 Chapter 2097: This World Has No Future

The Insect Mother's self-destruction not only destroyed space, but also destroyed various restrictions.

Originally, the Dragon Race had sealed off space to prevent the Insect Race from escaping, but now it was all destroyed in the Insect Mother's self-destruction.

The Saint Venerable's self-destruction triggered turbulence in deep space, which even Saint Venerables found difficult to resist.

The first to be swept in was Shengguang, who was closest, and the second was Lin Moyu, who had deliberately moved closer.

Lin Moyu had experience with deep space turbulence, and with his mastery of space laws, he knew how to deal with it.

Fully activating space laws, combined with the effect of the Three-Light Talisman, formed a weak space-time power, giving Lin Moyu some room to maneuver in the space turbulence.

Shengguang had already been swept away by the space turbulence, his huge body tumbling in the chaotic flow, temporarily losing control.

Lin Moyu came to his side. Despite their vast difference in size, Lin Moyu used all his strength to materialize a giant hand and firmly grasp Shengguang.

"Go!"

With a shout, he fully unleashed his laws and threw Shengguang out of the turbulent deep space.

At the same time, he took several steps himself to escape the turbulence.

Lin Moyu didn't stop there, rushing to another area to pull back several other elemental dragons that had been swept into the space turbulence.

Fortunately, the elemental dragons had been far away at the time and had fled quickly enough, so not many were swept into the turbulence.

Shengguang stabilized himself and watched as Lin Moyu pulled back one elemental dragon after another.

He knew that being swept into space turbulence likely wouldn't result in death, but where one would end up was unknown.

They might end up at the edge of the world, millions of light-years away.

He was a Saint Venerable and might be able to return.

But for those Divine Venerables, once they lost their way, it might take thousands or tens of thousands of years to return.

Though not life-saving, Lin Moyu's actions were certainly helpful.

Combined with the earlier help from the Soul Stabilizing Runes, the elemental dragons all looked at Lin Moyu with goodwill.

At least they acknowledged Lin Moyu.

The aftershocks of the Saint Venerable's self-destruction gradually subsided, and the shattered space began to repair itself, though the repair process was slow and would take some time.

The entire starry sky was still in a chaotic state, with spatial turbulence and spatial rifts everywhere.

If a weaker Divine Venerable came here, they might be affected or even injured.

Shengguang's body was enveloped in brilliant light. Within the light, his body rapidly shrank, eventually transforming into human form.

Lin Moyu was curious why Shengguang had changed into human form.

And how he did it - this clearly wasn't the first time, as the whole process was very smooth and natural.

Even after transforming into human form, he was already dressed.

Even if he could transform himself, surely the clothes couldn't transform too.

The clothes fit perfectly, as if tailor-made, and were very luxurious, embroidered with many divine dragon patterns, seemingly flaunting his status.

In human form, Shengguang was handsome and tall, standing at two meters. Except for a pair of dragon horns on his head, he looked entirely human from head to toe.

Lin Moyu looked at Shengguang with a strange expression. Shengguang smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, you might understand in the future." Clearly, this was another matter that couldn't be discussed, and Lin Moyu didn't bother to ask further.

Since learning that the Dragon Race was not native to the Great World, Lin Moyu had many speculations about their origins.

The most likely scenario was that the Dragon Race, like the Insect Race, came from a world outside, and not one that had been conquered by the Great World.

It was just unclear in what capacity they had come to the Great World. The Dragon Race had existed for so many years, seemingly always watching the development of the Great World.

Lin Moyu had already probed Shengguang before, asking roundabout questions and obtaining some information to support his guesses.

Now he asked again, "Senior Shengguang, what exactly is the world outside like?"

Shengguang, in human form, waved his hand, "Don't call me senior, I like you. In our Dragon Race terms, you're very much to my taste."

"Let's call each other brothers. If you don't mind, call me big brother."

Lin Moyu immediately changed his form of address, "Brother Shengguang."

Shengguang laughed heartily, "Good, Brother Moyu. As for your question just now, big brother can't tell you."

"If you want to know, go out and see for yourself. Big brother believes you definitely have a way."

"If not, wait until I become a divine dragon, and you still have..."

Shengguang didn't continue, but gave Lin Moyu a meaningful look.

Lin Moyu understood immediately, knowing that Shengguang was certainly under many restrictions and couldn't say certain things.

However, from his words, much information had already been revealed.

First, it confirmed Lin Moyu's guess that the Dragon Race indeed came from outside the world, and they had their own purpose for coming to this world.

Moreover, Shengguang believed Lin Moyu could go out, and even if he couldn't, when Shengguang became a true divine dragon, he would have a way to take Lin Moyu out.

Shengguang had also obliquely mentioned Antares.

Without naming names, just a look was enough for Lin Moyu to understand.

Shengguang meant that with Antares around, Lin Moyu didn't need to worry about whether he could leave or not.

Lin Moyu looked at the tens of thousands of elemental dragons around, "Can all members of the Dragon Race transform into human form?"

Shengguang shook his head, "At least Saint Venerable realm is required."

Lin Moyu understood. Shengguang was surrounded by rule power, and the human transformation was related to rule power. Moreover, the rule power couldn't be too weak; Other Shore realm wasn't enough, it had to be Saint Venerable.

Rule power flowed around Shengguang's body, silently forming a barrier that prevented their conversation from spreading outward. "Brother Moyu, listen to big brother. This world has no hope. You'd better make plans early."

Lin Moyu's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he feigned ignorance, "Why does big brother say that?"

Shengguang lowered his voice, "I can't tell you the specific reasons, but what I can tell you is that this world has lost its future."

"In at most 1400 years, this world will face a world-ending crisis."

"You need to cultivate to the Other Shore realm as quickly as possible. Let me calculate the time... by then I should be close to advancing too."

"At that time, even if that person hasn't come out, I can take you away."

1400 years - wasn't that the time when another world would collide with the Great World?

The Dragon Race actually knew about this, clearly knowing far more than Lin Moyu had imagined.

Lin Moyu asked, "Only 1400 years left?"

Shengguang said, "That's right, 1400 years at most. No matter what method you use, you must reach the Other Shore realm within 1400 years."

"With your cultivation speed, little brother, it shouldn't be a problem."

Lin Moyu's cultivation speed was very fast, far beyond the understanding of anyone in the Great World.

Anyone who knew Lin Moyu's age would be incredibly shocked.

Shengguang knew how long Lin Moyu had been cultivating, but he was only slightly surprised.

It seemed he could accept Lin Moyu's cultivation speed.

At the same time, from his words, Lin Moyu felt that using 1400 years to cultivate from Divine Venerable to Other Shore realm seemed to be acceptable to Shengguang.

If others heard this, they would definitely think it was a fantasy.

Who could cultivate from Divine Venerable to Other Shore in just over a thousand years?

"Is the cultivation speed in the Dragon Race all this fast?" Lin Moyu thought to himself, while continuing to ask, "But there are several Saint Venerables in our human race. Can't they do anything?"

Shengguang shook his head, "Saint Venerables are useless. They'll all die when the time comes, not one can escape."

"This world will be destroyed. Except for a few people, everyone in this world will die."
