Once the three-eyed monkey died, the wave of beasts immediately collapsed.
The gigantic turtle continued moving towards the north at a steady pace. Gui Three and a few guards of the caravan searched the belongings of the few bald men for quite a while, but failed to find anything useful. Therefore, they put this matter aside for the time being.
Every day, Ji Hao squatted on the city wall, which was closest to the gigantic turtle's head, and chatted with it while enjoying the beautiful scenery.
This Starry Sky Spirit Turtle, who had lived for countless years, was a chatterbox. After spending two days with Ji Hao, it started telling Ji Hao about all the interesting things that had happened to it during its long life.
It started from its hometown, the bottomless abyss, which was located in the deepest part of the Northern Wasteland. The gigantic turtle described to Ji Hao that in that boundless, dark abyss, countless aquatic creatures had been madly fighting and devouring each other for survival and reproduction.
After a long period of growth, the Starry Sky Spirit Turtle responded to the call of its bloodline and left the abyss where it had hatched. It trod on the air and signed a mutually beneficial contract with the owner of the Spirit Turtle Caravan, and became a member of the Spirit Turtle Caravan.
During thousands of years, this gigantic turtle had carried the city on its back and traveled between the Midland and the Southern Wasteland with generations of members of the Spirit Turtle Caravan. It had seen terrifying wars in the Midland, crazy slaughters in the void, and the bloodiest slaughters in the Southern Wasteland.
In his life, he had seen too many powerful warriors and peerless beauties.
"However, in my eyes, the most beautiful girl among your humankind is still lacking a turtle shell!" The gigantic turtle looked at the sky with an indescribable longing, sighed and said, "When I break into the level of Divine Magus, I will be a real adult Starry Sky Spirit Turtle. I will find a turtle woman and give birth to a bunch of little turtles. The meaning of life, is to reproduce! "
Ji Hao listened to the Starry Sky Spirit Turtle, smilingly shook his head and said, "The meaning of life, is not only about reproduction, is it?"
The gigantic turtle blinked its beady eyes, turned its head around, glanced at Ji Hao, and said, "Ah, ah, we don't have as many messy thoughts as you humankind do. We have food, we have water, we don't want to be killed by violence before our lives end, and we can give birth to enough offspring so that our race can flourish. This is the whole meaning of our existence. "
"As for …" The gigantic turtle seemed to want to say something, but then stopped. Looking at Ji Hao's tender little face, it blinked its eyes, then lowered its voice and murmured, "As for many things you human beings pursue, we don't care about them."
Ji Hao looked at the gigantic turtle in surprise and said, "What do we have that we value but you don't?"
The giant tortoise was silent for a while. Then, it lowered its voice again. "For example, dignity and glory!"
Shaking its gigantic head, the gigantic turtle had already walked to the edge of the northernmost area of this Southern Wasteland. With a single step, it strode across a hundred miles wide river, then took another two steps forward and stepped into the boundless void.
Under the legs of the gigantic turtle, large amounts of hazy starlight spread out. It walked slowly in the dark, bottomless void as if it was walking on flat ground. Step by step, step by step, every single step of the turtle left miles in radius starlight footprints in the void. Those sparkling footprints wouldn't fade away until it had walked tens of thousands of miles away.
Ji Hao silently looked at the gigantic turtle. The gigantic turtle rushed in the void for a big half an hour, then turned its head around, slowly grinned to Ji Hao and said, "You don't sound very brave. But in our bloodline, too many scenes of powerful beings perishing for a short while have been recorded. Starry sky spirit turtles aren't top-grade beings. It's already good enough that our kind can survive. "
Ji Hao jumped down from the fence wall, came to the place where the turtle's neck connected with its shell, and gently patted on the rough callus on the turtle's neck.
"I can understand. All creatures in the world have their own pursuits. Some of them pursue immortality, while some of them pursue the short-lived glory, like shooting stars. All creatures in the world are free. All creatures live in this world, and all their pursuits are in line with … "
Ji Hao looked at the silent and steady face of the gigantic turtle and said the last word with difficulty, "Dao!"
All creatures in the world are free. All creatures live in this world, and all their pursuits are in line with … the 'Dao'!
The gigantic turtle blinked its eyes, turned its head around, and silently pondered on Ji Hao's words.
Ji Hao stood on the turtle's neck, looking at the magical scene that suddenly appeared around him in a great shock. In the void, the gigantic turtle seemed to be walking slowly, but in fact, its speed was over ten times faster than when it was in Southern Wasteland. In Southern Wasteland, the gigantic turtle had to be careful all the time. If it exerted too much force, it might leave a giant hole in the Southern Wasteland, or collapse a few mountain ranges.
However, in the void, no matter how much the Starry Sky Spirit Turtle ran, the boundless void was able to withstand its speed.
Within a big half an hour, the gigantic turtle had already rushed nearly a million miles away. An ocean-like stardust abruptly appeared in front of the gigantic turtle, with the smallest being the size of a grain of sand, and the largest being only miles in radius.
The boundless stardust reflected the light of countless stars up, down, left, right, front, back and forth. The colorful flowing lights were gorgeous, like a colorful ocean.
Countless dolphin-shaped, hundreds of meters long, beautiful creatures, whose bodies were enshrouded in a faint blue mist, slowly dashed up from the stardust. They swung their tails and dashed away at a high speed.
These mysterious creatures with unknown names swam in the void like dolphins swimming in the water. Every movement they made was filled with a smooth rhythm, and it was so beautiful that it was shocking to see.
A giant beast that looked like a blue whale but was miles long was swimming quickly at the edge of this group of strange creatures. Standing on the back of this giant beast were tens of meters tall muscular men. They were holding long sticks in their hands, like shepherds on a grassland, controlling the direction of those beautiful creatures.
Seeing the Starry Sky Spirit Turtle approaching, a muscular man with his upper body bared laughed out loud from hundreds of miles away and said, "Ah, are you friends from the caravan? We're so thirsty, our tongues haven't touched even a drop of wine for over ten years! Do you have good wine? We have many good things here, we can trade with you! "
Gui Three always showed up when Ji Hao needed him.
He poked half of his body out from the watchtower and waved his arms enthusiastically to greet the big men. "Oh, oh, who am I seeing? My brothers from the Star Shepherd Clan, how have you been lately? The last time I met your clansmen was a hundred and seventy years ago. I have as much good wine as I want, especially your favorite, sweet wine soaked in wild honey. You can have as much as you want! "
His loud and clear laughter resounded across the void. Those beautiful creatures stopped swimming and curiously looked over.
The gigantic whale quickly flew towards the gigantic turtle, and the two of them quickly approached each other.
