Chapter 3946: A Fierce One Arrives
Lin Moyu's thoughts were in turmoil as he sorted through all the information he knew, ultimately arriving at some ambiguous conclusions.
"There are secrets in the Origin Ancestral Land, and these secrets may concern the very core of heaven and earth itself.
The eye that appears during Great Dao punishment seems to have also been seen in the Origin Ancestral Land it should exist there.
The Origin Ancestral Land is the place where the Dao begins, and also where it ends. It looks like I'll have to become a Great Dao Lord myself before I can truly understand it."
Over a month later, the World Burning Fire extinguished, and Lin Moyu held a new world crystal in his hand.
"Next!"
Following the direction indicated by the Spirit Domain Disk, a red line shot out, and Little Python followed along.
After the battle where the Lord of Darkness fled into the Origin Ancestral Land, Lin Moyu had achieved a complete victory, and the remaining Great Dao Lord had also quieted down. It was as if they had accepted Lin Moyu's existence and the fate of those worlds.
The worlds that had become entangled in karma with Lin Moyu at the start fell into utter panic. Some tried to escape, but to no avail. The Great Dao Lords had made it clear: under karmic entanglement, no matter where they ran, they would be found the only outcome for these worlds was destruction.
But the Alien Alliance's troubles didn't end there. After returning, Xuanyang Dao Lord roused another secluded Great Dao Lord, and together they began attacking the Alien Alliance. The Redstone Great Spirit Domain became lively; for once, the human race held the advantage. While this wouldn't fundamentally change things, it meant that for a while, life would be much better for the humans.
Ordinary people couldn't sense this, but Dao Lords felt it keenly. Where they once defended against the Alien Alliance, now they were on the offensive, forcing the Alien Alliance to defend. This shift excited the human Dao Lords after countless years of stifled frustration, they could finally vent.
The Alien Alliance now faced a large scale human offensive, and the Redstone Great Spirit Domain was in turmoil. After the great battle, no one paid attention to Lin Moyu anymore. The worlds entangled in karma with him were eventually all refined by him.
After refining several worlds, the World Burning Fire grew much stronger, though Lin Moyu felt it still hadn't reached its limit. It could continue to grow, but for now, this was enough.
No one from the Alien Alliance dared provoke Lin Moyu anymore; the remaining Great Dao Lord had clearly told everyone to avoid getting involved with him or becoming entangled in karma. Without karma, Lin Moyu wouldn't act to destroy worlds he didn't like too much karma either.
Two years after entering the Redstone Great Spirit Domain, Lin Moyu arrived at Wang Yan's world and saw Wang Yan guarding outside the world from afar.
"Lin Dao Friend, you've returned?" Wang Yan was surprised by Lin Moyu's arrival, but then seemed to realize something, his expression lighting up.
Lin Moyu smiled, "Of course, I'm here to fulfill my promise. Although some things have changed, what I promised hasn't."
With that, Lin Moyu gathered Dao power at his fingertip and gently pointed at Wang Yan. "This secret art, keep it safe."
A beam of light shot toward Wang Yan, who trusted Lin Moyu and accepted it without hesitation.
"Soul Seizing Art!"
Wang Yan quickly absorbed the secret technique, his soul trembling. "Thank you, Lin Dao Friend. This kindness and virtue, all the humans of the Redstone Great Spirit Domain can never repay."
Though there were Great Dao Lords above, they mostly balanced each other, so most worlds still had to rely on themselves. With the Soul Seizing Art Lin Moyu brought, given time, these worlds could become much stronger.
A Dao Lord could control a world, evolve its world will, and become a World Lord. While an ordinary World Lord was only a bit stronger than a Dao Lord and far weaker than a Great Dao Lord, the path of the World Lord was easier. At its peak, combined with a powerful world will, a World Lord could even rival a Great Dao Lord in combat.
Lin Moyu said, "I've fulfilled my promise, but I have one more request."
Wang Yan, in great spirits, saw Lin Moyu as a benefactor and agreed without hesitation. "Whatever you ask, Lin Dao Friend, just say the word."
"I'm a gentleman before a villain," Lin Moyu said. "Please swear a Great Dao oath not to reveal the source of this technique, or your soul will be annihilated, your true spirit shattered, and you'll never reincarnate."
Great Dao oaths vary in severity, and Dao Lords have many ways to circumvent them. Some oaths sound harsh like being smashed to pieces but for a Dao Lord, that's not a big deal. But Lin Moyu's requested oath was extremely strict: soul annihilation and true spirit shattering meant true extinction.
He had no choice the Soul Seizing Art was related to the Human Sovereign, and if word got out, the Human Sovereign might come after him. Even though he bore the Human Sovereign's mark, that didn't mean the Human Sovereign wouldn't turn on him.
Wang Yan understood and immediately swore, "I, Wang Yan, will never reveal the source of the Soul Seizing Art. If I do, may my soul be annihilated, my true spirit shattered, and I never reincarnate."
He swore exactly as Lin Moyu asked, without any loopholes. The Dao thundered, indicating that heaven and earth had accepted the oath. When a Dao Lord swears, heaven and earth enforce it if broken, punishment is certain.
Now, Lin Moyu was essentially separated from the Soul Seizing Art. Once Wang Yan spread it, others would only know it came from Wang Yan. Lin Moyu trusted that Wang Yan wasn't foolish; he would surely have others swear even stricter oaths. As for whom Wang Yan taught the technique, that was his business.
Wang Yan asked, "You needed help before, but not anymore?"
Lin Moyu shook his head. "Things changed, and so did my plans."
Wang Yan nodded. "I may be just a minor Dao Lord, but if you ever need me, even if it means death, I'll be there."
Lin Moyu could tell he meant it. Wang Yan was just as honest and loyal as he'd seemed at first. If it had been someone sly, Lin Moyu wouldn't have bothered to come deliver the Soul Seizing Art in person.
They chatted for a while, and Lin Moyu learned about recent events in the Redstone Great Spirit Domain. Now, the human worlds had mobilized many Dao Lords, led by two Great Dao Lords, to attack the Alien Alliance. These Dao Lords were carefully chosen for both strength and the compatibility of their Daos otherwise, if someone with a rare Dao attacked a world where that Dao didn't exist, they'd be useless.
The two Great Dao Lords were experienced and knew the Alien Alliance's worlds well, so they picked their people accordingly.
Wang Yan said, "I don't know where this fierce one came from, but he single handedly destroyed so many Alien Alliance worlds and drove off the Lord of Darkness, giving us humans a chance."
Lin Moyu just smiled and didn't answer. Wang Yan clearly hadn't connected the "fierce one" with Lin Moyu.
After chatting for half a day, Lin Moyu took his leave. His karma with Wang Yan was now settled, and they might never meet again.
Such is life even if one lives for eons, some people are only ever met once.
