Chapter 4790: Advancement to Nine Cycles
"Just some remnant rules, and you dare make a move on me? Kill!"
Lin Moyu spoke heavenly words, striking with overwhelming force.
The Wings of Heaven and Earth vibrated, and the rules of the Nine Cycle universe were completely brought under his control as he reversed the assault on the giant.
Endless rule power turned into thunder, shattering the giant phantom.
Lin Moyu's movements were crisp and decisive, giving the giant no chance at all.
The giant phantom was formed by the rules in which the Divine Sky Stone participated, its rules fused with the obsession and will of the strongest being of this universe.
It was very strong and stood as the final self defense measure of this universe.
Yet in front of Lin Moyu, who could manipulate the rules of the universe, it still had no power to fight back.
As the rules collapsed, the Hongmeng Purple Flame pushed forward like a hot knife through butter, refining the core of the universe.
Heaven and earth crumbled, and this Nine Cycle universe that had once barely clung to life in the Great Annihilation finally迎来了 its final day.
"It's done.
"With this universe, my Language God Universe now has the foundation of a Nine Cycle universe.
"When the life and death tribulation of the first cycle arrives, there will be a high probability of achieving Nine Cycle status."
"Now there is only one problem left, namely how I am to find the Void of the Flesh.
"If I achieve the Dao without a Void of the Flesh, it will always be somewhat imperfect."
"With a Nine Cycle universe as the foundation, my formation dao as the eye, that is where my physical body will be!"
"But my formation dao is still short by a single step, and time is a bit tight."
Lin Moyu made up his mind inwardly, yet there was still an issue regarding time.
For this problem, even Time Essence Stones were of no use.
The Living Beings Chessboard was at too high a level, far above the universe itself, and Time Essence Stones could not affect it in the slightest.
The Hongmeng Gem also understood the plight Lin Moyu was in, and suddenly thought of a method.
"Master, perhaps after this advancement of the Language God Universe, Little Tree can try manipulating time to influence the Living Beings Chessboard."
Lin Moyu's eyes lit up.
"Little Tree is the Hongmeng Spirit Tree; its essence is higher than that of a Nine Cycle universe.
"Even if it cannot compare to the Living Beings Chessboard, it may still be able to influence it a little."
Time was far too precious to him now.
Even if they could only win a bit more of it, it was still something worth fighting for.
Ever since the World Burning Fire evolved into the Hongmeng Purple Flame, its power far surpassed what it had been before.
Within the purple flames, arcs of lightning jumped, with faint thunderclaps rumbling from within.
Every time the lightning flickered, the speed of refinement increased by another layer.
Originally, the core of a Nine Cycle universe would have required at least a dozen days of work to refine, but now after only a few days it was already refined seven or eight parts out of ten.
Amid thunderous rumbling, the universe collapsed, this time completely.
Even remnants would no longer exist.
Those three obsession driven beings guarding the universe's core also turned to dust as the rules shattered.
Very soon, all that belonged to this universe would be erased, with not a single trace left behind.
A large number of rule crystals fell out and were gathered up by Lin Moyu.
This universe was making its final contribution to Lin Moyu's growth.
Only the now empty nine storied pagoda was taken away.
Lin Moyu then turned and entered the spatial passage that Little Tree had already constructed, leaving this universe.
Witnessing a universe collapse again with his own eyes, Lin Moyu felt utterly calm within.
Under the Great Annihilation, nothing could survive.
Even if this universe did not collapse now, it would do so sooner or later.
He was merely accelerating this process.
The Great Annihilation was like a cyclical tribulation for all universes.
Perhaps only by succeeding himself could he stop all of this.
Heaven and earth would reenact themselves, all things would be reborn, and the Forbidden Zone of Life would once again nurture universes.
Only then could his family and friends truly endure forever.
Perhaps, when that time came, it would be when he should finally rest.
He returned to the Language God Universe at the fastest speed and began reenacting heaven and earth.
This was the second Nine Cycle universe.
In Lin Moyu's eyes, compared to the first Nine Cycle child mother universe, it was a bit weaker, though not by much.
As the universe was reenacted, the Language God Universe began absorbing an incomparably pure power of heaven and earth.
Rule crystals fused into the Language God Universe, strengthening its rules.
The two grew together in tandem, maintaining balance.
Lin Moyu closed his eyes slightly.
The Wings of Heaven and Earth were already fully spread, and the Nine Heavens Fate Technique transformed into a galaxy threading through the void.
He manipulated the rules, helping the Language God Universe better absorb the power of the universe.
At the same time, he felt the changes within the Language God Universe.
The Hongmeng Gem quietly asked, "Master, can it succeed?"
Lin Moyu gave a soft hum. "There is not much problem."
He could feel the Language God Universe slowly sublimating.
In the current situation, once it finished absorbing this Nine Cycle universe, the Language God Universe could also be raised to the same level.
The most difficult step in raising a universe was the qualitative change from six cycles to seven.
Once that hurdle was passed, everything afterward would be smooth sailing.
The next truly difficult hurdle should be how to raise the Language God Universe to a Hongmeng Universe.
He was now one hundred percent certain that in some prior era, a Hongmeng Universe had once appeared.
Since it could appear in another era, then it could appear in his era as well.
Naturally, he too could become the supreme powerhouse of a Hongmeng Universe.
The path was still not very distinct at the moment, a bit blurry, but that did not stop him from continuing to walk it.
Five years later, countless bolts of lightning suddenly surged up within the Language God Universe.
Thunder filled the void, and strands of rules took visible form.
If there had been living beings within the universe, they would certainly have paid their respects in reverence at this moment.
Unfortunately, the life and death of the Language God Universe remained undecided, and it had yet to nurture complete living beings of its own.
Those beings still in the process of being nurtured were all waiting for the arrival of the first great tribulation.
At that time, the original treasures of the universe's source would forge bodies for them, develop great daos, and complete their final gestation.
As for Little Wu and the others, they had obtained a massive amount of Primordial Qi from those beings.
Over these years, their cultivation had increased at an extremely rapid pace.
However, they were not native beings of the Language God Universe and would not bow to its rules.
The rules manifested, and then they all turned toward Lin Moyu at once, spraying rainbow light upon him.
Rules could not speak and had no intelligence of their own, yet they still acted according to the rules.
The advancement of the Language God Universe, the strengthening of its rules
All of this was due to Lin Moyu's contributions, and the rules instinctively expressed gratitude.
Moreover, Lin Moyu was the master of the Language God Universe.
Even if he had not yet refined it, all rules within the universe already acknowledged him as their lord.
All the rules chimed together, rainbow radiance enveloped him, and Lin Moyu's aura slowly rose, pushing three steps closer to the level of a supreme powerhouse.
At this point, as long as Lin Moyu wished it, becoming a supreme powerhouse was but a single thought away.
Yet it was not time.
There was still some distance before reaching the goal he had set.
With the advancement of the Language God Universe, aside from the chorus of rules expressing gratitude, the one who benefited the most was undoubtedly Little Tree.
Little Tree once again grew robust, and in only a few days it was several times larger than before.
Now it resembled a sky supporting tree, propping up the entire universe.
The power it absorbed from the Forbidden Zone of Life continuously flowed back into the Language God Universe, allowing the universe to grow stronger at every moment.
The Language God Universe had indeed reached Nine Cycle status, but it had only just stepped through the gate.
To grow to the peak of a Nine Cycle universe would still require some time.
Fortunately, once Nine Cycle status was reached, the foundation was laid.
What came after would no longer pose a problem, and the timing of future great tribulations would no longer affect it.
Lin Moyu looked beyond the universe.
At this moment, the Wall of Heaven and Earth had not yet revealed itself, but its power had already flowed into the Language God Universe.
After a mental calculation, he said calmly,
"There are still two hundred and eighty two years left.
"I do not know if Little Tree can influence the Living Beings Chessboard.
"If it cannot, then this time truly may not be enough."
The Hongmeng Gem asked, "If it does not work, what does master plan to do?"
Lin Moyu replied, "Then I can only first achieve the Dao and make up for it later.
"I am not so muddled that I cannot distinguish between what is of greater and lesser importance."
Even if the Void of the Flesh could not be found, he still had to first achieve the Dao.
The Void of the Flesh might still have a chance to be remedied in the future, but if he was late in achieving the Dao, his entire plan would fail.
After a few days, once Little Tree had stabilized, Lin Moyu said softly,
"Little Tree, help me with something."
