Catastrophic necromancer

**Chapter 1496: Lin Moyu’s Small World is Terrifying**

The Sacred Lord Hao thoroughly enjoyed the astonished expressions of the two, sipping his tea with a smile, finding the tea exceptionally sweet.

Madam Yu, despite her surprise, gave the Sacred Lord Hao a flirtatious glance, “Really, after all these years, your tastes haven’t changed a bit. You still love seeing people surprised.”

The Sacred Lord Hao laughed heartily, “Don’t you find it amusing?”

Lin Lao was currently checking the information of the two on the Human Emperor Network. As a top-tier existence in the human race, his permissions were very high. He muttered to himself, “Both of them come from a small world.”

“Sword Orchid God Sovereign opened a spatial passage from the small world and brought Lin Mohan out.”

“Lin Moyu, on the other hand, reached the Super God Realm on his own and entered the great world.”

“At that time, it was the Night Wind God Sovereign who received him. Outside that small world, there were various God Sovereigns from different races guarding…”

Lin Lao noticed something unusual from the information on the Human Emperor Network and murmured, “There’s something wrong with this small world, something very wrong.”

His words piqued Madam Yu’s interest, and she immediately checked all the information related to the two.

Madam Yu also sensed something amiss and looked at the Sacred Lord Hao, “Sacred Lord, you must know about this, right?” She believed the Sacred Lord Hao must have noticed something unusual long ago.

The Sacred Lord Hao nodded, “Of course, I know. That world is indeed very strange.”

Lin Lao said, “A small world that can nurture geniuses like Lin Moyu and Lin Mohan must have a big secret.”

“If we can uncover this secret, it might greatly benefit our human race…”

Madam Yu was clearly tempted, “Sacred Lord, since you know, you must have investigated it, right?”

The Sacred Lord Hao shook his head, “I thought about it but didn’t dare.”

Didn’t dare!

The two were taken aback. What did he mean by “didn’t dare”?

Was there anything in this world that the Sacred Lord Hao didn’t dare to do?

Among the human race, the Sacred Lord Hao was a top-tier powerhouse, with very few who could surpass him.

In the great world, the Sacred Lord Hao was equally formidable. He dared to charge into the holy land of the Buddha race alone, forcing them to bow their heads and admit their mistakes. Madam Yu couldn’t think of anything that the Sacred Lord Hao wouldn’t dare to do.

The Sacred Lord Hao sighed, “I went to that small world but didn’t dare to truly enter.”

“If I had really gone in, I feared I wouldn’t be able to come back.”

Lin Lao didn’t believe it, “A mere small world, you could destroy it with a flick of your finger. How could it trap you?”

The Sacred Lord Hao shook his head, “Lin Lao, when have you ever known me to speak nonsense?”

Madam Yu suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, “Could it be that there’s…”

She couldn’t think of any other possibility and didn’t dare to say it out loud. She quickly changed her words, “But that’s impossible. Didn’t they leave long ago?”

At this moment, Lin Lao’s expression also became serious, clearly thinking of what Madam Yu had said.

The Sacred Lord Hao said in a low voice, “A thousand years ago, people came out of that small world, and it wasn’t just one person, it was an entire race, a whole million people.”

Lin Lao frowned, “An entire race entering the great world, how come I’ve never heard of this?”

The Sacred Lord Hao said, “At that time, my third disciple, Zhu Tian, found it suspicious and brought them in, arranging a life star system for them and forbidding anyone from approaching.”

“Later, I went there and found that many of these people had extremely high aptitudes, with nearly half of them being geniuses.”

“The top few almost made me want to take them as disciples.”

Lin Lao was once again astonished. He knew how high the Sacred Lord Hao’s standards were; getting him to take someone as a disciple was harder than ascending to the heavens.

Madam Yu whispered, “With them gone, wouldn’t that small world be doomed?”

The fate of a small world was closely tied to the beings within it. If all the beings left, the small world would basically be destroyed.

The Sacred Lord Hao nodded, “I thought the same at the time, so I went to check on the small world. It did seem heavily damaged, but I felt that its internal vitality had become even more vigorous.”

“It felt like clearing out a batch of tumors, breaking and then rebuilding.”

“At that time, I wanted to go in and see for myself, but I received a warning before I even got close.”

“After that, I returned and found that those who had come out of the small world had all disappeared.”

“There were no traces left; they vanished completely. Even using causal treasures, I couldn’t trace them, as if they had never existed.”

“When I left, I set up a star-locking formation. The formation was intact, but the people were gone.”

Lin Lao and Madam Yu felt like they were listening to a bizarre story.

The powerful Sacred Lord Hao was actually scared off by a warning.

The people he had trapped with the star-locking formation were taken away without a sound, and all traces were erased.

They knew how terrifying such methods were. Erasing causality was beyond their capabilities.

Madam Yu asked, “So, even you don’t know the specifics of that small world?”

The Sacred Lord Hao took a sip of tea, confirming her suspicion.

Lin Lao frowned, “Then how did the Sword Orchid God Sovereign bring someone out from there?”

The Sacred Lord Hao replied, “I later asked the Sword Orchid God Sovereign. She said she received a warning at the time. A dragon elder from the small world warned her to take good care of Lin Mohan.”

“How is this related to the dragon race again?” Lin Lao felt the story was getting more convoluted.

The Sacred Lord Hao continued, “I later went to the dragon race and learned a secret.”

“Ten thousand years ago, the dragon race experienced some unfortunate events. A dragon with the bloodline of a Dragon God was taken away.”

“If I’m not mistaken, the dragon in that small world is the one taken from the dragon race.”

Taking away a dragon at the Other Shore realm, who could do that from the dragon race, especially one with the bloodline of a Dragon God?

Lin Lao and Madam Yu realized that only an existence of that level could accomplish such a feat.

After finishing his story, the Sacred Lord Hao concluded, “In any case, the secret of that small world is beyond our reach.”

“I don’t even want to inquire about the specifics of the small world. Sometimes, knowing too much can be dangerous.”

“The Sword Orchid God Sovereign thinks the same way, so she never asks Lin Mohan about the small world.”

“I suspect it might be related to ancient times.”

Madam Yu sighed, “Yes, some things are better left unknown.”

Lin Lao shifted his attention from the Sacred Lord Hao to Lin Moyu and Lin Mohan on the Ring Mountain Continent, “You hope these two youngsters can give you answers, don’t you?”

The Sacred Lord Hao, tired from talking, took a big sip of tea, “Indeed, I have that hope.”

“Then let’s wait and see.”

On the Ring Mountain Continent, time passed day by day.

Everyone had been walking for a long time, crossing one mountain forest after another.

The Ring Mountain Continent had a diameter of a million kilometers and a radius of five hundred thousand kilometers.

Excluding the distance from Fire Seed Island, each person would have to travel at least four hundred thousand kilometers in a straight line.

Without restrictions, four hundred thousand kilometers would be nothing, a blink of an eye.

But now, each person had to traverse mountains and forests like ordinary people, constantly fighting along the way, which would take them several months.

Currently, the fastest travelers were the Little God Sovereigns led by Dongfang Ze. They tried to avoid fighting ordinary giant beasts as much as possible.

Unless unavoidable, they generally didn’t engage.

Dongfang Ze was searching for leader-level giant beasts, but they were hard to find. A month had passed, and he hadn’t found any.

He had encountered several boss-level giant beasts, which brought him thousands of points.

But thousands of points were just a drop in the bucket, and the gap with Lin Moyu was widening.
