Chapter 3727: Behind the Discernment Beast

After Lin Moyu called out, there was no response from the hut. The Dragon Lake King said: "I didn't deceive you; the Discernment Beast is truly asleep."

Lin Moyu spoke again: "Lin Moyu has come to visit. Please see me, Senior Discernment Beast!"

In the eyes of the undead, the Discernment Beast's soul flame was pulsating in a peculiar rhythm. When Lin Moyu spoke, the rhythm changed slightly. Lin Moyu knew the Discernment Beast had heard him.

As the Dragon Lake King said, the Discernment Beast was indeed asleep. It needed time to wake up. The Dragon Lake King suggested: "You should leave and come back another time."

Lin Moyu replied: "No need, the Discernment Beast is already starting to wake up. Just wait a bit longer."

The Dragon Lake King clearly didn't believe Lin Moyu: "How do you know?"

Lin Moyu smiled: "I can feel it."

The Dragon Lake King let out a deep breath. Although it wasn't very intelligent, it could tell Lin Moyu was teasing.

"What if your feeling is wrong?" the Dragon Lake King asked.

Lin Moyu shook his head: "My feelings won't be wrong."

The Discernment Beast's soul flame pulsed faster, and Lin Moyu sensed numerous invisible consciousnesses gathering from all directions into the Discernment Beast's soul.

"Ah, I see!" Lin Moyu suddenly understood. The Discernment Beast, while asleep, was listening to the multiverse. Its consciousness would enter various worlds to listen to the changes occurring within them. This was how it became all-knowing; nothing in the universe was a secret to it.

When it awakened, all consciousness would return. The Discernment Beast slept little and woke often because, while listening to the worlds, it was also experiencing countless lives. Over time, its wisdom grew, and its understanding of life deepened. It became all-knowing.

Because of this, the Discernment Beast never sought transcendence; it pursued something else. It had overcome its innate instincts as a virtual beast, which was a form of transcendence in itself.

The Discernment Beast's realm was high, a level Lin Moyu couldn't yet understand. This was normal since they walked different paths.

Understanding this, Lin Moyu knew how to proceed with his questions, and his last doubts were resolved.

The Discernment Beast's soul flame pulsed faster, and it finally awakened. The door to the hut opened, and the Discernment Beast emerged.

The Dragon Lake King watched in amazement. This had never happened before.

The Discernment Beast looked at Lin Moyu: "Lin Dao friend, you're well."

It showed no anger, even though its sleep had been disturbed.

Lin Moyu bowed: "Senior is well. I have some matters to discuss with you, and I didn't mean to disturb your sleep."

The Discernment Beast chuckled: "No need to worry, I've slept for countless years; missing one more sleep doesn't matter. Since you have questions, come and ask."

It glanced at the Dragon Lake King: "Little dragon, you may withdraw."

The Dragon Lake King immediately bowed and retreated.

Lin Moyu flew over, and the small python, being intelligent, retreated far into the chaotic mist until it disappeared. The space became unusually quiet, with only the Discernment Beast and Lin Moyu present.

The Discernment Beast said: "Ask your questions, Lin Dao friend. If I can answer, I'll do so for a suitable price."

Lin Moyu replied: "You should know about the world I'm in. Its world will has developed spiritual intelligence. I want to know more about it."

The Discernment Beast's eyes narrowed slightly: "Your question is quite demanding. It seems like one question, but it contains countless pieces of information. Even breaking it down into ten questions wouldn't be excessive."

Lin Moyu smiled: "Consider it ten or twenty questions, and I won't be stingy if I have the means."

The Discernment Beast's eyes moved: "Alright, then give me ten spiritual flowers, ten fruits, a hundred leaves, and a hundred kilograms of tree sap."

Hearing the Discernment Beast's price, Lin Moyu was taken aback. Honestly, the price wasn't high for him; it was almost negligible. However, he found it strange that the Discernment Beast knew about the spiritual flowers and tree sap. Lin Moyu had shown the spiritual flowers before and had used them for others, so it was natural that the Discernment Beast would know. But how did it know about the world fruits and leaves, which Lin Moyu had never used or mentioned?

Lin Moyu suddenly realized that the Discernment Beast didn't know about the world fruits and leaves itself. Someone must have told it, and it was asking for these things on behalf of that person.

"Who wants these things but doesn't dare ask directly and instead uses the Discernment Beast as a mouthpiece?" Lin Moyu thought.

"It's not the green-robed old man; it must be him," Lin Moyu concluded, recalling his previous conversation with the Discernment Beast.

Lin Moyu had a moment of clarity, feeling as though everything was connected. The place he had seen while crossing the Other Shore Realm was the same as the place he entered in the Origin Ancestral Land. Each time, he only saw a part of it, not the whole.

The master of that place was the white-robed old man who had given him the Ancestral Water Essence. Last time, when mentioning the Ancestral Water, the Discernment Beast's reaction seemed strange.

Now, Lin Moyu realized that the Discernment Beast's request for spiritual flowers was actually at the white-robed old man's behest. The same applied to the current request.

If it were the green-robed old man, he would have asked directly.

As for why the white-robed old man wanted these things, Lin Moyu had no idea.

The Discernment Beast noticed Lin Moyu's silence and asked: "Can you fulfill these requests, Lin Dao friend?"

Lin Moyu decided to probe further: "What does the white-robed senior want these things for?"

The Discernment Beast looked at Lin Moyu with a puzzled expression: "What white-robed senior?"

It seemed to feign ignorance, but this only made Lin Moyu more certain. When the Discernment Beast mentioned the white-robed senior, its tone carried a hint of respect.

Although this change was very subtle, Lin Moyu caught it.

Lin Moyu had his answer but didn't reveal it: "I misspoke. The items you requested are no problem."

He handed over the requested items, which were insignificant to him.

The Discernment Beast smiled and accepted them, then calmly said: "You're right; the world will in your world has indeed developed spiritual intelligence, and it's a malicious will."

"Malicious will?" Lin Moyu had never heard this term before. "Does that mean world wills can be categorized?"

The Discernment Beast chuckled: "Of course. I'll explain slowly."
