**Chapter 1290: About Ancient Times**
Lin Moyu corrected Zhu Qiwu's words, "It's not preparing to revive; it's already in the process of reviving."
Zhu Qiwu looked at Lin Moyu, signaling him to continue.
Lin Moyu shared his thoughts, "Saying 'revive' isn't quite accurate. It should be said that it never truly died but was severely injured and fell into a deep sleep. More precisely, it is awakening."
"During its slumber, it has been accumulating power through the ancient tomb."
"Now that it has accumulated enough power, it has officially begun to awaken."
"This can be seen from the previously dry fountain, which has started to spout water again, and the water it spouts is the Water of Death."
Zhu Qiwu said in a deep voice, "If we take away all the Water of Death from the fountain, can we stop its awakening?"
Lin Moyu shook his head, "I've thought about this, but I don't think it will work, for three reasons."
"First, the Water of Death isn't spouting because it wants to awaken, but because it has accumulated too much power, causing it to overflow and spout again."
"Second, I clashed with its soul. Even though it was just its instinctual consciousness, I was completely defeated. If it weren't for good luck, I would have died there. I can feel that its soul is already complete and very powerful."
"Third, the Water of Death in the fountain can't be taken away. At least, I don't have the ability to do so. You can try finding someone else; maybe it will work."
Zhu Qiwu fell into deep thought again.
Lin Moyu's reasoning made sense. The first reason was entirely plausible.
It seemed he had reversed the cause and effect.
But this reason didn't change the outcome; the result was the same.
The second reason made Zhu Qiwu feel troubled. He knew about Lin Moyu's soul.
At the peak of the fourth grade, with a jade soul tinged with purple.
One could say Lin Moyu's soul had reached the limit of the god sovereign realm. Although his soul power wasn't as strong as a god sovereign's, ordinary god sovereigns couldn't kill Lin Moyu on the soul level.
Even Zhu Qiwu would need to use some soul-level killing tools to kill Lin Moyu on the soul level.
In terms of soul defense, Lin Moyu was more than capable of protecting himself, even if his offensive capabilities were lacking.
Yet, he was still completely defeated, indicating that the opponent's soul power was overwhelmingly superior to Lin Moyu's.
This also indirectly showed that the opponent was extremely powerful.
At their level, the soul was the most important aspect.
As long as the soul was intact, the physical body could be rebuilt without much difficulty.
Zhu Qiwu concluded that as long as the opponent's soul awakened, true revival wouldn't be far off.
As for the third reason, it wasn't significant.
Because the first reason already explained that the Water of Death was an excess product.
So the third reason was more like an additional point.
Zhu Qiwu asked in a deep voice, "Is there anything else you missed?"
Lin Moyu thought for a moment, confirmed he hadn't missed anything, and then asked, "Senior, I have some questions."
Zhu Qiwu nodded, "Ask away."
Having just received such important information from Lin Moyu, Zhu Qiwu felt it wouldn't be appropriate to refuse his questions. Lin Moyu seized this opportunity to ask.
Lin Moyu thought carefully. He knew his questions were limited, so he avoided asking trivial ones.
However, he also knew that he couldn't ask about matters of great importance, as Zhu Qiwu wouldn't answer those. This made his questioning quite delicate.
After some thought, Lin Moyu asked, "I want to know about ancient times."
Zhu Qiwu snorted, "Curiosity again?"
Lin Moyu smiled but didn't speak.
Zhu Qiwu asked, "What do you want to know?"
Lin Moyu replied, "Anything you can tell me."
Zhu Qiwu stared at Lin Moyu for a full two seconds, "You sly kid, getting craftier."
Lin Moyu corrected Zhu Qiwu again, "It's not craftiness; it's a bit of cleverness. Although I'm very curious, I also know my limits. Of course, in front of you, senior, my little cleverness is nothing."
Lin Moyu handed the initiative to Zhu Qiwu, letting him decide what could be said and what couldn't. Information about ancient times was blank in the Human Emperor Network.
Perhaps with higher authority, one could access some information, but Lin Moyu knew that truly important information wouldn't be available for public viewing in the Human Emperor Network.
Zhu Qiwu held a high position and was the highest commander of the Vermilion Bird Battlefield. The Vermilion Bird Battlefield also had some connections to ancient times.
Moreover, after the mysterious manor incident, Zhu Qiwu had taken Lin Moyu to meet a mysterious person.
From the brief conversation with the mysterious person...
Lin Moyu was certain that Zhu Qiwu knew some secrets about ancient times.
Lin Moyu wanted to analyze Zhu Qiwu's words and combine them with his own knowledge to draw inferences.
He was now quite sure that he had some connection to a certain power from ancient times.
If the side that controlled the skeletons had a life-and-death battle with the human race in ancient times...
Then how would the human race's higher-ups view him, who controlled this power?
But he couldn't ask such questions directly, so he could only infer and guess through other matters.
Zhu Qiwu smiled, "Alright, I'll tell you some things about ancient times."
Lin Moyu immediately perked up his ears and listened attentively.
Zhu Qiwu closed his eyes and pondered, seemingly considering what could be said and what couldn't.
After a few moments, Zhu Qiwu's voice slowly emerged, "Ancient times were a very old era."
"To understand ancient times, you first need to distinguish between different eras."
"We divide time into the Primordial Era, the Ancient Era, the Near Ancient Era, and the Present Era."
"The present era belongs to the War God Xiao Zhantian. Before Xiao Zhantian, about 50,000 to 100,000 years ago, was the Near Ancient Era."
"It was Xiao Zhantian's emergence that ended the Near Ancient Era."
"The time of the Ancient Era is untraceable. I once studied it carefully and concluded that it was roughly between 500,000 to several million years ago, though not entirely accurate."
"As for the Primordial Era, it's even more ancient and not worth mentioning."
"Each era ends due to significant events, often because of a great disaster. It could be a natural disaster or a man-made one."
"In the Ancient Era, there seemed to have been a great war that affected a vast area."
"It was this war that triggered a great calamity, a massive disaster that truly ended that era."
Lin Moyu couldn't help but ask, "Was it a disaster like the one caused by War God Xiao Zhantian?"
Zhu Qiwu denied Lin Moyu's words, "No, it was a far greater disaster."
"After that disaster, the Great World was nearly destroyed and took countless years to recover."
"The races within the Great World almost perished, with very few survivors."
"Because of this, there is very little information about the Ancient Era. Only in rare records can we find some clues."
"We don't know the cause of that great war. By 'we,' I mean all races."
"Perhaps the Dragon Clan has some records of the Ancient Era, but not much."
Zhu Qiwu spoke slowly and clearly.
Lin Moyu listened intently, rarely interrupting unless he couldn't help it.
Zhu Qiwu explained in detail, sharing everything he could without holding back.
