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

"Fortune telling? How would I know how to tell fortunes!" Upon hearing this, the Asura Goddess shook her head vigorously, her dark tortoise face filled with resistance.

"My 'premonition' is at most a passive skill of jinxing; it's either right or wrong, sometimes it's right and sometimes it's wrong!"

"No, but you were talking like it was the truth before? And you even said you were going to be in big trouble?" Lin Tian stared at her black head bobbing in the water.

"Well, I really feel a little panicked..." The Goddess of Asura was also a little guilty, and her voice became much softer. "But, but this thing is unpredictable! It's not the kind of skill that can predict the future, it's more like... a kind of intuition, yes, intuition!"

She struggled to organize her thoughts, trying to explain clearly: "It's like when you're eating ice cream on a hot summer day, and suddenly your head goes 'buzz,' that 'icy' shock you get, you know?"

"That's pretty much what I mean by 'premonition.' It comes suddenly, which makes people uneasy, but how can I know exactly what kind of danger it is, where the danger is, or when it will come!"

"So your 'premonition' is just a 'sixth sense'? And a 'defective' sixth sense at that?" Lin Tian finally understood and rolled his eyes in annoyance.

“You can also understand it that way…” The Goddess of Asura shrank her neck, her voice becoming even softer.

"What's the point of that!" Lin Tian couldn't help but swear. It's practically useless!

"It's not entirely useless..." the Goddess of Asura tried to argue, "At least... at least we can know something in advance..."

"What do you know? You know you're going to be unlucky, and then you just watch yourself suffer?" Lin Tian really wanted to pry open this Asura Goddess's shell and see what kind of mush was inside.

"Oh dear, never mind it. This is just my 'premonition,' and there's nothing I can do about it!" The Goddess of Asura was also getting anxious. This was something she couldn't control, and she was helpless too!

The sound of rushing water was constant all around. Apart from the sound of water splashing against the rocks, a few small animals were chatting idly, so it didn't feel deserted.

The little black bear was obedient this time, following the three turtle brothers obediently. Its four paws were paddling hard in the water, like a little motor, and it swam quite fast.

They drifted downstream along the river, not knowing how long they had been floating, as the surrounding scenery gradually changed. The once dense forest gradually thinned out, the river channel widened, and the current became more and more rapid.

"Where have we drifted to?" The Empress poked her head out, looked around, and asked somewhat bewilderedly.

"I don't know, but it should be quite far from that forest." Lin Tian said, paddling while looking around.

This forest was unusually large. They had been drifting for so long, yet they still hadn't reached the end. All they could see in the distance was the endless canopy of trees.

"Look! What's that?" the Asura Goddess suddenly said, pointing ahead, her voice tinged with surprise.

Lin Tian and the Empress looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a wide expanse of water at the end of the river, like a lake. The water surface shimmered in the morning breeze, and it was quite a beautiful sight.

On the other side of the lake was a vast plain covered with all sorts of wild grasses and low shrubs, completely different from the primeval forest they had been in before.

"It seems we've drifted to the very bottom of this forest," Lin Tian said.

Just then, a pale light appeared on the horizon, and the soft sunlight shone through the clouds, casting a golden glow on the earth.

As the sun slowly rose, it painted the edges of the clouds with a brilliant orange-red hue, much like a perfectly ripe egg yolk, a beauty that was breathtaking.

A thin layer of mist rose from the river, ethereal and adding a touch of mystery to this tranquil body of water.

Several unidentified waterbirds flew in from afar, circling over the river and making clear calls, as if celebrating the arrival of a new day.

"How beautiful!" The Empress exclaimed, looking at the scenery before her.

"Yes, it's so beautiful!" Lin Tian nodded. It was the first time he had ever seen such a beautiful sunrise, and his mood improved as a result.

The little black bear also poked its head out, curiously looking at the surrounding scenery, seemingly also attracted by the beautiful view.

Only the Goddess of Asura was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery at the moment; her face was dark, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"By the way, those people just now, they said they were from the 'Heavenly Crippled Sect,' do you know what that is?" Lin Tian suddenly remembered the two fierce-looking men from before and asked.

"The Heavenly Crippled Sect?" The Empress shook her head. "Never heard of it. Probably some insignificant little sect."

Although she was young, she was quite knowledgeable in her family and had heard many strange and wonderful stories, but she had never heard of this "Heavenly Crippled Sect".

“I know,” the Goddess of Asura suddenly spoke up, “I’ve heard of the Heavenly Crippled Sect; it has a terrible reputation!”

"Oh? How so?" Lin Tian immediately became interested. He was worried about how to find out about these human cultivators, but he didn't expect that the Goddess of Asura would know.

"To put it bluntly, the Heavenly Crippled Sect is just a bunch of idle bastards who like to take crooked and evil paths!"

The goddess of asura spoke with utter disdain, “They don’t cultivate much themselves, they just think about how to capture us animals, extract our beast essence, and suck our blood, and they call it ‘beast taming’!”

"Beast taming? I think they're a bunch of perverts!" the Empress said angrily. "They're utterly depraved!"

"That's right!" the Asura Goddess said indignantly. "What these guys like to do most is capture sentient animals, refine them alive, extract their beast essence, and then use it to enhance their own cultivation. They're worse than beasts!"

"They are not picky eaters. Whether it flies in the sky, runs on the ground, or swims in the water, as long as it has developed intelligence, it is their target. The animals in the area before my rebirth were almost wiped out by them. Many groups were directly wiped out by them!"

"So ruthless?" Lin Tian frowned as he listened. He hadn't expected the Heavenly Crippled Sect to be so cruel.

"Absolutely!" The Goddess of Asura's tone was full of resentment. "These guys are like a pack of mad dogs, biting anyone they can get their hands on."

"Our turtle clan can barely withstand attacks because our shells are quite sturdy. But those creatures with little defensive ability, like rabbits and foxes, are truly doomed if they get caught by them!"

"Aren't they afraid of retribution?" the Empress asked indignantly.
