Chapter 415: The Legend of Poseidon
In the hotel, Xiao Lin opened up Gu Chengyun’s drawing and studied it, but it was still hard to determine what the pitch black sea was hiding just from that drawing.
“Oh…”
A drawn out sigh was suddenly heard behind him, and Xiao Lin jumped in fright, deftly turning around and adopting a defensive stance. He saw Silverlight, who had been missing for many days, floating in the air, causing him to pause. His immediate response was to check if the door was locked; if someone walked in at that moment, he would probably appear on the news headlines the next day.
Silverlight had never come out during the time Xiao Lin had been on Earth, and Xiao Lin had no way to call for her. The two of them were only working together, so Silverlight decided herself when she wanted to come out.
“I told you the last time, stop coming out so suddenly. You’ll scare me to death!” Xiao Lin cursed.
The white-robed woman ignored his cursing, going straight to the table to look at the drawing. Her beautiful silver eyes looked on quietly with a complicated expression.
Xiao Lin asked curiously, “You know Hawaii?”

Xiao Lin was surprised this time, because Silverlight used Mandarin to say the words.
Before that, they had always conversed in Ancient Normese. Even if Xiao Lin’s Ancient Normese was quite decent nowadays, he was still unable to understand some of the deeper meanings.
“Learning a language is nothing hard for me,” Silverlight rolled her eyes, saying calmly. “I’d been listening to you talk with others these two days. Remembering the vocabulary makes things very easy to understand. Is it really that hard?”
Listening to her fluent Mandarin, Xiao Lin was speechless, but it did make things a lot easier.
Silverlight obviously did not know what Hawaii was, but she pointed at the blurry gray area in the dark sea with a serious expression. “If I’m not mistaken, this is a mark of a Guardian, but I can’t be sure with just this drawing.”
“A Guardian?”
Silverlight breathed in a deep breath, looking away from the drawing as she closed her eyes reminiscing. “I don’t know how much is left of Atlantis on this world. How much do you know about Atlantis’s origins?”
Xiao Lin shook his head.
Silverlight continued, “From what I had seen before in the archives, the founding king of Atlantis was the sea god of the time: Poseidon. At the time, there were many temples worshiping Poseidon on the mainlands, and Atlantis’s strength came from the sea god’s power to some degree, but its final destruction was also…”
She shook her head and stopped at that point. Xiao Lin had tried to research Atlantis before, but all that was left on Earth were only legends.
Xiao Lin half-jokingly said, “I heard that there was a parentless girl on a small island who was taken as a bride by Poseidon, giving birth to five sets of twins. Poseidon then divided the island into ten parts, giving each child one to rule over, and the eldest child was to be the highest ruler. Since the eldest was called Atlas, the country was named Atlantis. Is that right?”
“Correct, and incorrect.” Silverlight did not react to Xiao Lin’s joking as she continued, “What you need to know is that Atlantis has a very close relationship with Poseidon. Poseidon would never reveal himself as the sea god, but back then, there were guards that belonged to Poseidon in the sea, which we called the God’s Guardians.”
Silverlight pointed to the grayed out land, saying, “I’m still not very sure. If this drawing is real, I wish to see it.”
“Can you see what’s happening outside while you’re in the ring?”
“Basically.”
“You were spying then.” The corner of Xiao Lin’s lips twitched. If that was the case, Silverlight definitely understood Gu Chengyu’s situation, which was why she wanted to see the place the drawing depicted.
“Don’t worry, I cut off my senses whenever it’s inconvenient for you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Wait wait wait, what do you mean when it’s inconvenient. Do you spy on me every day?!”
Silverlight remained expressionless. “I think you’d better get me to the place quickly. If we don’t make it in time, the world might actually revisit the tragedy of my old homeland!”
Xiao Lin immediately shut up. His eyes were wide as he said in disbelief, “Hold on, revisit? Atlantis’s tragedy? Are you saying the Earth will drown?!”
Silverlight’s cold voice sounded even more terrifying, “Do you think Poseidon was only the god of the sea for show? He controlled the world’s seas and typhoons. Poseidon has a taste for invasion and an extreme sense of ambition. The torrential rain is already an act of mercy; if we don’t do anything and allow him to regain his strength, I won’t be able to stop anything he plans on doing in the future.”
“Does Poseidon really exist? Isn’t that just a legend?” Xiao Lin was uncertain, but Silverlight did not look like she was joking, nor did that woman whose homeland had been drowned have a reason to lie. No matter what, Earth was her homeland as well.
“I’m only a myth on Planet Norma as well; myths and legends are usually born from truth. I don’t know how many legends Earth has right now, but I can tell you frankly, the sea god Poseidon definitely existed in history!”
“So you’re saying that Poseidon created Atlantis and also destroyed it. What about later? Where did Poseidon go? I don’t know about ancient history, but I know that there hasn’t been anyone like that in recent history.” Xiao Lin’s history had been quite good when he was in university. Poseidon definitely did not exist in Chinese or global history.
Silverlight shook her head. “I left for Planet Norma, but I know that a few people wanted to seal Poseidon before I left. I don’t know the results, but since the world is still peaceful, then they probably succeeded.
Xiao Lin paced around, speculating, “Which means that for some reason, the seal back then has been loosened, which is why this torrential rain has happened. Poseidon actually wants to submerge the world into the sea and rule over it?”
Silverlight pursed her lips. “I’m only speculating, so we need to get to the scene to see for sure!”
“Let me report it to the higher-ups from the academy first. No matter what, things will be much easier if they show up.” Xiao Lin muttered to himself.
“We won’t make it in time.”
