Ch. 207 - Evil God List

The deep-sea behemoth’s pupils shrank sharply at the sight before it. Letting out a thunderous roar toward the heavens, the soundwaves shook the ocean floor, and a silent tsunami roared through the waters above.

Seeing this, the surrounding sea creatures quickly fled, not daring to approach any closer.

The giant beast’s form was peculiar, its head resembled a dragon, emanating divine majesty, while its body looked like a turtle, bearing a gilded golden shell on its back.

As the girl’s corpse slowly floated toward it, the behemoth murmured softly, “Is everything in this world truly preordained?”

When the body reached the beast’s side, it lowered its head and carefully examined the young girl.

Spiritforce surged from the beast, and waves rose high, rolling into a massive tsunami.

The gilded shell on its back began to shimmer. Finally, a box slowly rose from the shell.

The box was pentagonal, glowing faintly with dark light.

The behemoth lifted the box and opened it with a click. In that moment, it was as if space and time had been torn apart, releasing an ancient presence sealed within.

Dust surged outward, and black mist filled the sea.

Inside the box were only two items: A pearl and a pitch-black, material-unknown ranking tablet

The moment the box opened, the black tablet released endless killing aura, with black light soaring into the sky, flattening the entire sea floor with its terrifying pressure.

“Why’d you wake me up, little turtle?” a deep, magnetic male voice echoed from within the black tablet.

“My lord,” the behemoth immediately bowed, speaking reverently. “The one you've been waiting for, she's arrived.”

Upon hearing this, black mist from the tablet surged out, wrapping around Tan Jiulin’s corpse.

“So, in this life... the Demon Sovereign is destined to awaken once again,” sighed the voice from the tablet.

“My lord, I have upheld our ancient pact. May I finally be freed?” the giant turtle asked tentatively.

“Tell her yourself once she awakens. I’m not the one who decides,” the voice replied.

As the voice faded, the black tablet transformed into a stream of light and entered Tan Jiulin’s body.

Black mist surrounded her. Dark fog rolled across her skin and wrapped her tightly.

Soon, a giant black cocoon formed around her.

Something inside was being reborn. The sound of a heartbeat echoed clearly from within.

Day after day, the ocean’s spiritual energy poured into the cocoon.

This phenomenon lasted for a full month.

Then, one winter morning in December, snow blanketed the surface of the ocean, freezing its vast waters solid.

At the bottom of the sea, the cocoon began to crack.

Crack… Crack…

The behemoth’s massive eyes stared intently at the cocoon.

BOOM!

The cocoon shattered into countless fragments.

From within, a black light dissipated, and Tan Jiulin slowly opened her eyes. All visions and anomalies in heaven and earth faded.

She looked at the beast in front of her and instantly paled, her whole body trembling.

“Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you,” the behemoth quickly said, trying to look cute and friendly.

“Where… am I?” Tan Jiulin backed away, scanning the surroundings cautiously. She asked using sign language.

“You’re mute?” the behemoth blinked. A golden light radiated from its hand and entered her body.

Immediately, her birthmark disappeared, and she opened her mouth, coughing softly.

“I… I can talk now. I can talk!” Tan Jiulin cried out, overwhelmed.

“That’s nothing. After you see this, you’ll understand everything,” the black tablet, shrouded in dark mist, floated before her, releasing a beam of light into her body.

……

At the dawn of this world, when the Legendary Era had just begun and cultivation was in its infancy,

Three ferocious beasts awakened across the land, their nature cruel and bloodthirsty. They slaughtered countless living beings.

Humanity was too inexperienced in cultivation to stop them.

One day, a shepherd boy came from the edge of the world, riding a green ox. He pointed at the sky.

Golden light surged through the heavens and suppressed all three beasts in an instant.

This golden light shattered their divine souls and absorbed them into itself.

Over tens of thousands of years, the golden light, corrupted by the beasts’ hatred and nourished by the sun and moon, finally evolved into a ranking board.

Its name: Evil God List.

Because the black board had fused with the three beasts’ divine souls before its formation, it gained consciousness, and the power to control their fates.

If the Evil God List erased their souls, the three beasts in the real world would die.

The three beasts were: Primordial Leopard, Double-Bright Bird, Flood Dragon Mastiff Turtle (the giant beast before her)

Before leaving, the shepherd left orders: the Flood Dragon Mastiff Turtle would guard the sea floor, awaiting someone destined.

He left behind the Evil God List and a pearl, which was one of the three pearls that make up the Army Breaker Imperial Physique.

……

Seeing these sealed memories, Tan Jiulin stood frozen for a long time before she finally recovered her senses.

“You’re… the Flood Dragon Mastiff Turtle?” she asked curiously.

“Yes. According to the ancient sage’s orders, once you arrived, I would be free,” the turtle replied excitedly.

“But… what am I supposed to do?” she asked.

“We are now one,” the voice from the Evil God List replied. “You already carry my legacy. Just recall what’s been passed to you, you’ll understand.”

Tan Jiulin nodded and closed her eyes.

Soon, a flood of new knowledge surged into her mind.

This was the inheritance of the Evil God List, how to use it, and what it was for.

Moments later, her body surged with spiritforce. Power gathered from the surrounding heavens and earth.

Of course, all of it came from the Evil God List. Her own cultivation level remained at the Meridian Forging Realm.

As black aura wrapped around her, she slowly rose into the air, massive waves forming beneath her feet. The entire sea roared.

The terrifying scene sent sea creatures fleeing and burying themselves in the ocean floor, too terrified to move.

Then, Tan Jiulin raised the Evil God List in her hand.

With a wave of her glowing palm, a beastly image appeared on the surface of the board.
