Chapter 374: The Genesis Secret Realm, The Goddess of Life
The warm sun shone brightly, with birds singing and flowers blooming. Lin Moyu's world was bright, warm, and full of vitality.
Suddenly, they transitioned from the pitch-black, foul-smelling, cold, lifeless [Corpse Realm] into a completely different world.
Both Lin Moyu and Dongfang Yao felt a bit disoriented at first.
The light was too bright, making it difficult for Dongfang Yao to open her eyes.
Lin Moyu gradually adapted, and the Genesis Scepter automatically appeared, shining brilliantly.
Its pillar of light resonated with the radiance of the secret realm.
A beam of vibrant white light shot out from the Genesis Scepter, pointing towards the distance.
Lin Moyu immediately understood that it wanted him to go in that direction, with the Genesis Scepter guiding the way.
Dongfang Yao finally adjusted, her face full of astonishment, "What is this place?"
Lin Moyu observed the surroundings.
Flowers and grass covered the area, resembling a garden.
A small sun hovered in the sky, providing energy to the garden.
Lin Moyu cast a detection skill towards the small sun.
The detection skill stirred up a gentle breeze that swept through the garden.
[Genesis Secret Realm]
The detection skill simply returned these four words.
Genesis Lightning, Genesis Scepter, Genesis Secret Realm.
The three were closely connected, piquing Lin Moyu's curiosity.
Dongfang Yao followed Lin Moyu's lead and used the detection skill as well.
Now she knew that this place was called the [Genesis Secret Realm].
"Let's go."
The Wings of Lightning still had some time left, so Lin Moyu wanted to fly ahead.
Suddenly, he felt a weight pulling him down, unable to take off.
He realized that this place prohibited flight.
Since that was the case, they would have to walk.
Stepping on the soft grass, breathing in the fresh air, Dongfang Yao showed an expression of enjoyment.
"The air here is so fresh, much better than the [Corpse Realm]."
The air in the [Corpse Realm] was like a garbage dump, foul and acidic, incomparable to this place.
Small insects crawled in the garden, making faint sounds.
Ahead, the sound of water could be heard, and there was a pond behind the garden.
The pond water was clear and rippling, with fish swimming in it.
Birds flew overhead.
Everything here was brimming with vitality.
Following the guidance of the Genesis Scepter, the two passed through the garden and a small forest, eventually arriving at a manor.
The manor was nestled within the woods, surrounded by small bridges and flowing water, like a paradise secluded from the world.
Yet it was different from the paradisiacal secret realm of the Sword God.
The Sword God's secret realm felt more down-to-earth, with a hint of mortal life.
This place, however, didn't seem like a place where people lived.
For some reason, Lin Moyu just had this feeling.
The manor was encircled by flowing water, making it an independent island connected to the outside world by a small bridge.
"Ah!"
Dongfang Yao suddenly cried out.
Lin Moyu turned to see a thin, transparent barrier had appeared behind them at some point.
Dongfang Yao had been careless, bumping her head against the transparent barrier.
"Strange, when did this barrier appear?"
Lin Moyu found it odd, as there was clearly no barrier before.
He took two steps back and passed through the barrier smoothly.
Then, he stepped forward again and entered the barrier without issue.
The barrier had no effect on him.
However, Dongfang Yao couldn't enter no matter what she did.
Lin Moyu thought about the Genesis Scepter, the only difference between them.
When he tried to hand the Genesis Scepter to Dongfang Yao, she couldn't take it either.
To Dongfang Yao, the Genesis Scepter seemed like an illusion, unable to be touched, only seen.
Able to see but unable to touch, like a mirage.
After a few attempts, Dongfang Yao sighed, "Why don't you go ahead, and I'll wait outside."
Lin Moyu didn't hesitate, summoning a squad of undead to protect Dongfang Yao before proceeding alone.
He passed through the barrier smoothly, crossed the small bridge, and arrived at the manor's main gate.
Upon seeing the manor gate, Lin Moyu paused.
A scepter was carved onto the gate, its shape identical to the Genesis Scepter, or more precisely, the shaft was identical.
However, the scepter on the gate had an additional hexagonal gem.
Lin Moyu knew that this must be the Life Core missing from the Genesis Scepter.
Only by obtaining the Life Core could the Genesis Scepter become complete.
He gently pushed the door, and the manor gate opened automatically, allowing Lin Moyu to enter.
After he went in, the manor gate closed automatically.
The interior of the manor was very simple, just a small garden, without a single building.
There were no flowers, only grass.
In the center of the garden stood a statue, its hand gesturing as if holding something.
Lin Moyu looked around the garden several times but didn't notice anything unusual, so he approached the statue.
The statue depicted a woman, exquisitely crafted and lifelike.
From the statue, one could tell the woman was very beautiful.
Lin Moyu couldn't discern anything special about it, and even the detection skill didn't react.
In this world, the detection skill would always provide some feedback, even if just a name.
Objects that didn't trigger any reaction from the detection skill were rare.
This alone proved that this statue was extraordinary.
After examining it, Lin Moyu's gaze fell on the statue's gesturing hand.
He took out the Genesis Scepter and placed it in the statue's hand.
The Genesis Scepter that Dongfang Yao couldn't touch rested securely in the statue's hand.
The Genesis Scepter radiated a dazzling light, and the entire statue began to shine.
Lin Moyu took a couple of steps back, not sensing any threat, but still maintaining his guard.
Amidst the brilliant light, the statue transformed into a woman.
Her appearance was no different from a human woman.
A beautiful and sacred woman, so exquisite that words could not describe her.
She held the Genesis Scepter, her gaze gentle, her voice soft, "Hello, human."
Lin Moyu asked, "May I ask who you are?"
The woman spoke softly, "I am the former Goddess of Life."
Lin Moyu felt a chill run through him, a sense of coldness rising from his feet.
He had various guesses about the Genesis Scepter.
The most likely possibility was that it was a legendary weapon.
...Seeking fresh flowers...
After all, he possessed the Monarch's Scepter, which was a legendary weapon.
But he never imagined that he would encounter a deity.
Wait...
Lin Moyu caught a different meaning in her words.
She said "former."
Sadness flickered in the beautiful eyes of the Goddess of Life, and in that instant, an uncontrollable wave of sorrow welled up in Lin Moyu's heart.
The Domain Spirit Stone rotated of its own accord, and the killing intent within burst out, jolting Lin Moyu's spirit and instantly clearing his mind.
Lin Moyu felt a sense of dread. The deity hadn't said or done anything, only expressed a hint of emotion, yet he was already influenced.
Were deities truly this terrifying?
The Goddess of Life showed a hint of apology, "My apologies, I couldn't control my emotions for a moment."
She walked slowly to a spot where flowers should have been planted.
With a gentle wave of the Genesis Scepter in her hand, a multitude of flowers burst forth from the ground, rapidly blooming.
She then walked to a few other spots and did the same.
Soon, the garden was filled with flowers of various colors.
Fragrance permeated the air, and the garden was alive with color.
Lin Moyu was stunned. Was this the power of a deity?
The Goddess of Life, could she truly manipulate life?
The woman elegantly returned to stand before Lin Moyu, "It has been a long time since I've seen this scene. This may be the last time I see it."
"Human, did you know? The outside world was not called the [Corpse Realm] originally."
Lin Moyu said, "According to human records, it was due to a great battle and an extremely terrifying skill that transformed it into the [Corpse Realm]."
The Goddess of Life sighed, "The one who cast that skill was also a deity."
"He destroyed my world, turning it into a land of death."
"He killed everyone from the three races, killed me, and also killed himself."
"That skill was powerful, but the price was too great."
Lin Moyu felt a chill run down his spine.
Wasn't it a battle between the three races? How did deities become involved as well?
And they even used a mutually destructive skill.
This skill could kill deities, truly terrifying.
Lin Moyu pondered and finally asked the question he had always wanted to know, "Respected Goddess of Life, what kind of existence are deities?"
The Goddess of Life laughed softly, "Little human, the secrets of deities cannot be revealed. You will slowly come to understand in the future."
Clearly, she had no intention of answering Lin Moyu's question.
Lin Moyu persisted, "Between deities and the human god-level experts, who is stronger?"
The Goddess of Life laughed lightly, as if finding Lin Moyu's question amusing.
"The human god-level, the demon kings of the Abyss, the dragon kings, and we deities are all existences of the same level."
"As for who is stronger, it depends on who has walked further at this level."
This answer was not much different from what Meng Anwen had said before.
In the end, strength still depended on oneself.
Lin Moyu's heart settled a bit. So deities were not as powerful as he had imagined.
"What about you..."
Lin Moyu continued to ask his second question.
