**Chapter 1230: The Rat is Always Afraid of Light**

The two left the warship, and Zhu Qiwu waved his hand to put the warship away, while an object appeared in his other hand. It was a round ball, the size of a fist, emitting a brilliant golden glow. 

Dense and complex patterns were engraved on its surface, exuding a strong aura of the flame laws. Lin Moyu knew this was a flame law treasure.

Zhu Qiwu's gaze searched around, as if looking for something. 

Lin Moyu still had doubts in his mind, "Senior Zhu, since you know He Renxing is hiding here, why don't you just kill him directly? With your abilities, killing him should not be difficult."

Zhu Qiwu said, "Killing him is indeed not difficult, but the hard part is finding out the location of the star map. He has hidden the star map, and no one else knows where it is."

Lin Moyu asked doubtfully, "Then you can capture him alive, interrogate him, or search his soul, there must be a way to find the result."

Zhu Qiwu laughed, "It's simple to kill a god, but capturing one alive is difficult. If I really wanted to capture him alive, he would most likely self-detonate, leaving his soul and flesh completely destroyed."

"And he must have passed the location of the star map to the demon race, and it must be somewhere in this void space."

"This incident happened half a year ago, and he has been hiding here for the past half year, with demons occasionally coming by."

"But we killed the demons beforehand, though we can't guard against thieves forever, and the demons will eventually succeed one day."

Lin Moyu asked further, "Then if you didn't have my technique, what would you have done?"

"If I didn't have you..." Zhu Qiwu glanced at Lin Moyu, "If I didn't have you, we would have used some methods to completely destroy this void space."

Lin Moyu was startled, staring at Zhu Qiwu in disbelief. 

He didn't know how large this void space was, but he was certain it was not small. It must be at least thousands of billions of kilometers, and the structure of the great world was three-dimensional. Such a method of destroying the void space, even gods could not accomplish.

Zhu Qiwu laughed, "Don't believe me? In fact, we didn't want to use such a strategic-level method either. The cost would be too great, and most of the time, it would not be worth it."

"And once this method is used, there will be many aftereffects."

If there really was no other way, to prevent the military star map from falling into the hands of the demon race, the human race would definitely spare no cost to launch a devastating attack on this void space. Now that Lin Moyu had appeared, he saw hope.

If Lin Moyu's technique could not achieve the desired effect, and He Renxing had already been killed, then the only option left would be to destroy the void space.

To destroy the void space along with the star map, rather than let it fall into the hands of the demon race.

Zhu Qiwu was still fiddling with the round ball in his hand. Lin Moyu's eyes flickered as he pondered every word Zhu Qiwu had said. He was almost certain that the military star map taken by He Renxing was not a simple matter.

The purpose of the star map was definitely not just to mark the locations of the star fortresses and outpost bases. It must have other functions. But these were not things he should worry about. His task now was to help Zhu Qiwu obtain the location of the star map from He Renxing's mouth. Once he completed this task, his mission would be accomplished.

Zhu Qiwu finally activated the round ball in his hand.

The ball burst into raging flames, emanating a dazzling golden light. It slowly rose from Zhu Qiwu's palm, radiating scorching light. The starry sky was illuminated, and the surrounding temperature rose sharply.

The ball rapidly expanded in the flames, transforming into a massive fireball over a thousand kilometers in diameter. "This is a star!"

Lin Moyu was slightly startled, not expecting Zhu Qiwu to produce a star.

Zhu Qiwu explained, "This is not a real star, but rather an artificial star. It has sealed enough stellar fire within, aided by formations, to temporarily serve as a star."

"Later, you will learn that in the great world, there are many dark races hiding in the shadows, like rats in a sewer."

"Only the brightest and purest light can burn and scorch these sewer rats to death."

Lin Moyu listened to Zhu Qiwu's words, which sounded like a chant, sensing a deep hatred within them.

Zhu Qiwu seemed to harbor a profound hatred towards those dark races lurking in the shadows, as well as those who betrayed the human race. This hatred stemmed from the depths of his heart, deeply rooted and profound.

Lin Moyu became curious about Zhu Qiwu's past.

He and Zhu Qiwu gazed at this artificial star. The star grew brighter, and the flames on its surface became more intense.

Apart from the pure and concentrated flame laws, Lin Moyu also sensed another profound law hidden within the flames, a law he had never encountered before, yet incredibly powerful.

This law seemed to possess consciousness, concealed within the flames, shrouded in mystery.

Zhu Qiwu murmured, "Rat, come out now!"

Lin Moyu felt that Zhu Qiwu seemed a bit different today, unlike his previous encounters.

Less than three seconds after Zhu Qiwu's words, a blazing flame suddenly ignited in the darkness ten million kilometers away. Then, a soul-wrenching scream rang out, and a figure ran out from the raging flames.

His entire body was enveloped in fire, his aura surging, but he could not extinguish the flames. He screamed incessantly, clearly in excruciating pain.

Lin Moyu found it strange. He Renxing was a god, and such flames should not be able to harm him. Yet his pain did not seem feigned.

Moreover, this pain seemed familiar to Lin Moyu. The soul!

Lin Moyu was startled. He finally understood that the flames were not only burning his flesh but also his soul. Zhu Qiwu wore a cold smile, "The sewer rat is always afraid of light."

His figure vanished, and in the next moment, he appeared before He Renxing, striking him with ten palms. He Renxing let out a terrified scream, "You can't kill..."

Before he could finish, his body was torn into four or five pieces.

Lin Moyu saw He Renxing's soul, which was being burned by the flames.

Even if a god's physical body is destroyed, relying solely on the soul, they can still exist in the world. Reshaping the physical body is not difficult for a god.

However, He Renxing's soul was like a bubble, instantly shattering and dissipating.

Lin Moyu saw it clearly. Zhu Qiwu did not take any action; his strikes, though fierce, were measured. He only destroyed He Renxing's physical body but did not harm his soul.

He Renxing's soul self-destructed due to some special reason.

Zhu Qiwu explained, "This is the despicable nature of the Bewitching Demon. Those who are bewitched, if their physical body is destroyed, their soul will also be destroyed."

"And if the soul becomes aware of the danger, it will also self-destruct. Even putting the soul into a coma is useless."

"This is equivalent to a restriction, a restriction that is difficult to break."

"We do have methods to temporarily block this restriction, but soul-searching will also be affected, and the information obtained will be minimal, or even wrong."

Lin Moyu nodded, "Leave it to me, I should be able to get the answer."

He summoned an undying flame, enveloping He Renxing's freshly deceased flesh and blood. The flesh and blood reorganized in the flames, and in an instant, He Renxing's physical body was reborn.

Immediately after, his soul aura emanated from his body, and his soul began to regenerate as well.

When He Renxing knelt before Lin Moyu, Lin Moyu nodded slightly towards Zhu Qiwu.

Zhu Qiwu immediately took out a magic stone, the kind often used by demons, and a strange chant emanated from the magic stone.
