Nuwa Sister, Don't!

A heaven-shaking turtle cry echoed through nearly half the Primordial Wilderness, carrying grief, indignation, helplessness, and countless other emotions. It was enough to break the hearts of those who heard it and draw tears from their eyes.

Yet, sensing the powerful aura emanating from the northern Primordial Wilderness, all the great cultivators who heard the cry silently pretended that nothing had happened.

Did they not remember that, before the Dao Ancestor had attained the Dao, both he and Luohu had deliberately avoided the north when they fought? Let alone people like them.

In the Primordial Wilderness, any cultivator who had reached a certain level of cultivation knew that in the north stood an enormous turtle that had existed since the creation of heaven and earth. No one knew why it had remained motionless for so long, but its formidable aura was undeniably there.

Conservatively speaking, that giant turtle was at least at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm. Otherwise, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Luohu would not both have avoided the Northern Great Desolation back then.

For the same reason, no one knew much about that being in the north, and few great cultivators resided in the entire Northern Great Desolation. After all, no one wanted a powerful neighbor with an unknown temper.

However, within Mount Buzhou, an ancient being slowly opened her eyes.

For some reason, she vaguely felt that the turtle cry from earlier seemed to be connected to her.

Shen Gui was feeling miserable. Extremely miserable.

He had barely had time to relax!

After realizing that he had, by some stroke of luck, survived the Great Tribulation of Heaven Opening, Shen Gui's consciousness returned from his sea of consciousness to the outside world, intending to get a clear picture of his current situation.

Then he discovered that his true form was still a turtle.

That was not much of a problem. After all, he had been a turtle when he transmigrated into Chaos, and so had his Primordial Spirit. It was already set in stone. Even though Pangu had destroyed his original body and his current fleshly body had re-formed after heaven and earth were created, his Primordial Spirit was still the same.

None of that mattered. He was used to it anyway.

There was nothing bad about being a turtle. His defenses were strong, he was hard to kill, and his cultivation rose while he slept.

Setting that aside, Shen Gui then realized that even if he was a turtle, was he not a little too huge?

What the hell was this? The entire Northern Great Desolation was basically sitting on his back?

Moreover, perhaps because he had landed in the Northern Great Desolation before heaven and earth had fully stabilized, he discovered that he had become connected to the earth veins of the entire Northern Great Desolation. Apparently, that was also why he had grown so immense. More than half the land of the Northern Great Desolation was actually on the turtle shell on his back...

Not to mention anything else, merely opening his eyes and raising his head just now had caused an enormous mountain of unknown size to collapse, because that mountain had originally formed from sand and stones piled atop his head...

None of that mattered.

Although being this huge would probably make it difficult for me to take human form, my physical body is powerful!

Although being connected to the earth veins probably means I will find it difficult to leave the Northern Great Desolation for the rest of my life, I can also borrow the power of those earth veins! With a quarter of the Primordial Wilderness's earth-vein power, even a Saint might not be able to do anything to me!

After forcibly comforting himself, Shen Gui suddenly felt that this setup seemed rather familiar.

Born in the Northern Great Desolation, possessing an incomparably massive body, and being a turtle.

Shen Gui blinked and looked down. Fine, he could not see them because they were buried underground, but he could still sense those four thick, sturdy limbs.

Then he let out the turtle cry that had echoed through nearly half the Primordial Wilderness.

"Nuwa Sister, don't!"

Well, luckily it had been a turtle cry. Nuwa probably could not understand it.

Otherwise, Shen Gui feared that Nuwa might already be coming for him.

So that was why this setup felt so familiar! Isn't this the Giant Turtle of the Northern Darkness from the legends, whose limbs Nuwa would sever after Nuwa Mends the Heavens to use as Heavenly Pillars?

At once, Shen Gui felt like life had lost all meaning.

When other people transmigrated, they got harems, peerless power, and all kinds of cheats.

When I transmigrated, why did I end up hanging from Pangu's axe, with it able to come down on me at any moment?

And now, after finally surviving the Great Tribulation of Heaven Opening, obtaining the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, and getting a cheat, I find out Nuwa is going to kill me in the future too?

Why am I so miserable?

Moreover, if Shen Gui's senses were correct, it seemed that he had slept a little too long after heaven and earth were created. The Great Tribulation of Ferocious Beasts and the Great Tribulation of Dragon-Han had already passed, and Hongjun had even become a Saint.

In other words, he only had one more calamity epoch left to live before collecting his death flag.

Sob...

With lifeless eyes, Shen Gui raised his head to stare at the sky, his face filled with despair.

Who knew how long passed before Shen Gui suddenly shook his head.

That was close. I nearly fell asleep again.

That was exactly what happened before. I got myself killed by Pangu without even knowing what had happened. If Pangu had not been kind-hearted, there probably would not be any Shen Gui left now. Come to think of it, did Pangu spare me only so he could chop off my limbs to support the heavens in the future?

With a life-and-death crisis right before him, there was no way he could keep being a slacker.

Although someone as beautiful and kind as Nuwa Sister surely would not have the heart to harm such an adorable Small Turtle as me, at the very least she ought to leave behind my Primordial Spirit like Pangu did, right?

But wishful thinking was unacceptable. What if he really died this time?

Therefore, he could not wait for Nuwa Sister to make the first move. He had to act on his own!

For the first time, Shen Gui, who had been a slacker for so long, was filled with motivation.

I don't want to be a slacker!

I want to turn things around!

I want to be on top! (Something strange seems to have slipped in there QAQ)
