**Chapter 706: The Strongest Path is Also the Hardest Path**

The Wind and Thunder Continent is also the graveyard of gods. Lin Moyu was deeply moved by the resolute spirit of the Thunder God, whose heart was filled with despair and helplessness. This feeling intensified when Lin Moyu learned about the past of the gods.

Although they were gods and not humans, they were the earliest allies of the human race and the pioneers of this era. They faced crises and fought alongside humans. Some fell, and some went into deep slumber.

Among the humans, some ancestors transformed their bloodlines and became gods. Most of the gods from that era became the best allies of the human race. They, like humans, were born in this era, bore its mark, and had a sense of belonging to it.

Lin Moyu felt the same way. He had no strong feelings for the previous era, even though they were of the same race. But for the humans of this era, Lin Moyu had different feelings. This was the mark of the era, the imprint of an entire era.

Lin Moyu only realized this after his soul became divine. The Thunder God was dead, and the Wind God should also be in a deep slumber on the Wind and Thunder Continent. Lin Moyu didn't know where exactly, and he didn't intend to find it. He couldn't revive it now, and finding it would be useless and harmful. It was better to let it continue to sleep until he had the ability to revive them.

Returning to the Wind and Thunder Continent, Lin Moyu continued to target the thunder tree and wind flower groups. However, he didn't provoke the thunder tree group in the Thunder Mountain Range, even though it had the most thunder trees. A terrifying being was also in a deep slumber under the mountain range. It was once the Thunder God's mount, injured and put to sleep by Antares. There seemed to be some connection between them.

For whatever reason, Lin Moyu didn't want to trouble it. He only targeted the outer thunder tree groups and the wind flower groups he encountered. Although the efficiency was lower, it was enough for leveling up. The entire Wind and Thunder Continent spanned thousands of kilometers, with countless thunder trees and wind flowers. For thousands of years, few had come to challenge them, allowing their numbers to grow.

Now, they all benefited Lin Moyu, becoming his resources. His experience soared again, and according to his estimate, it wouldn't take a day to level up from 79 to 80. Reaching level 80 would be a qualitative leap, gaining new skills, which are the most powerful skills for most professions. Level 90 is the domain of gods, with no new skills. Level 80 is the last chance for professionals to awaken new skills.

Almost all professionals will give their all to master the new skills at level 80. After level 80, they begin the path to divinity. At level 80, many professionals start to engage with their souls. They need to understand the essence of the soul, enhance its level, and use its power to touch the skill space and find the origin of their skills.

Finally, they move the skill star core out of the skill space, transforming ordinary skills into soul skills, also known as spells. Even with just a 1% fusion rate, the transformation into a spell brings significant changes, greatly increasing the skill's power and effect.

When reaching level 89, moving and transforming a skill star core can make one a half-step god. Two skill star cores can make one a true god. At that point, a new world opens up.

However, having just two skill star cores and two origin skills makes one the weakest among gods. The more origin skills one has, the stronger they are at the same level. Bai Yiyuan and Yan Kuangsheng, both at level 95, have three origin skills each, making them stronger than Ye Hao at the same level. Meng Anwen, being a dual-profession god, has four origin skills, making him even more powerful. As for Lin Moyu, his path is entirely different from ordinary people.

He aims to transform all his skill star cores into origin skills and even extract his three talents from the mysterious talent space. Only by doing so can he achieve a perfect god level, possessing unparalleled combat power and paving the way for future strength.

All methods lead to the same end, and the ultimate goal is the same. Lin Moyu's eyes flickered, and he lowered his gaze. The undead army was slaughtering, continuously killing thunder trees, and his experience was rapidly increasing. His leveling speed was hundreds of times faster than other professionals. What takes others a year, he can achieve in a day. As long as there are enough monsters, leveling speed is not an issue.

Lin Moyu didn't care about the battlefield; he was contemplating Antares' words. "The human race's leveling methods are not limited to one. No matter the method, the goal is to reach the final destination."

"Each world has different rules. In my world, the path I take is the strongest and the hardest."

"Only by walking this path can I navigate the great world more smoothly in the future."

"But I have a premonition..."

Lin Moyu looked up at the sky, "My path won't be that simple."

As he approached leveling up, the feeling of suppression reappeared. The higher the level, the more pronounced the suppression. This was a suppression that even Antares couldn't trace, indicating its source was extremely high, beyond Antares' level.

When Lin Moyu first mentioned this feeling to Antares, it thought Lin Moyu was mistaken. But now, Lin Moyu clearly felt the suppression again. He was certain the suppression came from deep within his soul. It was like a curse, entangling him and rooted deep in his soul. However, its level was too high, and Lin Moyu couldn't trace it even now.

One group of wind flowers and thunder trees after another was wiped out. After a day, Lin Moyu's body glowed with the light of leveling up. Unlike any previous leveling up, this time, the light was golden, heavy and dazzling. The golden light originated from his soul, spreading throughout his body and radiating from his skin. Lin Moyu was enveloped in golden light, turning into a golden figure.

Level 80 is a threshold, the first time the soul emits a cry. From this level, one begins to engage with the soul. The focus of cultivation shifts from killing monsters to soul comprehension. Of course, killing monsters is still necessary, as it provides experience, which is soul power. This is the world's rule, unavoidable in this world.

Lin Moyu felt a significant increase in soul power as he leveled up. The increase was greater than several previous levels combined. Level 80 is indeed a qualitative change. As his soul power increased, Lin Moyu sat in the air, beginning to comprehend. Others need to explore and touch the skill space at this level, requiring long periods of exploration, often without success. But Lin Moyu, like a bandit, kicked open the door to the skill space, descending with immense soul power.
