"This is unfair. I won't accept this! Why? To gain more power, I endured humiliation and suffered so much!"
Hearing the professor's words, Philip said, "If others are better than you, it can only mean that they paid a higher
price."
As Philip spoke, the green threads of life essence wrapped around the professor.
The professor's body was cut to pieces by the green threads of life essence.
Seeing this scene, the professor had already given up. He knew that he had no chance, and his body returned to
normal size. However, his face was full of indignity.
"Others paid a higher price? For the merfolk, I turned myself into this monster today, but I never saw the slightest
hint of ambition from them. Is that my fault too?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt the professor's question, Philip said, "Of course, it's your fault. The merfolk never shared your ambition from the
beginning."
After saying this, Philip tied the professor with the green silk threads.
In a few seconds, the professor was gone. After he died, a stiff octopus carcass fell to the sand in the water. Seeing
this, the spirit bodies rushed forward.
This surprised Philip very much because the spirits were not trying to take over the octopus' body but injecting part
of their energy into the carcass instead.
"What are you guys doing?" Philip asked, frowning.
The old man among the spirits smiled at Philip and said, "We're leaving a seed for you in the ancient ruins, of
course."
'A seed?' Philip was even more puzzled.
At this moment, all the spirits smiled at Philip from the bottom of their hearts.
"To tell you the truth, the underwater ancient ruins haven't been occupied by other underwater creatures for such a
long time because of our existence!"
The old man had just finished speaking when another spirit emerged from the crowd.
"We have been looking for a suitable successor for the underground ancient ruins. Today, we found one, and it's
you!"
As they injected their power into the octopus carcass, the stiff body became soft and took root in the underwater
sand like a plant.
It grew into a red spider lily.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPhilip glanced at it and found this scene to be somewhat familiar. In his memory, this flower was said to grow in the
netherworld.
Looking at the blooming flower, all the spirits said with satisfaction, "Finally, we've fulfilled the wish of the mighty
being and planted a red spider lily in the ancient ruins."
That mighty being's wish?
Philip's eyes lit up.
"That mighty being you're talking about..."
However, before Philip could finish asking, all the spirits entered the flower and disappeared before Philip's eyes.
Philip sighed. If he had asked the question when he saw the red spider lily, he would have gotten the answer by
now.
He was too late.
For a red spider lily to bloom here, it meant that the person who left the ancient ruins behind had a close
relationship with the world he came from.
