Chapter 4050: The Place Has Been Chosen
He witnessed the formation of the Land of Return and understood how the original eight Great Daos came to be.
From chaos, endless Great Dao Origin Energy evolved until it reached its limit and exploded, beginning to form a giant egg.
This egg was the prototype of the Land of Return, and also the prototype of the entire world.
The egg continuously accumulated Great Dao Origin Energy, evolving internally.
At the same time, the Origin Energy outside the egg became extremely wild, nothing like the gentle Origin Energy seen today.
Now, Great Dao Origin Energy flows like a stream, but at the world's beginning, it surged like a ten thousand meter waterfall.
The wild Origin Energy all seemed to want to rush into the egg, colliding and transforming in the chaos, gradually becoming distinct.
The Origin Energy began to split, evolving into different attributes, each with its own power and characteristics, becoming the prototypes of the Great Daos.
Once they became Great Dao prototypes, they madly tried to enter the egg.
The egg already contained a sea of Origin Energy, and when these variously attributed Great Dao prototypes entered, it was like pouring water into oil, causing the energy within to boil over and exceed its limits.
The egg exploded, forming a region the Land of Return.
Lin Moyu saw all the evolved Great Daos desperately trying to rush into the Land of Return, but it was tiny at first, and in the end, only eight Great Daos managed to settle inside.
"Survival of the fittest so that's how the eight Great Daos came about."
The original eight Great Daos of the Land of Return weren't appointed by anyone; they fought their way in themselves.
Once the eight Great Daos settled, the Land of Return was basically formed. The other Great Dao prototypes that didn't make it remained outside, eventually forming the Origin Ancestral Land (本源祖地).
Thus, the core of this world was created.
The vision Lin Moyu saw ended here, but he could easily guess what happened next:
The Great Daos collided, intertwined, and together perfected both the Land of Return and the Origin Ancestral Land.
During this evolution, they cast off impurities, which became the filth of the world and ultimately formed Dao Wild Beasts.
Under the influence of these Daos, the Origin Energy accumulated in the egg began to evolve the world, eventually creating the current structure.
The Origin Energy inside the Origin Mountains was the leftover accumulation from the world's creation, not all of it used up during the world's formation.
Feeling the ancientness of this Origin Energy, Lin Moyu sensed that the world's evolution was incomplete.
It was as if the puzzle of the world was missing a small piece, and that piece was hidden within this Origin Energy.
That's why there are so many imperfections in the world.
Lin Moyu became even more convinced of his idea: this world needs a master.
A world with no one in control will always have problems.
Suddenly, the voice of the Lord of Darkness rang in Lin Moyu's soul, "Daoist Lin, we've chosen the place."
It sounded like he was transmitting from very far away, deliberately lowering his voice as if doing something shady.
Lin Moyu looked up and saw the Dark Great Dao.
All sorts of Great Daos appeared in the Heaven and Earth Battlefield, but now the Dark Great Dao was especially prominent.
Within it, Lin Moyu sensed a shadow of the Lord of Darkness a trace of his soul left behind.
This time, the Lord of Darkness wasn't using ordinary soul transmission, but transmitting through the Great Dao itself, so his location was unknown.
The Lord of Darkness then told Lin Moyu the location: outside the formation, about a million li away, a place called Burial Dao Valley (葬道谷).
Lin Moyu sneered inwardly, "Burial Dao Valley why pick that place? Is there some special reason?"
With these thoughts, Lin Moyu left the Origin Mountain and returned to the formation's edge. "Senior Battle Sovereign, I'd like to go outside for a look."
The Battle Sovereign's voice came, "Go ahead. Every newly advanced Great Dao Lord should go see it. Even if you didn't ask, I'd have sent you out to take a look."
Lin Moyu was surprised. "Is there a particular reason?"
The Battle Sovereign said, "Outside the formation is also the Heaven and Earth Battlefield, which has seen countless great wars over the ages.
The blood of Great Daos has not dried, the fighting spirit of the ancients still lingers. Even if they've fallen, their will to battle remains.
We juniors can feel the fighting spirit of our predecessors, cleanse our souls, and understand how fierce those ancient battles were."
Lin Moyu recalled that Shengxin had said long ago, the battles between Great Dao Lords and Wild Beasts didn't always take place here.
Back then, the battlefield was much larger, with countless fierce wars.
Many Great Dao Lords fell those who lived millions or tens of millions of years were still considered juniors compared to them.
Lin Moyu understood. He had seen the world's origin, and while it looked like the world evolved quickly, in reality, it spanned countless ages, billions of years.
How many Great Dao Lords had appeared and fallen no one could say.
Lin Moyu asked, "Senior, do you have any recommended places?"
The Battle Sovereign replied, "Solitude Dao Mountain, Burial Dao Valley, and Attainment Dao Cliff are all worth seeing.
Especially Burial Dao Valley the battles there were the fiercest. The entire valley was solidified by the fighting, and the will of the Dao Lords has kept the terrain unchanged for a billion years.
As for Attainment Dao Cliff, that's where the Lord of Slaughter achieved eternity by opening the Eternal Gate."
Lin Moyu was surprised, "The Lord of Slaughter?"
The Battle Sovereign said, "Yes, the Lord of Slaughter gained massive Heaven and Earth Fortune and opened the Eternal Gate."
Hearing this, some vague memories became clear.
In the Land of Return, there was indeed a Great Dao matching the Slaughter Dao, but if he remembered right, its owner had long since fallen silent.
After the original eight, ten more Great Daos were added to the Land of Return, and then the gate closed.
Later, two more peerless geniuses forcibly opened the gate with Heaven and Earth's power, becoming new eternals.
One was the Human Sovereign, who achieved the Dao by spreading teachings and gaining Heaven and Earth's approval.
The other was the Lord of Slaughter, who achieved the Dao by slaying Dao Wild Beasts and accumulating massive Heaven and Earth Fortune.
Both were astonishing figures, though the Lord of Slaughter later faded away for other reasons.
Lin Moyu thought, "Since that's where the Lord of Slaughter achieved eternity, I should definitely visit."
The Battle Sovereign said, "The next filth tide is in half a month you'll have time. Just return before the tide. Also, once outside the formation, be careful of Dao Wild Beasts and the ever present Heaven and Earth Spirit Demons."
Lin Moyu nodded, "I will. Thank you, senior."
The Battle Sovereign opened a passage, and Lin Moyu stepped out.
His dangers weren't limited to Dao Wild Beasts and Spirit Demons there was also the Lord of Curses lurking in the dark, the real threat.
"No wonder they chose Burial Dao Valley turns out every new Great Dao Lord goes there.
Well, let's add two more Dao corpses to Burial Dao Valley."
