Chapter 1008 -1008: Sky-supporting Old Turtle
Lin Shen realized that he had severely underestimated the value of the Sky Pinnacle Armor; its true worth lies in its lack of grade requirement.
“However, the requirement for the Strength Attribute is quite high, and ordinary lower-tier Divine Beings would probably find it difficult to meet. It necessitates the use of a Divine Artifact that boosts Strength Attribute to activate the aberrant trait of the Sky Pinnacle Armor,” Long Xiuzi pointed out the drawback of the Sky Pinnacle Armor.
Lin Shen calculated his attributes; during this time, the weight of the Death Powder had been constantly increasing, and Lin Shen’s Strength Attribute had also increased, now nearly reaching seventeen thousand points.
In his Super Base Form, his attributes could reach over thirty thousand points, but it was still a bit short of forty thousand points.
Although other innate skills could enhance attributes, such enhancement is proportional, and they do not increase the base attributes, so under normal circumstances, Lin Shen still couldn’t activate the Sky Pinnacle Armor.
Nevertheless, as the weight of Death Powder continued to grow, once Lin Shen’s Strength Attribute reached twenty thousand, he could activate the Sky Pinnacle Armor in his Super Base Form.
This was just the beginning; having consumed many bodies of the Furious Evil Goddess, Death Powder had accumulated a lot of energy not yet assimilated, and its body was still developing, with its weight continuously increasing. It was difficult to say how much Strength Attribute it could eventually add for Lin Shen.
The only thing troubling Lin Shen was that the growth rate of other attributes was much slower, relying only on Aberrant Liquid to boost energy, whereas Evolution Theory could also increase other attributes, but at a much slower pace.
“Brother Tian, if you don’t have use for this Sky Pinnacle Armor or are considering selling it, could you please consider selling it to us first? The price is negotiable,” Long Xiuzi continued.
“You guys want this Sky Pinnacle Armor?” Lin Shen didn’t really have much consideration for the Sky Pinnacle Armor.
He was merely calculating whether his attributes would allow him to wear the Sky Pinnacle Armor, and even if he could wear it, he had no intention of doing so.
His Immortal Set, though only a lower-tier Divine Artifact, with its powerful set attribute, provides a defense not inferior to the Sky Pinnacle Armor, its effects even stronger.
Although a middle-tier Divine Artifact is strong, after all, it is only a tool and cannot activate the Divine Soul Light Shadow as a middle-tier Divine Being could.
The Immortal Set, although only a lower-tier Divine Artifact, can activate the Divine Soul Light Shadow of the Furious Evil Goddess, which alone makes it much more powerful than the Sky Pinnacle Armor.
As Lin Shen can’t wear two sets of Divine Armor, his natural choice is the Immortal Set; even if the Sky Pinnacle Armor is better, it could only sit idle and gather dust.
If the price is right, Lin Shen wouldn’t mind selling the Sky Pinnacle Armor, the key is the price has to be appropriate.
As for the defensive power of the Sky Pinnacle Armor, Lin Shen didn’t really value it that much; no matter how strong the defense, it could not withstand his Super-Base Divine Shot.
The Sky-supporting Turtle couldn’t stop it itself; what use then would the Divine Artifact it gave birth to be?
Long Xiuzi quickly said, “We previously mistook that giant turtle for Mystic Armor Turtle, thinking it was a descendant of Xuanwu. It was only after we saw the Divine Artifact it nurtured that we realized it’s not a Mystic Armor Turtle, nor a descendant of Xuanwu.”
Qing Lunzi nodded and said, “It indeed isn’t Xuanwu’s lineage; it should be from the lineage of Sky-supporting Old Turtle.”
“Sky-supporting Old Turtle?” Hearing this name, Lin Shen couldn’t help but recall an ancient mythological story.
Qing Lunzi said: “The Sky-supporting Old Turtle is not originally native to the Celestial Court, but just like our forefathers, the Divine Beings, it also surged into the Celestial Court from the Ancient Realm. The only difference is that our ancestors were humans, while the Sky-supporting Old Turtle was a turtle.”
“In ancient times, two Great Gods fought so fiercely that the sky collapsed. Nuwa wanted to melt stones to repair the sky, but the sky was already failing, leaving no time for the Goddess to mend it with molten stones. At that moment, the Sky-supporting Old Turtle stood out, supporting Heaven and Earth with its body, thereby securing the time needed for Nuwa to melt stones and mend the sky. That’s how the Sky-supporting Old Turtle got its name.”
Lin Shen slightly nodded as he listened, the myth he had just thought of was mostly similar to the one being told; it was the same old turtle in both stories.
However, Qing Lunzi then said, “That’s just a myth. From what I know, the real situation was not like this at all. The Sky-supporting Old Turtle did not willingly support Heaven and Earth but was slaughtered by Nuwa. Its carcass was then used to support the collapsed sky.”
Listening to Qing Lunzi retell the story of the Sky-supporting Old Turtle, it was a dark version of the Nuwa mending the sky story.
The so-called battle between the two ancient gods, where one of them lost and angrily rammed into Mount Buzhou causing it to collapse and the sky to fail, wasn’t really the case.
The so-called sky’s collapse wasn’t about the sky being punched through with a hole, but rather about a Divine Being with Supreme Power breaking the restrictive and confining Earth Law over humans.
Nuwa’s Sky Mending was not about literally restoring the sky, but about repairing the Earth Law, reasserting human restrictions under the Earth Law.
After that Divine Being broke the Earth Law causing breaches in Heaven and Earth, many powerful Divine Beings burst beyond the bounds of Heaven and Earth and ascended to the Celestial Court.
Apart from those powerful Divine Beings, many people lacked the ability to break out of the confines of Heaven and Earth.
The Sky-supporting Old Turtle, which was continuously worshipped by humans, could not bear to see those people still trapped under the Law; therefore, it connected Heaven and Earth with its body, transforming its limbs into bridges reaching up to the skies, allowing those powerless individuals to surpass the restrictions of the Earth Law and roam freely above the Nine Heavens.
The actions of the Sky-supporting Old Turtle angered Nuwa, one of the rulers of Celestial Court, who then slaughtered the turtle. Using its limbs’ bones to support Heaven and Earth, and its shell to mend the breached Earth Law, she eternally nailed it within the fabric of the Earth Law.”
Of course, Qing Lunzi also read about these from ancient records, which are not much different from the myths.”

No one has ever seen the real Sky-supporting Old Turtle, nor has anyone seen Nuwa herself.
At least in this era, Nuwa no longer exists, although she is still said to be a sovereign presence, compared to the present rulers of the Six Great Star Regions, she is in no way inferior.
“I’ve digressed a bit too far. The Sky-supporting Turtle is very likely a descendant of the Sky-supporting Old Turtle. This Sky Pinnacle Armor is a No Grade unrestricted Divine Artifact. If it could be worn by a lower-ranked Divine Being, it would surely shine in the various competitions among lower-ranked Divine Beings. The resources earned from these competitions alone would be a significant wealth,”
Long Xiuzi sincerely said, “The two of us are already at Middle Tier, and this item isn’t of particular use to us. The reason we want to obtain it is to utilize it for resource gathering. Tian, if you’re interested, we could collaborate and make a profit from it. You just need to provide the Divine Artifact; we’ll handle the rest, and after the deal is done, the Divine Artifact will still be yours. If you aren’t interested in cooperating, you could also sell the Divine Artifact to us…”
Long Xiuzi elaborated his plan in detail, and Lin Shen nodded frequently as he listened, feeling that the plan had great potential.
To win in various ranking competitions in the Celestial Court and claim the vast resources distributed by the Court, you need to stand out from others, having your own style.
Ordinary people could at most win some consolation prizes, with the resources they obtain barely covering their routine cultivation needs.
