Their development … was indeed successful.
Therefore, Atlan had become a legend in this world.
In their city, as long as you looked up, you could see countless schools of fish. When you looked down, you could see streets made of seaweed. Colorful corals were often used as the roofs of various buildings. Different sea creatures shuttled through the streets.
For the land creatures, this kingdom was like a dream.
And the most eye-catching thing here was the palace in the center.
It was much taller than the other buildings around it. The main structure was made of rocks and some similar metal structures.
This made it look like it was shining in the sea. In front of the palace gate, there was a bridge made of a huge whale skeleton. Many killer whales wandered around the bridge.
The killer whales were frequent visitors here. The killer whales would help Atlan hunt and drive away the dangerous sea monsters, and Atlan would give them food. These creatures and Atlan had reached a symbiotic relationship.
This sea kingdom was no longer influenced by any strange sects. The Atlan people continued to develop their technology and created special underwater machines. They used electricity and other energy sources, making this underwater city very bright at all times.
The planned consumption of the resources in the sea also made it so that they would not have a shortage of food. Because there was no overhunting, the schools of fish above the city never decreased. At the same time, they also invented the 'sea freezing technology', which could efficiently store a large amount of food.
With abundant materials, Atlan also began to develop entertainment. The cubs usually liked to play in the seaweed forest. When they grew up, they would go to the giant seaweed forest near the city to explore.
Occasionally, they would be entangled by the giant seaweed to death. This was the disadvantage of this entertainment.
When they grew up, they would participate in exploration activities, explore the surrounding deep sea, or look for land and so on.
They only believed in one sea god, and their civilization had developed to become stronger than before.
At this time, they were not only expanding their kingdom, but also increasing the number of explorers. Some were even trying to return to land.
If they really went to land and built a kingdom, the history of the entire Ershi would be completely different.
But their civilization did not always go smoothly.
At some point, they suddenly noticed that the schools of fish above the city began to decrease, and those large sea creatures ….. no longer appeared.
Atlan noticed … that something strange was happening here.
The seabed began to shake continuously, and the number of microorganisms in the water began to decrease. In order to investigate the situation, they quickly studied what was going on.
Soon, the Atlans discovered something. This was the effect of the nearby underwater volcano. A large area of the sea was shaking because of it, and the water was filled with harmful substances.
However, they also discovered a more serious problem. There was more than one underwater volcano.
There were many similar volcanoes around their countries. It was as if they were all 'activated' at the same time. It started with three consecutive outbursts.
The kingdom of Atlan was finally destroyed in a violent explosion, and the civilization they had built disappeared as well.
However, they did not go extinct.
Many Atlan had left during the disaster, and just like before, they went to other places to find a place to settle down.
There was a group of Atlans who planned to head to the lightless depths of the deep sea and reach the gigantic trench to continue their lives …
The story of the oceanic Atlan came to an end. Did they eventually develop in the deep sea? There was no detailed description in the legends.
However, it was worth mentioning that there was another group of Atlans ….. They developed in other places.
This group of Atlans was part of the original group of Atlans who planned to live in the sea. At that time, they quarreled with their companions and parted ways. Different from their companions. They began to move closer to the surface of the sea.
Then, for a relatively long period of time, they lived an uncertain life, and their population slowly increased.
However, the increase stopped after a certain extent. This kind of life could not allow them to develop stably.
In the end, this group of Atlans decided to move to land. Their bodies could still live on land, but they needed a very humid environment, and they could not be too far away from the water.
And the place they went to was an island, so there was not much of a problem.
Then, they began to develop on land. They developed in the same way as before, building houses made of rocks, and mainly catching fish and growing a small number of plants as resources.
They slowly developed and built a city on the island. After a long period of development, the city also had the scale of the former Atlan Kingdom.
But this group of Atlans began to have a new faith, and at the same time, they changed their name to 'Lemuria'. As for why they did that, there seemed to be no detailed information.
It was generally believed that they wanted to forget their past, forget the kingdom that was bewitched by the church and then destroyed in the disaster.
So, this new civilization also slowly developed. Some of them explorers left the city and went to other continents.
As for the Atlans who encountered disasters in the sea, it seemed that some of them later returned to land and built cities.
However, all of these became legends in the end. Among the later Ershi residents, the things about the Atlans were just stories.
Were they still on Ershi?
No creature knew the answer.
… …..
"I think many creatures know, including you."
This was a white space, and in front of Rin was a slowly rotating Ershi ball.
Rin had just finished a journey about the history of the Atlans. The reason for the end was … Rin's character's lifespan was up.
She should have lived for almost 300 Ershi years, much longer than the previous Atlans, so Rin's character was even regarded as the Sea God herself.
Of course, most of the time was skipped by Rin, but she could still clearly know how long had passed.
And her appearance did not age. Rin thought that this character would not die at all, and she could always observe the development of the Atlans.
But in fact, it looked like she would die. Decades before her death, Rin felt that her character's body began to weaken. Although her appearance did not change, her body was indeed weakening.
Later on, she slowly became unable to move, so she had to rely on a large group of Atlan to take care of her. Because Lin's character was aging, the Atlan also seemed to be very anxious. They tried to find a lot of treatment methods, but they were all useless.
Although the Atlans had developed a considerable amount of technology at that time, they were still unable to modify the nuclear information to increase her lifespan.
And then, Rin's character ended just like that. Nothing special happened at that time.
However, when Rin returned to this white space with the Ershi ball, it told Rin a lot of things that happened after that.
It seemed that after that, the Atlans encountered another disaster and were destroyed, but some of the Atlans left behind tried to rebuild.
At the same time, the Ershi ball also said that there were many disasters in Ershi during that period, and many creatures went extinct because of them …
But the Atlans did not go extinct, but the Ershi ball did not say what happened to them after that.
According to the various legends and information on Mars, it was possible that the Atlans never developed, or that they developed under the sea but did not try to develop on land. The Ershi residents did not fully explore the sea, so they did not discover the Atlans under the sea.
However, it was possible that some of the Atlans went up to the land and taught some of the Ershi residents who were still in their primitive state.
And so, the story ended just like that …
But then, Rin's historical journey also ended just like that?
The other Atlan that connected to this space also ended in the same way. Its lifespan was also up, but it reached its end earlier than Rin, so it could no longer connect to this space.
And after Rin's journey ended, she came to this white space, which meant that the Ershi ball must have something to tell her.
However, the Ershi ball only told Rin about the history of the Atlans, and it was not complete, so it did not continue.
Earlier, it said that it wanted to tell her its current location, but it seemed like it did not want to do so now. It said that Rin could find out about the Ershi ball's location through historical observation, but Rin didn't find anything special.
"Aren't you going to say anything else?"
With that in mind, Rin asked. Of course, the Ershi ball was still spinning slowly, so it did not say anything else.
But it did not let Rin leave this place just like that.
The other Atlans that connected to this space would forcefully leave after it ended and would not be able to connect to this space again. But Rin was different.
This was obviously the result of the crystal's adjustment. The crystal had recorded the information of the Atlans that connected to this space.
It also had a special purpose for placing Rin here. If it did not say anything, Rin would have to investigate on her own.
Fortunately, Rin had more or less understood everything now. She had a detailed understanding of the various functions of the tiny devices inside the small crystal, and she knew what each part of it was used for.
Ershi used such a tiny device to display the detailed history of the Atlans. Rin could now make some adjustments to the internal structure of the crystal, but she did not do so.
Because Rin discovered that the crystal was not just a device that operated according to instructions.
Rin believed that there were some … devices inside that possessed a certain degree of intelligence and could communicate with one another. (To be continued.)
