Chapter 2075: Understanding the Differences in Runes

Lin Moyu recalled something the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord had once told him: “You were born for runes.”

At that time, Lin Moyu didn’t feel much, but now he thought the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord was right.

He didn’t know how long it took the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord to learn to split runes and then use the split runes to form complex rune formations.

But he felt that the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord wouldn’t have been faster than him.

Finally, the last rune was split. A rune was split into three parts, seemingly disassembled, but it still retained its original function.

Lin Moyu used his soul power to maintain the rune.

Then, with a light touch of his finger, he pushed the split runes into a rune formation.

The three split rune fragments entered different areas of the rune formation.

The soul link remained unbroken; not only was it unbroken, but the rune formation also combined together.

The rune formation was originally composed of split runes, all interconnected by soul power.

When the last rune entered, the rune formation instantly became complete.

Not only could the split runes combine to form new runes, but the intertwining of soul power also greatly enhanced this connection.

In an instant, the rune formation became ever-changing.

The rune formation activated, accompanied by a strong rumbling sound, and suddenly shrank. All the split runes combined together, forming a three-dimensional complex rune.

Lin Moyu reached out and absorbed the rune into his palm, carefully observing it.

The three-dimensional rune should belong to the category of ancient runes, but it was a rune formation, not an ancient rune.

Lin Moyu naturally understood that not only ancient runes could be three-dimensional; some complex runes could also be three-dimensional.

For example, runes related to the laws of time and space were basically all three-dimensional runes.

At the same time, some rune formations could also be three-dimensional.

The rune formation in his palm was like this, with a hint of ancient rune aura.

The function of this rune formation was containment, with an internal space of its own, named the Containment Rune Formation.

Used on enemies, it could trap them.

Used on oneself, it could provide shelter.

Used on objects, it could store them.

The internal space of the Containment Rune Formation was extremely large; Lin Moyu felt it could hold an entire galaxy.

Moreover, once activated, this rune formation could hide itself, making it very secretive and hard to detect.

Previously, the second wisp of the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord’s soul was hidden using a similar rune formation, though the Heavenly Lord’s method was far more advanced.

The Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord had thought of everything.

Lin Moyu looked at the rune formation, his eyes growing brighter.

“So that’s how it is, I understand now!”

He suddenly realized why the ancient runes of the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord could still exist independently even when shattered into pieces, sometimes evolving into secret realms.

But the ancient runes mastered by the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord did not have this ability; once scattered, they were gone.

Previously, he always thought it was because the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord’s realm was higher, hence the difference.

Now he finally understood that the root cause was not the difference in realms.

The root cause lay in the different methods of drawing ancient runes.

The Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord applied the method of splitting runes within the ancient runes. What seemed like a complete ancient rune was actually composed of countless split runes.

These split runes could combine to form ancient runes and rune formations, or they could exist independently.

Moreover, the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord split the runes very finely; a single ancient rune could be split into thousands or tens of thousands of fragments.

Each seemingly scattered fragment could exist independently, which is why the ancient runes could collapse without being annihilated.

“The Heavenly Lord is indeed a Heavenly Lord, far beyond my current reach!”

Though he understood, Lin Moyu knew he didn’t yet have the ability to do these things.

However, after mastering the method of splitting runes, he gained a deeper understanding of the rune formations left on the ancient battlefield.

Lin Moyu’s mind returned, and he woke up.

The rune formation in his palm was still glowing. Lin Moyu took out the inheritance pearl given by the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord and placed it into the rune formation.

The pearl immediately emitted a strong light, and a rune on the pearl lit up, resonating with Lin Moyu’s rune formation.

Lin Moyu knew this was a method left by the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord, only activatable with this rune formation.

The inheritance pearl was fully activated, and a piece of information entered Lin Moyu’s mind.

Then the inheritance pearl turned to powder and completely dissipated.

Lin Moyu looked at the information content, showing a strange expression, “This inheritance is in the outer region?”

Lin Moyu had thought the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord had placed all his inheritances in the Divine City star region, as the ancient warriors had fallen there.

The many secret realms in the Divine City star region were all transformed from the ancient runes of the ancient warriors, making it the most suitable place for the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord to set up.

Unexpectedly, the Holy Talisman Heavenly Lord had placed an inheritance in the outer region.

“The Heavenly Lord’s thoughts are hard to guess!”

“Then I’ll make a trip. Fortunately, it’s not too far. But before I go, I’ll visit the ancient battlefield!”

Lin Moyu had a plan. He wanted to revisit the ancient battlefield to examine the remaining rune formations.

With his current understanding of runes, he might be able to discover more clues.

Lin Moyu had never forgotten the ancient battlefield, where there was a suspected Divine Summer Tower, which was related to Meng Anwen.

Lin Moyu wanted to know what was going on.

He couldn’t return to the small world, and Antares hadn’t come out yet.

The whole matter was like a huge mystery, always shrouding him, making it hard to see clearly.

Lin Moyu checked the star map and found he was still drifting in the outer region of the Divine City, about 2000 light-years from the nearest ancient battlefield.

Traveling through deep space, it wouldn’t take half a day to get there.

Suddenly, a light fell on the warship, and Lin Moyu heard the voice of the Human Emperor Network.

[Have you finished your cultivation?]

Lin Moyu was stunned for a moment. The Human Emperor Network had actually interfered with reality.

The Human Emperor Network rarely directly communicated with people, usually just sending messages.

Now it was directly interfering with reality to talk to him, clearly indicating something important.

Previously, while he was cultivating, the Human Emperor Network hadn’t disturbed him.

Now that he had finished cultivating, the Human Emperor Network had come.

Lin Moyu responded, “Temporarily finished. What’s the matter?”

[The Hao Saint Sovereign has something to discuss with you. Please enter the Human Emperor Network.]

Lin Moyu immediately entered the Human Emperor Network. In the network, his consciousness appeared in a virtual starry sky.

A great battle was taking place in the starry sky, with the human army fighting against enemies.

“What is this?”

Lin Moyu immediately saw that the enemies fighting the human race were demons.

There couldn’t be a war in the Human Emperor Network, so this scene must have been transmitted from reality.

In reality, the human race was fighting the demons?

At this moment, the figure of the Hao Saint Sovereign appeared before Lin Moyu, looking slightly serious, “I have something to tell you. The various races have formed an alliance and declared war on the human race.”

Lin Moyu’s eyes flickered, “As expected, striking first is the right choice.”

The Hao Saint Sovereign looked at Lin Moyu, “You anticipated this?”

Lin Moyu nodded, “It was bound to happen. As long as we don’t stop seeking revenge, they will eventually declare war on us.”

“I estimated that after we exterminated three to five small races, they would form an alliance and declare war on us.”

“Now that we’ve exterminated the Copper Lizard race and likely the Pegasus race, it’s normal for them to declare war on us.”

The Human Emperor Network’s voice suddenly sounded, “He is correct. Based on calculations, the probability of the various races forming an alliance and declaring war on us exceeds eighty percent.”

The Hao Saint Sovereign looked at Lin Moyu, “Explain your thoughts in detail!”
