Chapter 3708: Tip of the Iceberg
The Blood Mouse Realm's Dao Lords activated the Fire Great Dao, turning the Soul Void into a sea of fire, causing heavy casualties among the undead legion.
However, it didn't matter; Lin Moyu only needed to hold on until the Third Ancestor and others arrived.
Under the legion commanders' control, the undead legion took turns dying and reviving, so their losses weren't actually severe.
Lin Moyu activated the World-Burning Fire, merging it into the sea of flames and directing it toward the Blood Mouse army.
The World-Burning Fire burned the Blood Mouse army, causing them to scream incessantly. Even the Dao Lords could hardly bear the excruciating pain, greatly reducing their combat effectiveness.
Screams and shrieks were endless. Under the influence of the world will, the two sides couldn't communicate, but from the changes in tone, it was clear they were cursing.
Lin Moyu didn't mind; he rather enjoyed these screams.
In his imagination, when the Blood Mouse Realm's legions had rampaged through the Northern Continent of the Origin Continent, how miserable had the races there been?
Countless beings had screamed in agony then. Had the Blood Mouse army cared?
Now it was their turn, and naturally, they deserved no sympathy.
Regardless of whether he wanted to overthrow the Origin Continent's world will, Lin Moyu had to acknowledge that he was a person of the Origin Continent.
The suffering the Origin Continent had endured in the past, he had the right to avenge. It was a debt owed to all living beings of the Origin Continent.
As the battle continued, the Third Ancestor and others finally arrived. The Third Ancestor laughed: "It seems the little fox can't handle this alone."
Lin Moyu replied: "Stop joking and come quickly. Let's finish this swiftly; delay could bring changes."
The Third Ancestor's expression changed: "Have you discovered something?"
Lin Moyu said: "Nothing, just that the Blood Mouse Realm is too weak."
The Third Ancestor didn't understand: "What's strange about being too weak? They've never been strong."
Lin Moyu said: "It's precisely because they're too weak that it's strange. How did such a weak Blood Mouse Realm enter the Northern Continent back then? And how did they rampage freely there?"
"And it's said that we counterattacked, clearly breaking into the Blood Mouse Realm, so why did we suddenly withdraw, leaving them to barely survive?"
"It's said that Dao Lords died here back then, but look at the Blood Mouse Realm after countless years—do they deserve that?"
After so many years, the Blood Mouse Realm still hadn't recovered its vitality. One could imagine how severely they were injured back then. Just a little more effort could have completely destroyed them, so why give up?
All of this seemed abnormal to Lin Moyu.
Hearing Lin Moyu's words, the Third Ancestor fell silent.
The Beast Emperor said: "Lin Brother, it's not that I don't believe you, but isn't this speculation thinking too much?"
Ouyang Wentian also said quietly: "Back then, I followed the Dao Lord to fight against the Blood Mouse Realm. I did have questions at the time—the Blood Mouse Realm wasn't strong, so how could they enter the Northern Continent?"
"At that time, the protective fortresses hadn't all been destroyed. Just a few Dao Lords, with the help of protective puppets, could have completely blocked the Blood Mouse Realm."
"Later, during the counterattack, my army guarded the rear, so I didn't enter the Blood Mouse Realm. But according to those who returned, after entering the Blood Mouse Realm, several Dao Lords died in battle, forcing them to withdraw."
The Beast Emperor whispered: "But this doesn't prove anything."
The Third Ancestor said: "As Ouyang Wentian said, this matter is indeed strange. We should be careful."
He had detected some clues.
Lin Moyu said: "Actually, it's nothing. If my guess is correct, perhaps this time we can uncover a corner of the truth and fully confirm what we need to do."
"I understand that you all still have doubts, but perhaps after this, your beliefs will be truly strengthened."
"In the confrontation with it, belief is most important. Without belief, we have no chance of success."
Mo Hei slapped his body: "Alright, I've never doubted Lin Brother. Let's fight first; the Blood Mouse Realm should be destroyed."
The Beast Emperor also said quietly: "They should be destroyed. Kill!"
The four joined the battle, directly surrounding and attacking the Golden Mouse King.
The legion commanders controlled the undead legion, dividing the battlefield.
The Golden Mouse King manipulated flames, turning the Soul Void into a sea of fire, but still couldn't stop the Third Ancestor and the other three.
The Third Ancestor held a treasure that resembled a balance, but wasn't quite one—more like two scales joined together.
He grabbed a ball of fire and placed it on one scale, then flicked a tiny flame onto the other scale, saying: "Balance!"
The scales quickly balanced, becoming level.
The tiny flame grew larger, while the grabbed flame rapidly shrank, each changing in opposite ways.
At the same time, the sea of fire was affected and quickly weakened.
Lin Moyu thought to himself: "The Third Ancestor's Balance Great Dao is somewhat similar to the Balance Gem, but its area of effect isn't as powerful."
"Unfortunately, I can't use all the power of the Balance Gem yet; otherwise, killing Dao Lords wouldn't be so troublesome."
He had tried; the Balance Gem's effect on Dao Lords wasn't strong enough, but strangely, it could affect the kings of small soul domains.
Small soul domain kings and Dao Lords should be existences of the same level. Lin Moyu felt it must be related to their form of existence.
The Balance Gem had a range of influence. Since Dao Lords' true bodies weren't in the Soul Void, the Balance Gem's effect on them was greatly reduced.
The Third Ancestor weakened the sea of fire, and the Beast Emperor and others surrounded the Golden Mouse King, beginning a fierce bombardment.
The Wind Great Dao and Water Great Dao roared together, pouring down Great Dao power.
The Soul Void shook continuously, cracks forcibly appearing.
Though it didn't shatter, it showed that the battle had reached the limit of what the Soul Void could bear.
With the undead legion outside, the Beast Emperor and others inside, plus the World-Burning Fire burning bones and souls, the Golden Mouse King had no escape.
Lin Moyu surveyed the entire battlefield: "This battle will end soon. I hope my guess isn't wrong."
"Though I don't know what you truly want, world will of the Origin Continent, I will gradually uncover it and see clearly."
As Lin Moyu had predicted, after just over ten minutes, accompanied by a scream, a wave of sorrow surged from the Blood Mouse Realm.
The Golden Mouse King had fallen, and naturally, the Blood Mouse Realm would grieve.
At the same time, Lin Moyu felt the Blood Mouse Realm's world will weaken.
A world's strength was partly determined by its strong figures.
Fewer strong figures naturally weakened the world will.
But what Lin Moyu wanted to sense wasn't this, but the changes from the Origin Continent.
Previously, when dealing with the Lizard God Realm, when its Dao Lords fell, the Origin Continent's world will bestowed some rewards.
This was because they were people of the Origin Continent, and because the Lizard God Realm had a grudge against the Origin Continent, creating a karmic connection.
If this was true for the Lizard God Realm, it should be even more so for the Blood Mouse Realm.
The damage the Blood Mouse Realm had caused to the Origin Continent in the past exceeded that of the Lizard God Realm.
But strangely, Lin Moyu didn't sense any reward from the Origin Continent's world will—not even a bit.
If he didn't receive any, neither would the Third Ancestor and others.
Lin Moyu watched the battlefield, and after a moment, the corner of his mouth slightly curved upward: "Indeed, the Blood Mouse Realm has problems."
"I hope next, we can uncover the tip of the iceberg of this mystery."
