Chapter 1689: 1689 ### Chapter 1689: Change Perspective, Find the Missing Point The people who had been waiting outside the secret realm for most of the day were completely stunned. After the Human Emperor Network’s reminder was sent out, the entire starry sky exploded within just three seconds. "What the heck, are they still letting us play or not?" "Lin Moyu actually killed the ’Talking Maple Tree.’ My god, how did he do it?" "Are his puppets really that strong? What kind of puppets are those?" "Is he really relying on puppets? It feels so unreal." "Otherwise, do you think a little guy at the sixth rank of the God King can really compare to a God Sovereign?" "The problem now is, how long do we have to wait?" "Who knows? Anyway, the Human Emperor Network will notify us. If you don’t want to wait, you can go in now." The discussions in the starry sky were endless, and everyone had their own opinions. Many people were complaining about Lin Moyu because his actions affected them, preventing them from earning merit points in the divine city. But some people also thought Lin Moyu did nothing wrong. After all, if he had the strength, why not do it? It’s impossible to harm one’s own interests just to consider others. Lin Moyu is not a saint, and besides, he doesn’t even know them. In the starry sky outside the secret realm, space was constantly distorting, and many people were escaping from the secret realm. They looked somewhat disheveled, and some even seemed a bit frightened. Among those who came out this time, there were quite a few God Sovereigns. The faces of those God Sovereigns did not look good, and some were even injured. Someone went up to ask and found out that they had encountered the ’Talking Maple Tree.’ Only then did everyone realize that the ’Talking Maple Tree’ used soul attacks. Among all attack methods, soul attacks are the most troublesome. They are difficult to defend against, very powerful, and once injured, extremely hard to heal. These injured God Sovereigns didn’t know how long it would take to recover. Those with bad luck might never recover for the rest of their lives. Through the descriptions of these God Sovereigns, everyone realized how terrifying the ’Talking Maple Tree’ was. Even God Sovereigns couldn’t withstand it. If a God King encountered it, even a minor God Sovereign might not have a chance to escape. Such a terrifying creature was killed by Lin Moyu. More people began to believe that Lin Moyu did not rely solely on puppets. "I think Lin Moyu himself must be very strong." "Soul attacks are all-encompassing; puppets can’t take the attacks for him." "His soul must be very strong, at least not weaker than a God Sovereign, otherwise, he would have been killed instantly." There are many smart people among the God Kings. After learning the specifics, they could figure out that Lin Moyu himself was actually quite strong. In the next few hours, more and more people came out. Among them were many God Sovereigns, and they all encountered the ’Talking Maple Tree.’ Facing the pervasive soul attacks, these God Sovereigns could only retreat. Now, the area outside the secret realm was crowded with people, nearly a million God Kings and God Sovereigns were waiting. And the number of people still inside the secret realm was dwindling. Lin Moyu picked up the last blood-red maple leaf. "Not too many, not too few, exactly 2500 pieces." "The blood-red maple leaves in this secret realm have all been obtained. If there are any more changes, it should be now." Both types of maple trees had been killed, and the sky had turned red several times, seemingly just one step away. Lin Moyu waited for a few seconds but found nothing unusual. "It shouldn’t be. Did I make a mistake in my judgment?" "Did I miss something?" Lin Moyu believed in his judgment and had great confidence in himself. Obtaining enough blood-red maple leaves should be the correct method. He recalled all the information, especially the data related to the sky turning red. There was very little information in this regard; the sky turning red was not common. In contrast, the appearance frequency of ’Walking Maple Trees’ and ’Talking Maple Trees’ was much higher. Lin Moyu had read this information several times and could almost recite it. But this time, Lin Moyu combined his own experience and looked at the information from another perspective. He sorted a large amount of information from the Human Emperor Network and the secret realm strategy group in chronological order. He found that the first to appear were often the ’Walking Maple Trees.’ According to the records, ’Walking Maple Trees’ generally began to appear around the sixth day after the secret realm opened. And ’Talking Maple Trees’ would start to appear around the twelfth day after the secret realm opened. When he saw this information before, he didn’t think much of it, but now it was different. He already understood why it was the sixth day and the twelfth day: It was because of the blood-red maple leaves. Their appearance was not just due to the collection of a certain number of blood-red maple leaves in a single secret realm. It could also be due to the total number of blood-red maple leaves obtained by everyone. Blood-red maple leaves are derived from ancient rune fragments and cannot be infinite. Lin Moyu fell into deep thought, analyzing to himself, "The total number of blood-red maple leaves should have an upper limit. When the total number of blood-red maple leaves obtained exceeds a certain proportion, it will cause changes." "The first change is the appearance of ’Walking Maple Trees.’ Their appearance will significantly reduce the number of blood-red maple leaves obtained." "When the proportion of blood-red maple leaves obtained continues to rise, it will trigger the second change, which is the appearance of ’Talking Maple Trees,’ further reducing the speed of obtaining blood-red maple leaves." "Then the third change is the sky turning red. Once the sky turns red, it will be almost impossible to collect blood-red maple leaves." "The sky turning red usually occurs in the last few days of the secret realm." "But between the second and third changes, there is a point that people have overlooked, which is the illusion." "The illusion appears after the ’Talking Maple Trees’ appear." Lin Moyu understood; he finally knew what he had missed. He had missed the illusion. "If I’m not mistaken, there must be an illusion in the secret realm now." "Find the illusion!" Thinking of this, over a million skeletal god generals were dispatched to conduct a carpet search of the secret realm. From the sky to the ground, the maple forests, grasslands, barren mountains, every corner of the secret realm was not spared. Lin Moyu felt that his analysis should be correct. All the above analyses, although targeting the countless copies generated by the entire secret realm, actually applied to a single secret realm as well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have encountered two types of special maple trees in succession. The Maple Forest Secret Realm is a special secret realm with two sets of mechanisms operating simultaneously. Lin Moyu felt that he had found the method to unlock the second stage. The skeletal god generals moved quickly, and in just two days, they had almost turned the secret realm upside down. Finally, an illusion was discovered. This illusion was outside a small maple forest, and it was impossible to detect it without entering. As soon as the skeletal god generals entered the illusion, they immediately lost contact. But Lin Moyu could feel that the skeletal god generals who entered the illusion were not dead; they were still alive. "Finding it is good." Lin Moyu breathed a sigh of relief. Finding the illusion proved that his judgment was correct. At least now he was ninety percent sure.
