"Join forces to wipe it out?" A trace of undisguised shock flashed across Li Shun's face.
In his understanding, whether witches, demons, or gods, all were formidable existences far above humanity.
Moreover, they were hostile to one another, their slaughter never ceasing.
Yet the Turtle Treasure Civilization had actually forced all three sides to set aside their prejudices and join forces before they could utterly destroy it.
Borrowing the Outer God's power without paying any price... The former splendor and might of the Turtle Treasure Civilization were simply beyond imagination.
Li Shun took a deep breath and turned his gaze back to Turtle Treasure. "Since that civilization has already perished, what use does this Turtle Treasure it left behind have? Could it be..."
Having swiftly thought of a certain possibility, Li Shun's heart jolted violently.
Han Qi nodded slightly, confirming his guess. "Although that civilization perished, the pathways of its methods for reaching the Outer God were fixed upon this Turtle Shell. By relying on those pathways, we can, in a sense, replicate the Turtle Treasure Civilization's methods and borrow the Outer God's power once more."
