Chapter 3702: First the Small Man, Then the Gentleman

Shen Chen absorbed the Heavy Water Great Dao, enhancing his strength. The Lizard God Realm's world will lacked intelligence, acting solely based on instinct.

After absorbing the Great Dao, Shen Chen became a Dao Lord recognized by the Lizard God Realm's world will. This transformation from enemy to ally seemed amusing to Lin Moyu.

However, this was the rule; everyone acted within predetermined rules. Unless the world will gained intelligence, it couldn't deviate from these rules or act independently, which would be its transcendence.

Lin Moyu subtly understood the underlying logic of the universe. Whether it was the world will, cultivators in the real world, or virtual beasts in the Soul Void, their ultimate goal was transcendence. Each existence had its own path to transcendence.

Real-world Dao Lords sought to enter the Origin Ancestral Land, control the Great Dao essence, and project it into the Origin Ancestral Land. This was their transcendence.

Virtual beasts were born with an instinct to leave the Soul Void and enter the real world, which was their transcendence.

If the world will developed intelligence, it would break free from Great Dao rules and establish its own, achieving its transcendence.

Lin Moyu had embarked on a different path, unsure if it would succeed, but he believed that as long as he continued, he could achieve his own transcendence.

The World-Burning Fire continued to burn for 300 years, refining the deceased Heavy Water Dao Lord of the Lizard God Realm into a soul crystal.

Lin Moyu took the refined soul crystal, finding that its soul power was stronger but otherwise similar to others. He refined one on the spot, slightly enhancing his own soul power, but he remained stuck at a bottleneck. To break through, relying solely on soul crystals wasn't enough. His bottleneck was his own Macrocosm; only by enhancing it could he truly advance.

Initially, Lin Moyu had planned to refine the Lizard God Realm, but now he had other plans for it.

After becoming a Dao Lord, Shen Chen rejoined the battle group, making the situation clearer. The Lizard God Realm's Dao Lords fell one by one, and Lin Moyu could sense the world will's lamentation.

Dao Lords were the strongest existences in a world, representing the world will's strength. As they grew stronger, the world will also became more powerful. With each Dao Lord's fall, the world will naturally grieved.

Lin Moyu whispered: "Soon, it will be your turn."

When the Lizard God Realm's Dao Lords died, Lin Moyu felt another emotion—he had gained more fate. His true body remained on the Origin Continent, and his soul was still connected to it.

The Lizard God Realm was once an enemy of the Origin Continent, and its Dao Lords were naturally the most hated by the Origin Continent. The term "hate" fit well on the Origin Continent because its world will had gained intelligence, allowing it to feel hatred.

Now, the Origin Continent sensed Lin Moyu's actions and rewarded him. He felt his fate strengthening on the Origin Continent.

"Indeed, my judgment was correct. Since my true body is still on the Origin Continent, it means I haven't truly escaped its control."

"If someone were to leave the Origin Continent, they would certainly sense it and seal off that path. Therefore, we cannot act rashly."

Although the increase in fate was small, it brought many new discoveries. Lin Moyu knew that fighting the world will would be difficult but necessary. He would eventually clash with the Origin Continent's world will.

Before that, he needed to prepare thoroughly and strategize.

The Lizard God Realm's Dao Lords continued to die, trapped by the Thousand Paths and Myriad Images Formation and surrounded by Skeleton Kings. They repeatedly tried to break out but failed, moving from one anomaly area to another. The primordial virtual treasures, working with the Formation, kept them trapped, awaiting only death.

The World-Burning Fire continued to burn, slowly consuming them. They couldn't escape or withstand it. The Lizard God Realm's first-tier soul strong figures struggled under the undead legion's encirclement.

When their numbers reached a certain point, a qualitative change would occur. Even ants could kill an elephant if there were enough of them. These "ants" weren't weak.

The battle lasted a month, and all eighteen Dao Lords of the Lizard God Realm were killed. Not even one percent of the Great Dao cultivators above the realm survived. The Lizard God Realm, once a formidable world, became a sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Now, the strongest in the Lizard God Realm was Shen Chen, a Dao Lord from the Origin Continent, which was quite ironic.

Lin Moyu retracted the Formation, also obtaining tens of thousands of soul crystals.

The Third Ancestor said: "My true body has received a Great Dao reward."

Lin Moyu chuckled: "It's not just you; everyone should have received one. Do you know what it means?"

The Third Ancestor thought for a moment, his expression turning serious: "He has been watching us."

Lin Moyu nodded: "That's right. He's always been there, so we must be cautious in everything we do."

The world will wouldn't monitor everyone; it only watched those who posed a threat, like Dao Lords and first-tier souls, or people like Lin Moyu. As long as Lin Moyu didn't show intentions to transcend, the world will wouldn't act.

The conversation between the Third Ancestor and Lin Moyu was incomprehensible to Shen Chen, who looked puzzled.

The Beast Emperor asked: "What's next?"

Lin Moyu replied: "I need to find the Lizard God Realm's world core and trap it, waiting for the right moment."

He looked at Shen Chen: "But before that, there's something we need to do. Shen Chen, are you willing to stand with us?"

Shen Chen wasn't foolish; he realized the gravity of the situation. The Third Ancestor and others had subtly surrounded him. The massive undead legion remained, forming a circle around him.

If he refused, he would be the next to die.

Shen Chen smiled wryly: "We are comrades in life and death, and I remember the kindness of Lin Dao Friend. Please speak directly."

Lin Moyu said: "I'm truly sorry, but this matter is too important. I must be a small man before becoming a gentleman."

"I currently can't reveal the specifics to Shen Dao Friend, but I need to ask you to stay in the Lizard God Realm for now."

"When we need you, we'll tell you what to do. Please don't refuse when the time comes."

Shen Chen knew he had to agree, responding decisively: "Alright, I don't know how long I'll need to stay."

Lin Moyu shook his head: "It's hard to say; it might be a few hundred or a few thousand years, but it shouldn't be too long."

Shen Chen chuckled: "I can wait that long."

After all, he had to agree, so he might as well do it quickly.

Lin Moyu said: "Do you have any family left in the Southern Continent? I'll help you find them if there's any news."
