Chapter 2773: 2773 **Chapter 2773: How Did He Guess That?** Lin Moyu listened and muttered to himself, "This is the fourth round for me!" He had already gone through three rounds, and this was his fourth. However, there was no choice; the rules were set by others, and he had to follow them. Lin Moyu took a deep breath, "Since that’s the case, I’ll give it my all. Let’s see how this Heavenly Sovereign can slap the faces of you so-called prodigies." "I wonder what the illusion will be like." He had already decided to use himself as a bargaining chip to gain the qualification to speak with Xiahou Yuan. Since that was the case, he had to perform well in the competition. Xiahou Yuan lightly tapped his finger, and his Great Dao descended. Everyone saw a brand new world. The illusion descended, and the scene before Lin Moyu’s eyes instantly changed. He found himself standing on a city wall, and the two water spheres in his hands had already shattered. The illusion seemed to act directly on the soul, making the entire world incredibly real, indistinguishable from the real world. A powerful Dao Sovereign who practiced the Great Dao of the Soul could create an illusion so real that it was hard to tell it apart from reality. In this world, if you believed it was real, then it was real. Lin Moyu examined this world, feeling the power of the Great Dao within it, sensing the coexistence of illusion and reality. Having dealt with illusions countless times, Lin Moyu felt something strange. The world he was in was too real to be an illusion, yet it wasn’t the real world either. It was no longer the Origin Continent, and many Great Daos couldn’t be sensed. But the power of the Sun Origin still existed. Lin Moyu checked his rule world and found everything normal, no different from being in the Origin Continent. However, his connection with the three Great Daos seemed slightly weakened. "It doesn’t quite feel like an illusion. This world is somewhere between real and illusion. It looks like an illusion but isn’t." Suddenly, Lin Moyu had an epiphany, "This world... is Senior Xiahou’s rule world!" He realized that this wasn’t an illusion but Xiahou Yuan’s rule world. The so-called illusion was just a facade, a deception. Lin Moyu murmured to himself, "Since this is a rule world, there must be corresponding rules to break through the so-called illusion." "I wonder what the rules here are." "I’m on a city wall, surrounded by many soldiers. These soldiers look wooden and dazed, clearly created by Senior Xiahou’s power." "There are soldiers ready for battle and plenty of weapons. There must be a war coming!" Lin Moyu’s self-talk was loud, seemingly speaking to himself but actually intended for Xiahou Yuan to hear. If this really was Xiahou Yuan’s rule world, Lin Moyu knew Xiahou Yuan could hear him. If he guessed correctly and saw through the true nature of the illusion, it would add to his bargaining power with Xiahou Yuan. Lin Moyu either did nothing or went all out. Just as Lin Moyu thought, when he spoke those words, Xiahou Yuan’s mouth twitched twice. "He actually figured it out. How did he see through it?" "When everyone else thought it was an illusion, how did this kid realize it was a rule world?" "He’s very cautious and doesn’t easily believe what others say. He makes judgments based on his own thoughts." "He’s very opinionated, smart, has good comprehension, a strong Dao heart, and has seen things even I haven’t." "This guy, where did he come from? He’s a freak among freaks." Xiahou Yuan, who had lived for countless years, could also analyze various information about Lin Moyu from his words. Xiahou Yuan smiled, "Let’s see if you can break through my rule world." In each "illusion," everyone was in the same scene, with the same city and the same number of soldiers. The only difference was the realm. The soldiers on the city wall had the same realm as the prodigies. If the participant was at the first realm of Dao Sovereign, the soldiers were also at the first realm of Dao Sovereign. The Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus was at the second realm of Dao Sovereign, so the soldiers with her were also at the second realm of Dao Sovereign. Lin Moyu was a mid-level Heavenly Sovereign, so the soldiers around him were also mid-level Heavenly Sovereigns. Xiahou Yuan’s voice rang out again, "The rule to break through the illusion is to use all means to annihilate the enemy, regardless of casualties or cost." "Using any treasures, pills, or external items is prohibited." The rules were simple: eliminate the enemy using any method, without using treasures or pills, relying solely on one’s skills. This made one’s own strength even more important. Lin Moyu heard the rules and smiled, "This will be interesting." These rules were very advantageous for him. In his small world, many instances had similar rules, and Lin Moyu was very familiar with them. Moreover, the demonic armies he had fought in his small world were quite similar. If the opponents weren’t strong enough, the battle could end in an instant. Xiahou Yuan noticed Lin Moyu’s expression and frowned slightly, "This kid is a bit off." But he couldn’t pinpoint what was off, just feeling something was amiss. In the "illusion," the enemy finally appeared. Thousands of miles away, the enemy formed an army, pressing forward like dark clouds. Lin Moyu squinted, scanning the enemy and quickly understanding their situation. The enemy numbered exactly ten thousand. Among them, nine thousand were slightly lower in realm, at the low-level Heavenly Sovereign. Among the remaining thousand, nine hundred were at the same realm as Lin Moyu. Among the last hundred, ninety-nine were one realm higher, at the high-level Heavenly Sovereign. The last one was at the peak Heavenly Sovereign, the strongest among them. On Lin Moyu’s side, the defending soldiers numbered exactly one thousand, ten times fewer than the enemy. However, their realms were higher than most of the enemy, making it possible to hold the position. As long as the participants weren’t too weak, counterattacking was also possible. After all, the participants were all prodigies, and as prodigies, they were expected to have the ability to fight across realms. Lin Moyu knew that Lu Fengyao’s full strength could rival a second-realm Dao Sovereign. The Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus could also fight a third-realm Dao Sovereign. The top thirty prodigies all had the ability to fight across realms. Lin Moyu murmured, "The strength gap between small realms within the Heavenly Sovereign realm is significant but not as vast as in the Dao Sovereign realm." "In the Dao Sovereign realm, each realm’s strength gap is huge. I estimate there won’t be enemies beyond one’s own realm, just fluctuations within the same realm." "Those prodigies should be fine as long as they aren’t too weak. It’s just a matter of time." Xiahou Yuan heard Lin Moyu’s analysis and his mouth twitched, "How did this guy guess that?" Suddenly, his pupils contracted, "What’s he going to do?"
