 **Chapter 1994: I Give You a Promise**

Once a battleship has the ability to navigate deep space, traditional teleportation arrays become almost obsolete.

Teleportation arrays are not instantaneous; they also require time for travel, and with multiple transfers, they are not faster than deep space navigation.

"The Starry Sky Fishmen have indeed reached an extremely high level in their utilization of space laws."

The Starry Sky Fishmen have been tirelessly exploring space laws from ancient times to the present, and their achievements in this area are far beyond what Lin Moyu can compare to.

After learning that the Starry Sky Celestial Spirits were created by a Heavenly Sovereign, Lin Moyu had already guessed that the Starry Sky Fishmen were also likely created by a Heavenly Sovereign.

Later, from Little Mist, he learned that there was indeed a Space Heavenly Sovereign in ancient times.

At that time, Lin Moyu speculated that the Starry Sky Fishmen were created by the Space Heavenly Sovereign.

They should have inherited part of the Space Heavenly Sovereign's legacy, so their bloodline naturally carried space-related talents.

The Starry Sky Celestial Spirits originated from the Soul Heavenly Sovereign.

The Starry Sky Fishmen originated from the Space Heavenly Sovereign.

The Starry Sky Demon Gods, who have never appeared, are unknown to which ancient Heavenly Sovereign they belong.

The Demon Gods are skilled in physical strength, so they should have been created by a Heavenly Sovereign who was also skilled in physical strength.

Whenever he thought of this, Lin Moyu couldn't help but marvel at how powerful the Heavenly Sovereigns of ancient times were, capable of creating entire races.

How powerful must the Great World have been at that time?

Unfortunately, they were still defeated.

"Maybe they weren't defeated. The true outcome depends on the situation in the Black Blood Great World."

"If one day I become a Heavenly Sovereign, I will go to the Black Blood Great World to see how strong their experts are."

Lin Moyu became curious about the Black Blood Great World. If given the chance, he would definitely go there, of course, with his billions of undead army.

The battleship navigated through deep space, traveling over ten thousand light-years, and arrived at Port Star.

It took only a day, faster than using a teleportation array and saving the cost of teleportation.

At this moment, Port Star was in a closed state, with only staff present and no one else.

Lin Moyu took out the shell and transmitted to Yu Qingrou, "I'm here. Where are you?"

Soon, Yu Qingrou's voice came from the shell, "I see you. I'm coming to you. Open the battleship door."

Lin Moyu looked around but did not see Yu Qingrou.

A few seconds later, the space outside the battleship door twisted, and Yu Qingrou's graceful figure appeared.

She was wearing light armor, looking heroic and extraordinary.

However, her expression was not good, as if something had happened.

After entering the battleship, Lin Moyu immediately closed the door, "What happened?"

If nothing was wrong, Yu Qingrou wouldn't have come; there must be something.

Yu Qingrou said, "Someone wants to kill you."

Lin Moyu's expression remained unchanged, "Is it your clan leader?"

Yu Qingrou was taken aback, "How did you know?"

Lin Moyu smiled calmly, "It wasn't hard to guess. I noticed someone spying on me in the Law Star River. There are only a few people who can enter the Space Law Star River to spy on me."

"Moreover, you rarely go out, and your race doesn't have a comprehensive intelligence system. The information you can know is naturally limited."

"Given this, it's not hard to guess that the one who wants to kill me is either one of your elders or your clan leader."

Yu Qingrou's eyes flickered as she stared at Lin Moyu, "You're really smart. Do you know how they plan to kill you?"

Lin Moyu looked relaxed and smiled, "I'm not omniscient. How could I guess that?"

Yu Qingrou rolled her eyes at him, "I thought you were really omniscient."

"Although I'm not omniscient, I can still make some guesses. Your Starry Sky Fishmen and our human race currently have a relatively good relationship, considered allies."

"So you can't openly come to kill me. To kill me, you must use some covert means."

"Ordinary methods would be detected by the human race, so you must have thought of some undetectable methods."

"Your race has been passed down from ancient times, so you probably have one or two treasured artifacts. For example, those that can kill people across distances, ignoring space."

"Or those special law artifacts, like those related to the laws of karma or fate."

The more Yu Qingrou listened, the more surprised she became. She knew Lin Moyu was smart, but she didn't expect him to guess even this.

Seeing Yu Qingrou's expression, Lin Moyu continued, "It seems I guessed right. It should be some ancient artifact."

"I guess using this artifact requires a certain cost and conditions. It's not something that can be used at will."

"And the cost is not small. Otherwise, they would have acted long ago."

"Am I right?"

Yu Qingrou sighed, "You're very smart. You guessed most of it, but I don't know exactly what the artifact is. I only know it's very powerful and is controlled by the clan leader and two grand elders."

"As long as the target is not a peak Divine Sovereign, they will be killed by this artifact without exception."

Lin Moyu said lightly, "Without exception? That's not necessarily true."

Killing others might be without exception, but killing him wouldn't be so easy.

Considering his talents and the substitute death doll, it would take at least four attempts to kill him.

Moreover, Lin Moyu was confident in his own strength. It wasn't easy to kill him, even for someone at the Other Shore realm, let alone relying on an artifact.

However, Lin Moyu wouldn't be careless. If there wasn't real danger, Yu Qingrou wouldn't have come to warn him.

Lin Moyu felt a bit touched, "By coming here, aren't you betraying your race?"

Yu Qingrou shook her head, "Of course not. My loyalty to my race has never changed. I just think the clan leader is too arbitrary."

"Why does someone mastering the space law pose a threat to us?"

"You're my friend. I don't want you to be killed."

"Moreover, I believe that even if you live, you won't pose a threat to us."

Lin Moyu thought for a moment and suddenly realized a possibility: the luck of the race.

Races have luck. The stronger the luck, the more prosperous the race, and the better the luck of its members.

For the Starry Sky Fishmen, the space law is the most precious thing in their race, part of their luck.

If others also master the space law, it means their race's luck is starting to drain.

So such people must be killed.

Lin Moyu understood these reasons, but as the clan leader of the Starry Sky Fishmen, he might not.

Perhaps he was just following the clan's rules in making this decision.

Looking at Yu Qingrou's beautiful face, Lin Moyu felt genuinely touched. It was clear that he held a significant place in Yu Qingrou's heart.

"I give you a promise: as long as your race does not harm the human race, I will not turn my blade against you."

Lin Moyu made a promise, and at the moment of making it, he felt a thread of karma form between him and Yu Qingrou.

A line of karma appeared, faintly visible.

Karma lines are not easy to see. Lin Moyu had only seen them once before, with the Karma Gourd.

That was because a powerful being had turned the law of karma into an artifact, making the karma lines visible.

He didn't expect that a simple promise would also reveal a karma line, indicating that this promise was significant and the karma between him and Yu Qingrou was deep.

Lin Moyu had no regrets. For a friend, bearing some karma was not a big deal.

Moreover, karma is not necessarily a bad thing. Blessings and misfortunes are intertwined, and who can say for sure?
