Chapter 121: The Identity of the Giant Bronze Turtle
This is a palace with a few ancient characters vaguely engraved on it, like the whispers of time, and those words vaguely reveal the three words "Longde Palace".

Lu Yue was slightly surprised. If this was really the legendary Longde Hall, it was the hall where Emperor Xin discussed state affairs and held court with his close ministers thousands of years ago.

Lu Yue strode forward and peeked through the gap, his eyes darkening.

In the hall that originally symbolized the king's dignity and authority, there were actually two rows of figures kneeling. There were so many people, at least seventy or eighty, who seemed to be ministers kneeling respectfully to Emperor Xin during a court session.

But Lu Yue could see clearly from this position that those kneeling figures all had no hearts. The remaining negative energy on their bodies showed that they were heartless ghosts.

Lu Yue suddenly remembered what the ascetic monk said. Since two months ago, the number of ghosts in the entire ruins has been decreasing, until it is difficult to find a single ghost.

Now they all appeared in this Longde Palace.

What’s even more terrifying is that these ghosts perform a kneeling ritual.

In front of them, a strange heart was suspended, beating irregularly. The heart was covered with twisted blood vessels. From the center of the heart, a strange red light covered a certain range, like a devil's tentacles dancing and twisting in the air, forming a creepy picture.

What kind of heart is this? Why does it look so evil!
It was even more horrifying than any torture I had ever encountered.

Lu Yue thought again and again, put on a body bag and sneaked in. Not long after he lay down in a secret corner far away from his heart, he heard the sound of fighting in the distance and a disheveled figure rushed out.

This was a ragged, mentally disturbed transcendent. The moment he rushed in, his eyes greedily moved towards the floating heart deep in the hall.

"The Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart is mine. If I get it, I will be the next generation of god..."

puff...

A bronze sword suddenly pierced through the man's chest.

It turned out that a corpse lying on the ground suddenly revived and killed the man unexpectedly. After killing him, the corpse grinned and said, "You are worthy of being a god? God speaks to me every day, and I am the only one who is chosen."

At this moment, with a whoosh sound, a bronze chain was suddenly pulled out from the beam and tightened around the neck of the pretending-dead corpse. The corpse was lifted up and hung in the air. The pretending-dead corpse swayed and finally became motionless.

"You are all fake, only I am real..." Another hidden person appeared, his words were full of madness and persistence.

However, before he could finish his words, an arrow was shot from a distance.

The man on the beam was shot by an arrow and fell, his body hitting the ground heavily.

"You are the fake one, you are all fake..." The archer laughed wildly.

Lu Yue, who was lurking in the body bag, took a deep breath and witnessed a fight between Lao Liu and Lao Liu. These lunatics were too good at ambushing. Who knows where a figure will appear in the next second.

It is not difficult to find out from the information revealed by these people that, like the ascetics, they all claimed to have heard the voice of God and thus began to kill each other.

Why does this so-called God smell like a pyramid scheme?

If you really want to choose a successor, just tell that person directly.

Everyone has to say this. These lunatics have been hungry for two months and have long lost their minds. If they are instigated like this, they will become mentally disturbed and will completely kill each other.

Can the winner selected in this way become the successor?

There must be a conspiracy here.

[Source Energy +1, +1...]

Lu Yue did not act rashly. Last time, he killed a transcendent who escaped from the ruins at the ruins node outside the community, and only obtained a wisp of source energy.

Even if you do nothing now, you can still gain a bit of energy.

Why would you work hard when you can earn energy by lying down?

Just as a dozen people were fighting fiercely and Lu Yue was happily enjoying the results, the air around him suddenly changed and a sound of heavy footsteps came from far away.

The sound was not made by a human, but rather by some giant four-legged creature.

That is... a giant bronze turtle.

Lu Yue was a little surprised.

As we all know, boys are completely different people before and after taking a shower.

The giant bronze turtle in front of you is like this. The rust on its body has faded away, and it looks like it has been polished and renewed. It exudes a bronze luster and shines brightly. Even with four bronze arrows on its back, it cannot conceal the majestic momentum of rebirth, majestic and inviolable.

It is said that the original color of bronze ware was gold.

If you keep rubbing it, it might turn into a giant golden turtle.

The most important thing is that this giant bronze turtle found two huge fist-sized luminous pearls from somewhere and embedded them in its eye sockets to replace the empty eyes that had been bitten, which looked quite funny.

The giant bronze turtle ignored the fighting lunatics and looked directly at the beating heart at the highest point. He held his head high and walked slowly, taking each step firmly and powerfully.

Lu Yue suspected that the giant bronze turtle was taking a bath just for the sake of this heart. Just like an emperor going to court, there must be a sense of ritual.

"Old bastard, you think we don't exist, right?" The action of the giant bronze turtle immediately attracted the attention of the crazy people around, and they all looked at the giant turtle viciously.

The giant bronze turtle ignored it and continued forward.

This angered those crazy people.

Take action one after another!

bang bang bang...

The giant bronze turtle kicked out with incredible speed, and with a bite and a collision, the dozen or so lunatics were easily defeated. Some even died on the spot. They were completely not in the same league.

[Source Energy +1, +1...]

The action of the giant bronze turtle brought eight strands of source energy to Lu Yue.

"Impossible, impossible, I am the one chosen by God, the Seven Apertures Heart is mine, God told me that I am his only choice..." one of the seriously injured lunatics yelled.

Hearing this, the giant bronze turtle stopped and turned to look at the madman. Lu Yue, who was standing beside him, saw a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Did God tell you that eating hearts regularly can help you become a god?"

"how do you know?"

Obviously the question was directed at that person, but the seriously injured lunatics at the scene said it in unison, and then looked at each other with shock in their eyes. It was obvious that the gods in their minds all said this.

"Not only do I know this, I also know that your god wants you to save up copper coins and go to the wine pool and meat forest to buy spiritual wine and bacon. At night, the voice in your head will appear..."

"Who are you?!!!" someone collapsed and screamed at the top of his lungs.

The giant bronze turtle raised its mouth corners, revealing a playful smile on its face, but the angle of the smile was a bit exaggerated, making it look extremely weird and creepy: "Don't you understand yet? I am the god in your mind."

Like a thunderclap, at this moment everyone's spirit collapsed again.

They simply couldn't believe that the one who had been guiding them to become gods in their minds was actually the giant bronze turtle in front of them.

"Impossible, you are lying to me, none of this is true..." The already crazy extraordinary person became even more insane.

Lu Yue's eyes flashed inside the corpse bag, and then he shook his head secretly. These extraordinary people who entered the ruins early were indeed unlucky. Not only did they experience a decrease in the concentration of spiritual energy, but they also faced a shortage of food. It was not surprising that the bronze giant turtle took advantage of them when they were so hungry.

Although it is not known what specific means the bronze giant turtle used to instigate, it is obvious that the giant turtle succeeded, and those extraordinary people all went crazy.

But why did the giant bronze turtle do this?

It is easy to understand why the extraordinary people fight each other, as it is nothing more than providing a source of spiritual wine and bacon. But what is the purpose of letting these extraordinary people spend copper coins to buy spiritual wine and bacon?
For copper coins?

What does it want to do with the copper coins?
"It's quite interesting. I didn't expect that I could see such a good show." A strange voice echoed in the hall, with a sense of pretentiousness, and then a short figure walked in.

The moment that person appeared, Lu Yue suddenly remembered a sentence.

With a big head and a thick neck, he is either a rich man or a cook.

What's even more strange is that Lu Yue felt a sense of death from this person. Even if the other person was not from the underworld, he must have come into contact with ghosts frequently.

"Being able to leave a spiritual mark in another person's soul is not something that the new transcendents can do. As far as I know, those who are good at soul matters include ghost walkers, onmyojis... Which one are you?" The short figure listed more than a dozen ancient professions in one breath.

The giant bronze turtle looked the short man up and down, and instead of answering, asked, "I heard about the appearance of a spiritual food in Chaoge City, but Chaoge City cannot have any other natural treasures except for the wine pool and meat forest."

"The raw materials of your spiritual food are not natural treasures, but you have a smell of spices. You are a cook. The cook has sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty flavors. There are five flavors in life. Which flavor do you belong to?"

The cook remained silent and did not answer.

The bronze giant turtle spoke again: "The lineage of cooks values ​​blood inheritance the most, and respects teachers. Since you have the strength of the fourth level of Shenzang, you are still unwilling to answer. It seems that you are a wild cook, perhaps the blood of these blood extraordinary people left behind, and it has not yet been recognized."

After saying this, the giant bronze turtle looked at the cook meaningfully.

The ancient times were different from today. In some areas in ancient times, cooks were considered a low-class profession, but in modern times, the status of cooks is many times higher, especially those cooks who are good at making ghost food and spirit food.

Some extraordinary families often spend a high price to recruit.

The other party's silence proves that he is a wild chef who has been living among the people and has not been recognized. An unrecognized chef has no inheritance, and is almost the same as an ordinary newly-promoted extraordinary person among the people.

As for why they don't recognize it, this may be related to the bloodline family.

But no matter what, compared to a bloodline family with an inheritance system, the abandoned wild chef is like being expelled from the family tree and left to fend for himself.

"Whether I am a wild cook or not has nothing to do with you. Now you can tell me who you are and why you live in the body of a giant bronze turtle." The cook looked at the two broken fingers in his hand and asked with a grim expression. His voice was like a dead branch in the cold wind, hoarse and unpleasant, giving people a feeling of old age.

"Since we share the same extraordinary bloodline, it's okay for me to tell you. I'm the village guardian." The giant bronze turtle said after pondering.

"Village guard?" The cook frowned, his eyes full of suspicion.

“In the eyes of the world, do you think that we, the village guards, can only explore what happened on the ground in the past? Haha... How powerful my village guard lineage is is beyond your knowledge.” The giant bronze turtle roared like thunder and raised its head high.

The cook seemed to understand something at this time and said, "It is said that the souls of the village guards can be split into three souls and seven spirits. Is this the method you used to get the three souls and seven spirits into their souls, impersonate gods, and imprint spiritual marks on them?"

People have three souls and seven spirits, but they are a whole and cannot be separated under normal circumstances. Even if they are separated, it will cause irreversible damage to the soul and even the body.

The village guard on the opposite side did not answer, confirming the cook's guess.

"I'm a little curious. Why does your soul reside in this dead bronze turtle? Even if you can leave your body, if you don't return to your body for a long time, your soul will slowly wither and dissipate. Is there something wrong with your body?"

As a wild cook who had lost his inheritance, he didn't know much about other bloodline extraordinary people. This was the difference between bloodline extraordinary people and new extraordinary people.

The bloodline of the extraordinary people who have inherited the inheritance has a foundation. This foundation is not only the resources for cultivation, but also includes some secret information...

The two seemed to be chatting, but in fact they were taking the opportunity to test each other.

Know thyself, ever-victorious.

Lu Yue, who was eavesdropping on the side, was also quite shocked.

He also didn't expect that the giant bronze turtle was actually the village guard, the one who could leave his body and spy on the past on the ground.

However, this village guard was much more sophisticated. Compared to most people who only stayed in an "auxiliary" position, he actually used his soul to leave a spiritual mark in other people's souls.

This would explain why those extraordinary people go crazy.

Because those lunatics have traces of other people left in their bodies, and coupled with excessive hunger for two months, it would be strange if they didn't go crazy.

"You don't need to know this. Tell me why you are here." The giant bronze turtle did not answer, but asked the other party's purpose of coming here.

"I have heard some secrets of the ruins. Although these gods are dead and have become alternative existences, and there are no real gods in this world anymore, there is a god's inheritance within the ruins. As long as you get it, you can become the next generation of gods."

The cook looked at the exquisite heart with seven orifices, revealed a meaningful smile and said, "But this is just a rumor, no one knows if it is true or not. My goal is not to become a god."

"Stop pretending. You are here to snatch the Seven-Aperture Heart as well. The temptation of becoming a god is not something that everyone can resist." The giant bronze turtle sneered.

"I know myself well and I don't want to become a god," the cook emphasized.

"Since you don't want to become a god, then I will be the god." After eliminating one opponent, the giant bronze turtle approached the seven-orifice heart directly, but was suddenly stopped by the cook.

The giant bronze turtle's eyes darkened, and his voice was as cold as ice, full of coldness and threat, he said: "If you don't want to become a god, why are you stopping me?"

"I do know myself well. I don't want to become a god. I just want to get a piece of the Seven-Aperture Heart to save people." The cook said calmly.

The giant bronze turtle was furious. Let's not talk about whether this seven-aperture exquisite heart could be cut in half. Even if it could, after cutting that piece, could the seven-aperture exquisite heart still make him a god? Even if he became a god, would there be defects?

Even if he said that the cook did it to save people, he would never believe it even if he was beaten to death.

There can't be such noble people in this world.

The temptation to become a god is so great that it is no exaggeration to say that even brothers can kill each other.

And this story...why does it sound so familiar?

"Cook, could it be that your name is Emperor Xin, and you have been bewitched by Daji? The person you want to save is Daji?" The giant bronze turtle said in a teasing tone.

This is bullying him because he has never heard of myths!

If you were Emperor Xin, he would still be Ji Fa.

The man and the turtle were arguing with each other, and Lu Yue in the body bag was cheering in his heart.

"Fight, fight, fight..."

However, surprisingly, the outside world did not fight. The bronze giant turtle changed the subject: "As the saying goes, it is better to destroy ten temples than to break up a marriage. You, the wild cook, are kind and righteous. I like to help others achieve their goals. You go and get it."

The giant bronze turtle gave way, his eyes calm.

The cook took a few steps and found that the other party did not stop him, so he continued to move forward, taking out a bronze kitchen knife, as if he really wanted to take only one piece.

Lu Yue frowned slightly. He didn't believe that this giant turtle had such a broad mind. The giant turtle was so angry that he jumped up and down when he took some meat from the pool of wine and the forest of meat. Faced with the temptation of becoming a god, would the other party really be willing to give it up?
This can only prove one thing.

The giant turtle is feeling depressed.
