"You damn piece of log, I told you to not disturb me in sleep all the time, and you are still behaving like this even after the geezer is dead!" the tortoise notices the one waking him from his beautiful slumber. Pointing at the Weapon Devourer Void Log, the tortoise charge like a bullet, and clashed with the log in a split second. Long Feng is shocked with what had just happened without any explanations. But he received a word from the log. "Save me! This damn tortoise bullies me all the time!"
Seeing how the tortoise actually taking its advantages to strikes at the log, Long Feng suddenly takes control, as it slapped the tortoise away. "Oh! Geezer's inheritor?" the tortoise speaks. It looked at Long Feng and gaze him from top to bottom and back to the top again. "What had you awoken me for? Since it is not fate but disturbance, I will not bother to listen to you, so, do not bother to speak to me." the tortoise asked a question but reject from listens to it. It turned around and walked for a few steps before the tortoise turned around again.
"Since meeting with each other is a fate, I guess I can listen to your explanations." the tortoise changed its mind almost in that few seconds. "I am here to see if I could obtain your approval." Long Feng speaks out his mind, as the turtle suddenly jump over to his shoulder. "You want my approval? It is going to take a while. I always see the starts for fate. It is a fate that the time is nighttime now, so I can read the stars to see how is the fate between the two of us together."
"Hmm, it seems like there are no stars this night, then that's fate too. That means there is no fate stringing the two of us together. If there is no fate between us, I guess I will not approve you then. This is your fate, hahaha." the tortoise finishes his words and left Long Feng's shoulder and stands on the stone. "Its fate that I will have to change the words in this stone." the tortoise shave the stone with its sharp nails and engrave some words again.
"The fate determine you will not receive a blessing."
"Leave."
After it finished the words, it walked back to the hole it came out from. "Do you wished to stay here forever and fight with your fate?" a voice came behind the tortoise. "What did you say? Who says that I will fight against my fate? Since the fate is not showing the path, it is a fate as well, I am not against it!" the tortoise immediately replied as it turned around and stares at the trio.
"Alright. I guess that the fate didn't actually bring my husband and the Weapon Devourer Void Log together. So if the fate is not there, we will not be having the [Golden Blood from the Heavenly Chariot] as well. Since the fate is not standing with us, I guess it is actually cursed that awoken you from your slumber instead. If the fate didn't bring us before you, so what means fate? I should listen to you, tortoise, since you are so loyal to the fate you mentioned." Nan Jing Jing speaks. She knows that this kind of opponent is the most difficult to handle, especially when Long Feng is required to face it.
"Missy, you are quite good with your words too. What is your name?" the tortoise speaks. "Well, the fate just made you failed to get my name, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?" Nan Jing Jing replied back with a little dissatisfaction like a princess failed to get what she likes. "Alright, I will introduce myself first. I am [Wooden Xuan Wu Sealing the Heaven Seal!]." the tortoise introduce himself to Nan Jing Jing.

"Oh, such a glorious name, I wonder if that true. If you are actually boosting, that's means this is my fate too... I am too unqualified to speak out my name, sorry, Wooden Xuan Wu Sealing the Heaven Seal." Nan Jing Jing says sorry to the tortoise as she stopped herself from speaking out her name. This way, she made the tortoise feel that he over boast his own name, and after a little hesitation, he finally speaks again.
"Alright, I am the [Wood Xuan Wu Stamping Seal], satisfied? Tell me your name now!" the tortoise unhappily introduces himself in a more proper way, as Nan Jing Jing to introduce herself. "So, Wood Xuan Wu, what is wrong with your pathetic form?" Nan Jing Jing did not forget to continue to comments on the tortoise's incompetence, and regarding its ridiculous appearance.
"This is because of fate! I tell you, it is because of fate!" the tortoise got so emotional as the talks gone to his pathetic appearance. "I am a spirited treasure in the form of a seal. I used to have a nicely carved body, there is a beautiful and smooth base stone that was specially engraved just for my figure to stands, with a jade pearl before my jaw. Now, it is all because of those despicable Wooden Beast! They actually take a bite on me and scattered me into three-piece!"
"If I'm in my perfect body, my appearance will be hundred times better than the log and the damn horse there. Aih, where had my base and my beautiful jade pearl had gone." the tortoise lamented a while, as Long Feng withdraws the Sky Sealing Formation Net. "My base! That is my base!" the tortoise saw that piece of the cube within Long Feng's hand, and immediately shouts.
"Come back!" the tortoise called the piece of base to return to him, as the cube flew over to where the tortoise stands. Like a piece of a toy is attached to each other, the two combined into one, and formed a much more brilliant light covering the place where they all stand. The moment when the light vanished, the trio was already wrapped in sealing net.
"Hahaha, I had my ability back!" the tortoise is laughing for its fortune to be able to found back one of its parts. Its appearance is much grander now if compared to the tiny tortoise a while back. "Husband!" Nan Jing Jing softly whispers to Long Feng and tries to get his attention. Long Feng turned and face her to see what she wanted to talk about.
"Is all the treasure of the ancestor is sentient? This tortoise seems like one. You see, it could move, act, speaks and even seal all of us here if it's not sentient, then what?" Nan Jing Jing gave out her hypothesis regarding this matter. Long Feng has no choice but to ask the log for a word, and the log quickly replied. "The damn tortoise is not sentient, he is like me, refined from a special being. His strength mostly came from formation so..."
Long Feng quickly understands the situation.
"Devourer Intent - Total Desolation!"
Long Feng cause the soil, ground all become dried and desolated as he forces his devourer intent into the ground. Very quickly, the inscription circle on the ground had been broken because of the cracking ground. "No!" the tortoise figure vanished from thin air, and only a piece of incomplete seal could be seen on the ground.

Long Feng grabbed the seal in his hand as he injects his consciousness inside. But the results are more than what he wanted. The three of them is absorbed into the world belonged to the [Wood Xuan Wu Stamping Seal]. Except for Long Feng, the other two was shocked as they opened their eyes. The realm within the seal is a vast universe where the trio is floating in the air, as the circles of inscriptions are floating all around them.
There are butterflies formed from inscriptions circle, fluttering around the trio like they were not even there. Snakes that formed with inscriptions is getting touchy with the bear's inscriptions as the trio looks, and birds, fish, a human figure that was formed with inscriptions are seen all around this realm. The trio shock is soon broken with a single word.
They turned around and look at the tortoise standing on its two legs. "What is this? You are forcing your fate on me!" the Wood Xuan Wu speaks as it sat down on the inscription formed ground. "Don't you dare to think that I will acknowledge you by just returning the base to me! Eh, wait why had this base changed? It felt different but yet similar. What had you done to my base?" the Wood Xuan Wu finally noticed the difference of the base compared to how it was used to be.
Because of the special traits of the Shennong Moon Dew, it was enhanced with the capability to store the sealing inscriptions within the base. With this base is returned to the Wood Xuan Wu, it's capability had improved even more, into a form that could allow any inscriptions to be stored within to be used without any additional requirements.
"This felt so amazing, did you actually got the fate to receive such a blessing?" the tortoise is even more shocked. If this kind of blessing come for two more times, I will be able to get sentient! That time, I will be able to venture around the world freely as I wish! I will be able to find the other Xuan Wu's!" the tortoise is even happier as it thinks about the future he could expect.
"There is even one more fate that brings you together." Nan Jing Jing speaks. Even Gou Yu speaks from behind, as he took out a piece of tortoiseshell within his hand. Gou Yu reminded himself, how thoughtful of his master to actually had him prepared a complete tortoiseshell. He has a slight suspicion at first about his master's arrangement, but now, he actually appreciates it.
"Oh! The tortoise shell, did the young lady actually send you to get this item to me? What a fate, here I am thinking that she might have forgotten, but she actually remembers it! She remembers it!" the tortoise happily mentioned what had happened a long time ago. Gou Yu immediately replied. "Wood Xuan Wu, my master is exactly the young Zhi Ruo you mentioned. She had me purposely prepare this shell in order to fulfil your request to her before." Gou Yu speaks as he throws the piece of tortoiseshell to the side of Wood Xuan Wu.
The Wood Xuan Wu turned for a few circles, and starts to chant some incantation without any sound could be heard. Then, a few formation circle started to appears from the front, back and top of the tortoiseshell. Like a scanner that runs through an item, the formation circle ran pass the tortoise shell for a few times, before it vanished into thin air. The Wood Xuan Wu continues.
A repeated incantation is seen chanted from the Wood Xuan Wu's jaws, as the tortoiseshell started to shakes. Then, like a new beast is reborn, an ethereal body of a tortoise that seems to be alive started to squirm within the shell, and soon, after its four limbs had come out from the opening gap, the tortoise begins to walked over to where Gou Yu stands.
This is what I promised the lady." Wood Xuan Wu speaks as the ethereal tortoise stands by the side of Gou Yu. Its body started to glow, and it is unbelievable that at first, the tortoiseshell is actually as big as a male's chest, but after it had been inhibited by this ethereal tortoise, the actual shell actually grows to about an adult's size.
"The [Soul Wisp of Longevity] is a rare treasure that should be used with care. Since the lady had passed this request to you, it just means that you are the chosen person she would like this treasure to follows. The treasure might felt weak for now because it had yet to activates. The moment you had a drop of your cultivation essence blood is given to this treasure, It will only be usable, and inheritable by the people from your clan."
"The [Soul Wisp of Longevity] could greatly enhance its master's cultivation capability, improvement, life, and also health into twenty percent each time it received a drop of Cultivation Essence Blood. If the fate allows you to have 100 years of lifespan, this treasure will let you live for 120 years old, and if you had three drops of blood within, you will be able to increase your lifespan to 160 years old. But you have to remember one most important thing."
"The wisp is not to be disappointed. For the reason why it would be, only the inheritor of this treasure will have the capability to understands it. Or else, the family will be cursed instead." the Wood Xuan Wu speaks with much importance and seriousness. With the words is finished between Wood Xuan Wu and Gou Yu, it turned to Nan Jing Jing and questioned her.
"What do you mean by there is one more fate that brings me and you people together?" it asked. Nan Jing Jing looked at the Wood Xuan Wu as she begins to replies its words. "Even Gou Yu had a gift. I have nothing to give you except words. Even if I already was spoken, you might not reward me with anything. Why should I tell you?" Nan Jing Jing uses her tricks again to try and cover a single treasure from the Wood Xuan Wu.
"What a sharp tongue lady. Fine, take this. Now tell me what you mean." the Wood Xuan Wu throws a single piece of a flute to Nan Jing Jing's hand, and allows her to take it. "What a beautiful shell moulded flute. But I don't know what is its usage. What if this actually an ornament and nothing special within?" Nan Jing Jing continues with her words, and cause Wood Xuan Wu to falls at its back without words to say.
"Argh! Girl! You are too much!!! I hate it when I cannot fight you with words!"

8 162My Girlfriend, the Necromancer
The power of the Orb cleaves the skies and shatters the earth. It heralds the advent of a new era, one where humanity is no longer at the top of the food chain and we must rise to the challenge when faced with our own extinction as a species. I could hardly care less. All I ever wanted was to love my Allie, to grow old and wrinkly by her side as I held her hand before taking my last breath on this green earth. To have our love echo through the ages, an ode to the last great love story on the planet, one that would endure the end of humanity, the breaking of the world, and even defy the dread summons of Death itself. It’s said that when the gods unleash their fury upon mortal kind, they grant their wishes. Well, crap. This is a gritty end of the world survival story with modern fantasy/romance/game-like elements in it. The main focus will be character development while stats and menus are there as a fun vehicle to empower the imagination. This is a work in progress and I deeply appreciate any helpful suggestions, so please don't be shy with input! Currently posting at least one chapter per week.
