Chapter 1084 - The Outside World Had Become So Terrifying After A Thousand Years?!

Deep in the sea, the light was getting dimmer. A figure was piercing downward like an arrow.

That black water barrier had already appeared in Gina’s vision. This was her first time seeing the exterior of the water barrier that sealed Lantisde in.

“Actually, Lantisde is so small, and the world outside is so big…” Gina said to herself. She used her hand to protect the piece of paper at her chest and collided with the barrier, clenching her trident.

The barrier vibrated and sank downward like a balloon. Eventually, an opening was torn open.

Gina went through it. She turned and looked at the barrier that was already restored with a surprised expression.

I succeeded!

The cursed barrier that the merfolk at Lantisde couldn’t go through for so many years was easily penetrated by her. As expected, the barrier lost its effect once she gained the ability to breathe on land.

The merfolk who were fishing nearby the barrier saw a sudden vibration on the barrier before a figure came through it. Their mouths were agape with astonishment as they rushed to hide.

Someone quickly recognized Gina, and exclaimed, “It’s Princess Gina!”

“Princess Gina is back!”

“She actually passed through the Cursed Wall! Did she find the Chosen One?”

The news of Gina embarking on her journey to search for the Chosen One had already spread throughout Lantisde. Lantisde’s hopes were all pinned on her.

The merfolk quickly connected the dots when they saw Gina came through the wall. Jubilation could be seen on their faces.

“Yes. I am back.”

Gina kept the trident away before transforming into a beam of light and swam downward to the capital, Ivo City.

“Gina!”

In the great hall, the high priest opened his eyes suddenly as an image of Gina appeared on the surface of the crystal ball in front of him.

Did she find the way to go through the seal? The high priest’s murky eyes brightened up instantly, and his hands began to shake uncontrollably.

“Princess Gina is back!”

Cheers soon reverberated throughout the capital. The merfolk looked at the flash of light that was slowly approaching and cheered ecstatically.

The news of the Nether Sharks’ massive invasion had already spread throughout the capital city. Pessimistic and desperate sentiments were spreading. The sudden return of Gina was like a boost to the heart, and Ivo City erupted in cheers.

“Gina is back! There is hope for Lantisde!” In the palace, the king heard the cheers outside. He stood up immediately and swam outward excitedly.

Gina… My child, you are finally back. Happiness flashed across the queen’s face as she followed the king and swam out of the hall.

The rainbow flash stopped gradually on the altar. Gina kept her fishtail and stood on the altar with both her legs. She smiled as she looked at her people surrounding the altar.

The merfolk looked at Gina with elation, but when their gazes landed on her strange clothes, their expression became those of curiosity.

Different from their clothes which were made from seashells and seaweeds, the clothes on the Princess looked more sophisticated. They were not things that could be found in Lantisde.

A dim light flashed and the high priest in black robes appeared on the altar.

“High Priest.” Gina bowed and greeted him respectfully.

The merfolk surrounding the altar also bowed and greeted him respectfully.

“Their Majesties, the king and the queen!” Another loud announcement sounded, and everyone immediately parted to create a path. The king and queen swiftly arrived onto the altar.

“My Royal Father and Mother.”

Gina bowed respectfully again, and the rest of the merfolk followed suit.

The high priest stared at Gina for a moment before he asked in his hoarse voice, “Gina, have you met the Chosen One? Have you learned how to breathe on land?”

Everyone looked at Gina with intense anticipation. This was of utmost importance to Lantisde!

The fate of Lantisde could change totally because of that!

Even the king and queen were filled with anticipation.

Gina nodded vigorously. “Yes. I have met the Chosen One, Mr. Mag. He saved me and made the miracle drug that gave me the ability to breathe on land. Also, I could pass the cursed barrier directly without any obstruction.”

“The Chosen One!”

“Miracle Drug!”

Commotion erupted among the merfolk, who were all very agitated.

The king stepped forward and agitatedly asked, “Gina, did you bring back the miracle drug? Where is the Chosen One now?”

“Yes. Mr. Mag gifted me with a lot of miracle drugs. The beautiful Miss Elizabeth lent me the space magic ring which allowed me to bring all the miracle drug back.” Gina nodded and raised the space magic ring on her hand. She pondered for a while before she waved her fingers, and created a space without water by pushing the water away. Then, she activated the space magic ring, and emptied all the mud casing out.

The mud casing gleaming with a golden light resembled mysterious eggshells. All the merfolks’ eyes lit up.

“This is the miracle drug that could lift the curse from our people? Is it the eggshell from a sacred beast?” The high priest stepped forward and stared at the mud casing in the hydrophobic space with a gleam in his eyes as if he was looking at the most precious treasure.

Generations of high priests had striven for a millennium to lift the curse from the merfolk, but they had all failed.

And now, the antidote was right in front of him, within his reach.

The world beyond the barrier was no longer far away.

The merfolk’s gazes were reverent and desperate. This was the hope for Lantisde.

“No. They are made by Mr. Mag. Although there indeed is a very delicious chicken underneath the shell, it certainly isn’t a sacred beast, because many people were eating one of them every day and discarding the shell straight away.” Gina shook her head.

“Hisss…”

The sound of sharp breaths being drawn immediately rang out as the merfolk stared at Gina in disbelief. Even the high priest’s expression was frozen on his face.

“The people outside are already so extravagant?” the king said with a grim expression. “Are their powers horrifyingly strong now?”

“I’ve already met five 10th-tier powerhouses at Mr. Mag’s. Two of them will come to the restaurant for their meals every day. Mr. Mag’s restaurant has a server, Miss Elizabeth, who is an 8th-tier Frost Dragon. There is also a 7th-tier spatial magic caster, Miss Babla. Mr. Mag’s four-year-old daughter, Amy, is already a 6th-tier magic caster,” Gina answered after a moment of thought.

“This…”

Shock flashed across the high priest’s face.

The altar’s surroundings were in complete silence, and fear could be seen on all the merfolk’s faces.

“A four-year-old 6th-tier magic caster. The outside world had become so terrifying after a thousand years?!” the king said in a trembling voice.
