 Chapter 2877: Under the Great Dao, All Are Ants 

The thunder chains instantly fell, simultaneously locking Lin Moyu's hands, feet, and neck. 

The eight thunder chains turned into five, reducing in number, but the total strength remained unchanged. 

Then the thunder chains suddenly pulled up, suspending Lin Moyu in mid-air. 

Lin Moyu awoke, looking gravely at the elder, "Senior, what are you doing?" 

He asked knowingly, as when the elder locked him with the thunder chains, there was no need to ask what he intended. 

In Lin Moyu's eyes, the elder had become his mortal enemy. 

His logic was simple: if you intend to harm me, even slightly, I will destroy you. 

If you have helped me, I will repay you tenfold. 

Now, the elder suddenly locked him up, clearly not intending to help him. 

Lin Moyu sensed danger from the elder, and his intuition kept warning him. 

The elder's voice remained gentle, "Little guy, do you know what reward I asked from the Great Dao?" 

Lin Moyu shook his head, "I don't know, why don't you tell me?" 

As he spoke, Lin Moyu's thoughts raced, searching for a way to escape. 

There was a way to escape, such as self-detonation. 

After self-detonation and rebirth, he could naturally escape. 

But it was meaningless, as this was the secret vault, the domain of this Great Dao realm elder. 

Even the powerful extraterrestrial god could only be locked here for countless years. 

Even if he escaped now, he would be locked up again in the next second. 

There was no point in doing something useless. 

But besides this method, Lin Moyu couldn't find a good way. 

If the elder intended to kill him, the mark left by the Heavenly Thunder Daoist would be activated. 

The Heavenly Thunder Daoist was a Dao Sovereign Ninth Realm, and his mark would not be as strong as his true self. 

Given the current situation, even if the Heavenly Thunder Daoist himself came, he might not be a match for this elder. 

The elder was once a Great Dao realm expert, and even in death, with only a remnant soul, his strength was still formidable. 

Moreover, no one knew what reward he had asked from the Great Dao. 

Facing the crisis, Lin Moyu remained calm, hoping to get more information from the elder. 

The elder smiled, "Originally, I wanted the Great Dao to help me reincarnate. With my identity and strength, reincarnation would likely allow me to glimpse the Great Dao again and return to the Great Dao realm." 

"But that would take a long time, and no one can guarantee there won't be accidents during cultivation." 

"Besides, the current Origin Continent is not the same as it was." 

"Origin spirit veins are scarce, and becoming a Great Dao realm expert again is much harder than before." 

"So I decided to use a simpler method and borrow your body." 

Lin Moyu seemed to be stunned, "How do you plan to borrow it?" 

How to borrow? It could only mean possession, taking over the body. 

Lin Moyu immediately thought of the answer. 

The elder laughed, "You're smart, you must have guessed I want to possess you, but ordinary possession won't work. If the soul and body don't match, it's impossible to enter the Great Dao." 

"So I will use the Thunder Great Dao to erase your consciousness and use your soul as a shell to live again." 

"You have origin spells, the Great Dao of Strength, the Luck Great Dao, all of which Heaven will help you inherit." 

Lin Moyu asked, "What exactly did you ask from the Great Dao?" 

The elder said, "Haven't you guessed? Or are you afraid to say it?" 

Lin Moyu said, "At this point, there's nothing to fear. I guess your former strength was great, but you used all your power to lock the extraterrestrial god, so you shouldn't have any strength left for other things." 

"Moreover, you've fallen, and besides controlling these thunder chains, your remnant soul should have no other abilities." 

"You must have asked the Great Dao to restore your power; only then can you erase my consciousness and use my soul as a shell." 

Clap, clap, clap! 

The elder suddenly clapped his hands, "You're really smart, you guessed right." 

Lin Moyu continued, "I also guess that your strength in life was too great, and although the Great Dao reward is good, it can't restore you to your peak, at most two or three parts." 

"And the restoration time is limited." 

The elder suddenly laughed heartily, "You guessed right again. Indeed, only one part of my strength is restored, but even that is stronger than a Dao Sovereign Ninth Realm." 

"Little guy, you have no idea of the gap between the Great Dao realm and a Dao Sovereign." 

Lin Moyu had no doubt about the elder's words; one part of a Great Dao realm's strength must be stronger than a Dao Sovereign Ninth Realm. 

The elder continued, "Well, time is almost up. Do you have any last words? Perhaps I can help you with something in the future." 

"But if you don't say anything, it's fine. Although I will erase your consciousness, I won't erase your memories. Everything you know will become mine." 

Lin Moyu's expression remained unchanged as he asked, "Senior, I have two more questions." 

The elder said, "Ask away." 

Lin Moyu said, "I want to know your name. Even if I'm going to die, I should at least know who killed me, right? Otherwise, it would be too pitiful." 

The elder laughed, "Your thinking is indeed different from ordinary people. No harm in telling you, my name is Jin Lei, known as the Thunder Lock Daoist." 

"Now that you know my name, you should be at peace. What's your last question?" 

Lin Moyu said, "So it's Senior Jin. My last question is, why did you fight the extraterrestrial god back then? With your character, you shouldn't have made such a choice. I'm very puzzled." 

Jin Lei's expression changed slightly; Lin Moyu's question was essentially an insult to his character. 

At his level, he valued face greatly, and Lin Moyu's indirect insult displeased him. 

Jin Lei sneered, "Considering you're about to die, I'll let you insult me a bit. I'll tell you about the past. Back then, when fighting the extraterrestrial god, there were only two choices: kill the opponent or be killed." 

"If you dared to escape, the Great Dao would punish you, and such punishment is unbearable." 

"Since you're so curious, I'll tell you one more thing: under the Great Dao, we're all ants. Don't think entering the Great Dao realm means immortality." 

"Even a Dao Master is just a bigger ant." 

"Under the Great Dao, all are ants!" 

With these words, Jin Lei rushed towards Lin Moyu. 

At the same time, the thunder chains exploded with powerful force, the terrifying power of thunder bursting through the chains. 

Just like when they locked the extraterrestrial god, the thunder's power was all-pervasive, paralyzing the body and soul, putting the soul into a comatose state. 

The extraterrestrial god was killed by Lin Moyu with the Scourge Staff in such a state. 

But this time, the thunder chains only paralyzed Lin Moyu's body, not his soul. 

Because Jin Lei wanted to erase Lin Moyu's consciousness and occupy his soul.
