Chapter 3687: Don't Underestimate Me
"On the Origin Continent, internal conflicts are allowed, but harming ordinary lives is not. Whoever violates this will face my merciless wrath."
Lin Moyu's voice, imbued with the power of the Great Dao, spread across the entire Origin Continent through the authority granted by the Mandate of Heaven. Billions of living beings—humans, demons, sea creatures, dragons, insects, and spirit beasts—heard his words without exception. Language barriers were irrelevant, as everyone heard the message in their native tongue. Lin Moyu used the Heavenly Speech, under which there was no such thing as not understanding.
At that moment, thunderstorms swept across the Origin Continent, with lightning striking everywhere. The Great Dao used its own method to inform everyone that Lin Moyu's words were true.
Ordinary lives were often seen as insignificant by some strong cultivators. Killing millions wouldn't even raise an eyebrow. However, Lin Moyu understood that ordinary lives were the true foundation of the Origin Continent.
The Question Dao Sect's actions had already led to a severe decline in their fortune, and Lin Moyu's appearance was essentially a heavenly punishment. Therefore, destroying the Question Dao Sect wouldn't incur punishment from the heavens.
However, many self-proclaimed strong cultivators didn't understand this.
The World-Burning Fire continued to rage, and the Question Dao Sect's strong members had all been killed. The countless vengeful spirits in the black cloud were also being refined.
By now, nearly nine out of ten of the Question Dao Sect's strong members had died. Lin Moyu extinguished the World-Burning Fire and flew towards the Question Dao Sect's mountain gate. This was just a branch; many more disciples remained at the main gate.
Those disciples might not have participated in the war or stained their hands with blood. But this didn't matter; they would still die. They had made the choice to join the Question Dao Sect, and everyone must take responsibility for their choices.
If they were innocent, then the millions of ordinary people who died were even more so. The Question Dao Sect was finished, and everyone knew Lin Moyu wouldn't spare anyone.
Lin Moyu revealed his ruthlessness to all, showing them what true dominance meant. Upon arriving at the Question Dao Sect, he released over a hundred divine runes, weaving them into a simple confinement Formation. The Sea Skeleton God General then charged in, killing everyone.
The protective Formation collapsed, the mountains crumbled, and the sect was overturned. Blood flowed like rivers within the Question Dao Sect, and nothing remained. A fire ignited, not ordinary flames but those imbued with the Great Dao's power. The fire burned with blood as its base and souls as its fuel, consuming the entire Question Dao Sect and erasing its legacy.
After hundreds of years, only historical records would remain of the Question Dao Sect.
Lin Moyu completed his task and slowly disappeared, as if he had never appeared. His actions and words left an indelible mark.
The warring forces became more cautious, ensuring that ordinary lives were evacuated before engaging in battles. If evacuation was impossible, they would take their battles to the skies, changing the battlefield.
Many ordinary people set up altars in their homes to honor Lin Moyu, viewing him as a benefactor. The entire Origin Continent underwent a rapid transformation.
In the external Great Dao realms, various Great Dao cultivators looked at each other in surprise. Only after reflecting did they understand what Lin Moyu had done.
"Good grief, Lin Moyu's thoughts are deeper than we imagined."
"Yes, I only realized now that he wasn't acting impulsively but was taking advantage of the situation."
"The Question Dao Sect lost its people and fortune, and Lin Moyu used the Great Dao's momentum to eliminate them. By announcing this to the world, all ordinary people will remember Lin Moyu and thank him."
"The power of faith! Although they are just ordinary people, their numbers are overwhelming. Lin Moyu will gain immense faith power from this."
"Could it be that his rapid cultivation is also related to the power of faith?"
These Great Dao cultivators speculated about Lin Moyu's intentions, with various theories emerging. In their eyes, Lin Moyu became a cunning and unpredictable figure. His terror wasn't just in his ruthlessness but also in his strategic thinking.
This made them even more convinced that they should avoid conflicts with Lin Moyu before his Mandate of Heaven ended, as there would be no benefits.
After handling the Question Dao Sect, Lin Moyu returned to the Central Continent and left a message for Antares before returning to the Void Realm.
"The power of faith?"
"Don't underestimate me."
Lin Moyu couldn't help but smile when he heard the Great Dao cultivators' words. He had indeed acted in accordance with circumstances, but it wasn't for the power of faith.
He was driven by karma and the Mandate of Heaven. The Mandate of Heaven tasked him with guarding the Central Continent and the Origin Continent. Ordinary lives were the foundation of the Origin Continent, and since the Question Dao Sect had harmed this foundation, they naturally faced punishment.
He also took the opportunity to sever karma with the Question Dao Sect, testing whether it would ease his bottleneck. Unfortunately, the change in karma didn't alleviate his bottleneck.
Lin Moyu realized that his obstruction was indeed a karma issue. The remaining problem was his Great Thousand Worlds. Being the master of the world was a double-edged sword; while it allowed him to lead the world's development and utilize its power, the world could also become a hindrance to his progress.
If the world wasn't strong enough, his own advancement would be limited. This was his current situation: the Great Thousand Worlds had led him into a bottleneck, making it difficult to progress.
Understanding the problem, Lin Moyu couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions: "In the past, it was because my realm wasn't high enough that my techniques couldn't be refined."
"This time, it's reversed; because the Great Thousand Worlds aren't strong enough, I can't advance my realm."
Knowing the problem, he needed to find a solution. The only way was to strengthen the Great Thousand Worlds, but this wasn't something that could be done easily.
There were three methods to make the Great Thousand Worlds stronger. First, with time, the Great Thousand Worlds would naturally evolve and grow stronger. If he could guide this process, he could accelerate the evolution, but even then, the speed would be measured in millions or tens of millions of years.
The second method was to refine other worlds, using their world crystals to strengthen the Great Thousand Worlds. However, refining other worlds wasn't easy; he would need to find a world and its core, and then use the World-Burning Fire for refinement.
If the world was too powerful, not only would he fail to refine it, but he would also face danger. Even if the world was weak, it would contain billions of lives. Without any grudges, Lin Moyu couldn't bring himself to kill them. It wasn't that he was soft-hearted; it was just that doing so would incur endless karma, potentially leading to future misfortunes.
Ideally, he would find a world without life or one that had already died but hadn't fully collapsed. Such worlds were extremely rare.
This left only the third method...
