Chapter 4035: Heaven and Earth Celebrate, All Daos Pay Homage
Hearing An Yuyan's words, the Human Sovereign was momentarily stunned.
"To die!"
For an eternal being like him, this word was so unfamiliar. He was eternal how could he die? At most, he could fall silent for a time, but would always return. Yet An Yuyan was also an eternal; she would not speak idly.
The Human Sovereign asked, "Can you be more specific?"
An Yuyan shook her head slightly. "I have glimpsed the fruit. If you persist, you truly will die. Don't doubt it eternals can be killed. You saw Lin Daoist's palm, didn't you? He held back most of his strength. If he went all out, do you think you could withstand it? In the future, when Lin Daoist enters the Land of Return, if he targets your Dao, will your Heavenly Dao be able to resist?"
The Human Sovereign frowned deeply. "To make a move in the Land of Return unless he's gone mad, that one wouldn't allow it."
An Yuyan replied, "That one won't interfere."
The Human Sovereign's expression changed. "Is this only what you saw?"
An Yuyan nodded. "Lin Daoist's return is the trend of destiny, unstoppable by human effort. Anyone who stands in his way will be crushed to powder. That's all I'll say. If you still want to act, I won't stop you, but don't expect to drag me into it." With that, An Yuyan left, and the Human Sovereign did not stop her.
Clearly, the Human Sovereign was considering her words. After all, they were both at the same level, and he could not ignore her warning. In the end, he looked toward the Origin Continent, sighed, and slowly shook his head. "It seems this path is closed."
…
Lin Moyu felt himself merging with the Immortality Dao, able to use eighty percent of its power many times stronger than before. But he was still half a step from truly stepping into the Dao's essence. Now he fully understood the difference between a Dao Lord and a Dao Lord.
"A Dao Lord is indeed much stronger than a Dao Lord, mainly due to a change in status. From a user and manipulator of the Dao, one becomes its owner."
A Dao Lord manipulates the Dao; a Dao Lord owns it, able to strip any Dao Lord of access to that Dao. Once a Dao has a Dao Lord, no Dao Lord can compete. At a Dao Lord's whim, Dao Lords cannot use the Dao's power at all. Without the Dao's power, what are they?
Thus, even among Dao Lords, the gap between a Dao Lord and an ordinary Dao Lord is vast like heaven and earth. But the gap between a Dao Lord and an eternal is not as great. The eternal's advantage is entering the Land of Return and gaining the world's recognition; as long as their Dao remains in the Land of Return, they cannot die. That's the eternal's advantage. In terms of power, they are somewhat stronger, but the gap is not as large as between Dao Lord and Dao Lord.
The Immortality Dao was special. Lin Moyu had not yet entered the Land of Return, so he could control about eighty percent of the Dao's power. The remaining twenty percent was the difference between an eternal and a Dao Lord.
Having achieved Dao Lord, Lin Moyu understood many truths and the distinctions between levels. Vaguely, he saw the limit of the world. He knew that beyond was the world's ultimate limit.
The world finally calmed, no longer trembling, but the rumbling grew even louder. Infinite rays of light shone from heaven and earth, enveloping the Origin Continent. Daos appeared in the sky some not even present on the Origin Continent. All the Daos shone and resonated, as if celebrating Lin Moyu.
A new Dao Lord had appeared in the world; all Daos paid homage!
All cultivators above the Great Dao realm simultaneously received a message from heaven and earth: Lin Moyu had become a Dao Lord.
Whoosh!
All at the Great Dao realm, willing or not, simultaneously knelt. The might of heaven and earth forced them to bow to the Dao Lord and offer their blessings. Whether they wanted to or not, they had no choice.
Heaven and earth are infinite, cultivators are infinite, the Great Dao realm is infinite, Dao Lords are infinite, but there can only be one Dao Lord per Dao. Thus, a Dao Lord's status is fundamentally different from all other cultivators in the eyes of heaven and earth.
Lin Moyu chuckled, "What a commotion!"
He hadn't expected becoming a Dao Lord would cause such a stir heaven and earth celebrating, all Daos paying homage.
As he received the world's congratulations, Lin Moyu also received a message: within a thousand years, he must enter the Origin Ancestral Land and remain there for a thousand years before returning. This is the Dao Lord's mission, assigned by the rules of heaven and earth. Every ten thousand years, a Dao Lord must spend five thousand years in the Origin Ancestral Land, and after each entry, must wait a thousand years before returning. As for what to do inside, he would only find out after entering. The world granted Lin Moyu the authority to open the passage at will.
Among the myriad Daos, Lin Moyu vaguely saw a pair of eyes those of the Candle Dragon, who had also come to celebrate. "Didn't expect him to come congratulate me how rare." The Candle Dragon's eyes sent two beams of light as a congratulatory gift.
Lin Moyu closed his eyes, enjoying the world's celebration, feeling his physical body strengthen further. His body had always been among the strongest at his level, rivaled only by those who specialized in body cultivation. After all, he had tempered his body with the Power Dao countless times. Now, under the tempering of heaven and earth, his body grew even stronger. His soul, however, remained unchanged, already at the world's limit any further, and he would transcend the world and be rejected by it.
After a long while, the Daos faded and the world returned to peace. Lin Moyu stood in the void, as if he were the world's center, with everything revolving around him. It felt strange, but when everyone felt it, it became fact: the Origin Continent truly was Lin Moyu's world now. He was already nurturing a new world will, which would become his subordinate. More precisely, this world belonged to Lin Moyu; any future world will would merely be his tool for managing it.
With a wave, Lin Moyu released Antares's true spirit imprint, returning it to the Origin Continent. The matter was resolved; Antares no longer needed to seek a new world or enter Lin Moyu's Great Thousand World. He could remain peacefully as the Dragon God of the Origin Continent. As for his recent death… just count it as a wasted effort, and take a few tens of thousands of years to recover. One could imagine how frustrated Antares would be when he learned all this he'd just been a bit player, got hurt, and it was all for nothing. "There are gains and losses." But thinking of how Antares was fancied by Long Yi, maybe it wasn't such a loss.
Suddenly, countless voices came from all directions: "Greetings, Dao Lord!"
All cultivators above the Great Dao realm bowed to Lin Moyu.
