Chapter 216 Three Secrets

"Her hand fell limp in my despair. I watched her life wither away from its infancy, even though we had such beautiful and precious memories together."

Am's voice was utterly dejected. Aning's death had been a devastating blow to him. He had never felt so acutely that his time was relentlessly slipping away, experiencing firsthand the terror that time brought, and he feared and wanted to escape because of it.

"In order not to let this memory fade away in my long memories, I have rarely left this place since I came back. For more than six thousand years, I have recalled those brief two hundred years every day and night, once, twice, five times, ten times, and to this day, it has been thirty-three times."

Similarly, I am afraid to see humans, afraid to see in you time that I cannot see, terrifying time!

Time is a blessing, but also a curse. Amu had previously thought that having an endless lifespan was a stroke of luck given by God, and for this reason he lived for thousands of years in the deep sea and met his sister, who was of the same kind.

But now he only feels that time is a curse, that it makes him cowardly, afraid of death and trying to forget, that it makes him fearful, afraid of witnessing time that he cannot reach once again.

Slowly, he picked up the plant in his hands and handed it to Ning Wuque, explaining gently:

"After Aning died, I discovered that her soul did not dissipate, but floated up into the sky. So I tried to intervene with time. Fortunately, I was able to keep her soul in this world and pull it into a vessel through repeated backtracking."

At first it was her original body, then a vibrant body, and finally this special orchid tail that I traded with an old friend. Now, I only need to care for it once a year to keep Ah Ning's soul forever asleep inside.

"So devoted, sir."

It's a bit abstract. Ning Wuque thought it was really too abstract. Upon closer inspection, wasn't this just imprisoning his lover's soul for six thousand years? Although he had been in a state of slumber without feeling anything, what kind of Douluo Continent version of Ferguson was this?

He now understood what kind of help Amu wanted him to provide. Under normal circumstances, the methods of resurrection in Douluo Continent were quite limited, especially for those who had been dead for a long time, there was basically no hope.

The reason Amu was so excited after learning his identity as a divine examiner was that he wanted to see if the gods could resurrect A Ning, who still had a soul.

Ning Wuque shook his head and tried to dissuade him from this idea, for a very simple reason:

"If you're just trying to ask for this, let's not even talk about whether God can do it. Even if He could, in the end it would just be another memory from a hundred or two hundred years ago, and you would still be in great pain."

"Then let A-Ning become a soul beast and stay with me for ten thousand years! Tens of thousands of years! Or let me become human and accompany her through her life before dying peacefully! I really want to—I've wanted to end my own life for a long time, but I didn't dare at first, but now—"

Am was very excited. He had long since given up on the memories of this life, but:

"But I can't now. There's still hope for Aning's resurrection, and there's still hope that I can be with her one more time. I can't end my own life before that hope is completely extinguished!"

"Sigh—alright, I promise you, if the rules allow it, I can help you, and even if they don't, I'll try my best to help you. But you'd better pray that I can become a god, otherwise you'll just have to wait for the next lucky person who has the chance to become a god."

After hearing all this, Ning Wuque felt that he had no reason not to help in the next round, but he couldn't really make a 100% guarantee.

Gods certainly have the power to reclaim souls, especially since the divine position he is to inherit is that of the God of Destruction, one of the God-Kings. But as for resurrection—Ning Wuque really didn't know if it was possible. What if the God of Destruction said it was impossible? There was nothing he could do about it.

At most, they would be sent to be reincarnated, and then the sects below would make arrangements for them. Anything more than that would probably not work. After all, there can be no order without rules, and he is not some third party.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

After Ning Wuque let go, the two Time-Reversing Lighthouse Mu simultaneously surrounded him, gently stroking him with their tentacles to express their affection.

Behind him, Gu Long shook his head slightly and looked at Amu with a pitiful look in his eyes. He had lived for a long time and never expected that a soul beast would have such a heartbreaking emotional story.

Honestly, if he weren't so incredibly skilled, he would have already started wiping away tears, feeling the pain himself.

After a long silence, Amu finally released Ning Wuque, hugged the foxtail grass in her hands, thanked him repeatedly, and then put it back into the pool to nurture it.

"I've finished telling you what happened. My sister will leave with you, so I'll leave it at that. Before we go, would you like to hear about three secrets of the deep sea? If you don't think you need them, I'll personally take you up there."

"Then tell me, I might come to the deep sea a couple more times later."

"Then you'd better remember this well: two of these three secrets involve the most dangerous things in the deep sea. Don't blame me for not warning you."

Suppressing his sadness and drawing it into his spiritual sea, Amu solemnly recounted these three secrets, each one causing the ancient dragon behind Ning Wuque to change its expression repeatedly:

"First of all, something you humans absolutely don't know is that our Deep Sea Overlord is actually a Deep Sea Demon Whale King with a cultivation of 970,000 years. She is the wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King who was killed by the successor of the Sea God 10,000 years ago. She usually roams and hunts in the wide sea area between 10,000 and 15,000 meters deep and sleeps on the seabed at a depth of 20,000 meters."

The second piece of information concerns the deep sea. The vast seabed 15,000 meters below is where most 100,000-year-old sea spirit beasts and ferocious sea monsters like to sleep. You can choose to bypass it. However, the danger in this area is much higher than you imagine, so don't underestimate it.

"One last piece of information: treasures are usually found in underground mountain caves below 15,000 meters. If you're interested, you can go and look for them. That's all."

"Yes, thank you for letting me know. These things are indeed of some use to me."

I nodded and thanked them. The first message alone was worth it. From now on, I can take the opposite path.

Beside Ning Wuque, Gu Long's expression changed several times after hearing this, before finally nodding with some relief:

"The deep sea... never mind, Wuque, shall we leave now?"

"Are you leaving?"

"Well, after I go back and test out the spirit, I should have become a god by the time we meet again."

"Then I'll see you off."
