Chapter 4462: The Gears of Fate
In Little Tree's era, there were countless innately powerful beings, most of whom gained some primordial qi at birth.
Each creature only received a tiny bit sometimes just a wisp, at most a thin strand.
Although the amount was tiny, just a touch of primordial qi could establish one's foundation and raise one's entire class.
But the human race, weak and born of a domain, received a full fifth of all primordial qi.
Some powerful clans of the age received less than a thousandth, many received none at all.
Humans, though fragile, hoarded one fifth of the world's foundational power. How could others not envy that?
Yet at the time, not a single strong clan tried to trouble the humans. The domain they occupied seemed protected by some unfathomable force, layered with terrifying prohibitions.
To offend the humans was to make an enemy of all chaos itself.
Those powerful ancient beings could all feel that the humans were untouchable they were chaos's chosen favorites.
History proved it true: while almost all the ancient mighty species perished in the great turmoil, humans rose from weakness to dominance.
Though humanity suffered tremendous losses too, they survived their kind now inhabits every corner of the four poles and three domains of chaos, often holding positions of power.
In fact, half of the eight Supremes are now from humanity; the race has unquestioningly become the number one.
Lin Moyu reflected on Little Tree and Chaos Child's words, linking it to the changes in his own storage space. He realized that the laws of his storage space had started to operate.
As its master, he could alter the laws at will, but if he did nothing, the laws would proceed on their appointed course.
Looking at the big picture, it was the same with humanity in chaos: their birth, rise, and thriving all seemed laid down by the rules themselves.
So the mighty beasts all felt humans were "untouchable."
He was beginning to understand. He now felt himself standing at a higher level, seeing the world's evolution from a new vantage.
The purification of the four elders was nearly finished Lin Moyu opened his storage space and sent them in to complete the process.
Seconds later, he brought them back.
They emerged with the same intensity and excitement as Yin Da, the influence of the primordial qi making them exuberant from the depths of their blood.
"What was that place!" they exclaimed together, echoing Yin Da's earlier words.
Lin Moyu didn't explain. "Please summon all your people."
They still did not comprehend, but instinctively sensed that the primordial qi was invaluable.
Now, regardless of Lin Moyu's intentions, they all wanted to go with him their former cowardice vanished, ruled by resolve to follow him.
The elders immediately began to gather their people; countless Silverlight Rabbits answered the call, leaping from their warrens toward the gathering place.
Their numbers were astonishing: big and small, they numbered over a hundred million.
Most were weak, many just infants who'd barely begun to cultivate.
Lin Moyu eyed the vast crowd. "Aren't you crazy prolific? Why are there so few of you?"
A hundred million might seem a lot, but by their reproductive potential, far too little.
With their talent, hundreds of billions would be no surprise.
The Azure Silver Grassland was vast enough to house thousands of billions, but there were just a hundred million.
The chief elder sighed. "It should be far more, but Tianlang Ancestor restricts our breeding. Our total is kept between one hundred and two hundred million.
Actually, fertility is our greatest gift, but even that has been strangled."
He was helpless; not only had they been penned, but even their ability to multiply was limited.
Their core strength was forcibly suppressed.
Little Tree sent Lin Moyu a sound transmission: "Tianlang Ancestor does that to stop the curse from being diluted if the numbers get too high."
Lin Moyu understood larger numbers meant the curse would weaken, finally disappearing.
Therefore, Tianlang Ancestor kept the population down to maintain the curse's strength.
He reassured, "That issue will soon be solved. I'll give you a place in my storage space develop as you like."
He'd already decided to carve out territory for the rabbits in his storage domain and let them reproduce unchecked until the land was filled and natural limits were reached.
Living things always find their balance; resource constraints will regulate numbers.
Soon, the whole clan gathered some newborn kits were still sleeping on their mothers' furry backs.
With a wave, Lin Moyu conjured an ocean, adding several drops of refined pure water.
The ordinary water instantly gained magical power, becoming a Sea of Purity that could purify on contact.
Lin Moyu then drew dozens of chaos runes, forming arrays of various power to match the rabbits' different stages.
There were too many to purify one by one, so he assigned them to formations based on cultivation.
These arrays would purify them outside, not inside the storage space otherwise Tianlang Ancestor would sense it. Still, even if he did notice, by the time he arrived, Lin Moyu would be ready, the purification finished and the clan "packed up."
By then, control over the rabbits would already be lost and Lin Moyu would have every advantage in the negotiation.
As for the Six Tailed Green Foxes, Lin Moyu ignored them altogether.
Groups of rabbits entered the correct formations in order and began the purification.
Most didn't know what was happening; they just followed orders to leap into the Sea of Purity.
Throughout the Azure Silver Grassland, surveillance artifacts planted by the foxes began to broadcast the changes, instantly alerting their masters.
Inshort order, a Perfection level fox elder known as Su Dingtian, third ranked in his clan, arrived, leading his men directly to the grassland; his soul voice thundered, "What are you doing?"
The chief rabbit elder blanched, "Lin, that's Elder Su Dingtian third in their hierarchy."
Su Dingtian radiated terrifying pressure; from the chief elder's expression, it was clear he normally suppressed the entire rabbit clan by himself.
But to Lin Moyu, that pressure was meaningless.
"Get lost!"
With a casual fist, Lin Moyu conjured a colossal fist a hundred thousand miles across in the sky above the grassland.
It shattered the chaos space itself, sending endless shards toward Su Dingtian.
