Chapter 668
Having walked all the way here, how could he be willing to just leave?
With Antares's dragon scale in hand, he believed there were very few places in this world that could trap him to death.
At worst, he could just activate the dragon scale and flee for his life.
The divine palace gates opened automatically, welcoming him inside like a guest.
The inside of the palace was even more spacious than it appeared from the outside; upon entering, there was a massive garden planted with many trees.
These trees swayed in the wind and snow.
But strangely, no matter how heavy the snow was, it left no trace on them.
Every corner of the palace was exceptionally clean.
The layout of the garden was highly orderly, neat yet aesthetically pleasing.
"This is a deity who loves cleanliness, perhaps even having a germaphobic obsession."
"At the same time, this deity is highly likely to be female."
The sound of wind chimes was even stronger here.
A gust of wind blew, causing a continuous, melodious clinking.
Wind chimes—Lin Moyu saw them hanging everywhere in the garden.
Whether on the trees or in every corner.
Crucially, even as the sounds of these wind chimes blended together, they did not seem chaotic in the slightest.
However, the current sound of the wind chimes was just the purest sound of wind chimes, no longer carrying that power of law that directly reached the soul.
Lin Moyu became even more convinced of his guess. This should be a female deity, and moreover, one who loved cleanliness and wind chimes.
Just as he was thinking this, a beam of light spilled over, turning the entire garden into a magnificent sight.
Within the light, a man dressed in long robes was slowly walking forward.
Lin Moyu was stunned; he had guessed wrong.
It was actually a male.
Lin Moyu could tell that the man was not a true body, but was formed from gathered elements.
However, there was no mistake that he was a deity, as he exuded an aura unique to deities.
"Hello, Five-Star Divine General of the human race!" The deity was very polite to Lin Moyu, revealing Lin Moyu's identity as a Five-Star Divine General in one breath, which surprised Lin Moyu somewhat.
He hadn't worn his military badge on his shoulder, so how did the other party know?
The deity continued, "No need to be surprised. I have fought side-by-side with many Five-Star Divine Generals of your human race, so I am very familiar with the aura of a Five-Star Divine General."
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Kunlun, the Great God of the Kunlun Mountains."
Lin Moyu was truly shocked this time.
He looked at him with immense surprise; he was actually a Great God.
A Great God was an existence one level higher than a high-tier deity, equivalent to a Half-step Super God of the human race.
He hadn't expected such an existence to be in the Kunlun Divine Palace; he had still underestimated him.
Lin Moyu did not doubt the other party's identity and spoke, "Lin Moyu, Five-Star Divine General of the human race, greets Great God Kunlun."
He suddenly made a gesturing motion of invitation. "My true body is still deep in slumber, and there is nothing much here to entertain you with, so I will take you on a tour of the divine palace. Please do not mind."
How could Lin Moyu mind? He still had many questions in his heart that he wanted to ask Great God Kunlun.
Whether your true body is asleep is none of my business, as long as you can talk.
However, Lin Moyu did not speak directly. They were not familiar yet, and crucially, he had not yet figured out the other party's temperament.
Speaking up rashly would not be wise.
Great God Kunlun led Lin Moyu toward the interior of the divine palace. "Your strength is beyond my expectations."
Lin Moyu replied very modestly, "My strength is nothing much."
Great God Kunlun shook his head. "No, even back in those years, you would have been one of the most outstanding."
Lin Moyu pondered in his heart which year "those years" he spoke of actually referred to.
He estimated it must be very distant.
At least thousands of years.
Perhaps those years buried by time.
Great God Kunlun continued, "In our era, geniuses emerged in abundance. As long as one wasn't an idiot, they could become a top Professional. Those with slightly better aptitude could become god-level. From class awakening to god-level, the fastest only needed one or two years."
Lin Moyu felt as if he were listening to a myth; from class awakening to god-level in just one or two years.
Was this a joke?
"How could it be so fast!" Lin Moyu was somewhat incredulous.
Great God Kunlun chuckled. "That came with a price. For that, we paid far too much, and this world paid far too much."
"The price was so great that it was almost unbearable."
"But not paying it was not an option either."
Lin Moyu listened silently. Such a price was likely terrifying beyond imagination.
Great God Kunlun suddenly stopped, looked at the falling snow in the sky, and let out a long sigh. "But, it was all worth it!"
A gentle breeze blew, and the pleasant sound of wind chimes rang out once again.
Great God Kunlun smiled. "Doesn't it sound lovely?"
Lin Moyu nodded. "A very beautiful melody."
He spoke the truth, very sincerely.
Great God Kunlun also agreed with Lin Moyu's words. "It is indeed beautiful. I have listened to it for so many years, yet I have never grown tired of it."
"Just now, did you think I should be a female?"
Lin Moyu's lip twitched slightly, and he did not respond.
This was not something to reply to; speaking carelessly might offend him.
Great God Kunlun said, "It's fine. Anyone would think so."
"The garden was arranged by my wife, and the wind chimes were also hung by her. She liked wind chimes very much."
"What a pity, she can no longer hear them."
At this point, Great God Kunlun sighed again.
Lin Moyu thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "The great war back then was very brutal, wasn't it?"
Great God Kunlun turned to look at Lin Moyu, staring for a moment. "It seems you know a bit."
"I know you have many questions, including that array in the Kunlun Mountains."
"Make no mistake, from the first day you entered the Dungeon, I have been watching you."
"Even your killing of the Kunlun Snow God was witnessed by me."
"However, I still cannot tell you right now."
Lin Moyu asked, "Is it because I am still too weak?"
Great God Kunlun nodded. "Your talent is excellent, but you are not yet strong enough."
"Then when will I be qualified to know?"
"Wait until you can master a law."
Lin Moyu's heart shuddered as he slowly uttered four words: "Half-step Super God!"
Chapter 643: Hard to Say, It Depends!
Everyone's perspective is different, and the world they see is also different.
When Lin Moyu had just awakened his class, reaching the Third Awakening was the pinnacle.
After meeting Bai Yiyuan, he discovered that god-level was the true goal.
Now, he had to master a law and become a Half-step Super God to be qualified to know the ancient secrets.
For most Professionals, stepping into god-level was already something far out of reach, and a Half-step Super God was something they wouldn't even dare to dream of.
But to Lin Moyu, a Half-step Super God was not enough, far from enough.
That elderly man suspected to be 'Laozi' hoped Lin Moyu could become the guide of this era.
What was a guide of the era? Even becoming a Super God might not be enough, so what did a Half-step Super God amount to?
It could only be said that this Great God Kunlun in front of him, compared to the elderly man in the [Primordial Secret Realm], was not just a little bit lacking in perspective.
"Is a Half-step Super God all it takes to be qualified?" Lin Moyu said softly.
These words made Great God Kunlun frown. His expression had always been gentle, but now he felt that Lin Moyu was more or less somewhat arrogant.
Great God Kunlun did not refute Lin Moyu, but his tone became slightly deeper. "Mastering a law is very difficult; do not think of this matter too simply. Even in our time, when laws were manifest, very few people could master them."
Lin Moyu naturally knew that mastering a law was not easy, but he had confidence. "I will achieve it."
Great God Kunlun looked at Lin Moyu, lost in thought.
In his eyes, Lin Moyu was somewhat arrogant, not knowing the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth.
If a Half-step Super God were truly that easy, why had only one Half-step Super God appeared in the Human World over the past century?
Moreover, only a few Half-step Super Gods had appeared in history, with occasional gaps in between.
Great God Kunlun's memories surged; even in his era, Half-step Super Gods were not considered numerous.
He spoke slowly, "Having confidence is a good thing, but do not be arrogant."
Lin Moyu nodded. "I understand."
Lin Moyu's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. Having witnessed too many powerful existences, although a Great God was worthy of his respect, there was no need to be overly obsequious.
What's more, this was just a Great God whose true body was asleep, and there was no telling when he would wake up.
His mindset had already changed imperceptibly.
Great God Kunlun said no more and shifted the topic. "You have passed the final assessment of the Dungeon. I would like to ask you to do something for me."
Lin Moyu knew the main event had arrived. "Please speak. What is it that I can do?"
Lin Moyu did not agree directly; he wanted to hear what it was first before deciding whether to agree.
If it was something dangerous, Lin Moyu would absolutely refuse.
Great God Kunlun said in a deep voice, "Before I speak, I want to ask: can I trust you?"
Lin Moyu spoke the truth, "Hard to say, it depends on the situation."
"For example, if what you ask me to do is very dangerous and might threaten my life."
"Or perhaps, what you want me to do might harm the human race."
Lin Moyu listed two possibilities. The former was fine; Lin Moyu would simply refuse.
As for the second, not only would Lin Moyu refuse, but he might also do something extreme.
With Great God Kunlun's true body asleep, it was hard to say how much divine power this elemental body could exert.
In fact, Great God Kunlun had taken a risk by bringing Lin Moyu into the Kunlun Divine Palace.
If Lin Moyu harbored any ill intent, it was hard to say what would happen.
Lin Moyu's combat power was not poor; he had slaughtered deities as well as many god-level powerhouses.
His title as a Five-Star Divine General was no sham.
Similarly, Lin Moyu had also taken a risk by agreeing to enter the Kunlun Divine Palace.
What if Great God Kunlun harbored some ill intent toward him?
After all, this was a Great God.
