Chapter 2239: 2239 Chapter 2239: Arrangements Starting from Ancient Times The River of Time was frightened away by the Staff of Calamity. The River of Time has consciousness and knows how formidable the Staff of Calamity is. This indicates that at some point in the past, the Staff of Calamity had displayed an incomparably terrifying power, a power sufficient to make the consciousness of the River of Time feel fear. Otherwise, given how powerful the River of Time is, how could it possibly be afraid? However, there’s another possibility - the River of Time was summoned here by someone using origin power, so it also has many limitations. Otherwise, according to Lin Moyu’s thinking, the River of Time could simply find a few Heavenly Sovereign level experts from the ages and crush him countless times over. No matter how powerful the Staff of Calamity is, it wouldn’t be able to hit a Heavenly Sovereign. Lin Moyu silently pondered, considering various possibilities. The facts proved the formidability of the Staff of Calamity, but such a powerful treasure was ultimately shattered. Five gems were scattered to various places. Lin Moyu has only found two so far, with the other three still missing. Perhaps they can be found, or perhaps they’ll never be found again. The world is vast, and the three gems may not necessarily be in the great world. Finding them would be no easier than becoming a Dao Sovereign. Lin Moyu didn’t have high hopes. For things like this, it depends on fate. If it’s fated, they’ll naturally be found. If not, there’s no use forcing it. Putting away the Forest Supreme, Lin Moyu let out a sigh of relief, "Those guys from the Black Blood Great World probably never imagined their plan would end this way." Lin Moxuan also relaxed at this point, "If the plan had succeeded, it truly would have been a killing blow. The human race would have suffered heavy losses." According to the Black Blood Great World’s plan, the four areas of dark void and four origin crystals working together would have been enough to summon a Heavenly Sovereign from the River of Time. However, their plan was disrupted by Lin Moyu, forcing them to act prematurely when preparations were insufficient. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 Even so, they still had a chance to summon a Heavenly Sovereign. Later, when Lin Moyu destroyed one of the origin crystals, their power was greatly weakened, resulting in only summoning a Supreme. A Supreme is very powerful. Even with Lin Moxuan and the Forest Supreme joining forces, they were helpless against him. Given enough time, they would have been defeated. One can imagine the consequences if a powerful Supreme had invaded the human race’s star regions. In just half a day, a Supreme could destroy numerous star systems, causing countless casualties. If given more time, the damage to the human race would be immeasurable, possibly even shaking their foundations. If that had happened, the Black Blood Great World’s plan would have been half successful. They didn’t expect Lin Moyu to possess the Staff of Calamity, directly scaring away the River of Time, leading to the complete failure of the Black Blood Great World’s plan. With the River of Time fleeing and the origin power receding, Lin Moyu coldly smiled, "Found them." When the Bone Hell appeared earlier, it had interacted with the Black Blood Great World’s origin power, marking it. Now that the origin power has receded, the mark still exists, essentially giving Lin Moyu an accurate location - they completely exposed themselves. Of the four areas of dark void, three remain. Lin Moyu only needs to search them one by one to quickly find them. A space gate opened, and the two traversed vast distances, heading towards another area of dark void. Each space gate could cross 10,000 light years, moving extremely fast. In just a few minutes, they had passed through the Xuanwu Star Region and entered another area of dark void. The first stop was the dark void between the Xuanwu Star Region and the Qinglong Star Region. With the mark as a guide, Lin Moyu found the target location almost effortlessly. The foul-smelling polluted blood, identical to before, floated and sank in the dark void. The polluted blood was surrounded by the time-space power of the Black Blood Great World, placing it in another layer of time-space. Ordinary attacks were completely ineffective against it. This is precisely why the Black Blood Great World was so reckless. Even if discovered, what could the human race’s Saint Lords do? They just didn’t expect to encounter an anomaly like Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu didn’t disturb the polluted blood. He knew that as soon as he touched it, the Black Blood Great World would sense it. These vermin were hiding too deeply; they needed to be dug out all at once and eliminated in one fell swoop. Lin Moyu dispatched the undead army, radiating outward from the polluted blood to search, but after half a day, they found nothing. He judged that if the Black Blood Great World people were hiding, they wouldn’t be too far away. Even the slightest trace wouldn’t escape the undead army’s search. Lin Moxuan remained motionless; she was meditating with closed eyes to recover her strength. Her previous consumption had been significant, and there would surely be a big battle ahead. She needed to maintain her peak condition. Lin Moyu wasn’t in a hurry. After searching around the polluted blood for ten days, he finally gave up, "They’re not here. Let’s go to the next location." The Black Blood Great World had been hiding for so many years and had taken root. They couldn’t escape in such a short time, so there was no need to rush. Space gates opened one after another, and the two arrived at the dark void between the Qinglong Star Region and the Zhuque Star Region. Quickly finding the location of the polluted blood, Lin Moyu repeated the process, continuing to search. After another ten days, still no results. "Next stop!" The two headed to the final location, the dark void between the Zhuque Star Region and the Baihu Star Region. The polluted blood remained unchanged, showing no difference. The polluted blood in the four areas of dark void looked identical, with no discernible differences, maintaining some kind of balance. The polluted blood was just the surface; the real core was the origin crystal inside. Lin Moyu searched for another ten days, still with no results. His eyes narrowed, "Could I have guessed wrong? Is the Black Blood Great World not hiding near the polluted blood?" "Or did I miss something?" Lin Moyu pondered. He felt his judgment shouldn’t be wrong. The hiding place of the Black Blood Great World certainly wouldn’t be too far from the polluted blood. Lin Moxuan finished her meditation, restored to her peak condition. Although she had been meditating along the way, she had also been thinking. She usually didn’t like to use her brain much, preferring to let her sword do the talking in most situations. But this doesn’t mean she can’t think. There are no fools among the Saint Lords in the world; it’s just a matter of whether they’re willing to think or not. Lin Moxuan said, "Little Yu, how do you think the Black Blood Great World’s arrangements maintain balance?" Lin Moyu’s eyes suddenly lit up, a flash of inspiration. Lin Moxuan’s words gave him an idea. He waved out a star map, which appeared in three dimensions, displaying the entire domain space. The four areas of dark void occupied a significant portion of the star regions, appearing to be evenly distributed between the four star regions. If the four star regions were divided into eight parts, the dark voids would be perfectly balanced with the four star regions. This situation hadn’t seemed significant before, but now as Lin Moyu looked at it again, he had a different feeling. The dark voids seemed more like the result of deliberate arrangement. If such an arrangement had persisted from ancient times until now, that would be terrifying. What kind of arrangement could last from ancient times until now, taking so long? The purpose behind it must be incredibly shocking. Lin Moyu murmured, "It’s possible that summoning the River of Time was just one step. The true core purpose may not lie here." Lin Moxuan also said, "The Black Blood Great World is the main culprit behind the great world’s decline. Their strength cannot be underestimated." "Whatever arrangements they make, we shouldn’t be surprised." Lin Moyu nodded slightly, his finger lightly tapping to mark all the locations of the polluted blood, including the one that had been destroyed. Lines were drawn connecting the four polluted blood locations as coordinates, avoiding the areas occupied by the human race, forming numerous intersection points. Countless intersection points formed a straight line. The Black Blood Great World was very likely hiding somewhere along this line. Lin Moyu’s expression suddenly changed. This line passed through the human race’s Divine City and the Human Emperor’s body. This situation was very abnormal. It indicated that the Black Blood Great World knew the exact locations of the Divine City and the Human Emperor’s body. From this, it could also be deduced that the Black Blood Great World’s arrangements were certainly not limited to the River of Time; they must have other plans in store. "Let’s go!" The space gate opened once again!
