章 1436: 1638
**Chapter 1638: How Many Can See Through the Multitudes?**
Looking at the familiar scenes, they were images from his own memory. Lin Moyu saw the campus, the city, and the houses where he grew up. They held many beautiful memories. Some memories were so beautiful that they were buried in the cruel world, unwilling to be recalled for fear of being tainted by cruelty. But now, these memories were unearthed and turned into real images.
They had never been so real, as if they truly existed. Lin Moyu couldn't bear to shatter such beauty. He watched the scenes unfold as if he were a third party. The original illusion was supposed to trap Lin Moyu, making him relive his student days. However, Lin Moyu's soul level was too high for the black water to affect him. Instead, it allowed Lin Moyu to revisit his cherished memories from a detached perspective.
Time in the illusion passed quickly, like a fast-forwarded movie of his life. When his student days ended, Lin Moyu sighed softly, closed the memories again, and buried them once more. These were his beautiful memories, and no one could take them away.
The calm sea suddenly began to stir. A rune beast burst out from the water, charging straight at him. It had a sharp arrow-like head, three meters long, and its huge body was covered in barbs. It looked more like a porcupine in the water than a fish.
Lin Moyu remained motionless. A skeletal god general appeared beside him. The rune beast's arrow-like head collided with the skeletal god general. A pale golden light shone, and illusory armor appeared on the skeletal god general. The armor glowed with golden runes, and the rune beast was instantly knocked back. The armor remained intact, and the rune beast couldn't break through it. The skeletal god general swung its sword, and the sharp white sword energy engulfed the rune beast. The rune beast was killed, turning into black raindrops that disappeared.
The water exploded, and more rune beasts charged out, transforming into arrows aimed at Lin Moyu. The skeletal god general stood in front of Lin Moyu, its golden light flashing, fully revealing the golden armor rune. The golden armor, hovering between illusion and reality, appeared faintly. The rune beasts collided with it and were all knocked back without exception. The golden armor remained unmoved, as if it felt nothing. The skeletal god general wielded its sword, continuously slaying the rune beasts.
These rune beasts, whether in speed or attack strength, had reached the sixth or even seventh tier of the Divine King realm! According to the minimum entry standard for the secret realm, a third or fourth-tier Divine King cultivator would be killed by just one rune beast. The rune beasts in the ocean were stronger than those in rivers and lakes, so most people chose to collect black water from rivers and lakes. Although the quantity of black water in rivers and lakes was less than in the ocean, it was safer. By searching more locations, they could still collect enough black water to complete the task. If they couldn't, they could wait for another heavy rain. There was no penalty for failing the task, so they could try again.
In Lin Moyu's view, compared to the previous two secret realms, the Black Rain Secret Realm was much safer. As long as there was no torrential rain, there was almost no danger. Lin Moyu pulled a portion of black water from the ocean, holding it in his hand. Once the black water left the ocean, it immediately began to solidify, forming a round mass. The outer layer became hard and smooth like glass. It looked like a black crystal, with no other special features.
When Lin Moyu opened his Soul Eye, the black crystal changed. Numerous runes appeared on its surface, flowing like water. Each rune was fragmented and broken, like shattered foam. "The Human Emperor Network issued the task to collect black water, likely to study these runes."
"Reassembling these runes would be extremely difficult."
"Perhaps the Human Emperor Network has better methods, but the difficulty remains high, almost impossible."
Lin Moyu understood what the Human Emperor Network, or rather, the big shots in the Other Shore Realm, wanted. In his view, obtaining more black water was of little use. It was nearly impossible to restore the original form of the runes from these fragments. Only by completely clearing the secret realm and revealing the final corner of the rune would the overall acquisition be useful.
With two experiences of clearing secret realms, Lin Moyu was very clear about the essence of secret realms. The entire secret realm was composed of a fragment of a rune. Even if the fragments were successfully restored, the final result would still be a fragment of a rune. A fragment of a rune was just a tiny part of an ancient rune, possibly less than one percent.
"It's really a complicated situation!"
Lin Moyu couldn't help but sigh. There were too many secrets in this world, too many things he couldn't see clearly. Among the multitudes, how many could truly see through? Most people only saw what was in their own world. Even Divine Sovereigns, who seemed to traverse the great world, were actually the same. The more he saw and knew, the smaller he felt.
A fragment of a rune, just one percent of an ancient rune, was enough to pose a deadly threat to a Divine King. If it were more complete, reaching ten percent, could it kill a Divine Sovereign? If it were even stronger, becoming half of an ancient rune, could it threaten the Other Shore Realm?
Lin Moyu thought of many possibilities in an instant, increasingly feeling the terror of ancient runes. The secret realms in the middle and high-level areas might be composed of more complete ancient runes. Compared to the secret realms in the low-level areas, those were the real targets worth strategizing.
The sound of clashing metal continued. The rune beasts kept crashing into the golden armor rune. No matter how fiercely they collided, the golden armor rune remained unmoved. The skeletal god general's soul fire continued to burn. After merging with the golden armor rune, the soul fire became the source of the golden armor rune's power. Such collisions couldn't break the golden armor rune, even if they continued for a hundred years.
The skeletal god general wielded its sword, slaying the rune beasts. Lin Moyu glanced at the still-falling heavy rain. His soul power split into nine, forming nine large hands that simultaneously grabbed nine clusters of black water. The biggest advantage of searching for black water in the ocean was the abundance of black water, eliminating the need to search everywhere.
The nine large hands grasped the nine clusters of black water. Instantly, the black water trembled violently, and runes flickered within. Strong energy surged into Lin Moyu's soul, trying to drag it into an illusion. But this time, Lin Moyu didn't want to enter the illusion. With a light hum, the power was isolated outside his soul world. With his Other Shore Realm soul, the illusionary power of the rune fragments couldn't affect him. It was entirely up to him whether he wanted to enter the illusion.
The ocean waves grew more turbulent, and more rune beasts leaped out of the water. It seemed Lin Moyu's actions had completely angered them.
