Chapter 4038: Lin Moyu's Story
In the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed since Lin Moyu left the Origin Continent.
During that century, legends about Lin Moyu never ceased. Some news spread from Yuedao City, explaining what had happened back then. Cultivators from Yuedao City who traveled abroad brought stories with them.
According to the stories, the Origin Continent had gone through two eras: the Insect Race era and the Buddhist Race era. Both eras were ultimately buried and destroyed. The one behind these buried eras was the world will.
In the stories, the world will tried to sacrifice all living beings in the world in order to break through to a higher realm. But in the end, this sacrifice was stopped by Lin Moyu, who became the hero who saved the entire world.
These stories spread widely across the Origin Continent, spawning many versions, but the content was mostly the same: the evil of the world will, and the righteousness of Lin Moyu, never changed. In the stories, Lin Moyu's genius was beyond belief he surpassed all the geniuses of three eras, standing alone at the top, unmatched by anyone. The stories eventually reached the Outer Great Dao. Some people scoffed, admitting Lin Moyu was strong, but doubting the so called "three eras." But others believed there must be some truth to the rumors; even if the stories were exaggerated, the gist was correct.
After all, many had witnessed the madness of the world will. The world will really did have the power to destroy an era, and the whole process, combined with Lin Moyu's arrangements, matched the stories. In the end, whether true or false was no longer important the most important thing was that this world now truly belonged to Lin Moyu.
Even though Lin Moyu never declared himself the master of the world, everyone knew in their hearts that this world was under his control. Yuedao City had become the core holy land of the world, with countless visitors every day.
In Yuedao City, there stood a ten thousand meter tall statue modeled after Lin Moyu. Over the past century, many places on the Origin Continent had erected statues of Lin Moyu, but the largest was in Yuedao City. Perhaps out of awe for Lin Moyu's power, no one dared disrespect the statues; instead, many came daily to pray before them.
Lin Moyu's image, battling heaven and earth, had become the idol of countless cultivators everyone wanted to become the next Lin Moyu. For a hundred years, the Origin Continent had enjoyed peace and stability, with no major conflicts, and it seemed the future would be the same. Lin Moyu's prestige had not diminished at all; in fact, as the stories spread, his worshipers only grew in number.
Although new geniuses kept emerging, people always compared them to Lin Moyu, only to realize just how monstrous Lin Moyu truly was.
Outside the Origin Continent, in the world's mist, two figures appeared. Separated by billions of miles, they watched the Origin Continent, seeing everything that happened there. Space was no barrier to their eyes.
"Heh!"
A cold laugh sounded. "Who would have thought, one of us is darkness, the other light, and we'd end up joining forces against a single enemy."
With that laugh, the Lord of Darkness revealed himself. In front of him, the God of Light also gazed at the Origin Continent.
He folded his wings and murmured, "There's no need to say such things. There are no eternal enemies in this world; we just walk different Daos. No matter what our Daos are, even if we were enemies before, it doesn't matter. What matters now is dealing with Lin Moyu."
"He's already become a Great Dao Lord we can't kill him."
Both the Lord of Darkness and the God of Light knew how formidable Lin Moyu was. Both had suffered at his hands and only survived by fleeing to the Origin Ancestral Land.
The Lord of Darkness chuckled, "Even if we can't kill him, we can destroy his world and kill all his friends and family. When he returns from the Origin Ancestral Land and finds everything gone, I wonder what his expression will be."
His laugh was chilling, full of murderous intent, like a beast lurking in the dark.
The God of Light said, "But how can you be sure he really went to the Origin Ancestral Land?"
The Lord of Darkness replied, "I snuck into his world for more than ten years and found he wasn't there. Besides, a hundred years ago, both of us saw the passage to the Origin Ancestral Land open, and someone entered. It wasn't far from here. Besides, if this were a trap, I would have been discovered when I snuck in. With his strength, I doubt I could have hidden from him."
The God of Light was still pondering, not making a decision right away.
The Lord of Darkness continued, "You found this place based on your old memories, but you're still afraid to make a move. So what's the point of coming here? Don't forget how embarrassing it was last time. Now we're probably the laughingstock of those guys."
The God of Light's face darkened. When he fought Lin Moyu before, he was forced to flee to the Origin Ancestral Land a shameful thing. Later, in the Ancestral Land, he ran into the Lord of Darkness and realized they'd both escaped from Lin Moyu. So they joined forces to deal with Lin Moyu. Using information left by the Celestial Race, the God of Light found the Origin Continent's location. He knew the Origin Continent had a world will, and, using a treasure, deduced that Lin Moyu would have to deal with the world will, leading to a great battle. They planned to take advantage of the chaos and have the world will kill Lin Moyu for them. They knew that even together, they'd struggle to kill Lin Moyu head on, but with the world will's help, it would be easier.
But they miscalculated. Lin Moyu had anticipated them, arranging for the Discernment Beast and the Human Sovereign to handle them. They were forced to flee in disgrace.
The God of Light said, "You're right. If we've found this place but don't act, there's no point. But Lin Moyu is cunning we can't be careless. Let's wait a bit longer. After becoming a Great Dao Lord, he must enter the Origin Ancestral Land within a thousand years, and once inside, he must stay for at least a thousand years before returning. Destroying his world won't take that long; we can wait a few more centuries."
The Lord of Darkness wasn't in a hurry; he just wanted an answer. "Fine, let's wait."
In a flash, another five hundred years passed.
During those five centuries, Lin Moyu never reappeared only his legend continued to spread. The number of people who worshiped him only grew.
Finally, in the six hundredth year after Lin Moyu became a Great Dao Lord, the sky over the Origin Continent suddenly darkened. Not just the Origin Continent the entire Outer Heaven Dao darkened as well.
Endless darkness surged from the mists outside the world, beginning to envelop everything. Above the world, a formation blazed to life, and a giant appeared. This was not the world will, but something even greater, manifesting as the world's guardian. Fists rained down, scattering the darkness.
From within the darkness, countless phantoms charged out, attacking the formation from all sides. The giant and the darkness clashed, evenly matched.
Countless Great Dao realm cultivators and several Great Dao Lords appeared on the Outer Great Dao, watching this sudden, epic battle. Some Dao Lords looked grim. "A Great Dao Lord is invading!"
