Chapter 3865: If You Have Something to Say, Just Say It
Previously, the World Sealing Dao Lord's hesitant demeanor had already revealed a lot. He must have sensed the existence of the world will, but inside the world itself, he couldn't speak of it openly.
The World Sealing Dao Lord said, "Lin Friend, you really do know of its existence. Let me start, then.
"Back then, I followed my destiny and went to set up a formation. The location was in the Soul Void, just outside the mist."
At this, Lin Moyu knew his guess had been right. The mist was where the world's origin core was located, the most important region for the world will. Even before fully recovering, the world will had already thought to protect its core, showing how much it valued that place. It could also be inferred that during the Origin Catastrophe, that region had been attacked, making the world will extremely cautious ever since.
As the number one formation master on the Origin Continent, the World Sealing Dao Lord was naturally chosen by destiny to set up a formation.
The World Sealing Dao Lord continued, "At the time, I received a formation diagram. I followed it to set up the formation and found it to be the strongest formation I'd ever seen.
"And, outside the mist, there were already remnants of a formation, meaning someone had tried to set up this formation before but failed.
"As I was setting up the formation, I studied the remnants and discovered some hidden information within them.
"You'd never guess who tried to set up this formation before and failed."
He looked at Lin Moyu and Antares.
Antares shook his head. "How could we possibly guess?"
He was still half in the dark, not fully understanding what the World Sealing Dao Lord meant.
Lin Moyu said, "If I'm not mistaken, it was someone from the Buddhist clan."
The World Sealing Dao Lord froze, blurting out, "How did you know?"
Lin Moyu smiled, "Just a guess. Please continue what did you learn?"
The World Sealing Dao Lord said, "He was the formation Dao Lord of the previous era. Unfortunately, his formation skills weren't enough to complete the formation, and in the end, he died because of it."
Lin Moyu sneered, "Couldn't finish the formation and got killed Dao Lords really are like ants."
The World Sealing Dao Lord nodded in agreement. "He sensed his impending death, so he left some information in the formation remnants. That's how I learned that our world actually has a world will."
Lin Moyu said, "And then you finished setting up the formation."
The World Sealing Dao Lord sounded a little helpless. "Of course. I was following destiny if I didn't finish, I'd be the one to die. But while setting up the formation, I kept studying it and came to a conclusion."
Antares couldn't help asking, "What conclusion?"
The World Sealing Dao Lord said quietly, "This formation has two functions: defense and absorption.
"Even though I set it up in the Soul Void, the formation can, through special means, affect the real world.
"In other words, it's a formation that works in both the virtual and real worlds. It can defend against attacks from both realms at the same time.
"The absorption function is even more terrifying. It's hidden deep within the formation, but I still found it.
"The formation can absorb the power of all living beings on the Origin Continent to fuel its defense. When running at full power, it could even drain everyone on the Origin Continent, including Dao Lords."
Antares's soul shuddered. "That terrifying?"
Lin Moyu said, "The world will controls our true spirit marks. Using those, and this formation, it can control the life and death of every living being in the world.
"All living beings including snakes, insects, rats, ants. To the world will, we cultivators are no different from bugs just a bit stronger, with a bit more power, so we can be drained a bit longer.
"And even if it doesn't drain us now, when it tries to become eternal, it will sacrifice us all anyway."
The World Sealing Dao Lord said quietly, "I don't want to die, but I can't think of a way out. So I came to you, Lin Friend and you didn't disappoint."
Lin Moyu sighed, "It's complicated, but I'm working on it."
Lin Moyu shared some information about the world will with the World Sealing Dao Lord. When the Dao Lord heard that the world will had already tried to break through to eternity, but was forced back into slumber by Lin Moyu's arrangements, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At the time, he really had felt like his end was near a feeling that came from deep in his soul and terrified him.
Lin Moyu said, "The world will is cunning. It made two preparations not only trying to break through to eternity, but also preparing for failure.
"It was afraid someone would attack while it was vulnerable, so it set up this formation to use the world's power to resist outsiders…"
Suddenly, Lin Moyu's expression changed. "Wait, there's a problem."
Antares asked, "What is it?"
Lin Moyu said, "The Morning Bell and Twilight Drum Emperors said it would sleep for ten thousand years, but they didn't know about this formation.
"If the formation absorbed part of the attack, the world will's slumber will be shortened."
The World Sealing Dao Lord asked quietly, "How much shorter?"
Lin Moyu said, "It depends on the formation's strength. I'd have to see it to know, but I can't go now, and I'm guessing you don't know the way either."
The World Sealing Dao Lord replied, "Right I was teleported there, so I don't know the exact location. But I have a way."
He immediately drew a divine rune and set up a formation, which projected an image.
Within the projection, the formation appeared.
Lin Moyu smiled, "You really came prepared, Senior. To project an image from so far away aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
The World Sealing Dao Lord said quietly, "He can't detect it. It's a built in function of the formation, probably left by its creator. He only got the formation diagram, and doesn't know all its abilities."
"Now, the formation has been activated and absorbed vast energy, reaching its limit. To further increase its defense, it would have to absorb the power of living beings from the world."
Lin Moyu said, "At the time, the world will must have realized that even absorbing all the living beings' power wouldn't be enough to withstand the two Emperors.
"And since things hadn't reached the worst point, it didn't activate the absorption."
"This formation did block part of the attack…"
After checking, Lin Moyu estimated that the Morning Bell and Twilight Drum Emperors' attack was reduced by about half.
Ten thousand years of slumber definitely wouldn't be enough at most, five thousand years.
Five thousand years is long, but not that long.
He didn't know how long his next plans would take five thousand years might not be enough.
If necessary, he'd have to ask the Emperors for help again, but the cost would only be higher.
After thinking it over, Lin Moyu shared his plans with the World Sealing Dao Lord, asking him to find a suitable world like the Third Ancestor.
As for Antares, Lin Moyu couldn't decide for the moment.
Antares muttered, "I told you, don't make that face. If you have something to say, just say it."
