Chapter 378: The Will That Even Time Cannot Erase
Suddenly, a flash of black light passed by, and all the withered branches were cut down. Lin
A shadow appeared in front of Lin Moyu.
He was wearing armor and holding a sharp sword.
It was human armor and a human sword!
For countless years, this armor had never been worn down, and the sword remained sharp.
There was no doubt that these two pieces of equipment were of legendary status.
And their owner was a former god-level powerhouse of the human race.
He looked down at Lin Moyu, then glanced at the Genesis Scepter, his eyes glowing red.
Lin Moyu held up the Genesis Scepter but did not activate it.
Lin Moyu knew that even if he activated the Genesis Scepter, it would have no effect.
This person was too strong, unimaginably strong.
Then he turned around, facing the rotten giant tree, leaving his back to Lin Moyu.
He raised his sword and instantly soared into the sky, engaging in battle with the rotten giant tree.
Countless branches were cut down.
At that moment, Lin Moyu was greatly shaken.
"He is actually protecting me."
"No, he is not protecting me, but protecting the human race."
"His whole body is rotten, clearly already dead."
"Yet his last will has been preserved."
"To protect the human race!"
Lin Moyu was deeply moved. What kind of will was this?
Even after death, turning into a corpse, it still had not been erased.
The will had turned into an obsession.
Another powerful being descended.
In that great battle, several god-level beings were left here.
As soon as they appeared, they targeted the Genesis Scepter in Lin Moyu’s hand.
Each one was incredibly powerful, far beyond what Lin Moyu could contend with.
But then, another god-level powerhouse of the human race appeared in front of Lin Moyu, blocking the attack for him.
This happened repeatedly.
One god-level powerhouse after another appeared, pulling Lin Moyu back from the brink of death.
Lin Moyu’s shock reached an unprecedented level.
What kind of will could not be erased by time?
What kind of will could not be erased by time?
It transcended life, transcended time.
It penetrated the bones, sinking into every inch of the body.
A deep respect rose in Lin Moyu’s heart.
"It’s done!" Dongfang Yao’s voice rang in his ears.
The barrier looked unchanged, but when Lin Moyu touched it, he knew it was different. His hand easily passed through.
He took one last look at the god-level powerhouses of the human race who were still fighting.
"If there is a chance in the future, I will resurrect you."
Lin Moyu didn’t know if he would have the chance or if he could do it.
But at this moment, he made this sincere wish.
Then he turned and walked into the barrier.
As Lin Moyu left, the aura of the Genesis Scepter disappeared, and the aura of the living also disappeared.
The battle almost instantly stopped.
The god-level powerhouses of the human race flew back to one of the mountain peaks, and there was no more movement. The other corpses also returned to their places.
The [Corpse Realm] returned to silence, and darkness once again enveloped the land. The next moment, the undead army left by Lin Moyu simultaneously disintegrated and scattered.
Behind the barrier was a secret realm.
The secret realm was not large, only about a hundred meters in diameter.
In the center of the secret realm, there was a teleportation array.
Lin Moyu glanced at the secret realm, which was filled with numerous formations.
In the past, he wouldn’t have understood these formations at all.
But now, with his experience as a formation master, he could understand a bit.
These formations were connected to the barrier outside and also to a more terrifying seal.
According to Dongfang Yao, this seal locked down the entire [Corpse Realm].
The human race had paid a great price to seal the [Corpse Realm].
"Great, we can go back through the teleportation array," Dongfang Yao said after checking the teleportation array.
The teleportation array had the mark of the Dongfang family, and Dongfang Yao knew how to control it.
Lin Moyu said, "No rush, let’s rest here for a while."
Dongfang Yao was puzzled. They could go back now, so why rest?
Then she understood.
Lin Moyu began summoning skeletons one by one.
In the previous battle, in just one minute, the undead army was almost completely wiped out.
The remaining skeletons were mostly contaminated by corpse poison, and less than 2,000 were intact.
Out of 22 Lich Generals, 3 had died, which was the smallest loss.
But without skeletons, the Lich Generals were like commanders without soldiers, useless.
Now that they could go back, Lin Moyu, being cautious, wanted to replenish the undead army before teleporting.
In case something went wrong during the teleportation, at least they would have a way to deal with it.
Dongfang Yao thought for a moment and understood Lin Moyu’s reasoning, so she sat quietly to the side.
Skeletons were summoned at a rate of one per second.
Lin Moyu didn’t stop, summoning 3,600 skeletons per hour.
It would take about 4 hours to fully replenish the army.
Dongfang Yao watched for a while and gradually realized something was wrong.
"Doesn’t his skill consume mental power?"
"I can clearly feel a strong mental wave. Each skeleton requires a lot of mental power."
"But he seems to have endless mental power."
"How strong is his mental attribute?"
Dongfang Yao was extremely shocked. She always thought Lin Moyu was very strong in combat but never paid attention to his mental power.
In the [Corpse Realm], every day was a struggle for survival against the corpses, leaving no room for other thoughts.
Now that they were safe, she could finally relax and pay attention to other things.
Lin Moyu silently summoned skeletons, which greatly startled Dongfang Yao.
Dongfang Yao realized that unless they encountered an extraordinarily powerful opponent, Lin Moyu’s undead army would be invincible.
Especially on the battlefield, the undead army could easily defeat ten times their number of same-level demon armies.
The key was that the undead army did not fear death and could be replenished at any time.
As Lin Moyu’s level increased, the number of undead would become even more astonishing, and the skeletons would become even stronger.
By then, Lin Moyu alone could rival an entire army.
"If only I could have such an army..."
Dongfang Yao shivered and woke up.
She knew she was thinking too much; it was impossible.
But she couldn’t help but fantasize, "If only I could marry him..."
She thought of Lin Moyu’s expression when killing corpses, and a chill ran down her spine.
She realized that someone like Lin Moyu, decisive in killing, was not someone she could control.
Rather than becoming his wife, it would be better to be his friend.
With this thought, Dongfang Yao felt much more comfortable.
Lin Moyu glanced at Dongfang Yao without a trace.
Her expression had been strange just now, but now it seemed normal.
Ignoring everything else, he continued summoning skeletons.
Without a full undead army, he felt no sense of security.
Finally, after 4 hours, the decimated undead army was fully replenished.
Not counting his own summoning space, the 22 undead armies directly under the command of the Lich Generals, totaling 14,520 skeletons, were once again at full strength.
Lin Moyu took a deep breath, "Alright, let’s go back."
Dongfang Yao nodded and immediately stepped into the teleportation array, casting a series of marks.
As Dongfang Yao activated the teleportation array, a brilliant light suddenly burst from the grand formation beneath the palace.
The formation spirit appeared, and a series of thoughts were transmitted.
The three god-level powerhouses of the royal family, Dongfang Yi, Dongfang Li, and Dongfang Zhan, all received the message simultaneously.
Someone had returned from the [Corpse Realm] through the teleportation array.
The three of them showed expressions of joy and rushed over.
Meng Anwen also received the message and appeared in front of the formation spirit in the next second.
He had been here before and had silently left a teleportation coordinate.
He could come over at any time.
When Dongfang Yi and the other two arrived, they found that Meng Anwen was already there.
"Greetings, God of Peace," Dongfang Yi was the first to salute Meng Anwen.
Dongfang Li and Dongfang Zhan also greeted Meng Anwen.
Although god-level powerhouses were equals, Meng Anwen’s strength commanded their respect.
Meng Anwen merely nodded and didn’t pay them much attention. Instead, he asked the formation spirit, "Who is being teleported over?"
The formation spirit said, "A man and a woman, two people."
As it spoke, it projected an image of Lin Moyu and Dongfang Yao.
Meng Anwen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Lin Moyu was safe.
Dongfang Yi and the other two also showed joy.
Lin Moyu’s safety meant that the Dongfang family was also safe.
Dongfang Yao’s survival was an unexpected joy.
Dongfang Yi, as a father, was almost moved to tears.
The three of them knew well what the [Corpse Realm] was like and how difficult it was to return.
Even for them, entering the [Corpse Realm] was almost certain death.
A few days ago, they had already given up hope.
They never expected such a sudden surprise.
Returning from the [Corpse Realm] took some time.
Meng Anwen looked at Dongfang Yi and the other two, "This time, you are lucky. The Dongfang family is saved."
With that, he teleported away, not staying any longer.
Ten seconds later, the killing intent that had shrouded the royal palace for over a month receded like a tide.
