**Chapter 1072: A New Way to Mediate, Eliminate the Source**
The Stellar Essence Fire continuously emitted heat and light, but the distance its light could travel was limited, only visible within a certain range.
Therefore, Lin Moyu hadn't seen the Stellar Essence Fire until now.
In his line of sight, starlight flickered, with at least a hundred Stellar Essence Fires twinkling.
Lin Moyu knew he had finally truly entered War Zone 5-38. It wasn't the core yet, but at least it was no longer the outer edge.
At the same time, Lin Moyu became more vigilant. The number of active aliens here would significantly increase.
Especially when collecting Stellar Essence Fire, one had to be particularly careful.
Aliens had various methods. Often, before collecting Stellar Essence Fire, they would thoroughly check the surroundings. Some even set up formations and other means.
Some aliens chose to move in groups to ensure safety.
Stellar Essence Fire was an important resource for every race.
In his line of sight, a point of starlight suddenly distorted, flickering for a few seconds before disappearing.
Lin Moyu noted the location of that Stellar Essence Fire, indicating that someone had collected it.
Crossing the starry sky, he arrived at the nearest Stellar Essence Fire, took out the Starfire Jade Bottle, and directly collected it.
While collecting, Lin Moyu observed the dynamics of other Stellar Essence Fires.
If a Stellar Essence Fire suddenly disappeared, it meant someone had collected it.
He could follow the trail, kill and loot. It wasn't just the aliens who did such things.
After killing the Black Lizard Clan member, he had gained quite a bit.
Unfortunately, the later encounter with the Black Profound Clan was different. They didn't have storage treasures.
The Black Profound Clan had internal spaces within their bodies, and everything they carried disappeared upon death, leaving Lin Moyu with nothing.
The skeletons hid in the dark, remaining vigilant. If anyone dared to approach, they would be discovered immediately.
With the skeletons present, the effectiveness of the Warning Pearl was greatly reduced.
The second Stellar Essence Fire was collected smoothly, without any interruptions.
While collecting, Lin Moyu noticed two more Stellar Essence Fires changing.
One of them was gradually dimming, but halfway through, it suddenly brightened again.
Lin Moyu knew this was because the collection process had been interrupted, likely due to a sneak attack and ensuing battle.
"Let's go mediate."
Lin Moyu smiled slightly, spread his Undead Wings, and flew off.
After being quiet for over twenty days, his hands were itching for action.
A few minutes later, Lin Moyu flew over tens of millions of kilometers and finally sensed the overwhelming presence of laws. Two different laws were clashing in the starry sky.
From tens of thousands of kilometers away from a Stellar Essence Fire, Lin Moyu saw two aliens fighting. Their law domains were open, and their law powers were attacking and eroding each other.
Lin Moyu saw the two combatants from afar.
One emitted a crystalline glow, sparkling like a star.
He was using the Starlight Law.
The other was enveloped in ice, with the Water Law power surging and constantly freezing the Starlight Law.
Both were equally matched, both at the seventh rank of True God, making it hard to determine a winner.
Lin Moyu recognized both races from the information he had seen.
The one using the Starlight Law was from the Goblin Clan, and the one using the Water Law was from the Cold Star Clan.
Both races had once invaded the human race.
A trace of killing intent flashed in Lin Moyu's eyes as he decided to "mediate."
The Skeleton God Generals responded, flanking from all directions and silently completing the encirclement.
The two combatants had no idea they were already surrounded by the Skeleton God Generals.
The encirclement tightened, and the net began to close.
By the time they noticed the Skeleton God Generals, they were already completely surrounded, with no chance of escape.
"Where did these skeletons come from... how can there be so many?"
"Who dares to take advantage of the situation?"
No one answered them. The Skeleton God Generals had completed the encirclement, and their long swords slashed through the starry sky, unleashing countless sword qi.
"Bastard!"
"Courting death!"
The two shouted in unison, almost instantly becoming allies and attacking the Skeleton God Generals.
Lin Moyu watched and shook his head lightly, "Too late!"
As always, he didn't waste words with aliens.
Talking was useless; killing was the solution. After killing them, they would become his puppets.
This was Lin Moyu's way of "mediating," the most direct and effective method.
Eliminate the source of the conflict, and the mediation is naturally successful.
Lin Moyu successfully mediated. In the flames, the two aliens became resurrected beings.
They were very obedient, handing over all their possessions.
These two had been active in this war zone for over a year and had gained quite a bit.
They had killed aliens and collected Stellar Essence Fire.
Their combined harvest included ten Stellar Essence Fires.
Now, Lin Moyu had fifteen Stellar Essence Fires, exceeding the mission's requirement.
But Lin Moyu was just getting started and had no intention of returning yet.
Through questioning the two, Lin Moyu learned that if he continued flying in the previous direction for about 10 billion kilometers, he would reach the first Stellar Essence Fire cluster.
It was also the most fiercely contested area among the various races.
They had been active there before but left because it was too dangerous. Their strength was average, so they moved to this area.
Although there were fewer Stellar Essence Fires here, and the distance between each was vast, it was relatively safer.
According to them, to move freely in the Stellar Essence Fire cluster, one needed at least the peak strength of the seventh rank of True God, or even the eighth rank.
They were at the seventh rank of True God but only at an average level, so it was dangerous for them.
Lin Moyu calculated that he had already flown nearly 10 billion kilometers. If he flew another 10 billion kilometers, it would be 20 billion kilometers in total.
It seemed far, but it wasn't much.
The diameter of War Zone 5-38 was about a light-year, nearly a trillion kilometers.
Based on this calculation, if he continued deeper, there should be more Stellar Essence Fires.
Lin Moyu asked, "Have you been deeper?"
"No."
They both immediately denied it.
Lin Moyu asked, "Why not?"
"Too dangerous!"
They both answered in unison.
Lin Moyu frowned slightly. If both said so, it must be truly dangerous.
After their explanation, Lin Moyu understood that the danger came not only from alien attacks but also from the Stellar Essence Fires.
After passing the first Stellar Essence Fire cluster, flying another 10 billion kilometers would reach the second Stellar Essence Fire cluster.
The second cluster was much larger, at least ten times bigger.
But opportunities often came with danger.
There, the Stellar Essence Fires moved randomly and could even appear out of thin air.
If unlucky, a Stellar Essence Fire could appear right where you were.
Stellar Essence Fires not only burned the body but also ignited the soul.
They could instantly kill anyone below the eighth rank of True God.
Even those at the eighth rank would be severely injured, and even the ninth rank would find it troublesome.
Besides aliens and randomly moving Stellar Essence Fires, there were also occasional dark stars.
Dark stars were equally deadly.
Therefore, they called the area beyond the Stellar Essence Fire cluster the "Chaos Zone."
Some races called it the "Disorder Zone."
Lin Moyu gave the same orders as before, sending them to lure aliens over.
He also ordered the Black Lizard and Black Profound Clan members to come over.
"Disorder Zone..."
Lin Moyu muttered, looking into the dark and quiet deep space.
Since there were more Stellar Essence Fires ahead, there was no need to stay here.
Lin Moyu wanted not only Stellar Essence Fires but also other things.
