Xu Sanshi stood quietly before the ancient ninty-thousand-year-old Golden Dragon Turtle, their eyes locked in a silent exchange.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting a golden hue over him, as if enveloping him in a layer of radiance.
They stared at each other for a long time.
The Golden Dragon Turtle finally spoke, its voice ancient and solemn, like the essence of time itself.
"You have finally arrived."
The turtle's gaze was deep, seeming to pierce through time and see into Xu Sanshi's very soul.
"It seems a catastrophe is imminent."
The turtle's voice carried a hint of gravity, as if it had long foreseen the upheaval to come.
Xu Sanshi was puzzled by the turtle's words. "Elder Dragon Turtle, did you know I was coming?" He couldn't fathom how the turtle had anticipated his arrival, filling him with curiosity and confusion.
"And a catastrophe? What kind of catastrophe are you talking about?" Xu Sanshi's voice held a touch of nervousness and unease. He was perplexed by the turtle's mention of a disaster, not understanding its significance.
"I knew you would come because of my bloodline's innate ability to divine the future," the turtle explained. "As for the catastrophe..."
The turtle's voice was ancient and profound, calling forth memories from the distant past.
It closed its old eyes and began to recount an ancient legend, as if time had rewound, transporting Xu Sanshi back to an era long gone.
"According to my memory, a very long time ago, the world was in chaos, shrouded in boundless darkness. During that time, there was a supreme being whose power surpassed everything, capable of shaking the stars and controlling time and space."
"In that era, a great calamity was approaching, an unprecedented disaster. To maintain the balance of the universe, the supreme being made a decision."
"He chose a giant turtle and severed its four limbs to use as the cornerstone to support the world."
"The turtle's limbs transformed into the four cardinal directions, supporting the four corners of the world, becoming the pillars of the universe. It was a sacrifice, a holy offering for the sake of all beings."
"Now, Xu Sanshi, you are a key figure in this coming catastrophe. I will facilitate your transformation, and you will become a pillar of the new era."
The turtle's voice echoed through the valley, imbued with a sacred power.
Xu Sanshi listened intently, feeling a surge of complex emotions. He sensed the profound meaning within this ancient legend, as if he were being drawn into the cosmic cycle.
"Wait a moment, a pillar... Elder Dragon Turtle, do you mean you're going to cut off my limbs?" Xu Sanshi suddenly thought of something, his face turning pale with shock.
"No," the turtle shook its head, its ancient eyes revealing a hint of compassion. "That was merely a metaphor. But your transformation is inevitable. This will be an internal and external metamorphosis. You will transcend yourself and become a bearer of the universe's power."
"And now, I will assist you in this transformation."
"I see..."
Xu Sanshi, despite his lingering doubts, felt the weight of the responsibility he was to bear.
Suddenly, the Dragon Turtle slowly closed its ancient eyes, as if contemplating something profound.
As it closed its eyes, the air around them seemed to solidify, and a mysterious energy began to stir.
Xu Sanshi felt a powerful soul force emanating from the Dragon Turtle, rushing towards him like a tide. His heart trembled, sensing the vastness and solemnity of this soul force, inspiring a deep sense of awe.
"Accept it, Xu Sanshi."
The turtle's voice echoed in Xu Sanshi's mind, filled with majesty and sanctity.
"I will become your soul bond and help you transform into a stronger being."
Xu Sanshi's heart stirred. He silently closed his eyes, focusing his mind to receive the Dragon Turtle's soul force.
Gradually, a warm and powerful energy began to flow into Xu Sanshi's body, merging with his soul.
The presence of the Dragon Turtle flowed like a clear stream, reaching into the depths of Xu Sanshi's soul.
Xu Sanshi felt his consciousness gradually merging with the essence of the Dragon Turtle, his body infused with an ancient and mysterious power. This power did not come from his physical being but from the very depths of his soul, a sacred force inherent to his existence.
"It seems the fusion will take quite some time."
Outside the forest, Shui Wuya quietly observed the pillar of light emanating from the Soul Beast Mountain, calculating the time needed for Xu Sanshi and the Dragon Turtle to complete their fusion. The intensity and changes in the light suggested that this process would take at least several hours.
As Shui Wuya waited, his ring suddenly flashed, indicating an urgent message from an elder of the clan. Shui Wuya connected the communication.
"Clan leader, there's an emergency," the elder's voice came through the ring. "Wang Qiu'er from Shrek Academy is here to see you. She's requested an audience."
"What is Wang Qiu'er seeking from me?" Shui Wuya was slightly surprised. Could it be related to Huo Yuhao?
"She wouldn't come here to seek revenge for Huo Yuhao, would she?" Shui Wuya scoffed.
"I'm not sure," the elder responded, "but she doesn't seem to be here for trouble. In fact, she's shown great respect."
"Is that so?" According to the elder's description, Wang Qiu'er didn't appear hostile but rather respectful. This left Shui Wuya somewhat puzzled.
"Alright, I understand. I'm at the Soul Beast Mountain. Send someone to bring her here," Shui Wuya instructed, curious about Wang Qiu'er's intentions.
Soon enough, in the Shui family estate, Wang Qiu'er followed a polite servant, taking in the scenery along the path. A stone-paved path meandered through lush trees and blooming flowers, resembling a paradise.
As she absorbed the beautiful surroundings, her anxious mood began to ease. Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a flowing robe appeared before her. It was Dai Yueheng.
"Hello, Miss Wang Qiu'er. Are you here to see the clan leader?" Dai Yueheng greeted her with a deep gaze.
Wang Qiu'er nodded. "Yes, Brother Dai."
"Very well, the clan leader has agreed to see you. Follow me," Dai Yueheng said with a friendly smile.
"Thank you, Brother Dai."
Wang Qiu'er followed Dai Yueheng along the Shui family's path. The trees provided ample shade, and sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns on the ground.
Along the way, Dai Yueheng introduced Wang Qiu'er to the sights of the Shui family estate.
"This is our spiritual herb garden, filled with various rare plants. In the spring, the fragrance of the flowers is simply enchanting," he said, pointing to a garden in full bloom.
Wang Qiu'er breathed in the fragrant air, admiring the beautiful sea of flowers. Her heart was filled with awe.
This truly was a paradise on earth.
