 **Chapter 1780: New and Old Grudges, Settling All Accounts**

The old and young sat in the silent starry sky, chatting for a long time.

After becoming an Other Shore Realm being, Zhu Qiwu's strength increased greatly, but his personality didn't change at all.

To outsiders, he was silent and aloof, extremely cold and difficult to approach.

But once it was someone he approved of, he could talk endlessly.

Zhu Qiwu told Lin Moryu a lot.

He was very clear that the Blood Path to the Shore was a shortcut, but it was also an unavoidable shortcut.

The Human Race needed Other Shore Realm beings, and even more so, they needed Saint Sovereigns.

Even now, the Human Race was already strong enough, stronger than any other race.

In Zhu Qiwu's words, in one-on-one combat, no race in the Great World dared to challenge the Human Race.

Even the current Demon Race was slightly weaker than the Human Race.

They may seem to cause a lot of trouble usually, but if they really fought with the Human Race, they would only face defeat.

However, the Human Race's enemies weren't just the Demon Race, but also other races in the Great World.

Once the Human Race and Demon Race went to war, needless to say, other races would definitely help the Demon Race and attack the Human Race.

They wouldn't allow the Human Race to dominate alone.

Even to suppress the Human Race, the disaster from 100,000 years ago might repeat itself.

In other words, the Human Race was very strong, but not absolutely the strongest.

If all races united, the Human Race would still be defeated.

Therefore, the Human Race needed a large number of Other Shore Realm beings and Saint Sovereigns.

Saint Sovereigns were currently the top combat force in the Great World. As long as there were enough Saint Sovereigns, the Human Race might truly become the strongest in the Great World.

If they didn't choose the shortcut of the Blood Path to the Shore, Zhu Qiwu might need over a thousand years to complete the Law Star River, or he might never complete it.

That way, the Human Race would not only lose an Other Shore Realm being but might also lose a potential Saint Sovereign.

Zhu Qiwu's goal was to become a Saint Sovereign, to add the strongest combat power for the Human Race.

So even though he knew it was a shortcut, he had to make this choice.

Not just the Human Race, other races made the same choice.

The Human Race feared the repeat of the disaster from 100,000 years ago, while other races feared the Human Race's domination.

Although in recent years, large-scale wars hadn't broken out between races, undercurrents were surging, and all races were competing.

The Great World was extremely cruel, with natural selection and survival of the fittest. If you didn't advance, you would retreat.

Even if you wanted to hide away, without strength, you would eventually be found and eliminated.

The higher-ups of the Human Race always had a sense of urgency.

Even Saint Sovereigns were always preparing for the worst, fearing the repeat of the disaster from 100,000 years ago.

If it weren't for Xiao Zhantian's sudden appearance back then, the Human Race might have already been wiped out from the Great World.

Zhu Qiwu explained the causes and effects thoroughly, giving Lin Moryu a more macro-level understanding of the entire Great World and the Human Race's situation.

During the entire narration, Zhu Qiwu also revealed some information that outsiders couldn't possibly know.

Due to his special status, Zhu Qiwu possessed some special information.

He trusted Lin Moryu, so he didn't hold back.

After the disaster 100,000 years ago, War God Xiao Zhantian stood tall, single-handedly cutting off the near-ancient era and opening a new era for the entire Great World.

For Xiao Zhantian, wiping out an entire race single-handedly wasn't difficult.

Xiao Zhantian indeed did so, personally annihilating some small races that had invaded the Human Race back then.

Even strong races like the Golden Eagle Race and Demon Race were beaten into retreat by Xiao Zhantian.

At that time, it was Xiao Zhantian's era.

Due to some special reasons, Xiao Zhantian didn't completely wipe out the Demon Race, Golden Eagle Race, and some other strong races.

Zhu Qiwu didn't know the specific reasons.

However, Xiao Zhantian did make an arrangement, stirring up hatred between various races.

At that time, there was no hatred between the Demon Race and the Golden Eagle Race. Somehow, hatred arose between the two races, and they began to fight each other.

As time passed, the hatred accumulated deeper and deeper, evolving into a blood feud.

Not just the Golden Eagle Race and Demon Race, but some other strong races also inexplicably developed hatred for each other and began to fight.

This way, various races began to consume each other, giving the Human Race a chance to rise again.

As for how Xiao Zhantian managed to do this, no one knew.

Zhu Qiwu's eyes showed contemplation, "Perhaps the master of the War God Temple knows some inside information, but he wouldn't reveal it."

"The Saint Sovereigns feel that although hatred has been established between various races, if the Human Race becomes too powerful, they can still put aside their hatred and unite against the Human Race."

"Just like how they can temporarily put aside their hatred and form an allied army to kill you, it's the same principle."

Lin Moryu agreed with Zhu Qiwu's words, and indeed, that was the case.

When they discovered that the Human Race truly posed a threat to them, they could completely put aside their past hatred.

Even those races that had no hatred towards the Human Race, like the Ox Demon Race, might join the army to attack the Human Race.

Lin Moryu said in a low voice, "Actually, in the end, we need to truly frighten them, cripple them, kill them, only then can this Great World be peaceful."

Zhu Qiwu sighed, "Yes, but it's difficult."

Lin Moryu's eyes flashed with coldness, "It's difficult, but not impossible."

"I don't know why the War God didn't continue back then. If I can reach the Saint Sovereign level one day, I will definitely raise my blade against various races."

"New and old grudges, I will settle all accounts."

Zhu Qiwu chuckled, "Various races have already sensed the threat you bring. So they won't allow you to grow, and you might face even greater threats."

Lin Moryu didn't care. Since his class change, he had been fighting his way through.

The blood path had long formed under his feet, and it wasn't just a blood path, but mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The number of people he had killed far exceeded most God Sovereigns in the Human Race.

Zhu Qiwu sensed Lin Moryu's killing intent and couldn't help but smile, "I know you're not afraid, but you still need to be careful. To deal with you, perhaps Other Shore Realm beings from various races might shamelessly take action."

"Keep the Hao Saint Sovereign's token. You might need it."

Zhu Qiwu tossed the Hao Saint Sovereign's token back to Lin Moryu. Now that Zhu Qiwu had successfully advanced to the Other Shore Realm, with his combat power, unless a Saint Sovereign personally took action, ordinary Other Shore Realm beings would find it difficult to kill him.

If a Saint Sovereign took action, relying on just a Saint Sovereign's token wouldn't be of much use.

It was better to give it to Lin Moryu, who might be able to make some use of it.

Lin Moryu didn't stand on ceremony and put away the token.

Zhu Qiwu asked, "Kid, where are you going next?"

Lin Moryu thought for a moment, "First back to the Vermilion Bird Star Domain, might go to the small world to take a look, then to the White Tiger Star Domain."

Zhu Qiwu said, "I need to return to the Divine City too. In the blink of an eye, I've been away from the Divine City for over two thousand years."

His voice and gaze carried nostalgia, like an old man who had been away from home for a long time, starting to miss his homeland and the people there.

Lin Moryu smiled, "Then we'll meet again when fate allows. I hope you can achieve Saint Sovereign status soon."

"You brat, you really dare to think!" Zhu Qiwu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had just reached the Other Shore Realm and hadn't even stabilized, yet Lin Moryu was already thinking about Saint Sovereign.

But he also knew Lin Moryu was joking with him.

Suddenly, a flame lit up in the starry sky, extremely dim, emitting a deep green color.

This green was so dark it made one's heart sink, almost black.

Zhu Qiwu's expression changed drastically, "Not good, it's the Abyss Demon Sovereign."

From within the flames, a gloomy and hoarse voice flew out, "You're not going anywhere."
