Turtle jelly.

Although the explanation was in terrible taste, it was also so simple it was easy to understand.
"They're extracting the Vortex Turtle's energy."
Those black threads bored into the ground, drawing out the Vortex Turtle's energy and transferring it to the other threads, which in turn produced this effect of near-omnipotent creation.
'The Vortex Turtle really did contribute immensely to the Oasis,' a strange thought suddenly occurred to Mo Ling.
It used its own body as the foundation, created the circular channel that stored the Oasis's water, and even provided the energy to create the Oasis itself.
Even the shell-kin who lived on its body were helpers in the Oasis's creation.
But this was surely not of its own free will.
Mo Ling was confused. Why had the creature of purple gauze—now Li Xiangyi—gone to such lengths to create the Oasis?
