**Chapter 1977: Longevity, How Difficult It Is**
Lord Wu watched Lin Moyu being teleported away with an incredulous look.
She muttered to herself, "It's over, there really is going to be a new master."
"A new master is coming!"
"A new master is coming."
She repeated the same words over and over, clearly showing her unease.
At the foot of the mountain, Saint Sovereign Hao couldn't help but let out a roar.
The power of the Saint Sovereign erupted uncontrollably, and for a moment, Saint Sovereign Hao lost his composure.
As a result, the entire village seemed to have experienced a terrible storm, with houses almost being blown away.
The old ancestors were blown hundreds of meters away by the storm, landing heavily on the ground in a very sorry state.
In this world of rules, only a Saint Sovereign could exert some power.
Those powerful old ancestors were just ordinary people with slightly stronger bodies.
Saint Sovereign Hao's momentary loss of control made them extremely embarrassed.
But none of them dared to confront Saint Sovereign Hao, as it would be asking for trouble.
"The Inheritance Tower, it's all lit up."
"That kid is going to get the supreme inheritance."
"My God, so many of us, for so many years, are not as good as a newcomer."
"We've all lived in vain."
"I'm not exaggerating, everyone here, including myself, is a waste!"
The tenth level of the Inheritance Tower, a place even Lord Wu, the artifact spirit, could not enter.
A space sealed for countless years finally welcomed a new guest.
From ancient times to the present, fewer than five people have qualified to come here.
Lin Moyu carefully examined the space. It wasn't large and could be seen at a glance.
A thin layer of mist filled the space, but it didn't obstruct the view.
In the center of the space floated an enormous pearl, the very one at the top of the Inheritance Tower.
Seeing it up close was very different from seeing it from a distance outside Cloud Mist Mountain.
Lin Moyu's eyes showed a hint of curiosity. This pearl gave him a sense of familiarity.
"It looks somewhat similar to the pearls of Princess Luoshen!" Lin Moyu thought to himself.
The pearls of Princess Luoshen should also be from ancient times. It seems that the strong people of ancient times had a special fondness for pearls.
Suddenly, the pearl emitted light, and all the mist in the tenth level space was sucked into the pearl.
The entire space became extremely bright and clear.
Ancient symbols appeared around the space, and then the space transformed, turning into a starry sky.
Countless stars shone brightly, dazzling and splendid.
Numerous cultivators shuttled back and forth in the starry sky, each powerful and incredibly fast.
Some rode magical treasures, some flew alone, and some shuttled through space.
The starry sky before him was far more prosperous than the current starry sky.
Each galaxy here had several stars and hundreds of planets.
Such galaxies were numerous and astonishingly abundant.
This also brought vast resources, enough to cultivate countless cultivators.
Lin Moyu's eyes were filled with shock, "This is the great world of ancient times, so prosperous!"
The pearl shone brightly, and a figure walked out of the light.
He had a dignified demeanor and well-defined features. Just one look, and Lin Moyu could tell he must have been in a high position for a long time.
His gaze swept across the starry sky, seemingly with a sense of nostalgia, and finally fell on Lin Moyu.
At that moment, Lin Moyu felt as if he was being seen through.
Even the Saint Sovereigns and Supremes he had encountered before had never given him this feeling. Lin Moyu immediately realized that the person before him was a Heavenly Sovereign.
The previous master of the Inheritance Tower, the Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign.
Unexpectedly, the Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign had left a trace of his soul consciousness here.
Lin Moyu immediately saluted, "Junior Lin Moyu greets the Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign."
The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign smiled, "Those who can come here are all smart people."
His words implied that he was not surprised Lin Moyu could guess his identity.
The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign then sighed, "Such a starry sky should be gone by now."
Lin Moyu's mood also became heavy with his words, "The starry sky is still there, but it's not as prosperous."
The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign sighed, "War is always cruel."
His words seemed to carry infinite power, and with just a simple sentence, he could evoke emotions in others. Lin Moyu couldn't help but sigh, "But sometimes, it has to be fought."
"Yes, it has to be fought!" The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign turned and asked, "How many years have passed since our era?"
He had been asleep and didn't know the passage of time, only that their era had ended.
Lin Moyu calculated, "About two million years."
The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign was not surprised, "It's been quite a long time, two million years. Even without that war, I should have died by now."
Lin Moyu was shocked, "Can't a Heavenly Sovereign achieve immortality?"
The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign let out a low laugh, "Immortality, how difficult it is. A Saint Sovereign can live for 100,000 years, a Supreme for 200,000 years, and even a Heavenly Sovereign only for 500,000 years."
Lin Moyu was shocked, "In your era, a Saint Sovereign could live for 100,000 years."
The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign was a bit surprised, "Can't the current Saint Sovereigns live for 100,000 years?"
Lin Moyu shook his head, "No, now they can live at most 50,000 years, and most can't even reach 40,000 years."
The Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign frowned, "Let me see!"
He looked up at the sky, and his aura suddenly became sharp.
In the starry sky, it was as if a huge black hole had opened, and a terrifying aura flowed out from the black hole.
Lin Moyu's body suddenly felt heavy, almost making him fall to the ground.
The Purple Gold Body shone brightly, and the soul world that had just formed into the shape of a rule world was trembling.
This power represented supreme and unparalleled might.
Lin Moyu barely lifted his head, his gaze penetrating the black hole, seeing the scene on the other side.
"Great World Runes!" Lin Moyu trembled in his heart. He actually saw the Great World Runes in the real world.
The power of a Heavenly Sovereign was so strong that even a trace of soul consciousness could easily open a passage to the Great World Runes.
It was imaginable that if the Illusory Mist Heavenly Sovereign's true body were here, he might not just look at the Great World Runes but could truly reach the space where the Great World Runes were located.
At the moment the black hole opened, the entire rule world shook violently, and an invisible force fell from the sky.
The old ancestors who had just stood up were once again pressed to the ground.
They lay on the ground, prostrating themselves, extremely embarrassed.
Even Saint Sovereign Hao almost fell to the ground, barely managing to stand.
"What happened!" Saint Sovereign Hao was horrified. This power far exceeded his imagination.
At this moment, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness, feeling like an ant, extremely insignificant.
At the same time, he began to worry about Lin Moyu, "Please don't let anything happen to him!"
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't get the inheritance, just come back alive."
Saint Sovereign Hao kept muttering in his heart, even regretting bringing Lin Moyu here.
On the seventh level of the Inheritance Tower, Lord Wu looked up and murmured, "Old master, it's the old master's aura."
"Old master, you didn't leave after all."
"I didn't speak ill of you before, please don't be angry, Little Wu is very obedient!"
Lin Moyu saw the Great World Runes again, and the cracks on the Great World Runes were becoming more severe.
