Chapter 4797: Lin Moyu's Story
Lin Moyu told a story, a story only he had deduced and that only he knew.
In Lin Moyu's story, within the void formed by the Forbidden Zone of Life and the Wall of the Universe, there had not been just one Great Annihilation.
Each Great Annihilation was the destruction of an era, the fall of an epoch.
In one such era of Great Annihilation, there once appeared a tremendously powerful universe that surpassed the nine cycle universes, called the Hongmeng Universe.
Yet even the Hongmeng Universe could not endure the Great Annihilation.
Within the former Hongmeng Universe, a supreme expert had appeared.
This supreme expert had crossed the Forbidden Zone of Life and obtained a treasure pointed out to him by a universe on the other side of the Forbidden Zone.
Because of his existence, plus the inherent strength of the Hongmeng Universe, they had managed to survive in the midst of the Great Annihilation.
But this supreme expert clearly lacked contentment.
Merely surviving was not enough for him; he wanted more.
He wanted to once again reach the end of the Forbidden Zone of Life, enter the Wall of the Universe, and go to the origin of everything.
He needed a power even stronger, and for that, he needed the power of other universes.
Ordinary universes were useless to him.
He needed universes that were qualified to advance to Hongmeng level.
Only that kind of universe could bring him the corresponding benefits.
The Hongmeng Gem said, "According to Master's conjecture, that guy survived the last round of Great Annihilation?"
Lin Moyu shook his head.
"Not necessarily.
"Perhaps one has to go even further back.
"Not every Great Annihilation produces a Hongmeng level universe.
"And after his existence appeared, a Hongmeng level universe would no longer be allowed to appear.
"Even if one did appear, it would be taken by him."
"And no one would ever again be allowed to cross the Forbidden Zone of Life.
"He would definitely stop those people."
The Hongmeng Gem said, "Damn, how did Master discover all this?"
Lin Moyu said, "Do you not find it strange?
"The Hongmeng Spirit Tree Leaf, the Hongmeng Tree Root, and that flower during the second tribulation of the Primordial Desolation of Chaos, which was also related to Hongmeng.
"If the guess is not wrong, that should have been the Hongmeng Spirit Flower."
"In addition to that, if you add yourself in, you are all related to Hongmeng."
The Hongmeng Gem still could not figure it out.
"But just from that alone, you still can't deduce all those things you said, Master."
Lin Moyu said, "What was mentioned above is only one part.
"Naturally there are other reasons.
"After a Great Annihilation, a universe will be conceived anew within the embers.
"That universe will gather great fortune and will, ten to one, be a universe surpassing seven cycles, and within it there will be a great chance for a supreme expert to arise."
"But look at Primordial Desolation of Chaos how many cycles is that universe?
"Since the Primordial Desolation of Chaos already exists, why would my Language God Universe still be born?"
The Hongmeng Gem clearly did not understand and shook its "head" to indicate that it did not get it.
Lin Moyu said, "Only one universe will be born within the embers.
"Since the Primordial Desolation of Chaos exists, there should not be any other universes.
"But the Language God Universe was also born.
"This means that the existence of Primordial Desolation of Chaos is actually abnormal; it is not a universe born from the embers."
"Yet it appeared anyway, and when it went through its great tribulation, it even attracted the remnants of other universes to it and established connections with them.
"This fits the pattern of the entire era."
The Hongmeng Gem finally understood a little.
"Master means that someone altered the rules."
Lin Moyu said, "If there are rules within the Great Annihilation, then yes, someone altered them.
"Do you still remember the mother and child universes we once experienced?"
The Hongmeng Gem nodded.
"Of course I remember."
Lin Moyu said, "I suspect that the Primordial Desolation of Chaos is a child universe created by that Hongmeng Universe.
"He is using the Primordial Desolation of Chaos to attract the remnants of other universes."
The Hongmeng Gem asked curiously, "But didn't Master say that those weak universe remnants are useless to him?"
Lin Moyu said, "Even a mosquito, small as it is, is still meat.
"They may be useless for him to advance further, but they can still be used for maintenance.
"Also, he is definitely experimenting.
"He is trying to figure out how to make his own universe stronger and attempting to advance one step further.
"Experiments always require test subjects.
"I did many similar things myself in the past.
"If I could do it, others naturally can as well."
"But no matter what, his ultimate target is definitely the Language God Universe."
Lin Moyu had already explained it very clearly, and the Hongmeng Gem fully understood.
The Language God Universe was the powerful universe born from the embers in this cycle of Great Annihilation and the final sliver of hope of this Great Annihilation.
The Primordial Desolation of Chaos was just something that fellow forcefully created by altering the rules.
Although it was also a complete universe, in essence it was not very strong, merely a four cycle universe.
The other party simply wanted to use the Primordial Desolation of Chaos as an experiment to verify whether his ideas were correct, but he would not give up on his final target, the Language God Universe.
Lin Moyu said calmly, "He must be surprised that the growth speed of the Language God Universe has vastly exceeded his expectations.
"Most importantly, I can step into the Forbidden Zone of Life."
"Even if a supreme expert emerged in a nine cycle universe, that supreme expert would not normally be capable of setting foot in the Primordial Desolation of Chaos, at least not in the beginning."
"Yet I managed it anyway.
"He was clearly surprised and confused by that just now, which is also why he chose to give up.
"He cannot figure out my depths."
"…Also asking for flowers 0…"
"Likewise, he will not know how many trump cards I still hold.
"These trump cards will take his life one day."
The Hongmeng Gem asked, "Then where exactly will he be?"
Lin Moyu smiled.
"Where else could he be?
"Just think and you will know."
The Hongmeng Gem thought for a moment, then its eyes suddenly lit up.
"The deepest part of Primordial Desolation!"
Lin Moyu said, "Even before, I already felt that the deepest part of Primordial Desolation was abnormal, but at that time my strength was insufficient, and there were other important matters, so I did not investigate further."
"But this matter is not urgent either.
"After this battle, he likely will not dare to come here again in the short term, since this is my home ground.
"If the guess is right, he will instead try to lure me over, then kill me on his home ground, and only then come to claim this Language God Universe."
The Hongmeng Gem said, "Will he use the Primordial Desolation of Chaos as part of that?"
Lin Moyu nodded.
"He should.
"But it does not matter everything still comes down to strength."
The Hongmeng Gem asked curiously, "There is one more thing I cannot figure out."
Lin Moyu said, "You want to know about your own origins, right?
"You are wondering whether you also came from that Hongmeng Universe?"
The Hongmeng Gem nodded.
"My name is Hongmeng Gem, and it seems like I have a piece of my memory missing, so I do not know where I came from."
Lin Moyu shook his head.
"No.
"That person just now did not recognize you; he merely sensed your aura, so he did not fear you."
"Secondly, the era of Great Annihilations spans more than one cycle.
"Perhaps there were cycles even before him, and the Hongmeng Universes of those times might not still exist today.
"You may have come from the Hongmeng Universe of that earlier time."
"In addition, I have another guess.
"Your origin might be higher than even the Hongmeng Universe.
"Although I have never seen a Hongmeng Universe, I feel that a Hongmeng Universe may not necessarily be qualified to nurture you."
"Of course, all of this is my speculation.
"Perhaps the answer will be revealed in the future.
"But there is a question to be asked: does that answer really matter?"
Faced with Lin Moyu's counter question, the Hongmeng Gem was stunned.
Then it burst out laughing.
"Right, that question is not important at all.
"I am not some living being.
"I am just an artifact spirit.
"Why should I care about my origins?
"I do not need to go looking for parents or recognize some ancestral clan.
"I am simply myself."
Lin Moyu laughed.
"Exactly.
"You are you; no need to worry about anything else.
"All right, it is time to make some preparations.
"The Hongmeng Universe…
"I am quite interested in seeing it.
"Hopefully this time I can have a truly satisfying battle."
