Chapter 1978: 1978 **Chapter 1978: Burn My Soul, Seize Your Luck** Lin Moyu’s heart sank as he noticed the worsening condition of the Great World Runes. It hadn’t been many years since he last saw them, but the deterioration seemed faster than expected. Lin Moyu felt that Star Elder’s worries were overly optimistic. At this rate, the resources of the Great World would deplete faster, leading to conflicts among various races. Fortunately, not many people could see the Great World Runes. At least, a Saint Sovereign couldn’t see them at will. Even Star Elder couldn’t see them. He might have ways to sense them, but he couldn’t see them as clearly as the Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign. This provided a time window for the human race to prepare in advance. However, Lin Moyu had a bad premonition. He even wanted to detect the luck value of the Great World Runes to see if it was red, green, or gray. The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign retracted his power after just two seconds, and the passage disappeared. The world returned to calm, with only the runes in the Inheritance Tower space still shining. The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign had consumed a lot of power, appearing somewhat ethereal. After all, he was just a remnant soul, strong in essence but lacking in quantity. The starlight from the runes shone on the remnant soul of the Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign, allowing it to recover. Lin Moyu asked, "Senior, do you have any results?" The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign sighed heavily, "Our home is destroyed." Lin Moyu’s heart sank. The words of the Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign were a very bad answer. Suppressing his unease, he asked, "Is there still a chance for rebirth?" The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign shook his head, "The hope is slim." "Slim hope means there is still hope!" Lin Moyu’s eyes lit up. The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign didn’t completely deny it. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he could try. The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign said, "A faint hope, almost none." Lin Moyu’s tone became resolute, "Please, senior, tell me how to repair the Great World Runes and restore the world’s vitality." The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign’s eyes shone brightly, and countless starlights appeared out of thin air, illuminating Lin Moyu, "Do you know how much karma you will bear if you really do this?" "Your luck is strong, but it may not be enough to bear it." "With your talent, you have a chance to ascend the divine path, achieve Heavenly Sovereign, and transcend this Great World." "You still have time. As long as you reach Heavenly Sovereign, even if this world is destroyed, you will not die." "If you choose to repair it, you will be trapped here, living and dying with it." "Are you sure you want to do this?" The words of the Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign were as heavy as mountains and seas, pressing down on Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu faced two choices: one was to live and die with the Great World. If successful, the Great World would be repaired without needing rebirth. If he failed, he would perish with the Great World. The second choice was to use his astonishing talent to ascend the divine path, achieve Heavenly Sovereign, and transcend the Great World. Even if the Great World perished, he could still live. With the lifespan of a Heavenly Sovereign, living for hundreds of thousands of years would not be a problem. But for Lin Moyu, he had no choice. He couldn’t abandon the Great World, his wife in the Sleeping Coffin, or his friends and seniors in the Great World. Even if he could transcend, at the moment of the Great World’s destruction, these people would all die. Lin Moyu smiled, "Senior, I am sure!" The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign could see Lin Moyu’s determination, "Since that is the case, I will tell you how to repair the Great World Runes." "But before that, I want to know what has happened in the Great World over the years." "When I observed the Great World Runes earlier, I noticed some problems!" Lin Moyu immediately recounted the events that had occurred since ancient times, including the scenes he had seen through the runes. The collapse of the giants, the evolution of the runes into secret realms, and the struggles among various races. He also mentioned how the human race almost perished 100,000 years ago, and how Xiao Zhantian emerged to save the day, ending the near-ancient era. While recounting, Lin Moyu kept an eye on the Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign’s expression. The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign remained calm, perhaps having seen too many major events, so he was used to such things. Even when he saw the severe damage to the Great World Runes and knew the world was about to be destroyed, he only sighed. After Lin Moyu finished, the Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign said, "This is karma." His tone was extremely calm, "Back then, we plundered the origins of various worlds, sowing the cause. The near-extinction of the human race is the effect." Lin Moyu was shocked, "Isn’t the law of karma a law of the Great World? How can it be like this!" The laws belong to the Great World, so how can they backfire on themselves? In Lin Moyu’s understanding, karma was directed at the beings within the Great World, and the Great World itself should be above karma. The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign did not explain, "When you reach Heavenly Sovereign, you will naturally understand." "This world is far more complex than you think." Lin Moyu asked, "Senior, is there a way to repair the Great World Runes?" "Repairing the Great World Runes is not easy, but there is a method, though it may not be effective," the Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign said slowly. Lin Moyu immediately perked up his ears to listen carefully. The method to repair the Great World Runes was extremely difficult, and the probability of success was only about 30%. The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign not only told Lin Moyu how to repair the Great World Runes but also how to achieve Heavenly Sovereign without relying on the divine path and transcend the Great World. Lin Moyu then realized that it was possible to achieve Supreme or even Heavenly Sovereign without following the divine path. There was another path to choose. However, taking that path meant severing ties with the Great World, strictly speaking, no longer being a part of it. At the same time, it would cause some harm to the Great World. In the past, the Great World could bear it, but now, it would be like rubbing salt into a wound. The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign said, "You still have a chance to choose before you reach Supreme." Although Lin Moyu had already made his decision, the Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign still gave him two choices. How to choose was up to Lin Moyu. The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign said earnestly, "You still have time, and the Great World still has time. In this era, having an outstanding junior like you is a blessing for the human race." "The inheritance has been passed to you. The Cloud Mist Sect can be considered to have a successor. Perhaps this inheritance will help you in what you need to do." "We have wronged the Great World and countless beings." "With this remnant soul, I will do one last thing for this world." A majestic aura rose again, and the starry sky changed, revealing a star map. Lin Moyu was pressed down by the aura of the Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign, unable to speak or even breathe, just watching. He didn’t know what the Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign was going to do, only that it was something significant. On the star map, countless stars appeared, and Lin Moyu saw that they belonged to various races. Demon Race, Golden Eagle Race, Bull Demon Race, Flying Python Race, Black Stone Race... All the large and small races were present. The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign’s aura reached its peak, and he softly shouted, "Explode!" The Luck Explosion Technique was suddenly activated, and the Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign’s luck soared. Dragon roars echoed. The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign’s voice was incredibly deep, "Burn my soul, seize your luck!"
