Chapter 4441: The Birthmother of Heaven and Earth
When Lin Moyu realized his current state, he truly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The West Pole Pure Land now treated him as its own offspring through a twist of fate, he'd gained a new "mother."
He felt a growing affection toward the Pure Land, swelling from the depths of his soul.
After producing the Chaos Divine Water Beast, the Pure Land had tried many times to birth more beings. This drive was seemingly part of its mission, but each time, the beast devoured the new life at the verge of emergence.
For the Pure Land, this was as if its child was murdered again and again and the killer was also its child.
Fortunately, the Pure Land lacked a true intellect otherwise, it would have been wracked with grief and despair.
Still, a trace of instinct warned the land to stop birthing new life.
Then, after the great war, when the Divine Water Beast was severely wounded, the Pure Land's full power was roused it even sacrificed its essence to save the beast's life, dragging itself to the brink of ruin.
For ages, the Pure Land was so damaged it could not birth any more beings.
Only when the beast met its end and 'Dao' destroyed it did all the essence and lingering power finally return to the Pure Land.
Despite severe wounds, the Pure Land's state was now better than before, and so it began to nurture new life once more.
However, before the young spirit could truly form, Lin Moyu absorbed it resulting in the land accepting Lin Moyu as its own child.
Yet there was another cause for Lin Moyu's complex emotions: as his bond with the land deepened, he learned that the so called Chaos Divine Water was in fact the "amniotic fluid" used by the Pure Land to nurture new life.
Its dissolving properties protected against impurities, ensuring every child was strong and pure.
The Pure Land, he discovered, was also known as "Heaven and Earth Birthmother."
This knowledge was unique to Lin Moyu even the greatest of Supremes were unaware.
Perhaps the Divine Water Beast knew, but it never used this aspect properly. The true function of the Birthmother was not simply producing food for the beast, but harmonizing and transforming life, adapting it to new realms a kind of secondary birth.
This "secondary birth" required refining the Birthmother, but even the beast never managed the right method devouring the offspring only built a shallow connection, not true mastery.
Lin Moyu pondered a solution.
With a wave of his hand, he said, "Let's begin."
With most of the chaos divine water in the lake consumed, Lin Moyu decided to put his method to the test if it succeeded, he'd have an endless supply in future.
Chaos Child whined, "Let me have a bit more!"
Little Tree bundled him up: "Stop hollering, listen to the master."
With wings of chaos unfurled, Lin Moyu shot toward the true center of the Pure Land.
Even now, he kept the name "West Pole Pure Land" knowledge of the Birthmother was his secret.
He wasn't yet the region's owner; once he conquered it, he could call it whatever he wished.
Catastrophe Supreme had placed his grand array at the exact center though that spot was not the "essence," as the beast had hoarded it.
As the Pure Land healed, approaching the center meant ever increasing pressure only Supremes or quasi Supremes could stand it.
Now, Lin Moyu was treated as a native child he moved as if at home, unobstructed.
After just a few days, Lin Moyu reached his goal.
The true central region. The grand array itself.
Here it looked just like anywhere else, with a lake full of chaos divine water.
Previously there'd been more, but 'Dao's' strike had destroyed most what remained was newly regenerated and less abundant.
The array sat in the lake; Lin Moyu dove right in, free of fear.
Engulfed by chaos divine water, he felt as if returning to his "mother's womb" its chill now felt warm.
At the bottom, Lin Moyu found a hair thin crack, only a few centimeters long; inconspicuous and easily missed.
Just like the arrays he had seen in the primeval wasteland, Catastrophe Supreme had sealed this one with his private chaos sigil.
Only solving the sigil opened the array; brute force from a Supreme would cause a deadly self destruction, powerful enough to threaten even them.
Thus, Supreme Xingquan had said even peers could not break in.
For Lin Moyu, though, the sigil was easily unsealed; he had done it several times.
It used to be tricky inside chaos divine water; now, it was easy.
He painted the sigil in the water; chaos water dragons circled him, pure power flowing into his work.
Now Lin Moyu, too, could wield chaos divine water as the beast once did.
A complex sigil was quickly inscribed; it shot into the crack, which boomed open to reveal the grand array.
A thin membrane enveloped the array, isolating it from the chaos divine water.
The membrane itself was covered in miniature vortices, constantly drawing in more chaos divine water.
The dissolving trait of the water was perfectly neutralized Catastrophe Supreme's skill was truly unfathomable.
After careful observation, Lin Moyu crafted another sigil; with practiced ease, he entered the array.
Within, wisps of mist essence of chaos divine water were filtered, absorbed, and gathered, partly powering the array, partly stored for future use.
After countless ages, the array had amassed an incalculable reserve; even Lin Moyu could only say it was "astonishing."
He walked deeper, then crafted yet another sigil to unlock the true core...
