Catastrophic necromancer

**Chapter 1989: The Enigmatic Karma**

The ten female Divine Kings who had been possessed by the Soul Devouring Clan were resurrected in the Undying Flame, their souls reconstituted.

According to the rules of Resurrection of the Dead, their original souls, the ones before being possessed by the Soul Devouring Clan, were revived.

Zhu Qiwu marveled, “Your spell is truly miraculous. What kind of law is it based on?”

Lin Moyu smiled, “I told you, I don’t know either.”

Zhu Qiwu asked, “Why did you resurrect them?”

Zhu Qiwu knew that Lin Moyu’s spell could temporarily resurrect people, but it was only temporary; eventually, they would die again.

Given this, what was the point of resurrecting them?

Lin Moyu didn’t explain the matter of karma but instead gave another reason, “Although they were possessed by the Soul Devouring Clan, their bodies are still human. By resurrecting them, I am allowing them to return home and resolve their karma.”

Zhu Qiwu seemed to understand Lin Moyu’s intention, his expression turning a bit strange, “You’ve always been ruthless. When did you become so soft-hearted?”

Lin Moyu sighed, “Ruthlessness is for enemies. For my own people, I am not like that.”

Lin Moyu naturally wouldn’t say that it was because these people died because of him, entangling him in karma.

From past experiences, he knew that too much karma was not beneficial to him.

If they were enemies, he would kill them all, regardless of the karma. Lin Moyu could bear it all.

But otherwise, he would avoid entangling himself in karma as much as possible, especially karma that couldn’t be resolved by force.

The resurrected female Divine Kings looked bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

Clearly, they had died the day they were possessed by the Soul Devouring Clan.

They had no idea what had happened after being possessed.

Moreover, before they were possessed, their cultivation levels were low, and their understanding was insufficient to comprehend what was happening now.

They only knew that Lin Moyu was their master and were extremely respectful to him.

If Lin Moyu hadn’t stopped them, they would have knelt down in unison.

Lin Moyu handed them over to Zhu Qiwu, asking him to take them home and providing a suitable explanation.

To Zhu Qiwu, this seemed completely unnecessary.

However, Lin Moyu knew that after their resurrection, the karma between him and them seemed to be completely severed.

“Is it because of the change in identity, or because they will eventually die, leaving no trace behind?”

“Or is it because by resurrecting them, I have resolved our karma?”

The matter of karma is too complex, far surpassing the laws of time and space.

Lin Moyu could only see the surface, sensing a bit but unable to truly understand.

Lin Moyu said to Little Mist, “Come with me.”

Little Mist nodded happily and followed Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu took Little Mist to the central temple, where the three Saint Sovereigns were chatting.

It was clear that they were in a very good mood.

The Symbol Saint Sovereign was talking about recent events in the Great World and the movements of various races.

Lin Moyu entered the hall with Little Mist, “Seniors, is there good news?”

Saint Sovereign Hao saw Lin Moyu and smiled, “Lin Xiaoyou, you’re out of seclusion. How did it go? Any gains?”

Lin Moyu glanced at Little Mist hiding behind him, “Indeed, there were significant gains.”

Saint Sovereign Hao raised an eyebrow, “Really? What gains? Share with us old folks to make us happy.”

Lin Moyu waved his hand, and six soul crystals flew over, two landing in the hands of each Saint Sovereign.

Saint Sovereign Hao looked at the soul crystals and frowned, “There seems to be the aura of the Soul Devouring Clan.”

Lin Moyu nodded, “These are soul crystals I refined from the Soul Devouring Clan.”

Heavenly Sovereign Tian immediately asked, “What are their specific uses?”

They all knew that Lin Moyu had requested eleven female Divine Kings who had been possessed by the Soul Devouring Clan, resulting in these six soul crystals. They must have significant uses.

Lin Moyu explained, “These crystals contain the possession talent of the Soul Devouring Clan. They can be used to initiate a possession, not only occupying the target’s body but also gaining some of the target’s spells and talents.”

The three Saint Sovereigns were shocked. They hadn’t expected Lin Moyu to present them with such a great gift.

Their minds raced, thinking of various uses for the soul crystals.

Gaining the spells and talents of enemy races was a minor benefit.

More importantly, they could use these crystals to possess high-ranking members of enemy races, infiltrating them.

With the soul crystals, they could perform all sorts of strategic maneuvers.

Lin Moyu added, “I used some tricks to barely obtain seven soul crystals this time. It will be difficult to get more in the future, so please use them sparingly.”

In fact, Lin Moyu didn’t want to bear more karma.

Refining the souls of the Soul Devouring Clan accumulates karma, which is not beneficial to him.

Moreover, he found such tricks somewhat beneath him.

Saint Sovereign Hao asked, “Did you use one on this young lady?”

Lin Moyu nodded, “You know, I brought an artifact spirit named Little Mist from the Cloud Mist Sect’s inheritance. I promised the Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign to create a body for Little Mist, allowing her to live like a real being.”

“But I thought, creating a body would still make her more like a puppet than a living being. So I wondered if I could make her possess a body like the Soul Devouring Clan.”

“I originally intended to try it out, but it worked, which was an unexpected gain.”

Lin Moyu pulled Little Mist from behind him, introducing her to the Saint Sovereigns.

Little Mist, who was used to seeing great figures, was initially a bit uncomfortable but quickly adapted.

After all, she had seen Heavenly Sovereigns and Supremes regularly; Saint Sovereigns were not a big deal.

Lin Moyu said, “Now there’s a problem. Little Mist’s body belongs to the Mo family in the primary region of the divine city. Although she has completed the possession, the karma remains.”

“I hope, Senior, that you can take Little Mist back to the Mo family to resolve the karma.”

Lin Moyu didn’t trust anyone else with this task.

Although he had a good reputation, he was still just a Divine Sovereign.

The Mo family also had Divine Sovereigns, and if they didn’t show respect, he couldn’t force them.

So he thought it best to ask a Saint Sovereign to handle it.

Saint Sovereign Hao readily agreed, “Leave it to me.”

Lin Moyu immediately expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, Senior. With you handling it, there should be no problems.”

Saint Sovereign Hao said, “I’ll take care of it, but there’s something else you need to see first.”

He took out the box containing the Rule Divine Stone.

The box had been opened and never closed again.

Inside, the Rule Divine Stone shimmered with a beautiful, almost ethereal light.

Little Mist instinctively exclaimed, “It’s the Rule Divine Stone!”

Lin Moyu wasn’t surprised by Little Mist’s reaction.

After all, she had seen many treasures, especially those from ancient times.

Heavenly Sovereign Tian and Symbol Saint Sovereign, who knew Little Mist’s background, were not surprised either, but Saint Sovereign Hao and Symbol Saint Sovereign were quite astonished.

Lin Moyu asked, “Little Mist, what is the Rule Divine Stone?”

Little Mist quickly explained, and Lin Moyu was shocked.

He hadn’t expected it to be a material for constructing the divine path, truly precious and rare.

Heavenly Sovereign Tian pushed the box towards Lin Moyu, “We can’t touch this thing. You give it a try.”

Lin Moyu hesitated for a moment, then reached out to grab the Rule Divine Stone.

Little Mist suddenly screamed, “No!”
