Chapter 181: The Black Tortoise Submits! Calmly Accepting Death!

"I am Diti, the Star God of the Ziwei Emperor Star, the Emperor of the Zhou Tian Star Dou, the Master of the Three Talents of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and the orthodox ruler of the Honghuang Tian Di!"

"This place is a space-time controlled by me."

"And the one beside me has the same identity and heavenly mandate as you."

"One of the four spiritual beasts appointed by heaven and earth: the White Tiger!"

As Diti's introduction fell, the confusion in the Black Tortoise's eyes dissipated slightly.

However, he was still incomparably confused about his identity and why he was here.

"May I ask, Your Excellency, what is the heavenly mandate you speak of?"

"Since I was born, I have felt that every moment is muddled and irritable, and I can only use slumber to suppress the restlessness in my heart."

"But as time passed, my cultivation inexplicably increased continuously, and my body size expanded uncontrollably,"

"all of which made me unable to remain calm."

"Inexplicable anger and irritable disgust are constantly churning in my mind every day."

"So much so that I became more and more irritable and less and less able to control myself."

"If it weren't for a guy named Kunpeng who suddenly took action against me, causing my divine soul to suffer some damage,"

"and then letting me take the opportunity to fall into silence,"

"I really don't know what kind of things I would have done."

"However, it seems better now."

"Having been awake for so long, I haven't felt the slightest anger or the desire to destroy everything."

Hearing this, a flash of realization crossed Diti's eyes.

No wonder when he checked the Black Tortoise's physical body and divine soul just now,

there were some old scars in the other party's divine soul that had not yet fully healed.

At first, he thought it was caused by the Black Tortoise itself.

He didn't expect it to be Kunpeng's handiwork.

If Kunpeng hadn't taken action to injure the Black Tortoise's divine soul,

if he wanted to take it into the Chaos Heaven and Earth quietly without alarming anyone,

he was afraid he would have to think of other ways and spend more effort.

"The heavenly mandate you bear is to return your four limbs to support the heaven-supporting pillars when the Buzhou Heaven Pillar collapses, and join forces with the White Tiger, the Azure Dragon, and the Vermilion Bird to stabilize the four poles of heaven and earth."

"Thereby allowing the Honghuang Tian Di to gather again, become prosperous and flourishing once more, and no longer have the danger of heaven and earth collapsing!"

"Is this my heavenly mandate?"

Hearing this, the Black Tortoise's eyes burst with some contemplation and entanglement.

Supporting heaven and earth with four limbs to keep heaven and earth safe.

This was a feat that even the creator god Pangu only succeeded in by sacrificing himself.

He was just a living being at the late stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

How could he possibly do such a thing?

And he was muddled and irritable every day,

with no intention of cultivating any divine abilities or techniques.

Letting him go to suppress the four poles and support the collapsed heaven and earth,

wasn't this clearly asking him to die?

But this was a mandate added by heaven and earth,

imposed on him from birth.

Even if he insisted on not going or deliberately hid,

he was afraid he would be searched out by other living beings

and forcibly arranged to complete the heavenly mandate of saving the world!

"Your Excellency, I wonder what your purpose is?"

"Knowing the future and recruiting the present..."

"If there is no plot, I'm afraid it's hard to justify, right?"

Showing favor without cause is either treacherous or thieving.

Even if the Black Tortoise was often in a state of slumber,

he still possessed some basic common sense and thinking.

This kind of situation that could be seen at a glance,

if he still couldn't see what it meant,

then he could really find a place to continue sleeping and wait for the Buzhou Heaven Pillar to collapse before going to die.

"Currently, the Heavenly Dao within the Honghuang Tian Di is controlled by a bug named Hongjun."

"His goal is to drag the Honghuang world to continuously weaken until the rank of the Honghuang Tian Di falls to a level he can bear."

"By using the authority of the Heavenly Dao, he intends to annex the Earth Dao and the Human Dao, and by using the three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Man, he intends to fuse the fortune of all spirits in Honghuang and sacrifice everything within the Honghuang Tian Di."

"Thereby breaking his own limits, ascending to the peak of the Hunyuan Heavenly Dao, and catching a glimpse of the scenery of the Great Dao Supreme."

"This method of killing the chicken to get the eggs will undoubtedly lead the Honghuang Tian Di to gradually move towards destruction, and thousands of living beings will turn into ashes."

"In order to avoid such a tragedy,"

"I was born in response to the expectations of countless living beings and the hope of the Honghuang Tian Di!"

Hearing this, the Black Tortoise's eyes looking at Diti showed some softness and approval.

Although he didn't know if it was true or false,

he could see from the expression revealed in Diti's words, as well as the perseverance and sincerity in his eyes,

that the other party was not lying.

He was indeed unwilling to sacrifice himself,

but this matter was not decided by himself.

Since he couldn't decide his own life and death,

then why not make his death more meaningful?

In this way, even if his physical body turned into a heaven-supporting pillar, his divine soul completely dissipated, and his true spirit fell into eternal silence,

at the very least, the ten thousand races of Honghuang and all living beings under heaven would remember his great achievements!

"The power I control now already exceeds the forces controlled by Hongjun."

"In not long, it will be the time for me and Hongjun to officially start a war and decide the winner."

"If I win, Honghuang will definitely become prosperous and flourishing again."

"If I lose, Honghuang will gradually move towards weakness and destruction!"

"In order to avoid him jumping over the wall in a hurry and dragging the entire Honghuang Tian Di to be buried with him,"

"I gathered you all together."

"With the help of the Earth Dao, the Human Dao, and your joint efforts, we can definitely ensure that the Honghuang Tian Di is not destroyed!"

"In this way, I can put down all my scruples and kill Hongjun with all my might, cutting off his ambition to continue harming all living beings and destroying Honghuang!"

Hearing this, the Black Tortoise nodded slightly and directly agreed with Diti's idea.

"I will cooperate with you to complete the mission of saving Honghuang."

"I hope you can keep your word, lead Honghuang to prosperity, and allow all living beings to continue to pass on."

"If one day in the future, you go against your original intention,"

"even if I am smashed to pieces and my true spirit is destroyed, I will never let you succeed!"

Regarding the Black Tortoise's threat, there was not the slightest anger in Diti's eyes; instead, he admired the other party a little.

Calmly accepting death and harboring the heart to save all living beings.

Just these two points alone, I'm afraid that looking at the entire Honghuang Tian Di, one cannot count them on five fingers.

"Don't worry, the Honghuang Tian Di is the hard work of Father God; no matter what, I cannot watch it move towards destruction."

"In addition, you don't have to worry about yourself perishing."

"I have already united with the blood descendants of Father God to create the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

"Allowing all living beings to have the opportunity to be reincarnated and start over."

"After you complete your mission, I will send your true spirit into reincarnation."

"Giving you the opportunity to step on the path of the Dao again."

"By then, you can personally monitor my every move,"

"and see if I have broken my promise and pushed Honghuang into a more desperate abyss!"
