Transmigrated into a tortoise, the Empress and the Goddess became my sisters.

Lin Tian checked the turtle's body from head to toe, trying to pry it open here and there, but he couldn't open the shell with his little paws at all.

"Holy crap, why can't I get it off?"

Being a turtle isn't easy; shedding its shell is a real ordeal.

Lin Tian looked left and right with his little bean eyes, and his gaze suddenly fell on a piece of lava rock outside the eggshell. In an instant, he came up with a way to molt.

"It seems we still need to rely on external forces."

Lin Tian muttered to himself, then swam towards the outside of the eggshell, approached the magma wall, and pressed his body against it.

Scratching left and rubbing right, I refuse to believe I can't scrape it off! Lin Tian twisted the turtle's body and scraped back and forth.

Wow, that feels so good!

Lin Tian secretly felt a surge of joy.

Next, they checked the break point of the peeling and quickly found that the skin on the lower jaw had peeled off.

He scraped the shed part of his lower jaw against the magma cone, twisted his body, and slowly crawled out. In less than five minutes, the shell came off.

Lin Tian then realized that his body had grown to more than twice its previous size.

The turtle's entire body was bathed in the cool air, and the feeling of freedom and exhilaration was indescribable. Most importantly, it became much stronger.

Lin Tian inspected it again, admiring the smooth and shiny new tortoise shell on its body.

"It's a bit too black, but the gloss is pretty good!"

"yeah!"

"Wait a minute! Why haven't they shed their shells yet?" Lin Tian looked at his two younger sisters and saw that their shells had already been cracked open.

But the two of them still showed no sign of breaking free, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Did I hit it?"

Lin Tian wasn't heartbroken over the two bad turtles; he was just worried that without them, his spiritual power points would increase slowly.

He went up to take another look.

Good guy

Lin Tian exclaimed, "Wow, this spirit insect is really something!"

I had only been asleep for a short while, and the two turtles had grown quite a bit, no wonder their shells were so brittle.

That's not right!

The shells are all broken, why aren't these two coming out? Lin Tian took another closer look.

After all, she's his sister. He may have hit her and disciplined her, but his concern for her was genuine.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the broken tortoise shell was enveloped in blue spiritual energy, and the two tortoises' beady eyes were slightly closed.

Lin Tian then suddenly realized what was going on.

These two aren't refusing to shed their shells, nor have they stopped; they're still in the process of cultivation, and quite focused at it.

Good guy.

As expected of the Empress and the Goddess, they are indeed formidable figures. They can even endure the pain of shedding their skin in order to achieve cultivation.

Lin Tian decided not to disturb them and started looking at the system interface.

[Host: Lin Tian]

[Level: LV3, Awakened Intelligence, Adult Strength Limit: 100, Size Increase: 10cm]

[Species: Crested Turtle]

[Ability: Enhances the mobility of the tortoise shell and limbs, enabling it to fight animals of similar size]

[Strength: 60, capable of strangulation using her own strength, up to 120kg]

[Defense: The turtle shell and claws increase its speed, but its defensive capabilities are relatively weak.]

[Divine Power: 0]

[Return to next evolution: 600 Divine Power]

Lin Tian was overjoyed when he saw the data on the screen: "Wow, it hasn't been that long and I've already reached level three."

He secretly calculated the speed at which his divine power was growing and evolving, and quickly obtained the result. To his surprise, he discovered that he, who hated math in his previous life, was surprisingly good at calculations.

"Am I getting smarter?"

"Wow! Being a tortoise makes me smarter than being a human? Spirit insects are really good; they can improve cultivation and awaken intelligence."

"Wonderful!"

Lin Tian quickly recalculated to verify his idea, and immediately realized something was wrong.

"That's wrong!"

"Why is my divine power value zero? What happened to what I had left? Did the system pocket it?"

No matter how Lin Tian calculated it, something felt off. He instantly felt that the system was unfair, so he called out in displeasure.

"System, come out."

"How come I've reached a higher realm? And why is my divine power less?"

"There are still a few who have completed the task. What about the ones from before? Did you swallow them up?"

[Host, please be patient. The divine power value exceeding your level has been reserved and automatically allocated to various purification processes in your body to provide the spiritual power needed for your physical needs at any time.]

[If the host wishes to grow in size rapidly, they can use spiritual power to activate their molting talent, which they can fully withstand.]

[Once all evolutions reach a strength exceeding 150, one can successfully unlock the Divine Beast training realm.]

[Congratulations, host, on activating cultivation and becoming a member of the divine cultivators.]

[The reward herbs have been distributed. Please check your account.]

Lin Tian was completely bewildered. He hadn't even passed the transformation stage yet, so how could he cultivate in a divine manner?

"System, are you kidding me? How am I supposed to cultivate if I don't take human form?" Lin Tian asked as he began searching for reward herbs.

[Host: Gods are different from others. Once they gain intelligence, they can cultivate. After cultivating, they can take human form. Those who take human form can be called the Celestial Cultivator God Race.]

"No, at what level can I transform into human form?"

Lin Tian couldn't wait to ask. Being a good person is not good, but being a person with super strong cultivation is a different story.

After all, once you're used to being a human, suddenly becoming a tortoise, even though you don't have to be a beast of burden, is a different story from being a cultivated person.

However, the system seemed to be dead, no longer responding to his messages, and asking repeatedly was to no avail.

Lin Tian immediately became furious and grabbed the system, shouting at it.

"Tongzi, you come out here!"

"I still have so many questions to ask! How could you just disappear like that? That's so unfair of you."

"I'll just ask you one question: does eating food rich in spiritual energy help with cultivation?"

[Spirit Devouring and Divine Transformation: Directly strengthens the host's physique, unlocks intelligence, and enhances combat power by absorbing the energy consumed.]

The system finally responded, and Lin Tian suddenly realized what was going on.

"No wonder my divine power increased so quickly after I ate the spirit insect and fought two turtles. I need to keep eating them and work on it, and fight turtles more often."

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he started searching again, and finally found the spirit herb that was a random reward.

This herb is unlike any other; its tender green shoots are surrounded by a pale blue aura, making it appear entirely emerald green and crystal clear.

But if you don't look closely, it's just an inconspicuous blade of grass.

Lin Tian saw the name on the page.

"Spirit-Stabilizing Grass?"

"No, system, even if it's a random reward, you should at least tell me what it's for!"

[Spirit-Stabilizing Grass: It can gather spiritual energy, calm the mind and promote restful sleep, and assist in improving cultivation.]

Lin Tian was delighted upon hearing this.

"This is good!"

"Breathing can increase divine power, and deep sleep, especially steady breathing, further increases divine power. Combined with gathering spiritual energy, cultivation will take off!"

Lin Tian was overjoyed. He immediately pushed open the broken eggshell, found a secluded spot, and planted the Spirit-Stabilizing Grass.

Just as he finished planting and was about to get a good night's sleep, Long Yao, using the pull of the magma stone, shed her shell in the blink of an eye.

Not only has its size increased considerably, but a faint blue spiritual aura is also faintly visible all over its body.

Her eyes were filled with resentment as she roared at Lin Tian.

"You stupid, ugly black thing, I've successfully upgraded to a divine beast! Watch me smash your head open and avenge the theft of your insects..."
