Chapter 1704: 1704 ### Chapter 1704: No Way, Is This Even Possible? Dongfang Ze returned, looking somewhat dejected. This was his second failure. If the first time could be attributed to inexperience, this time it was entirely due to his own mistake. At the last moment, he thought he was going to succeed, but the sudden repulsive force from the Human Race Tower gave him a heavy blow. Reality is cruel; he went in full of confidence but returned disappointed. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖 Seeing Dongfang Ze’s dejected look, Lin Moyu said, "Actually, failing a few times isn’t a bad thing. If this were on the battlefield, a single failure could cost you your life." The Human Race Tower, the God of War Palace, and the military fortress, these three rapidly rotating buildings, were telling everyone that failure is commonplace. No matter how well-prepared you are, the final result may not always be satisfactory. Lin Moyu’s words seemed to be directed at Dongfang Ze, but they were actually meant for everyone present. Some of the people here had been to the world outside the Divine City and had seen the cruelty of the battlefield. But many more had never been outside. In their years of cultivation, they only knew about tasks and secret realms. At most, they dealt with exotic beasts on resource stars and evil spirits in ancient battlefields. As long as they were well-prepared, they rarely failed. But the battlefield is different. No matter how well-prepared you are, various unexpected situations always arise. The soldiers in the Divine City can’t be compared to those in the Four Great Star Domains; their combat experience is far inferior. The God of War Palace is even more mysterious; no one knows what they are doing. Lin Moyu didn’t care if they understood his words. Dongfang Ze somewhat understood Lin Moyu’s words and cupped his hands, "Thank you, Junior Brother Lin, for your guidance. Indeed, failing here is nothing; as long as we don’t fail on the battlefield, it’s fine." Lin Moyu smiled and slowly flew out, heading towards the Human Race Tower. As he moved, he immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Those who were about to make their move also paused. They all wanted to see how Lin Moyu would pass this test, whether he would succeed or fail. Lin Moyu had already become a legend in the Divine City. He had consecutively cleared three ordinary secret realms and even cleared a special secret realm that no one had ever cleared before. This was an unprecedented record, and it was estimated that it would be difficult for anyone to break it in the future. Some even thought that this was just the beginning and that Lin Moyu would clear more secret realms in the future. "Do you think Lin Moyu will succeed?" "Not many people succeed on their first try, but Lin Moyu is very likely to succeed." "Lin Moyu is indeed very strong in clearing secret realms, but this is different." "There’s nothing different. Don’t forget, Lin Moyu is only at the sixth rank of the God King, but his real combat power is far beyond that." "Some say he relies on puppets for his strength, and his own combat power isn’t that strong." "We’ll see. No matter how many rumors you hear, it’s not as good as seeing it with your own eyes." Lin Moyu flew at a speed of 50,000 kilometers per second, approaching the star. This was only one-third of his maximum speed, so it could be considered slow. The Human Race Tower whizzed by, but Lin Moyu didn’t chase it. It was as if Lin Moyu’s destination wasn’t the Human Race Tower but the 100,000th star. Lin Moyu bypassed the Human Race Tower and continued to approach the star. When he was 500,000 kilometers away from the star, a strong attractive force suddenly fell upon him. Lin Moyu’s speed was almost instantly accelerated to 100,000 kilometers per second. At this speed, he would crash into the star in just five seconds. Many people would instinctively resist, but Lin Moyu didn’t. He crashed towards the star like a meteor. When he was only 10,000 kilometers away from the star, the attractive force suddenly disappeared, and a huge repulsive force appeared, bouncing him high like a ball hitting the ground. At this moment, Lin Moyu adjusted his direction, flying and rotating in the same direction as the Human Race Tower. Bounced back, Lin Moyu’s speed was maintained at about 80,000 kilometers per second, slightly slower than the Human Race Tower. The Human Race Tower circled the star once and caught up from behind Lin Moyu. The distance between the Human Race Tower and Lin Moyu was constantly shrinking. It should be said that the Human Race Tower was catching up to Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu’s method immediately sparked discussions among the crowd. His method was different from anyone else’s. "No way, is this even possible?" "Really, you don’t have to do anything? Aren’t the attractive and repulsive forces meant to be resisted?" "I think I understand a bit. The attractive and repulsive forces are like ocean waves. Waves come one after another, rising and falling. You shouldn’t fight against the waves but go with the flow, like surfing." "It seems to make sense, but you know, the hardest part isn’t now; it’s the moment you enter the tower." Dongfang Ze stared without blinking. He had been thrown off at the last moment, leading to his failure. He didn’t know if Lin Moyu would end up like him. But based on his understanding of Lin Moyu, he felt that Lin Moyu was very likely to succeed. Lin Moyu seemed to never do anything he wasn’t confident about. Lin Moyu was indeed surfing, with the waves being the attractive and repulsive forces. He had observed many times and concluded that the last step was the hardest in the entire process. Many people were on the verge of entering the Human Race Tower but were suddenly eliminated. When the distance to the Human Race Tower was less than 10,000 kilometers, the tower would react, erupting with a strong repulsive force. If the repulsive force was ineffective, the star would simultaneously generate an attractive force. At that time, the two opposing forces would intertwine, pulling and pushing, enough to disrupt the cultivator’s flight path, leading to failure. Dongfang Ze experienced this. When the repulsive force suddenly disappeared, he couldn’t retract his own power in time, disrupting his flight path and crashing into the Human Race Tower. Then the two forces alternated, instantly pushing him away. The whole process took less than half a second, clean and swift. It wasn’t just Dongfang Ze; several others experienced the same. So Lin Moyu didn’t exert any force himself; he went with the flow, letting the Human Race Tower approach him. 100,000 kilometers, 50,000 kilometers, 30,000 kilometers... When the distance to the Human Race Tower was less than 10,000 kilometers, a repulsive force suddenly erupted. Lin Moyu still didn’t react, letting the repulsive force act on him. The strength of the repulsive force would adjust according to the cultivator’s realm. The repulsive force wasn’t strong, just slightly pushing Lin Moyu away. However, Lin Moyu still maintained the same trajectory as the Human Race Tower. The Human Race Tower continued to generate repulsive force, pushing Lin Moyu. "The Human Race Tower is pushing him to fly." "This method is good, very energy-saving, but he won’t be able to enter the tower this way." "No, look closely. The distance between him and the Human Race Tower is shrinking." Lin Moyu wasn’t completely passive; he was now using some force to counteract the repulsive force. So the distance between him and the Human Race Tower was gradually shrinking. A layer of gray gas surrounded Lin Moyu. The power of death from the Undying Law was corroding part of the repulsive force. In his eyes, the repulsive force was just a type of law power, and since it was a law, it could be corroded. The closer he got to the Human Race Tower, the stronger the repulsive force became. However, Lin Moyu continued to increase the output of the power of death, corroding the repulsive force faster and faster.
