Xiao Wenbing glared at him and said, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
Since the God of Solitude had made this suggestion, there must be a way to solve it, so Xiao Wenbing was not in a hurry.
"Hehe, there is a weakness in the old tortoise. If you go and blow it up, although you still won't be able to hurt it, it should be able to forcefully interrupt its sleep."
Xiao Wenbing hurriedly asked, "Where?"
"Inside its mouth."
Xiao Wenbing was taken aback, sighed, and said, "Senior, I'm afraid I can't do it."
Indeed, if he had the ability to pry open the Turtle God's mouth and stuff in the divine power crystal, he could simply knock it over; why go through all that trouble?
The Lonely God laughed and said, "Little friend, you may not know this, but if that lazy turtle is fast asleep, it will automatically open its mouth. You don't need to pry it open at all. Just find it, and while it's asleep, put the thing inside. After you've run far away, cast a spell, and everything will be fine." His smile grew even wider: "The rest is up to us to watch the show from the sidelines."
"Watching the show?" Xiao Wenbing stared dumbfounded at this famous figure in the God Realm, and finally said, "Senior, you can do something so fun yourself."
"No," the Lonely God immediately rejected. "The old tortoise and I are good friends. It wouldn't be fair to do that."
Xiao Wenbing glanced at him sideways, quite doubting whether the old man still knew how to write the word "honesty" or "kindness".
After a moment's thought, Xiao Wenbing said, "The Turtle God is, after all, one of the ancient gods, with unfathomable divine power. If it detects us, I'm afraid..."
"Don't worry, once the old tortoise falls asleep, it won't care even if all the gods come to its side." The Lonely God stroked his beard and pondered, "I think those old friends couldn't wake it up, so they left it all alone here."
“Alright, I’ll go.” After considering for a moment, Xiao Wenbing said, “But I don’t know where the Turtle God is right now.”
The Lonely God paused slightly, then said, "Didn't you once use a guiding spell to find the Lazy Turtle's territory? Let me tell you, that guy is incredibly lazy. Although he can fall asleep anywhere, once he wakes up, he always goes back to his original spot to sleep. So as long as you use the guiding spell to open that realm again, you'll definitely see the Lazy Turtle."
Xiao Wenbing pondered for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "Senior, are you saying that Senior Turtle is used to returning to its lair to sleep, right?"
"Exactly."
"Then the senior should know the location of its lair, so why didn't you just tell us directly?"
The lonely god sighed and said with distress, "Who said I didn't want to tell you? It's just that I've already gone to look for it."
Seeing the old man's expression, Xiao Wenbing guessed that he must have returned empty-handed.
Not only was it not found in the Turtle God's lair, but it was also nowhere to be found in that realm. Otherwise, with the immense power of this ancient deity, how could he not find it?
Xiao Wenbing also sighed sadly, just like him, and said, "Senior, the characteristic of the guiding technique is to open the entrance to any plane. Although Bai Yi once connected to the world of the Turtle God by chance, that was just a lucky stumble. If you want to have such good luck again, I'm afraid it is unlikely."
The Lonely God shook his head repeatedly and said, "You are wrong. Although the guiding spell is Thor's unique secret technique, as far as I know, this spell can absolutely open the entrance to a specified plane at will."
Xiao Wenbing turned to look at Feng Baiyi, and saw the beautiful fairy ponder for a moment before saying, "After becoming a god, it can be done."
Although it was just a few words, everyone understood that after Feng Baiyi became a god, he could indeed open any designated plane entrance.
"Then is it possible to find a dimension that was previously opened?" Xiao Wenbing quickly asked.
"I'm afraid not," Feng Baiyi replied without hesitation.
Xiao Wenbing spread his hands and said, "Senior, as you can see, even the white-robed one couldn't do anything. I'm afraid we won't be able to find that old tortoise."
After much deliberation, the solitary god finally flipped his wrist and pulled out a piece of jade.
Xiao Wenbing stared intently at the jade, which was square in shape and made of some kind of beautiful jade. It was crystal clear and dazzling. When he held it in his hand and shook it slightly, it immediately emitted a myriad of colorful rays, which was breathtaking.
"What kind of treasure is this?" Xiao Wenbing asked enviously.
Although he had seen quite a few treasures, in terms of beauty, there really wasn't any magic weapon that could surpass this one.
"This is a mirage."
"Huh?" Xiao Wenbing exclaimed in surprise, looking at the beautiful and strange, ever-changing scenery in the sky. It really did resemble...
The feeling of the building.
"The greatest function of this magical artifact is to help everyone regain their past memories," the Lonely God smiled. "Even the memories of gods can be found."
Xiao Wenbing slapped his thigh and said, "What a treasure! Once we give this to Baiyi, we can find the entrance to that dimension."
"That's right, kid, you're clever." The Lonely God laughed and handed over the mirage.
Xiao Wenbing took it in his hand and touched it with great affection. Suddenly, a light flashed on the jade, and a small human figure jumped out from the jade and bowed deeply to him.
"This is... a spirit of a divine artifact." Xiao Wenbing was startled at first, then immediately realized something was amiss, and realized that this beautiful magic weapon was actually a genuine divine artifact that had already developed a spirit.
That artifact spirit was completely different from the Mirror God; its entire body was semi-transparent, and its face was absolutely stunning. However, Xiao Wenbing knew that these kinds of artifact spirits were genderless beings, so even if they were exceptionally beautiful, they wouldn't be considered women.
"What do you want?" Xiao Wenbing asked, already realizing that the little thing seemed to need his help.
The spirit of the mirage did not answer, but simply bowed to him again, with utmost respect.
Stroking his scalp, Xiao Wenbing looked at the Lonely God.
The old man looked rather forlorn. Finally, he sighed and said, "Fine, fine, young man. If you promise this old man one thing, I'll give you this magical artifact."
Xiao Wenbing was overjoyed; he truly loved this treasure. Not just him, but probably anyone, male or female, would covet such a beautiful and incredible object.
However, after hesitating for a long time, he still declined, saying, "If you have anything to say, please just tell me. As long as it is within my power, I will definitely not refuse. But as for this mirage, I dare not accept it."
"You don't want it?" the lonely god asked curiously. "This is a gift from me, why don't you want it?"
Xiao Wenbing looked troubled, then suddenly stepped forward, stood next to the old man, and said softly, "If I take this treasure, I will definitely have to give it away. But between the two people, which one should I give it to?"
The Lonely God looked at him with a strange expression, then his gaze quickly swept over Zhang and Feng, before he burst into laughter.
Xiao Wenbing chuckled awkwardly twice, then changed the subject, saying, "Please give me your instructions, senior."
The solitary god shook his head, flipped his hand again, and took out another identical piece of jade.
Xiao Wenbing's eyes lit up, and he reached out to snatch it, exclaiming, "Thank you for your generous gift, senior."
"No need to thank me," said the Lonely God. "These things aren't given to you for free; you'll be busy with them in the future."
In a flash, a tiny, exquisite figure jumped out from the jade scroll. Compared to the spirit of the previous mirage, this figure seemed to have a richer color, a slightly larger size, and even more divine power, indicating that it had cultivated for a longer period of time.
After the little man came out, he bowed deeply to Xiao Wenbing, his face full of longing.
"What exactly do they want to do?" Xiao Wenbing said, frustrated.
"Of course I want to ask you for a favor."
"What's up?"
“Please give them something.”
"Please tell me, sir."
“What they’re asking for is the thing you gave that turtle shell,” the Lonely God explained.
Xiao Wenbing suddenly realized that what they were seeking was the power of the creator god.
Divine artifacts possess spirituality, so they also have the potential to become gods, but not every divine artifact can become a god.
For a weapon spirit to become a god, it must absorb a sufficient amount of the power of the creator god in order to finally break free from the category of magical artifacts and become a true god.
Just as all immortals aspire to become gods, these self-aware divine artifacts also desire to become gods.
Therefore, after sensing the power of creation within Xiao Wenbing, these divine artifacts began to plan for themselves.
With a hearty laugh, Xiao Wenbing said, "Don't worry, I'm definitely not a stingy person. I'll help you become gods in the future."
The two scoundrels were overjoyed and became even more respectful to Xiao Wenbing.
Xiao Wenbing handed the two mirages to the two women, saying, "From now on, they will be your masters. Follow them, be obedient, understand?"
The two spirits of the artifacts responded simultaneously, their voices soft, sweet, and very moving.
Both Feng Baiyi and Zhang Yaqi showed great delight at the gift, which made Xiao Wenbing sigh in his heart: even if a woman becomes a god, she is still a very emotional creature.
“I’ve given you the things, now you can help me,” the Lonely God said, grabbing him.
"Sure, whatever you say."
“I have some magical artifacts, which are my old companions for many years. Why don’t you give them a hand?”
"Alright, take them out." Xiao Wenbing said nonchalantly, "One, two, three... You have so many divine artifacts, a hundred already. Wait, what's more... Senior, are you planning to squeeze me dry?"
Volume 22, Chapter 60: Tracing the Footsteps
------------------------
Suddenly, beautiful ripples appeared in the air, spreading out from Feng Baiyi's clothes.
These ripples spread outwards, disappearing abruptly when they reached within ten meters of her, as if they had vanished into a strange place and vanished without a trace.
While observing the situation, Xiao Wenbing frowned and asked, "Senior, do you think the white-robed man can really find the Turtle God's abode?"
"Of course," the Lonely God Lord affirmed. "This mirage was originally a divine artifact that had become a spirit, and now that it has received your power of creation, its cultivation has greatly improved. Although that girl's strength is somewhat lacking, she can still recall the plane from which the guiding technique was used."
Xiao Wenbing gave him a disapproving look, but he had to admit that what he said made a lot of sense. Feng Baiyi had only been a god for a short time, so his divine power was naturally nothing to the lonely god-king.
After the massacre of tens of thousands, Xiao Wenbing began to infuse the artifacts of the Lonely God Lord with the power of creation. The old man truly lived up to his reputation as an ancient god; the number of artifacts he possessed was enough to open a shop.
Fortunately, after Xiao Wenbing became a god, his energy absorption speed also increased. With the continuous support of the Void Cauldron, it took him more than a year to finally infuse all those divine artifacts with energy.
Of course, the first to enjoy this treatment were the two mirages.
After resolving the issue of the Lonely God, he began to simulate the aura of those dozen or so gods and condense divine power crystals.
Whether it was because he had already become a god or not, the process was unexpectedly smooth. In just half a year, he had already condensed all one thousand divine power crystals.
Of course, only a dozen or so were actually condensed; the rest were simply copied one by one by the Dark Infants.
However, these replicas are indistinguishable from the original, so even the lonely god-king couldn't tell the difference. It's likely that the sleeping tortoise god would be even less able to identify them.
After collecting enough Origin Crystals, the Lonely God Lord began urging them to carry out the previously planned scheme.
Ambushing the Turtle God was actually a rather risky thing to do, and in Xiao Wenbing's eyes, there was really no need to do so. However, with the Lonely God so enthusiastic in helping, they had no choice but to reluctantly take action.
During this time, Feng Baiyi had already integrated the mirage with her own thoughts, which is why she was able to fully utilize the power of this special artifact to search for every memory in her heart.
Within the Fiery Realm, under the immense calamity that claimed ten thousand lives, every step and every bit of power used in the guiding technique was perfectly reproduced on the mirage.
Based on these energy changes, a similar scenario can be re-simulated before the same plane can be opened.
This process is incredibly complicated; if even the slightest mistake is made in any small step, all the previous efforts will be in vain.
