Chapter 12

Chapter Twelve: The Creation of Nature

Before he took this step, he could not recall what he had heard, but he saw dozens of eyes capable of destroying the world. Their eyes were etched with countless patterns forming an array!

Beneath the massive stele, a giant turtle was suppressed. The hero wanted to stop and take a look but felt a bone-chilling sense of danger, reluctantly taking another step.

As he took this step, he saw countless powerful figures fighting over the stele, causing the heavens to collapse and corpses to rain down.

After taking the next step, there were no more inscriptions before him, only a severely injured Black Tortoise and a man who had gained nothing.

Several people carrying fragments of the broken stele glanced at the man with ridicule and then vanished into the air.

The giant turtle looked at the man before him with a gentle gaze and said, "Child, why did you use that broken stele to save my life? You know, I should not exist in this world."

The man, who rarely smiled, finally showed a warm smile, "The inscriptions are dead, but you are alive. I cannot watch a life perish before my eyes due to our plundering. Because I am a Life Master."

The giant turtle looked at this man who cherished all life in the world. In his clear eyes, she saw what she wanted to see: nature and life.

There is a creative relationship between nature and life.

After a moment of thought, the giant turtle said to the child she liked very much, "Life is created by nature, and nature thrives because of life. You have the qualifications to learn the Dao of Taiji Alchemy, which has evolved into a unique tradition in this civilization era. This is my gift to you."

As the giant turtle spoke, her body began to gradually dissipate, for she did not belong to this chaotic era.

As she dissipated, the man who cherished all life saw tears of kindness and reluctance in the giant turtle's eyes, faintly hearing a sigh: "A cycle of a year, a cycle of an era, a year of falling flowers, a century of flowers buried in the sea. Life is for the soil of the next year, death is for the flowers of the next year, the cycle of life and death lasts for millions of years, the creation of nature remains eternal..."

The giant turtle's last words echoed in the man's mind for a long time.

After her body dissipated, a large pit appeared beneath her, and within the pit was a giant turtle egg.

The giant turtle's body ultimately dissipated into the universe, leaving behind only a small piece of jade-like turtle shell. Within this shell was a naturally formed immortal array: the Creation Immortal Array!

Around the Creation Immortal Array were inscriptions and patterns that verified the laws of the array!

This giant turtle had been guarding the chaotic divine stele since the destruction of the Immortal Era. Her understanding of the new era's pattern laws surpassed that of anyone in the world. She passed on her legacy to the child she liked, imprinting it into the turtle shell.

She possessed the Black Tortoise bloodline from the previous chaotic era and was the last Immortal Saint of the previous era: the Guardian Saint of Taiji Alchemy.

She was suppressed beneath the chaotic stele for countless years, ultimately comprehending the laws of nature and life in this era. Using Taiji Alchemy as a foundation, she evolved a unique tradition for this era: the Dao of Creation.

In the previous era's civilization, the role of alchemy for cultivators was immense. Alchemy could not only revive the dead and heal bones but also enable people to ascend to immortality through the creation of the Dao!

In this era, alchemy has evolved into the Life System in the world of abilities!

The man looked at the jade slip in his hand and read the words "creation."

Every mountain, stone, and grain of sand can evolve into life through the creation of nature! Ordinary life can advance to a higher life realm through subsequent creation.

Comprehend nature, create life!

When he comprehended the four words "create life," he approached the turtle egg and said:

"Your body still contains the bloodline of the previous era, which should not exist in this world. I will use all my life force to seal you. After enduring countless years, you will transform into a small turtle egg in this world through the creation of nature. When you are born, even if you are an ordinary little turtle, it will not be in vain for your mother's endless labor."

After speaking, the soul array in the man's soul, composed of countless patterns, shone with the brightest light of his life. He used his life force to form a life protection pattern and imprinted it on the giant turtle egg, then sealed the egg inside the turtle shell.

The turtle shell finally transformed into a jade slip, landing in the hands of the man, who had become incredibly aged.

He exuded a sense of twilight! He used his life to protect a life that was unrelated to him.

The old man muttered, "I will consider this as planting a cause, hoping it will bear fruit in the future."

The old man, who had no attachment to the jade slip, threw it with all his might, not knowing where on Earth it landed.

Even if the hero were a fool, he would know how Grandpa Turtle came to be. Grandpa Turtle was indeed a Black Tortoise with an extremely powerful bloodline that was washed away over a long period, becoming a very weak little mountain turtle.

He liked this old man who was so foolish, as he admired men who shared his traits.

This is not foolishness, but loyalty!

At this moment, the man who had been facing away turned to look at the hero. His gaze seemed to have pierced through countless years and landed on the hero.

The hero's scalp tingled, and all feelings of mutual admiration were forgotten. He felt as if he were being watched by a ghost that had existed for millions of years, and he couldn't help but think, "This is freaking unbelievable!"

The hero instinctively wanted to take another step, but the man spoke:

"Don't take another step. The Hall of Creation was sealed by me before my death, waiting for you. You are the cause I planted. I can sense that the world of my creation has disappeared after a million years. It was my greatest fortune to receive the legacy of your mother. Now, our cause and effect have met..."

The hero felt uneasy and thought to himself, "Damn, a dead person is talking to me across countless years. It seems his memory is confused. You should be talking to Grandpa Turtle, not staring at me!"

Grandpa Turtle had a premonition that this dead person would leave him a great benefit, so he was anxious and shouted in his mind, "Damn it, I'm the one you're waiting for."

Even the all-knowing Grandpa Turtle didn't know that this was just a temporal projection left in the time-sealed place, with no active consciousness. It was set to recognize only the jade slip, not the person!

As both grandpas felt confused, the jade slip that had been recognized and absorbed into the hero's brain resonated with the temporal projection.

Even a pig would know why the dead person had mistaken the hero. He was not even a ghost, just a projection that recognized only the jade slip. As long as the jade slip appeared before him, the projection would automatically trigger!

The long, tedious words in the middle of the temporal projection were automatically filtered out by the hero and Grandpa Turtle. If they could skip to the part about the benefits, they would have done so without hesitation.

The man and the hero, separated by ten steps, yet as if separated by countless years, continued their conversation.
