Chapter 379: Safe Return, The Dongfang Family Escapes Disaster

The teleportation lasted a full five minutes, crossing a long distance. Lin

Lin Moyu and Dongfang Yao finally returned to the human world.

As the teleportation ended, their vision had not yet recovered, but the familiar feeling had already been transmitted.

When they could see clearly, they saw Dongfang Yi, Dongfang Li, and another person Lin Moyu did not recognize, Dongfang Zhan.

“Father!”

With a cry, Dongfang Yao threw herself into Dongfang Yi’s arms.

Tears streamed down her face, “I thought I would never see you again.”

Dongfang Yi gently patted Dongfang Yao’s back, “It’s okay, it’s okay.”

His daughter had returned alive, and as a father, he was overjoyed.

For over a month, he had been in despair.

The Dongfang family was under threat, and his daughter might never return. Under such double pressure, he was close to collapse. Even though he was a god-level expert, what did it matter? Even as the ruler, what did it matter?

At the end of the day, he was just a person, a father.

Lin Moyu’s gaze turned slightly cold, “This time, your Dongfang family needs to give me an explanation.”

They had returned, but the matter was not over.

He had almost not made it back. If it weren’t for good luck…

This matter was not over.

Lin Moyu was not magnanimous to that extent.

Although he still owed them a favor, a favor could not compare to his life.

Moreover, he had brought Dongfang Yao back safely, repaying the favor more than enough.

Hearing Lin Moyu’s slightly cold words, Dongfang Yi also knew that this time it was their Dongfang family’s fault.

He immediately said, “Indeed, this matter was our Dongfang family’s fault, almost causing the death of General Lin.”

“Rest assured, General Lin, we will definitely give you an explanation.”

“At the same time, we will also provide sufficient compensation.”

Lin Moyu did not press further. Since Dongfang Yi had said so, he would naturally keep his word.

At this moment, the family crisis was resolved, and Dongfang Yao had returned safely. Both Dongfang Li and Dongfang Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.

Dongfang Li chuckled, “General Lin, your sister has been waiting outside the palace for over a month. Shouldn’t you go see her?”

“My sister is here? Where?”

Through the teleportation array, they returned to the surface. Dongfang Yi said, “The teleportation array leading outside the palace was destroyed by your sister. Shall I fly you over?”

“No need, I’ll go myself.”

Lin Moyu finished speaking, and the Wings of Lightning spread open, carrying him into the sky.

After identifying the direction, Lin Moyu sensed Lin Moxuan’s presence.

The Wings of Lightning trembled slightly, and his body shot forward like lightning.

After Lin Moyu left, Dongfang Yi said, “This time, it was a blessing in disguise. Yao’er returned safely, and the family crisis was resolved.”

Dongfang Li said softly, “Since the founding of the Divine Summer Empire over a thousand years ago, this is the first time our Dongfang family has faced such a great calamity. We are truly ashamed of our ancestors.”

Dongfang Zhan also shook his head and sighed, “It is our incompetence.”

Dongfang Yao looked at the three of them, speaking one after another like a play, and was confused about what had happened.

Dongfang Yi pulled her aside, “Yao’er, tell us in detail what happened in the [Corpse Realm] over the past month.”

Dongfang Li was also very curious, “Although General Lin is powerful, he is only invincible among those of the same level. There are many powerful beings in the [Corpse Realm], especially in the central area. How did you return?”

Dongfang Yao nodded and began to recount their experiences in the [Corpse Realm].

Outside the palace, Lin Moyu appeared beside Lin Moxuan like lightning.

Seeing Lin Moyu, Lin Moxuan’s beautiful face lit up with joy, and she hugged him tightly.

Tears streamed down her face, “Xiaoyu, I knew you would be fine.”

Lin Moyu smiled, “Of course, I would be fine. How did you know I was in the [Corpse Realm]?”

Lin Moxuan had been waiting outside the palace for over a month. Lin Moyu could guess the reason.

Lin Moxuan shook her head, “I didn’t know about the [Corpse Realm]. My teacher predicted you might be in danger and told me to wait outside the palace.”

Lin Moxuan explained the situation.

It turned out that Lin Moxuan’s teacher had predicted Lin Moyu’s danger and specifically told her to wait outside the palace.

As for how to wait, there were no specific instructions, leaving it to Lin Moxuan to decide.

Unexpectedly, his sister had taken such a domineering action.

Lin Moxuan said, “Over the past month, some people from the Dongfang family tried to escape, but I drove them back.”

Lin Moyu laughed, “If something had really happened to me, would you have slaughtered the Dongfang family?”

Lin Moxuan snorted, “Of course. Not only would I take action, but Xiaoyu’s teachers would also take action.”

Over the past month, the Dongfang family had not had an easy time, with a metaphorical sword hanging over their heads.

The killing intent of the Mad God had never dissipated, and it grew stronger over time.

To the members of the royal family, it felt like the sword was getting closer to their necks.

Lin Moyu also realized that during his time in the [Corpse Realm], his family had done a lot for him.

They were ready to go to war with the Dongfang family for his sake.

Regardless of the outcome, this battle would have been earth-shattering.

As the royal family, the Dongfang family had many subordinates.

If they called for help, who knew how many god-level experts would come.

Meng Anwen and the other two also had friends, as well as the military.

If a fight broke out, the entire empire might be torn apart.

Lin Moyu realized that his life and death had unknowingly become a matter of the empire’s survival.

Lin Moxuan said, “Now that you’re safe, I can rest easy. Go see your teachers; they must be worried sick.”

Lin Moyu said softly, “What about you?”

Lin Moxuan giggled, “I have to go back and continue leveling up. I haven’t leveled up in a month. My teacher’s plan has been disrupted, and he’s probably furious.”

Her playful tone showed that she was in a good mood because Lin Moyu had returned safely.

When she mentioned her teacher, it was in a very relaxed manner, indicating that her teacher treated her well.

Lin Moyu nodded, “When will you have time?”

Lin Moxuan thought for a moment, “Although my teacher hasn’t said, I guess it will be after I reach god-level.”

Lin Moyu didn’t expect such high demands.

But given Lin Moxuan’s current leveling speed, reaching god-level didn’t seem too far off.

In less than two years, she had gone from job change to level 70 and completed three job changes.

This speed was unprecedented, and even Lin Moyu might not be able to keep up.

In the palace, Dongfang Yao recounted their experiences in the [Corpse Realm] over the past month.

She described how she was initially panicked, while Lin Moyu remained calm, even experimenting with the corpses.

Dongfang Yao felt a bit ashamed.

Their reactions were so different.

Later, they absorbed lightning and entered a mysterious secret realm.

Although Dongfang Yao didn’t know what the secret realm was, the whole process was magical.

She never expected to find such a vibrant secret realm in the [Corpse Realm].

Until the final battle, Dongfang Yao focused on opening the barrier and didn’t pay much attention.

But judging by the damage to the undead army, the battle must have been extremely intense.

Dongfang Li pondered, “Lin Moyu is too calm, far beyond ordinary people.”

“His mental strength is extraordinary, especially in the central area. I can imagine the level of opponents he faced.”

“Even for us, it would be difficult to come out unscathed.”

Dongfang Yi asked, “Yao’er, can you describe the small scepter you mentioned? Can you draw it?”

Dongfang Yao nodded and immediately took out paper and pen to draw.

Her drawing skills were good, clearly learned.

The Genesis Scepter was vividly depicted under her pen.

The others gasped in shock.

Dongfang Yi couldn’t hide his astonishment, “It’s the Genesis Scepter.”

“Unexpectedly, the Genesis Scepter, the root cause of the great battle back then, has reappeared.”

The Dongfang family, guarding the [Corpse Realm], knew some of the battle’s secrets.

They were also aware of the Genesis Scepter, the key to the Goddess of Life’s inheritance.

Dongfang Li looked at the drawing and suddenly said, “The Genesis Scepter is missing something. Yao’er, did you draw it completely?”

Dongfang Yao said, “I drew it completely. There’s nothing on the scepter.”

Dongfang Li said solemnly, “It seems the Genesis Scepter is damaged, and the Life Core is missing.”

“Without the Life Core, the Genesis Scepter is useless. Only when the two are combined can it function.”

Dongfang Yao asked, “What does the Genesis Scepter do?”

Dongfang Yi chuckled, “It gives a chance to surpass gods.”

“Ah!” Dongfang Yao covered her mouth, too shocked to speak.
