 **Chapter 1830: Living in Seclusion is Actually Not Safe**

Lin Moyu struggled to suppress the turmoil in his heart, responding in an extremely calm tone, "It's nothing."

His voice carried a hint of hoarseness. Though his tone seemed calm, inside he was in complete upheaval.

For some reason, Yu Qingrou felt her heart tighten, with an indescribable feeling.

She could tell that Lin Moyu had something on his mind, but wasn't saying it.

Yu Qingrou very much wanted to say: If there's anything, you can tell me.

But in the end, she held back. What right did she have? At most, she was just Lin Moyu's friend.

And not even from the same race, so this friendship came with a discount.

Finally, Lin Moyu withdrew his gaze. His aura completely calmed down as he muttered to himself, "The Rising Sun of the Star Sea, it's quite nice indeed."

Countless stars formed the sea, four suns in four directions, interweaving with unique natural laws to create a peculiar scene.

These scenes seemed real yet illusory, as if allowing one to glimpse another strange world.

The specific reason was unclear to everyone, after all it was just images.

Many people thought this might be the projection of some small world still in a closed state, manifesting as a mirage in the starry sea.

But those with high realms knew very clearly that this was not the case.

As for what was really going on, only a very few people knew.

The Rising Sun of the Star Sea lasted for about ten minutes before ending. The continent continued on its journey, flying towards the next scenic spot.

The Divine City Star Domain was vast. Even just the intermediate region far exceeded the Star Sky Fish People's territory.

By now everyone had become familiar with each other, chatting away and also learning a lot of information about the Star Sky Fish People.

This information wasn't confidential, and the Holy Sovereigns wouldn't interfere.

The place where the Star Sky Fish People lived in seclusion wasn't very large.

According to their description, it was only about one light-year in diameter.

For a powerful race, a territory of one light-year was really too small.

Taking the human race as an example, the four major star domains protecting the Divine City Star Domain spanned tens of thousands of light-years.

Compared to tens of thousands, one light-year was far too small.

The other powerful races might have smaller territories than humans, but not by much.

Even the Buddhist race occupied a star domain of over ten thousand light-years.

Lin Moyu gazed out at the sea and asked, "Are you planning to end your seclusion?"

Yu Qingrou didn't conceal anything, "Yes, the elders do have that intention, but it's not certain yet."

"Is it because you're running out of cultivation resources?" Lin Moyu continued to ask.

Yu Qingrou shook her head, "We still have enough resources for now, it's just that we've been separated from the Great World for too long."

"But coming out of seclusion is just one of many options. We have other choices too."

"Actually, the elders' opinions aren't unified. Some elders think we don't need to come out, that we're fine as we are now."

As a princess of the Star Sky Fish People who had mastered spatial laws, Yu Qingrou held a high position in her clan.

She knew a lot of information, but Lin Moyu hadn't expected to get any secrets from her.

Lin Moyu sighed lightly, "Indeed, your concerns aren't wrong. The Great World is too cruel."

"Sometimes I also wonder why I came from the small world to the Great World."

"Living in a small world isn't bad either, living a peaceful life, having children, passing on bloodlines. Why bother coming to the Great World to take risks?"

Yu Qingrou's eyes flashed with a lively light, "So you came from a small world too. Then we're similar."

She seemed to have found something in common with Lin Moyu and looked a bit happy.

The Star Sky Fish People's place of seclusion could also be considered a small world.

Yu Qingrou asked curiously, "So what reason ultimately made you choose to stay in the Great World?"

Lin Moyu continued, "There are many reasons. The most important one is that I want to control my own destiny."

"A small world seems safe, but is actually more dangerous."

"Perhaps just the aftershocks of a battle between Holy Sovereigns would be enough to destroy an entire small world."

"When that kind of thing happens, if I don't have power, how can I protect myself and my family?"

Yu Qingrou agreed with Lin Moyu's view, "Indeed, living in seclusion may seem carefree, but actually doesn't provide much ability to resist risks."

"It's like fish in a river. One day a bigger fish might come from the sea and eat them."

Hearing Yu Qingrou's words, many speculations suddenly arose in Lin Moyu's mind.

He realized that something must have happened within the Star Sky Fish People clan, forcing them to make the decision to come out of seclusion.

What exactly happened, he wouldn't ask, and Yu Qingrou wouldn't say even if he did.

But from this, Lin Moyu could be certain that the Star Sky Fish People's return was almost a foregone conclusion.

If he could figure this out, those cunning Holy Sovereigns must have seen it clearly too.

The Holy Sovereigns and Fish People elders were discussing - actually negotiating.

Everyone was bargaining for their own interests. What they needed to do was demonstrate the strength of the human younger generation to increase their bargaining chips.

At the same time, they also had to give the Fish People some face. Both sides had to get through this.

They needed to win, but not win too decisively.

Energy fluctuations came from nearby as the aura of God Sovereigns rose.

To Lin Moyu and Yu Qingrou, this aura was like a gentle breeze.

They both turned to look and saw two people sparring about ten thousand meters away from the banquet.

Both were peak God Sovereigns, both geniuses who could fight above their level.

This was the first clash between the young geniuses of the Star Sky Fish People and humans.

Many people were watching from the sidelines.

They all looked somewhat excited.

"Looks like these young people can't wait anymore," Lin Moyu chuckled.

Yu Qingrou glanced at Lin Moyu and said softly, "They're older than you."

"Hm?" Lin Moyu was slightly stunned. How did Yu Qingrou know his age?

He had hidden his age information from the Human Emperor Network, and Yu Qingrou shouldn't be able to see that information anyway.

Yu Qingrou laughed lightly, "I was born with awakened spatial power. Space is like my hand - without touching, I can see your bone age."

"It's not very accurate, but I can roughly tell that you're probably not even a hundred years old yet."

Lin Moyu suddenly understood, "Space is like your hand. I didn't know spatial laws could be used like that."

Yu Qingrou didn't dwell on this topic. She smiled brightly, "Let's go, young genius. Let's go watch the battle too."

Yu Qingrou's face gradually lit up with a smile, sweeping away her previous coldness.

This was the image she deliberately presented to others, different from her true personality.

Lin Moyu knew this was also specifically instructed by the elders of her clan.

This exchange between the two races was very important, so Yu Qingrou couldn't be too aloof, as that would easily offend people.
