Catastrophic necromancer

**Chapter 2469: You Are Very Smart, and Your Luck is Strong**

Everyone who participated in the Realm Sea Token event seemed satisfied. Although there were casualties, the number was not high, and no one paid much attention to the deceased. On the Origin Continent and in the Realm Sea World, countless people die every day. Most of those who become Celestial Sovereigns have fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood and are accustomed to such things. Especially in the Realm Sea World Competition, the number of dead beings is countless. If such things could affect their Dao hearts, they would not be qualified to become Celestial Sovereigns.

Lu Fengyao sighed in relief, “Finally, we’re going back.”

She was also very happy. After returning, she planned to use the World Gems to elevate her world to the seventh level, then harvest the seventh-level world origin. After some more preparation, she could use the seventh-level world origin to advance to Dao Sovereign.

At this moment, Lin Moyu was not as optimistic as others. The chill in his soul had not dissipated, and the methods of the King of the Realm Sea made him feel uneasy. Until he truly left, Lin Moyu’s heart could not be at peace. However, on the surface, Lin Moyu appeared nonchalant, as if nothing had happened. He even seemed a bit excited like the others.

Lin Moyu suddenly asked, “Sister Fengyao, what do you plan to do with the beings in your Realm Sea World after it reaches the seventh level?”

Lu Fengyao chuckled, “There are no beings in my world!”

Lin Moyu was taken aback, “No beings?”

Lu Fengyao explained, “I considered this issue from the beginning. The beings inside are hard to manage, so I chose another method. There are no beings inside.”

“I placed many puppets inside. When it’s time to fight, I let the puppets do it.”

“And my puppets are made using technological artifacts. They can be mass-produced. When it’s time to fight, I just send them in.”

Using technological artifacts to create puppets to replace living beings meant there was no issue of managing beings after the Realm Sea World reached the seventh level. Most high-level Celestial Sovereigns usually harvest origins and perform world-destroying actions. Lu Fengyao clearly didn’t want to do that, so she chose another path.

Lu Fengyao transmitted her voice, “Actually, performing world-destroying actions isn’t a good thing. Sometimes it involves karmic entanglements.”

“Too much karma can bring unexpected troubles and weaken one’s luck.”

“For future considerations, it’s better not to perform world-destroying actions.”

Lin Moyu knew that Lu Fengyao was saying this for his benefit. He nodded, “I understand. I’ll be careful and see if there’s another way.”

Lu Fengyao acknowledged, “Of course, if you must perform world-destroying actions, do it cleanly and cut off all karma as much as possible.”

Lin Moyu nodded to show he understood and then asked, “Are technological artifacts common on the Origin Continent?”

Lu Fengyao replied, “Not too many. They are created by cultivators who believe in technology. They are indeed quite magical.”

Lin Moyu curiously asked, “Can you tell me more?”

Lu Fengyao shook her head, “It’s too complex. You have to go to the Origin Continent and learn for yourself to understand.”

“If you want to know, you can come to the Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce and buy some related information.”

“But let me warn you, it’s not cheap. Even as a high-level member, you only get a 20% discount. Be prepared with enough money.”

Lin Moyu nodded, “I’ll prepare the money.”

By money, he meant origin crystals. Lu Fengyao, at her core, was a businesswoman. Being fair and just in business didn’t conflict with being loyal and righteous.

After a while, the square finally stopped rising. Lin Moyu could feel that they had returned to their previous position, not far from the surface of the Realm Sea.

The phantom of the King of the Realm Sea reappeared, “Everyone, use the Realm Sea Token to return to your world.”

His words were like a command. Beams of light descended from the sky, enveloping everyone. The Realm Sea Token was automatically activated, forming a light sphere around each person.

The Realm Sea Token brought them here, and now it would take them back. Lu Fengyao stood in the light, smiling brightly at Lin Moyu, “Remember to come find me. Auntie will take care of you!”

Lin Moyu waved back, “Wishing Sister Fengyao a smooth advancement to Dao Sovereign in advance!”

As his words fell, Lu Fengyao disappeared. The beams of light quickly carried everyone away, returning them to their Realm Sea Worlds. However, Lin Moyu’s expression grew serious because he hadn’t left. Although he was enveloped in light like the others, the Realm Sea Token hadn’t taken him away.

Lin Moyu had a bad feeling, “Could it be that my storage space has aroused the King of the Realm Sea’s curiosity?”

“Or does he know that I discovered what he did?”

As he speculated wildly, the phantom of the King of the Realm Sea reappeared in the sky. Two beams of light, like eyes, fell on Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu felt a heavy pressure, the gaze of a Dao Sovereign weighing on him. “You are quite special!”

A deep, heavy voice sounded in Lin Moyu’s ears. His soul trembled, but he forced himself to remain calm, “You kept me here. Do you have any instructions?”

The King of the Realm Sea spoke softly, “Don’t be afraid. I’m not here to settle scores, even if you discovered my secret.”

Lin Moyu smiled bitterly. Despite his caution, he couldn’t hide from a Dao Sovereign. However, he didn’t sense any killing intent from the King of the Realm Sea, indicating there was room for negotiation.

Lin Moyu tried to remain calm and humble, “What do you want me to do? Should I swear another soul oath?”

The King of the Realm Sea seemed to be scrutinizing Lin Moyu, his gaze penetrating. Lin Moyu felt as if he were being seen through. Fortunately, the scrutiny stopped without further action. “You are very smart. Among the people I’ve met, there are few like you.”

“Smart people often live longer, and they tend to have better luck.”

Lin Moyu humbly replied, “You flatter me. In my world, there’s a saying: ’A lifetime of wisdom can be undone by a moment of folly.’ Sometimes, being too smart isn’t a good thing; it can lead to disaster.”

The King of the Realm Sea chuckled, “Not for you. I haven’t finished. Your luck is also very strong, among the strongest I’ve seen.”

“Though you are only a Supreme, your luck rivals that of some Dao Sovereigns.”

“This suggests that you are highly likely to become a Dao Sovereign in the future, and not an ordinary one.”

The King of the Realm Sea’s words seemed to explain why he wouldn’t kill Lin Moyu. It was because Lin Moyu was both smart and had strong luck. Lin Moyu understood the underlying message: the King had something he wanted Lin Moyu to do.

Lin Moyu smiled, “If you have something to say, just say it. I will do my best.”

The King of the Realm Sea said, “You don’t have the ability now. You need to become a Dao Sovereign first. I just need a promise from you. When you become a Dao Sovereign, don’t refuse when I come to you.”

“Of course, I won’t send you to your death. I will give you a reward that will make all Dao Sovereigns envious.”

Lin Moyu thought to himself, “He’s already making promises.”

He knew that whatever the King of the Realm Sea wanted him to do wouldn’t be simple. But for now, he had no right to refuse.

Outwardly, he showed interest, “A reward that will make all Dao Sovereigns envious? Are you sure it’s not dangerous?”

He looked tempted but also appropriately hesitant. At this moment, Lin Moyu’s years of acting skills were put to the test.
