Chapter 2381: 2381 Chapter 2381: Water Stop Celestial Venerable: Are You Truly Willing? The sea turtle took a breath, inhaling a large amount of seawater along with Lin Moyu’s essence blood. After absorbing the essence blood, it didn’t forget to close its eyes and savor it, even smacking its lips twice. Lin Moyu’s mouth twitched twice, "This senior seems to like eating blood." The sea turtle reopened its eyes, once again staring intently at Lin Moyu. However, Lin Moyu felt that the sea turtle’s gaze had changed. Previously, its eyes were full of warning, but now, its gaze was more like appreciating a delicious dish. "This guy, it couldn’t be thinking of eating me, right?" Lin Moyu thought of various ways to respond in his mind, considering how to deal with the situation if the sea turtle really decided to attack him. Divine Power Lich, Skeleton King, Ancestral Water, and he also had four Celestial Venerable corpses in his possession. Killing the sea turtle wouldn’t be difficult, but the challenge lay in the potential chain reaction it might trigger. The sea turtle had mentioned rules in the Interface Sea, clearly indicating that it wasn’t the one who set these rules. There must be someone else behind it. Those who could stand behind a Celestial Venerable were likely to be Dao Venerables. Killing a Celestial Venerable right after arriving in the Interface Sea and offending a Dao Venerable would mean he couldn’t survive in the Interface Sea anymore. Worse still, even the Great World might be destroyed by a Dao Venerable’s palm strike. Fortunately, after watching for a while, the sea turtle finally shifted its gaze away, "You may go, but don’t let it happen again." The sea turtle was clearly somewhat reluctant, but it still gave up, evidently constrained by these rules as well. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 Lin Moyu’s eyes flickered, and he first offered some flattery, "Thank you, senior, for your magnanimity. May I ask for your esteemed name? This junior..." The sea turtle snorted, interrupting Lin Moyu’s words, "Stop the flattery." It seemed a bit impatient, clearly not falling for Lin Moyu’s tactics. Lin Moyu also understood that this sea turtle, having lived for who knows how many years, had become quite intelligent. Its mind was probably even sharper than that of humans. Lin Moyu persisted shamelessly, "This junior is sincere, senior. Rest assured, I will abide by the rules of the Interface Sea. If there’s anything senior needs me to do, please don’t hesitate to ask." The sea turtle tilted its head, looking at Lin Moyu, "Telling you my name is not impossible. Do you have any more of that blood from earlier?" Sure enough! It was after his essence blood. Because of the rules restricting it, it couldn’t take by force, but if he offered voluntarily... Of course, he had essence blood, as much as needed. Even if he lost all the essence blood in his body, as long as his New Life talent activated, it would be immediately replenished. For others, essence blood was very precious, but for him, it truly wasn’t valuable. However, Lin Moyu wouldn’t show this. No matter how worthless it was to him, he still had to act as if it was very precious. Lin Moyu said, "For this junior to lose essence blood, recovery is very difficult, and it might even damage my foundation..." As he spoke, he watched the sea turtle’s expression. Seeing its face darken a bit, Lin Moyu quickly changed his tone, "But if senior needs it, no matter how difficult, this junior will produce it." Frowning, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out three drops of essence blood. The moment the essence blood flew out, his face turned pale, and even his aura became unstable. Playing the part fully, he pretended to be in a weakened state, very convincingly. The sea turtle stared at Lin Moyu, as if trying to discern truth from falsehood. It was very cautious, not easily fooled by a few words. After a while, the sea turtle said in a low voice, "Are you truly willing to give it to me?" As it spoke, its gaze was already fixed on the three drops of essence blood, unable to look away. Lin Moyu said, "Of course!" The sea turtle continued to ask, "This Venerable hasn’t forced you, are you sure it’s of your own free will?" Lin Moyu squeezed out a smile, "Of course, it’s all this junior’s own will." Saying this, he brought the three drops of essence blood before the sea turtle, delivering the gift right to its doorstep. The sea turtle finally felt at ease and accepted the three drops of essence blood, "You’re not bad. Since that’s the case, this Venerable can’t mistreat you." As it finished speaking, a pearl flew out from its turtle shell, looking no different from the inheritance pearls Lin Moyu had seen before. The sea turtle placed the pearl in Lin Moyu’s hand, "This Venerable’s title is Water Stop, Water Stop Celestial Venerable." "From now on, if you encounter trouble in this area, just use it to call me, and this Venerable will come to help you resolve it." "However, there’s a price for this Venerable’s assistance, you understand!" Lin Moyu immediately put away the pearl and said happily, "Thank you, senior." Water Stop Celestial Venerable grunted, feigning aloofness, "Alright, you may continue, but don’t break the rules. This Venerable is leaving." After saying this, Water Stop Celestial Venerable turned and left, disappearing in an instant. Lin Moyu looked at the pearl in his hand. The pearl itself wasn’t valuable, just a sensing tool. This was the Interface Sea after all, where shells and pearls were the least scarce items. However, the pearl was still very useful. If used properly, it could greatly help him understand the Interface Sea. "From what I know now, Water Stop Celestial Venerable likes my essence blood." "Actually, it’s not the essence blood itself, but the origin aura within it." "My origin aura is somewhat mixed, coming from two origin spells, the fourth-level origin fish pill, the fifth-level origin fire seed, and the sixth-level Great World origin." "These origin powers have all merged into my blood, creating the special nature of my essence blood." "Although the origin aura is concentrated, its actual effect isn’t great, as the origin power is very diluted." Lin Moyu was very clear about the effects of his essence blood. While the origin aura was abundant, the actual power wasn’t much. It was like a dish that smells fragrant but doesn’t have much taste when eaten. He analyzed slowly, "Looking at it this way, Water Stop Celestial Venerable is like those strange fish, fond of origin power." "It’s just that the strange fish don’t need to follow rules, while Water Stop Celestial Venerable does, so it can’t take by force." Thinking of this, Lin Moyu had already figured out how to interact with Water Stop Celestial Venerable. He had a way to quickly become close friends with Water Stop Celestial Venerable. Of course, the premise was that he had to be sincere, which was very important. In front of a Celestial Venerable, one shouldn’t play tricks; Celestial Venerables weren’t fools. With sincerity, he could then try to get some information, which wouldn’t be impossible. At least for Water Stop Celestial Venerable, it wouldn’t lose anything. Lin Moyu changed locations and continued to search for strange fish. Unable to use origin power as bait, he could only use fresh blood to attract other fish schools, greatly reducing efficiency. However, the rules couldn’t be broken, at least not with his current strength. Lin Moyu continued hunting in the Interface Sea, relying on the number of skeleton divine generals. He was still able to attract quite a few fish schools. Gradually, he discovered that the Interface Sea wasn’t just filled with fish, but also had some other creatures. He had encountered a group of water snakes earlier, and later some crab-like beings. From this perspective, the Interface Sea wasn’t that different from ordinary oceans. Lin Moyu stayed in the Interface Sea for a hundred days before returning to the Great World. A hundred days in the Interface Sea translated to 2,700 years in the Great World. For the people in the Great World, 2,700 years was a very long time. Lin Moyu thought of those Celestial Venerables who had left, and the two million years in the Great World that had seen changes from ancient times to the present. In reality, only twenty thousand years had passed. Such a large time difference was indeed hard to imagine. Lin Moyu returned to the Great World and sensed its origin. It was the same as when he left; the Great World’s origin hadn’t changed, neither collapsing nor recovering. However, this time, he brought origin power, enough to allow the Great World to recover somewhat. After nearly three thousand years, Lin Moyu once again stood before the Great World’s runes. Communicating with the Great World’s runes, Lin Moyu let out a soft exclamation, "Two Supreme Beings have appeared in the Great World."
