Philip looked up at the turtle, but it was looking at Emperor Kai’s Token that was suspended in the air instead. It said in a weather-beaten voice, “I’m surprised to see the Human Emperor’s Token left over from the Human Emperor’s era after thousands of years…”
‘Human Emperor’s Token?’ Philip was shocked and puzzled.
Was that not Emperor Kai’s Token?
How did it become the Human Emperor’s Token instead?
Then, the shadow of the huge turtle slowly lowered its head and glanced at the tiny human being in front of it.
It exhaled noisily and said, “Are you the boy chosen by the Human Emperor?”
Philip did not understand, but he still bowed and said, “I’m sorry, I don’t know how to address you, but I don’t know this Human Emperor whom you’re referring to…”
Huff!
The huge turtle exhaled again, stared at Philip for a long time, and said, “My name is Shinho. I don’t belong to the same era as you, so it’s not surprising if you don’t know me. I used to be the emperor of the earth. I guarded the earth for thousands of years.”
At this point, the turtle seemed lost in nostalgia.
After a long while, it continued, “I sensed the Human Emperor in you, but you don’t seem to be the Human Emperor. I can’t see through your secrets, but I know that you’re involved in a huge scheme. Since the Human Emperor has passed this token to you, it shows that you’re his chosen successor. Boy, make good use of this Human Emperor’s Token in your hand. We shall meet again.”
After saying this, the shadow of the huge turtle became dim.
Philip was full of questions and asked, “What Human Emperor? Who’s the Human Emperor? How did I become his successor? Please tell me!”
Before the shadow of the turtle dimmed completely, it said, “This world is incomplete, and this civilization has several gaps. If you want answers, you must enter the stargate and head to the other shore where you can find the answers to everything you want to know.”
With that said, the shadow disappeared.
