Chapter 2118: You Are the Only Variable

Lin Moyu bowed to the two of them, “Greetings, Elder Star and Human Emperor!”

Elder Star was somewhat surprised, “How did you know he was the Human Emperor?”

Lin Moyu said, “His hand!”

His hand?

Elder Star looked at the Human Emperor in confusion, but couldn’t see anything special about the Human Emperor’s hand.

Just because he couldn’t see it, doesn’t mean Lin Moyu couldn’t.

Earlier when the Human Emperor slapped Hao Saint Lord, the hand that appeared was identical to the hand of the person before him now.

Therefore, Lin Moyu was 90% certain that this person was the Human Emperor.

The Human Emperor’s voice sounded, “Your powers of observation are surprising!”

Lin Moyu said, “The Human Emperor flatters me.”

The Human Emperor’s tone was calm, “I never exaggerate. It truly is surprising, surpassing everyone in the human race, including him.”

The “him” the Human Emperor referred to was Elder Star.

Elder Star wasn’t upset, and chuckled, “This old man’s eyes aren’t what they used to be, it’s normal I can’t see clearly.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Moyu, “Young Lin, do you know why we’ve come to find you?”

Lin Moyu smiled and said, “I’m not omniscient, how would I know?”

Elder Star didn’t seem to be in any hurry, “Why don’t you guess?”

The Human Emperor interrupted Elder Star’s words, “Stop wasting time, let’s get to the point.”

Elder Star sighed, “You’re just no fun.”

“Well then, let’s get to the point. Earlier when you were talking to Little Hao and Little Tian, we were listening too.”

“We feel you must have hidden some things, and the Human Emperor Network sensed the aura of a Boundary Sea shell on you.”

So it was about this. Lin Moyu couldn’t help but smile, “I was originally planning to come find you after some time, I didn’t expect you to come to me first.”

As he spoke, Lin Moyu took out the Boundary Sea shell, “I accidentally obtained a Boundary Sea shell and saw some things.”

The Human Emperor stared at the Boundary Sea shell, his gaze changing slightly, “Did you see the Boundary Sea?”

Lin Moyu nodded, “I did.”

Elder Star took a sharp breath, “Such luck, tsk tsk… Even in ancient times, those who could obtain a Boundary Sea shell were extremely rare.”

“How was it? What did the Boundary Sea look like?”

Lin Moyu shook his head, “Not good. The Heavenly Saint Lord wasn’t wrong in his spirit journey – we really are about to collide with another world.”

Elder Star’s expression became serious, “How much time do we have left?”

“1400 years.”

This number greatly exceeded Elder Star’s expectations.

Elder Star frowned, “It’s faster than I thought. I originally estimated we had about 10,000 years.”

10,000 years versus 1400 years – a sevenfold difference. The accuracy of this estimate was far too low.

Elder Star looked at the Human Emperor, “Have Little Tian prepare for another spirit journey as soon as possible, to see if we can encounter that world again.” “Tell him to remember the feeling from last time. If he enters that world, look carefully and gather as much information as possible.”

The Human Emperor closed his eyes, clearly sending out a message.

A few seconds later, the Human Emperor said, “I’ve notified him. The Heavenly Saint Lord says he needs a few more days to prepare, since it hasn’t been long since his last spirit journey, and some materials still need to be gathered.”

Elder Star said, “Whatever materials he needs, tell him to take them from the treasury.”

“He knows. Don’t worry, we won’t interfere.”

Elder Star turned his attention back to Lin Moyu, “Young man, what do you think we should do? In 1400 years, do we have a chance?”

Lin Moyu said, “We have a chance, and this matter may be a blessing in disguise for us.”

Elder Star became interested, “Tell me, what are your thoughts?”

Lin Moyu had originally wanted to discuss this matter with Elder Star. Now that Elder Star had come to him, and even brought the Human Emperor along, he might as well share all his ideas.

As the foundation of the human race, Elder Star’s position was different, and what he knew far surpassed the various Saint Lords.

Discussing with him might yield some results.

Lin Moyu explained the Red Star Supreme Being’s Million Star Array plan, and also shared his own method for saving the Great World.

Elder Star listened intently, constantly pondering, “According to what the Red Star Supreme Being said, there are no Heavenly Lords in that world.”

Lin Moyu said, “As long as there are no Heavenly Lords, we have a chance. I have the corpse of the Forest Supreme Being, which should be able to kill Supreme Beings of the same level.”

Elder Star also knew about Lin Moyu’s techniques – corpses were his weapons, and he could use corpses to instantly kill enemies of the same level.

Elder Star murmured, “In that case, it really is an opportunity.”

Lin Moyu said, “But before that, we need to stabilize internally and unbind the Great World. The Great World is too heavily burdened by karma, and the Great World Rune is already overwhelmed.”

The Human Emperor spoke, his tone calm, “Then just kill them all.”

Elder Star said, “Although the Hundred Race Alliance is just a bunch of rabble, when united their power cannot be underestimated.”

The Human Emperor said, “That’s because we don’t want to pay too high a price. After all, we’ve already sacrificed too much in the past. But if we want to resolve this, some sacrifice is inevitable!”

The Human Emperor used the calmest tone to speak the cruelest words. Sacrifice is inevitable – indeed, that was the reality.

In a war between races, how could there be no sacrifice? Someone always has to be on the front lines.

Elder Star didn’t quite agree with the Human Emperor’s words, “Although sacrifice is inevitable, we can still try to control it and minimize casualties as much as possible.”

“We still have time. We don’t need to decide the outcome immediately.”

The Human Emperor said, “It’s only 1400 years. If we want to properly set up the Million Star Array, it will take several hundred years. We have at most 500 years.”

500 years may seem like a long time, but it’s actually very short.

The catastrophe from 100,000 years ago didn’t cause the human race to collapse immediately. It lasted for over 3,000 years.

Now facing the Hundred Race Alliance again, trying to end the war in a few hundred years would be very difficult.

Moreover, what’s needed now isn’t just victory, but to completely exterminate all other races, leaving none alive.

The Human Emperor Network analyzed the power balance between both sides. Whether in terms of number of Saint Lords, Transcendent realm experts, God Lord realm powerhouses, or the strongest foundations of each race, the human race was not at an advantage compared to the Hundred Race Alliance, and was even slightly disadvantaged.

Just based on the surface comparison of forces, ending the war in a few hundred years was almost impossible.

Elder Star said, “Relying on just us naturally won’t work. Forget 500 years, even 5000 years wouldn’t be enough.”

“Our original plan was to use 10,000 years to slowly erode the various races, and finally achieve victory.”

“The entire plan might take tens of thousands of years to complete, but now…”

The Human Emperor looked at Lin Moyu, “Now, you are the only variable.”

If they wanted to resolve the war in a few hundred years, their only hope was Lin Moyu.

Elder Star chuckled, “Do you feel a lot of pressure?”

Lin Moyu looked completely relaxed, seemingly unconcerned, “Pressure creates motivation. 500 years is a bit short, but it’s not impossible.”

Elder Star smiled and said, “Then it all depends on you. Whatever you need, just say the word. As long as we have it, it’s all yours.”

The Human Emperor said, “I’ve given you the highest authority in the Human Emperor Network. All information is open to you. Contact me anytime if you need anything.”

Lin Moyu asked, “How is my sister doing?”

The Human Emperor said, “She’s doing well. She has already reached the peak of the God Lord realm and is likely to enter the Transcendent realm soon. However, she’s currently in seclusion cultivating. I haven’t told her you’re back.”

Lin Moyu said solemnly, “Tell my sister that when advancing to the Transcendent realm, she must not take shortcuts. She has to cross over by herself.”

“Alright!”
