Chapter 3754: The Story of the Hell Master 

The Other Shore Realm Master chuckled softly. It was the first time he had laughed during their conversation. "So, you've set your sights on my Gate of Hell." 

Lin Moyu replied: "Senior, you once opened the Gate of Hell and obtained several treasures from it. One of those treasures allowed you to create a clone, feign death, and escape the world will's grasp." 

"I hope to borrow that treasure to help others feign death and escape as well." 

The Other Shore Realm Master shook his head. "That treasure is indeed extraordinary it was what allowed me to escape. But it was a one-time-use item and cannot be borrowed." 

Lin Moyu was surprised: "A one-time-use treasure?" 

The Other Shore Realm Master confirmed: "Yes, it was one-time-use. However, there are still many treasures within the Gate of Hell. The problem is that opening the gate is no easy task." 

Lin Moyu asked: "How can the Gate of Hell be opened?" 

The Other Shore Realm Master explained: "When I obtained the gate, I disguised it as the Gate of Hell and used the power of the Hell Great Dao to accumulate energy. It took millions of years to barely open it once."

"And even then, I only managed to create a small crack. Now you understand how difficult it is." 

Difficult was an understatement. Even with the power of an Origin Great Dao, it had taken millions of years to open a mere crack. 

It was no wonder the Gate of Hell had only been opened once since its discovery it was simply too challenging. 

Lin Moyu asked: "After all these years, has enough power been accumulated in the gate?" 

The Other Shore Realm Master shook his head: "I've spent all this time recovering from my injuries there's been no opportunity to accumulate energy for the gate. Moreover, my Great Dao was damaged during my deception to escape him. It took immense effort just to recover. Opening the gate again is an impossibility for now." 

Lin Moyu frowned slightly this was more troublesome than he had anticipated.

The path against heaven was fraught with obstacles; just when hope seemed within reach, it slipped away again.

Not only was the treasure for freeing true spirits a one-time-use item, but even opening the gate again seemed out of reach.

Even if they started accumulating energy now, it would take millions of years a timeline Lin Moyu could not afford.

He asked: "Is there no other way?" 

The Other Shore Realm Master replied: "There is another way. Back then, I captured the Yin Ancestral Dragon and refined it into a Netherworld Black Dragon, stealing its Lunar Origin Power."

"I discovered that Lunar Origin Power could significantly accelerate the opening of the gate tens of thousands of times faster than using my Hell Great Dao power." 

"Naturally, I thought of the Yang Ancestral Dragon as well. The sun and moon are two halves of a whole if Lunar Origin Power works, then Solar Origin Power will too. Combining both might even be faster."

"My ultimate goal was to merge Solar and Lunar powers into a Yin-Yang Great Dao and use it to become a world master."

"But in pursuing this path, I unexpectedly discovered the existence of the world will." 

The former Hell Master the current Other Shore Realm Master began recounting his past experiences.

Lin Moyu asked: "What happened when you discovered the world will? How did it react?" 

The Other Shore Realm Master smiled bitterly: "Naturally, it noticed me as well. Otherwise, the Yang Ancestral Dragon wouldn't have fled far away, nor would my plans have failed. It gave me a warning telling me not to continue."

"At that time, it was preparing to ascend into eternity and needed us alive so it refrained from killing me outright."

"But how could I trust its promise not to sacrifice me? Would you believe such words?" 

Lin Moyu shook his head such promises were impossible to trust. As a cultivator walking against heaven's will, how could one willingly submit?

The Other Shore Realm Master continued: "Desperate for survival, I exhausted every method until I found Discernment Beast and through its guidance, I found a way out via this gate."

"I emerged from this gate at great cost bringing back three treasures: one being the Immortality Jewel; another being the Heaven-Concealing Stone. Using these two together allowed me to create clones and feign death."

"With these treasures, I sacrificed my cultivation level to erase my true spirit imprint from the Origin Continent finally regaining freedom."

"However," he added with a bitter smile, "I've never dared seek revenge against him. The grudge remains but avenging it seems impossible."

His tone revealed deep resentment but also resignation the opportunity for revenge was almost nonexistent.

Lin Moyu asked: "What about the third treasure?" 

The Other Shore Realm Master answered: "The third treasure was a material known as Primordial Origin Treasure Material. I exchanged it with Discernment Beast for another chance at life."

"At that time I had lost much of my cultivation and could barely protect myself. Recovery seemed like an impossible dream. Discernment Beast brought me to this world and used secret methods to help me seize its world will becoming its master."

"Discernment Beast also promised that no one would disturb me for ten million years."

Lin Moyu hadn't expected Discernment Beast to have done so much.

He had assumed Discernment Beast merely answered questions but clearly its capabilities extended far beyond that.

However a new question arose in Lin Moyu's mind: "Isn't Discernment Beast a virtual beast? How did it take you away?"

The Other Shore Realm Master chuckled: "You underestimate Discernment Beast it's far more capable than you think. Its abilities extend beyond just operating in the Soul Void it can turn virtual into real and connect both realms seamlessly."

"It can even align locations between both realms perfectly in just half a day it brought me from the Origin Continent to the World Tree Great Spirit Domain."

"I still remember that world was primitive at best its beings numerous but not yet capable of cultivation."

"Discernment Beast said this world suited me perfectly."

The former Hell Master had exchanged near-death experiences for survival a testament to his resilience.

His words were filled with admiration for Discernment Beast a being whose abilities left an indelible impression on him.

Lin Moyu realized he had completely underestimated Discernment Beast's power its ability to bridge virtual and real worlds alone was astonishing a feat even Human Sovereign might not achieve.

After being saved the Hell Master spent millions of years in slumber before awakening fully integrated with his world.

Upon awakening he found himself equipped with secret techniques allowing him control over his world will not as its replacement but as its coexistent partner.

He began nurturing both himself and his world will knowing that if cultivated properly the latter would become his greatest ally.

As time passed the world evolved; its Great Daos were completed and millions more years went by until its world will reached spirit formation stage while his cultivation returned to peak levels.

Hearing this tale Lin Moyu couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Survival truly is difficult!" 

The Other Shore Realm Master replied: "Of course it's difficult but at least I survived. Do you still think you have any chance against him?"

Lin Moyu responded resolutely: "Regardless of whether there's a chance I must try." 

The Other Shore Realm Master's gaze sharpened; his oppressive aura intensified further: "Then what do you want from me?"
