**Chapter 1179: The Mysterious Person in the Black Hole**

Zhu Qiwu, dressed in a black robe, suddenly appeared beside Lin Moyu, startling Qian Huang, who was speaking enthusiastically. Upon seeing Zhu Qiwu, Qian Huang instinctively shivered, feeling an overwhelming sense of fear. He could sense Zhu Qiwu's immense power, a level so high that even the elders in his family couldn't compare.

Lin Moyu greeted Zhu Qiwu respectfully, "Why have you come?"

Zhu Qiwu's voice was deep and extremely serious, "I have some questions for you." He then glanced at Qian Huang, "You may leave."

His voice carried an air of authority, like a king whose words were absolute, leaving no room for refusal. Qian Huang dared not refuse. He could tell that if Zhu Qiwu wanted to kill him, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger; a mere breath would suffice. However, he hesitated, wondering if leaving would seem disloyal.

Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "Senior Brother Qian, you should go. I have some matters to discuss with Senior Zhu. We will meet again if fate allows." Qian Huang nodded, "Take care, Junior Brother Lin. We will meet again if fate allows."

He turned and flew away, getting further and further until Lin Moyu was out of sight. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he shivered, "His surname is Zhu, and he's so terrifying. Could he be the Guardian?"

"Unbelievable, Junior Brother Lin actually knows the Guardian. That's terrifying."

"I've heard that the Guardian never speaks to anyone, yet he sought out Junior Brother Lin. Junior Brother Lin is truly extraordinary." Qian Huang suppressed his inner shock and flew towards the forward base.

Lin Moyu looked at Zhu Qiwu, "What do you need from me, Senior?"

Zhu Qiwu took out a formation disk, activated it in the starry sky, and it transformed into a sizable teleportation array. Zhu Qiwu stepped into the teleportation array and said solemnly, "Come in."

Zhu Qiwu's expression was serious, indicating that this was indeed important. Lin Moyu didn't waste words and swiftly entered the teleportation array. The array activated, taking them to an unknown part of the starry sky.

The teleportation distance was quite far, taking a considerable amount of time. When Lin Moyu's vision cleared, he found himself in complete darkness, unable to see anything. With his eyesight, he shouldn't be unable to see in the dark, but here, he couldn't see a thing.

He could sense Zhu Qiwu beside him but couldn't see him. It was beyond the description of "pitch black"; it felt as if all light had vanished. Suppressing a slight discomfort, Lin Moyu asked, "Senior, where are we?"

Zhu Qiwu replied, "Feel it."

Lin Moyu tried to sense his surroundings but found nothing. However, he did feel an invisible force enveloping him. Beyond this force, he sensed danger.

Zhu Qiwu said, "Someone wants to see you and will ask you some questions. Just answer truthfully. Also, remember to forget everything that happens today and don't mention it to anyone."

He trusted that Lin Moyu understood his words without needing further explanation. Lin Moyu nodded to show his understanding.

It seemed that the person he was about to meet was someone of great importance, likely with a higher status than Zhu Qiwu. Such a person, Lin Moyu didn't need to guess, must be from the Divine City.

Zhu Qiwu was already at the pinnacle of the Vermilion Bird Star Region. Anyone more powerful than him could only be from the Divine City. Moreover, their status in the Divine City wouldn't be low. No, it should be very high. They were the true high-ranking members of the human race.

Lin Moyu had met people from the Divine City before, like Xu Jianxing and Qing Jian Daoist. They were clearly not as powerful as Zhu Qiwu. Lin Moyu didn't think much about it; he was just curious about his current environment. He couldn't see, all light had disappeared, and it was extremely dangerous...

Considering these points, Lin Moyu suddenly thought of a possibility. He asked softly, "Senior, are we in a black hole?"

"Smart kid!" A crisp, cheerful voice rang out, and light suddenly appeared in the darkness. A figure appeared before Lin Moyu, a middle-aged man in a green robe, dressed in traditional human attire. His appearance was ordinary, with a gentle smile, looking like a kind person. But Lin Moyu knew this person was extremely terrifying. In a black hole, he could make himself glow and illuminate the surroundings. Such a person was truly frightening.

Lin Moyu respectfully greeted him, "Lin Moyu greets Senior."

The man waved his hand, his smile warm, and his voice gentle, "No need to be nervous. Just tell me what you saw and obtained in the manor."

What you saw and obtained...

If it were ordinary things, Zhu Qiwu would have already reported them. Since he was asking, the answers must not be ordinary. Moreover, this person likely knew something about the manor, perhaps even the reason for its appearance.

The high-ranking members of the human race had access to far more information than ordinary people. Lin Moyu's thoughts raced, and he quickly understood the situation. Clearly, the answers he sought were deeper.

Lin Moyu took out the box he had obtained, "I got this."

The middle-aged man smiled as he took the box, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, "As expected, it's a Time Stone."

A Time Stone?

Lin Moyu had never heard of such a thing. But anything related to time must be a high-end material.

The middle-aged man kindly explained, "A Time Stone is a material containing the laws of time, one of the top-tier materials."

"Items made from it can exhibit some time-related properties."

"For example, stopping time."

The man's voice was gentle and slow, like a mountain stream, calming those who listened.

Lin Moyu finally understood why the words on the beast skin manual remained fresh despite the passage of time. It was all thanks to the Time Stone, which halted the flow of time.

The middle-aged man opened the box and took out the beast skin. Lin Moyu had placed the beast skin he found on the human corpses and in the study, along with the beast skin manual, inside the box. He hadn't included the Coffin of Slumber and the beast skin will. The person in the Coffin of Slumber was suspected to be the Skeleton King. Especially after obtaining the Skeleton Throne, Lin Moyu felt a connection and didn't hand it over.

The middle-aged man examined the beast skin and said, "Indeed, it's the skin of a Primordial Beast, written in ancient script."

He glanced at Lin Moyu, "Did you read the contents?"

Lin Moyu admitted openly, "Yes, I did."

The man nodded and began reading the beast skin. After reading, he muttered to himself, "The information has increased a bit. Young man, what do you think is written here?"

Lin Moyu shook his head, "I'm not entirely sure. It seems to be a record of the battle back then."

"One piece of beast skin was found on the way, likely written by the attackers."

"The other piece was found in a study, probably written by the castle's owner. The handwriting is messy, suggesting it was written in haste during the battle."

"As for the manual, I couldn't understand it. The dates and place names were unfamiliar to me."
