### Chapter 1699: Don't Forget, You Are Also a Member of the Human Race
Lin Moyu felt himself advancing at an astonishing speed. The Divine City Star Domain was vast, spanning at least a million light-years, with countless star systems.
Lin Moyu saw star systems receding into the distance, turning into small dots, and finally disappearing from sight.
It seemed like they were teleporting, yet it didn't quite feel like teleportation.
If this was the law of space, it didn't seem quite right either.
Holy Venerable Hao explained, "I forcibly twisted space with the power of rules, achieving an effect similar to teleportation. But compared to the true law of space, it's still lacking."
"And my method can only achieve the best effect within the Human Race Star Domain."
Lin Moyu understood. The power of rules, though magical, was not omnipotent.
The power of rules was stronger than the law, but it also had to follow certain rules.
It wasn't a matter of doing whatever one wanted.
As a simple way to understand it, the power of rules could be seen as an upgraded version of the law.
Their speed continued to increase, and Lin Moyu saw more and more star systems.
Moreover, the scale of the star systems was also increasing, with grand and magnificent giant star systems passing by.
Lin Moyu realized that he was heading towards the center of the Divine City Star Domain.
The closer to the center of the Divine City, the larger the star systems became.
These giant star systems often consisted of dozens or even hundreds of planets.
In a single star system, there could sometimes be several stars.
These stars coexisted peacefully, running along some predetermined routes, without interfering with each other.
Holy Venerable Hao explained, "These star systems are the result of the efforts of countless sages of the human race."
Without much explanation, Lin Moyu understood what was going on.
After the great battle between the ancient swordsman and the ancient giant, the secret realms began to evolve. At that time, many powerful beings fought for the ownership of the secret realms.
The final result was that the human race won. At that time, the human race should have been called the Star God Human Race, one of the four source races.
Later, the sages of the human race used their great power to move countless stars, forming star systems.
Most of the star systems in the Divine City Star Domain were actually formed later.
The star systems that were formed naturally had long been destroyed in that great battle.
The human race thrived and multiplied in these artificially formed star systems, becoming a strong race in the great world.
Holy Venerable Hao continued, "We have always advocated doing as much as we can with our abilities and knowing as much as we can."
"When the strength is insufficient, some things don't need to be known."
"Just like those in the other shore realm, they also have many things they don't know."
Lin Moyu asked, "What about you?"
Holy Venerable Hao chuckled, "I naturally have things I don't know as well, but it's a pity..."
Pity about what, Holy Venerable Hao did not say.
But Lin Moyu heard the sigh and a deep sense of helplessness.
Holy Venerable Hao took Lin Moyu flying for a long time, crossing tens of thousands of light-years, and entered the center of the Divine City.
As soon as they entered the center, Lin Moyu felt a completely different atmosphere.
First was the Human Emperor Network. The power of the Human Emperor Network became incredibly clear here, almost within reach.
Lin Moyu couldn't help but open his Soul Eye and saw a wondrous scene:
Lines of law intertwined, and outside the lines of law, a large net appeared.
This large net was omnipresent, tightly wrapping around the lines of law.
Lin Moyu then realized why the Human Emperor Network could construct a virtual sea of laws.
The root cause was that it could control this kind of law.
Even if it couldn't control it, it could at least utilize the power of the law.
In his vision, a mass of flames appeared, burning like a star, but much larger than any star.
Ordinary stars, even thousands or tens of thousands combined, couldn't compare to it.
And the power it emitted was the source of everything.
"This is the essence of the Human Emperor Network," Lin Moyu asked in shock.
Holy Venerable Hao replied, "That's right."
The Human Emperor Network occupied a vast expanse of the starry sky, also known as the core area.
Holy Venerable Hao took him and, at an astonishing speed, plunged into the flames of the Human Emperor Network.
There was no imagined high temperature; instead, there was a feeling of returning to the womb, very comfortable.
The speed suddenly slowed down, and the scene before Lin Moyu's eyes quickly became clear from blurry.
He found himself in a peculiar space, somewhere inside the Human Emperor Network.
Here, clusters of light floated freely.
"This is... a secret realm!"
Lin Moyu whispered. He could tell that these clusters of light were secret realms.
Holy Venerable Hao also showed a slight smile, "That's right, these are secret realms, all of which have been cleared."
"The ancient runes that evolved them have been taken away. Although the secret realms still exist, they have lost their original function."
"Although they can no longer be entered, we can still obtain a lot of information through studying them."
"For example, the Maple Forest Secret Realm you just cleared."
Holy Venerable Hao waved his hand, and a bright light flew out.
Lin Moyu felt a familiar aura; it was the Maple Forest Secret Realm he had just cleared.
As soon as the Maple Forest Secret Realm was thrown out, a giant black hand covered in runes appeared in the space.
It was the same black hand that came to take the ancient rune after clearing the secret realm each time.
But in the last two times, the black hand had returned empty-handed.
The black hand grabbed the Maple Forest Secret Realm, and the runes on it glowed.
These runes looked somewhat chaotic, but at this moment, they all glowed simultaneously. Lin Moyu then realized that they actually had a specific order.
These runes formed a rune array, and this rune array emitted a scent similar to that of the ancient rune.
Although it wasn't an ancient rune, it was very close.
The key was that it was very complete, unlike the ancient rune, which was only a fragment.
The black hand grabbed the Maple Forest Secret Realm and vibrated at a peculiar frequency.
Lin Moyu felt that the aura of the Maple Forest Secret Realm was weakening, and the power inside was being extracted.
The extracted power reformed into a fragment of an ancient rune.
This fragment of the ancient rune was identical to the one he had obtained from the Maple Forest Secret Realm.
But the fragment before him was slightly more illusory, not as real.
Lin Moyu watched this scene, his pupils contracting, "Extracting the ancient rune directly from the secret realm?"
Holy Venerable Hao said, "The ancient rune evolves the secret realm, and traces of the ancient rune are everywhere in the secret realm. Through some special means, we can extract the corresponding ancient rune from the secret realm."
"But that requires the ancient rune that evolved the secret realm to leave the secret realm; otherwise, this method would only cause the secret realm to explode."
"You should have already felt that although the ancient rune has no wisdom, it actually has its own instincts and will protect itself."
Lin Moyu nodded. He indeed had the same feeling.
Watching this scene, Lin Moyu murmured, "So even if I obtained the ancient rune, you can still extract it from the secret realm through this method."
Holy Venerable Hao smiled slightly, "That's right, so you don't need to think too much. If you obtained the ancient rune, then you got it. It doesn't cause us any loss."
"If you can research something from the ancient rune, it will only benefit us. Don't forget, you are also a member of the human race."
As he spoke, he walked forward, and Lin Moyu immediately followed, reflecting on Holy Venerable Hao's words.
That's right, he was also a member of the human race.
