**Chapter 2317: The Effect of Fish Bones, Time Reversal**

Refining and absorbing the fish bone also required the use of soul power. The method was simple: just use soul power to evolve the Soul Fire to refine it. This posed no difficulty for Lin Moyu. In the Soul Fire, the fish bone quickly melted, eventually transforming into a clear energy that entered Lin Moyu's body.

The clear energy circulated through his body before finally settling in his soul.

Wherever the clear energy passed, Lin Moyu felt a sense of stability.

Indeed, stability—his entire strength became stable, his soul became stable, and his Rule World also became stable.

His strength itself did not increase, nor did his realm improve.

Luo Qitian said, "Do you feel it? Its effect is to stabilize the physical body, soul, and realm."

"This also includes lifespan, which becomes stable as well."

"Now, Lan'er's lifespan is the same as mine, stabilized at 40,000 years. No matter what accidents happen, even if injured, her lifespan will not change."

"This is its effect. As for the fish meat, it can enhance one's realm, but only at the beginning. Later, it loses its effect and becomes just a delicacy."

For Lin Moyu, a Saint Sovereign with an incredibly solid foundation, the fish meat had no use.

He pondered Luo Qitian's words and his own feelings, suddenly realizing that the so-called stability was not so simple.

It wasn't just stabilizing lifespan; it was more about stabilizing the realm.

Many powerful beings, after being injured, experience a decline in their realm, leaving hidden injuries that are difficult to recover from.

The stabilizing effect of the fish bone could prevent their realm from declining. As long as the injury was healed, they could return to their peak state without leaving hidden injuries.

This effect might seem trivial but was actually very important.

For Luo Qitian and his wife, the fish bone was used to stabilize lifespan, but for other cultivators, it could preserve their realm, making it a valuable asset for those unafraid of injury.

Moreover, its use wasn't like Yu Lan'er's continuous absorption. Instead, it could be absorbed before a great battle. Even if injured during the battle, there would be no need to worry.

The effect of the fish bone could last for several decades. Lin Moyu estimated that one fish bone's effect could last for decades.

This would provide ample time for healing. If time wasn't enough, another fish bone could be absorbed.

There should be many such strange fish in the Sea of Realms!

Lin Moyu and Luo Qitian chatted for a while longer, drinking wine and eating meat, discussing recent events within the domain.

Lin Moyu also mentioned his purpose for coming to the outer domain, but unfortunately, they had not encountered the Ghost Clan either.

The outer domain was vast, making the search harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

However, Luo Qitian did give Lin Moyu a lead. About 5 million light-years from their location, there were traces of life activity.

Some broken buildings had appeared there. They had encountered them but were too focused on finding strange fish to pay much attention.

Luo Qitian devoted most of his thoughts to his wife, even neglecting his daughter. This man loved his wife to the extreme.

After a hearty meal, it was time to part ways.

Before leaving, Luo Qitian gave Lin Moyu some fish meat as a gift.

Lin Moyu continued his search for the Ghost Clan, while Luo Qitian and Yu Lan'er went to find Luo Shen.

Opening the Space Gate repeatedly, Lin Moyu traversed the void, crossing 5 million light-years to the place Luo Qitian had mentioned.

The Dragon Seeking Orb showed no reaction; there were no Dragon Pearls here.

This was expected. The vast starry sky made finding a Dragon Pearl no easy task.

After searching for a while, he finally found traces of life activity.

There were some fragments resembling meteorites, which Lin Moyu identified as coming from stars.

The stars were just ordinary stars, indicating that stars had once passed through here.

Given the speed of stars, even if they had started flying here from ancient times, they couldn't have reached this place.

The speed of stars couldn't match the expansion speed of the Great World. The outer domain's emptiness was precisely because of this.

Unless they came from an even older era, but Lin Moyu thought that was unlikely, as that era was too ancient to trace back.

Collecting the stars, he continued searching, finding more star fragments.

Some fragments were relatively large, still retaining traces of life, though very faint.

If not for Lin Moyu's keen soul, he wouldn't have sensed them.

Finally, Lin Moyu found more star fragments, forming a meteorite cluster with even denser traces of life.

"A star was shattered here."

"The person who drove the star here once had a great battle with some beings."

"The battle was fierce, shattering the star and possibly killing many."

"What was here that caused such a battle?"

Lin Moyu's heart stirred, and the Time Law began to surge.

Manipulating the Time Law, he performed a time reversal.

The Rule World emerged, and vast soul power surged, fully unleashing the Time Law.

The Time Law enveloped a large area of the starry sky, then transformed into rules.

The Time Law star river extended, covering this part of the starry sky.

In the distance of the Time Law star river was the River of Time.

Lin Moyu was using the Time Law for a time reversal for the first time. In the Time Law, whatever happened in the past would leave traces in the River of Time.

Although he couldn't enter the River of Time, he could use the Time Law to find these traces and make them reappear.

The longer the time reversed, the more power required.

Lin Moyu didn't know when the battle occurred or if he had enough power to reverse it.

Regardless, he had to try to find out.

The Time Law star river connected to the River of Time, searching for past traces.

At the same time, it scattered light and shadows, revealing everything that had happened in the starry sky.

For most of the time, this starry sky was silent. Lin Moyu didn't know when the battle occurred.

He tried to find past traces, reversing time faster and faster.

The consumption of soul power also increased dramatically, and Lin Moyu's pressure grew rapidly. The World Tree continuously replenished his soul power.

In the blink of an eye, time had reversed 100,000 years. If it were an ordinary Saint Sovereign, their soul power would have been exhausted long ago.

But Lin Moyu could still persist, with the World Tree being his greatest support.

100,000 years ago, this starry sky was already like this.

Lin Moyu continued reversing, 200,000 years... 300,000 years...

Time grew longer, reaching 500,000 years ago, and his soul power finally began to run out.

The World Tree did its best to replenish, but it was still a bit short, unable to keep up with the consumption.

Lin Moyu estimated he could last up to 800,000 years, after which his soul power would be completely exhausted.

As his soul power dwindled, Lin Moyu struggled more.

At 750,000 years ago, the starry sky finally showed changes.

Fragments flew, forming a cluster.

"Getting closer!"

Lin Moyu's soul power was 80-90% depleted. Seeing the change, he gritted his teeth and continued reversing.

Time flowed, and the meteorite cluster's changes grew more intense. At 800,000 years ago, the changes were even more dramatic.

Lin Moyu knew he was close to the time of the great battle but still couldn't see clearly.

"Unwilling!"

"One more push!"

His soul roared, and the Ten-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal breathed dragon breath into his soul, providing some soul power.

However, providing soul power wasn't the Dragon Soul Crystal's main ability. Its main function was to purify soul power.

Doing this now was better than nothing.

The World Tree scattered golden light, desperately supporting Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu was fighting with all his might, and so was the World Tree.
