Build A Preliminary Alliance
Build A Preliminary Alliance
Han Fei hid in Forge the Universe when he was only ten thousand kilometers away from the outer sea.
As soon as Han Fei entered Forge the Universe, the old turtle's voice came out.
The old turtle said, "Sure enough, I knew that this space wouldn't be as simple as a warehouse. It's actually a small world created by this calabash?"
The old turtle's voice wasn't so sure either.
After all, Forge the Universe was still too small.
Besides, for some reason, Forge the Universe seemed to have been thoroughly cleaned. Nothing was left. Even the seeds of ordinary spiritual fruits were gone.
Seeing this scene, Han Fei felt that his heart was broken.
This meant that for a long time to come, he wouldn't even have any seasonings for food.
Han Fei couldn't help asking, "Aren't you surprised that there are living things in this space?"
The old turtle chuckled. "What's there to be surprised about? The reason that Sea Swallowing Seashells and Sun-Moon Shells can't store living creatures is that they're already dead. If living creatures can survive in them, it's against the rules of the Great Dao. But your calabash looks like a living creature. Giving birth to a space is nothing to it. Logically speaking, with this calabash's ability, it shouldn't have only produced such a small space! It might be able to create an entire world."
The old turtle mumbled something that Han Fei couldn't understand.
When he heard what the old turtle said, Han Fei's heart did a flip. The Demon Purification Pot should be able to do that, right?
Han Fei said calmly, "Aren't you surprised at all? Have you seen many such soul treasures?"
The old turtle sneered, "Why should I tell you? You think about how to kill me every day! I don't want to talk to you."
Han Fei grinned. "What are you talking about? I can't kill you, can I? Let's be honest. Old turtle, you are so strong. It's impossible for me to let you go now. Besides, the calabash doesn't listen to me. In that case, we can cooperate. What do you think?"
The old turtle snorted. "Cooperate? Can you cooperate with others?"
Han Fei said leisurely, "That depends on who it is! I usually rob creatures of the same level as me. However, considering that you'll stay with me for a long time, you might still be in my body when I become a king. If we cooperate now, it will be beneficial for both of us."
The old turtle grunted. "Are you sure?"
Han Fei said leisurely, "Can you tell me where my countless spiritual springs and spiritual fruits are? We have to build a foundation of mutual trust first, right?"
The old turtle thought for a moment. "I can tell you that! However, since you're going to rob people, we have to divide the loot in advance. Otherwise, don't even think about cooperation."
Han Fei immediately said, "Tell me about your opinion. I'm listening."
The old turtle's eyes lit up. "Go rob them. All the treasures you grab will belong to you. However, the vitality of those creatures you kill must belong to me."
Han Fei raised his eyebrows. "All the vitality belongs to you? Can you still devour their vitality now?"
The old turtle sneered. "Nonsense, it's my soul in your body. However, I was seriously injured by your calabash and can only stay here. Without a body, I can only rely on the power of my soul. It's just because I'm very strong that I haven't fallen asleep!"
Han Fei frowned. "It's not good to swallow others' vitality, is it?"
The old turtle was lost for words. "Not good? Boy, how many bad things have you done? How do you have the cheek to say so?"
Han Fei said with a black face, "Hey, hey! That's a personal attack on me! If I give you vitality, what can I eat?"
The old turtle: "…"
Both of them were silent.
Then the old turtle almost roared, "Is my life not as important as your food?"
Han Fei smiled in embarrassment. "Don't get excited. What if you get vitality, break free from the shackles and want to kill me?"
The old turtle roared, "I failed to kill you even when my soul was at its peak. You don't have to worry about that, OK? Shouldn't the one worrying be me?"
The more he talked, the angrier he became. The old turtle said, "No, there's no trust between you and me. You have to swear to the Great Dao that you can't have any ill intentions towards me."
Han Fei was reluctant. "Why? Do you think I would betray my soul just to know something that I will find out sooner or later?"
Immediately, Han Fei thought to himself, I must find a way to kill this thing. It's too evil.
The old turtle roared again, "Look, how do you have the cheek to say that I'm evil? You want to kill me every day and you call me evil?"
The old turtle was speechless. He had been a devil for all his life, but he had never met anyone as disgusting as this guy. The guy just wanted to squeeze benefits out of him but didn't want to give anything away. Even as a devil, he still had some conscience left! But this b * stard… Bah, this brat, he has no conscience at all.
Han Fei was briefly stunned. It seemed that the old turtle could hear his thoughts.
Forget it, Han Fei didn't care anymore. He said leisurely, "Okay! Let's be honest. What you're worried about is nothing more than whether I will kill you or not. I can guarantee that I won't kill you. To be honest, as I become stronger, it's only a matter of time before I control this calabash. That's what you're worried about. In that case, you just need to promise to answer all my questions, and when I'm in danger, you must take action and don't try to kill me."
The old turtle said, "I'm only a wisp of soul now. How can I help you?"
Han Fei immediately said disdainfully, "Keep making things up. Do you think you're the first old grandpa living in me? He can attack, but you can't? Enough bulls * it. I know it shouldn't be a problem for you to kill a Venerable in one breath. If you agree, let's swear."
The old turtle was lost for words. "Forget it. You don't have to swear anymore. I'm dying of anger because of you. If my body were still there, I could've killed a king with one breath, let alone a Venerable. But look at me, can I do that now? If I were so powerful, I would've killed you long ago."
Han Fei realized that it did make sense.
He immediately said, "Then can you take me away from the hands of a Venerable?"
The old turtle snapped, "Why do you have to go against a Venerable? Did a Venerable steal your wife or your treasure? Don't you know what you are? Why do you keep provoking Venerables?"
Han Fei snorted and said without blushing, "Okay! Then I can lower the requirements a little. Once a Venerable-level crisis happens, you have to help us survive it. Otherwise, we'll be separated. Anyway, I can fight a great demon at the Dao Seeking realm alone now."
The old turtle was silent for a long time. "If you want me to take action, I should have the strength to do so first. I need to devour vitality to maintain my soul."
Han Fei said, "Swear first."
The old turtle said, "Boy, I can swear. However, you have to agree to one of my conditions."
Han Fei rolled his eyes. "What condition?"
The old turtle snorted. "I can help you, but don't kill me until you become a king."
Han Fei thought for a moment. "You have to swear first."
Although the old turtle wanted to tear Han Fei apart, he had to bow his head when he was under the eaves.
He had to find a way to establish an alliance with this kid. Otherwise, he would be killed by this kid sooner or later.
Immediately, the old turtle said in a deep voice, "I swear to the Great Dao of Origins that I will answer some questions of Han Fei that don't involve great karma. If my strength permits, I will take action in time when Han Fei is threatened by a Venerable. If Han Fei doesn't have the intention to kill me, I shall not have any intention of harming him. This oath requires Han Fei to swear as well, or it won't count."
Han Fei was stunned for a long time and then asked dumbfoundedly, "That's it? That's it?"
The old turtle snorted. "I swear on the Great Dao of Origins, once you violate this law of cause and effect, the consequences are not something you can bear. Okay, I've finished speaking. You can decide if I'm sincere or not."
Han Fei certainly knew what the old turtle meant.
If this guy really wanted to kill him, he should have done so back in the Wind Rain Village. Obviously, this old turtle must have taken a fancy to his opportunities.
However, there was something that Han Fei didn't understand. Since the two parties had developed a basis for cooperation, he wouldn't think about killing him every day. Then why did this turtle insist that he couldn't have the intention to kill him before he became a king?
Or rather, could he kill it after he became a king?
Han Fei didn't understand it, but it wasn't a big problem. He immediately said, "Okay, I, Han Fei, swear to the Great Dao of Origins that before I become a king, I won't try to kill the old turtle. I need to provide the old turtle with basic vitality. This oath is based on the fact that the old turtle keeps his word. Otherwise, it won't count."
Although the old turtle knew that Han Fei had changed some words, such as changing "having no killing intent" to "not trying to kill" and only providing him with "basic vitality", he felt that Han Fei was willing to compromise.
Neither the old turtle nor Han Fei had ever thought that their first alliance would be built like this.
In fact, Han Fei didn't even know if the Great Dao would really care about his oath. If he regretted it, would the impact be really great?
However, thinking of the things that he promised Li Huang in the Heavenly Desolate City, and the things that Old Han had once said, Han Fei felt that he would rather believe such an oath than not.
But no matter what, he couldn't feed this old turtle with too much vitality!
However, since they were already allies, Han Fei immediately asked, "So, why have all my resources disappeared?"
