Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Well, it's similar to the paintings Jiang Bai saw in her room—very abstract, and you couldn't recognize the large blobs of paint in them as his.

Even so, Jiang Bai still gave him face and praised him: "It has a lot of artistic flair, bold use of color, and a unique style of brushwork..."

"Hehe, I'm glad you like it." Mameh was a little embarrassed by his praise, and her tail wagged wildly behind her.

What should we do next?

"My father said that as long as I keep looking at the painting, that's fine."

Have you been watching this all along?

Jiang Bai's mind was filled with countless thoughts, but his gaze remained fixed on the painting.

After looking at it for a while, he suddenly felt a little dizzy, as if the color blocks on the canvas were flowing.

In a daze, the surroundings had changed drastically.

This seems to be a space of consciousness, not much different from the outside world, but separated by a layer, like looking at flowers through fog.

"Oh, you're here. I can finally talk to you."

A voice appeared in Jiang Bai's ear, along with the small figure of Meilushin.

"You are the father that Mameh mentioned?"

"Yes. My name is Erinas. Is it nice? I like this name very much."

Although Erinas sounded very gentle, Jiang Bai casually offered a compliment to avoid upsetting him, considering that what he wanted to ask might be somewhat offensive.

"It sounds beautiful, but aren't you already dead? Why can you still talk to me?"

“My body is dead, but my consciousness remains. Ever since you arrived, I’ve been watching you. You’re like a ball of white light, moving around inside my body…”

Jiang Bai felt a little embarrassed at the thought that Erinus had been watching him.

Fortunately, he didn't do anything too outrageous. He just stood me up for a meal, so it shouldn't be a big deal, right?

"I see. But why do you look like Melusin?"

“I think this look is very pretty and beautiful. I love them very much; they are all my beautiful children. Since I can decide my own appearance here, of course I will choose the look I like the most.”

"Is Melosin your child?"

Mameh couldn't explain how she was born, only that she was born here, along with a machine part.

But she also said that Erinus was her father, which made Jiang Bai very curious about their birth.

"Yes! That was a long, long time ago, not long after I first experienced death. So many people, a spirit of primordial water, and many steel creatures, entered my body..."

"At first, I was happy that someone came, but in the end, they broke out into a fight."

"At that time, I was already dead. I was too weak to do anything but silently watch and feel the wounds they left in my body."

"In the end, someone triggered an explosion, causing a terrible shock. Many people died, including the steel animals. The survivors left, and then it became quiet again."

"So many sharp fragments pierced my body from the impact. But later, tiny lives emerged from these wounds and from the broken pieces of flesh."

I was so happy because they were beautiful and intelligent. And from that moment on, I realized that I could do more than just destroy. I could also bring beautiful new life into the world.

So I talked to them, told them many, many things, taught them how to build their own homes, and helped them grow up well. Then, everywhere became happy and lively again…”

This is how Melusin was born, born from a chaotic battle, born from a mistaken accident.

However, there are still many things that Jiang Bai cannot understand.

The spirits of primordial water likely refer to pure water spirits, and the steel creatures are probably the gears and machinery.

This pure water spirit fought a great battle with the machine, which resulted in a huge explosion. The mechanical debris entered the body of the dead Erinus, and thus Melsin was born.

But if Melusin were an unconscious life form like an animal, then it would be understandable.

Although the girls are a bit naive and innocent, each of them is an independent individual with their own consciousness.

Where do these Melusin consciousnesses come from?

The most basic logic of alchemy is equivalent exchange; there is no such thing as something coming out of nothing.

Therefore, these consciousness entities must have an origin.

He asked Erinus these questions, but Erinus shook his head; he didn't know either.

"And you? How did you get here?"

"I am here because of my mother. My mother is the best person in the world. My name was given to me by my mother, and I think it is a very nice and resounding name."

Erinus's words carried a sense of naiveté, as if he were untouched by the ways of the world.

Her thoughts were not complicated; like Melosin's, they were very pure.

"Before I was born, I drifted in the dark universe, where it was cold and lonely. I felt very sad and often sobbed. Then, I heard my mother's voice."

"She wanted me to be born in a beautiful world, to have life, to have a healthy and strong body that could walk on the earth, to have a nice name... and to see the beautiful, colorful world beyond the dark universe."

"Mom didn't lie to me, and I'm so happy. My older brothers and sisters are all very kind to me. Later, many more younger brothers and sisters came along..."

"Later, we said goodbye to our mother and left the underground world. I felt the wind on my skin, the warmth of the sun, the cold water and the warm water. Life is so wonderful! It's such a blessing to be able to know this world!"

At this point, Erinus's tone was still enthusiastic and joyful.

But then his voice turned sorrowful.

"But later I realized that I am different from life on earth. What I find very happy and interesting is terrifying to them and can cause them great harm..."

Chapter 885 Is your mother gold?

Listening to Erinas's narration, Jiang Bai subconsciously thought of Dulin, who died in the snow mountain.

Their experiences were remarkably similar.

Just like Erinus, Dulin was once happy to have come into this world.

He wanted to be friends with the beautiful dragon and hear its melodious singing.

However, it is unaware that its existence is a form of harm to life in this world.

In the end, Dulin died on the snow mountain, but although his body died, his consciousness did not dissipate.

Thousands of years later, he became a new "forest," walking on the earth in the form of a human.

Is your mother named Huang Jin (Gold)?

Jiang Bai's intuition told him that Erinus might also be a member of the golden creations.

"You know Mom?" Erinas asked, somewhat surprised.

"I don't know him, I've only met your brother."

If there's a chance, we could let Abedo and Lin come here to visit and meet their brother.

However, it's not certain whether they know Erinus.

It should be noted that Dulin appeared in the snow mountain a thousand years ago, while Erinas should have appeared five hundred years ago.

As for Aberdo, Jiang Bai had no idea what he was made of gold.

Jiang Bai and Erinas talked about some things concerning Abedo and Lin.

"I really hope to see them..."

“If they come to Fontaine, I will let them come to see you.”

"If it were them, they wouldn't be affected by my blood. Then Mameh wouldn't need to use my blood to paint."

"Those ores, are they your blood?"

"Mmm. My blood is poisonous, and you are the second person who won't be affected by it."

"Was the first one Mameh?"

"No, it's a human being."

Just as Jiang Bai was wondering if it was empty, he heard him continue:

"There was a bit of that cold, dark cosmic power in his body. In the beginning, he and another person would often come to collect my blood. He was in that battle, and then he never came again."

“But he’s different from you. Even if he drinks my blood, I can’t talk to him like this.”

Dark cosmic forces?

Erinus said that his consciousness had previously been adrift in the universe, or in other words, adrift in the abyss.

Therefore, this person possesses the power of the abyss.

From this perspective, the battle that took place inside Ernest's body must have been far from simple.

I don't know if this has anything to do with the Abyss Order.

"What are those spherical monsters outside?"

"Those are cells in my body, which help to remove harmful substances from the body and protect children."

It was actually cells; Jiang Bai had never expected this.

But then again, considering that this is inside Erinus's body, it doesn't seem so strange.

Will you be resurrected?

Erinus shook his head.

“I could come back to life, but I don’t want to. If I did, my children and their beautiful little house would be crushed and digested by my body…”

The more Jiang Bai listened, the more peculiar the creature Erinus seemed.

According to him, it was gold that gave him a physical form, allowing him to appear in the world.

So, as long as his will doesn't dissipate, can his physical form be resurrected?

Is this a common trait among all abyssal life forms? Or is it unique to golden creations?

That's pretty much all we've talked about. Next time Jiang Bai talks to Erinas, he can just take a few pieces of ore formed from Erinas's blood and come here.

However, meeting like this again is not an option, as it would drain Erinus's life force too much.

After bidding farewell to Erinas, Jiang Bai left this space of consciousness.

He looked at Mameh, who had been waiting for him beside him.

Mameh is now the only Melusin who can still hear Erinas's voice.

The reason she can still hear is because she has been in contact with these ores for a long time.

Jiang Bai rubbed the fluffy head. "I've already met your father. Thank you."

Mameh blushed slightly. "I'm glad Mameh can help."

Jiang Bai had nothing else to do in Haimo Village, so he decided to go and explore other places.

Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and took out the bottle containing the water of the Primordial Sea of ​​Conception.

"Mameh, can you tell what's different about this?"

Before he understood the properties of the primordial sea of ​​fetal water, he dared not let Mameh touch it directly.

The reason I brought it out was simply to see what the primordial waters of the womb looked like under Melusin's unique perspective.

Mameh looked at it carefully. "There is a life force inside, very calm and gentle, like a lake without any waves."

"Vitality, huh..."

The primordial womb is the place where life is born, so it is not surprising that it contains vitality.

If that's the case, then could he give Gudu more to drink and create a brand new life?

Unfortunately, Gudu hasn't woken up yet; the little bit it drank last time hasn't been fully digested.

Why don't we just capture some elemental organisms, find a place, and conduct some experiments using the seawater from the fetal body?

Jiang Bai acted immediately, first returning directly to the sea to capture some original sea creatures.

The names of these original marine alien species are related to the original fetal sea. Jiang Bai wanted to experiment to see how they would react when they came into contact with the fetal sea water.

Jiang Bai found a secluded beach and used rock elements to create a basin, then poured in a shallow layer of primordial sea water.

He carefully touched the amniotic fluid with a heavy-shelled crab. The crab did not have any adverse reaction to the amniotic fluid, nor did it dissolve like the people of Fontainebleau.

On the contrary, after coming into contact with the womb water, this only caused the armored crabs to become unusually active.
