**Chapter 860: The Great World Rune Doesn’t Want to Kill Me**
Shu Lin Muyu found that his tolerance for pain was rapidly increasing. From initially being unable to bear the soul-wrenching pain, he gradually got used to it, and eventually even found it somewhat exhilarating. His soul world was repeatedly shattered and then restored under the purple glow of his talent. The soul world was visibly becoming more solid, while the soul mark of the starry sky giant tree was weakening at the same rate.
In a distant corner of the great world, the starry sky giant tree was bewildered. It had paid a huge price to plant a soul mark on Lin Muyu, but the mark had just disappeared. When it vanished, the starry sky giant tree was furious, thrashing its massive branches in the starry sky, breaking space and destroying several stars. But in an instant, the soul mark reappeared. This left the starry sky giant tree puzzled. The mark kept disappearing and reappearing, and with each cycle, the connection between the tree and the mark grew weaker until it was completely lost. This time, the soul mark was truly gone and did not return. The starry sky giant tree, in its confusion and anger, raged once more. Not only had its previous efforts been in vain, but it also failed to obtain the dragon pearl, and now even the soul mark was gone. In the vast great world, where could it find Lin Muyu?
"Damn it, human boy, I remember your scent, you can’t escape! I will kill you and devour your laws!" The starry sky giant tree roared, its terrifying branches thrashing in the starry sky, causing nearby stars to shatter into dust.
Finally absorbing all the soul marks, Lin Muyu let out a long sigh of relief. The knife at his neck was removed. He had once again deeply experienced the dangers of the great world. The soul world, having absorbed the soul mark of the starry sky giant tree, became more solid. Originally, the soul world had a glass-like shield on the outside, a sign of a third-grade soul. Correspondingly, the third-grade soul was covered in a layer of golden light, looking like a golden body. After absorbing the power of the soul mark, the previously slightly murky glass gradually became transparent, turning into crystal. The golden light on the soul itself began to show a white glow. When the soul world became purely transparent, turning from glass to crystal, the soul also transformed from a golden body to white jade. A jade-like soul and a crystal world signify a fourth-grade soul. Lin Muyu took a big step towards a fourth-grade soul with this opportunity.
Antares marveled, "Incredible."
Lin Muyu knew it was referring to his talent. His talent not only allowed for rebirth but also absorbed and converted the soul power of different species into his own. Such a talent was too defiant. Lin Muyu smiled slightly, "Come help me look at something."
"What now?" Antares followed Lin Muyu to the spell star of the Wings of the Undead. It looked like an ordinary spell star, neither forming multiple stars nor birthing laws. Antares didn’t understand what was to be seen.
Lin Muyu said, "This is the spell star of the Wings of the Undead. You know its function well, but it seemed to have changed when I was trying to get the last dragon pearl."
As he spoke, Lin Muyu began to inject his soul power into the spell star. The star’s light became dazzling. Then, with a light shout, Lin Muyu injected all his soul power into it. The spell star shone brightly, illuminating the entire soul world. At that moment, its brightness surpassed all other spell stars. A peculiar aura emerged from it.
Antares exclaimed, "Space law..."
"So this is the space law," Lin Muyu said softly, withdrawing his soul power. A large amount of soul power was consumed instantly, making Lin Muyu feel a bit weak.
"Previously, to get the last dragon pearl, I fully activated the Wings of the Undead, which caused a phenomenon similar to teleportation. At the same time, I sensed a trace of law on the spell star, but I wasn’t sure what law it was." Lin Muyu’s knowledge of laws was still insufficient, and he couldn’t fully judge new laws. He needed more experience.
Antares looked at Lin Muyu like a monster, "Chaos law, time law, space law, undead law. You’re a freak. I think the great world rune cursing you is too lenient."
"The great world rune should have killed you, not let you live." Lin Muyu chuckled, "Too bad, I’m still alive. Are you disappointed?"
Thinking of the great world rune, Lin Muyu noticed it was full of cracks. He thought to himself, "Maybe it didn’t want to kill me, but it couldn’t handle it."
Antares snorted, "Extremely disappointed."
Lin Muyu knew what it was thinking, just being contrary, "Old An, let me ask you something. Why did I level up directly after killing the starry sky giant tree’s soul fragment, instead of gaining experience?"
Antares wasn’t surprised, answering casually, "That’s because the level difference between you and it is too great. Although you killed only a soul fragment, it’s like a clone. But its main body is too strong."
"In the world’s rules, your action is like a newly transferred rookie killing a level 90 god-level professional."
"Experience can’t be calculated, so you leveled up directly."
From its words, Lin Muyu caught some unusual information, "You mean the world’s rules? What rules?"
"The rules for your human professionals. You’ll understand when you reach the great world." Antares didn’t elaborate, and Lin Muyu knew there must be a reason. He wasn’t in a hurry; everything would be clear in the great world.
Antares was heavily restricted in this world. Lin Muyu sighed, "Alright, I’ll go back now. I’ve been out for a while."
Antares nodded, "I have something to tell you. You’d better find Lilian and put on a show with her."
"Huh?"
Another show, what show?
Lin Muyu was puzzled. The humans had already invaded the abyss, and the situation was very favorable. Lilian hadn’t acted, so what show was needed?
Antares explained, "Have you noticed that the power of faith has weakened?"
Lin Muyu nodded. He had noticed that the power of faith he received had been weakening over the past six months, more than halving from its peak. But he never paid much attention to the power of faith, so he didn’t care.
He didn’t understand why Antares suddenly mentioned the power of faith.
Antares said, "The power of faith is somewhat useful, otherwise it wouldn’t be one of the fundamental forces of your humans."
Lin Muyu believed Antares, "Alright, I know what to do."
"Good, now you can go back and hug your wife."
With that, Antares breathed out a large dragon breath, sending Lin Muyu back to the human world.
