Chapter 1683: 1683 ### Chapter 1683: This Is Why He Can Clear It Lei Wenbin watched Lin Moyu’s departing figure, his eyes filled with even more envy. Until Lin Moyu disappeared from sight, he looked down at the now devastated maple forest, remaining silent. The maple forest was mostly destroyed, with giant maple trees lying horizontally in disarray. Large swathes of maple leaves were still fluttering in the air, and the forest was eerily silent, with all the rune beasts killed. Lei Wenbin had entered the Maple Forest Secret Realm several times, but this was the first time he had encountered such a scene. "Five god-level puppets are enough to ensure he can earn enough merit points in the secret realm." "And he can earn them very safely. Where did this kid get those puppets? He’s really lucky." After pondering for a long time, Lei Wenbin sighed and flew off in another direction. Envy was envy, and jealousy was jealousy, but he couldn’t possibly try to steal the puppets. First of all, he couldn’t win. Lin Moyu might only be a god king, but the puppets were genuine god-level beings. If Lei Wenbin dared to make a move, he would face an extremely fierce counterattack. Not to mention facing five god-level puppets, even one would be impossible to handle. Although Lei Wenbin was confident, he had a clear understanding of his own limits. "Although I wasted some time, I also got a clear view of Lin Moyu’s true strength." "So-called genius, he’s just an ordinary person relying on puppets." "God-level puppets, once I reach god-level, I can surpass you." A desire to surpass Lin Moyu surged in Lei Wenbin’s heart. He believed he had seen through Lin Moyu’s strength and that as long as he reached god-level, he could completely surpass Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu had no idea what Lei Wenbin was thinking. To him, Lei Wenbin was just an insignificant passerby. While searching the maple forest, he was also deducing various possibilities. "According to the data, the biggest possibility to trigger the second stage is for the sky to turn blood-red." "But the sky turning blood-red is too random; it’s entirely possible not to encounter it." "Based on the evolution of runes, even rules have patterns to follow." "There should be some trigger that can make the sky turn blood-red." Lin Moyu continuously integrated the data in his mind, looking for the possibility of making the sky turn blood-red. Based on his previous experiences in clearing secret realms and his own research on ancient runes, Lin Moyu was more than 90% sure that the sky turning blood-red was not entirely random. There must be some trigger condition, and once that condition was met, the change would occur. What he needed to do was find the corresponding trigger condition. If he couldn’t find it, he would have to try another method and rely on luck. "Kill more rune beasts and explore more areas." With his thoughts clear, Lin Moyu knew what he needed to do next. With a thought, a large number of skeletal god generals appeared around him. However, this time, the skeletal god generals did not reveal their powerful aura. They retracted their god-level aura and then flew to extremely high altitudes, spreading out in all directions. As in previous secret realms, the skeletal god generals would complete the map for Lin Moyu. Moreover, now that the skeletal god generals had reached god-level, their speed had surpassed that of Lin Moyu, their master. The light-speed law of the lich’s light transformation was no longer effective on the god-level skeletal god generals. The skeletal god generals’ own speed had reached 200,000 kilometers per second. This made exploration much faster. No matter how large the secret realm was, Lin Moyu could get a complete map in a relatively short time. Outside the Maple Forest Secret Realm, about ten light-years away in the uninhabited starry sky. In the originally dark and silent starry sky, a magnificent palace appeared. The palace, belonging to the Beyond Realm, floated quietly, with a special tea fragrance spreading in the starry sky. The floral fragrance turned into clouds of mist, drifting far and wide. At a small tea table in front of the palace, a teapot with a spirit automatically flew up and poured tea for people. The Holy Venerable sat at the head, with Elder Lin and Lady Yu below him. The opening of the Maple Forest Secret Realm had attracted not only Lady Yu but also the Holy Venerable Wu. Lady Yu said softly, "Lin Xiaoyou has gone in. I wonder if he can clear the secret realm this time." Elder Lin shook his head, "The difficulty of the special secret realm is too high. The hope is not very great." Lady Yu gently shook her head, "That’s not necessarily true. Lin Xiaoyou cannot be judged by common sense. His performance against the Yellow Sand Giant Beast was truly amazing." Elder Lin agreed with Lady Yu, "Indeed, it was amazing. I didn’t expect him to be able to wield the Soul Shooting Bow to that extent. But it’s strange, where did he get so much power of belief?" Everything Lin Moyu did at that time was recorded by the Human Emperor Network and seen by all the Beyond Realm experts. Everything else was understandable, but no one could figure out where Lin Moyu got so much power of belief. The power of belief needed to be accumulated, and no matter how famous Lin Moyu was, it was impossible to accumulate so much power of belief. The Holy Venerable put down his teacup and said softly, "Don’t forget, Lin Moyu has many summoned creatures." "If these summoned creatures can provide him with the power of belief, it’s not impossible." "Using summoned creatures to provide the power of belief?" Elder Lin repeated the Holy Venerable’s words, somewhat puzzled, "Is that possible?" The Holy Venerable showed a meaningful expression, "For others, it might be impossible, but for Lin Moyu, it’s not necessarily so." "If it weren’t for the power of belief, why would he set up a belief array?" Elder Lin was still puzzled, "But he has no place to set it up. Where did this kid set up the belief array?" Lady Yu’s eyes lit up, "Holy Venerable, are you saying that Lin Xiaoyou set up the belief array in the soul world?" The Holy Venerable smiled and nodded, "If I’m not mistaken, it should be so. His summoned creatures should also be in the soul world." "As long as he sets up enough belief arrays in the soul world, he can continuously obtain the power of belief from the summoned creatures." Elder Lin praised, "This kid’s talent in runes is truly extraordinary." The Holy Venerable continued, "And don’t forget what he did some time ago." "The rune array he set up was eventually taken into the soul world by him." Elder Lin was taken aback, "I remember that at that time, the Rune Holy Venerable saw Lin Moyu’s array and suddenly had an epiphany, then went into seclusion." "What is the purpose of that array? Is it really that powerful?" The Rune Holy Venerable was the foremost expert in ancient rune research among the human race. If even he could be inspired by the array, it must be extraordinary. No one knew how Lin Moyu came up with such an array. It couldn’t simply be described as genius. The Holy Venerable chuckled, "The level of that array is not high, but its concept is very advanced." "Lin Xiaoyou used the array to draw runes and then fused the runes to create stronger runes." "In theory, it could even be used to directly create ancient runes." Gasp! 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶 Elder Lin gasped, and Lady Yu’s face showed astonishment. Such an array, although not high-level, had an extremely advanced concept. Lady Yu sighed softly, "I really don’t know how Lin Xiaoyou came up with such a method. It’s incredibly creative." The Holy Venerable smiled, "That’s why I said, let him grow freely. Don’t constrain him or influence him with our own thoughts." "I believe he will bring us more surprises in the future."
