Chapter 577

Light could pass through its body.

Is this a soul entity?

Lin Moyu could sense a dense soul power emanating from the youth.

The other party was very powerful, though exactly how powerful, he could not tell.

Lin Moyu asked in a low, guarded voice, "Who are you?"

The youth laughed heartily and jumped down from the talent god stone rockery, appearing before Lin Moyu as if in an instant. "You can call me Stone Spirit. I am the manager of this Dungeon."

"I wanted to come out just now, but you hadn't completely passed the test yet. There was no helping it, so I had to wait."

"Fortunately, you stopped at the last moment; otherwise, it would have been very troublesome."

"Do you know how dangerous you were just now? The Charm Blue Fire on that Charm Blue Flower burns the soul. Even if you have Immunity to fire elements, it's useless."

"If you had come into contact with the Charm Blue Fire, do you know what would have happened to you?"

"You would have gone 'bang,' blue light would have erupted from your whole body, and then your soul would have been burned to cinders."

"Although I could save you, why would I?"

"However, I will save you because you are the first person to reach this place in so many years."

"So, I don't want you to die; I will save you."

"Fortunately, you are quite smart; your intuition is quite sharp!"

Stone Spirit did not know how long it had been since it last spoke, and it rambled on and on by itself.

Lin Moyu remained silent throughout, watching it quietly.

Having said its fill, it suddenly looked at Lin Moyu strangely. "Hey, why aren't you saying anything? Come to think of it, you haven't spoken since you entered the Dungeon."

"It's over, it's over. No one has come for so many years, surely a mute didn't show up, right?"

"Why am I so unlucky? I just wanted to find someone to talk to."

It wailed endlessly, its expression as pained as could be.

The soul squatted in front of Lin Moyu, clutching its head, looking utterly devastated.

Then it said loudly, "Fine, a mute it is."

"Anything is better than no one coming at all."

Seeing that it had finally calmed down, Lin Moyu spoke slowly, "I am not a mute."

Chapter 548: Super Gods Are Different From Super Gods Too

Lin Moyu's voice was like music to its ears. Stone Spirit jumped ten meters high, appearing even more excited than before, almost crazed.

"Great, great! You aren't actually a mute."

"After so many years, I've finally waited for someone who can talk. This is fantastic!"

"Do you know how I've spent these years? I was about to go crazy."

"Those guys outside came round after round, but they were all too useless. They were completely incompetent and couldn't even reach this place."

"I wanted to help, but I couldn't."

"Finally, your era has produced someone useful."

Lin Moyu caught the key point in Stone Spirit's words. "You said 'our era'?"

Stone Spirit nodded. "Yes, our era was destroyed."

Lin Moyu pressed, "Why was your era destroyed?"

Stone Spirit quickly shook its head. "Can't say, can't say."

Lin Moyu saw something called fear in its eyes.

Being able to destroy an era… it must be something terrifying.

"Why can't you say it?"

Lin Moyu did not give up and continued to press.

Stone Spirit still shook its head. "Can't say, dare not say, must not say, and you don't have the qualifications to hear it either."

Lin Moyu stared at Stone Spirit, and Stone Spirit stared back at Lin Moyu.

Although it looked a bit neurotic, it was very serious.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds. Lin Moyu knew he wouldn't get anything out of it.

He quickly changed the subject. "Can you tell me your story?"

If he couldn't ask directly, he would inquire indirectly.

Perhaps he could get some useful information.

Sure enough, when he asked this, Stone Spirit seemed to have opened a floodgate and began to ramble on endlessly.

Lin Moyu didn't say much, only chiming in occasionally; most of the time he was just listening to Stone Spirit talk.

Lin Moyu didn't know how many years it had been since Stone Spirit last spoke, but it had been an entire era, at least several thousand years.

Stone Spirit had an almost endless supply of words, so much so that it bordered on neurotic.

However, it kept its mouth shut about things it shouldn't say; no matter how much Lin Moyu asked, it was useless.

It was as if there were some restriction preventing it from saying a word.

From its words, Lin Moyu heard a few key terms.

Disaster, arrival, destruction…

In summary, the previous era was destroyed because of a great disaster.

It was not a collapse of the era caused by itself.

Regarding that disaster, Stone Spirit refused to say a word.

Besides this, Lin Moyu also learned about the origin of this Dungeon.

This Dungeon was a product of an era, intended to select qualified people and grant them rewards.

According to Stone Spirit, those who reached the ninth level were only barely qualified.

Only by passing the tenth level and obtaining the complete talent god stone could one be considered a truly qualified existence.

Even in their era, they could be considered geniuses.

As for someone like Lin Moyu, he belonged to the truly elite geniuses, the pillars of the era.

Stone Spirit said in a low voice, "The people of your era are too weak. I really don't know how miserable your era will be when the disaster arrives."

"But at least someone decent has finally appeared. You're not bad."

Weak?

Lin Moyu asked, "What counts as not weak?"

Stone Spirit said, "Let's take our era as a benchmark. Super Gods as commanders, Half-step Super Gods as generals, and high-level god-tier beings as soldiers…"

Lin Moyu was speechless. Super Gods as commanders.

They didn't even have a single Super God right now, and his own goal was merely to become a Super God.

Lin Moyu felt that becoming a Super God would be enough to handle all problems.

But clearly, in Stone Spirit's words, a Super God was not enough.

Stone Spirit waved its hand. "Don't think so much. Do what you are supposed to do. Some things can only be known when your strength reaches a certain level."

"Just like you, you can't even touch the Charm Blue Flower, so what's the use?"

Lin Moyu said in a deep voice, "You said the Charm Blue Flower is the final test?"

Stone Spirit laughed, "Haven't you noticed? You can't touch anything here except this Charm Blue Flower."

"The flame burning on the Charm Blue Flower is called Charm Blue Fire, which can act directly on the soul and has a bewitching effect on the soul."

"So even if you are very careful, you will still fall for it."

"However, as long as your soul is sharp enough, you will eventually be able to wake up."

Lin Moyu asked, "What if I didn't wake up?"

Stone Spirit laughed even more happily. "That would be fun. Your soul would be burned. Of course, you wouldn't die—at least I wouldn't let you die. But if your soul is damaged, your life would be ruined. It wouldn't affect reaching the god-tier much, but forget about becoming a Super God."

Lin Moyu was shocked. He hadn't expected that he had almost lost the qualification to become a Super God.

This final test was truly impossible to guard against.

Lin Moyu felt a slight chill. "Then I've passed the final test. What is the reward?"

Stone Spirit stared at him with wide eyes. "What did you say?"

Lin Moyu said, "There were rewards for the first level, right? I passed the final level, so there should be a reward too."

Bargaining and making deals had become a habit for Lin Moyu.

Stone Spirit clapped its hands. "You have a point, but I can't give you the skill god stone; there weren't many of those to begin with."

"As for other things, your strength isn't enough. Even if I gave them to you, you wouldn't be able to handle them."

"A low-level thing like a talent god stone—giving it to you would make me lose face."

Lin Moyu said in his heart, "Then just give me the talent god stone; I won't mind."

Stone Spirit finally thought about it and slapped its head. "I'll give you this."

As it spoke, it reached out and plucked a petal from the Charm Blue Flower.

The petal was still burning with Charm Blue Fire, looking bewitchingly beautiful.

Stone Spirit handed the petal to Lin Moyu. "It can help you increase the upper limit of your soul's strength, which will be of great benefit to you in the future."

Lin Moyu hesitated slightly. "Didn't you say it would burn my soul?"

"That was the whole Charm Blue Flower; this is just one petal. Of course, you might suffer a little; after all, Charm Blue Fire isn't that easy to endure."

"But as long as you can endure it, the benefits will be immense. Do you want to become a Super God?"

Lin Moyu nodded. "I do…"

Stone Spirit held the petal in its hand, waving it constantly; the Charm Blue Fire on the petal was like nothing to it.

Stone Spirit shouted, "Then that's it! Without an ultra-strong soul, it's very difficult to become a Super God. Even if you become a Super God, you won't be among the strongest."

"Don't think that becoming a Super God is the end. The gap between Super Gods is very large."

Lin Moyu understood what it meant and chose to believe its words.

It had no reason to harm him.

Seeing Lin Moyu agree, Stone Spirit threw the Charm Blue petal directly onto Lin Moyu.

Boom!

Blue flames shot up into the sky, dyeing the entire garden an eerie blue.

Intense, severe pain swept through his entire body, and Lin Moyu was enveloped by the blue flames.

Pain, incomparably intense pain.

Since birth, including his previous life before transmigrating, Lin Moyu had never felt such intense pain.

"Is this the pain of the soul?"

"But why is my whole body burning?"

Stone Spirit laughed heartlessly on the side, watching Lin Moyu who was burning all over; Stone Spirit laughed even more unfeelingly.

"Does it hurt? It's supposed to hurt. How could burning the soul not be painful?"

"But you have to believe this: only by enduring the bitterest of the bitter can one become a master above others. If you want to become stronger, how can you not suffer a little?"
