Chapter 826: 826 **Chapter 826: The Higher Demon is About to Descend** The world’s will has no consciousness, only instinct. When it is asleep, everything follows the rules. Lin Muyu gave the world power, and according to the rules, it naturally reciprocated. Its gift was a trace of the world’s essence. [Corpse Explosion] is a planetary-level spell with only a 20% fusion rate. Further improvement is very difficult and requires various opportunities. Ascending to god-level is a small opportunity, and with the help of the world’s essence, the fusion rate began to increase. Originally, when human professionals ascended to god-level, their spell planets would be enhanced. Most of Lin Muyu’s spells have now been converted to stellar-level, reaching the limit of the small world’s rules, with no room for further improvement. Only [Damage Transfer], [Corpse Explosion], and [Summon Skeleton King] still have room for improvement. This time, a trace of the world’s essence fell on [Corpse Explosion], and with Lin Muyu’s soul power, the fusion rate finally increased. The fusion rate did not increase much, only reaching 40%. [Corpse Explosion (Fusion Rate 40%): Detonates corpses or remains, causing damage equal to 40% of the corpse’s life value within a 400-meter radius to designated targets.] The spell’s effect, whether in range or damage value, has been enhanced. The increase in the fusion rate is not the key; the key is that Lin Muyu felt the goodwill of the world’s will. This is very important for what he is about to do. Others may take several days to ascend to god-level. The small world’s rule limit is too low, and Lin Muyu’s strength is too strong, almost reaching the point where there is no room for further improvement. Lin Muyu’s ascension took a very short time, and it was declared complete in just an hour. The world returned to peace once again. At this moment, all the god-level powerhouses in the world simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, they felt an immense pressure, making it hard to breathe. The pressure came from the world’s will, which had a brief revival when it sent out the world power. The pressure it emitted at that time affected everyone. "Lin Muyu!" Lilian’s voice suddenly rang out, her voice very special, clear yet dignified, unforgettable after hearing it once. Lin Muyu took out the magic stone given by the Demon Emperor, which glowed and projected the Demon Emperor’s stunning figure. "What is it?" The Demon Emperor suddenly contacted him, and he didn’t know what had happened. In the projection, Lilian’s expression was somewhat solemn, "Have you reached god-level?" "How do you know?" Lin Muyu frowned, instinctively thinking that the Demon Emperor had spies among the humans. But after thinking about it, he realized he was overthinking. No one among the humans knew he had reached god-level. This was the vast ocean; where would spies come from? But how did the Demon Emperor know? Lilian said in a low voice, "Just now, the world’s will had a brief revival, which also affected the Abyss." Lin Muyu suddenly understood. The Abyss world is a fragment world attached to the small world, a parasite of the small world, so the world’s will naturally affects them as well. Seeing Lin Muyu’s displeasure, Lilian explained, "You don’t need to deny it; I have no ill intentions." Lin Muyu did not hide it, "I did ascend to god-level. If that’s all you wanted to know, rest assured, our cooperation remains effective." Lilian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Just now, shortly after the world’s will revived, something happened on my side." "What happened?" "The higher demons of my faction sent a message; they might descend." "Descend? Are real demons coming?" Lin Muyu thought to himself but did not show much concern on the surface. Now he understood the rules of this world. Even if demons were to descend, they would at most be super god-level. Moreover, the descent point could only be in deep space, and they would have to find the connection point to the Abyss to truly reach the Abyss world. Deep space is not easy to navigate; they could die halfway. In deep space, there are super god-level monsters, and they might encounter other races or various dangers left from ancient wars. Seeing Lin Muyu’s calm expression, Lilian said, "Aren’t you worried? My higher demons are at least super god-level." "Is worrying useful?" Lin Muyu smiled slightly, then sharply said, "Actually, you’re more worried about yourself." Lilian’s expression changed; Lin Muyu had hit the nail on the head. She was indeed worried about herself. Her bloodline was special, a mix of human and demon. If discovered, neither humans nor demons would spare her. She lacked confidence in hiding her bloodline from the higher demons. Her worry was mostly for this reason, and Lin Muyu had seen through it. Lilian said solemnly, "You’re right; I am worried." "Moreover, if they arrive, my power will disappear. They will command all Abyss demons to attack the humans." "Of course, with you around, the humans won’t be exterminated, but there will be countless casualties." "You don’t want to see that, do you?" Lin Muyu knew Lilian was telling the truth. The humans wouldn’t be exterminated, but casualties were inevitable. The Shenxia people had just survived a disaster and were rebuilding; it was best not to face more turmoil. Lin Muyu was also curious why the higher demons chose to descend now. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮 So much time had passed; why now? He voiced his question. Lilian said, "Because the world’s will revived just now, activating a barrier in the Abyss." "This barrier is hidden in the deepest part of the Abyss, unknown even to me." "If the world’s will truly revives, their plan to invade the world will fail. So they are rushing to descend, making a final effort." Lin Muyu chuckled, "Ignorance is bliss. If they knew the complexity of this world, they would have given up." If the higher demons knew how complex this world was and that beings like Antares existed, they wouldn’t have sent the fragment world. Fragment worlds are not easily obtained; they are strategic resources for a race. Each use of a fragment world must yield results. The invasion of this world had already taken too much time. If the world’s will hadn’t revived, the demons might have waited longer. They have long lifespans, waiting hundreds of years is no problem. But now, the revival of the world’s will could lead to the failure of the invasion plan and the loss of a fragment world. The demons didn’t want to bear such a loss. So upon learning this, they chose to descend and notified the Demon Emperor. They ordered the Demon Emperor to welcome them in deep space. Lin Muyu roughly guessed the Demon Emperor’s intention. There were only two options left: either Lin Muyu becomes the master of the world before their descent, fully revives the world’s will, and devours the fragment world. That would mean the invasion truly failed, and the higher demons wouldn’t need to descend. Or they could intercept them, preventing their descent. As for killing them, Lilian hadn’t even considered it. It was clear that the higher demons were at least super god-level, and she was no match for them. Lin Muyu pondered for a moment and slowly asked, "When will they descend?"
