dragons love compliments and enjoy the admiration of mortals. Compared with them, you just like to watch the sea more. . 】
[But actually...only you know...you are observing a person. 】
【A mortal. 】
[That happened many years ago. You often saw him looking into the distance at the beach. 】
[He is busy and ordinary, and his childish face gradually becomes determined, but he never forgets to look at the sea. 】
[Later, as time passed, he slowly grew a head full of white hair and closed his eyes forever. 】
[You asked your father, he just smiled and said: "Humans... are just like mayflies. Their hundreds of years are just a blink of an eye to us."]
["Being ordinary and dying in insignificance is the fate of mortals. Are you feeling regretful?"]
[What makes you wonder is that in the tenth year after his death, traces of him appeared again in Jiangyang Fishing Village. Although he changed his name, his appearance still has many similarities. 】
[You know, this may be the reincarnation that my father once said. 】
[However, many people's reincarnations will go to different places and become different identities. The person in front of me actually reincarnated to the same position again. 】
[You think about reincarnation, reincarnation, and some issues that are difficult for you to understand. 】
[You pay attention to him silently. 】
[In the seventeenth year, in order to save a child who fell into the water, he kept tumbling in the sea. 】
[As dragons in the South China Sea, your duty is to ensure smooth weather in a place. You are not responsible for rescuing a mortal who fell into the water. However, out of curiosity about reincarnation, you chose to save him. 】
[Send him back to the shore. 】
[Your father was furious because of this. He told you angrily that the reason why God is God is that he is protected under the framework of rules. If you do something outside the rules, you will no longer be protected. The blessing of Tao. 】
[In anger, your father also seemed a little disappointed. You noticed that the divine position seemed to be a kind of protection, but also like an invisible curse. 】
["God only does things within the rules, and it is normal to stand aside and watch."]
["You just need to know that destiny cannot be violated."]
["Then why, Father, can you use your magic power...to make the southern lands have good weather...to help those mortals tide over the crisis?"]
["Because these mortals enshrine the Dragon King's tablets and temples, and only if mortals become our believers can we take action."]
[You begin to have an initial understanding of these things. 】
[The mortal who was rescued by you is grateful to you. He will come to the same position every day to look at the sea and bow gently in that direction. 】
[You suddenly find that a power you have never seen before emerges from your body. 】
[For this reason, you found your father and began to ask what this power is? 】
[And he also showed a surprised expression. Your father told you that this is the belief generated by mortals' respect for you and their gratitude to you. 】
[This is a power that can be compared with merit. 】
[Tell my father that this is the belief that came from the mortal you saved. 】
[Your father showed some hesitation. He has been in contact with mortals for a long time, and he knows better how capricious these mortals are. 】
[They may not be grateful to you. They only know how to fear gods when they receive benefits. 】
[As long as the weather is good one year and a bumper harvest is achieved, they will want a bigger harvest and a bigger harvest in the next year. If they do not get the effect they want, the incense provided to the temple will be reduced. 】
[And the Dragon King cannot always bring blessings to mortals. Only when faith reaches a certain level and consumes this faith and divine power at the same time can the magical power be used to make the earth achieve a prosperous harvest. 】
【This is conditional. 】
[Therefore, when the Dragon King does not let the mortals fill their warehouses with prosperity, they will be reviled by the mortals. Even sometimes, when encountering disasters, the mortals who believe in them will smash the temples to vent their anger, blaming themselves as gods for not protecting them. 】
[So, sometimes mortals are not grateful, but just blindly think that this is what they deserve. 】
["Belief will disappear. He will only fear you for a while, but after a few years, he will naturally forget it."]
["People are so ungrateful." Your father paused, "It's just like their usual style."]
[You didn’t pay attention to your father’s words. You became curious about the power of faith, and you seemed to have found some interest in this endless life. 】
[You are in the deep sea, just watching that mortal staring blankly towards the seaside. 】
[When he was in his thirties, he fell seriously ill and did not go out to see the sea for several days. You thought he had forgotten the deep gratitude in his heart. 】
[Until later, you didn’t know that the mortal had quietly passed away due to a serious illness. 】
["Father, doesn't a person's lifespan last a hundred years? Why is he so fragile?"]
["Because...people are people."]
【"People are so fragile."】
[He laughed and said: "Since the person is dead, his faith in you should have disappeared with everything."]
["This is human nature. When death approaches, it seems that everything can be forgiven and everything can be forgotten."]
["He will complain about why the gods he believes in didn't come to help him and why they couldn't let him survive. And all he can do is resent everything in the world. This is the incompetence of mortals."]
[You raised your hand, but the faint light was still not extinguished. "Father, look...it's still on."]
[You will never forget the shocked face of your father at that moment. 】
【Yes. 】
[That faith was not extinguished until the moment of death. 】
[But you don’t know whether that mortal will end up in the same position in the next reincarnation. 】
【And you also have the habit of looking at the sea. 】
[But you never know why he likes to watch the sea. You just follow his example and watch the sea. 】
[This is his ninth reincarnation. 】
[You know his name for the first time. 】
【Looking forward to fish. 】
