**Chapter 1781: Abyss Demon Sovereign, Substitute Puppet**
The voice of the Abyss Demon Sovereign was extremely unpleasant, yet it contained immense power.
Just hearing his voice made Lin Moryu's heart involuntarily skip a few beats.
The Abyss Demon Sovereign had come personally to kill him.
Zhu Qiwu whispered, "I'll hold him off. You head in that direction."
He gave Lin Moryu a look, signaling him to leave.
Lin Moryu shook his head, "I can't leave, and I won't leave."
Zhu Qiwu's eyes showed clear anxiety. Facing a Saint Sovereign, it made no difference whether Lin Moryu was there or not.
He could hold off the Abyss Demon Sovereign for a while, and if Lin Moryu was lucky, he might escape.
Lin Moryu, however, smiled and said, "A dignified Saint Sovereign attacking a God King like me, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
The sinister voice rang out again, "Who dares to laugh at me?"
The Abyssal Fire instantly expanded, like a prison, firmly trapping Lin Moryu and Zhu Qiwu.
Zhu Qiwu's eyes were resolute, gathering rules, clearly ready to fight to the death.
Lin Moryu also prepared to act. Regardless of whether he could win, he had to try.
He had the scales of the Abyssal Dragon Demon and could use Corpse Explosion.
The Abyss Demon Sovereign was indeed a Saint Sovereign, but a Saint Sovereign was also an Other Shore Realm being.
In theory, using the corpse of the Abyssal Dragon Demon as material could also injure the Abyss Demon Sovereign.
If he added the Myriad Colors Water, there might be a chance to kill him.
A God King killing a Saint Sovereign might sound like a fantasy, but Lin Moryu felt it was worth a try.
Suddenly, his soul stirred, and he said to Zhu Qiwu, "It's okay now."
A point of golden light suddenly exploded in the flames, followed by countless points of golden light, extinguishing the Abyssal Fire wherever they passed.
"Heavenly Saint Sovereign!"
The Abyss Demon Sovereign let out a low roar, clearly furious, but also a bit surprised.
Perhaps he was surprised at how quickly the Heavenly Saint Sovereign arrived.
Amidst the myriad points of golden light, a figure gradually solidified. The Heavenly Saint Sovereign, with a gentle smile, looked towards a certain spot in the void, "Abyss Demon Sovereign, after thousands of years, do you want me to act again?"
A few seconds later, a low growl came from the Abyssal Fire, which gradually disappeared as the Abyss Demon Sovereign left.
From their conversation, Lin Moryu understood that the two had fought thousands of years ago.
And it seemed the Heavenly Saint Sovereign had won, as the Abyss Demon Sovereign now dared not fight him again.
Zhu Qiwu was about to speak, but the Heavenly Saint Sovereign waved him off.
The Heavenly Saint Sovereign raised his hand, and a golden star appeared in his palm.
The star flew out from his palm, like a golden sun, illuminating the entire starry sky.
Bathed in the golden light, Lin Moryu and Zhu Qiwu felt as if they were soaking in a hot spring, extremely comfortable.
Then, wisps of black gas rose from Lin Moryu's body, dissolving in the golden light.
Lin Moryu asked, "What is this?"
With his soul realm, he hadn't even sensed the black gas.
The Heavenly Saint Sovereign explained, "This is a mark left by the Abyss Demon Sovereign on you."
"Just a mark?" Lin Moryu felt there was more to it.
The Heavenly Saint Sovereign further explained, "The Abyss Demon Sovereign's mark is special. He can not only track you through it but also ignore distance and directly attack you through the mark."
"Of course, such attacks aren't very powerful and won't be fatal."
"But they can disrupt your cultivation at critical moments, causing your efforts to be in vain."
Lin Moryu felt a chill in his heart, "As expected of the Abyss Demon Sovereign, his methods are indeed insidious and hard to guard against."
Killing intent rose in his eyes. When he had enough strength in the future, he would definitely kill him.
The Heavenly Saint Sovereign shook his head with a smile, "This is just a minor trick. The Abyss Demon Sovereign's true methods are far more troublesome. Even I find them troublesome, so I came immediately upon learning you had encountered him."
As he spoke, the Heavenly Saint Sovereign produced a palm-sized puppet, "This is a Substitute Puppet. If you encounter a fatal threat, it can die in your place."
A Substitute Puppet was a truly valuable item, more precious than a God Sovereign-level treasure.
Having it was like having an extra life.
Lin Moryu immediately imprinted his soul mark on the Substitute Puppet, which then turned into a stream of light and entered his forehead.
In his soul world, a puppet appeared beside his soul.
The puppet was like a mass of gas, constantly changing, occasionally reflecting Lin Moryu's appearance.
It emitted a peculiar aura, seemingly connected to some rule of the world.
If there was a fatal danger, whether to his body or soul, it would die in Lin Moryu's place.
Moreover, it could be controlled by Lin Moryu or left to act on its own.
Being able to control it meant it wouldn't affect Lin Moryu's innate abilities.
Lin Moryu would naturally prioritize using his innate abilities, only using the Substitute Puppet when his two rebirth chances were exhausted.
Lin Moryu bowed to the Heavenly Saint Sovereign, "Thank you, Heavenly Saint Sovereign."
The Heavenly Saint Sovereign waved his hand, "This is just one of the protections. The Talisman Saint Sovereign, the Hao Saint Sovereign, and the Killing Saint Sovereign are all preparing protective items for you. They will be delivered to you soon."
"Until you receive these protective items, do not leave the Human Race's star domain. Do you understand?"
The Heavenly Saint Sovereign's tone carried a hint of caution.
This also showed that the Heavenly Saint Sovereign was wary of the Abyss Demon Sovereign's methods.
Lin Moryu became vigilant, "I will be careful."
The Heavenly Saint Sovereign nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Zhu Qiwu, "Qiwu, you've been away from home for over two thousand years. It's time to go back and take a look."
Zhu Qiwu sighed with emotion, "Indeed, it's time to go back. Over two thousand years, things have changed. I wonder how they are now."
The Heavenly Saint Sovereign left, but not before reminding Lin Moryu once more.
Lin Moryu and Zhu Qiwu returned to Fortress No. 10.
After formally saying their goodbyes, Lin Moryu returned alone to Fortress No. 1.
During the long teleportation, countless stars were left behind.
After continuous battles, Lin Moryu felt a bit tired deep inside.
This was unavoidable and something that would be experienced during cultivation.
People have emotions, and no matter how firm one's Dao heart is, there are times when emotions fluctuate.
That's why, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, one needs to experience life, to go through the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and to use ordinary life to smooth out the ups and downs of cultivation.
Many powerful cultivators, whether God Kings or God Sovereigns, often hide their identities and enter the world of ordinary people.
They live with ordinary people, eating, drinking, sleeping, and growing old together.
Like Zhu Qiwu, who once, as a God King, went to several small worlds.
In those small worlds, he lived as an ordinary person, fully experiencing birth, aging, illness, and death.
Only after such experiences did he transcend again, making his Dao heart even firmer.
Lin Moryu had once been an ordinary person, climbing step by step to where he was now, so he didn't need such experiences.
But he also felt tired at times and needed rest.
Fortress No. 1 was still the busiest place in the Human Race's territory in the Vermilion Bird Battlefield.
In the backyard of the trading center, Yuzhu had already prepared tea.
Seeing Lin Moryu return, Yuzhu's beautiful face bloomed like a flower, radiant and captivating.
