**Chapter 1219: Is This the Source of Everything?**
From this moment on, all traces of Tian Zihan in the great world were completely erased. Perhaps only in the memories of some members of the Starry Sky Spirit Clan would there be such a God King.
Lin Muyu's gaze fell on the Devouring Gold Beast Emperor beside him, "I hope you can give me an answer."
He flicked a flame, which landed on the Devouring Gold Beast Emperor.
The beast of fire, the Devouring Gold Beast Emperor, slowly opened its eyes.
After becoming a resurrected being, it prostrated on the ground, letting out a low growl.
Seeing this, Lin Muyu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he might be able to get some information.
The Devouring Gold Beast Emperor had devoured Tian Zihan's soul and should have learned a lot about the Starry Sky Spirit Clan.
But then Lin Muyu frowned. Through his connection with the resurrected being, he felt something was wrong.
The soul of the Devouring Gold Beast Emperor was lifeless, lacking any sign of intelligence—it didn't seem to have any wisdom.
It was more like a beast acting purely on instinct, without thought.
Lin Muyu asked in a low voice, "Can you speak?"
Roar!
The response was a beastly roar.
The sound was like that of a lion or tiger, somewhat imposing, but it was useless to Lin Muyu.
Lin Muyu patted his head, realizing what was going on.
Tian Zihan had been obliterated, and the [Resurrection of the Dead] spell had erased all traces of his existence.
Even the soul that had been devoured could not be restored.
Even in the soul reconstituted by the [Resurrection of the Dead] spell, there was no information about Tian Zihan.
The resurrected Devouring Gold Beast Emperor's soul was in the state it was before devouring Tian Zihan's soul—without intelligence, without thought, purely a beast acting on instinct.
It was even less intelligent than many household dogs.
But at least, as a resurrected being, it was more obedient than a dog.
Knowing he couldn't get any more information, Lin Muyu asked, "Can you control the Shuojin Source Star?"
The Devouring Gold Beast Emperor raised its head, showing some confusion in its eyes, as if it didn't understand Lin Muyu's question.
It had no wisdom, so it naturally couldn't understand the common language of the great world.
Lin Muyu had no choice but to communicate using soul consciousness.
Using soul communication could bypass language barriers.
The Devouring Gold Beast Emperor nodded its head.
As Lin Muyu had thought, it indeed had the ability to control the Shuojin stars.
However, they had never shown this ability over countless years due to their lack of wisdom.
It was precisely because of this ability that it could use the Shuojin Source Star as its new body.
Lin Muyu understood that it wasn't truly a physical body, but rather a soul temporarily residing in the Shuojin Source Star, controlling it to seal off the area, making the 6-99 region a one-way zone.
However, it was too stupid to explain its origin clearly, and even Lin Muyu's commands required multiple communications to be understood.
Lin Muyu felt helpless about this.
After repeated communications, he finally had it lift the restriction on the 6-99 region, restoring it to its usual state.
From this moment on, people outside could come in, and those inside could go out.
Lin Muyu looked up at the purple light cluster in mid-air. The Shuojin Source Star was the core of the 6-99 region.
So this purple light cluster was the core of the Shuojin Source Star.
The Shuojin essence in the Shuojin Source Star came from it. The Devouring Gold Beast Emperor couldn't explain its origin, but through communication, Lin Muyu discovered that the origin of the Devouring Gold Beasts was related to this purple light cluster.
Even the entire 6-99 region and the production of Shuojin were related to the purple light cluster.
The small light cluster, only five meters in diameter, was the true source of the 6-99 region.
Lin Muyu's eyes sparkled, his thoughts racing.
"Tian Zihan's position should not have changed after his death."
"From Tian Zihan's previous position, it can be inferred that he was absorbing the power from the light cluster."
"On the surface, the purple light cluster is just Shuojin essence. There is plenty of Shuojin essence outside, enough for him to absorb."
"Given his soul level, he couldn't absorb much Shuojin essence, so why did he go out of his way to come here?"
"Could it be that the Shuojin essence in the light cluster is different from that outside?"
Muttering to himself, Lin Muyu focused all his attention on the purple light cluster in mid-air.
All the questions should be here.
Tian Zihan's purpose in coming here should also be for this light cluster or something within it.
However, the Devouring Gold Beast Emperor, after devouring Tian Zihan's soul, did not inherit this information. Otherwise, it would not have ignored the light cluster for hundreds of years, enough time to thoroughly study it.
Lin Muyu's body slowly floated up, approaching the light cluster.
Looking at the radiant light cluster, with strands of Shuojin essence continuously flying out and dispersing into the outside world.
Cautiously, he reached out to touch the light cluster.
The light cluster felt soft, like entering cool water.
But soon, the coolness turned into a burning sensation.
"Poison..."
Lin Muyu felt the intense poison from the light cluster, the same as the poison from the Gold-Silver Stone, but even more potent and intense.
The light cluster was not only the source of Shuojin essence but also the source of the Gold-Silver Stone's poison and even the Shuojin mine.
If anyone else touched the light cluster, even a third-rank God King, they would surely die.
"No wonder Tian Zihan didn't touch the light cluster directly; he clearly knew."
The light cluster was highly toxic, but to Lin Muyu, it only caused a slight burning sensation, with no other harm.
After some attempts, Lin Muyu decided to go inside and take a look.
The purple light cluster was only five meters in diameter, not very large.
Lin Muyu entered it, his vision enveloped by purple light, making it impossible to see anything.
Bathed in the purple light, Lin Muyu felt strange, a very comfortable sensation.
The slight burning turned into warmth, warming his entire body.
With a hint of surprise, Lin Muyu moved slowly within the light cluster.
Soon, he reached the center of the light cluster and saw what was there.
A small purple gemstone, located at the very center of the light cluster.
The purple light flowed, and all the Shuojin essence originated from it.
It was the true source of the 6-99 region.
A gemstone smaller than a baby's fist, even appearing somewhat broken, was the source of the 6-99 region.
This was simply unbelievable.
Lin Muyu found it incredibly miraculous but did not immediately reach out.
No matter the situation, caution had become instinctive.
He cast a detection spell and waited for the result.
**[Unknown substance.]**
The result from the detection spell was not unexpected.
As Lin Muyu's knowledge and realm grew, encountering more things, he found that the detection spell was not omnipotent. There were many things it could not identify.
A skeleton appeared beside Lin Muyu, reaching out to grab the gemstone.
Nothing happened. The skeleton held the gemstone without any reaction, indicating it was safe.
After a few more seconds with no change, Lin Muyu finally reached out to grab the gemstone.
