There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 122: What Happened Two Months Ago

The cook held a kitchen knife in his hand and gradually approached the heart of the seven orifices.

During the whole process, the giant bronze turtle did not stop at all.

However, when the cook stepped within 20 meters of the Seven Apertures Heart, the red light made his face change drastically.

bang bang bang...

The seven-orifice heart was beating violently, creating a strange resonance with the cook's heartbeat. The cook only felt his heart pounding as if it was trying to break free from the constraints of his flesh and jump out. An indescribable force was raging in his body.

A few seconds later, the cook staggered back, sweating profusely, and said gloomily: "You are tricking me!"

"What do you mean by 'deceiving you'? You wanted to take a piece of the Seven-Aperture Delicate Heart, and I didn't stop you." The bronze turtle responded calmly, "But you were right before. You really don't have the ability."

"I don't believe you can do it." The cook gritted his teeth.

"Then you watch carefully." The giant bronze turtle was very confident. It strode forward, stepped into the range of red light, and stood where the cook had been before.

"If an ordinary person wants to peek into this Seven Apertures Heart, as long as they get close to the heart, it will resonate with the Seven Apertures Heart, thus accelerating until it explodes. How can an ordinary person obtain this divine object?"

"This body of mine, the bronze divine turtle, is from the bronze palace ancestral hall. It is a dead object without a heart. The beating of the seven-orifice heart cannot affect me." The giant bronze turtle muttered to itself and walked forward step by step.

Twenty meters... eighteen meters... fifteen meters...

Having said that, with every step forward, the giant bronze turtle's expression became more solemn, and even its hard shell began to tremble slightly.

Finally, it stopped at fifteen meters.

"Sure enough, there is no way to cheat even if I occupy the body of a dead object. The path to becoming a god is harder than ascending to heaven..." the giant bronze turtle muttered to himself.

"It seems that you can't do it either." The cook breathed a sigh of relief.

This means he still has a chance.

"What do you know? I'm just testing you. If you want to get really close, you'll have to rely on these things." At this time, the giant bronze turtle's body shook, and dozens of copper shells fell out of it. The moment they landed, they gathered and floated in the shape of a staircase.

The giant bronze turtle climbed up the bronze shell steps with its four feet, and the pressure it had originally felt was instantly relieved a lot.

"How did you do that?" The cook held the kitchen knife with a surprised expression.

"I have been planning for this day for two months. You have no idea what happened two months ago."

The shell of the giant bronze turtle kept shaking, and a large number of copper shells fell out of it, building another layer of stairs, but the stairs behind it were also slowly cracking and turning into dust.

"What happened two months ago?" the cook asked in a low voice with a frown.

The information he learned in Chaoge City also pointed to two months ago.

Lu Yue, who was standing by, listened attentively with bated breath, his heart also filled with curiosity and anticipation.

The giant bronze turtle turned his gaze to the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart that was within reach. A strange smile suddenly appeared on his solemn face and he said, "The Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart is mine. It's okay to tell you some things."

“You should know that even a small ruin is beyond the reach of us, the Fourth Heaven Transcendents of the Divine Treasure. A god is a god. Even if a god is dead, its power is still there.”

"This bronze palace is the domain of God. Many of us who were selected in advance have entered it, but no one has left alive."

"That night two months ago... I made up my mind to go in and look for opportunities. The bronze palace was indeed dangerous, full of temptations and traps. Even I almost fell into those tortures hidden in the spiritual practice area."

"I didn't covet these small opportunities. I wanted to find a bigger opportunity. Finally, I found something in the ancestral temple deep in the bronze palace."

"If the Bronze Palace is the domain of God, then the Ancestral Temple is an absolute forbidden area. But I saw a woman running out of it with tribute in her arms."

"Woman?" The cook asked in a tone of disbelief.

"Yes, I followed them secretly and found that the dead god in the ruins was getting weaker and weaker... and everything in the temple was breaking and collapsing..."

"The dead god is trying to stop it, but it can't stop it."

"There is a force that even the gods fear that is devouring everything."

"The ancestral temple was destroyed, and the basic rules of Chaoge City were completely changed."

"The ruins have never had a situation that even the gods cannot control. It was that woman who appeared from the ancestral temple. It was she who caused Bigan to become weak and reduced the concentration of spiritual energy in the ruins..."

Lu Yue, who was eavesdropping, was shocked. You know, the ancestral temple is not only a place for sacrifice, but also has important political and power functions in ancient times, and it symbolizes authority.

If the ruins are compared to a copy, then the ancestral temple is the core code.

"I realized that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Bi Gan is weak, so why don't I take his place!" The giant bronze turtle's tone was full of ambition.

Even the cook's face was moved when he heard this.

He didn't expect that the village guard was so brave.

How dare you covet God’s body in front of God.

"Later, I failed. Even if I died, with only mechanical instincts left, a god who was still weakening was not someone I could covet."

"I was injured and my soul left my body. I took over the body of this bronze turtle in the ancestral temple and escaped. This giant turtle is not an ordinary bronze artifact. It is stained with Bigan's blood. It is not an ordinary dead object. It has some rules."

The cook frowned, he knew in his heart that the so-called "injury" was probably being beaten to death, otherwise the village guards would not have abandoned their bodies and souls to enter the body of the bronze turtle.

However, he did not expose the giant bronze turtle, but just listened quietly.

"After escaping from the ancestral temple, I passed by the main hall and saw this exquisite heart with seven orifices."

"Since I can't get the body of a god, if I can get the recognition of the Seven-Aperture Heart, I can also become a god. After I get the heart and kill Bigan, I will be the only god in the ruins."

"Unfortunately, I was unable to get close to the Seven Apertures Heart at that time."

"If you want to gain the recognition of the Seven Apertures Heart, you need something."

"This thing is a copper shell."

"Later, I came to the wine pool and meat forest. I used spiritual wine to repair the problem of the compatibility between my soul and the bronze turtle, and collected copper shells to prepare for becoming a god." The cook looked solemn.

The village guard is making a big move.

"As a result, I met a thief who stole wine and meat. That damn guy not only ate in front of me, but also gnawed on trees. After gnawing on the trees, he packed them in sacks. He came every day!!!" The giant bronze turtle was extremely angry.

"It's fine if you eat it yourself, but why give it to those ancients? Those creatures of rules don't know anything about natural treasures. It would be a waste to give them to them!"

"The two thieves I hate most in my life are mere thieves, and that man is one of them."

Even Lu Yue who was in the body bag could feel the bronze turtle's rage and murderous intent. It seemed that the thief was talking about Zhang Yaling.

"With your strength, why don't you take action?" asked the cook.

The bronze giant turtle continued to crawl towards the stairs and slowly said, "Because the thief who packed the bags was that woman. Bigan's temple collapsed because of her. Even Bigan couldn't stop her. Even if I occupied this body, I might not be her opponent."

The cook laughed inwardly, this was clearly a sign of cowardice.

"Later, the woman disappeared, which was a good thing. However, the ruins as a whole became increasingly deteriorating. Not only was the food supply in the entire city decreasing, but even the output of spirit wine and bacon was decreasing."

"Although my body is stained with Bigan's blood, and I know some secrets in advance, I have the upper hand, but because of the power of rules, I am forced to be trapped in the pool of wine and the forest of meat and cannot leave. Even if my soul leaves my body again, I can't take over another body, and I can't even leave for a long time."

"Speaking of which, I had not expected this. I am able to stand here today thanks to the second damn drug thief. If he hadn't sent so many ancients, even if I had a plan, I would not be able to implement it."

"When I become a god, I will make everyone ride on their heads and shit and piss, and then hang them at the entrance of the animal exhibition..."

The cook raised his eyebrows.

Some people don't understand who has offended this village guard.

Looking at the bronze turtle that kept throwing money, the cook continued to ask, "What are these bronze shells?"

The bronze giant turtle smiled evilly and said, "This bronze shell is a good thing. I occupy the body of this bronze divine turtle and can vaguely sense some changes in the rules."

"After the death of the extraordinary people in the ruins, their souls will be recycled by the ruins and made into copper shells. One extraordinary person is equivalent to one copper shell, and because the rules of the ruins are broken, these copper shells themselves have also integrated some rules."

"Bigan is known as the God of Wealth. If you want to obtain the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, you must pave the way with money. These copper shells are the means to becoming a god."

The cook now finally understood the village guard's plan. He had started planning all this two months ago and had made sufficient preparations for this clever trick.

“Although I cannot leave the world of wine and meat, and cannot kill people with my soul like the Yin-walkers, I can make these extraordinary people kill each other through continuous hypnosis and branding, and then use the spirit wine and bacon to buy back the copper coins.”

"No one in the entire ruins knows the function of copper shells better than me. I collected them for two months before I saved up the path to becoming a god..."

The giant bronze turtle's words were full of pride, but as it continued to approach the Seven Apertures Heart three meters ahead, it could no longer spit out bronze shells from its shell.

"No..." The screams of the giant bronze turtle echoed throughout the hall.

Just a few steps away… just a few steps away and he can become a god!!!
"Damn you, you drug thief! I'm going to eat your flesh, gnaw your bones, and trample you into pulp..."

The giant bronze turtle let out a long roar towards the sky. If it weren't for that damn young man who stole his spiritual wine and bargained for it these few days, he wouldn't have been able to be just a few steps away.

Without the copper shells to pave the way, the retreat stairs behind him had also disappeared.

The giant bronze turtle failed at the last moment and fell to the ground with a bang, its four legs facing the air.

The cook looked at the furious bronze turtle without saying a word. Although he was not afraid of the other party, there was no need to mock it at this time to avoid getting into trouble. Since the other party could not take away the Seven Aperture Heart, he still had a chance.

"I heard an old turtle barking. It seemed to be in this place."

"I heard the old bastard's cry, too."

The giant bronze turtle's roar immediately attracted many people, but at this moment, the furious giant bronze turtle could no longer maintain his rationality and completely vented his anger towards the drug thief on the extraordinary person who came.

"Is it you? Is it you who stole my spirit wine?"

"Answer me, is it you!!!"

"It's not you, why not you..."

"Drug thief, come out, you come out!!!"

The giant bronze turtle trampled on the enemies with its four legs, and the extraordinary people who came rushing over were all killed. They were seriously injured and knocked away before they could even see the enemy's appearance.

"Why is this heart floating in the air? It feels weird." A transcendental person who came over exclaimed when he saw the floating heart.

"It's really strange, could it be some treasure?"

"It should be a great opportunity."

"..."

After venting his anger, the giant bronze turtle finally calmed down. Seeing that more and more people were watching, he was worried that the secret of his Seven Aperture Heart would be exposed, so he prepared to kill those extraordinary people.

But at this moment, the cook stood up and blocked his way.

"What do you want to do?" The giant bronze turtle felt something was wrong.

"Everyone has a share of the treasures in the ruins, depending on their strength. Whoever can obtain this Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart can become the next generation of God. Do you want to take this great opportunity for yourself?"

"Do you know what you are talking about!!!" the giant bronze turtle shouted angrily, but it was obviously too late.

"What? You can become a god if you get the approval of the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart?"

"Fuck, that's becoming a god!!!"

"This Seven-Aperture Heart is destined for me."

The news of the Seven-Aperture Heart instantly swept across the entire Bronze Palace. It turned out that the greatest opportunity was within this palace. No one could resist the temptation to become a god.

Although there is only one chance to become a god, why can't that person be me?
