**Chapter 1957: Luo Shen's Past, The Shortest-Lived Saint Sovereign**

Luo Shen is one of the most legendary figures in the past ten thousand years.

Her father was a human, and her mother was a princess of the Starry Sky Fish Race.

This princess was not an ordinary princess; she had awakened her bloodline and comprehended the laws of space.

In the Starry Sky Fish Race, her status was very high, making it impossible for her to marry outside the race.

No one knows what methods the human used, but the princess eloped with him.

The two disappeared for many years. Eventually, the princess did not return, and only the human man came back, bringing with him a daughter named Luo Shen.

When Luo Shen returned, she was still a child. Originally, the Starry Sky Fish Race would never have allowed a mixed-blood like Luo Shen to exist.

However, Luo Shen was born with an awakened bloodline and mastered the laws of space.

At that time, the Starry Sky Fish Race was in a peculiar phase where none of the royal bloodlines were awakening.

Only a few elders in the race still mastered the laws of space, but they were nearing the end of their lives.

If they all passed away, the Starry Sky Fish Race would have no one left to control the laws of space, which would be a terrifying disaster for them.

After much deliberation, they accepted Luo Shen, making her the only mixed-blood princess in the Starry Sky Fish Race. Initially, her status was low, and she was ostracized by the clan.

However, as her strength grew, her status gradually stabilized, and her power increased.

Interestingly, after Luo Shen's arrival, the royal bloodlines of the Starry Sky Fish Race began to awaken again.

More and more people awakened their bloodlines, and the elders believed it was due to Luo Shen's good fortune.

Eventually, Luo Shen reached the Saint Sovereign level, becoming the youngest and most powerful Saint Sovereign in the Starry Sky Fish Race.

Later, Luo Shen left the Starry Sky Fish Race and disappeared.

Lin Moyu recounted Luo Shen's experiences. The Hao Saint Sovereign said, "So she encountered Shanlin Supreme and was severely injured by a sneak attack."

The Tian Saint Sovereign laughed, "The soul pearl drifted in the starry sky and was obtained by you. Shanlin Supreme died because of you, and finally, Luo Shen was revived because of you. In this way, you are Luo Shen's savior."

The War Saint Sovereign gave Lin Moyu a playful look, "I once met Luo Shen; she is very beautiful. You saved her; did she offer herself to you?"

"If she did, you should accept. Our Human Race isn't that conservative; it's fine."

The Hao Saint Sovereign also said seriously, "This is acceptable!"

Lin Moyu was both amused and exasperated. These Saint Sovereigns, usually so serious and aloof, suddenly became like this.

Lin Moyu didn't respond to their teasing, "I feel like Luo Shen is searching for something in the outer domain."

The Tian Saint Sovereign, known for his knowledge, said, "I know about this. Luo Shen is looking for her mother's whereabouts. Not only her, but her father is also searching."

The War Saint Sovereign and the Tian Saint Sovereign looked over, their eyes filled with curiosity.

"Old Hao, how do you know this?"

"If I remember correctly, you were the one who told us about Luo Shen back then."

"I found it strange at the time. How do you know so much about Luo Shen?"

They stared at the Hao Saint Sovereign as if they had discovered a new continent.

The Hao Saint Sovereign remained calm, "It's nothing, just some old stories."

"Luo Shen's father, Luo Qitian, was my friend."

"All these things were told to me by Luo Qitian. After he sent Luo Shen back, he came to see me."

Lin Moyu found it odd. If the Hao Saint Sovereign was friends with Luo Shen's father, why didn't he ask for the soul pearl when he knew it was in Lin Moyu's possession?

Given his abilities, the chances of reviving Luo Shen would have been higher.

But the Hao Saint Sovereign acted as if he knew nothing, said nothing, and did nothing.

Sensing Lin Moyu's gaze, the Hao Saint Sovereign slowly explained, "Luo Qitian and Luo Shen's mother fled to the outer domain. Later, they encountered an accident, and Luo Shen's mother disappeared, leaving only Luo Shen."

"Luo Qitian naturally wanted to search for her but didn't want Luo Shen to encounter any accidents, so he sent her back."

"Afterward, he came to see me, had a drink with me before leaving, and told me the whole story."

"There's one more thing you don't know: the lifespan of the Starry Sky Fish Race's Saint Sovereigns is only 5,000 years."

Everyone was shocked. The War Saint Sovereign blurted out, "So short?"

The lifespan of a Saint Sovereign, barring accidents, generally ranges from 30,000 to 50,000 years.

Different races have different lifespans, but most fall within this range.

Only some special plant-based races can live longer, up to 70,000 or 80,000 years.

But saying a Saint Sovereign can only live 5,000 years is too short, only about one-tenth of the normal lifespan.

Lin Moyu's heart skipped a beat. He thought of the Starry Sky Spirit Race.

He speculated, "Could it be because the Starry Sky Fish Race was also created by a Celestial Sovereign, so their lifespan is particularly short?"

He felt it was possible.

Creating life is an act against the heavens.

After all, a Celestial Sovereign is not the heavens. For such unnatural beings, a shorter lifespan is understandable.

The Tian Saint Sovereign said, "But Luo Shen's lifespan is more than 5,000 years."

The Hao Saint Sovereign nodded, "Yes, that's because Luo Shen has Human blood, making her different from other Starry Sky Fish Race members."

"Luo Shen's mother also seemed to have her lifespan altered due to Luo Qitian's influence."

"Luo Qitian believes his wife is still alive, so he has been searching in the outer domain."

"It seems Luo Shen is also searching for her parents, which is why she went to the outer domain."

"However, Luo Shen reached the Saint Sovereign level and waited until a second Saint Sovereign appeared in the Starry Sky Fish Race before leaving."

Lin Moyu nodded secretly. In this way, Luo Shen had long repaid her debt of gratitude.

From his brief interaction with Luo Shen, Lin Moyu could tell she was a person who valued loyalty and righteousness.

As they chatted along the way, Lin Moyu listened more and spoke less.

The Saint Sovereigns had experienced much over thousands of years, and their stories provided Lin Moyu with a wealth of information.

Upon returning to the Divine City star domain, Lin Moyu left the War God Fortress.

He then boarded the Hao Saint Sovereign's warship to return to the core area, while the War God Fortress was taken away by the War Saint Sovereign.

The War God Fortress originally belonged to the War God Hall and was usually under the War Saint Sovereign's control.

Feeling the familiar atmosphere of the Divine City star domain and seeing the bustling star systems, Lin Moyu felt the peaceful beauty of the Human Race.

A race that can live peacefully and steadily is a happy one.

War is terrifying. Once it descends, countless lives will be sacrificed.

Lin Moyu hoped that such disasters would not befall the Human Race again.

The Hao Saint Sovereign said, "When you return to the Divine City, take a good rest. There are still matters to discuss with you."

Lin Moyu nodded, "Alright, I'll organize my findings from this trip and then come to see you."

The Hao Saint Sovereign smiled, "No rush, no rush. Rest well first."

The Tian Saint Sovereign also smiled, "Indeed, no rush. We've waited thousands of years for this matter; there's no hurry."
