Chapter 595

To it, Lin Mohan was far too insignificant, and it had never paid her any attention.

Now, however, a hint of surprise appeared in its gaze.

Then, Antares suddenly leaned its head closer, its massive nose sniffing Lin Mohan.

Each of its breaths was like a category 18 hurricane, blowing so hard that Lin Mohan could barely stand.

Lin Mohan did not dare to move; facing such an existence, she knew her place.

However, Lin Mohan was not afraid. From the conversation between Emperor Di and Antares just now, she already knew that the other party harbored no malice toward her.

This lack of malice was simply because she didn't register in its eyes at all; she was far too insignificant.

Antares's voice rang out, "You have his scent on you."

Lin Mohan froze. His scent?

She could not understand these words, nor could Emperor Di.

Antares spoke again, "What is your relationship with Lin Moyu?"

Lin Mohan's expression turned strange. Why did it suddenly bring up her younger brother? She said clearly, "Moyu is my younger brother."

Antares let out a long "oh". "No wonder. No wonder you have Little Lin's scent in your bloodline. You are actual siblings."

Lin Mohan asked in surprise, "My Lord, you know Moyu?"

Antares snorted. "Of course I do. That brat is no good."

Lin Mohan did not dare to say a word. If anyone else had said that, she might have gotten angry, but since it was an existence like Antares saying it, she could only let it slide.

Antares grunted twice. "That brat is full of bad ideas. As his older sister, you probably aren't much better."

"But both of your talents are quite good. That brat has extreme combat power, while you level up fast enough. You're both decent."

Just then, an illusory figure appeared in front of Antares. A transparent Antares, only the size of a fist, entered Lin Mohan's line of sight.

"This is a wisp of my will. It usually sleeps and will only awaken when you are in danger."

"According to the deal, I will keep you safe, but I will not kill anyone for you."

"So do not disturb me normally."

Even as it cursed Lin Moyu, it still split off a wisp of its will.

Cursing aside, a deal was a deal. Antares was very trustworthy.

The wisp of will transformed into a transparent Antares and entered Lin Mohan's mental world, falling fast asleep.

Emperor Di let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Lord Antares."

Antares snorted. "This is just a transaction between us. Don't think I don't know that you kept the Dragon Pearl hidden for a hundred years."

"Although a hundred years is just a nap to this deity, I don't quite like this behavior of yours."

"But whatever. I probably won't see you again anyway. Respect for the dead, so I won't hold it against you this time."

Emperor Di offered a polite smile. Although Antares's words were unpleasant to hear, he did not dare to argue.

Moreover, Antares was telling the truth. No matter the outcome of this trip, whether he lived or died, he could never return.

Lin Mohan's eyes were full of reluctance, and she was even more worried in her heart. "Teacher, is it really impossible not to go?"

Emperor Di shook his head. "No. This step, Teacher must take."

Antares said faintly, "Going is a slim chance of survival. Not going is certain death."

Emperor Di was already two hundred years old, and his end was approaching. If he didn't take a gamble now, he would never have another chance.

Rather than lingering on his last breath, he had to make a final push before all hope completely vanished.

Lin Mohan's eyes welled with tears, and she did not know what to say.

Emperor Di chuckled freely. "Don't cry. You are a god-level powerhouse now. How can a god-level powerhouse shed tears?"

"Although this trip for your teacher is a slim chance of survival, it is not entirely hopeless."

"Perhaps in the future, when you become a Super God, you will see your teacher again."

"In my cultivation room, under the stone table, there is a box. You can open it once you reach Half-step Super God. Inside lies this world's greatest secret."

At this moment, Antares snorted softly again. "You humans just love to shroud things in secrecy. It's like this now, and it was the same in the previous era."

"Why can't you just say things clearly? Making all this fuss is so troublesome."

Emperor Di smiled. "You wouldn't understand."

At this moment, he let go of everything, and his aura became calm and serene. "One last favor, Lord Antares, could you send me on my way?"

Antares said, "Seeing as you're about to die, I'll send you off then."

As soon as the words fell, a space-time portal suddenly appeared beside Emperor Di.

Emperor Di smiled and bowed to Antares. "Thank you, My Lord. May we meet again if fate permits."

"Beat it."

Emperor Di did not linger any longer and stepped into the space-time portal.

"Teacher!"

Lin Mohan's tears could no longer be held back, as memories of the past three years flooded her mind.

Emperor Di had truly dedicated himself to teaching her.

She had not expected that they would part ways here in the end.

Chapter 567: The World is a Cage, Emperor Di Goes to Crawl Through a Hole

Antares's muffled voice rumbled. "The person is already gone, what is there to cry about? I really don't understand you humans. Your lifespans are short, yet you have so many messy emotions."

Lin Mohan looked at Antares and bowed slightly. "Respected Lord Antares, can you tell me where Teacher went?"

Antares shook its head. "No."

A flat refusal. Antares showed no sentimentality whatsoever.

Lin Mohan's eyes were full of disappointment. She knew that if Antares refused to speak, she could not force it.

Lin Mohan stared straight at Antares with her large eyes.

With tears glistening in her eyes, she just watched it without saying a word.

Antares also looked back at Lin Mohan, blinked, and found that Lin Mohan was still staring at it.

After just ten seconds, Antares backed down. "Alright, alright, I'll tell you. You two siblings are equally annoying."

Lin Mohan quickly said, "Thank you, My Lord."

Antares snorted. "Let me make this clear first. This deity is doing this for Little Lin's sake, it has nothing to do with your teacher. Your teacher doesn't have that much face."

"And this deity will only say it once. Whether you can understand it or not is your business."

"Let's put it this way: the world is a cage. Once, this cage had channels to the outside, but later, those channels were closed."

"Breaking the cage became very difficult, but someone dug a hole. If one can crawl out of that hole…"

"Your teacher has now gone to crawl through that hole. Do you understand?"

Lin Mohan seemed to understand but not fully. "Is this hole very dangerous?"

"Didn't I say it before? A slim chance of survival. But it's not completely hopeless either. Once successful, the sea is wide and the sky is high," Antares said casually.

Lin Mohan was about to speak again when Antares interrupted her. "You aren't as smart as your younger brother. If it were him, he wouldn't keep asking."

"Of course, if you want to know more, come make a deal with me."

"Complete my tasks, bring me what I need, and you will get what you want."

Without even thinking, Lin Mohan immediately asked, "What do you need?"

Antares said with a hint of disdain, "You aren't qualified yet. Talk to me when you become a Half-step Super God."

Lin Mohan knew that was indeed the case. Her thoughts had been in disarray earlier because of Emperor Di.

Now she had cleared her head, and her aura changed slightly as a result.

With her mind clear again, she said, "It seems that in your eyes, My Lord, Moyu is more outstanding."

Antares said, "Indeed, he is very good, the most outstanding one this deity has ever seen."

"It is also because of him that this deity granted you the qualification to speak with me."

"Now, our conversation is over. You may go back."

"Once you become a Half-step Super God, come back and negotiate a deal with this deity."

With that, Antares closed its eyes again, and Lin Mohan felt the world before her turn completely black.

Then came the sensation of teleportation, as she was swept into a space-time portal by an irresistible force.

When her vision recovered, she found herself back in the Human World.

The familiar scent of the Human World wafted over.

"Just what kind of existence is Antares?"

A gust of wind blew, sending a shiver down Lin Mohan's spine.

In her mental world, she could sense Antares's will sleeping.

To be able to protect her with just a single wisp of will, how powerful must it be?

From Antares's words, Lin Mohan realized that it was somewhat familiar with Lin Moyu.

Moreover, Lin Moyu's standing in its eyes was completely different from anyone else's.

Thinking of her younger brother, a brilliant light flashed in Lin Mohan's eyes. "Lin Moyu is really amazing. Big Sister will definitely protect you."

"And Teacher, I believe you will definitely make it through. We will meet again in the future."

Quickly stepping out of the grief of Emperor Di's departure, Lin Mohan resumed her role as the older sister.

For Lin Moyu and for Emperor Di, she had to become stronger.

Her talent destined her to level up and grow stronger at a rapid pace.

She swore she would advance faster than anyone else.

…

Lin Moyu tirelessly ran Dungeons over and over again.

Going from level 60 to level 61 took him only half a day.

After reaching level 61, the number of skeletons in his Undead Legion reached 52,890, exceeding the 50,000 mark.

Naturally, Lin Moyu summoned the Skeleton King using 50,000 skeletons.

The Skeleton King, formed by the convergence of 50,000 skeletons, had a single attribute of 2.3 million, and a total attribute sum of 9.2 million.

The Skeleton King had grown stronger, but it was still a step away from the ten-million attribute mark of the god-level.

As the number of skeletons increased, their attributes did not increase proportionally.

There seemed to be some kind of restriction limiting the further increase of attributes.

The Skeleton King's power was already infinitely close to the god-level, enough to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with a level 89 World Boss.

If it encountered a demigod, it could also put up a fight.

It was just slightly lacking compared to a true god-level.

If enhanced by the [Strong Soldier] skill, the Skeleton King could instantly break through and possess true god-level power within 30 seconds.

As for what level it could reach, that would need to be verified through experimentation; Lin Moyu could not judge yet.

Although the Skeleton King had grown stronger, his Dungeon-clearing efficiency had already been pushed to its limit and did not get any faster.

Even though the monsters in the Dungeon were strong, whether it was the previous Skeleton King or the current one formed from 50,000 skeletons, they were all defeated in a single slash.

There was not much of a difference.

Lin Moyu had also tried summoning two Skeleton Kings using a combination of 20,000 skeletons and 30,000 skeletons.

However, with either of those Skeleton Kings, there were times when they could not instantly kill the monsters in a single blow.
