Chapter 3920: This Old Man Isn't Stupid

The Third Ancestor's mind was a tangled mess, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long while.

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "No need to be so surprised, I've always been like this, haven't I?"

Always been like this these words made the Third Ancestor's soul body twist with frustration; they were even more of a blow than before.

After a while, the Third Ancestor finally composed himself. "That's right, I really can't compare with a freak like you."

Lin Moyu laughed, "Freak, monster, prodigy you've called me all sorts of things over the years."

The Third Ancestor was blunt: "Isn't it true?"

Lin Moyu chuckled, "Yes, yes, whatever you want to call me is fine."

Ten million undead servants just a drop in the bucket for Lin Moyu, but for this unknown world before them, it was a cataclysm. After experiencing the battle with the Celestial God Civilization, these small scale skirmishes were nothing to Lin Moyu.

The Celestial God Civilization was powerful enough to rival any top world even the Origin Continent at its peak, with its world will, was no match. Its only flaw was that it couldn't leave the Physics Great Dao; if it strayed too far, its strength would plummet or even vanish. The God of Light probably never imagined the Celestial God Civilization would develop to such heights. Lin Moyu even thought that, given enough time, the Celestial God Civilization could have challenged the God of Light.

Now, ten million undead servants surged into the world not to destroy it, but to hunt down and kill all the Dao Lords. As for those below Dao Lord, Lin Moyu left them untouched; once the Third Ancestor took over, these beings would become the foundation for his recovery.

Lin Moyu's understanding of worlds now far surpassed most people even top World Lords might not match him. This was a one sided slaughter. The Dao Lords in the world were all slain by the undead servants, along with any Great Dao cultivators who came with them none escaped.

Lin Moyu's principle was: since you're here, you're not leaving.

For the Dao Lords and some Great Dao cultivators, this was a day of apocalypse. For most ordinary beings, it had no effect. Only the repeated wails of heaven and earth at each Dao Lord's fall could shake the hearts of the living. Some were terrified, some fearful, some chilled to the bone. But in the end, it would all pass, and nothing would change for ordinary people.

Lin Moyu and the Third Ancestor chatted outside the world, laughing and talking. Lin Moyu recounted some events that happened after the great upheaval in the Origin Continent was finally resolved.

When the Third Ancestor heard that Lin Moyu had called on the Emperor to force the Origin Continent's world will back into slumber, he was deeply shocked.

The Third Ancestor said quietly, "I never imagined that as soon as it revived, it would start a sacrifice. No wonder I felt a sense of danger at the time that's what it was."

Lin Moyu replied, "It had waited too long; now it wouldn't wait even one more day. Fortunately, I made preparations in advance, so even if it didn't want to wait, it had to."

The Third Ancestor said, "Now I get it whoever becomes your enemy is doomed to tragedy. Sooner or later, you'll outmaneuver them."

Lin Moyu laughed, "Don't say that. Doing whatever it takes against enemies is normal, isn't it? Besides, I didn't do anything special just acted in self defense."

"It's like the Dao Lords in this world we have no personal grudges, but for our own benefit, we kill them anyway."

"So there's no real right or wrong just how to get what you need. In the process, many things are abandoned, and many people sacrificed."

The Third Ancestor snorted, "Survival of the fittest."

Those four words summed up the laws of the world. This world is cruel; goodness only exists in small pockets under the shadow of cruelty.

The two entered the world. In less than half a day, all the Dao Lords were dead. Some Great Dao cultivators died as well; the rest had gone into hiding.

It didn't take much effort for Lin Moyu to find the world's source core. He summoned a Five Elements Giant and used an innate void treasure to disperse the mist covering the core.

Examining the core, Lin Moyu smiled, "You picked a good world it's already nurturing a spirit. With a bit more time, it might have taken form."

The Third Ancestor asked, "Will that affect things?"

Lin Moyu replied, "I'll take care of it it's no problem."

He flicked a ball of World Burning Fire into the world's source core. In the real world, the World Burning Fire could refine entire worlds; in the Soul Void, it could burn the world's core directly.

A faint scream echoed from the core, making the Third Ancestor's soul shudder, as if the whole world were wailing. Amid the screams, there was a sound like shattering glass, and Lin Moyu withdrew the World Burning Fire.

"All done. The spirit failed to form; this world won't nurture another for a long time."

World spirits are the collective will of all beings, requiring a long time and some luck to appear. Now that Lin Moyu had burned it away, it wouldn't happen again for at least a million years. That was plenty of time by then, either the Third Ancestor would fail and be sacrificed, or he'd succeed and take over the world.

Lin Moyu began setting up an array to seal the world's source core. "Stay here and guard it. No one should dare bother you. I'll leave a hundred undead servants as backup."

The Third Ancestor asked, "What about the karma?"

Killing Dao Lords, burning the core, but leaving the world alive Lin Moyu had created a huge karmic tie to this world.

Lin Moyu replied, "No problem. For now, I'll bear the karma. Once you transcend and become the world's master, it'll be resolved. Unless you want to settle scores with me then in which case, I'll have to go along with it."

The Third Ancestor snorted, "I'm not stupid. Only a fool would try to settle karma with you there are better ways to die."

With a laugh, Lin Moyu finished setting up the array. The formation suppressed the world's source core, and Lin Moyu had the Third Ancestor inject his aura into the array and the core. That way, the core would be tainted with the Third Ancestor's aura, making transcendence easier.

This was like boiling a frog in warm water a method Lin Moyu had figured out after dealing with so many worlds.

When all was done, Lin Moyu clapped his hands. "Done. Time to head to the next stop."

The Third Ancestor asked, "Who's next?"

Lin Moyu sensed the direction. "Senior Wentian is closest should be there in a day or so."

The Third Ancestor said, "Go on. I'll guard things here and wait for your good news."

"There will be good news." Lin Moyu nodded, mounted Little Python, and left.

Following his senses, Little Python sped through layers of mist, leaving the small spirit domain and passing through a vacuum zone. Now, Little Python was fearless with Lin Moyu around, there was nothing to fear.

Two days later, Lin Moyu's expression suddenly changed. "Little Python, speed up we need to hurry."
