Chapter 4775: Haven't Taken Action in a Long Time
From the height Lin Moyu now stood at, a single sweep of his gaze was enough for him to see through everything within the child universe.
The child universe had no universe core of its own.
It was attached to the mother universe and relied on the mother universe to exist.
However, to refine the universe core of the mother universe, the child universe first had to be crippled.
This was the particularity of this mother child universe, a restriction set by the universal laws.
Of course, the universal laws were not unchangeable.
If Lin Moyu wanted to forcibly alter them, it was not impossible, but that would consume great effort and would also trigger the mother universe's resistance, making it not worth the cost.
The mother universe was of a very high level and its laws were extremely powerful, so Lin Moyu did not wish to forcefully change them.
He would proceed according to the rules.
First, he would cripple the child universe and turn it into remains.
Then he would head to the mother universe.
Moreover, the path to the mother universe had already been found.
It lay at the very center of the child universe, where the universe core should originally have been.
Now, that place served as the main channel connecting to the mother universe.
Aside from that, the child universe had quite a few other passages linking it to the mother universe, but those passages were unstable, flickering in and out of existence, and Lin Moyu did not intend to use them.
Being able to see the essence through the laws made things much more convenient for Lin Moyu.
There were no fancy tricks or complicated structures inside this child universe.
Dealing with it would be extremely simple.
Before Lin Moyu even took action, a powerful aura surged out from nearby.
A mass of black shadow appeared before him in an instant, baring sharp fangs.
Lin Moyu had long since noticed it.
With a casual wave of his hand, a vast power exploded outward, sending the black shadow flying.
Then he extended his hand, and a giant palm appeared in the void, hanging the black shadow up in midair.
With a light squeeze, the black aura outside the shadow shattered with a boom, revealing its true form.
It had a strange appearance.
It looked somewhat like a wild beast, yet its face was similar to that of a human.
On its back, it bore a stone tablet.
No one knew what material the stone tablet was made of.
More than half of it was broken, but a portion still remained relatively intact.
Lin Moyu could sense that something was recorded within the stone tablet.
This was a "living being" from the child universe, its strength almost equal to the perfected Chaos Realm.
Any existence that survived the Great Annihilation could not have been weak.
However, they had all undergone mutations and could no longer be considered true living beings.
This creature had no wisdom and only attacked intruders by instinct.
Its soul was incomplete; its soul fire was not whole.
Its physical body, thanks to the universal laws, had not been damaged, but that also caused the fusion between body and soul to be low, at only around eighty percent.
It was as if the universal laws had forcibly stuffed a broken soul into a similarly flawed body, resulting in such a thing.
Lin Moyu pinched his hand lightly.
With a loud bang, the monster was crushed.
The stone tablet that had been carried on its back fell into Lin Moyu's hand.
With a pulse of soul power, Lin Moyu instantly read all the information recorded within.
The information on the stone tablet had been written and recorded using soul power.
It documented the situation of this child universe.
Most people in the child universe did not know there even was a mother universe outside.
Only those who reached the Chaos Realm could enter the mother universe from the child universe, and they called this "ascension".
After ascending, their realms did not change, but their strength would greatly increase, and once their realms continued to rise, their growth in power became extremely exaggerated, far beyond what was possible inside the child universe.
Lin Moyu naturally understood the reason.
The mother universe's laws were stronger and more restrictive.
At the same realm level, those in the mother universe were bound to be stronger than those in the child universe.
At that time, as long as people in the child universe reached the Chaos Realm, they would all ascend into the mother universe.
But then, one day, countless powerhouses from the mother universe returned all at once…
The stone tablet was damaged, and its information ended there.
Although incomplete, it was enough for Lin Moyu to roughly deduce how this universe had experienced the Great Annihilation.
However, the information was still insufficient.
Lin Moyu wanted to see more.
With a thought, the void twisted, and an endless tide of Undying Spirit Soldiers surged out like a great flood, rushing in all directions.
Lin Moyu sent out ten billion Undying Spirit Soldiers in one breath.
Here, he had no need for any scruples and could simply kill his way through.
This universe had already gone through a Great Annihilation.
Its laws no longer contained any karma.
No matter how he killed, there would be no problem.
The Undying Spirit Soldiers quickly encountered the mutated beings of the child universe.
Without any wasted words, they struck immediately.
One after another, the aberrant lifeforms in the child universe were slain, and at the same time, the Undying Spirit Soldiers collected information, bringing back any items that contained records and delivering them to Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu examined them one by one, gaining a thorough understanding of this universe.
Back then, the massive number of people who had ascended from the child universe into the mother universe returned because a cultivator of the Dao of Fate among them sensed the coming of the Great Annihilation.
Only by returning to the child universe would there be a sliver of hope for survival, so that group returned together.
At that time, because too many returned at once and they were all far too powerful, they exceeded what the child universe could withstand, and a great war broke out.
In order to allow more people to come back from the mother universe, they practically slaughtered everyone in the child universe.
In the end, those who remained in the child universe were almost all returnees from the mother universe.
The people who had originally lived there were almost entirely wiped out, leaving no new births.
Later, when the Great Annihilation finally came, the mother universe turned into remains, while the child universe, under the protection of the mother universe, did not completely shatter.
However, even those who had fled back could not be completely spared.
Some died, and others mutated, becoming what they were now.
After sorting everything out, Lin Moyu let out a light laugh.
"The beings of this universe have a good habit.
They like to write down every matter, big and small.
Saves me the trouble of figuring things out myself."
The Hongmeng Stone said,
"No wonder I sensed such deep resentment in the child universe.
So the people of the child universe were all slaughtered, and those left were the ones who had once ascended to the mother universe and returned."
Lin Moyu replied,
"Yes.
Among those who came back, there was a strongest one, already extremely close to the supreme level, named True Lord Ziyun.
"When I used the laws earlier to peer into this universe, I discovered that he was at the very center of the child universe.
"He has refined part of the child universe's laws.
If the child universe is to be reduced to remains, he must be dealt with."
The Hongmeng Stone said,
"With Master's strength, handling him should not be a problem."
Now, Lin Moyu's physical body was extremely close to that of a supreme, and his soul was almost no different from a supreme's.
With the Nine Heavens Fate Art added on top, unless he faced a true supreme, even the universe itself would stand on Lin Moyu's side.
Dealing with a single True Lord Ziyun was not a big issue in the Hongmeng Stone's eyes.
Lin Moyu said,
"It has been a long time since truly taking action.
Hopefully, he will not disappoint me."
Since his strength had risen, Lin Moyu's chances to personally act had grown fewer and fewer.
Even in that Dao attainment battle within the Ancient Chaos Wilds, he had relied more on scheming than on direct combat.
At the time, if not for Lin Mohan's sake, he could have completely crushed that group of opponents.
He had only held back for fear of hitting too hard and killing them.
Here, however, he did not need any scruples.
He could finally move his muscles and bones properly.
He flew slowly toward the center of the child universe, while the Undying Spirit Soldiers swept across it.
Wherever they passed, not a single chicken or dog was left alive.
The child universe quaked again and again as one mutated being after another was killed.
For the child universe, this was actually a good thing, as the pressure it had been bearing was being steadily reduced.
Karmic cycles turned.
The obsessions and resentments once left behind gradually dissipated together with their destruction, vanishing like smoke.
The slaughter Lin Moyu brought became a form of transcendence.
