Chapter 760: Everything is Ready, and You Show Me This
Meng Anwen and Bai Yiyuan were somewhat surprised by Lin Moyu’s decisiveness. They found themselves increasingly unable to understand Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu did not offer much explanation for this. He had already learned too much about the cruelty of the great world from Antares. In wars between races, there are rarely any prisoners. The result is either you die, or I perish. Exterminating entire families and clans is just child’s play; annihilating every last one, not even sparing an insect, is the norm. Lin Moyu did not explain, and they did not ask further.
Meng Anwen expressed that he would follow Lin Moyu’s wishes. After all, the bridge was built by Lin Moyu, and once they crossed it, they couldn’t turn back and destroy it. Lin Moyu said softly, "Teacher, it’s not that I enjoy killing."
"But please believe me, we cannot leave any survivors."
Lin Moyu solemnly reiterated this point. Meng Anwen and Bai Yiyuan took it seriously. The three of them chatted for a while longer, and Lin Moyu inquired about recent events in the human world during his absence. The human world had been more peaceful than before. Since the last attack by the Dragon-Demon alliance, the structure of the human world had changed. There used to be over a hundred different forces of varying sizes in the human world, but most of these were wiped out or scattered during that war.
The country closest to the Shenxia Empire, the Sakura Kingdom, was also destroyed. They even tried to drag the Shenxia Empire down with them in a final act of desperation, but Lin Moyu and Meng Anwen thwarted their plans. Many small forces like the Sakura Kingdom were destroyed, and even the few that survived disbanded. They realized that only by banding together could they survive. Facing the pressure of survival, they began to align themselves with larger forces. They wanted to join the Shenxia Empire, but the Shenxia Empire did not accept them.
"Those who are not of our race must have different hearts." This phrase applied not only to other races but also to other human forces. Those who looked different from the Shenxia people, with blond hair and blue eyes, and even different ways of thinking, found it hard to be accepted as Huaxia people. The issue of bloodline inheritance was something the Shenxia people could never avoid. This mindset was deeply ingrained, and even among humans, most Shenxia people saw other humans as different. They believed there were two kinds of humans in the world: those with black hair and black eyes, the Shenxia people, and everyone else.
Moreover, the Shenxia Empire had a rich and continuous historical heritage, passed down for thousands of years, unlike other forces with fragmented histories. Some of these other forces even fabricated information to prove their historical significance, but these were eventually exposed as false, much to their embarrassment. Lin Moyu did not care about this; he was a Shenxia person, and while he did things for the human race, it was primarily for the Shenxia people. As for those outside the Shenxia, he had no concern. Bloodline inheritance also influenced Lin Moyu. The Shenxia Empire rejected all outsiders, recognizing only those with Shenxia blood. Even if a Shenxia person married an outsider and had children, those children would not be recognized. Although such cases were rare, they did occur over the millennia, and those individuals had to leave the Shenxia.
This is the power of bloodline. It may seem narrow-minded, but it also exudes confidence and nobility. Now, Lin Moyu had become a deity worshipped by the entire world. Despite some complaints about the Shenxia Empire’s exclusivity, no one dared to challenge it. Lin Moyu was too powerful, single-handedly suppressing the dragons and abyssal demons. He could confront the Dragon Emperor and Demon Emperor head-on. Which country would dare to oppose him?
Aside from changes in the world’s power dynamics, there was also news about Ning Yiyi. Ning Yiyi had been diligently leveling up, and Ning Tairan recently reported that she was close to reaching level 60. She was currently with Mo Yun, Shu Han, and Mu Xianxian, forming a team with a few others. With Mu Xianxian’s presence, their dungeon runs were quite fruitful, and they had gained some fame. Lin Moyu felt relieved upon hearing this. As long as she was safe, that was all that mattered. With Ning Tairan around, how could Ning Yiyi be in any danger?
Another piece of news was that Ning Tairan had successfully reached level 96, along with Feng Xiu and Mo Xinghai. It was said that Ye Hao was also close to reaching level 96, likely within the next few days. The human race was growing stronger, and Lin Moyu could feel this transformation. The entire race becoming stronger was the best outcome. Before the apocalyptic war, the human race was not weak. There were super-god-level individuals and half-step super-gods among them. If the abyssal demons and dragons had invaded back then, they would have been annihilated in no time. Now, the human race was on the path to resurgence. Especially after the Soul Fusion Array, the Shenxia Empire’s accumulated strength had fully erupted, with high-level gods emerging one after another. It was conceivable that in the future, half-step super-gods might also appear, perhaps even several at once.
Lin Moyu slept soundly in the White God Courtyard, his soul power still overflowing and resonating with the world around him. In his sleep, he felt a sense of merging with the heavens and earth. He slept for a full 24 hours, something he hadn’t done in a long time. When he woke up, Bai Yiyuan and Meng Anwen had already left. Lin Moyu knew they were busy mobilizing the army and opening the passage to the dragon world, tasks that couldn’t be accomplished with just a few words. Bai Yiyuan and Meng Anwen were both occupied. Meng Anwen was setting up a grand array, using the Shenxia Tower’s powerful array capabilities to open a space-time passage.
In the White God Courtyard, Lin Moyu drank two more cups of tea before activating Antares’ dragon scale. Antares, with his head lowered, glanced at Lin Moyu through a slit, "Have you rested enough?"
Lin Moyu smiled, "Yes, I’m ready to start again. This time, let’s have a good fight."
"Come on, let’s have a good fight this time!" Antares slowly regained his spirit, letting out a series of strange laughs.
From level 83 to 86, Lin Moyu hadn’t moved any skill star cores for three levels. Now, his soul power was incredibly abundant, with plenty to spare after maintaining his soul world. Lin Moyu felt he could move many skill star cores, not just six. With his will carrying immense soul power, he charged into the skill space and, without hesitation, grabbed the nearest skill star core and started dragging it out. The skill space’s binding force instinctively resisted, but Lin Moyu, being overly prepared, made it seem effortless. The weak binding force of the skill space was helpless against him, unable to resist and had to let him do as he pleased.
"So easy, so effortless!"
Lin Moyu had never experienced moving a skill star core so easily; it was almost effortless. It felt like just a flick of his finger, and the star core came to him. In just an hour, he had forcibly dragged the skill star core out of its birthplace and into an unfamiliar world. When his soul power truly surged, the immense power flowed into the skill star core, filling it up in just two minutes. There was no need for multiple rounds of activation to fully awaken the talent. It was done in one go.
Antares blinked, "What are you doing!"
He felt like he was out of a job. "Everything is ready, and you show me this?"
Lin Moyu felt a bit embarrassed, "It seems my soul power is too strong, I couldn’t control it, and it filled up all at once."
