Philip was briefly startled before he felt a tremendous life force spreading through his body.
The source of life that was in Philip's stomach seemed to have found its home. It promptly entered the merman's
heart.
The old king said with a smile, "The professor wanted to make use of me because of this heart. Now that I've given
it to you, I hope you won't let me down... Also, in the ancient ruins are the things left behind by the mighty being..."
As the old king spoke, his skin started turning gray. That was the harbinger of his death.
Finally, he closed his eyes and floated up with the current.
Seeing this scene, the princess could no longer bear it.

Philip sighed. It seemed that he had no other choice but to bring the merfolk kingdom back to its feet now, but the
old king did not make things very clear before.
What exactly existed in the ruins?
Which mighty being was he referring to?
Looking at the merfolk, Philip felt he had his work cut out for him.
After all, he could only provide external help. If the merfolk could not buck up and work for it, everything would be
in vain.
To Philip's surprise, after seeing the old king, the princess seemed to be a different person.
"Mr. Clarke, please take us into the ancient ruins. Only you can help us now," the princess said seriously.
Philip nodded. However, he also knew that there must be a reason why the octopus professor did not enter the
ancient ruins recklessly.
Although he took the risk to activate one of the magic circles in the ancient ruins earlier and nothing happened, he
was just lucky.
Philip could not guarantee that he would be so lucky every time.
"It's not impossible to enter the ancient ruins, but I want to make things clear before that. These ancient ruins
should be left by a mighty being, so I can't guarantee your safety."
When Philip fought the professor in the ancient ruins earlier, they did not enter the depths.
They only remained on the edge. Bringing these merpeople into the ancient ruins now held a different significance.

Philip wanted to ensure that these merpeople could survive inside for a long time and have a certain opportunity to
recover without being disturbed by other underwater creatures.
The princess turned to the merfolk of the merfolk kingdom and said, "All of you should have heard that clearly.
From now on, anyone willing to follow me into the ancient ruins and acknowledge me as the princess can come
along with me..."
"If anyone wants to leave the merfolk kingdom, I won't force you to stay. If you don't want me to be the princess
anymore, you can choose another candidate after we enter the ancient ruins and settle down."
The princess seemed to be a different person. She was firm and resolute and carried the bearing of someone
superior. It was poles apart from her previous cowardice and indecisiveness.
Seeing her change, Philip smiled. He knew that the princess had grown up.
