"We will establish an underwater civilization here!"
This was an area under the ocean, an area rich in life forms. Large areas of corals formed a colourful underwater forest. All sorts of creatures were moving about. And in the middle of all this … … was a stone building.
The building was more than 20 meters tall and had a square structure. There were some strange creatures wandering around the building.
However, compared to Lin, they were more 'normal'.
"I didn't think you would come here to guide us. This is great."
Now, before Lin was … … a creature that could be called a 'marine Atlan'.
When Lin and the group of killer whales came here, they quickly found the first 'settlement' of the sea dwelling project. There were already quite a few Atlan here.
These Atlan … … had indeed completed their 'aquatic form'. However, there was a big difference between them and Lin.
First of all, they maintained most of their Atlan appearance. Their limbs were still there. At first glance, they did not appear to have changed much. Only when they got closer could they see the changes …
These Atlan's fingers and toes were longer than before. There were also structures on them that could be called 'webbing'. Originally, Atlan moved very slowly in the water. Now, however, they moved much faster.
At the same time, their body hair had completely disappeared. With the exception of the hair on their heads, their skin had become smoother, much like a sea creature …
However, they could not be considered as' pure 'sea creatures.
Like whales, these marine Atlan did not have the ability to breathe underwater. They had to go to the air regularly to take in oxygen.
However, their respiratory organs had undergone a great change. Every time they breathed, they would be able to store oxygen for a long time. Additionally, there was something different when they ate.
According to them … They could eat underwater and use other methods to remove excess water from their bodies. They could also adapt to the deeper water pressure.
It had to be said that they had changed very quickly. They should be like 'rock skin', rapidly changing their form under the influence of microorganisms.
The Atlan believed that their 'ancestors' had come to land from the water in this manner.
Regarding this, it was a very vague statement. Lin believed that they would be like rock skin. If they lived here for a long time, they would continue to change.
Right now, their appearances had basically not changed, but in the next few generations, they should continue to change …
When they saw Lin, they thought that Lin was the God of the Sea's messenger, just like Atlan. However, they also knew Lin and knew that Lin was playing the role of the king's child, so they thought that Lin was here to 'lead' them.
Thus, Lin easily joined them. Moreover, Lin had already lived here for … three days and nights.
Lin was currently swimming slowly above the corals with a 'guard' following beside her. It had always been here to protect Lin.
After all, they still treated Lin as a member of the royal family. There were also a few other guards swimming around the area. Other than them, the other Atlans in the area were carrying out the construction project of the 'underwater civilization'.
There were more than sixty Atlans in this group, more than what Lin had imagined. Among them was an Atlan who had joined from the outside to experience history.
This location was already very far away from Atlan's island city, but it was not clear if it would be affected by the disaster.
After all, they didn't know how strong the disaster would be …
Now. The Atlans mainly revolved around a single building.
This building was said to have been here for a long time, and it was evidence that their 'ancestors' were sea creatures.
This building was indeed quite amazing. The whole structure was made of a structure similar to coral bones. Although it was damaged, it was repaired by the Atlans.
However, there were no Atlans living in it. The building was mainly used to store all kinds of food.
They wanted to grow food here like they did on the ground, and even wanted to raise all kinds of fish creatures, and then add to the building. They wanted to slowly transform this place into an underwater city.
Their way of life … reminded Lin of the Skeleton Dragons that lived in the water, so Lin felt that she could indeed … 'lead' them.
Just like that, Lin's character lived in this place, and as the leader of this group of Atlans, she guided them on how to live underwater.
Although Lin looked different from them, they didn't suspect Lin. However, none of them were suspicious of Lin. Lin found that they were quite obedient, just like a group of elites.
So, Lin told them how the Skeleton Dragons lived underwater, but she didn't go into too much detail. Most of the time, she let them develop on their own.
And their own comprehension ability was also very strong.
In order to have a larger area for planting, they migrated to the edge of the coral reef, and beyond the edge was a vast … underwater wasteland.
In the wasteland, they planted a large number of marine plants. These plants were called … water vegetables by the Atlans. It seemed that they weren't very good at naming things.
However, there was nothing special about that … The roots of marine plants were only used for fixation. They basically absorbed nutrients from the water, which was why the Atlans would collect 'fertilizers' from the coral reefs and sprinkle them on the 'fields' of aquatic plants.
These fertilizers included corpses and other things. Under their efforts, the water vegetables grew steadily.
As long as they grew, the water vegetables could basically be eaten directly. Previously, this group of Atlans preferred to eat cooked food, and the main method of cooking food was still using crystals.
They brought a lot of crystals here, but slowly, they began to prefer eating raw food … but this group of Atlans didn't just abandon the crystals. They even tried to use the crystals to create some devices.
For example, the oxygen generating device that Lin suggested to them. This way, they could stay in the water all the time and didn't have to swim to the surface to breathe.
Of course, they also used some methods to store oxygen underwater, but these methods didn't last long. It was better to directly create oxygen.
Their crystals couldn't directly create oxygen, but they could be used as a power source for mechanical devices …
During the time she lived here, Lin also found that this place was indeed very good. Not only was there a huge amount of coral reefs, but there were also very few dangerous marine creatures that came near. There were only some carnivorous creatures that were not bigger than the Atlans.
The most dangerous time … was when Lin saw a large group of creatures called 'pseudo-killer whales' approaching here. Although pseudo-killer whales had this name, they were very different from real killer whales. They were completely black and were about half the length of a real killer whale.
Of course, they were also carnivorous creatures. The attack of these creatures … led to the death of several Atlans.
After that, the Atlans discovered the importance of population size. They believed that they needed more offspring.
So, they began to increase the population size.
Lin also suggested this, but they didn't seem to be very willing at first. They were basically reluctant to do this kind of thing, but for some reason …
But now it was different.
From then on, Lin also found that the process of observing history seemed to have been 'sped up'.
For example, when Lin woke up from her sleep, she would find that several days had passed. Of course, the things around her would also develop for several days.
But the aquatic Atlans here had a very normal attitude towards Lin. From what they knew, Lin didn't sleep for several days in a row. Instead, during these days, they did things according to Lin's' personality '.
Seeing this, Lin felt that the history here had developed to a 'stable' stage. So now, Lin would automatically skip the time when nothing special happened. This way, she could quickly observe the development of the Atlans.
Later on, Lin found that it was just as Lin thought. Every time she slept, she would skip some time. And during this time, there was basically nothing important.
When Lin woke up, there might not necessarily be anything important happening … so she couldn't be sure of the pattern of skipping time.
However, Lin also found that nothing important would be missed.
After waking up, Lin found that the Atlans were cheering. They had succeeded in creating something.
Something that could be called a 'machine'.
Although these machines were relatively simple, they no longer needed to get oxygen from the sea …
Then, Lin skipped some time after that. The Atlans were keen on studying the technology of machines. But …
Once, after Lin had woken up, something big had happened.
It felt like there was an unusually strong explosion in the distance. The place suddenly trembled like an earthquake.
The coral jungle here collapsed as a result. But the main problem was not the earthquake.
Not long after the tremor … a large amount of dust and poisonous substances drifted over from the distance. These substances quickly covered the place.
Many of the creatures had left, and the rest had died here.
And the Atlans belonged to the group that left.
Their plants could no longer be planted, and there was no way to maintain their lives here. So, they took the remaining resources and began to move to other parts of the sea. They decided to find another place where they could build a city.
It was obvious … a disaster had happened.
It felt like an island had exploded. This phenomenon affected a large area of the sea nearby.
Therefore, the Atlans couldn't find a suitable place to live for a long time.
Along the way, they could only rely on catching some creatures with strong vitality but few nutrients as food.
During this journey, the Atlans slowly moved to the deep sea area. During this process … they encountered many things. (To be continued …)
