**Chapter 868: Kill Me! Kill Me! Kill Me!**
In the Corpse Realm, lightning still flashed, and the stench of decay was as strong as ever. As the master of the world, Lin Muyu only needed a thought to reach any corner of the world.
The Corpse Realm was just an independent space attached to the world, not even considered a fragment world.
Looking at the valley not far ahead, memories flashed through his mind.
It was here that he first encountered a life-and-death crisis.
It was also the first time he witnessed the faith of the human race.
The strong will of the human race’s warriors, even after death, had not been eroded by time.
The warriors of the human race used their will to protect him.
From that moment on, Lin Muyu made a decision.
Not only to protect the human race but also to make the human race stronger.
He did it.
Now, he had come to the Corpse Realm to complete another task.
He didn’t know if it would work, but he had to try.
In the pitch-black valley, surrounded by several high mountains, many powerful beings had turned into corpses.
As Lin Muyu walked into the valley, powerful beings in the mountains began to revive, exuding a terrifying aura.
One by one, black shadows rushed towards Lin Muyu, the stench of decay assaulting his nostrils.
These once formidable beings were now pitifully weak in Lin Muyu’s eyes.
With a slight movement of his will, a white light appeared on the black shadows, immobilizing them.
Stellar-level spell: Bone Prison.
He didn’t use spell linkage, just the Bone Prison alone to trap them.
With Lin Muyu’s current strength, these beings, not even at the god level, could be trapped for a very long time.
As long as Lin Muyu didn’t release them, they would never escape.
More black shadows rushed over, stronger than before.
The whole process was exactly the same as when Lin Muyu last came here.
No matter how many came, they would be trapped in place, unable to move.
Until no more black shadows came, the four surrounding mountains no longer had any corpses.
Lin Muyu could sense the breath of life from these corpses.
It was the breath of life from their souls; their bodies were dead, but their souls were not completely dead.
With a light touch of his finger, strands of the Undead Law flew out, landing on the non-human corpses.
The corpses quickly began to decay.
This time, they had no chance of revival, truly dead.
Perhaps true death was a relief for them.
Next were the human warriors.
Among them was a god-level warrior and several below god-level.
The Undead Law flew out again, this time showing its life-giving side.
A trace of vitality in their souls was activated by the law, showing vigorous life under its nourishment.
The souls were reborn, and the last bit of vitality became the source of life.
Through the law, Lin Muyu felt that their souls were entangled by some law.
It was this law that kept their souls from dying, trapping them here forever, while their bodies decayed, making life worse than death.
That forbidden technique from back then was very evil, making it impossible for them to die peacefully.
The Undead Law was strong, not only triggering powerful vitality but also dispelling the law that trapped their souls.
The powerful vitality spread from the soul to the body.
The souls began to recover from remnants, gradually becoming stronger.
The bodies also began to recover, the decayed skin falling off, new flesh growing.
The breath of life became stronger and stronger, everything developing positively.
Lin Muyu suddenly stopped.
He found that the newly reborn bodies were showing signs of decay again.
It wasn’t because of the forbidden technique, but because of time.
He realized he had overlooked something: time.
These people were from hundreds of years ago; with their level of strength, it was impossible for them to live until now.
Because of the forbidden technique, they existed in a special way, but they should have died long ago.
If left undisturbed, they could continue to exist for a long time.
The remnants of their souls would remain trapped until they completely disintegrated.
But now, Lin Muyu had dispelled the forbidden technique, allowing their souls and bodies to recover.
Similarly, time also played its role.
The time that had passed now had to be repaid.
Lin Muyu sighed softly. If he could control the Time Law and reverse time, he might be able to save them.
But now, he was powerless.
"Thinking too well."
Life is full of helplessness, and Lin Muyu was not omnipotent.
In this situation, he was willing but unable.
Suddenly, their souls trembled, sending a thought.
"Kill me."
"Kill me."
"Kill me."
The thought was very clear and intense.
They were asking him to kill them.
Lin Muyu fully understood their meaning and sighed deeply, "I understand."
They wanted to be freed, not wanting to live like this any longer, not even for a second.
Lin Muyu couldn’t save them now, the only thing he could do was to free them.
The Undead Law instantly transformed from life to death.
Their bodies completely decayed, only their souls remained.
Reaching out, he summoned their souls, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"Thank you!" The soul sent a thought, expressing gratitude to Lin Muyu.
Death was not painful for them but a relief.
The soul dissipated in Lin Muyu’s hand, completely dead.
Next, Lin Muyu received the same answer from others.
No one wanted to live in this way; they all wanted to die to be freed.
It started to rain in the Corpse Realm.
It had always been raining in the Corpse Realm, but this time it was different.
This time, the rain was filled with the breath of death.
Countless corpses collapsed and died in the rain.
The Undead Law cleansed the Corpse Realm, removing the filth and the effects of the forbidden technique.
Lin Muyu was very helpless; he couldn’t save the people inside, only free them.
Time is merciless; without achieving immortality, everyone has a day to die.
Even if one could live for ten thousand years, that day would still come.
Countless strong beings in the great world strive for the illusory immortality.
The Undead Law completely cleansed the entire Corpse Realm, then transformed into vitality, beginning to nurture new life. The sky, gloomy for hundreds of years, brightened again.
The valley was no longer dark, light shone in from outside, even bringing some warmth.
Lin Muyu watched as a small grass broke through the soil, beginning its weak and short life.
Arriving at the center of the valley, there was a teleportation array that could lead to the underground palace of the royal palace.
The Dongfang family had guarded the Corpse Realm for many years, never leaving.
Lin Muyu did not activate the teleportation array but directly appeared in the royal palace, in front of Dongfang Yi. Dongfang Yi was busy with official duties and didn’t notice Lin Muyu’s arrival.
"Lord Dongfang."
Lin Muyu called softly, startling Dongfang Yi, almost making him drop his pen.
Seeing it was Lin Muyu, he regained his composure and laughed dryly, "General Lin, why are you here?"
Lin Muyu found it amusing that Dongfang Yi, as a dignified ruler, was so timid.
Moreover...
Lin Muyu’s eyes narrowed slightly, realizing what was going on.
"So it’s Princess."
The person in front of him was not Dongfang Yi but Dongfang Yao.
Dongfang Yao wore a special mask that made her look like Dongfang Yi. Wearing Dongfang Yi’s clothes, it was impossible for ordinary people to tell the difference.
But it was far from enough to fool Lin Muyu.
