Lin Yan was originally worried that learning this ancient language would delay the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s request for his help.

Unexpectedly, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother sent a message that the Three Dominations was profound and difficult to master. It was endlessly profound and required an extremely long time to master.

Therefore, she suggested that Lin Yan leave first. In a year or two, when he had some achievements in Three Dominations, he would help her.

For this, she even told Lin Yan that she had already arrived at the destination of this trip and informed him to leave with others.

“Brother, this Turtle Spirit Holy Mother treats you too well and trusts you too much! Could it be that… you’re really her mother?”

“Piss off!”

Old Qin secretly sent a message, but it was dismissed by Lin Yan.

However, to be honest, Lin Yan had never felt such pure trust from outsiders after awakening his wisdom.

He was silent for a moment. He first left the library and quietly found Liu Lanqing and the others.

They had boarded the submersible under Captain Sung’s arrangements and were ready to leave.

Under the deliberate delay of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, the diving cabin did not set off in a long time because it was waiting for Lin Yan.

The distance from Ding’an City to the prefecture capital was actually equivalent to the upper ball shell to the lower ball shell. The actual distance was not far, so it was not strange for them to arrive so quickly.

However, Lin Yan hesitated for a moment and naturally didn’t board the submarine.

It would have been fine if he really needed a year or two to cultivate the Three Dominations.

However, the problem was that he had the Enlightenment Spiritual Light and there was quite a lot of it. If he really wanted to cultivate it, it would not be difficult for him to deduce the Three Dominations to the peak perfection level in minutes.

As for the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, she naturally did not know this, so there was a high chance that she would not lie to him and scheme against him.

In that case, he could not lie to himself and leave without caring about the trust of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother.

At the very least, he had to wait and see what was going on with this Gadfly Demon.

Even an ancient creature like the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother could not solve it. With his ability, he probably could not solve it either.

There was a high chance that the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother had mistakenly thought that he had the ability to deal with the Gadfly Demon because of the Black Tortoise aura on his body.

After he was sure that he was helpless, there was no harm in leaving.

The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother was naturally pleasantly surprised. The golden ball jumped around Lin Yan, but the surrounding people completely ignored it.

In the cabin that Lin Yan had entered, Captain Song had also received orders to get Liu Lanqing to close the cabin door. The meat pillar that he had seen previously appeared again. It passed through the fixed buckle on the side of the diving cabin and fixated the diving cabin. Then, it dragged the diving cabin towards the passageway outside.

“No wonder Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue have never seen the full appearance of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother. They all enter and exit through the diving cabin. They don’t have to come out of the water at all, so they naturally can’t see anything.”

As no water would flood in when they left, there was no need to close the cabin door. After Lin Yan saw the diving cabin leave through a circular gap at the top, he turned around and walked towards the library where the leather books were kept.

He was in no hurry to cultivate the Three Dominations. He knew nothing about the Gadfly Demon. His first priority was naturally to understand it.

There was also the history of the Turtle Spirit Clan. He had to study it carefully. The current situation of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother was far from the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother that Old Qin had mentioned. Lin Yan instinctively felt that the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s transformation was definitely related to the Gadfly Demon.

Of course, he had to learn the ancient language first. After all, Old Qin was only a jade statue. It was too troublesome for him to translate the books one by one, and it was not conducive to information processing.

In the next few days, Lin Yan spent most of his time in the library. When he was hungry or thirsty, he would go to the kitchen to get something to eat. As he got Old Qin to teach him the ancient language, he studied the Three Dominations.

As expected of a supreme martial art that exceeded the true level. There were clearly only three moves, but they contained extremely difficult mysteries. As a result, Lin Yan only increased his proficiency from 1% to 2% after studying them for a few days!

“This is only the entry level, but it’s already so difficult. The amount of

Enlightenment Spiritual Light might not be enough…”

Fortunately, Lin Yan still remembered that the silver-armored soldiers had obtained the Spirit Marrow from the body of the Gadfly Demon.

Therefore, once he found a way to kill the Gadfly Demon, he should not lack the Enlightenment Spiritual Light.

Naturally, he couldn’t just let Old Qin run errands without giving him any reward. Lin Yan only left a piece of Spirit Marrow wreckage for emergencies. He gave the other pieces of Spirit Marrow wreckage to Old Qin and rewarded him for his “hard work”.

Of course, the reason for this was mainly because he had another piece of large-scale Spirit Marrow, or Divine Marrow, that he had dug out from the body of the huge Corpse Buddha Cockroach.

If anything happened to Xiaozhi, he could immediately suck this Divine Marrow dry and put it into Xiaozhi’s body.

As for why he did not use it now, firstly, there was still a lot of Enlightenment Spiritual Light and he was not in a hurry to use it.

Secondly, such a large Spirit Marrow was extremely precious. If it was in the prefecture capital, it could probably be exchanged for more low-grade Spirit Marrow to maximize the benefits.

For the next few days, Lin Yan conserved a few Enlightenment Spiritual Lights and finally had a rough understanding of the ancient language.

In fact, after learning a little, Lin Yan realized that these ancient words had some similarities with the words used today. Some words were more complicated, and some words were simpler. There was indeed a reflection relationship between them.

It was obvious that the words used today had been transformed from this ancient language. Moreover, almost every stroke of each word, the components, and so on had been deliberately changed, causing every word to be completely different from the original ancient language.

This was definitely not a natural evolution. Instead, a group of people deliberately manipulated it and used the power of the authorities to promote it, completely wiping out the ancient language.

“To bury ancient history?”

With the help of the Enlightenment Spiritual Light, coupled with the fact that the ancient language was similar to the words used now, in just a few days, Lin Yan had a rough understanding of the ancient language. He could also read the books in the library. If he encountered anything he didn’t understand, he could ask Old Qin and continue reading.

He specially asked Old Qin to roughly categorize them. He found one of the bookshelves that recorded the history of this Turtle Spirit Clan before reading every word.

Reading the history of the Turtle Spirit Clan bit by bit made Lin Yan believe that Old Qin was right.

In an even more ancient era, the Turtle Spirit Clan had a history that was endlessly glorious and even connected to myths. It was far more grand and rich than Lin Yan had imagined.

It had its own calendar, rules, and structure of authority. It was simply like a mysterious ancient country, and merely from the records of history, one could see how vast and majestic it was back then.

They called the ancient country they lived in the Divine Turtle Island and called their calendar the Holy Mother Calendar. Naturally, they took it from the name of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother.

The first page of the opening chapter recorded: “In the first year of the Holy Mother Calendar, the Holy Mother woke up from the chaos. Our ancestor, Song Yan, was summoned and boarded the Divine Turtle Island. He received the divine teachings of the Holy Mother and transcended into the Saint Realm overnight. From then on, he bathed in the divine grace of the Holy Mother and founded the Turtle Spirit Race. He was worshiped as the son of the Holy Mother. Our race will always serve the Holy Mother. Our race will always be the descendants of the Holy Mother.”

There was also a lot of trivial information on the next page.

However, a large portion of it said that the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother had revealed a miracle and helped the Turtle Spirit Clan. It had been nearly hundreds of years.

Especially when they were facing a calamity, the deed of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother showing her divinity to save the world attracted Lin Yan’s attention.

For example:

“In the tenth year of the Holy Mother Calendar, the Thousand-Eyed Insect Demon stirred the ground, causing the sea to rise and cover the sky. Destruction is imminent. The Holy Mother revived, and with a roar, she calmed the tide. The Holy Mother only loves our race. Our race will always serve the Holy Mother, and our race will always be the descendants of the Holy Mother.”

“In the 130th year of the Holy Mother Calendar, an army from Xiang Country invaded and arrived at the city with the intention of seizing the Shattered Star Rock Mine. When our race was in danger, the Holy Mother revived. With a roar, she ordered the 100,000-strong army of Xiang Country to retreat and saved our race from danger. Our race will forever serve the Holy Mother. Our race will forever be the descendants of the Holy Mother.”

“In the 267th year of the Holy Mother Calendar, the Great Tribulation descended on the world. The land ascended, and the world reversed. The world was doomed. The Holy Mother revived and opened the Divine Lord Barrier. She rode the wind and waves and resisted the Great Tribulation of the Apocalypse alone. After the tribulation, all countries were destroyed, and only our race was unscathed. Our race will serve the Holy Mother forever, and our race will forever be the descendants of the Holy Mother.”

The more Lin Yan read, the more he had an indescribable feeling.

This historical record could almost be called the epic of the Turtle Spirit Clan experiencing the calamities of the world, as well as the epic of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother showing her divinity and saving the Turtle Spirit Clan.

Perhaps it was because such leather books were difficult to find in that era, so every sentence in the Holy Mother Calendar was extremely short.

However, even so, at the end of every sentence, there would be an additional sentence. “Our race will always serve the Holy Mother. Our race will always be the descendants of the Holy Mother.”

When he first saw this sentence, Lin Yan only felt that this faith was pretentious.

However, as he read word by word, he saw that when they were facing extinction time and time again, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother appeared and saved the Turtle Spirit Clan. No matter what kind of crisis it was, without exception, she had never broken her promise.

Even Lin Yan was slightly touched.

If he was from the Turtle Spirit Clan, after understanding such a magnificent history, he would definitely have faith and admiration for the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother.

If these records were true, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother was indeed worthy of the belief and worship of the Turtle Spirit Race.

As he flipped through the pages, more details were revealed. If all the records were true, the Turtle Spirit Clan’s faith in the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother would definitely be unbreakable and immovable.

As he flipped through it, Lin Yan’s gaze froze when he reached the last book. “Gadfly Demon…”

The record was as follows:

“In the 339th year of the Holy Mother Calendar, the Holy Mother passed down a divine decree and ordered us to enter the Holy Mother’s body and kill the Gadfly Demon.”

There was only a short sentence recorded, but this was the first time the words “Gadfly Demon” had appeared in history. Moreover, according to the records, in the beginning, it seemed that the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother had asked the Turtle Spirit Clan to help her kill the Gadfly Demon.

Lin Yan pinched the remaining pages. This was the last book, and at this point, there were only about ten pages left.

The records of the Turtle Spirit Clan had its own unique rules. There was only one sentence recorded on a page, accompanied by an illustration of an ancient style.

In other words, after this page, there were only ten records left?

Lin Yan immediately flipped through it and read it word by word.

“In the 339th year of the Holy Mother Calendar, we fought a bloody battle against the Gadfly Demons. Our race will forever serve the Holy Mother, and our race will forever be the descendants of the Holy Mother.”

“In the 339th year of the Holy Mother Calendar, the Holy Mother passed down the supreme technique ‘Three Dominations’. It’s specially designed to restrain the Gadfly Demons. It’s estimated that they will be exterminated in a month. Our race will forever serve the Holy Mother. Our race will forever be the descendants of the Holy Mother.”

“In the 339th year of the Holy Mother Calendar, a month has passed, and we have failed… The Gadfly Demons have been reproducing inside the Holy Mother’s body day and night, absorbing nutrients. Their number is far beyond imagination. Our people have suffered heavy casualties, and twenty percent of the young and strong have been lost. This must be the Holy Mother’s test. It will probably take another year to kill the Gadfly Demons. Our race will serve the Holy Mother forever.”

“In the 340th year of the Holy Mother Calendar, the elder brought a special divine technique. It can greatly increase the strength of the clansmen and greatly increase the efficiency of killing the Gadfly Demons. Holy Mother, praise the elder!”

“In the 340th year of the Holy Mother Calendar, there was a bloody battle. All died, all died, all died… Rumors began to spread in the clan.. Honorable and noble Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, why don’t you reply to the prayers of your believers and love your people?”
