Chapter 541
"Blockade this area; don't let anyone get close. This miasma of poison is too terrifying."
"Since when did Bai Yiyuan know how to use poison? And such a potent one at that."
"Heaven only knows. The name 'God of Slaughter' isn't just for show."
"Tell everyone: do not provoke Bai Yiyuan, and do not provoke Lin Moyu."
"Disband the Black Dragon Society. Investigate which members colluded with the Abyssal Demons and kill them all. Send the list of names to the Shenxia Empire."

Chapter 510: God Stone Dungeon, Matchmaking Event
The news of Bai Yiyuan and Lin Moyu forcibly breaking into the capital of Sakura Country and powerfully destroying the Black Dragon Society's headquarters quickly spread.
It rapidly caused a massive uproar.
Some felt Bai Yiyuan was too overbearing, acting without presenting any evidence, which was essentially a slap in the face to Sakura Country.
Some even escalated Bai Yiyuan's actions to the level of the Shenxia Empire itself.
They felt the Shenxia Empire was equally domineering and unreasonable.
However, many others agreed with Bai Yiyuan's methods; when it came to colluding with Abyssal Demons, there was nothing more to be said.
In the end, everyone had to admit that might makes right.
Bai Yiyuan had the might, and the Shenxia Empire had the might, so no one dared to speak up.
Not just other factions or nations.
Even Sakura Country itself didn't dare to make a sound, clearly intending to swallow this loss and keep it to themselves.
When one's strength is inferior to others, there is no other choice.
…
In the White God Courtyard, Lin Moyu was still brewing tea for Bai Yiyuan and Meng Anwen.
"Teacher, Sakura Country and our Shenxia Empire…"
Bai Yiyuan interrupted Lin Moyu, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Meng Anwen said, "Sakura Country wouldn't dare. They wouldn't dare go to war with us."
Bai Yiyuan added, "How much strength does that bunch even have? If I'm ever in a bad mood, I could wipe them out by myself."
Lin Moyu knew that Bai Yiyuan definitely had that kind of strength.
Meng Anwen laughed, "Stop boasting. You can't wipe out Sakura Country unless the old man takes action."
A look of confusion appeared in Lin Moyu's eyes. "Are there hidden experts in Sakura Country?"
Meng Anwen explained, "There is one. In Sakura Country's Ancestral Shrine, there is a God of Will. Once it awakens, it can exert Level 98 combat power for a short time, only a hair weaker than a Half-step Super God."
Lin Moyu was slightly startled. "Then why have they never used it?"
Meng Anwen chuckled, "That's a trump card; it can't be used lightly. Moreover, every time it's used, it takes at least ten years to recover, and that's provided the Ancestral Shrine and Sakura Country remain intact."
Lin Moyu asked, "How long can it stay active each time it awakens?"
Bai Yiyuan replied, "It can only last for 24 hours each time."
Twenty-four hours was quite long, enough to do many things.
For instance, destroying more than half of the Shenxia Empire's territory and causing countless casualties.
In the Shenxia Empire, no one could stop it except for that Half-step Super God.
This was the source of Sakura Country's confidence. Despite Bai Yiyuan's harsh words at the end, he actually couldn't follow through.
He hadn't expected the small Sakura Country to have such a trump card.
However, this trump card would only be used in a desperate, do-or-die situation at the brink of destruction.
The God of Will was similar to the Angelic Holy Spirit Lin Moyu had encountered in the Wind and Thunder Sea.
It was a deity formed by the convergence of a vast amount of will.
The strength of such a deity depended on the quantity and intensity of that will.
The Angelic Holy Spirit was considered weak among Gods of Will.
A will either fails to form a deity, or it starts as a Level 90 Pseudo-God upon formation.
Sakura Country had a population of at least a hundred million, far more than the Holy Mandate Sect.
Accumulated over hundreds or thousands of years, their God of Will had grown stronger and stronger.
Lin Moyu asked, "Do we have a God of Will?"
Meng Anwen shook his head. "No, our Shenxia Empire doesn't believe in those things."
Bai Yiyuan said, "We tried it once in the past, but then an ancestor left a message saying not to mess with God of Will stuff, as it would be detrimental to the Shenxia Empire."
"After that, we stopped entirely, and even the few statues we had built were torn down."
Lin Moyu found it strange; he hadn't expected such a reasoning.
New questions arose in his mind; he could ask Antares the next time they met.
He was still somewhat curious about the God of Will.
Ding!
The communicators in the three men's hands suddenly rang at the same time.
All three received the same message.
After reading it, Lin Moyu murmured, "God Stone Dungeon? What is this?"
Meng Anwen sighed softly, "Time really flies. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Bai Yiyuan took a sip of tea. "The God Stone Dungeon opens once every ten years. Every time, the military invites people to conquer the Dungeon. The rewards inside are quite good."
Lin Moyu's eyes lit up with interest. The God Stone Dungeon sounded like something formidable.
Seeing his interest, Bai Yiyuan laughed loudly and patted his shoulder. "Don't even think about it. It's not your turn for this Dungeon."
Meng Anwen explained, "Actually, the rewards are secondary. The environment in this Dungeon is complex and the combat is intense, so it can be seen as a practical combat test. Therefore, it's reserved for newcomers, serving as a sort of competition."
"As for you, this time you're invited as a guest, not to clear the Dungeon."
Lin Moyu gave an 'oh'. "Then who will be going?"
Meng Anwen said, "Most are from the military, as this Dungeon is originally under their control. Besides the military, there are also individuals recommended by various Great Families. Each family has one or two slots."
Lin Moyu asked curiously, "How do people from different families form teams?"
Those sent by the families would all be geniuses, incredibly proud.
If they were made to team up, it was hard to say if they could even cooperate.
Bai Yiyuan smiled and said, "This is a solo Dungeon; no teaming is required."
"By the way, your Yiyi will likely be there."
Lin Moyu's eyes brightened upon hearing this.
He hadn't seen Ning Yiyi for a long time. After returning this time, he had tried to contact her, but still couldn't get through.
He knew she must have been pulled away for some special training again. Living in such a Great Family wasn't actually easy.
Things like special training were almost constant.
Great Families wouldn't let their descendants fall behind others; they inevitably underwent extremely rigorous training.
Meng Anwen echoed Bai Yiyuan's words, "Yiyi is indeed very likely to go. As far as I know, that fellow Ning Tairan has been coveting the God Stone Dungeon's final reward for a long time."
Lin Moyu was curious, "What exactly is the final reward of this Dungeon?"
Meng Anwen replied, "Half a talent god stone. You already have a complete talent god stone, so this half-stone is of no use to you."
"Half a stone can be used?" Lin Moyu was puzzled. A whole god stone certainly had miraculous effects.
But half a stone could also be used?
Meng Anwen gave an affirmative answer, "It can be used, but the effect is significantly weakened. At most, there is only a 30% chance of awakening a talent."
A complete talent god stone provided a 100% chance of awakening a talent.
Half a talent god stone only had a 30% chance, and that was only if other methods were used to supplement it.
It seemed extremely unfair, but for talent awakening, even a 1% chance was a good thing.
It was useless to him, but still a treasure to others.
Bai Yiyuan grinned, "Actually, besides the completion rewards and the competition between the younger generation of the Great Families, the God Stone Dungeon has another layer of meaning."
He took on a mysterious look, "It's also a matchmaking event for the young people of the Great Families."
Lin Moyu was stunned; he hadn't expected such a thing to exist.
The young people from the families weren't just the few sent to conquer the Dungeon; a large number of other youths would also come.
These young people from various Great Families, who were usually quite arrogant, would spark different kinds of chemistry when gathered together.
There was no lack of friction, but some also became friends or even lovers.
Over time, it evolved from a youth gathering into a matchmaking event.
There were still ten days before the God Stone Dungeon opened.
According to Meng Anwen, people from the Great Families should be arriving one after another now.
The three of them were invited guests, so there was no rush to go.
The God Stone Dungeon was located in the Yuan Battlefield, near Fortress No. 4.
Meng Anwen could teleport there directly, which was only a matter of minutes.
After discussing, they decided to head there in seven days.
…
The Dungeon Hall in Xiajing Academy was always bustling with activity.
Outside the Dungeon Hall, hundreds or even thousands of people gathered, either shouting to form teams or setting up stalls to sell goods.
The students of Xiajing Academy spent most of their time here, aside from resting and attending classes.
Lin Moyu emerged from the teleportation array and walked into the Dungeon Hall.
His appearance once again drew everyone's attention, and for a moment, the Dungeon Hall became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Lin Moyu was helpless; this was what happened when one became famous.
"Junior Lin!"
A pleasant voice rang in his ear.
Lin Moyu turned to look and smiled slightly. "Hello, Senior Shu."
Chapter 511: Kunlun Divine Palace, Hidden Dungeon
Shu Han was as elegant as ever, smiling faintly and exuding a certain noble aura.
Shu Han came from a very good family background; her grandfather was the God of Medicine.
He was the only God-level alchemist in the entire human race, holding an extremely high status.
Her brother was also the Vice-Dean of the Alchemist College at Xiajing Academy and a genius alchemist.
He was very likely to become the second God of Medicine.
With the two of them, Shu Han's status was actually very high.
Lin Moyu never quite understood why Shu Han would come to work as a guide or commentator; she shouldn't be short on points.
Or was it just for fun?
Shu Han didn't explain, and Lin Moyu naturally wouldn't ask.
"Junior Lin has become famous again!" Shu Han's smile was like a flower, seemingly teasing him, yet it didn't feel at all unpleasant to hear.
