When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 119 Shuiying's Answer

Senior Shuiying, please wait a moment!

After all that I've said, shouldn't you, senior, also have a chat with me?

After all, I'm still completely confused and bewildered. Even if you have something to do or are carrying out someone's orders, it won't make a difference if it's just a little while longer, don't you think?

Shuiying looked at Zhu Chongjiu, who had interrupted her and looked somewhat anxious, and said, "Alright, as long as you're not in a hurry, I don't mind. Anyway, I've been here for countless years. If you stay and keep me company for tens of thousands of years, I'd be happy to!"

hehe……!

Upon hearing Shui Ying's words, Zhu Chongjiu smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, Senior, I don't want to know too much. I just have a few simple questions I'd like to ask you. After all, you are learned, knowledgeable, and highly capable..."

Alright, alright, just ask what you want to say. Too much flattery will make people uncomfortable.

Zhu Chongjiu immediately stopped patting Shuiying and asked directly, "Senior Shuiying, did you wait for me here on purpose?"

When you said "execute command," whose command were you referring to?

I know that person. What does he have to do with me?

Also, are you the source of water?

"You've already come out. I'm not from this universe. One last question: what level of strength do I need to reach to go home, or who do I need to find, or what conditions must I meet to return?"

Upon hearing Zhu Chongjiu's question, Shuiying pondered for a moment before replying, "Waiting for you here was just a convenient thing to do."

However, I don't know whose orders I'm carrying out, let alone whether you know that person or what your relationship is with them.

Also, am I the source of water?

How should I answer this question?

Shui Ying paused for a moment before continuing, "I am a drop of 'heavy water' from this universe. Although this title isn't entirely accurate, you can still call me the source of water."

Within the universe, there are many kinds of "sources," encompassing everything. You should know that even a single source can have many different kinds.

Take me for example. I am the source of heavy water, as well as dark water, dead water, water with roots, water without roots, and so on, and many more.

Not only the five elements, but also wind, thunder, and so on. You can understand it as all things in the universe, except for species derived from them, having an origin.

The Five Elements are just one of the most fundamental sources of the world, and at the same time, they are the most numerous sources in the universe.

"Those little guys on you, Houtu, Kangjin, Jianmu, and Fanhuo." As Shuiying spoke to the sources of the five elements that were possessing Zhu Chongjiu's body, she raised her hand and gently grabbed Zhu Chongjiu. The four little sources of the five elements, including Xiaojin, were instantly pulled out of Zhu Chongjiu's body and transformed into the appearance of his original body.

Looking at the four infant-like children, Shuiying said gently to Zhu Chongjiu, "As they grow, their strength will indeed increase. However, their origins have already determined their upper limit."

Because they can only rely on instinct, just like the innate supernatural abilities of demonic beasts. No matter how many millions of years have passed, they will not regress, but they will also not be enhanced in any way.

"Zhu Chongjiu, if you want them to travel with you through the myriad realms, you must make them stronger."

Shui Ying looked at Zhu Chongjiu and continued, "You don't need to ask me to tell you, the way to make them stronger is to constantly devour, devour the source of their own kind!"

It sounds cruel, but that's the law of survival for everything in the universe.

Zhu Chongjiu, do you know why, regardless of species, after cultivating to a certain level, they all transform into human form?

Just as Zhu Chongjiu was about to shake his head and say he didn't know, Shuiying looked at Zhu Chongjiu and shook his head, then said, "Let's take that little Void Beast you encountered as an example. It controls one of the most powerful laws in all the heavens and myriad realms, the law of 'nothingness,' so why was it so easily suppressed?"

The reason is simple: it doesn't use laws at all; it only uses its existing innate divine abilities. These abilities simply contain the power of the void laws.

Regardless of the origin of heaven and earth, including myself, I am merely a product born within the laws of nature. Before my cultivation reaches a certain level, I can only rely on the power of my physical body. The power of my physical body depends on the laws that governed my birth.

Here we come full circle. Zhu Chongjiu, now you know why, regardless of species, after cultivating to a certain level, they all transform into human form, right?

Upon hearing Shuiying's question, Zhu Chongjiu pondered for a moment before saying, "According to what Senior Shuiying said, there is only one possibility."

That is, only humans can cultivate the power of laws.

Looking at Zhu Chongjiu, who was staring at her with a slightly questioning expression, Shuiying smiled and said, "Not bad, quite intelligent."

As for...! What about your homecoming?

I can't help you. As far as I know, there's no one in this universe right now who can help you.

If you die young, perhaps you will be able to return to your home universe millions of years later?

Why…!

Don't worry, I can tell you this clearly. Once you reach a certain level of strength, all the problems you're thinking about will no longer be problems.

So, from now on, focus your energy on how to survive in this universe and how to improve your strength.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongjiu felt a weight lifted from his heart, but it didn't quite settle down completely.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Chongjiu spoke up: "Senior Shuiying, can you read my thoughts at any time?"

Shuiying looked at Zhu Chongjiu, who was staring at her like a fool, and said, "Since you already know, why are you asking?"

"You are the first person to call me by my true name since I came into this universe." Zhu Chongjiu said, then, as if remembering something, continued, "Even the void has not called me by my true name!"

Don't compare me to that little void beast. It's far inferior to me. Even if its ancestor came, he would have to treat me with utmost respect!

Upon hearing Shuiying's answer, Zhu Chongjiu asked curiously, "Senior Shuiying, you've been here for so many years. Besides waiting for me, what is your real purpose?"

"You don't need to know this question. You will know when you reach a certain level of strength." After answering Zhu Chongjiu, Shui Ying's expression became slightly serious. At the same time, she turned her head and looked leisurely into the depths of the Ruins.

By the way, you need to hurry up and cultivate. Those two little guys above you will probably start wreaking havoc on this continent and destroy it before long.

Upon hearing Shui Ying's words, Zhu Chongjiu asked in surprise, "Senior Shui Ying, do you know everything that's happening on this continent all along?"

Yes! Not just this continent, but even the small Cangshen Realm, if I wanted to know, couldn't escape my surveillance. Including the great war ten thousand years ago, the sealing of that little void beast, and oh yes, that little demon, I know everything.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongjiu asked somewhat angrily, "Since you know everything, why didn't you do anything when I almost killed that celestial official? After all, you had orders to wait for me here. If I had died, wouldn't that be considered disobeying orders?"

Also, as you said, if after some time my strength is insufficient and the celestial official really destroys this continent, will you take action?

Shuiying looked at the somewhat annoyed Zhu Chongjiu and calmly replied, "Although that person is incredibly powerful, it's not an order to me; it's just a transaction."

Secondly, I did not disobey orders.

Our deal is simply that I'll be here waiting for you, assisting you in your cultivation. It's not about me becoming your slave or follower, rescuing you from dire straits at any time.

Besides, if you can't even handle this little difficulty on your own, then you're practically dispensable to me.

As for whether you can defeat that minor Heavenly Official or whether this continent will be destroyed in a while, what does that have to do with me?

But rest assured, while he destroys this continent, I will protect this snowfield. After all, this snowfield is like my clothing, covering me with certain things. At the same time, I will also annihilate him. After all, this is tantamount to provoking me and challenging my authority.”

Alright, having heard this, Zhu Chongjiu knew that this was a tycoon who had seen through everything in the world. He had little emotion and only acted according to his own conscience.

Time is of the essence and the task is heavy. Now that we have found the source of water, I should hurry up and begin the Five Elements Body Tempering. Once I have mastered it, I will settle all scores and grievances.
