 Chapter 3283: The Origin of the Netherworld Race

Lin Moyu waved his hand, and a beam of light fell from the sky, enveloping the small village.

A Great Dao appeared in the air, hazy and half-real.

Little Mei recognized it at a glance, "The Time Great Dao! So Teacher has comprehended the Time Great Dao!"

Having dissolved her body and reincarnated, Little Mei's true spirit had once entered the river of time, so she could naturally recognize the Time Great Dao at a glance.

Seeing Lin Moyu use the Time Great Dao now, Little Mei's eyes showed surprise.

There weren't many people who could comprehend the Time Great Dao. Each one was a genius.

But on second thought, she didn't seem very surprised that Lin Moyu could comprehend the Time Great Dao.

Her teacher in this life was unfathomable. Whatever he did seemed normal.

Lin Moyu smiled slightly without speaking. He pointed his finger lightly, "Time Reversal!"

The Time Great Dao cast down a large screen of light. Events that had happened in the small village began to rapidly reverse.

These people hadn't been captured for too long. With Lin Moyu's current ability, he could fully reverse to that time.

Time rapidly rewound. Batches of people appeared in the projection, basically all those who had been captured.

Each batch of captured people would be taken to a well in front of them, then thrown in. They would be fished out after a while.

When fished out, some people had already lost their minds, becoming like walking corpses.

Some people never appeared again.

Those who had lost their minds would all become food for the Netherworld race. They were all cultivators, with considerable power contained in their bodies.

The Netherworld race directly treated them as heavenly treasures, refining and eating them in a special way.

This scene was somewhat cruel, enough to frighten many timid people. Lin Moyu watched with an icy gaze, feeling nothing.

Little Mei had experiences from her previous life. Having seen life and death, she didn't feel any discomfort.

However, when she saw the Netherworld race refining and eating people, anger flashed in Little Mei's eyes.

Little Mei gritted her teeth, her crisp voice turning cold, "Why are they doing this?"

Lin Moyu said, "To evolve Netherworld race people."

In the time reversal, a black shadow suddenly crawled out of the ancient well that had swallowed who knows how many people. The black shadow was a Netherworld race person.

The Netherworld race evolved from the ancient well. As soon as they emerged, they possessed intelligence and a certain cultivation realm.

The other Netherworld race people held a celebration ceremony for the addition of a new race member.

At the ceremony, their food was those refined people.

Lin Moyu asked softly, "Most of those they captured are humans, and not of high cultivation. Does Little Mei know why?"

Little Mei said, "Because among all races, the beast race and human race are the most numerous. The beast race has the Beast Emperor, so they don't dare go there. The human race has no ruling king, so even if they capture some, no one will care."

Lin Moyu said, "What else?"

As before, Lin Moyu still had Little Mei seek the root of the problem. Clearly the previous answer wasn't enough.

Little Mei thought for a moment, "Besides that, I can't think of any other reason."

Lin Moyu said, "There's one more reason. Because the beast race isn't smart enough. Humans, regardless of realm, are smarter than the beast race."

"This is also one of the reasons they choose humans. Otherwise they could completely choose spirit beasts or other animals."

Little Mei nodded. Lin Moyu was right.

She also knew the Netherworld race wasn't stupid, and this intelligence naturally didn't come from nowhere.

The soul intelligence absorbed from humans by the Netherworld Black Pool was the foundation of the Netherworld race's intelligence.

Little Mei said, "Thank you for your guidance, Teacher."

Little Mei realized her way of looking at problems was indeed still a bit inferior to Lin Moyu's.

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "You're very smart. Actually, if you just think a bit more, you'll naturally understand."

Now that they had figured out why the Netherworld race captured people, the next steps were simple.

Over so many years, who knows how many people they had captured and eaten.

Such a Netherworld race had no reason to exist anymore.

Killing them not only didn't incur karma, but might even bring rewards, strengthening one's own destiny.

Lin Moyu removed the time reversal and came to the ancient well at the center of the village.

Waves of black qi emanated from the ancient well, more concentrated than the black qi on the ground.

Little Mei looked into the ancient well and immediately felt uncomfortable.

Lin Moyu said, "When hell shattered back then, the Netherworld Black Pool also shattered, falling onto this land."

"Large pieces of the Netherworld Black Pool evolved into these ancient wells before us. More fragments turned this land into its current state."

"Each ancient well can be seen as a weakened version of the Netherworld Black Pool. Though not strong, it has most of the functions of the Netherworld Black Pool. This is what created the Netherworld race."

Lin Moyu had sorted out the origin of the Netherworld race.

Little Mei said, "So the Netherworld race shouldn't exist in this world."

Lin Moyu nodded slightly, "That's right. They aren't normal living beings. They belong to hell, not here."

"If they have any meaning for existence, it's to become food for the Netherworld Black Dragon, nothing more."

Little Mei nodded. In her view, such a disgusting Netherworld race indeed had no reason to exist.

Lin Moyu pointed at the ancient well. The Skeleton Hell appeared along with spatial distortions, enveloping it.

According to Lin Moyu's analysis, the ancient well evolved from fragments of the Netherworld Black Pool in the once real hell.

So he should be able to absorb it using the Netherworld Black Pool in his Skeleton Hell.

And what was most important in the Netherworld Black Pool? Naturally the Netherworld Black Dragon.

In legend, the Netherworld Black Dragon could rival the dragon race ancestor, incredibly powerful.

As soon as the Skeleton Hell appeared, a resounding dragon roar sounded.

From the Netherworld Black Pool in the Skeleton Hell, a pitch-black dragon head emerged. Its eyes full of excitement looked at the ancient well, then rushed over, opening its huge mouth to bite down.

The Netherworld Black Dragon bit the mouth of the ancient well, then pulled hard.

Boom!

The earth rumbled, cracking open like a volcanic eruption.

The Netherworld Black Dragon forcibly pulled out the ancient well. At the very bottom of the ancient well, Lin Moyu and Little Mei saw a fragment about the size of a head.

Little Mei said, "Is this the fragment of the Netherworld Black Pool?"

Lin Moyu made a sound of agreement, "It should be."

The Netherworld Black Dragon bit the ancient well, eating it mouthful by mouthful.

Its sharp teeth grinding against the ancient well produced a teeth-clenching scraping sound.

The Netherworld Black Dragon ate with relish, biting down hard, accompanied by excitement.

Before long, it had eaten the ancient well clean, swallowing the Netherworld Black Pool fragment as well.

After eating the Netherworld Black Pool fragment, the Netherworld Black Pool in the Skeleton Hell immediately rumbled, emitting more black qi.

The Netherworld Black Dragon continuously let out dragon roars, each louder than the last.

Lin Moyu found the Netherworld Black Dragon had become stronger, more powerful than ever before.

He felt the current Netherworld Black Dragon was enough to rival a seventh level Dao Venerable.

Most importantly, the Netherworld Black Pool in the Skeleton Hell seemed to be becoming increasingly real.

This was after eating just one ancient well. There were over a hundred such ancient wells in Netherworld race territory.

If it could eat them all, perhaps the Netherworld Black Pool in the Skeleton Hell would become as powerful as in that prehistoric era.

Having eaten everything clean, Lin Moyu said softly, "Let's go. On to the next one!"
