**Chapter 869: Unmatched Trouble-Making Skills**
Princess Dongfang Yao was recognized and couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed. She quickly changed her clothes and returned to her original appearance before coming back to Lin Muyu’s side.
Lin Muyu smiled slightly, "The ruler of the Dongfang Kingdom has chosen you as his successor, right?"
Dongfang Yao nodded, "My father asked me to start getting involved in state affairs, but to avoid gossip, I disguised myself as him."
"Understandable," Lin Muyu nodded.
Standing in front of Lin Muyu, Dongfang Yao felt inexplicably nervous. Given Lin Muyu’s status, Dongfang Yao, as a princess, was insignificant.
Not to mention her, even Dongfang Yi was not significant enough.
Lin Muyu was now the uncrowned king of the human world, holding the highest position.
Even the lofty Emperor Di was not as esteemed as Lin Muyu.
Dongfang Yao didn’t dare to blame Lin Muyu for his sudden arrival. Instead, she accompanied him with a smile and cautiously asked, "General Lin, would you like to sit here for a while? I’ll go get my father."
Lin Muyu shook his head, "I’m here to see you. Come with me to the Apothecary God’s hall."
Dongfang Yao was initially stunned, realizing that Lin Muyu had come specifically for her.
Dongfang Yao’s eyes widened in shock, covering her mouth to stifle a gasp, her beautiful face turning red.
"General Lin, do you mean you have a way to save my mother?"
Lin Muyu nodded, "I should be able to."
"Thank you, thank you, General Lin!" Dongfang Yao trembled with excitement, her voice shaking.
Saving her mother had always been her greatest wish, and now it seemed that wish could finally come true.
Dongfang Yao excitedly said, "I’ll go tell my father the good news."
"Tell him later," Lin Muyu waved his hand, and he and Dongfang Yao disappeared without a trace.
In this world, Lin Muyu had supreme authority.
He took Dongfang Yao and instantly teleported to the Apothecary God’s hall.
The hall was filled with the fragrance of herbs, invigorating anyone who smelled it.
There were no guards in the hall, and no one in the human race dared to trouble the Apothecary God.
The two walked straight into the inner hall of the Apothecary God’s hall.
There, they saw some apprentices.
Seeing Lin Muyu and Dongfang Yao, the apprentices put down their tasks, showing excitement.
Lin Muyu was now an idol for the entire human race, and almost everyone recognized him.
"General Lin!"
"Heavens, General Lin is actually here."
"Why would General Lin come here, and with Princess Yao? Could it be..."
Ignoring the murmurs around them, Dongfang Yao led Lin Muyu to where her mother was sealed.
Lin Muyu checked briefly and saw that Dongfang Yao’s mother was in a stable condition.
Although the Apothecary God couldn’t neutralize the corpse poison, he had slowed its spread significantly.
Even after more than ten years, the poison was still in the body and hadn’t invaded the soul.
Even if it had invaded the soul, Lin Muyu could still save her.
As long as it hadn’t been hundreds or thousands of years.
He released a wisp of the Undead Law, which carried vibrant life force and quickly dispelled the corpse poison’s law.
The wounds caused by the corpse poison healed at a visible speed.
Dongfang Yao was once again shocked. Could it be this simple?
But the wounds had disappeared, leaving her no choice but to believe it.
Lin Muyu said softly, "You can handle the rest yourselves. I’m leaving."
By the time Dongfang Yao heard Lin Muyu’s words, he had already disappeared.
Dongfang Yao didn’t even have time to thank him.
Lin Muyu had no interest in watching their mother-daughter reunion.
He entered the Ancient Battlefield, where he couldn’t teleport at will.
The Ancient Battlefield was independent of the world and had its own rules.
Even as the world’s master, Lin Muyu had to follow the rules.
Fortunately, with the dragon scale given by Antares, traveling was still convenient.
"Old An, I’m planning to resurrect some gods," Lin Muyu said to Antares.
Antares squinted, "Do you know what will happen when the gods are resurrected?"
Lin Muyu had considered this. The resurrection of the gods would inevitably impact this world.
Originally, the human race was the only power in the world. Now, there would be an additional power belonging to the gods.
If the two powers clashed, it could plunge the world into chaos again.
Lin Muyu had a plan, "I’ll find a place for the gods to live, separate from the human race, and impose some restrictions. It shouldn’t be a big problem."
Antares nodded, "Let me tell you something."
"I’m all ears," Lin Muyu smiled and listened attentively.
Antares organized his thoughts, "Most of the gods fell back then. Only a few survived by entering a deep sleep."
"The gods were naturally born from the world. To recover, they need to consume a lot of the world’s power."
"But at that time, the world’s power was already depleted. If they returned to the main world to sleep, they might absorb all the remaining power."
"So, most of the gods chose the Ancient Battlefield as their place of sleep."
"Although the Ancient Battlefield also contains the world’s power, it is not easily absorbed by them. Recovering would be very difficult, and they might never have the chance to recover."
Lin Muyu asked, "Did they know this?"
"Of course they did."
Antares’ words deeply moved Lin Muyu.
Knowing that recovery was difficult and even facing possible death, the gods still chose not to harm their world.
The gods were the children born from the world, and their love for the world was no less than that of the human race.
Lin Muyu understood why Antares was telling him this.
Antares was worried that if a conflict arose between the gods and the human race in the future, Lin Muyu would be torn about which side to support.
Antares knew Lin Muyu was sentimental.
Lin Muyu smiled, "Thank you. Trust me, I can handle it."
Antares knew Lin Muyu had made up his mind, "When do you plan to leave?"
"In nine days," Lin Muyu replied. He had spent one day in the Corpse Realm, leaving nine days until his appointment with the Demon Emperor.
Antares said, "Before you leave, remember to take the God-Slaying Fortress. Even if you don’t use it for fighting, it can serve as a means of transportation."
With Lin Muyu’s current strength, he could already drive the God-Slaying Fortress.
Even if he couldn’t fully utilize its power, it would be easy to deal with some super god-level beings.
As for using it as transportation...
Lin Muyu was puzzled, "Why would I need transportation?"
Antares chuckled, "You’ll understand when you get out. Just take it; I won’t trick you."
"And be careful when you go out."
"You’ve already provoked the Starry Sky Giant Tree, the Insect Race, the Wild Beast Race, the Shadow Race... Oh, and the Stone Branch of the Elemental Dragons."
"You’ve managed to cause so much trouble without even leaving the small world. Your trouble-making skills are unmatched. I have to admit, I’m impressed."
"Anyway, keep a low profile when you get out. Stay with the human race for a while, understand?"
The great world is not like the small world; it’s much more dangerous.
One careless move, and you could lose your life.
Lin Muyu understood this, "Don’t worry, I’ll be very low-key."
Antares rolled his eyes, finding it hard to believe Lin Muyu’s promise to keep a low profile.
