Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 2100: No One Escapes, A World of Despair

Du Zhengran’s records made Lin Moyu feel a chill down his spine.

His words were filled with despair. He was the last to die among these people. The others either died due to the rainbow absorption or couldn’t bear it and ended their own lives.

All those who came here were Divine Venerables. Regardless of their race, no one could accept the fate of their realm falling and becoming a cripple.

Lin Moyu checked other houses but found no records like Du Zhengran’s.

However, there were traces of life, indicating that the people here were filled with despair at that time.

What puzzled Lin Moyu the most was that during the decades they were here, these Divine Venerables from various races did not engage in large-scale fights but lived peacefully together.

This was very unusual, especially for races like humans and demons, who were sworn enemies and would not coexist peacefully under any circumstances.

Even when facing a life-and-death crisis, they would first fight to the death upon meeting.

“Could there be some restriction on fighting here?”

Lin Moyu’s heart stirred, thinking of a possibility.

He had a skeleton divine general attack the mountain forest.

The attack was not strong, less than one percent of the skeleton divine general’s full power.

A hundred-meter-tall, ten-meter-thick tree was split in two by the sword energy, falling with a roar.

Here, any mountain was so tall that its peak couldn’t be seen, and its width was hard to estimate.

The mountains were high, and the trees were large. In the mountain forest, a hundred-meter-tall, ten-meter-thick tree was just a sapling.

Here, trees hundreds of meters thick and so tall their tops couldn’t be seen were everywhere.

With the roar, the tree fell, and then there was no further movement.

Lin Moyu looked at the wooden houses, which were also made from large trees. It seemed they hadn’t encountered any trouble at that time.

“Could it really be possible to coexist peacefully?”

Lin Moyu naturally didn’t believe such nonsense and issued another order.

The skeleton divine general used half its strength to unleash a stronger attack.

A massive sword energy blasted out, hitting the mountain forest.

The mountain was blasted open with a huge hole, and countless large trees were blown away.

Although this wound was nothing to the entire mountain, and even more insignificant to the entire mountain range, in Lin Moyu’s view, the commotion was already very intense, even causing the ground he stood on to shake.

Moments later, the shaking stopped, and apart from the huge pit on the mountain, nothing else happened.

“Could I be wrong?”

“If fighting were allowed here, it wouldn’t be possible to coexist peacefully.”

Lin Moyu still didn’t believe it and issued a new order.

Two skeleton divine generals suddenly fought each other, attacking each other.

This time, they still used half their strength, which wouldn’t be enough to kill each other.

As they fought, the rule world finally reacted.

A roaring sound came from the sky, and then two unimaginable forces descended, accurately hitting the two skeleton divine generals.

The two skeleton divine generals were instantly pinned to the ground, unable to move, unable to even stand up.

Lin Moyu understood. In this rule world, one could attack the mountains but not other living beings.

Lin Moyu tried several times, having the skeleton divine generals use their full strength to attack the mountains.

The mountains were blasted full of holes, and countless giant trees were destroyed, but there was still no punishment.

Only the two skeleton divine generals that had fought earlier remained pinned to the ground, unable to move.

After understanding the rules, Lin Moyu felt even more puzzled, “Why is it like this?”

Such rules must have a reason.

Lin Moyu knew that everything had cause and effect. If he wanted to leave here, he had to find the cause and effect.

But with the information he had now, it was difficult to find the correct cause and effect.

Over countless years, many people must have entered this rule world, but no one had ever escaped, at least no humans had.

If someone had, there would definitely be records in the Human Emperor’s network.

Those who died here should have left some information in their despair.

This information might be helpful to him.

The rainbow absorption occurred once every ten years. He didn’t know how long it would be until the next one.

Lin Moyu didn’t know if he could withstand the rainbow absorption. After all, this was a Supreme’s rule world, and he wasn’t confident.

Even if he could withstand the rainbow absorption, so what? He couldn’t sense any laws here and couldn’t cultivate. Eventually, he would die of old age here; it was just a matter of time.

Moreover, he didn’t have much time to waste here.

If he delayed for a thousand years, it would be too late when he got out.

“I must find a way out as soon as possible.”

Lin Moyu sent out more skeleton divine generals to explore. This world was too large. He had been here for half a day, and the skeleton divine generals had only explored a tiny fraction.

Determined, Lin Moyu sent out all five billion skeleton divine generals to explore in all directions.

The map of the rule world gradually became clearer, and finally, there was a new discovery.

The skeleton divine generals found a curvature while flying, leading Lin Moyu to guess that this rule world was an enormous sphere.

A spherical rule world was normal, but this sphere was excessively large, larger than a galaxy.

Its diameter was unmeasurable.

The skeleton divine generals spread out, flying in a grid pattern to avoid missing any traces.

Finally, there was another new discovery, and Lin Moyu rushed over immediately.

It was an enormous stone tablet.

The stone tablet was tens of thousands of meters long and wide, square, made from stones from the high mountains of the rule world.

The stone tablet was covered with numerous inscriptions, written in various languages of different races.

Lin Moyu had studied the languages of various races and could understand most of them.

Reading the inscriptions, Lin Moyu found that they recorded the experiences of Divine Venerables from various races who had entered this place.

The inscriptions contained the insights of these Divine Venerables. They had also explored but ultimately failed to leave, though they made some discoveries.

They recorded their findings on the stone tablet, hoping that future generations could leave this place.

Unfortunately, until the most recent record from five hundred years ago, no one had succeeded.

The last record was left by a human Divine Venerable five hundred years ago.

From the stone tablet, Lin Moyu felt despair again.

Despair mixed with unwillingness and hatred, the resentment left by each Divine Venerable.

Each Divine Venerable who ultimately couldn’t leave left their resentment in the inscriptions, and their bodies were gone.

“Fight a hundred battles and die ten thousand deaths without regret, the soul returns to the old land but cannot rest in peace!”

The tragic sighs echoed in the rule world, making Lin Moyu frown uncomfortably.

It wasn’t physical discomfort but an emotional one.

His emotions were affected by the tragic voice, causing intense fluctuations.

These intense fluctuations affected his calm thinking, making him feel despair.

“Those Divine Venerables who chose suicide in the end probably did so under the influence of this voice.”

Lin Moyu felt the voice had intensified since he entered, not because the sound grew louder but because the emotions within it became stronger, as if they were about to explode at any moment.

Suppressing his inner discomfort, Lin Moyu carefully read the inscriptions on the stone tablet, trying to stay calm.

“The inscriptions show that fighting is indeed not allowed here. Any fighting will result in punishment.”

“So here, no matter how deep the hatred, it must be set aside.”

“Currently, apart from the rainbow absorption every ten years, no other dangers have been discovered.”

“Not discovering doesn’t mean there aren’t any. Just like those Divine Venerables couldn’t find a way out, it doesn’t mean there isn’t one.”

Lin Moyu pondered, glancing at the sky unintentionally.

In the sky, at some unknown time, a crescent moon had appeared, a blue crescent moon, exuding a sense of eeriness.
