The information transmitted by the Shadow Mother was extensive; it even contained ancient memories.
It appeared once in a very long time ago, when someone was hunting Shadow Bugs.
At that time, there were many Wild Shadow Insects in the world. They lived peacefully in their own space.
As a result, someone came to hunt them down, and they suffered heavy losses. In the end, they fused with the Shadow Insect Queen, which injured him and forced him to retreat.
That was the first appearance of the Shadow Insect Mother. Apart from now, it has only appeared once in the history of the Chaotic Ancient Wilderness.
ADVERTISEMENTAs for who is hunting them, the Shadow Insect Queen doesn't know. She only knows that the other party can also manipulate space and time, and that the other party is so powerful that they cannot fight against it.
This piqued Lin Moyu's interest. At that time, the world was undergoing its second great calamity, also known as the severance of all life in the world.
At that time, countless powerful beings born from heaven and earth fought and killed each other frantically for the opportunity to break through on June 17th when the great calamity came.
At that time, there were indeed people who possessed the ability to manipulate space and time, such as Xiaoshu, but it seems unlikely that they could easily slaughter the Shadow Worms.
The spacetime abilities of the Shadow Worm are already top-tier; it seems that no other living being can compare to them.
Lin Moyu will not dwell on this issue for now. Besides this history, the information also explains the abilities of the Shadow Queen.
As the strongest among the Shadow Insects, the Shadow Insect Queen no longer needs to travel through time and space; she can stay in a certain time and space for a long time.
At the same time, it can hide its projection in real time and space, making it extremely difficult for others to discover its existence.
Using its ability to manipulate space and time, it can easily enter other people's territories without them even noticing.
It can launch attacks from spacetime into the real world, making it impossible to defend against.
The attack power of spacetime is quite terrifying. It is not a spell, but it is even stronger than a spell. Moreover, the thousand legs of the Shadow Insect Mother are all divine weapons, enough to sever the physical body of a Great Venerable.
These abilities differed slightly from what Lin Moyu had envisioned, but overall they were the same, exactly what Lin Moyu wanted.
With this ability, at the right time, we might be able to retrieve the small world from the Great Lord of Calamity.
After putting away the Shadow Insect Mother, Lin Moyu looked at the shattered void that was slowly repairing itself. The space that had been smashed to pieces would take some time to repair.
Lin Moyu said to the Primordial Gem, "Now you can speak."
ADVERTISEMENTHongmeng Gem chuckled and said, "Since Master has asked, then of course I can say it. Does Master remember when I said that there were three people in this world who surpassed the Great Venerable?"
At that time, Lin Mohan had not yet surpassed the Great Venerable, let alone the Desolate Shadow Mother.
At that time, the Primordial Gem said there were three beings who surpassed the Great Venerable, namely 'Dao' and the Heavenly Calamity Great Venerable, while the third one remained deeply hidden.
Hongmeng Gem said, "That guy is very well hidden. Before, I only knew that he existed, but I didn't know where he was."
"This time, I finally discovered him. My master was right; there is indeed someone manipulating the rules of heaven and earth."
Lin Moyu whispered, "Can he manipulate the rules of heaven and earth?"
The Primordial Gem said, "It's just a little bit. The three most common ways to become the strongest are to prove the Dao through grand aspirations, to prove the Dao by merging with heaven and earth, and to prove the Dao through force."
"Every world is different, and the paths one can take are also different. If it is difficult to achieve enlightenment in this world, then one can only take other paths. One of them is to integrate the rules of the world to achieve enlightenment."
"That guy is on this path, but he's only just started. He can only slightly manipulate the rules of heaven and earth. He's still a long way from becoming a supreme expert."
"However, his ability to hide is indeed very strong. If he hadn't manipulated the rules of heaven and earth this time to kill the Shadow Insect Mother, I would have had a hard time finding out."
Lin Moyu asked, "Did you see who he was?"
The Primordial Gem shook its head. "I can't see it. It has used the rules of heaven and earth to hide itself very well. I can only know that it exists, but I can't see it clearly, let alone know where it is."
Lin Moyu's eyes were thoughtful. If what the Primordial Gem said was true, then everything made sense.
Why would the rules of heaven and earth want to kill him? Because there is someone manipulating things behind the scenes. When he becomes the enemy of heaven and earth and is also the one destined for tribulation, then Song will have the opportunity to prove his Dao if he kills him.
The method used to kill is not important.
The opponent used the rules of heaven and earth to hide himself, and at the same time manipulated the rules of heaven and earth to try to kill him, so that he could attain enlightenment.
It wasn't that the rules of heaven and earth gave birth to consciousness, but rather that someone was walking the path of merging with heaven and earth.
This time, his desire to kill the Shadow Insect Queen implies that he and the Shadow Insect Queen must have had a grudge against each other.
In addition to the memories of the Shadow Insect Queen, this also proves that he was the one who hunted the Shadow Insects back then.
He had been injured by the Shadow Insect Queen before, so his desire to kill her now seemed reasonable.
So if we know who hunted the Shadow Worms back then, we can find out who is hiding behind the scenes.
Lin Moyu posed this question to Chaos Child and Little Tree, but Chaos Child knew nothing about it.
After thinking for a while, Xiaoshu said uncertainly, "I did hear back then that there was a powerful guy hunting Shadow Worms, but I don't know exactly who it was."
"But one thing is certain: anyone capable of hunting Shadow Worms must be extremely skilled in the power of spacetime, and must surpass me in this aspect."
"There seems to be only one who can surpass me in both the power of spacetime and strength, and that is the Divine Void Beast."
Back then, Xiaoshu and Hun Dunzi ranked the ancient creatures. There was a divine beast in the first ten miles. Xiaoshu ranked it seventh and Hun Dunzi ranked it sixth.
The Divine Void Beast is skilled at manipulating space-time and the power of illusion and reality; it is very powerful.
In terms of ability, he is capable of ranking in the top three, but in reality, his combat strength is not that strong.
Moreover, he died very young, for reasons unknown, and crucially, no one knows who killed him.
But only a handful of people have the ability to kill him.
Lin Moyu shook her head. "That shouldn't be him; the timing doesn't match."
According to the memories given by the Shadow Insect Mother, the hunting of Shadow Insects occurred in the middle and late stages of the Great Tribulation, while the death of the Divine Void Beast occurred in the early stages of the Heavenly Tribulation.
If the timing doesn't match, then the Divine Void Beast can be ruled out.
At this moment, the Hongmeng Treasure 0.9 Stone reminded, "A friendly reminder to the master: you don't necessarily need to be good at manipulating time and space to hunt the Wild Shadow Insects. You can also use the corresponding treasures."
Lin Moyu said, "That's right, having the corresponding treasure is fine, but it must also possess strong combat power."
"Moreover, he wouldn't hunt Shadow Worms for no reason; there must be a reason. The Shadow Worms should be able to benefit from making a mistake."
"The greatest benefit of the Shadow Worms should be their corpses. After refining the corpses, you can get something similar to Time Stones."
"In other words, what the other party really wants is the Time Stone; he needs the ability to control time."
"And who has the greatest need for the ability to control time?"
Lin Moyu analyzed each point one by one, letting Xiaoshu and Hun Dunzi think along with him, since they knew the situation best and their analysis would certainly be more accurate than his own.
