The strange turtle, who originally thought he could proudly counterattack, finally accepted his fate with a dizzy head and bruised face after being beaten up by the ninety-two fierce brothers in Wu Xiangwang's sea of consciousness.
What could he do if he didn't accept his fate? Encountering a human who wasn't even human and whose mind was full of cruelty and ferocity, not to mention that this simple and kind Weird One couldn't handle it, Nine Thousand Years Old felt that even if the King of Wisdom came in person, if they and this human were to fight, who would win?
Never mind. He was determined to be a nine thousand year old ghost who survived till the end. Fighting and killing were too brutal. He might as well try to outlive all the other ghosts.
As long as he is still alive, he can defeat the monsters that are more powerful than him one by one, and one day he will become the king of monsters in this world!
And now, the first step for the King of Weirdness is... to become the voice of the Weird World Baidu.
Yes, Wu Xiangwang did not continue to move forward, but pulled the turtle to a strange stop on the fifth floor of the Tower of Destiny and began to question.
Wu Xiangwang was not in a hurry to continue moving forward, because the fate constraints of the eight fierce beasts in his mind had not been completely eaten away by the tardigrades, and he still had some concerns about the unpredictable fate of the sixth to ninth levels.
Anyway, this time he didn't plan to leave the city early, nor did he provoke any particularly powerful monsters in the city or directly confront the city lord, so it was no problem for him to stay longer.
Secondly, there is the ready-made turtle Baidu here. He wants to ask about all the things he cares about before thinking about the next step.
Things will be better if you take it slow. Anyway, he has enough food, water and energy in this tower, so it doesn't matter if he stays for a few more days.
So Wu Xiangwang poured out everything he got from the treasure chest on the second floor from his shell backpack.
Prepare to count your spoils while searching on Baidu Turtle.
When Jiu Qian Sui saw that his new boss could actually open up a storage space in the Tower of Destiny and smuggle the treasures in the Tower of Destiny, his black eyes suddenly widened.
"You, you you you! Boss, you're awesome!"
"Although the Prince of Wisdom and I both suspected that it was possible to fight fate in the Tower of Destiny, offset or remove some of the suppression of fate's power, and restore one's own abilities, you are the first boss to actually do it!"
"Whether human or weird, they're both undeniably number one. Awesome!"
Wu Xiangwang first piled the copper and silver energy coins to the side. "You were able to guess it without even arriving at the Tower of Destiny. That's pretty impressive, isn't it?"
"There's still plenty of time, so let's just chat here first."
As he said this, Wu Xiangwang threw an energy coin to Jiuqiansui: "Ask me a question and I'll give you an energy coin. I'm not one to mistreat my followers."
Jiu Qian Sui's expression was indescribable as he held the energy gold coin. It just so happened that he had a weird expression on his face right now, otherwise he would have rolled his eyes uncontrollably.
As the second in command of the Royal Capital Hunting Team, he has a substantial fortune.
However, it is better to earn money than to give away all your belongings.
Turtle Nine nodded politely, "Boss, ask whatever you want. I'll keep nothing secret from you about anything I know."
Wu Xiangwang looked at Him: "Let me first talk about what kind of existence the King of Wisdom is. He seems to have done a lot of things."
"We're in the Tower of Destiny now. All strange energies are forbidden here, right? So don't try to fool me with unimportant information.
You are a coward, so you should know that playing both sides will never end well.
The turtle was weird: “.”
You have said all the good and bad things, so what else can the turtle do?
Of course I told the truth.
"The Lord of Wisdom is an existence that is equal to the king in all the kingdoms. He is below one trick and above all tricks."
The first sentence that Jiu Qiansui said was very explosive.
"Boss, I believe you should have long known the classification of strange abilities in the strange world. According to the classification of strange energy, the strangeness in the strange world is divided into levels one to ten."
"Levels one to three are the weak primary levels, and levels four to six are the intermediate levels that most capable monsters and human adventurers can reach.
Level seven, including all weird and human adventurers above level seven, can be considered advanced."
"Starting from level seven, Weird can work hard to obtain the title."
"Level seven and above can strive to obtain the title of Earl, and level eight and above can be promoted to Marquis. Level nine and above are quasi-king level, and level ten is king."
Wu Xiangwang frowned upon hearing this: "In that case, wouldn't the Lord of Wisdom be a level ten weird? But if he is level ten, then could it be that your King of Weirdness is still level eleven?"
When Jiu Qian Sui heard this question, he was silent for a few seconds in a suspicious manner, as if he was hesitant about whether he could tell Wu Xiangwang these things. But when he met Wu Xiangwang's eyes, he felt that his Yuan core was hurting again, and he must have been hit by some powerful beast again. All his hesitation disappeared immediately.
"This is a long story, probably dating back a hundred years ago..."
Wu Xiangwang nodded: "It's okay. We have plenty of time now. You can talk to him for three days and three nights."
Nine Thousand Years Old: “.”
The turtle shrank its head and spoke with a resigned tone.
“In fact, the king of this world should be the Lord of Wisdom.
He is the most cunning, curious, and thoughtful of all the weirds, and he is also the first weird to truly ascend from the quasi-king level to the king level."
"The King of Wisdom has been born for a thousand years. From his humble beginnings, bullied due to his weakness, he has grown into a great monster that countless monsters bow to. It took him seven hundred years."
"And in the following three hundred years, Wisdom felt that the strange world was chaotic and disordered. Most of the strange things evolved based on instinct, rarely using their brains to think. He began to feel anxious."
"It's that kind of innate obsessive-compulsive disorder, you know?
I don't like stupid guys, I don't like lazy guys, and I dislike guys who are messy and don't know how to make progress and only know how to follow their instincts even more.
Anyway, Wisdom had a very bad temper in the beginning and didn't like everyone. "
"Ordinary obsessive-compulsive disorder involves tidying up one's home to make it look neat and tidy, but Wisdom's ambitions are greater, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder is also more severe, so he tidied up the entire strange world."
Wu Xiangwang raised his eyebrows, "How did he organize it?"
The Turtle Nine Thousand Years Old showed an expression that was not easy to look back on. "First of all, he forced everyone not to sleep, eat, or do things outdoors. This made many of the more wild-tempered monsters very unhappy. You say you control everything, how can you also control where everyone sleeps, eats, and does things? This is the freedom of monsters!"
"But no one could defeat Him, so they had no choice but to listen to Him."
"So, the prototypes of the ten main cities in the strange world were built three hundred years ago. But at that time, humans hadn't yet arrived in the strange world, so the strange creatures simply built sheds and straw mats. Only those advanced and evolved strange creatures who naturally preferred to build their own nests built more beautiful houses."
"Anyway, because of wisdom, many strange things came out from the mountains, forests and deep seas and gathered in the city."
"Then wisdom divided the strange abilities into different levels. From one to ten, it directly digitized the strange abilities."
"Oh, by the way, numbers seem to be something that intelligence is born with, as do language and writing. It's like intelligence is born with wisdom."
"At first, the weirdos didn't believe in the hierarchy of intelligence. It wasn't until they fought each other many times and realized that level one couldn't beat level two, and level two couldn't beat level three, that the weirdos finally accepted the hierarchy of intelligence."
"In this way, the lives of the weird people will become more orderly."
Wu Xiangwang put the three eyewear products aside and prepared to give them to Wang Xiao later.
"Looking at it this way, Wisdom should be the natural king of your world. Why would another weirdo become the new king? Is your standard for choosing a king based solely on rank?"
Upon hearing this, the Turtle No. 9000 nodded naturally, "Of course! We weirdos are always the most realistic!"
Anyone who wants to be our boss must defeat us. How can one become the king of the world without absolute power? "
"And Wisdom has both brains and power. He should indeed be king. However, a hundred years ago, humans appeared."
"There are probably traces of humans appearing in this strange world."
A look of reminiscence crossed Jiuqian Sui's face. "About two hundred years ago, some of the wisdom and advanced weirdness of some other strange worlds sensed the instability of the world. It seemed as if the barrier of the world had collided with something."
"It's a subtle feeling, hard to describe, but you just know that worlds have collided, and it's very likely that they've collided with another world.
However, the collision didn't cause any problems, and most of the weirdos relaxed after their vigilance was over."
"But Wisdom never relaxed. He was nervously feeling that something was going wrong in the world. He came to the City of Destiny every day to seek his fate, to consult with fate, and to borrow the Book of Destiny to engage in superstitious divination."
"This fake Destiny is always acting like he doesn't need to tell me anything, that fate is fate and no one from the Nanfeng team can interfere. He's so annoying that he refuses to give me the Book of Destiny no matter what."
"But wisdom is also an obsession, so you understand?"
Wu Xiangwang's expression was a little subtle: "Wisdom stole the Book of Destiny?"
Jiu Qiansui gave his new boss a look of special approval and admiration: "You are worthy of being my boss!"
"Wisdom is extremely obsessive-compulsive, and also a stubborn and cunning person. He never fails to accomplish anything he wants to do. If fate doesn't give him the Book of Destiny, why not just go and get it himself?"
"He stole the Book of Destiny for three days and probably asked so many questions that he almost killed Destiny."
"The Book of Destiny is destiny's companion treasure. Using it requires energy. The more questions you ask, the more energy you consume. And if you want to use the Book of Destiny to change your destiny..."
Jiuqian Sui stretched out his claws and scratched the energy coin in front of him: "Then... in addition to strength, you must sacrifice your destiny."
"One's own destiny, the destiny of destiny."
"Destiny noticed the Book of Destiny was stolen the moment it was stolen, but he was just a charlatan, and his strength was only that of a particularly weak marquis. So even after chasing Wisdom for three days and three nights, he was unable to get his Book of Destiny back.
It even made Wisdom ask a lot of questions, consuming most of his energy.
This is nothing, but the problem is that Wisdom is obsessive-compulsive."
The Nine Thousand Year Old sighed deeply. "He finally asked a particularly terrifying question. After he asked it, the sky collapsed, the earth cracked, and torrential rain poured down. Wisdom and Fate were both severely injured and almost died together."
Don’t forget each other: “…”
This can no longer be called obsessive-compulsive disorder, this is courting death, right?
Moreover, "The Lord of Fate should really hate wisdom, right?"
Jiu Qian Sui curled his lips: "Isn't that certain? Otherwise there wouldn't be this Tower of Destiny."
"Because Wisdom stole the Book of Destiny without any moral or ethical considerations and asked questions that Destiny shouldn't have asked, the first thing Destiny did after recuperating for a hundred years was to build this Tower of Destiny directly in the City of Destiny."
"Because He particularly hates those who use their power to do evil, specifically wisdom, so the use of strange abilities is prohibited in this Tower of Destiny, and even in the entire City of Destiny."
"Because Destiny is also inherently mysterious and knows many things, and can even draw upon the power of Destiny and the world, the City of Destiny is different from all the other cities.
The City of Destiny belongs only to Destiny. It doesn't even obey the orders of the Royal Capital."
Jiu Qian Sui said this and the dog lowered his voice furtively: "Well, I'm telling you this in secret, don't tell anyone else!
It is said that fate almost put up a sign outside the City of Destiny saying "Wisdom and dogs are not allowed to enter the city!"
Wu Xiangwang twitched his lips. The Lord of Destiny City also had a cunning temperament.
"Then the Prince of Wisdom will accept it?"
At this moment, Wangwang was already somewhat immersed in the gossip of the weird world.
The old turtle, the king of gossip in the strange world, chuckled twice: "How is that possible! Wisdom can eat anything but never suffer any loss."
"Didn't you encounter the innkeeper here who offered to trade wisdom and memory? This is the chess piece that Wisdom forced into the City of Destiny.
Even though Fate particularly disliked this double-faced person who was still helping Wisdom in his city, Fate was a bit of a fake fairy and didn't really care about things. And Wisdom was very good at using threats and inducements, so he could only endure Wisdom's disgust.
"Well, these two guys... probably just don't play well together.
I'll tell you a secret: I still prefer Fate. Wisdom was a pretty good Wisdom at first, with no major flaws aside from his stubbornness, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and his penchant for meddling. But after he read the Book of Fate, he's kind of...changed."
The voice of Jiuqian Sui became noticeably lower at this time.
"Perhaps, too much wisdom will lead to ambition and desire."
"Two hundred years ago, Wisdom peeked into the Book of Fate and saw a fate that shook the entire strange world. But He never revealed what He saw. He simply recuperated for a hundred years, just like Fate."
"One hundred years ago, strictly speaking, it was about... ninety-nine years and three months ago. It was probably October in the golden autumn.
The barrier of the world shook, black cracks appeared in several directions, and ten humans fell into this world.
Wu Xiangwang's heartbeat began to accelerate unconsciously.
"Ten... humans?"
Jiuqian Sui looked at him and said, "Yes, that is the first adventurer of your kind to come to this world."
Wu Xiangwang interrupted Jiuqian Sui as he was about to continue speaking: "Are any of those ten still alive?"
The turtle, which had lived for over five hundred years, was strangely silent for a long moment before speaking, "...if you mean living with a human mind and body."
"They are all dead, then."
Wu Xiangwang's heartbeat stopped for a moment, and he felt a little dizzy.
Although I had expected it, it was still hard to accept when I heard it with my own ears.
"…Go on."
Jiuqian Sui looked at him and said, "When these ten humans suddenly arrived, the strange creatures were a little panicked and wary at first. After all, they were strange creatures they had never seen before."
"But because these ten humans fell in front of everyone, the monsters didn't rush over and tear them apart. They just stood there and watched them."
"But Wisdom seemed to have known they were coming. Before they were completely surrounded by the weirdness and tempted to be eaten, Wisdom took all ten humans away."
Wu Xiangwang waited for the turtle to continue speaking, but he found that the turtle shut up at this point.
"Continue? Why don't you continue?"
Jiu Qian Sui silently moved his butt further away and said, "Well, what's going to happen next might be a bit... well, Boss, you better be mentally prepared."
Wu Xiangwang put away the portion of spoils he had divided in front of him with a calm expression.
"The current appearance of this world, the way you speak, and the science and technology and architecture that are so similar to Earth's have already prepared me mentally."
He had thought about the worst possible scenario over and over again many times.
The turtle sighed strangely.
"Wisdom kindly welcomed the ten humans who had descended from the sky to the capital and treated them very kindly. They quickly became close friends."
"Wisdom took only one month to learn 90% of the knowledge in the minds of these ten people."
"Actually, Wisdom doesn't have any ill intentions. It's just that these people are always thinking about leaving here and returning to Earth. Wisdom kindly invites them to stay here and become new, prestigious, and powerful weirdos, but these humans just don't appreciate it!"
Don't forget to narrow your eyes.
The turtle quickly ducked its head. "No, no, no, these people all miss their homeland and are loyal to their own world! That's why they strongly demand to go back."
“But to go back, they have to open the boundary gate, so these people have no choice but to walk through ten main cities, open up the nodes, and then open the boundary gate.
That is the door of return.
The Gate of Return was built on the crack in the royal capital after Wisdom was seriously injured after asking the Book of Destiny. It has the same existence time as the Tower of Destiny.
I think the questions Wisdom asked two hundred years ago were about humans and the Realm Gate. Otherwise, He wouldn't have created the Gate of Return.
"Wisdom told the ten humans how to leave and sent them to the City of Carnival. A hundred years ago, the first group of humans' journey back home began from this very city."
Wu Xiangwang smiled slightly when he heard this. This was really a special fate.
But his smile soon faded again.
"But they couldn't return, did they? Wisdom absorbed their knowledge and insights, but deceived them and led them down a path that was doomed to failure."
Jiu Qian Sui was silent: "...It's not necessarily a road destined for failure."
"Fate has said that destiny is already determined, but who can know what the result will be?"
“You may think failure is your destiny, but for others, what you think is destiny is a different outcome that can be changed.”
"Three of those ten humans died in the first Carnival City. Two were so frightened that they begged for mercy from Wisdom and joined the King's Capital, becoming the new Weirdos."
"But the remaining five were determined to complete their journey through the ten cities and leave this world. They worked very hard to start from the beginning, navigating this world with great difficulty."
"But they were too weak to deal with the strangeness because they had no power. When they passed the third city, only two of the five people died."
"And it was at this time that the two discovered that they could also activate their own 'strange abilities' in this world of strange energy."
“That’s a good thing.”
"If that were the case, they might have been able to hold on to their resolve. But soon, a second rift vibration appeared. Another hundred people fell into this world."
Wu Xiangwang pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "They were led away by wisdom again, right?"
Jiuqian Sui lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the new boss.
"Well, they were all taken away, and they all told everything they knew. Then those who wanted to stay stayed, and those who didn't were also sent away."
Wu Xiangwang shook his head at this time: "No, here you said 'they told everything they knew'."
"But who would tell everything about themselves without hiding anything? Would you?"
The turtle lowered its head even lower, but sensing the dozens of ferocious beasts glaring at it, it gritted its teeth and finished its words in one breath:
"That's right. Because there were too many people and some refused to cooperate, the Wisdom simply extracted their wisdom and memories and randomly threw them out. The second batch of one hundred humans were also completely wiped out. No one survived more than three days!"
"But humans aren't that honest either. Don't be angry, boss! Humans are starting to fight back! Among the first ten people to arrive, there was a special one. His name was Yuan. He was smart, powerful, and at the same time, very crazy."
"After Wisdom treated the third group of humans who came to this world like this, causing their mass deaths, this human somehow realized Wisdom's intentions and went mad without even consulting Wisdom!
He had clearly reached the fifth city, but he retreated directly and started killing the weirdos frantically from the first carnival city. He killed them city by city, specifically looking for high-level weirdos to kill. It was obvious that he was taking revenge for what Wisdom had done.
At the beginning, when he was killing, no one took him seriously, but no one knew what was going on with his brain or how his power awakened. Anyway, he awakened a very powerful power that seemed to have no limit!
He fought his way from the Carnival City to the Royal Capital."
The Weird Turtle looked up at Wu Xiangwang with a complicated expression. "Those are ten cities! Every city was flooded with blood when he left, and countless Weird people died."
"The Bloody Wanted Order was born because of him."
It was from this human massacre that humans and monsters began to face a fate of endless and complete hostility.
Perhaps, when wisdom peeks into the book of destiny, breeds ambition, and wants to change the trajectory of destiny, the wheel of fate has already begun to turn.
