Chapter 652 Returning to the most primitive form
No matter what, Shijin would never agree to let that old bastard die.
They're the ones who created this mess, so why should others have to be sacrificed?
Seeing that Shijin still disagreed, Old Wangba had no choice but to play the emotional card.
It began to comfort Shijin, saying that it would not die, but would be reborn.
I scoffed at the "assorted" dish. Who are you trying to fool?
Those who cultivate immortality cannot reincarnate; this was the first thing she learned after arriving on the Central Martial Continent!
But the old turtle patiently explained to Shijin.
The fact that cultivators cannot reincarnate has nothing to do with the turtles that cultivate immortality.
Humans are humans, and turtles are turtles!
They existed thousands of years before humans! Naturally, they are far more powerful beings than humans!
After thinking it over, Shijin realized that the old bastard didn't seem to be lying to her.
After all, it just said that it has a legacy.
To further confirm his idea, Shijin had to ask the old turtle to explain how it was passed down.
The old turtle said that although they are slightly different from human cultivators, they also need to cultivate and undergo tribulations.
Unlike cultivators, even if they fail to transcend tribulation, they will not be reduced to ashes like humans.
Whenever their husks die, a new one will be formed somewhere in the deep sea.
Of course, these are all their most primitive forms.
For example, the old turtle itself, after reassembling, is an egg.
And this egg will hatch and break open over time, gradually growing and evolving into the old turtle it is now.
While marveling at the wonders of the Creator, Shijin suddenly realized that the old turtle had been referring to "them" rather than "it" itself.
So, what the old turtle means is that it's not the only one that can remain immortal?
So...Godzilla?
The old turtle confirmed Shijin's guess, and its expression immediately turned dejected when Godzilla was mentioned.
Shijin expressed deep sympathy for the old turtle's dejection, guessing that he was lamenting his unrequited love.
Alas, the poor old turtle, he was about to die, yet he still couldn't catch up with Godzilla.
Shijin advised the old turtle to take it easy, saying there are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on just one beast?
With Old Turtle's domineering charm, the line of suitors would stretch from here to Paris, France. He doesn't really need to be so fixated on dating a fish.
Shijin thought that after she comforted him, the old man would be more accepting of the situation.
But to everyone's surprise, the old turtle's expression gradually changed from dejected to puzzled.
Shijin couldn't help but sigh, "This old turtle has such a rich emotional life! One moment he's angry, the next he's friendly, then he's lonely, and then he's confused."
"Human, why can't I sense any sadness from you?"
Assorted: ?
Duoduo successfully transcended her tribulation, and the old turtle won't die from trying to reach the next realm.
Why is she upset for no reason?
But then, Old Wangba's words exploded in Shijin's mind like a bombshell.
It said that on this continent of Zhongwu, only three demonic beasts with inherited lineages remain, and Godzilla is one of them.
It is not only beautiful and proud, but also very intelligent.
It is the pride of all demon beasts, because it has exceptional talent and is the only demon beast among us with the hope of ascending to immortality.
But it died because of you, and died without any explanation.
Human, do you know that it truly considers you a friend?
Aren't you friends?
But why don't you feel sad at all when you mention it?
……
Shijin's mind went blank. First it was the Grand Elder, and now it's Godzilla!
"Big Beauty... is dead? When did that happen?! Why?!"
Old Wangba was puzzled.
It fell for Godzilla's diversionary tactic, which led Godzilla to take the three humans into that dangerous high-level secret realm.
But by the time it turned around to stop it, it was too late.
Its heritage tells it that the secret realm is dangerous and must be avoided for life.
It wanted to chase after it, but that secret realm had restrictions on the level of beings; only a Nascent Soul stage expert could open it.
So it could only watch helplessly as this human encouraged Godzilla to go in and die.
It originally intended to kill Shijin.
But it was also afraid that if Godzilla was alright, and it hurt Godzilla's friends again, Godzilla would be angry with it when it came out.
So it suppressed its murderous intent and focused solely on guarding the area around the secret underwater realm, waiting for Godzilla to emerge.
But looking at this human now, it seems like he knows nothing at all?
So, the old turtle told Shijin what he had seen and heard.
After hearing this, Shijin could no longer suppress the Heavenly Thunder within her body!
Da Piao Liang is dead? She only found out today!
Why! Why didn't Chi'an tell her! Why!
Seemingly noticing something was wrong with Shijin, Old Wangba quickly spoke up to stop Shijin's excitement.
"Hey, hey, human, something's not right with your body!"
Don't get agitated, I'm still counting on you to send me up to replenish my spiritual energy!
Besides, Godzilla might not really be dead; perhaps it has simply reverted to its original form and is hiding somewhere in the deep sea…
Suppressing the turmoil within him, Shijin retorted to the old turtle, "Why is it 'possible'?"
Old turtle: ...
"Because...after that, I never sensed its presence again. I spent thirty years searching the entire sea, but..."
Tianlei became increasingly irritable, so Shijin had no choice but to sit cross-legged on the ground and start using the little red flowers to calm him down.
But while his body was under control, Shijin's mouth didn't stop:
"You mean you sensed it every time it returned to its original form?"
Old turtle: "Hmm, I've been chasing her for thousands of years. I can sense even the slightest trace of her aura. But this time, there's nothing left."
After saying that, its expression turned dejected again.
"That's why, when I first saw you, I hated you so much and wanted to kill you."
Because I think you killed Godzilla, and I think you are a despicable and shameless person.
I think you tricked it by pretending to be friends with it, but in reality you were taking advantage of it.
But when I saw you bravely braved heavenly lightning to save your friend, my opinion of you suddenly changed.
Perhaps I was one-sided before, and I misunderstood you. Perhaps you didn't lie to Godzilla, and you didn't use it.
Perhaps its death has nothing to do with you.
Human, I'm sorry, I hurt you. As an apology, here you go.
After saying that, the old turtle spat out a stack of armor plates and gave them to Shijin.
"These are the armor plates I shed each time I molt. There are sixteen plates in total, each one is incredibly hard, and each one can help you withstand a lightning strike."
At this point, the old turtle suddenly remembered a new question:
"Oh, with your skill level, you probably wouldn't need it. But by the way, human, how did you manage that heavenly lightning just now?"
