**Chapter 862: Start Acting, Emperor Di’s Divine Assistance**
After returning, Shu Lin Muyu spent two days with his wives and then resumed his cultivation. Lilian was right; he indeed needed to hurry up.
Whether for himself or for Ning Yiyi and others, he couldn’t waste time.
He was already at level 98 and could drive the laws.
Next, to step into the half-step super god, he needed to try to control the laws.
Driving the laws and controlling the laws, although both involve the use of laws, are fundamentally different. Driving is just using the laws; the laws do not belong to oneself and do not bear one’s mark. You can use them, and others can use them too.
Controlling the laws means gathering the laws into the soul and body, making them a permanent part of oneself, and marking them with one’s unique imprint.
This way, the laws become your private property.
Manipulating them becomes more effortless.
At the same time, the power of the laws will also increase significantly.
It can be said that after becoming a half-step super god, the improvement in strength is the improvement of the soul and the degree of control over the laws.
Just controlling one percent of a law can make one a half-step super god.
Then continue to comprehend the laws, increasing the control to two percent.
Although it only increases by one percent, the power of the laws has already doubled.
A two percent control of the laws is also one of the basic conditions for becoming a super god.
In the process of controlling the laws, continuously enhance one’s attributes.
Choose one of the three paths and break through one attribute to ten million.
Then, with a two percent control of the laws, one can step into the super god level.
This is the process of becoming a super god. It sounds simple, but it is not easy to achieve.
Lin Muyu is now proficient in driving the Undead Law.
With a thought, a mass of grayish-white gas appeared in his hand.
This is the Undead Law.
It contains life and death, a complete Undead Law.
At the same time, in the soul world, the small hand of the soul body also held the Undead Law.
Whether using the physical body or the soul to drive the Undead Law, it only takes a thought.
But when Lin Muyu tried to imprint his soul mark on the Undead Law, to mark it with his unique label, he couldn’t do it.
The Undead Law always remained on the surface. It could be used when needed and dissipated when not needed. It never reached the level of controlling the laws.
Lin Muyu knew this couldn’t be rushed; it required time and comprehension.
Just like when he comprehended the Undead Law, perhaps a moment of enlightenment would do it.
Now he had all the basics, only lacking the final push.
Time passed day by day.
The situation in the abyss became increasingly favorable for the human race.
The living space of the abyss demons was continuously compressed, and they retreated step by step.
The human race, suppressed by the abyss demons for so many years, finally had a chance to shine in this war.
One thrilling victory after another was recorded in history.
In the face of victory, the human race became confident, strong, and self-assured.
From initially worshiping Lin Muyu to later not completely relying on his power.
In less than two years, the worship of Lin Muyu was rapidly declining.
A misconception of "I can do it too" emerged.
As a result, the power of faith significantly weakened, and this trend continued to grow.
One day, the demons began to resist.
The Demon Emperor appeared on the battlefield and severely injured the human race in just a few moves.
Then, the Demon Emperor continued to act, and the demons started to counterattack.
The human race began to retreat step by step.
This time, the human race was stunned.
Before the Demon Emperor appeared, some even said that the Demon Emperor was afraid and didn’t dare to act.
Some even claimed that even if the Demon Emperor acted, they could still defeat her.
Until now, when the Demon Emperor truly acted, people realized the vast difference in strength.
Meng Anwen, Bai Yiyuan, and Yan Kuangsheng knew about the cooperation between the Demon Emperor Lilian and Lin Muyu, and that Lilian wouldn’t act.
This was their confidence in exterminating the abyss demons this time.
But now, Lilian suddenly acted, leaving the three puzzled.
"Did the Demon Emperor regret it?"
"It shouldn’t be. If she wanted to act, she would have done it long ago, not waited until now."
"Then why?"
"Why not ask Xiaoyu."
After some discussion, Meng Anwen decided to go back and ask Lin Muyu if there was any change in his cooperation with the Demon Emperor.
At this moment, a powerful aura suddenly descended from the sky.
The aura shocked Meng Anwen and the others, but it also felt very familiar.
Bai Yiyuan’s eyes flashed with brilliance, "The old man is back."
"Didn’t Emperor Di leave? Why is he back?"
"Who cares, it’s good that he’s back. With the old man here, we don’t need to disturb Xiaoyu."
Emperor Di, like the Demon Emperor, was a level 99 half-step super god.
The two were evenly matched.
With Emperor Di here, there was no need to fear the Demon Emperor.
Emperor Di returned to the human world and secluded himself for half a year without much breakthrough.
Suddenly, he thought of the front-line battlefield and, on a whim, remembered his continuous battles and breakthroughs when he was young.
He realized he needed battles to help him break through.
So he came to the abyss world, to the front line.
Emperor Di didn’t stay in the army, only using his aura to inform everyone of his arrival.
Then he single-handedly charged towards the Demon Emperor.
A fierce battle ensued.
All professionals could feel the massive energy vibrations in the distance.
The distant world seemed like the end of the world.
It was an extremely fierce battle, with Emperor Di and the Demon Emperor fiercely clashing.
The aftermath alone was enough to kill them.
Even Meng Anwen and the others couldn’t get close.
The gap between high-level gods and half-step super gods was vast.
The difference between driving and controlling the laws was significant.
The news of Emperor Di’s return spread quickly. Emperor Di had guarded the human race for over a hundred years and had immense prestige.
His appearance greatly boosted the human race’s morale.
Just when everyone thought Emperor Di could hold off the Demon Emperor, the battle that lasted for two days ended. Emperor Di was defeated, and the Demon Emperor’s shadow loomed over the sky, roaring.
The terrifying image of the Demon Emperor, transformed by Lilian, attacked the human army.
With Emperor Di defeated, no one in the human army could resist the Demon Emperor, and they had to retreat again.
Since the Demon Emperor acted, the human race had been retreating continuously.
The territory they had taken over a year to conquer was lost in less than two months.
After discussing, Meng Anwen and the others decided to find Lin Muyu.
Currently, it seemed that only Lin Muyu could deal with the Demon Emperor.
Meng Anwen left the abyss and rushed back to Xiajing City as quickly as possible.
In the manor, Meng Anwen met Lin Muyu.
Lin Muyu had been staying in the small garden at the back of the manor, comprehending the laws.
After half a year of comprehension, he seemed to have made some progress, but it was always just a bit short.
"Teacher, why are you here?"
Meng Anwen’s arrival was within Lin Muyu’s expectations.
He knew the Demon Emperor had acted, and the human race’s situation was probably not good.
Meng Anwen didn’t waste words and explained the recent situation, including the battle between Emperor Di and the Demon Emperor, which ended in defeat.
Lin Muyu was slightly stunned, "Even Emperor Di was defeated?"
Meng Anwen nodded, "The old man seemed to have made some progress after returning from the deep space, but he still couldn’t match the Demon Emperor."
Lin Muyu was secretly delighted. Emperor Di’s action was unexpected.
Not only did Emperor Di act, but he was also defeated.
This was a divine assistance to his plan.
Lin Muyu’s expression remained unchanged, "How are the casualties of the army?"
Meng Anwen sighed, "We retreated early and quickly, so the casualties were not severe."
"Xiaoyu, has there been any change in your cooperation with the Demon Emperor?"
Lin Muyu nodded slightly, "Indeed, there has been a slight change."
