Simulating Endless Possibilities: Invincible Once I Act

Chapter 252: Life-Preserving Mystic Turtle

After reading the information about the Mystic Turtle, you fall into deep thought.

"Is this Mystic Turtle the same little tortoise from a billion years ago?"

The summary shown by the Chaos Heavy Pupil includes a phrase the Mystic Turtle remembers, which is quite similar to what you said to the little tortoise during that simulation a billion years ago.

You recall that the simulator displayed your words: "Cultivate well and strive to survive!"

However, considering the Mystic Turtle's talent, which causes memory loss, forgetting half of it seems plausible.

But if the Mystic Turtle is indeed the little tortoise, something doesn't add up.

In that simulation from a billion years ago, there was no mention of the little tortoise having the "Mutated Longevity Species" talent.

Could it be that it had it, but the simulator didn't show it?

Or perhaps something happened later that caused the Mystic Turtle to mutate?

You also remember that in a previous simulation, the Mystic Turtle even taught you a Formation Jade Slip.

If it were the little tortoise, how would it know about formations?

You didn't teach it formations a billion years ago.

No, that's not right! A billion years is a long time; even if you didn't teach it, the little tortoise could have learned elsewhere.

Moreover, you had set up a sixth-grade immortal formation to protect the little tortoise back then.

If it put in some effort, it might have learned a few things on its own.

Thinking about this, you're now ninety percent sure that this is indeed the little tortoise.

As for the reason?

It's simple: the Southern Regions are too special, and it seems many things are connected to you.

For instance, the confirmed White Tiger and the Phoenix from the Valley of Flames have some causal ties to you.

Previously, you had considered whether the Mystic Turtle might be the reincarnation of a Divine Tortoise.

You never thought it could be the little tortoise.

After all, the information displayed about the little tortoise in that simulation was too ordinary.

But often, things turn out to be unexpectedly surprising.

You sigh, "Perhaps this is fate!"

Upon realizing that the Mystic Turtle is very likely the little tortoise, you suddenly have many questions you want to ask it.

You think that a turtle that has lived for billions of years, even if it sleeps most of the time, should know quite a few secrets.

Remember the Divine Tortoise from back then? It lived for a billion years and knew secrets about the World Gate beyond the world's barriers during ancient times. ?

Could the Mystic Turtle also know many unknown secrets?

But then you remember that the Mystic Turtle is only at the Mystic Immortal Realm.

You shake your head.

You're overthinking it!

The Divine Tortoise knew secrets because it was strong enough to have access to them.

With the Mystic Turtle's strength?

Even if it is the little tortoise and has lived for a billion years, what important things could it possibly know?

With its strength, the things it knows probably wouldn't interest you.

That said, you still decide to take a chance, whether there's something to gain or not.

So, you gather chaotic energy to form a pair of giant hands, reaching into the Endless Sea to grab the Mystic Turtle.

You plan to pull the Mystic Turtle out and ask it some questions.

There might be a surprise, who knows?

The Mystic Turtle, sleeping soundly, is suddenly pulled out of the water by your giant hands.

It looks drowsy and displeased.

"Who is it? Disturbing my sleep?"

Could it be that guy with the surname Bai again?

Thinking of this, the Mystic Turtle subconsciously licks its lips.

If it's the one with the surname Bai, then it can endure!

It's not just about being unable to beat him; the key is that he gives too much.

Indeed, the Mystic Turtle hasn't noticed you at all this time.

Even when you made a move, it didn't realize it was you!

It kept thinking it was Bai Moyu again.

That's the effect of overwhelming strength.

However, you soon appear in front of the Mystic Turtle.

It realizes that it has misunderstood the situation.

Immediately, the Mystic Turtle becomes alert.

At this moment, the Mystic Turtle doesn't recognize you.

In its heart, it's wondering: Who is this? Why would a powerful being come here?

So it tentatively asks you, "Who are you?"

Seeing the Mystic Turtle's fearful expression, you suddenly recall a situation from a previous simulation.

You smirk and then slap the Mystic Turtle, sending it back to the bottom of the Endless Sea.

At the same time, your words reach the Mystic Turtle's ears: "Are turtles these days so disrespectful to the strong?"

Hearing this, the Mystic Turtle trembles at the bottom of the sea.

It keeps thinking: It's over, it's over, I've offended someone!

It doesn't realize that your slap, though grand, didn't harm it in the slightest.

Yes, that slap was just your mischievousness.

You remembered that in a previous simulation, the Mystic Turtle seemed to have treated you similarly.

So, you wanted to scare the Mystic Turtle in the same way.

And indeed, the Mystic Turtle was really frightened.

Seeing this, you shake your head and stop teasing the Mystic Turtle.

You take a step to the bottom of the Endless Sea, ready to ask the Mystic Turtle some questions to verify if it is the little tortoise!

Does it know any hidden secrets?

You think carefully but don't know how to ask.

Previously, the Chaos Heavy Pupil had already mentioned its severe memory loss.

This is tricky!

So, you directly let the Mystic Turtle speak for itself.

You ask it to recount everything it has experienced in detail.

Under your threat, the Mystic Turtle doesn't dare refuse.

It even actively reveals its memories for you to examine.

It is determined to live well, that's its obsession.

Compared to that, memories are nothing it cares about.

After all, your earlier words, "Do you not know to respect the strong," still echo in its ears.

It's afraid that if it doesn't cooperate, you might take action against it.

The Mystic Turtle's cooperation surprises you.

You know that generally, people are unwilling to expose their memories.

Especially strong individuals.

Their memories contain not only various secrets but also the risk of losing their cultivation level if someone examines them.

After all, insights into laws are part of one's memory.

Once someone deeply examines these memories, it's easy for them to comprehend them.

These are not laws comprehended from the world, so they can cause harm to the person involved.

This seems to be a rule similar to "conservation of energy."

It means the laws of the person whose memory is examined are shared with others.

For this reason, techniques to probe the memories of cultivators above the immortal realm are rare; you could even say nonexistent.

At least, you've never encountered one.

Normally, to view someone else's memories, aside from the person voluntarily exposing them for others to see, only those who have deeply comprehended the Dao of Time can return to the past to observe, or those who have comprehended the power of causality can deduce the general memory.

Now the Mystic Turtle directly reveals its memories for you to view.

You could say it's full of sincerity.

Of course, you could also say it's truly scared and cherishes its life!

It perfectly embodies the essence of "strive to survive."
