Chapter 3867: Severing the Great Dao
Standing atop the Myriad Worlds, all living beings submit.
Lin Moyu felt the endless power transmitted from the countless beings of the Myriad Worlds. He was very familiar with this power in the great world, it was called the power of faith; on the Origin Continent, the Buddhist clan called it incense, and some called it belief. The names varied, but they were all the same thing.
This power comes from all living things, from the deep dependence, worship, and attachment that countless beings feel toward their creator, their lord. Most of the time, the billions of living beings don't even realize they have such thoughts these notions are buried deep in their souls, indelible and eternal. From the smallest ant to the most defiant cultivator, all harbor such feelings.
Within the Myriad Worlds, all living beings provided Lin Moyu with a continuous stream of power. This power had nothing to do with cultivation, but Lin Moyu could use it whenever he needed.
"This is what it means to be Lord of a World!"
Lin Moyu marveled inwardly. The World Lord he'd seen in the Jumu Great Spirit Domain was fundamentally different from what he was now. At the very least, that kind of wondrous power of faith did not exist for the World Lords of the Jumu Great Spirit Domain. Those World Lords were only so in name, nominally the "life of the world." But he was the true Lord of a World, able to change and control the entire world.
The Myriad Worlds were created by him that was the essential difference.
As the Myriad Worlds continued to evolve, its power ceiling rapidly increased. Lin Moyu sensed its growing strength, but also clearly saw its shortcomings. Compared to a world like the Origin Continent, the Myriad Worlds was still like a newborn child. If compared, it was about equal to the Origin Continent during the Insect Race era.
The will of the Myriad Worlds had already formed, but was still in the gestation stage.
As the Myriad Worlds grew stronger, Lin Moyu's power also ascended. One by one, Great Daos appeared. Lin Moyu, by a flash of insight, realized he was about to choose one to become its Dao Lord. A cultivator can become the Dao Lord of multiple Great Daos, but upon first becoming a Dao Lord, one must choose a single Dao, and others can be added later.
But Lin Moyu's path was different he had planned for this in advance.
With a thought, the Time, Space, Power, Fate, and Thousand Stars Great Daos all five were merged into the Myriad Worlds. At the same time, Dao marks in Lin Moyu's soul lit up. All the Dao marks he'd ever condensed reappeared, merging together with the five Great Daos into the Myriad Worlds.
"Sever the Dao!"
Lin Moyu made up his mind and gave a low shout.
Boom!
His body trembled violently, and searing pain erupted in his soul. He was going to sever all five Great Daos and merge them into the Myriad Worlds. These five Daos came from this heaven and earth, from the Origin Ancestral Land. Once merged into the Myriad Worlds, they would be stripped of their original imprint and become the Daos of the Myriad Worlds.
Lin Moyu would lose these five Daos but only temporarily. Once the Myriad Worlds matured enough, he could reclaim their power. At that point, not just these five, but all Daos in the Myriad Worlds would be his to use.
As for the Immortality Great Dao, Lin Moyu intentionally kept it as his link to this world. For now, he was still a person of this world the Myriad Worlds wasn't strong enough yet, so he needed to retain the Immortality Dao. In the future, it too would be merged into the Myriad Worlds.
Step by step, Lin Moyu was deliberate and thoughtful, knowing exactly where he was heading.
The stabbing pain in his soul continued; severing a Great Dao was like cutting the soul itself a pain few could endure. Lin Moyu's whole body trembled, cold sweat soaking him. At his level, he had perfect control over his body, so sweating meant he couldn't control it at all he could only barely stay conscious and not faint.
His soul was covered in countless cracks, as if it would shatter at any moment.
The World Tree swayed, golden and silver sap swirling, spirit flowers exploding and mixing with the sap to pour over his soul, easing the pain. Little Tree appeared at his soul's side, shouting, "Chaos Child!"
From the tree's roots, Chaos Child shot back, shouting, "Here, here, don't worry, he'll be fine!" Their voices reached Lin Moyu's ears, but he was in no state to respond. Severing the Daos required total focus even he couldn't multitask.
Chaos Child sprayed a torrent of chaotic energy, and together with Little Tree, helped ease Lin Moyu's pain. It worked Lin Moyu felt the pain lessen, and the pace of severing the Daos quickened.
The power of the Daos left his soul and merged into the Myriad Worlds, where these Daos rapidly became perfected. Of the five, the Space Great Dao was the most perfect, since the Space Dao Spirit had once merged its own Heavenly Dao into it. Now, the Space Great Dao changed again, with Lin Moyu's imprint becoming even clearer...
All the Daos in the Myriad Worlds roared. Though each was different, at the end of every Dao appeared the same imprint Lin Moyu's own mark.
Each Dao mark entered the Myriad Worlds and exploded, infusing Lin Moyu's Dao insights and further perfecting the world.
At the edge of the Myriad Worlds, a multitude of light points appeared independent worlds outside the grand, middle, and small worlds. These were derived from the Thousand Stars Great Dao, and each had its own unique system. Their emergence made the Myriad Worlds even richer.
Lin Moyu understood that the evolution of the Myriad Worlds was also a process of perfecting himself. The stronger the world, the more perfect it became. The world was a complex system, far more intricate than it appeared. While he could set many rules as World Lord, he couldn't go too far, or chaos would result.
The process of merging the Daos was also a process of Lin Moyu's deepening mastery and understanding of the Myriad Worlds. He felt he was now standing at a higher vantage point, able to see the world's changes more clearly, and thus gained a deeper understanding of the current heaven and earth.
When all five Great Daos were gone, Lin Moyu's soul aura plummeted, dropping from its peak to the bottom in an instant he nearly fell below the Great Dao Realm. With the Daos gone, his soul's cultivation naturally collapsed.
At this moment, the Myriad Worlds opened a gap, and a unique aura blending all the Daos entered his soul. The Bone Hell also boiled, its aura merging into his soul as well.
His soul's aura began to rise again just as quickly as it had fallen, it recovered, soon returning to its former level.
Lin Moyu was inspired, muttering, "The Great Dao has yin and yang, so does the world. The Myriad Worlds are yang, Bone Hell is yin, and the World Tree is the channel let yin and yang meet!"
"One more region is needed, to hold both yin and yang!"
"Little Tree, lend me a hand!"
Little Tree answered, and a large branch broke off and flew over. This branch was lush, covered in spirit flowers and world fruits, all in astonishing abundance.
With a point of his soul, the World Tree branch exploded, forming a vast platform. All the power of the Daos merged into the mist...
