Chapter 3962: Unintentionally Doing a Good Deed
Lin Moyu looked at the newcomer and greeted him calmly, "Human Lin Moyu greets the Tianyu Emperor. How did the Emperor know my name?"
The sudden appearance of the Tianyu Emperor was a surprise, but on reflection, it made sense. After all, he'd caused quite a commotion in the Great Spirit Domain, killing billions of void beasts how could the Emperor not notice? What surprised Lin Moyu was how the Tianyu Emperor knew his surname.
The Tianyu Emperor smiled, "No need to be surprised, Lin. Back when you took the Physical Great Dao in the real world, we already knew."
He used "we," implying at least one other person Lin Moyu guessed it was the Tianzhou Emperor.
Lin Moyu said softly, "It seems nothing can be hidden from you two Emperors."
The Tianyu Emperor replied, "At that time, you were in the real world, so we couldn't thank you in person. Now that you've come to the Great Spirit Domain, I wanted to thank you face to face."
Lin Moyu more or less understood why the Tianyu Emperor was grateful the Physical Great Dao had affected him as well. "Emperor, you're too polite. I simply wanted the Physical Great Dao for myself, and it just happened to help you too."
The Tianyu Emperor shook his head slightly, "Regardless of the reason, you helped us. This is a debt of karma we owe you. I have nothing material to thank you with, but I can give you a promise: if you ever call upon us, we will do one thing for you whatever it may be."
As he spoke, he condensed a token with Emperor power, inscribed with a special character. With this token, Lin Moyu could summon the Tianyu Emperor at any time. As long as it was within the Great Spirit Domain, the Emperor could arrive almost instantly. Such a promise from an Emperor "whatever it may be" carried immense weight.
Of course, Lin Moyu wouldn't abuse this promise or ask the Emperor to do something unreasonable. Interacting with Emperors required fairness; one shouldn't take advantage of their kindness.
Lin Moyu accepted the token. "Then I'll accept it. I do have one question: what effect did the Physical Great Dao have on you two Emperors?"
The Tianyu Emperor explained, "That special Great Dao was located at the center of the Tianzhou Great Spirit Domain, radiating outward and affecting both our domains. My own domain was affected less, but it still caused problems with my cultivation even innate origin treasures couldn't suppress its influence. Simply put, it made the Great Spirit Domain unstable. The impact on the Tianzhou Domain was even greater even innate origin treasures were suppressed, and the Tianzhou Emperor's cultivation dropped to the Dao Lord level. To keep our domains stable, we were both trapped and couldn't leave. Fortunately, you took away the Physical Great Dao, allowing us to recover."
For an Emperor, being suppressed to the Dao Lord level was unbearable. No wonder he owed Lin Moyu such a great favor the consequences had indeed been severe. Lin Moyu had unintentionally done both Emperors a huge favor.
Lin Moyu said, "Perhaps this is fate. After hardship comes smooth sailing for you both."
The Tianyu Emperor smiled, "Are you heading to Void Kunlun?"
"Yes, I'm going to Void Kunlun, and I'm also searching for a certain place. Since you're here, could I trouble you to help me search for ten worlds?"
He'd always wanted to find the world from his previous life. The Discernment Beast had once said it was in the Jianmu Great Spirit Domain, but Lin Moyu found nothing there. The Human Sovereign, who knew the domain best, confirmed it wasn't there. That left a few possibilities: the Discernment Beast was mistaken (which was most likely), it had lied (unlikely), or the world had vanished for some reason (possibly related to the green robed old man).
If the world wasn't in Jianmu, the only other options were Tianyu or Tianzhou. He wasn't sure if his old world had cultivators if it did, it was probably in Tianyu; if not, then Tianzhou. He wasn't obsessed with finding it, just nostalgic and curious.
"It's a star world. I'm not sure if there are cultivators. If there are, they're not strong. On one of the planets, there's a country called Huaxia."
The Tianyu Emperor nodded, "That will be hard to find, but I'll do my best."
Such a nondescript world, with an unremarkable planet and a country named Huaxia, would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Lin Moyu said, "No need to force it. Thank you, Tianyu Emperor."
The Tianyu Emperor chuckled, "It's nothing. If I find anything, I'll let you know right away."
Lin Moyu nodded, bid farewell, and set out for the Tianzhou Great Spirit Domain. The journey to Void Kunlun was long, requiring him to cross both domains and then fly for decades more. If his cultivation were higher, like an Emperor or an eternal being, travel would be much easier.
Life returned to normal for Lin Moyu fusing Daos and producing Great Dao origin aura along the way. The Soul Refining Furnace never stopped burning, and he still had a mountain of soul crystals to refine.
Ten years passed in a flash; along the way, he killed a dozen desolate beasts and two Beast Kings. He noticed that in this vacuum, the number of beasts had dropped now only one or two a year, compared to one a month before. He suspected this was due to the lingering influence of the Physical Great Dao.
After ten years, Lin Moyu reached the Tianzhou Great Spirit Domain. It seemed even older than Tianyu, with a stifling atmosphere. The power of the Great Dao was extremely thin, both in the Soul Void and the real world; the local beings couldn't cultivate at all.
Upon entering the Tianzhou Domain, countless soul flames appeared in the void just as many void beasts as in Tianyu, making it another feast for Lin Moyu. He followed his planned route, checking several worlds along the way. The changes matched his expectations: once proud technological achievements were now mostly useless, with only a few surviving. Technology was collapsing, and theology was rising. In some worlds, people declared "science is dead, long live theology," or "the end of science is theology." The transformation had begun, but would take a long time. The technological path was gone for good.
As he crossed the Tianzhou Domain, slaughtering void beasts, Little Python was the most excited of all. The Tianzhou Emperor, knowing Lin Moyu's route, waited outside the domain. When Lin Moyu emerged, he met the Tianzhou Emperor, who, like the Tianyu Emperor, thanked him and offered a similar promise. Lin Moyu also asked him to help search for his previous world though he knew it was a long shot, he still hoped to try.
