Chapter 465 Confident and Well-prepared! A Sense of Fate?
When Niu Ben said this, all the sages were taken aback.
"Disciple, do you truly believe this?"
The Supreme Sage exclaimed in surprise.
Just now, even the combined efforts of the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, couldn't hold back the slowly descending sky.
Although the Supreme Being did not make a move, he could tell that it would be impossible for ordinary magical treasures to hold up the primordial heavens.
Before Niu Ben could reply, Tongtian spoke up:
"Young Niu Ben, trying to hold up the sky isn't an easy task. Are you really confident?"
At the same time, Yuanshi Tianzun also said:
"The primordial sky was incredibly heavy, far beyond imagination."
"Trying to hold up the sky is no child's play."
Niu Ben smiled faintly and replied:
"Master, my two senior uncles."
"Just you wait and see."
After saying this, Niu Ben didn't wait for Sanqing's reply. He flashed and disappeared from the spot.
Upon seeing this, the Three Pure Ones were all taken aback, having no idea what Niu Ben was up to.
In addition, the other great saints present were also in the same situation.
"Can Niu Ben really hold this together?"
Nuwa muttered to herself, her brows furrowed with doubt.
"My son seems very confident; I think he can handle things without any problem!"
Niu Ba said quietly, showing that he had complete confidence in his son, Niu Ben.
Upon seeing this, the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, looked slightly unpleasant, and a strange light flashed in their eyes.
"hateful!"
"Senior brother, is it really possible that Niu Ben can hold this sky up?"
Zhunti glanced at Jieyin and secretly transmitted his voice.
Previously, the two brothers had volunteered to support the primordial world.
The purpose, of course, is to perform meritorious deeds that uphold heaven.
Unfortunately, Jieyin and Zhunti underestimated the terror of the Heavenly Collapse. Even with the Seven Treasures Tree and the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit, they were unable to stop it.
Upon hearing Zhunti's telepathic message, Jieyin slightly narrowed his eyes, appearing thoughtful.
After thinking for a moment, he replied:
"Niu Ben is a man who never plays by the rules."
"Let's see what he's up to first!"
……
At the same time, countless creatures in the primordial world were trembling with fear and unease.
"Boom!"
The entire sky above was slowly pressing down, and with each step down, the terrifying pressure intensified.
"What should we do?"
"Even a saint could not stop the sky from collapsing."
"Could this mean the primordial world is about to end?"
"..."
Many powerful figures looked solemn, and their heartbeats quickened involuntarily.
Everyone knows that if the sky were allowed to collapse, everything in the primordial world would be reduced to nothingness.
……
At this time, the Niuben people have arrived at Penglai Immortal Island.
As soon as he appeared, a violent roar erupted in the sea beneath Penglai Immortal Island.
"Boom!"
The seawater was churning wildly.
Before long, a huge black tortoise emerged from the sea.
The body of this black tortoise was covered with dense, mysterious runes.
After appearing, the Xuan Turtle slowly opened its eyes, its gaze filled with an ancient and weathered charm, and looked straight at Niu Ben.
"You've come!"
The Black Tortoise said calmly.
For some reason, the arrival of Niu Ben inexplicably gave Xuan Gui a sense of destiny that he was born with.
It seemed that something was waiting for him to accomplish.
Upon hearing what the black tortoise said, Niu Ben smiled faintly and replied:
"Senior Xuan Gui!"
"I promised you that one day I would help you take human form."
"Today, the time has come."
As soon as Niu Ben spoke, a sharp glint flashed in the Xuan Turtle's eyes.
After being rescued from the sea by Niu Ben, he followed Niu Ben to Penglai Island and has been sleeping in the waters around Penglai Island ever since.
Now, Niu Ben says that the time for its transformation has come, which naturally excites the Xuan Turtle.
Before the black tortoise could finish rejoicing, Niu Ben added:
"but."
"Senior Xuan Turtle, you must know that if you are allowed to take human form, you must give up something."
After Niu Ben said this, Xuan Gui frowned slightly, his eyes full of confusion, and said:
"Something was sacrificed?"
"What...what do you mean by that?"
Niu Ben remained calm and, without keeping anyone in suspense, answered directly:
"It's very simple. Senior Xuan Turtle will find it difficult to transform into human form with this body."
Upon hearing this, the confusion in the Xuan Turtle's eyes deepened, clearly indicating that it did not quite understand what Niu Ben meant.
Niu Ben smiled faintly and said again:
"During the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, Mount Buzhou, the pillar of heaven, collapsed."
"Although the sage Nuwa repaired the celestial void with five-colored divine stones."
"But without the support of the Heavenly Pillar, the primordial sky continued to sink."
"If the sky were to collapse, the primordial world would cease to exist."
"so……"
At this point, Niu Ben paused, then turned his gaze and looked directly at the Xuan Turtle.
"Um?"
The black tortoise glanced at itself and replied:
"Speak!"
"What does this matter of supporting the sky have to do with me?"
Niu Ben didn't waste any time and said directly:
"I need to borrow your body, senior, and use your limbs as pillars to support the primordial sky."
"This act will bring you immeasurable merit and lasting blessings."
"Of course, I will only use your body, Senior Xuan Turtle. I will make other arrangements for your true spirit. And this... is also an important step for you to take human form!"
At this point, Niu Ben paused slightly, then added with a meaningful look:
"Senior Xuan Gui should know this."
"I am now the Lord of the Underworld, in charge of the reincarnation of all living beings!"
After hearing Niu Ben's words, Xuan Gui immediately fell into deep thought.
This bull, which uses its four limbs to support the sky, means it will never be able to roam freely across the primordial land or soar through the heavens like other creatures.
Its four limbs will transform into four pillars, eternally bearing the weight of this world.
But it also understands that this is its only chance to transcend.
Given its origins, without an extraordinary opportunity, it will never be able to take human form, let alone attain enlightenment.
However, if one accepts this responsibility, one will accumulate endless merit, and even after reincarnation, one will have a smooth path ahead.
After a moment's thought, a resolute glint flashed in the black tortoise's eyes. He steeled himself and replied:
"good!"
"I...I do!"
When he said this, the black tortoise's voice sounded calm and firm.
Seeing that Xuan Gui had agreed, Niu Ben smiled with satisfaction.
He knew very well that this black tortoise was destined to support the heavens, and that he could allow it to reincarnate and take human form, and even receive great merit in future lives. The black tortoise could not possibly refuse.
"In that case, please come with me, senior!"
After a brief pause, Niu Ben glanced indifferently at the Xuan Turtle, then with a flash, he flew towards Buzhou Mountain.
Seeing this, the black tortoise remained calm and quickly followed Niu Ben.
At this time, Buzhou Mountain was located.
Several great sages are still waiting.
In addition, many powerful beings from the primordial era were also paying close attention to every move of Buzhou Mountain.
Just then, a spatial ripple suddenly appeared in the void.
Upon closer inspection, Niu Ben was the first to step out from the ripples.
