Catastrophic necromancer

**Chapter 1961: Ancient Ruins, World of Rules!**

After contemplating Elder Xing’s words, Lin Moyu decided to prepare for both possibilities.

Although he personally believed that the Great World might not be reborn and would ultimately face extinction, what if he was wrong?

He couldn’t treat his own thoughts as the only path for the Human Race.

Therefore, acquiring more resources to survive the final harsh winter before the rebirth was also a backup plan.

He also considered using his abilities to rebuild the Divine Path.

But what if he failed?

What he was doing now could also be seen as paving the way for future generations.

Lin Moyu understood the principle of not putting all eggs in one basket.

Since he had to act, he shouldn’t wait until later; he could start now.

The Tian Saint Sovereign and the Hao Saint Sovereign both pondered Lin Moyu’s suggestion. Although Lin Moyu was only a God Sovereign, his advice needed to be considered.

Both of them knew that as long as Lin Moyu didn’t die, he would inevitably become a Saint Sovereign.

Moreover, he was such a young Saint Sovereign, capable of living many more years than “one-three-three” and the others.

Perhaps in the future, all matters of the Human Race, big and small, would be decided by Lin Moyu.

Therefore, his words had to be taken seriously.

The Hao Saint Sovereign said, “I agree with your approach. Bring the Butterfly Race over, give them a hundred star systems, and conveniently eliminate the Python Race.”

The Tian Saint Sovereign frowned, “But we have no enmity with the Python Race.”

Lin Moyu shook his head, “The Butterfly Race is our friend. They helped us ten thousand years ago. Bullying our friends is bullying us, isn’t that enmity?”

“Moreover, just because there’s no enmity now doesn’t mean there won’t be in the future. If we don’t act now, someone else will target them later.”

“In the future’s harsh reality, small races have no way to survive.”

“Of course, if they flee, we don’t need to pursue them.”

Lin Moyu knew that if the Python Race wanted to escape, they could only flee to the outer domain.

But such weak existences would struggle to survive in the outer domain; death was only a matter of time.

It was foreseeable that when the strong races began to act, many would flee to the outer domain.

But in the end, almost none would survive.

Although the outer domain was desolate, it was not safe.

Under Lin Moyu’s somewhat cold suggestion, the matter was settled.

The Tian Saint Sovereign issued the order, and the Human Race dispatched two Other Shore realm experts to bring the Butterfly Race over.

Lin Moyu’s eyes gleamed with killing intent, “I think we can act against those small races that have enmity with us.”

“If Elder Xing’s prophecy comes true, having more resources will put us in a favorable position.”

At this moment, he seemed to have reached a higher level, no longer thinking for himself but for the entire Human Race.

Once at this level, he had to make some cruel decisions.

The Tian Saint Sovereign said softly, “I will carefully consider your suggestion.”

He didn’t agree immediately but also didn’t reject it outright.

The Hao Saint Sovereign noticed the change in Lin Moyu’s expression, stood up, and patted his shoulder, “Sometimes decisions are hard to make. You’ll understand in the future. Come with me.”

The Hao Saint Sovereign took Lin Moyu out of the Divine City. After leaving the formation, he took out his warship.

On the warship, the Hao Saint Sovereign brewed a pot of Dao tea using Dao water.

Dao water is very special; only a Saint Sovereign can boil it. When used to brew Dao tea, it greatly enhances the tea’s effects by ten to a hundred times.

Dao water is also very rare, even more so than Dao tea.

Its preciousness is comparable to the multicolored water, and because its only use is for brewing tea, it is considered even more luxurious than the multicolored water.

Therefore, even Saint Sovereigns don’t often use it to brew tea.

Lin Moyu had seen Dao water before but felt different this time.

He sensed a familiar flavor in the Dao water, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

But he couldn’t recall it at the moment, and he fell into deep thought.

The Hao Saint Sovereign, seeing Lin Moyu’s contemplative look, thought he was still pondering the previous matter, “Sit down and have a cup of tea. If you can’t figure something out, don’t think about it.”

“When your position changes, your perspective naturally changes. Sometimes a single word or thought can decide the life and death of billions.”

“It’s normal to find it hard to accept at first.”

The Hao Saint Sovereign, like a patient elder, guided Lin Moyu while pouring him tea.

Lin Moyu realized the Hao Saint Sovereign had misunderstood him, “You misunderstood. I once held a high position in the small world, where a single word could decide the life and death of thousands. I have slaughtered countless beings and am indifferent to matters of life and death.”

The Hao Saint Sovereign raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Then what are you thinking about?”

Lin Moyu said, “I’m thinking about this Dao water. It feels familiar, but I can’t recall where I’ve seen it.”

The Hao Saint Sovereign understood, “I see. This Dao water was obtained from ancient ruins. We don’t know its origin. It’s rare, but its only use seems to be for brewing tea.”

“It’s called Dao water because it contains Dao charm. When you comprehend the Dao, the Dao charm you emit is very similar to the Dao water, just more intense.”

“Perhaps you feel familiar because you’ve comprehended the Dao.”

Lin Moyu nodded silently, “Perhaps.”

Unable to figure it out, he decided not to dwell on it.

There are too many secrets in this world. Every time one layer is uncovered, more secrets appear.

He wasn’t omniscient, and there were many things he didn’t know, so this was just one more.

Lin Moyu drank the tea in one gulp. The Dao tea turned into a warm current that flowed through his body, finally concentrating in his soul and exploding, nourishing his soul world. His entire soul world seemed much clearer.

The Hao Saint Sovereign refilled Lin Moyu’s cup, “Dao tea brewed with Dao water is rare. Don’t waste it; drink more.”

Lin Moyu thanked him and took the cup, asking, “Senior, where are we going?”

The Hao Saint Sovereign replied, “To an ancient ruin. There’s something there that you need to retrieve.”

Lin Moyu instinctively asked, “What is it?”

He didn’t understand why he had to retrieve it. Couldn’t the Hao Saint Sovereign do it himself?

If even a Saint Sovereign couldn’t retrieve it, how could he?

The Hao Saint Sovereign smiled, “You’ll know when you get there. In that place, strength doesn’t matter as much.”

Lin Moyu responded with an “Oh” and didn’t ask further.

The warship continued to advance through the starry sky, leaving countless star systems behind.

Soon, the warship left the high-level area. Lin Moyu sensed the direction of the warship, which seemed to be heading outside the Divine City star domain.

“The ancient ruin is outside the Divine City star domain,” Lin Moyu thought to himself. Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared in the dim starry sky.

In the light was a rapidly spinning vortex, similar to the entrance of a secret realm.

As the entrance appeared, the warship rushed in.

Lin Moyu couldn’t help but ask, “Is the ancient ruin inside a secret realm?”

The Hao Saint Sovereign smiled, “Sort of, but not exactly. Ancient ruins and secret realms are different.”

Secret realms are evolved from ancient talisman fragments, while ancient ruins are remnants from ancient times, fundamentally different.

The warship sailed through the vortex for ten minutes, passing through a long passage, and finally entered the ancient ruin.

Lin Moyu found that all his connections to the Great World were severed.

He couldn’t see the lines of laws, nor could he sense the Law Star River.

All his power, except for his physical strength, was suppressed.

He had experienced this feeling before.

“This is a world of rules!”

He didn’t expect the ancient ruin mentioned by the Hao Saint Sovereign to be a world of rules!
