Chapter 4165: Do Not Be My Enemy

There was a hint of helplessness in Lin Moyu's words he was simply stating the truth. Ever since he met the man in the green robe, ever since his wife was taken away, Lin Moyu had been unable to stop. He could only keep moving forward, breaking through obstacles step by step, climbing ever higher.

Now, he had become Eternal, standing at the pinnacle of the realms, just one step away from Transcendence. The man in the green robe, once unimaginably distant, was now within Lin Moyu's faint sight. That man was a Supreme of Heaven and Earth, an invincible being in the chaos, a level even higher than a Transcendent. When Lin Moyu realized the man in the green robe was a Supreme, he felt a subtle sense of relief. The unknown is always the most terrifying and hopeless; now that he knew the man's realm, he knew the distance between them. As long as he could see him, he could catch up.

Because of one sentence from the Candle Dragon, Lin Moyu's thoughts churned. His aura surged, reflecting his unsettled heart. Having just exerted himself fully and strengthened his Dao, even his Dao heart was stirred, leading him to these thoughts.

The Candle Dragon did not disturb Lin Moyu. He had paid attention to Lin Moyu before and vaguely sensed this would happen.

After a while, Lin Moyu's aura returned to normal, and his tone calmed. "This is the limit of what I can do right now. My strength is still not enough."

The Candle Dragon replied, "It's enough. You've surpassed most Eternals only a few can compare to you."

Lin Moyu continued to wield the power of death, corroding the Dao of Curses, wearing it down bit by bit. Ten years, then ten years more Lin Moyu had decided to utterly destroy it and would not stop until he succeeded. For those ten years, he went nowhere. Bound by the rules of Heaven and Earth, the Candle Dragon could not leave either. The two simply stared at each other, together in that place.

Lin Moyu said, "Once I finish off the Lord of Curses, I'll help you with your matter."

The Candle Dragon nodded. "Alright."

He had previously thought Lin Moyu, having just become Eternal, would need time to adapt, but now he saw that wasn't necessary at all. Lin Moyu's control over his power was astonishing not only did he master his own strength perfectly, but he could also cross extremes and accomplish things others could not in countless years.

The Origin Land gradually quieted, the only sound being the spirits of hell gnawing at the Dao of Curses. Occasionally, Lin Moyu would chat with the Candle Dragon. The Candle Dragon had lived for countless years and knew almost everything that had happened in Heaven and Earth. Lin Moyu learned many interesting things from him.

To the Candle Dragon, Heaven and Earth were like a giant stage, with cultivators as actors fighting to the death over things he found laughable. Ten years passed quickly. For many cultivators, ten years was just a short seclusion, or even the length of a grand banquet. Some banquets could last decades or centuries. To many, ten years was a blink, easily wasted. But to Lin Moyu, ten years was not short he could accomplish a lot.

The Origin Land was sealed for ten years. The Eternals went from being puzzled to getting used to it, almost forgetting the Origin Land existed. Finally, after ten years, the Origin Land reopened. The Eternals entered at once, without a word.

The Origin Land seemed unchanged. The Daos flowed quietly, separated by the rules of Heaven and Earth. They saw Lin Moyu standing quietly on the Undying Dao. The Dao of Time was also there, undisturbed, as if the fall of the Lord of Time had been a dream. Everything seemed calm, with no problems.

But if there was nothing wrong, why had the Candle Dragon sealed the Origin Land?

"Ah!" The Lord of Power's startled cry shattered the calm. He stared ahead in disbelief, his aura surging like thunder through the Origin Land. Everyone followed his gaze and their faces changed dramatically, their eyes wide with unprecedented shock. Each Eternal lost their composure the scene before them shattered their understanding.

Where the Dao of Curses should have been was empty. There were no rules of Heaven and Earth, as if a giant hole had opened in the Origin Land.

The Lord of Power's voice trembled, "The Dao of Curses… how is it gone?"

The Human Emperor said gravely, "The Dao of Curses has vanished. The Lord of Curses has fallen. But why did we feel nothing? Heaven and Earth didn't react at all. Ten years ago, when the Lord of Time fell, Heaven and Earth mourned, and the whole realm was plunged into grief they all sensed it." That event had shown them that even Eternals could die.

But this time, the Dao of Curses had collapsed, and the Lord of Curses should have fallen, yet Heaven and Earth showed no reaction.

Old Yin head looked at Lin Moyu. "Daoist Lin, what exactly happened?"

Everyone looked at him in unison, knowing he must be involved.

Lin Moyu glanced over; all the Eternals were present except An Yuyan no one knew where she was. He spoke calmly, "Are you asking about the Lord of Time, or the Dao of Curses?"

Old Yin head hesitated, then smiled. "Both, both."

His words clearly represented the others' thoughts they all wanted to know what had happened in those ten years.

Lin Moyu said, "It's actually very simple. The Spirit of Time and the Lord of Time had a deep grudge. I also had some past issues with the Lord of Time, so I helped the Spirit of Time get rid of him and let the Spirit of Time take his place as the new Lord of Time."

No need for details this was enough. Now that the Dao of Time had a new master, any objections were moot. Besides, according to the Spirit of Time, the old Lord of Time had no real friendships among the Eternals.

At that moment, the Dao of Time surged, and the Spirit of Time appeared from the Dao, bowing to the group. "Time greets all fellow Daoists."

They hurriedly returned the greeting. "Congratulations, Lord of Time."

A new Lord of Time had never appeared before, but it wasn't unacceptable.

Lin Moyu continued, "As for the Dao of Curses, you all know I had a grudge with the Lord of Curses. I personally forced him into dormancy, but he was vengeful. If he ever returned after thousands of years, he'd be a nuisance, so I destroyed the Dao of Curses and sent him to his end."

Old Yin head said, "But we didn't sense an Eternal's fall."

Lin Moyu replied, "The Dao of Curses isn't completely destroyed yet one last step remains. Since you're all here, I invite you to witness it."

The Candle Dragon had not wanted to let them in, but Lin Moyu's words changed his mind. Lin Moyu wanted to show everyone through his actions: do not be my enemy. Even Eternals, he could kill.

He took out the Cause Seeking Ring and activated it.

"Seek the cause, ask the result!"
