Chapter 2224: Sweeping the Starry Sky, Searching for Dragon Balls
During the ten years Lin Moyu spent at the Finger Ruins, the human race's God Venerations were continuously transporting resources from star systems.
They encountered some sporadic resistance, but it was futile, merely resulting in more deaths.
The Hundred Races Alliance had completely collapsed, and the demon race and the Golden Eagle clan had each closed off their star regions.
They knew what fate awaited them.
The decisions made by the Eagle Emperor and the Demon Lord were essentially to leave a way out for their respective races.
Only the Black Blood Great Realm people had not been found yet; they were like pests hiding in dark corners, difficult to discover.
Lin Moyu was not in a hurry about these matters. Now that he had a method to clear the Dao poison, the next steps would be easier.
The human race's plan remained unchanged; transporting star systems would still take decades.
Lin Moyu returned to the Divine City and shared with the Saint Sovereigns what he had encountered in the Finger Ruins.
He mentioned the twelve core ancient runes and the possibility of recreating ancient rune warriors in the future.
Lin Moyu handed the twelve core ancient runes to the Rune Saint Sovereign and provided detailed methods for their refinement, allowing him to study them first.
He had other matters to attend to and didn't have time for this at the moment.
After discussing in the central hall for half a day, Lin Moyu left again.
He arrived at the Sword Realm and stood outside it.
The Sword Realm was already sealed. Standing outside, he could feel the sword intent within.
Traces of rule power seeped out, and Lin Moyu sensed his sister's aura.
Lin Mohan's aura was much stronger than before. Lin Moyu knew she had already stepped into the Saint Sovereign realm and was currently constructing her rule world.
Constructing a rule world is a complex process that takes a long time.
Most Saint Sovereigns first construct an outline and then gradually perfect it, making it stronger.
The entire process could take anywhere from a hundred to several hundred or even a thousand years.
Lin Moyu didn't know how far along his sister was, but he knew he couldn't disturb her.
Lin Mohan seemed to sense Lin Moyu's presence, and a sword cry echoed from within the Sword Realm, reaching outside.
After hearing this, Lin Moyu took a step and disappeared.
The starry sky became quiet again as Lin Moyu moved silently through it.
Space warped and folded, and space gates continuously appeared.
Lin Moyu kept opening space gates, and in the blink of an eye, he had left the human star region.
Next, he had two tasks: first, to search for the remnants of the various races.
Most of the Hundred Races Alliance had been exterminated, but some remnants still existed. To Lin Moyu, these remnants represented karma and were also rewards for the Great World.
To sever karma for the Great World, these people had to die.
The second task was to search for the Dragon Balls.
He had promised the Celestial Dragon, and he intended to fulfill that promise.
Lin Moyu arrived at the edge of the domain and began to slow down. Each time he opened a space gate, he moved about 100 light-years.
Every 100 light-years, Lin Moyu would release 10,000 Skeleton God Generals to search the nearby area.
He had 2.5 billion Skeleton God Generals, enough to cover a vast star region.
Once the Skeleton God Generals were used up, he still had 500 million Death Knights.
The undead legion possessed undead vision, which could see soul flames from incredibly far distances.
No matter how the remnants hid, it was useless.
Especially after the undead legion collectively advanced to the Other Shore realm, their undead vision became even stronger. Even if hidden in formations or shattered stars, they could still be seen.
The massive undead legion spread out in the starry sky, beginning a grand search and sweep.
Soon, remnants were discovered, and facing the Other Shore realm undead legion, their fate was sealed.
While searching for remnants, Lin Moyu also began searching for the Dragon Balls.
Of the five Dragon Balls, three were within the domain. One had already been found, and two were still missing.
Before taking action, he had already searched the human star region but hadn't found any Dragon Balls.
The domain was vast, and searching it was quite laborious.
Lin Moyu had no better method and could only search bit by bit.
The Fortune Explosion technique continued to operate, bringing good luck to Lin Moyu.
After understanding the power of illusion and reality, Lin Moyu knew how miraculous the Fortune Explosion technique was.
Sometimes, luck is more important than strength.
The starry sky gradually became sparse as more and more stars were transported away.
The number of stars in the human star region increased, and with the increase in resources, the human race's fortune also grew stronger.
In recent years, many geniuses had emerged within the human race.
They were exceptionally talented and cultivated at an astonishing speed.
The emergence of many geniuses was also a sign of the human race's rise to prosperity.
The human race was entering a golden age of cultivation, and everyone was filled with confidence.
In the past ten thousand years, things had never been this good.
In the demon race's ancestral land, the Demon Ancestor Altar burned with flames year-round.
The Demon Lord manipulated the corpse of a Supreme demon, sitting in the altar, enduring the burning flames.
The vitality in the corpse continuously increased, especially in the past ten years, occasionally letting out low growls.
The growls were filled with anger and hatred. Each growl brought more flames, which drilled into the corpse.
In the past year, red light began to shine from the corpse's eyes, filled with intense killing intent.
"Humans, I will make you pay!"
Finally, the dried corpse let out a voice filled with hatred amidst the growls.
It continued to absorb the flames, and the Demon Ancestor Altar kept shaking and glowing, with continuous rumbling sounds.
In the Golden Eagle clan, the Eagle Emperor's face was grim.
His avatar had fought a bloody battle, finally breaking through the boundary and escaping to the outer domain.
But not long ago, they encountered a disaster in the outer domain.
They came across an ancient human warship, which attacked their team without warning.
The warship had the combat power of a Saint Sovereign, and the Eagle Emperor's avatar was no match for it.
Many clan members died under the warship's attacks.
In the end, he let his clan members escape while he chose to perish with the warship.
His avatar died, and his clan members scattered, their fates unknown.
He had completely lost contact with his clan members.
The outer domain was not a safe place, and it was uncertain how many of his clan members would survive.
All the Saint Sovereigns in the clan had died in battle, and now even his avatar was dead.
All of this was caused by the human race.
He let out a roar, transforming into a golden eagle, flying towards the core area of the Golden Eagle clan.
"Humans, even if we have lost, we will not let you have it easy!"
His voice echoed within the Golden Eagle clan, filled with hatred, shaking the starry sky.
Lin Moyu woke up from his state of enlightenment once again.
Over the years, about one-fifth of the domain's space had been searched.
Several more races had been exterminated, and Lin Moyu had entered a state of enlightenment several times.
The duration varied, sometimes lasting over ten days, sometimes just one or two days.
Each time he entered enlightenment, it meant another race had been exterminated, severing another piece of karma for the Great World.
This time, the enlightenment lasted three days, and the exterminated race was a small one.
Lin Moyu's body was enveloped in rule power, which had grown much stronger compared to before.
Now, one-third of his laws had been sublimated into rule power. The speed of sublimation during enlightenment was very fast; three days were equivalent to one or two years.
"Having four laws to sublimate is indeed slower than ordinary Other Shore realm cultivators."
Lin Moyu chuckled. While four laws were powerful, sublimating them into rule power also required four times the time.
Without the help of enlightenment, this step alone would take Lin Moyu at least a hundred years, and he wouldn't be able to move during that time.
Now, with the help of enlightenment, the required time was greatly reduced.
The World-Destroying Fire ignited, and Lin Moyu let out a muffled groan.
The newly formed traces of Dao poison were cleared by the World-Destroying Fire.
"Let's continue!"
Lin Moyu's heart stirred, and he opened a space gate, crossing hundreds of light-years while taking out the Dragon-Seeking Orb.
A faint light shone in the starry sky, and the Dragon-Seeking Orb finally reacted.
