Chapter 1957. The ground shattered, and a divine dragon flew out from underground.

The divine dragon was illusory, still composed of soul power, draped in glowing flames like clouds and mist.

Lin Moyu narrowed his eyes. "It has finally come out."

Inside the head of the divine dragon was a Dragon Pearl; it was precisely the fourth Dragon Pearl of the Heavenly Dragon.

"You deserve to die!" The divine dragon let out a roar, its illusory eyes filled with rage.

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "You have indeed gained wisdom, but unfortunately, you aren't very smart!"

With a thought, the Undead Legion charged at the divine dragon simultaneously.

A full fifty Undead Legions, totaling fifty million Skeleton Divine Generals led by fifty undead commanders, equivalent to fifty experts in the Supreme Realm, launched a siege on the divine dragon at the same time.

The Dragon Pearl of the Heavenly Dragon was very strong, possessing a certain level of wisdom and the ability to evolve a Small World, not weaker than an ordinary Supreme Realm expert.

Yet, facing the onslaught of fifty entities equivalent to the Supreme Realm, it could not defend itself at all.

Dragon roars sounded incessantly; the divine dragon evolved from the Dragon Pearl struggled frantically, but it was to no avail.

No matter how it resisted, it was futile, and in the blink of an eye, it was torn to shreds by the Undead Legion.

The divine dragon vanished, leaving only a Dragon Pearl burning with glowing flames in the sky.

The Dragon Pearl spun around; it wanted to escape, but was knocked back by the Undead Legion time and time again.

The Dragon Pearl was like a trapped beast, making its final struggle.

Lin Moyu did not go to capture the Dragon Pearl; he took out the Dragon-Trapping Ball given to him by the Heavenly Dragon and threw it toward the Dragon Pearl.

The Dragon Pearl let out a shriek; it seemed to be very afraid of the Dragon-Trapping Ball.

The Dragon-Trapping Ball generated infinite suction power, transforming into a divine dragon that bit directly onto the Dragon Pearl, and no matter how the Dragon Pearl struggled, it was to no avail.

Lin Moyu clapped his hands. "Finally done!"

Chapter 2330: It Would Be Abnormal If There Were No One.

The Dragon Pearl was taken away by the Dragon-Trapping Ball, and this world collapsed along with it. In the blink of an eye, Lin Moyu returned to the starry sky.

This trip was smoother than expected; it took only three years to successfully retrieve the fourth Dragon Pearl.

Thinking about how he had spent over a hundred years in the outer realms without discovering the fourth Dragon Pearl, it really was a matter of fate.

If there is fate, one will naturally obtain it; without fate, racking one's brain for it is useless.

Lin Moyu brought the Dragon Pearl and returned to the Boundary Land.

The Heavenly Dragon seemed to sense the aura of the Dragon Pearl. Its dragon eyes stared unblinkingly at Lin Moyu, filled with disbelief. "So fast?"

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "You don't know my efficiency yet?"

The Heavenly Dragon hadn't been able to retrieve a Dragon Pearl for many years, not even one. Now, however, they were being retrieved by Lin Moyu one after another; this efficiency was indeed ridiculously high.

Lin Moyu threw the Dragon-Trapping Ball back to the Heavenly Dragon. "How about that? I found the Dragon Pearl for you so quickly; is there any reward?"

The Heavenly Dragon said testily, "What kind of reward do you still want? This is a transaction between us; I will pay the price that should be paid."

Lin Moyu smiled. "Can't we have any other relationship between us besides a transactional one?"

"Other relationships?" The Heavenly Dragon looked at Lin Moyu, its gaze flickering.

Lin Moyu smiled slightly. "Antares and I are good friends, and I think I can become friends with you too."

Friends? The Heavenly Dragon's eyes flickered uncertainly, as if it were recalling something.

After a moment, it slowly shook its head. "I don't need friends."

Lin Moyu looked at it and said word by word, "Have you been betrayed by a friend?"

The Heavenly Dragon snorted softly and did not answer.

Lin Moyu said, "Antares once said that when he comes out, he will slaughter his way to the Dragon Race and soak the earth with the blood of the Dragon Race."

"I also promised Antares that I would accompany him to slaughter my way into the Dragon Race."

The Heavenly Dragon let out an exclamation. "He really said that?"

The Heavenly Dragon's breathing became much heavier, continuously exhaling white mist.

Lin Moyu nodded. "He said it. I can feel that Antares, like you, has hatred—the hatred of being betrayed by a friend."

The Heavenly Dragon suddenly laughed, laughing very recklessly. "Indeed, the hatred of being betrayed by a friend; that is why we don't need friends."

Its voice carried a touch of desolation, and Lin Moyu could feel this desolation, tinged with a bit of sorrow.

Lin Moyu said, "Not every friend will betray you. Some friends will never betray you, and some friends can even die for each other."

The Heavenly Dragon sighed long and hard. "With your strength, if you want to slaughter your way to the Dragon Race, any divine dragon that comes along could kill you, as easily as crushing an ant."

Lin Moyu said, "I know the Dragon Race is very strong. There are not only Heavenly Venerables in the Dragon Race, but also Dao Venerables, but so what?"

"As long as Antares wants to do it, I have promised him, so I will definitely do it, even if it means death."

The Heavenly Dragon stared at Lin Moyu unblinkingly; from its eyes, Lin Moyu felt its change.

Perhaps it was his words that moved it. The Heavenly Dragon's eyes showed a clear change, becoming a bit softer, and that ever-present vigilance lessened significantly.

Actually, the Heavenly Dragon's eyes were somewhat similar to Antares', and Lin Moyu guessed that they must have suffered some unpleasant things within the Dragon Race.

One could hear it from its words; that kind of hatred is hard to conceal.

After a while, the Heavenly Dragon exhaled a long breath. "What reward do you want?"

Lin Moyu smiled. "It's actually not really a reward; I just have some questions I'd like to ask you."

"Of course, I know your rules; just tell me what you can."

The Heavenly Dragon nodded slowly. "Ask."

Lin Moyu said, "In another thousand years, the Dou Realm will arrive, and we have discovered that there seems to be someone behind the Dou Realm."

After hearing this, the Heavenly Dragon suddenly laughed out loud. "What's strange about that? It's normal for there to be someone; it would be abnormal if there were no one."

Lin Moyu was shocked, as if he had heard some great secret.

It is normal for there to be someone; it would be abnormal if there were no one.

The Heavenly Dragon chuckled. "When you leave the Great World one day, you will naturally understand; knowing it now has no meaning."

"What I can tell you is that even if there is someone behind the Dou Realm, that person might not necessarily get involved."

"At most, he can play some tricks, but those tricks are harmless and won't change anything."

Lin Moyu asked, "Back when the Black Blood Great World fought against the Great World, there was someone behind the Black Blood Great World. If not for him, perhaps the Great World would not have reached this point."

The Heavenly Dragon shook its head. "That's different."

"What's different?"

"The identity of the person behind the Black Blood Great World is different."

Lin Moyu wanted to press further, but the Heavenly Dragon interrupted him. "Don't ask any more; the events of the past are already in the past. I can tell you that even if there is someone behind the Dou Realm, they will not interfere. Even if they do interfere, at most, it will only be some minor actions that won't change anything."

"Of course, if you can't even block the other party's minor actions, then you can only blame yourself!"

With just a few short sentences, Lin Moyu was completely certain that there was indeed someone behind the Dou Realm, but that person would not truly interfere, at most just pulling some small stunts.

Lin Moyu really wanted to know what kind of minor actions they would be, but since the Heavenly Dragon wouldn't say, he could only let things take their course.

The Heavenly Dragon asked, "Besides this question, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Lin Moyu said, "The Small World where Antares was located has left; it was taken to the Boundary Sea by someone. I happened to see it when I was in the Boundary Sea."

The Heavenly Dragon's eyes changed again. "It really left?"

Lin Moyu nodded. "Yes."

The Heavenly Dragon laughed loudly. "Good, good, good! It's good that it left; it's good that it left!"

Lin Moyu said, "Is Antares really about to come out?"

The Heavenly Dragon shouted loudly, "Soon, soon! You old bastards, just wait for me; sooner or later, I will slaughter my way back."

At this moment, the Heavenly Dragon was incomparably excited, almost insane; obviously, the matter of Antares leaving was extremely important.

Lin Moyu didn't know what it meant, but regardless, he knew that leaving was a good thing.

After the Heavenly Dragon calmed down, Lin Moyu said, "I have no other questions. Regarding that senior of the Human Race, do you want me to bring the person over, or what should I do?"

The Heavenly Dragon said, "No rush. Wait until I finish absorbing the Dragon Pearl."

The Heavenly Dragon opened the Dragon-Trapping Ball and released the Dragon Pearl inside.

The Dragon Pearl shivered and vibrated non-stop.

A suppressed dragon roar faintly sounded; obviously, it was very afraid.

The Heavenly Dragon sneered repeatedly. "There really are people who don't know whether they are living or dying, daring to play tricks on my Dragon Pearl; they are truly tired of living."

"I have remembered your aura. When I find you in the future, I will definitely skin you alive."

The Dragon Pearl is the most precious thing of the Dragon Race, more valuable than any treasure.

Daring to play tricks on the Dragon Pearl is truly an endless feud.

Antares and the Heavenly Dragon were punished, and even their Dragon Pearls were stripped away; one can imagine how severe this punishment was.

Lin Moyu said, "You mean the Dragon Pearl didn't evolve intelligence naturally, but someone played tricks on it?"

The Heavenly Dragon nodded. "Yes, that guy deserves to die. If I had found it a few tens of thousands of years later, perhaps this Dragon Pearl would really no longer belong to me."

"But fortunately, now that the Dragon Pearl has been retrieved, that guy did not succeed."

The Heavenly Dragon explained it to Lin Moyu very patiently: once a Dragon Pearl develops self-awareness, it is possible for it to evolve into an independent world.

The Dragon Pearl will be nurtured within the world; the process of nurturing is very long, but if it succeeds, it can become a member of the Dragon Race.

At that time, this Dragon Pearl would have nothing to do with the Heavenly Dragon.

The Heavenly Dragon's loss would be extremely great; being able to do such a thing naturally means an endless feud.

Lin Moyu asked, "Then can you find the other party?"

The Heavenly Dragon said, "The aura has been remembered; I will naturally find them when the time comes."

Lin Moyu took out the few gemstones he had obtained earlier. "What are these things?"

Chapter 2331: Heavenly Venerable, Not Bad.

The Heavenly Dragon looked at the gemstones, carrying a bit of disdain. "Just a few pieces of the trashiest Dragon Crystals; this guy probably feared attracting others' attention and didn't even dare to use better Dragon Crystals."

"Using a few pieces of the trashiest Dragon Crystals, how many years would it take to nurture the Dragon Pearl to maturity? What a piece of trash."

"It seems this guy's status within the clan isn't very high either."

The Heavenly Dragon complained; Lin Moyu listened attentively without saying a word. From the Heavenly Dragon's words, one could actually analyze many things.

After the Heavenly Dragon finished speaking, Lin Moyu spoke up. "Do you think that guy might also be acting under someone else's instruction?"

The Heavenly Dragon looked over. "How so?"

Lin Moyu said, "You also said that the person who did this does not have a high status; how would someone with a low status dare to provoke you? So I think there should be someone else behind the scenes instructing them; you can investigate carefully when the time comes."

The Heavenly Dragon frowned. "That's troublesome. If he has sworn an oath, no matter what I do, it's impossible to make him say it."

The aura on the Dragon Pearl can only track the guy who played the tricks, not the person behind them.

Lin Moyu said, "I can actually try this; you also know that I can perform Resurrection of the Dead."

When asking the Heavenly Dragon for corpses before, Lin Moyu had once demonstrated the Resurrection of the Dead technique.

The Heavenly Dragon thought of this technique, and its eyes lit up. "Haha, you are really something, not bad, not bad. Later, when I find that guy and hack him to pieces, I will bring the corpse back to you."

Lin Moyu smiled. "Happy to be of service."

The Heavenly Dragon laughed non-stop; obviously, it was in a very good mood.

It exhaled Dragon Breath, refining the Dragon Pearl.

The faint intelligence that had just been born within the Dragon Pearl quickly disintegrated and collapsed under the Heavenly Dragon's refining.

Lin Moyu could faintly hear the screaming coming from the Dragon Pearl; that kind of sound came from the soul and was very miserable.
