Chapter 3834: Becoming a Tool

Between the Lord of Time and the Morning Bell Emperor, one of them was definitely not telling the truth.

Even though Discernment Beast had said the Lord of Time was easier to deal with, Lin Moyu knew not to fully trust Discernment Beast either after all, it wasn't the Lord of Time and could only see the surface.

After all, you can know someone's face, but not their heart.

Outwardly, Lin Moyu looked a bit surprised, but inside he was calm as still water. He didn't trust either of them.

The Morning Bell Emperor said, "Shi You (the Lord of Time) has always been trying to enter the Spacetime Spirit Realm, but he's never found an opportunity. He gave you the Dao Jade Heart hoping you'd carry it into the Spacetime Spirit Realm."

Lin Moyu asked, "Does this Dao Jade Heart have any special use?"

The Morning Bell Emperor replied, "Shi You is the master of the Time Great Dao. The Dao Jade Heart, nurtured by the Time Great Dao, is deeply connected to him. He can use it to lock onto your position at any time and send a clone to descend."

"As soon as you enter the Spacetime Spirit Realm, his clone will descend."

According to the Morning Bell Emperor, Shi You had always wanted to enter the Spacetime Spirit Realm himself, but it was controlled by the Morning Bell Emperor, so he couldn't get in.

So Shi You could only use this method letting Lin Moyu carry the Dao Jade Heart inside, then descending as a clone, which was essentially the same as entering himself.

Lin Moyu asked, "But why does he want to do this?"

The Morning Bell Emperor snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain: "That man is malicious. He harms friends for his own gain and never trusts anyone."

Lin Moyu said, "According to you, Shi You doesn't trust me, so he'll descend personally to get the Void Soul Essence Stone. But he should also know that I carry his aura and will surely be discovered by you. And I'm also very likely to tell you everything."

The Morning Bell Emperor said, "Of course he knows, but so what? Even if I know you're his person, by the rules I still have to let you enter the Spacetime Spirit Realm unless I kill you."

Kill you...

Hearing those words, Lin Moyu felt a chill run down his spine.

He knew the Morning Bell Emperor wasn't joking he really might act.

The Morning Bell Emperor sneered, "If I really killed you, I'd fall into his trap. You're the reincarnation of a Great Dao Lord, bearing great karma. If I kill you, I'll have to bear that karma, which does me more harm than good."

"So he's counting on me not to kill you."

Lin Moyu said, "In that case, you could just keep the Dao Jade Heart and let me go in alone."

The Morning Bell Emperor replied, "Can't be done. When he gave you the Dao Jade Heart, it was already bound to you. The moment you enter the Spacetime Spirit Realm, the Dao Jade Heart will undergo time reversal. Its time will return to the moment you received it."

If the Morning Bell Emperor was right, this wasn't a covert scheme, but an open one.

He knew the Dao Jade Heart couldn't be left behind, but killing Lin Moyu would bring massive karma.

But if he didn't kill him, Lin Moyu would enter the Spacetime Spirit Realm, Shi You's clone would descend, and he'd definitely get the Void Soul Essence Stone.

No wonder Shi You had been all smiles when they met not because he was friendly, but because he'd found the perfect tool.

Still, Lin Moyu wasn't too worried. Neither Shi You nor the Morning Bell Emperor would kill him; neither wanted to bear the karma.

The conflict between the Morning Bell Emperor and Shi You was deep judging by the Morning Bell Emperor's attitude, he'd love nothing more than to see Shi You dead.

Lin Moyu asked, "So what does the Emperor plan to do now?"

The Morning Bell Emperor thought for a moment: "Shi You may have his plans, but he doesn't understand spacetime power, nor does he know what's inside the Spacetime Spirit Realm."

"As long as I make a few arrangements, even if he enters, he'll come away empty-handed."

"He probably knows he's not guaranteed to succeed, so you're his backup. If his clone can't get it, it'll be up to you to obtain the Void Soul Essence Stone."

"Since this is his open scheme, I'll add a little twist of my own whatever Void Soul Essence Stone you get, I'll add something extra to it."

So, Shi You saw Lin Moyu as a tool, and now the Morning Bell Emperor did too. Neither of them were good people.

And the Morning Bell Emperor was even blunt about his plan, clearly unafraid Lin Moyu would tell Shi You.

All around, countless giant faces appeared in the space, the Morning Bell Emperor's cold gaze sweeping over: "Any objections?"

Lin Moyu certainly didn't dare object, but he had his own thoughts: "Shi You promised that if I succeeded, he'd help me deal with the world will."

The Morning Bell Emperor said, "That's between you and him. But I can also promise: if you help me with this, I'll help you once as well."

Lin Moyu was surprised: "The Emperor can strike at the world will?"

The Morning Bell Emperor replied, "Of course. We have our concerns about heavenly punishment, but it's not impossible to act as long as we keep it within limits, it's just a matter of bearing some karma."

Another transaction Lin Moyu realized he was destined to be a tool for both of them.

He had no idea what the Morning Bell Emperor planned to do with the Void Soul Essence Stone, but judging from his attitude, it wouldn't be simple and would surely harm Shi You.

Who knew what kind of grudge existed between these two eternal beings the Morning Bell Emperor clearly wanted Shi You dead.

But Lin Moyu couldn't ask, and even if he did, the Morning Bell Emperor wouldn't answer.

Given the situation, Lin Moyu could only agree.

The Morning Bell Emperor said in a low voice, "Then I'll open the Spacetime Spirit Realm."

As he spoke, the Morning Bell Emperor tossed the Dao Jade Heart back to Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu sensed the Dao Jade Heart again and indeed found a wisp of Shi You's soul hidden within.

If he'd discovered this before, he wouldn't have thought much of it after all, it was meant for contacting Shi You.

But now, it felt very different.

The Morning Bell Emperor released a tremendous pressure, twisting the surrounding space. Above him, a spatial rift appeared.

Threads of spacetime power seeped out from the rift, which slowly widened as the Morning Bell Emperor said, "It'll just take a moment."

Lin Moyu wasn't in a hurry and asked, "What is the Void Soul Essence Stone used for?"

The Morning Bell Emperor chuckled, "It's useless to me, but for Shi You, it might be the supreme treasure he needs for his final step."

"A Void Soul Essence Stone can be fused into an innate origin treasure. If a soul is placed inside before fusion, that soul can refine the innate origin treasure."

"Shi You wants to use the Void Soul Essence Stone to refine the Twilight Drum and become the new master of the Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain."

"He's already the Lord of Time, and with the Twilight Drum's help, he might take the final step."

Lin Moyu thought of Human Sovereign in the World Tree Great Spirit Domain he seemed to have done something similar, though with the Three Lives Secret Method.

Both wanted to take the final step, and both steps were connected to the Soul Void Emperors.

Suddenly, Lin Moyu realized something and blurted out: "So the Drum Emperor was killed by Shi You!"
