Above the Nine Heavens, in the void, countless stars shone brightly, following a mysterious trajectory.
However, as a figure that was tall enough to reach the heavens appeared and shone with starlight, the stars in the sky trembled, and a dazzling path of stars was formed in the vast space. It led to a distant and unknown place.
"You've decided to leave?"
A childish voice asked, full of reluctance.
The figure quickly shrank to the height of a normal person, and its body gradually solidified. The blurry face also became clear. It was actually a handsome young man with long hair draped over his shoulders, white clothes fluttering in the wind, and facial features that looked as if they had been carved by a knife.
"Shanhe, I've already waited for an era. If I wait any longer, I'm afraid their Soul Seeds will completely disappear."
The young man turned to look at the Three Realms behind him. His voice was full of longing and reluctance, but his eyes seemed to shine with the sun, moon, and stars.
"That's good too, it's time to go. They've waited for too long."
The childish voice was full of melancholy and endless guilt. "Su Zhe, I'm sorry. If I hadn't fallen into a deep slumber back then, things wouldn't have turned out this way."
"Shanhe, don't say anymore. This isn't your fault. To put it bluntly, it's fortunate that you didn't participate in the war back then. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have lost you, my last friend."
Su Zhe comforted gently. Afraid that the other party would be unhappy, he explained, "Even the Chaos Five Treasures couldn't survive the Super Heavenly Cycle Star Formation and had no choice but to return to chaos. No matter how strong your turtle shell is, it probably can't compare to the Chaos Five Treasures, right?"
"That's not necessarily true."
The childish voice was a little unconvinced. "If the Chaos Five Treasures were at their peak, I might not be able to match up to them. But they weren't at their peak back then. Their defensive power might not be comparable to my Mountain River Tortoise."
"Alright, alright. You're good, alright? Let's not talk about the past."
Su Zhe shook his head and smiled bitterly. Then, his expression turned serious and his eyes shone with seriousness. "Shanhe, I'm leaving. Help me take care of the Three Realms. This might be the last hope of the Human Race."
"I can help you take care of it. But since you know that this is the last hope of the Human Race, why do you still ignore the calamity of the Three Realms and even add fuel to the fire?"
The Mountain River Tortoise asked in confusion.
Su Zhe's eyes flickered with an indecipherable light as he muttered softly, "The sharpness of a treasured sword can only be sharpened after being sharpened, just as the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. How can one see the rainbow if they don't experience the wind and rain?"
The Mountain River Tortoise fell silent, as if it was mulling over the meaning of this sentence. After a long while, it came to a sudden realization. "You're training that brat?"
"Not only him, but also the people around him."
Su Zhe's eyes were filled with pain and self-blame. "I was wrong in the past. I thought that with my protection, they would be able to live a peaceful and happy life. However, I neglected the law of the jungle and caused them to rely on each other. They were unable to break through to the Saint Venerable Stage and eventually made such a huge mistake. If they were all Saint Venerables, even if they had to fight against the other races, what would they have to fear? Even if we can't defeat them, we can always escape. "
The Mountain River Tortoise sighed softly. "Don't put all the blame on yourself. Holy Venerables are the limit of what this Chaotic Universe can tolerate. There are bound to be a limited number of them. Even without your protection, it wouldn't be that easy for them to break through to Holy Venerables."
"That's true, but it was still because of my existence that their talents were suppressed. Otherwise, with the perseverance and talent of Qingcheng, Wuhui, Kuang Xiao, Leader Wolf and Master Scholar, they would definitely be able to break through to the Saint Venerable Stage."
Su Zhe was still brooding over the matter and he blamed himself for it.
The Mountain River Tortoise was speechless. Even though it knew that Su Zhe was blaming himself, he was speaking the truth. The four of them did have the potential to become Saint Venerables.
But so what if they really became Saint Venerables? Could the six Saint Venerables and a group of brothers who would go through life and death with them really resist?
Would they be surrounded by the other races?
The answer was no. At most, they would be able to hold on for a little longer and kill a few more powerful beings of the other races.
Moreover, Wuhui Dao was not even around when the incident happened. After the Giant Cosmic Beast was destroyed, he went out to explore and never returned. In this era, Su Zhe and the Mountain River Tortoise could not find any trace of him. He must have met with an accident and turned into ashes.
"Su Zhe, what exactly is sealed in the Demonic Abyss? Why can't I see through it?"
The Mountain River Tortoise did not want to be too sad, so it changed the topic and asked curiously.
Su Zhe's eyes were like stars, and his lips curled into a smile. "Do you still remember the Demon Ancestor from the Heavenly Sea Galaxy?"
"You mean the Reincarnation Beast of Mount Tianyao?"
The Mountain River Tortoise exclaimed.
"That's right. I didn't expect that Mount Tianyao, which was originally in the Heavenly Sea Galaxy, would appear in the Three Realms."
Su Zhe's eyes were filled with hope. "I created the Three Realms because I wanted to use the reincarnation of the Three Realms to resurrect my loved ones and brothers. I extracted their bloodlines and reincarnated them. Perhaps their cultivation level was too high, and the reincarnation of the Three Realms was too low, so it could not withstand the power of their souls. At that time, the Reincarnation Beast took the initiative to find me and made a deal with me. I went to a higher-level chaotic universe to help it bring back something, and it would help me resurrect everyone.
"This … I'm not doubting it, but … does it really have the ability to do so? What if you help it find something, but it doesn't acknowledge it? You should know that an existence of its level has already broken free from the restraints of the Heavenly Dao. A Heavenly Dao oath is no threat to it at all, "the Mountain River Tortoise said worriedly.
It could not help but worry. After all, higher-level chaotic universes were filled with countless dangers. It really did not want Su Zhe to take the risk.
"I naturally would not trust anyone for such an important matter. However, as long as there is a chance, I will try. Furthermore, it is not as if I do not have a backup plan."
Su Zhe pursed his lips. His face was filled with determination.
"Are you talking about that kid? Can he do it? "
The Mountain River Tortoise asked hesitantly. However, it suddenly understood why Su Zhe had gone through so much trouble to gather the best medical legacies in this chaotic universe for that kid. It was a layer of insurance for reviving his loved ones and friends.
"I believe in him. Even if he can't do it now, he will definitely be able to do it in the future."
Su Zhe's face was filled with confidence and determination.
"Then why do you want to go to other chaotic universes and risk your life?"
Although the Mountain River Tortoise knew that Su Zhe had made up his mind, it still tried to persuade him to stay.
"Because there are higher-level laws of reincarnation there that I can use as reference. Perhaps I can even find better medical legacies there."
Su Zhe said with a smile. His eyes shone with longing.
The Mountain River Tortoise was speechless. It knew Su Zhe's personality very well. Once he had made up his mind, he would not change it. Furthermore, reviving his loved ones and friends had become his only motivation to survive.
Since he already had a plan, it did not try to persuade him anymore. It sighed. "Then you must return safely. As long as you are alive, there is still hope."
"Don't worry, I have not revived them yet. Even if I want to die, it will not be that easy."
Su Zhe said confidently.
He had the star map with him. Even if he wanted to commit suicide, he could not do so. Unless someone could destroy the mysterious star map, no one could kill him.
"Take care. I will look after the Three Realms for you."
The Mountain River Tortoise promised solemnly.
"Erm, Mountain River, it is not that I do not trust you, but please, don't fall asleep before I return."
Although Su Zhe did not want to say it, he still coughed dryly when he remembered how unreliable the Mountain River Tortoise was.
The Mountain River Tortoise blushed. "Don't worry, I will not sleep until you return."
"Really?"
Ding Ning asked suspiciously.
"Really, I swear!"
The Mountain River Tortoise said anxiously.
"There is no need to swear. I trust you. Remember, do not attack until the Three Realms are destroyed. It is time for me to go. Goodbye."
Ding Ning laughed. He waved his hand and walked towards the Star Path. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the depths of the Star Path.
His relationship with the Mountain River Tortoise was very subtle. They were not master and servant, but friends. A friend promised to protect the Three Realms for him because it was a favor, not an obligation. He naturally would not force the Mountain River Tortoise to swear an oath.
"Don't worry, I will definitely not fall asleep again. Yawn, I am so sleepy."
The Mountain River Tortoise was so sleepy that tears streamed down its face. It yawned and shook its head vigorously. "Don't sleep, don't sleep, don't sleep … it should be fine to sleep for a while, right?"
However, the heavy sleepiness caused its eyelids to struggle. In its mind, two snow-white little tortoises were fighting with each other. One of the little tortoises said righteously, "No, not even for a while. What did you promise Su Zhe?"
"I … will just sleep for a while. Just a little while. I just need to wake up before the calamity arrives."
The other little tortoise said a little guiltily.
"Not even for a little while. Back then, you delayed important matters because you were too sleepy, causing Su Zhe to lose all his family and friends. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
"My conscience does hurt, and I am also very guilty. But Su Zhe also said that even if I was there, it would have been useless."
"Hmph, you are just lying to yourself. How is it useless? You are a Mountain River Tortoise. After eating all of Su Zhe's family and friends, Su Zhe would definitely be able to escape easily without any burden. "
"That is true, but you also know that there are so many Holy Venerables in the Myriad Races. They would have killed me before I could eat them."
"Tsk, don't find excuses for your sleepiness. Let's not talk about the past. Since you promised Su Zhe this time, you have to keep your word no matter what."
"This … alright, I will not sleep, alright?"
…
"Yawn, I am so sleepy, snore snore …"
Not long after, the Mountain River Tortoise's snores shook the heavens.
"Wake up, wake up. You are not allowed to sleep, you are not allowed to sleep. How can you go back on your word?"
"You are so annoying, I will sleep for a while, just a while."
"No, not even for a minute. You have to wake up. Even if you are not afraid of going back on your word, I am afraid of letting Su Zhe down. Where is your integrity?"
"Sigh, you are so annoying. If I knew this would happen, I would not have promised him. I am so sleepy, yawn."
"You are so shameless. Su Zhe treats you as a friend and trusts you so much, but you go back on your word."
"I … alright, alright, I will not sleep."
…
"Yawn, aren't you sleepy?"
"I … I am sleepy too."
"Then let's sleep for a while, just for a while."
"55555, but I don't want to let Su Zhe down."
"Is that so? What a headache. Oh right, I got it. Let's go find that kid?"
"What for? Yawn … "
"Idiot, he is a Tribulation Taker. Can't we just sleep in his body? When his life is in danger, we will be able to wake up immediately, right? "
"Hmm, that sounds like a good idea. Then let's go find him quickly."
"Yes, yes, yes, let's go find him now. I am so sleepy."
With a piercing sound, the place became quiet again, as if no one had ever been there. If Su Zhe knew that the Mountain River Tortoise had no integrity, he might have cursed it out loud.
