**Chapter 1572: Terrifying Runes, Self-Reflection**
The skeletal god warriors had already gone out to search for the poison bee swarms, while Lin Moyu stood motionless in the sea of flowers. The undead eye in the sky still existed, and the undead flames burned fiercely, rendering the secret realm gray.
Lin Moyu's mind was racing, connecting various causes and effects. He muttered to himself, organizing a highly probable conclusion.
"In ancient times, a terrifying existence beyond the Other Shore realm perished."
"No, that's not right. He perished, but his Dao did not."
"At his level, the Dao he cultivated and the path he walked had permeated every corner of his body."
"That severed finger is the best proof. The flesh is destroyed, but the Dao still exists."
"His Dao formed ancient relics. Countless pieces of flesh scattered in the Divine City star region turned into secret realms."
"Whether it's a secret realm or an ancient relic, it's the Dao left behind by that powerful being."
"Not only the Dao but also memories. The big figures of the Other Shore realm '060' want to study the Dao he left behind to learn about ancient events."
Every bit of information was connected at this moment.
Everything became reasonable.
Lin Moyu realized that he seemed to be doing something similar to the beings of the Other Shore realm.
He wasn't thinking about completing the task but about studying the other party's Dao.
Unknowingly, he had reached such a high level.
His thoughts had already transcended the limitations of an ordinary God King.
Perhaps even God Sovereigns had never thought about studying the Dao of such an existence.
After reaching a conclusion, Lin Moyu realized one thing.
The Dao of this powerful being seemed to be ultimately expressed through runes.
In the great world, runes are the true root, as the great world runes are the foundation of this world.
Everything, big or small, can be described and expressed through runes.
"Elder Xu was right. By thoroughly studying runes, one can control this great world."
Lin Moyu felt a sudden clarity, knowing how to proceed on his path.
While improving his realm, he would study and master runes.
He could even use runes to enhance his spells.
A buzzing sound came to his ears as the skeletal god warriors brought back a large number of poison bees.
One swarm, two swarms, three swarms...
Tens of thousands of poison bees flew in from all directions.
The skeletal god warriors resumed their old job, just like in the dungeons, pulling monsters desperately.
This was just the first wave; more were coming.
The skeletal god warriors ran back and forth, flying and dodging, circling around.
They gathered all the attracted poison bees together.
Lin Moyu's heart moved, and the undead eye in the sky immediately gazed down.
Like the descent of the Grim Reaper, the terrifying power from the world of death turned into an invisible giant hand, wiping out the souls of the poison bees.
Tens of thousands of poison bees turned into corpses, pouring down.
Then they turned into light spots and ascended.
This time, the light spots were so dense that they almost formed a light curtain.
Lin Moyu's eyes shone brightly, and his soul world surged with purple energy as the soul eye fully opened.
His brain also operated at full speed at this moment.
He didn't seek to analyze what these runes were; he knew very well that with his current realm, it was impossible to analyze such high-level runes.
He only sought to remember these rune fragments and then piece them together.
He tried to piece together a complete rune, hoping that in the future, he could understand these runes.
Only by actually doing it did he realize how difficult it was.
When he carefully looked at these runes and tried to remember them, he realized how complex these rune fragments were.
Runes are not just about their shape; they also involve the flow of internal power and deep patterns. That is the core of the rune. It's not just about drawing an identical rune on paper with a pen; that won't make the rune work. Having the shape is useless without the essence.
What Lin Moyu remembered was not the shape of the rune fragments but the essence within them.
As long as the essence was correct, the shape was not difficult.
But this essence was too obscure and difficult, its level too high, beyond Lin Moyu's understanding.
Remembering the runes was exhausting, and soon he felt his brain being drained, his soul power greatly consumed, and even the talent tree couldn't replenish it in time.
After reaching the Other Shore realm, it was the first time he experienced soul depletion.
The light curtain disappeared after a few seconds, along with the rune fragments.
Lin Moyu panted lightly, calming his soul power.
His soul power was rapidly recovering after being overconsumed.
Among the thousands of rune fragments just now, he only remembered less than ten fragments.
Even these ten fragments had pushed him to his limit.
After ten minutes, with the help of the talent tree, his soul power was mostly restored.
Lin Moyu compared the ten fragments he remembered with the soul fire rune arranged by Elder Xu and found them completely incomparable.
They were not on the same level at all.
He could face the soul fire rune directly. Although he didn't understand it, his soul could fully withstand it.
He could accurately grasp the essence contained in the soul fire rune and even gain some insights. But now, although he remembered these fragments, he couldn't understand them at all.
"Just the fragments are so terrifying, fundamentally surpassing the soul fire rune."
"If I could really draw it... how terrifying would that rune be?"
"The rune contains not just laws but rules. Unfortunately, I know nothing about the power of rules."
"In the end, I'm aiming too high. My vision is high, but my realm hasn't kept up."
"Perhaps I can forcibly remember, but understanding it is impossible with my current realm!"
While reflecting, Lin Moyu also engaged in self-reflection.
His vision was indeed high. He had even encountered saints, entered places related to ancient times multiple times, and discovered the existence of other worlds, seeing a broader world.
The elevation of his vision allowed him to stand at a higher point to observe this world.
But at the same time, his actual realm was not high enough.
He stood at a high point, saw the whole world, but couldn't understand its operating rules.
Fortunately, he understood the principle of self-reflection and never did things beyond his capabilities.
Runes still needed to be explored; runes were the truth of this world.
Moreover, the temptation of high-level power and the curiosity about runes drove him to explore them.
He first remembered them, and when his realm improved, he would study them again.
The skeletal god warriors brought back news from afar. They found a cave guarded by a large number of poison bees.
Combining this with the information from Qiu Ji, it was highly likely that the Poison Bee Queen was in the cave. Of course, they might also encounter the Poison Bee King.
The undead eye in the sky slowly disappeared, the undead flames faded, and the scenery in the secret realm became bright again.
A stream of light flew over the sea of flowers, stirring up even more turbulent waves.
Countless petals were lifted into the sky, and colorful petals rained down like raindrops.
Lin Moyu flew out of the sea of flowers, then passed through a grassland, and saw hills in his sight.
The skeletal god warriors had already scouted the way, so he didn't stop and rushed into the hills.
As he rushed into the hills, the sea of flowers behind him suddenly changed.
A large number of flowers withered as if their life force had been drained by some power.
The ground in the sea of flowers slowly bulged, and a giant hand emerged from the ground, covered with rune fragments.
