Chapter 405

He successfully passed through the barrier, walked across the small bridge, and arrived at the main gate of the manor.

When he saw the manor's main gate, Lin Moyu paused in his tracks.

A scepter was carved onto the gate.

The shape of the scepter was exactly the same as the scepter of creation; to be precise, the shaft of the scepter was exactly the same.

The scepter of creation on the gate had an additional hexagonal gemstone on it.

Lin Moyu knew that this was the life core that the scepter of creation lacked.

Only by obtaining the life core could the scepter of creation be made complete.

Pushing the gate gently, the manor's main gate opened automatically, and Lin Moyu walked inside.

After he entered, the manor's main gate closed automatically.

The furnishings in the manor were extremely simple, consisting of just a small garden without even a single house.

Only, there were no flowers right now, only a lawn.

In the center of the garden stood a statue, its hand loosely cupped as if holding something.

Lin Moyu looked around the garden a few times, but found nothing unusual, and finally stopped in front of the statue.

The statue was in the likeness of a woman, very delicate and lifelike.

Judging by the statue, the woman was very beautiful.

Lin Moyu couldn't make out anything, and even his Detection Spell didn't elicit any response.

In this world, the Detection Spell would always yield some feedback, more or less.

Even if it was just a name.

Things that didn't even trigger a response from the Detection Spell were quite rare.

This was enough to prove that this statue was out of the ordinary.

Lin Moyu inspected it for a moment, and finally, his gaze fell on the statue's loosely cupped hand.

Lin Moyu took out the scepter of creation and placed it in its hand.

The scepter of creation, which Dongfang Yao couldn't even touch, rested steadily in the statue's hand.

The scepter of creation burst with dazzling light, causing the entire statue to shimmer and glow.

Lin Moyu took a couple of steps back. Although he didn't feel the slightest threat, he still maintained his due vigilance.

Amidst the dazzling light, the statue transformed into a woman.

Her appearance was no different from that of a human woman.

She was a woman so beautiful and holy that it was difficult to describe in words.

Her beauty was very unique, noble and pure, as if she did not belong to this world.

Holding the scepter of creation, the woman's gaze was gentle, and her voice was soft, "Hello, human."

Lin Moyu asked, "May I ask who you are?"

The woman said softly, "I was once the God of Life."

Lin Moyu felt a sudden numbness wash over him, a chill rising from the soles of his feet.

He had made all kinds of guesses about the scepter of creation.

The most likely possibility was that it was a legendary-grade weapon.

—Requesting flowers

After all, the monarchs scepter he possessed was a legendary-grade weapon.

He never expected that because of it, he would actually meet a god.

Wait…

Lin Moyu caught a different meaning in her words.

She said, "once"…

A hint of sorrow appeared in the God of Life's beautiful eyes, and at that instant, a deep, uncontrollable sadness welled up in Lin Moyu's heart.

The domain god stone spun of its own accord, unleashing a surge of murderous intent that jolted Lin Moyu's spirit, instantly snapping him back to his senses.

Lin Moyu felt a wave of lingering fear. The other party hadn't said or done anything; she had merely expressed a tiny bit of emotion, yet he was already affected.

Were gods really this terrifying?

The God of Life spoke with a hint of apology, "I am sorry, I failed to control my emotions for a moment."

She walked slowly, coming to a spot where flowers should have been planted.

With a gentle wave of the scepter of creation in her hand, a vast number of flowers scrambled to emerge from the ground, rapidly growing and blossoming.

Then, she walked to several other spots and did the same.

…

Soon, the garden was filled with flowers of all colors.

The fragrance of flowers filled the air, and the entire garden was bursting with color.

Lin Moyu was already dumbfounded. Was this the power of a god?

Could the God of Life really manipulate life itself?

The woman returned gracefully to stand before Lin Moyu, "It has been a long time since I last saw this sight. This might be the last time I ever look upon it."

"Human, did you know? Originally, the world outside was not called the [Corpse Realm]."

Lin Moyu said, "According to our human records, it was because of a great war and an extremely terrifying skill that it turned into the [Corpse Realm]."

The God of Life sighed, "The one who unleashed that skill was also a god."

"He destroyed my world, turning it into a dead land."

"He killed everyone from the three races, killed me, and also killed himself."

"Although that skill was powerful, the price was far too high."

Lin Moyu felt his hair stand on end as he listened.

Wasn't it a war between the three races? How were even gods involved in it?

And they even used a skill that resulted in mutual destruction.

A skill that could even kill a god was indeed terrifying to the extreme.

Lin Moyu thought for a moment and finally asked the question he had always wanted to know, "Respected God of Life, may I ask what kind of existence a god truly is?"

The God of Life chuckled, "Little human, the mysteries of the gods cannot be spoken of. You will slowly find out in the future."

Clearly, she had no intention of answering Lin Moyu's question.

Unwilling to give up, Lin Moyu continued to press, "Between a god and the god-grade powerhouses of our human race, who is stronger?"

The God of Life laughed softly, seemingly finding Lin Moyu's question very amusing.

"The god-grade of the humans, the demon kings of the Abyss, the dragon kings of the Dragon Race, and we gods are all existences of the same level."

"As for who is stronger, that depends on who has walked further at this level."

This answer was not much different from what Meng Anwen had once said.

In the end, strength still depends on oneself.

Lin Moyu's heart settled slightly. In that case, gods were not as overwhelmingly powerful as he had imagined.

"Then, what about you…"

Lin Moyu continued to ask his second question.

Chapter 375: The Reason for That Battle, Forbidden Skill

The God of Life smiled again.

Lin Moyu had to admit that her smile was incredibly beautiful, the most beautiful he had ever seen in his life.

It was too perfect, unlike any woman of the mortal world, carrying a sense of unreality.

She began to move again, walking toward a part of the garden.

This time, Lin Moyu followed her. He did not sense any malice from her.

With a gentle wave of the God of Life's hand, petals flew up, arranged in varying heights to form a set of steps.

"The god-grade of your human race is like these steps."

"With every step forward, you become stronger. There is a saying of 'taking a single step to ascend to heaven.' A difference of a single level is like the difference between heaven and earth."

"We gods are divided into three tiers: low, mid, and high. I was a high-tier god, which is roughly equivalent to a level 97 god-grade powerhouse of your human race."

Meng Anwen and the other two were all level 95 god-grade powerhouses, already at the pinnacle of the human race.

Even if Meng Anwen and the other two combined, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat the level 97 God of Life.

At the god-grade level, a single level's difference made a massive difference.

It was hard to imagine just how intense that war back then must have been.

Even a God of Life this strong was killed.

With another wave of the God of Life's hand, a large number of petals flew out, forming a series of images.

Some of the petals formed demons, some formed the Dragon Race, and some formed the human race.

In addition to the three races, several more gods appeared.

One of them was the God of Life before him.

The God of Life used the petals to depict the battle situation at that time for Lin Moyu.

It was indeed an incredibly fierce battle, to the point that even the world was shattered.

It was almost a chaotic free-for-all between the three races and the gods.

The God of Life said, "The root cause of that war back then was actually this."

The God of Life raised the scepter of creation in her hand.

Lin Moyu was startled. It was actually for the scepter of creation.

What kind of magical power did this small scepter possess to cause such a massive upheaval?

The God of Life said, "At the beginning of the war, I was not yet the God of Life."

"It was only after I obtained the scepter of creation that I became the God of Life."

As the God of Life spoke, her beautiful eyes looked over.

Only then did Lin Moyu suddenly realize the true function of the scepter of creation.

This was something that can allow someone to become the God of Life.

The value of such a treasure far exceeded that of a legendary-grade weapon.

Its value was simply immeasurable.

No wonder it triggered a great war.

Lin Moyu said, "If a god obtains the scepter, they can become the God of Life. But what use is it if our human race obtains it?"

The God of Life smiled and said, "It is of even greater use to humans. Humans can comprehend the power within the scepter, giving them a chance to Super God."

In a leisurely tone, the God of Life explained the cause and outcome of that great war.

She spoke neither too fast nor too slow, with extreme elegance.

Lin Moyu listened carefully and fully understood after hearing it once.

That great war back then had all started because of a single, small scepter of creation.

The previous God of Life had died unexpectedly, leaving behind the scepter of creation.

For a god, obtaining the scepter of creation would allow them to receive the inheritance of the God of Life, thereby becoming the new God of Life.
