The Queen of Water Element had said so many things. First, she introduced her own origins, and then she told Sui Xiong the secrets of the Rulers of Four Elements and the four greater Divine Powers. She did all those things for her final question.
You clearly come from the ocean, and youâre obviously a jellyfish. However, how can you get rid of your own nature, and why are you not affected by your own attributes?
This question was really difficult for Sui Xiong to answer.
Normally, the power of any creature in the water would inevitably be affected by the attribute of water. There were two most typical examplesâthe Goddess of Ocean and the Queen of Water Elements. These two were believed to be the most powerful gods of the aquatic kind in this world. Of course, they could exert the power of other attributes, but they could never use them as naturally as they used water, nor as strongly.
Usually, they would use different strengths depending on the needs of the situations. At the crucial moment, their foundation was eventually water.
It was different for Sui Xiong. His appearance was a jellyfish, but in fact, he had no relationship with a jellyfish. Of course, he could exert some skills of a jellyfish, such as poison stings. That was the unique skill of a jellyfish. However, what kind of attributes should a jellyfish have? What was the nature of the soul of a jellyfish? Those had nothing to do with him.
After all, his soul was not a jellyfishâs soul, but a humanâs soul from a different world.
Hearing the inquiry of the Queen of Water Element, Sui Xiong was silent.
The Queen of Water Element wasnât in a hurry. She sat there quietly, waiting for his reply.
Time was not a problem for those two, especially for the Queen of Water Element. She could even be regarded as being born before the world was born. For that answer, she could wait as long as she liked. If she had to wait until another world was created, she could wait.
Could Sui Xiong make her wait until another world was created?
Obviously not! He wasnât that shameless! However, he really didnât want to tell her his own origin.
Everyone had their own secrets and somethings they didnât want to tell others. Maybe some people were willing to use their own secrets to exchange for other peopleâs secrets, but it didnât mean that others were willing, too.
For Sui Xiong, of course, he was interested in the things that the Queen of Water Element had told him. He was willing to pay a price for knowing those secrets, but that didnât include his origin!
He was a space traveler, and he couldnât tell this secret to anyone!
Sometimes, he thought that time travel was actually not so secretive. His own origin was not strange, so it didnât have to be a secret.
However, he just didnât want to tell others!
For example, a person liked all kinds of fruits except apples. He knew that apples were nutritious and good for his health, but he just didnât like apples. He didnât want to eat them.
If he was really hungry, he would eat apples, because if he didnât eat apples, he would starve to death. Otherwise, he wouldnât look at apples.
When Sui Xiong had been in college, the condition of his classmate had been more serious.
That classmate believed in Buddha, so he didnât eat meat, such as pork, mutton, and beef. He didnât eat any kind of meat.
As a senior intellectual, his fellow classmate naturally knew that being vegetarian wasnât necessary for Buddhists. In fact, one should not eat onions, garlic, and coriander. However, his classmate just didnât eat meat. That was the habit he had developed from his childhood, so he couldnât force himself.
One time that classmate had fallen in love, and his girlfriend was a female cook whose family members were all cooks. She had a faithful attachment to eating meat. On the issue of love, a man naturally had to compromise. In desperation, that classmate had eaten a piece of meat once. After returning to the dormitory, he had vomited several times. Finally, he had burst into tears and had said that although the girl was good, he couldnât be in her league.
There were some more extreme examples. Indians had had an uprising for butter, and Arabs had fought with others for the sake of pork. Therefore, if some people didnât eat something, they just couldnât eat it. Alas, nothing could help.
Sui Xiong didnât want to tell others his own origin for the same reason.
So he was silent for a long time, and he finally sighed deeply.
âSorry, I canât tell you,â he said. âI am really sorry, but⊠I canât tell you the reason why my strength is not affected by water although Iâm a jellyfish.â
The Queen of Water Element sighed deeply. The result was not beyond her estimation.
The reason why the Void Mask was not affected by its own race was a great secret. It could be counted as the foundation of his life. Once this secret was known by others, it would be equivalent to giving someone a blade that could kill him. In any case, he wouldnât tell her this secret.
She could judge his feeling on her own. If she were him, she wouldnât tell others such a secret.
Suppose that I had such a secretâŠ
âSo, can you give me a hint?â she asked.
This requirement was a step back. Sui Xiong couldnât refuse her. After thinking for a long time, Sui Xiong said slowly, âHave you ever lived by the sea?â
âOf course,â the Queen of Water Element said with a smile. âI have sent my avatars to live for a while in most of the terrains in this world. Donât mention the seaside, they even lived in lava.â
Sui Xiong secretly sighed. He said, âThere is a kind of small crabs on the beach. Their carapace is not strong enough, so they often look for some big conchs. They kill the conchs and drill into the conch shells to protect themselves by the shells. Have you ever seen such little creatures?â
âYou are talking about hermit crabs? Of course, Iâve ever seen them,â the Queen of Water Element said. âThey are strange. I think they have a spirituality. For common creatures, if they want attack force, they will improve their strength. If they want defense, they will improve their shells. If they want mobility force, they will improve their speed. However, hermit crabs are different. They choose to use tools to enhance their defense. This is the ability that ordinary creatures donât own. It is the spirituality that can distinguish between wisdom and obscurity.â
After being silent for a while, he said, âSo, have you ever thought about where its spirituality can be used?â
Obviously, the Queen of Water Element had thought about this problem. She said, shaking her head, âSpirituality is spirituality, and talent is talent. Birds can fly, and fish can swim. Fire elements need fire, and water elements need water. Those are natural attributes. No matter how powerful its spirituality is, its spirituality canât surpass its natural attributes.â
Sui Xiong said, sighing, âIf you donât go beyond your natural attributes, how can you go beyond your limits?â
The Queen of Water Element said, sighing, âYour words are true, but how can I go beyond my natural attributes? For so many years, only you could do that.â
Sui Xiong didnât reply. He kept silent.
He had already hinted his secret to her, but she misunderstood him. He could do nothing about it.
After a long silence, the Queen of Water Element understood that he wouldnât say more, so she sent him away with politeness.
When they just stepped out of the huge whirlpool, they heard an earth-shattering sound. The huge whirlpool filled with countless spells of Divine Power suddenly collapsed and set off boundless turbulence.
Looking at the scene that was horrible enough to make ordinary people horrified, Sui Xiong was shocked in his heart. He sighed secretly.
The tree wanted to be quiet, but the wind didnât stop. It wouldnât be easy for him to live a peaceful life.
