Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 3151: Even Dao Lords Can Die?

Lord Wentian told his story. Lin Moyu listened very carefully, not missing a single word, firmly remembering everything in his heart.

Although he was just telling a story, sometimes one could analyze a lot of other information from between the lines.

Beings like this often only revealed seven parts while hiding three.

From Lord Wentian’s mouth, Lin Moyu heard a story buried in history.

Once the Blood Rat Realm invaded, the Divine Rune Army fought back. This great battle went from outside the realm to inside, from outer space to the Origin Continent.

The war was extremely fierce, shattering the starry sky and destroying the earth.

In the end, the Divine Rune Army emerged victorious.

In that great battle, just ninth-level Dao Venerable powerhouses died and were injured in the tens of thousands.

Dozens of Great Dao realm powerhouses died.

What he had experienced in the Ancient Battle Secret Realm was just the tip of the iceberg of the entire war.

Actually, the truly most tragic battlefield wasn’t on the Origin Continent, but in outer space, within the Dao.

Lin Moyu felt the cruelty of that great battle back then. To fight until the Dao shattered, with so many Great Dao realm beings perishing, was an unimaginable scene.

Lin Moyu said, “No matter how arduous the process, in the end we still won.”

Lord Wentian’s gaze held contemplation, “Yes, in the end we still won, but it wasn’t easy.”

“From the beginning of the war, we knew we would certainly win. The outcome was predetermined.”

“Compared to the Origin Continent, the Blood Rat Realm was nothing. With their strength, they weren’t enough to contend with us at all.”

“If not for the God Realm and Black Blood Realm, destroying them would have been as easy as turning over one’s hand.”

Hearing about the God Realm and Black Blood Realm immediately made Lin Moyu think of the Outer Gods and Black Blood Great Realm.

Lin Moyu immediately asked, “Senior, can you tell me about the God Realm and Black Blood Realm?”

Lord Wentian narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Lin Moyu with a hint of a smile, as if he had known Lin Moyu would make this request.

“I sense that you have the aura of Outer Gods on you. You must have dealt with Outer Gods before.”

Lin Moyu said, “Junior has not only dealt with Outer Gods, but also with the Black Blood Realm.”

Lord Wentian showed a trace of strange expression, “The Black Blood and Black Blood Sword Saint you saw in the ancient battlefield were evolved by this old man using Great Dao power, not real.”

Lin Moyu said, “The first time junior dealt with the Black Blood Realm wasn’t here, but in the Realm Sea world.”

Lin Moyu briefly recounted some of what had happened back then.

After pondering for a moment, Lord Wentian said, “It seems some remnants of the Black Blood Realm still remain on the Origin Continent. But it shouldn’t matter much. In that battle back then, they were already heavily damaged and can’t stir up much trouble for now.”

“Moreover, even if you know they’re still around, you can’t do anything about it for now.”

Lin Moyu knew he was right. Even if he knew, he couldn’t do anything. With insufficient strength, it was difficult to do anything.

Lord Wentian continued, “Let this old man ask you, what do you think of the Outer Gods?”

“Naturally I look at them with my eyes,” Lin Moyu instinctively thought, but said aloud, “Outer Gods are detested by the Dao. When encountered, they must be killed. They have strong and weak ones. The weakest are divine dragons, then mounts, then the Outer Gods themselves.”

Lord Wentian smiled, “Correct. Outer Gods come from the God Realm. The God Realm and our Origin Continent are mortal enemies, detesting each other.”

“The Black Blood Realm is the same, but neither of them is a match for us.”

“Back then they joined forces, but still lost in the end.”

Lin Moyu said softly, “But in that battle, we also suffered heavy losses. Of the original nine continents, only four remain now.”

Lord Wentian’s smile grew wider, “It seems you know quite a lot. But you… it’s normal for you to know.”

“The number of continents doesn’t matter much. Even if only one remained it wouldn’t matter. What truly matters is the Dao.”

“The situation is very complex, not something that can be explained in a word or two. But you only need to know that the God Realm and Black Blood Realm are in an even worse state than us.”

Lin Moyu asked, “What about the Blood Rat Realm?”

“The Blood Rat Realm is just a vassal of the Black Blood Realm, a garbage world. They only had one Dao Lord, who also died after that great battle.”

“If not for the God Realm and Black Blood Realm, the Blood Rat Realm would have been completely destroyed long ago.”

Lin Moyu asked with surprise, “Even Dao Lords can die?”

Lord Wentian said, “Of course they can die. So-called immortality is all conditional. Perhaps true immortality exists, but at least it’s not at the Great Dao realm, nor for Dao Lords.”

Lin Moyu sighed repeatedly. Even Dao Lords could die. True immortality was really not easy.

It made sense. If even the Dao could be shattered, Dao Lords perishing was only natural.

Lin Moyu asked, “Senior, you telling junior these things isn’t just to let junior listen to your story, right?”

Lord Wentian said, “You are indeed very clever. You’re now a sixth-grade general. Ten more steps and you’ll be fifth-grade.”

“In the former Divine Rune Army, fifth-grade generals were mid-to-high level, qualified to make some battlefield decisions.”

“If you want to continue rising, just doing tasks won’t be enough anymore. You’ll need to do some other things.”

Lin Moyu knew the main course had arrived. All that talk was for this main course.

He showed a curious expression, “Junior has a question here. What’s the use of raising military rank to the highest? Or rather, what benefit is there for junior?”

Lord Wentian smiled, “Your question is very practical, and good. The Divine Rune Army is already history. It’s a memory in this old man’s heart.”

“Raising your military rank to the highest now doesn’t have much meaning indeed, but this old man here can give some rewards.”

Lin Moyu asked, “Can you be more specific?”

Even close brothers settle accounts clearly. Lin Moyu wouldn’t do some thankless tasks just because of a few words.

Rewards had to be substantial. Empty titles were useless.

Lord Wentian also understood this point. In fact, those with thoughts like Lin Moyu’s were true cultivators.

Lord Wentian held up three fingers, “First reward, for each military rank you advance, I’ll reward you with a hundred Great Dao crystals.”

“Second reward, as long as you can advance to first-grade general, you’ll obtain the key to the Divine Rune Army’s treasury.”

“Third reward, as long as you can complete the final task, this old man has an Origin Ancestor Stone that can be awarded to you.”

Hearing the three rewards, Lin Moyu was somewhat moved.

Not to mention anything else, just the hundred Great Dao crystals were attractive enough.

A hundred for first grade. If he could advance to first grade, that would be five hundred. This number wasn’t small.

Though moved inside, he didn’t show any reaction on the surface, continuing to ask, “What’s in the Divine Rune Army treasury? What’s the use of the Origin Ancestor Stone?”

Lord Wentian chuckled, “This old man won’t say what’s in it, but there are good things.”

“As for the Origin Ancestor Stone, this is truly a rare item. You’ll go to the Origin Ancestor Land someday, and it will be very useful then.”

The Origin Ancestor Stone was related to the Origin Ancestor Land. The Origin Ancestor Land was indeed a place to go in the future. If it was useful there…

After some consideration, Lin Moyu had already agreed in his heart.

But he still continued to ask, “Junior has a few questions here, hoping to ask senior for guidance.”

Lord Wentian said, “You tell me if you agree first!”
