Lin Moyu suddenly understood the origin of the Yellow Earth Desert.

At the very beginning, the Yellow Earth Desert did not exist; it was formed by the combination of the Ape Monsters' laws, essence blood, and life force.

Everything belonging to the Ape Monsters had turned into yellow sand under the influence of the Curse.

The yellow sand shifted and evolved, giving rise to the Earth Law, stone-type laws, and even gathered some laws from the void.

However, the battle had not ended. After casting the Curse, the Legion Commander of the Nether Swamp had become extremely weak, with its soul nearly on the verge of dissipating.

The Curse had a price; even though the Nether Swamp was its home turf, a corresponding price had to be paid.

Following the Curse, a new wave of enemies charged in.

The number of enemies in the second wave was not large. They were also Ape Monsters, equally clad in heavy armor, but they were stronger.

Lin Moyu guessed that this second wave of charging Ape Monsters were the ones left behind, those who had reached the Lesser God Venerable realm.

But what caught Lin Moyu's attention was not these armored apes, but the great sun above their heads.

The great sun was burning with raging flames, scorching and intense.

Within the great sun, Lin Moyu could faintly hear the sound of chanting.

"Buddhist Clan!"

Lin Moyu was stunned. How could the shadow of the Buddhist Clan appear in a war from the ancient era?

It felt completely unrelated.

He had read relevant information about the Buddhist Clan in the archives and knew that the Buddhist Clan had only appeared in the current era. Even in the ancient times, before Xiao Zhantian came into the world, there was no sign of the Buddhist Clan in the Great World.

Yet, in the far more distant ancient past, he had actually heard the voice of the Buddhist Clan.

The flames within the great sun not only brought heat but also brought the power of purification; the Curse was ineffective against them.

Under the scorching flames, the temperature of the Nether Swamp rose sharply. Cracks appeared on the tombstones of the hundred squads, and some tombstones even began to burst into flames.

This great sun was too powerful; what it was burning was not merely flames, but laws.

Even the indestructible tombstones would be dissolved by these laws.

At this moment, the Legion Commander of the Nether Swamp let out a roar again. Its voice resounded through the Nether Swamp, "Great Master, please rain down boundless fury and destroy these ants who despise you!"

This voice did not sound like a Curse, yet it was extremely effective.

The Undying Flame that had been hanging in the sky suddenly moved. The Undying Flame had previously only illuminated the world, radiating its power slowly and harmoniously.

But now it had truly moved, becoming violent in an instant.

The Undying Flame transformed into a gray fire dragon, instantly flying above the great sun and coiling around it.

The great sun struggled wildly, and the sound of chanting grew louder.

The great sun seemed afraid, afraid of the Undying Flame.

Then, the gray fire dragon formed by the Undying Flame twisted with force, crushing the great sun into fragments.

The gray fire dragon opened its mouth and swallowed all the fragments, then spat them out.

Nine fireballs flew out in response, passing through the earth of the Nether Swamp and landing on the newly formed Yellow Earth Desert, becoming nine fireballs hanging in the sky.

"So that is how the fireballs on the Yellow Earth Desert came to be."

Only then did Lin Moyu learn the origin of the nine fireballs, and at the same time, he understood other things.

After the Undying Flame crushed the great sun, it did not return to the sky but rushed toward the torn rift.

It seemed very dissatisfied with this rift, roaring incessantly at it and spitting out clusters of gray flames to envelop the rift.

Within the flames, the rift closed up again, and the Nether Swamp returned to being a complete world.

The Legion Commander of the Nether Swamp cast the Curse again, cursing the second wave of enemies that had entered.

Amidst the sound of the Curse, the essence blood and laws of the second wave of enemies were all drained, and everything they were turned into the Yellow Earth Desert.

The great battle finally came to an end, and Lin Moyu, as a bystander, could not help but let out a sigh.

Although the First Army Group had been defeated, it was not a total defeat.

The First Army Group still had a chance, waiting for their Master to return.

The scene of the First Army Group fighting to the very end was deeply imprinted in Lin Moyu's soul, impossible to erase.

The tombstones under the scorching sun were slowly repairing themselves; those on the outermost perimeter had suffered the most severe damage.

The deeper the tombstone, the less damage it had sustained.

This also caused the images they recorded to vary; some records had already been destroyed at the time.

Only the tombstone of the Legion Commander of the Nether Swamp had recorded the complete process.

After this battle, Lin Moyu finally understood the cause and effect and knew the origin of the Nether Swamp.

It had existed since the ancient era, having survived the flames of war, never extinguished.

It was recovering, waiting for its Master to return.

Lin Moyu was horrified in his heart; he could no longer imagine how strong the Master referred to by the Legion Commander of the Nether Swamp could be.

Combining his own experiences, Lin Moyu felt that the Master mentioned by the Legion Commander of the Nether Swamp, the Master mentioned by the owner of the Mysterious Manor, and the Master mentioned by that general in the Ancient Tomb were likely the same person.

A powerhouse who possessed an incomparably powerful army and unimaginable strength.

But the images did not end there; they continued.

Lin Moyu's consciousness had not yet returned; he was still overlooking the land.

The Nether Swamp fell into silence, and the Undying Flame returned to its normal state, continuing to radiate over the land.

Under its illumination, the heavily damaged swamp was slowly recovering.

The Legion Commander of the Nether Swamp also returned to its own tomb.

Lin Moyu's heart seemed to sink along with the entire Nether Swamp.

He fell into a peculiar, drowsy state where he lost track of the passage of time.

He did not know how long had passed when the sound of metal friction startled Lin Moyu awake.

His awakening seemed to trigger the awakening of the entire Nether Swamp.

The Ape Monsters that had originally died came back to life; they stood up and wandered across the land.

The rotting corpses in the swamp also revived. The rotting corpses and the Ape Monsters were irreconcilable enemies, and they began to break out in one great battle after another, year after year without end.

After death, the Ape Monsters, under the illumination of the Undying Flame, had their Soul Fire reignited, but they had no consciousness, leaving only their final instincts, becoming puppets that only knew how to fight.

The battles between the Ape Monsters and the rotting corpses were mostly indecisive, but this was, after all, the home turf of the rotting corpses.

Over countless years, the number of apes gradually decreased, but the speed of this decrease was very, very slow.

For the rotting corpses to kill all the Ape Monsters would require countless years.

Time passed just like that, and the great battles continued.

Beneath the Nether Swamp, countless monsters appeared in the Yellow Earth Desert.

The Yellow Earth Desert was created based on the essence blood, laws, and consciousness of the Ape Monsters.

Everything within it contained the subconscious of the Ape Monsters.

Combined with countless reasons, the Yellow Earth Desert had its own rules.

Until one day, a group of people broke into the Yellow Earth Desert, fighting their way through, and finally arrived at the Nether Swamp.

They went deep into the Nether Swamp and engaged in fierce battles with the Ape Monsters.

These people were the 23 Lesser God Venerables, including Xu Qingyang.

A large number of Ape Monsters were killed by them, eventually drawing out the Lesser God Venerable realm Ape Monsters, and they were beaten into a panicked retreat.

These Lesser God Venerables basically all died, with no survivors.

Only a few escaped the pursuit of the Ape Monsters.

But in the end, they also died in the swamp.

Xu Qingyang was a very lucky one among them; the soul bead he carried was of a very high grade, blocking the swamp's gaze.

"Eh, it's her."

In these sequences of images, Lin Moyu saw a person, Princess Yu Qingrou!

Chapter 1379: Clear Gratitude and Grudges, Collect Interest First

Lin Moyu knew he could not be mistaken; it really was Princess Yu Qingrou.

Regardless of her demeanor, appearance, or even temperament, she was exactly the same as Princess Yu Qingrou.

In Xu Qingyang's words, this Princess Yu Qingrou was known as Princess Rou. Her strength was quite formidable, and she had escaped the pursuit of the Ape Monsters time and time again.

But when everyone else had died, and more and more Ape Monsters surrounded and intercepted her, coupled with the interference of the fog, she was helpless.

Finally, like many others, she fled into the swamp, arrived at the center of the swamp, and found the tombstone.

Lin Moyu knew that the reason she was in such a sorry state was that the Nether Swamp restricted her Law of Space and also restricted flight.

Otherwise, no matter how many Ape Monsters there were, they wouldn't have been able to catch her.

With the Law of Space, she could come and go freely, leaving no trace, and it was almost impossible to be killed.

Ending up in this ghostly place could only be considered Princess Yu Qingrou's bad luck.

Princess Rou did not sit and wait for death at the tombstone; she took out her jade box and sacrificed that small sword from the jade box.

The small sword was very powerful, erupting with astonishing power that almost tore the space apart.

Princess Rou slipped into the space torn open by the small sword and disappeared.

After Princess Rou left, that small sword returned to the box and fell to the foot of the tombstone.

"She didn't die… She ultimately escaped after all."

Lin Moyu murmured in his heart, "Princess Rou didn't die, but what is going on with Princess Yu Qingrou?"

"Princess Rou is a Lesser God Venerable, while Princess Yu Qingrou is only a True God Rank 9; the two differ significantly."

"Could it be that an accident happened during the escape process?"

Other than that, Lin Moyu could not think of any other reason.

He could be certain that the Princess Rou in the images and the Princess Yu Qingrou he met were the same person.

There are similar people in the world, but people who are exactly the same are rare.

Even with 99.99% similarity, in front of a True God Rank 9 powerhouse, that 0.01% difference could be seen.

In the images, Lin Moyu saw the Lesser God Venerable from the Sand Tribe.

He had truly died, leaving nothing behind.

The one from the Buddhist Clan had escaped relatively far, dying only after reaching the swamp of the 71st squad, and he did indeed leave something behind, which was a Buddha statue.

The swamp of the 71st squad happened to be one that he had not searched yet.

However, looking at Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang's current progress, it was ten to one that he would not be able to find it.

Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang did not dare to enter the center of the swamp at all; even searching for another thousand years would be useless.

If his luck was bad and he attracted an Ape Monster, he might even end up dead.

The images before his eyes disappeared, and his consciousness returned to his body.

At the same time, a piece of information was transmitted, and Lin Moyu knew how to leave.

There were two ways to leave. One was that every hundred years, an exit would appear in the sky.

By passing through the gap, one could leave the Nether Swamp and return directly to the Great World.

This gap was also a wound left behind by that great battle years ago, which had not healed over many years.

Even though one could not fly here, with the ability of a Lesser God Venerable, jumping up tens of thousands of meters to enter the exit was no problem.
