 Chapter 2087: The Ghost Race Born to Take the Blame

Killing the Cosmic Tree also settled a hundred-year-old grudge.

With the karmic connection severed, Lin Moyu felt a sense of relief.

After cutting off the karmic ties with a being at the Other Shore realm, the change in feeling was quite noticeable.

Lin Moyu knew he carried a lot of karmic burdens, with countless alien races wanting to kill him.

But sooner or later, he would cut them all off.

Settling all karmic debts, traveling light, to see if he could find a way to establish a new divine path.

Lin Moyu once again immersed himself in rune cultivation. The path of runes was too vast and profound; he still had much to learn.

As for realm cultivation, he had already found another method.

Just as he had sought out strange stars before the Divine Venerable realm, now he had other methods for cultivation.

The questions about the Green Crane Tribe's annihilation did not stop after a hundred days, but rather showed a trend of intensifying.

The stranger the incident, the more it worried people.

Many races not much different from the Green Crane Tribe began to fear for themselves.

The several Saint Venerables of the human race were basically certain it was Lin Moyu's doing, but they wouldn't say so.

Not only did they not speak of it, they also spread false information.

The implication was that it might have been the appearance of the Ghost Race from outside the domain that caused this phenomenon.

The Ghost Race was not made up by the human race; many races had records of the Ghost Race.

However, there was very little information about the Ghost Race. The human race's Saint Venerables had to think hard before coming up with the Ghost Race, so they embellished and exaggerated before releasing this information.

In the human race's message, the Ghost Race devoured everything, leaving nothing in their wake.

However, the Ghost Race had always lived outside the domain, rarely coming inside.

The human race's message was half-true and half-false, but the other races had no choice but to believe it.

After all, the human race was the oldest race in this world, possessing the most comprehensive information.

Except for the legendary Dragon Race, probably no other race knew more than the human race.

But the Dragon Race had disappeared for countless years, and only the human race could find them.

Moreover, the Dragon Race never interfered with the operation of this world, did not participate in any racial wars, and never came to the Great World to obtain resources, remaining extremely mysterious.

After the news about the Ghost Race appeared, many races chose to believe it.

The human race's Saint Venerables were already laughing with joy; as long as someone believed it, their goal had been achieved.

Their purpose in releasing the information was to confuse the issue, to prevent people from suspecting Lin Moyu.

Even a little suspicion was not allowed. Saint Venerable Hao guessed that Lin Moyu might do it a second or even a third time.

Finding someone to take the blame in advance would only benefit Lin Moyu, with no downsides.

The Saint Venerables actually knew clearly in their hearts that if there was still hope for the human race, if there was still hope for this world, that hope was very likely to be on the Lin Moyu siblings.

They would not interfere with the growth of the two, but they would do their best to do what they could.

Half a month later, Lin Moyu's warship left deep space.

The outer domain was silent and pitch black, with starlight becoming extremely rare here.

The faint light on the warship became the brightest star.

There were no star maps here; Lin Moyu could only navigate by himself.

"Perhaps, in ancient times, this was also a prosperous star region."

Lin Moyu put away the warship, his gaze sweeping across the empty starry sky, unable to help but sigh.

In ancient times, the human race's world was extremely prosperous and powerful, and their territory far exceeded that of today.

Where Lin Moyu stood now was 100,000 light-years away from the inner domain, extremely desolate.

But in ancient times, this place was very likely to have been extremely prosperous, with countless cultivators.

If he could go back in time, he really wanted to see what kind of grand spectacle the human race had in those days.

Lin Moyu stretched out his hand and drew a rune.

This rune came from the Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable, specifically used for pointing directions, pointing to the direction of this inheritance site.

Only within ten million kilometers of the inheritance site would the rune take effect.

The rune flashed in the starry sky but did not point out a specific direction.

"Still more than ten million kilometers away."

Lin Moyu left behind a skeleton divine general, then chose a direction and teleported away.

After teleporting ten million kilometers, he drew the pointing rune again to check.

Because of deep space navigation, the maximum error could reach one hundred million kilometers, so Lin Moyu could only try bit by bit.

With the skeleton divine general as the center point and a diameter of one hundred million kilometers, he drew a spherical range.

Lin Moyu kept teleporting within this spherical range, constantly drawing runes.

Finally, after a series of searches, the pointing rune finally showed some movement.

The pointing rune transformed into a beam of light, pointing directly to a certain place.

Lin Moyu immediately went there, arriving at the place the pointing rune indicated.

This place was equally empty, seemingly nothing there.

Since the rune pointed here, it couldn't be that there was nothing.

Lin Moyu thought for a moment and knew what the Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable had done.

The Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable had set up a containment array here, leaving the inheritance items in the array.

If one couldn't break through the containment array he had set up, one couldn't obtain the things inside.

It was a small test, not too big or too small.

Lin Moyu was already very familiar with the containment array, so naturally, it couldn't stump him.

The space rule rolled and surged, enveloping the surrounding starry sky.

No matter how well-hidden the containment array was, it always existed within space. As the space rule swept by, it would inevitably reveal some clues.

Sure enough, Lin Moyu sensed the existence of the containment array.

Having found the right location, the next step was easy.

Lin Moyu drew a rune on the spot, and the rune accurately hit the containment array. The originally hidden containment array was immediately revealed.

Then Lin Moyu used his soul power as a key to dismantle the array left by the Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable.

"Fortunately, the array left by the Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable is not high-level. If it were like the ancient box, needing rule power to open, that would be troublesome!"

The containment array was quickly dismantled, and the things inside the internal space were revealed.

Lin Moyu's expression suddenly changed, and he moved his feet to teleport away.

A sword light slashed through the void, shattering the afterimage he left behind.

Lin Moyu appeared a hundred thousand kilometers away, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough just now, he would have been hit.

The sword light continued to dance, drawing out brilliant trailing shadows.

Under the sword light was a box, which was the ancient box Lin Moyu had seen before.

The box was covered with runes, very complex ancient runes that would give one a headache just looking at them.

The sword light danced with flickering shadows, and runes appeared within the shadows. The sword body also flashed with complex runes.

"This is a rune artifact!"

Lin Moyu recognized at a glance that this sword was actually a rune artifact.

Rune masters can craft their own rune artifacts, and rune swords are the most common type.

However, the power of rune artifacts crafted by different rune masters varies greatly, with huge differences.

The difference is not based on realm; some rune masters are skilled in rune arrays but not in crafting rune artifacts.

Perhaps the rune artifacts they craft are not as good as those of rune masters one realm lower.

The rune sword left by the Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable naturally cannot be underestimated.

In Lin Moyu's perception, this rune sword had already reached the Other Shore realm, no weaker than the Soul Slayer Sword.

Lin Moyu's mind was clear as a mirror, suddenly understanding the Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable's intentions.

In the Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable's inheritance, he first taught the most basic rune knowledge, then began to impart runes, followed by dismantling runes and setting up rune arrays.

Now it was finally time for how to craft rune artifacts.

The Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable used his method to impart various knowledge about the path of runes, various techniques and methods, one by one.
