Chapter 3698: 3698 Chapter 3698: I’ll Take the Lead Facing the Third Ancestor’s question, Lin Moyu shook his head: "My path is different from yours. I won’t become a Dao Lord, but I will have a final battle with the world will of the Origin Continent." "At that time, the strong figures of the Origin Continent will likely become the world will’s soldiers and engage in a life-or-death battle with me." "I don’t want to face death with you seniors." The Third Ancestor could sense that Lin Moyu’s words were genuine. If they were to face each other in a life-or-death battle, it would be somewhat pitiful. However, if he remained in the Origin Continent at that time, this battle seemed unavoidable. The Beast Emperor asked: "What about your friends on the Origin Continent?" Lin Moyu replied: "Their strength is not great; a single formation could trap them. Once I settle the battle with the world will, everything will be resolved." "But you seniors are powerful, and I couldn’t show mercy if we were to fight. If it were another Dao Lord, they would certainly think I’m boasting." "But you understand me; you know I’m not speaking nonsense. Ordinary Dao Lords are no longer in my consideration." "When the time comes, facing me could mean certain death." The Third Ancestor said: "This matter is still early; let’s not discuss it for now. Instead, let’s talk about the Lizard God Realm. Do you plan to destroy it or occupy it?" Lin Moyu said: "There are many worlds, and the Lizard God Realm isn’t the best choice, but it’s a good one." "Firstly, it’s not too strong, relatively speaking, neither the Dao Lords nor the world itself are powerful." "Secondly, it has a past with the Origin Continent, and there’s a causal connection between them. If someone becomes the master of the Lizard God Realm, they could use the Cause and Effect Great Dao to locate the Origin Continent in the real world." "I’m not referring to locating it in the Soul Void, but in the real world. This is crucial." "Once located in the real world, we can perform various operations, such as launching a feint attack on the Origin Continent to draw away strong forces and reduce my burden and casualties." "Lin Moyu isn’t hiding this; it’s his personal intention. Please forgive him." The Third Ancestor said: "Cultivators all have personal intentions. Without them, why cultivate? The Great Daos are impartial because they lack intelligence. Once they gain intelligence, they will also have personal intentions." "You’ve thought of reducing casualties, which is commendable." "If we occupy several worlds, we can work together to locate the Origin Continent and launch a feint attack in coordination with you." The Third Ancestor spoke, and the Beast Emperor and others agreed, finding this plan feasible. They also had friends and family on the Origin Continent and didn’t want innocent lives lost. This was the outcome Lin Moyu desired, and having the Third Ancestor suggest it was more effective than if he had said it himself. Lin Moyu smiled: "It’s too early to discuss this now. Let’s go deal with the Lizard God Realm first." The Third Ancestor said: "You’re lingering here; let’s get moving." With this settled, Lin Moyu felt a slight relief in his heart. He couldn’t predict the future, so he could only lay out his plans as best he could. Lin Moyu couldn’t help but mock himself; he had unknowingly transformed from a insignificant pawn into a key player in the grand scheme, ready to clash with the entire world. Although the Origin Continent was just a small part of the vast universe, it was still enormous for him. He wanted to become stronger, so he had to first overturn this sea. Collaborating with the Third Ancestor and others was the first step in doing so. The group pierced through the thick mist, drawing closer to the Lizard God Realm. Along the way, they still didn’t encounter any virtual beasts. Lin Moyu had cleared them out earlier. Some were absorbed or refined into Virtual Soul Pills, which became Little Python’s possessions. Throughout the journey, Little Python remained at Lin Moyu’s feet, serving as his mount. It didn’t speak, nor did it dare to. It didn’t even want to listen. The conspiracy among these powerful figures was beyond what a mere virtual beast like it could handle. The more it knew, the more entangled it would become in causality, and the sooner it would die. Yet, it had no choice but to listen. All it could do was cling to Lin Moyu’s leg and not let go. The Third Ancestor looked at Little Python: "Little fox, your mount isn’t bad." Lin Moyu nodded: "It’s quite obedient. It’s followed me for a few hundred years and knows what to do and what not to do." The Third Ancestor said: "If it listens, it can live longer. If not, it can be slaughtered." The Beast Emperor said: "Don’t scare the little guy. If it doesn’t listen, don’t kill it. I like eating virtual beasts." Mo Hei chuckled: "Your mouth is too small; you eat slowly. My mouth is big; I can swallow directly without pain." The Beast Emperor said: "Don’t joke. If you swallow it, it would still suffer from your innate essence fire, which would be truly agonizing." Little Python trembled, listening to these terrifying figures who casually talked about eating it. Lin Moyu laughed: "This guy is timid. If you keep scaring it, it might die from fear." The Beast Emperor laughed heartily and patted Little Python’s head: "Don’t be afraid, little one. I’m just teasing." Little Python remained silent, focusing on moving forward. Finally, they arrived outside the Lizard God Realm. Shen Chen sat motionless in the void, then stood up to greet them as he saw Lin Moyu approaching with the others. "Shen Chen greets the Dao Lords." Shen Chen bowed respectfully, recognizing these figures as Dao Lords. Especially when facing Mo Hei, Shen Chen felt a sense of awe, feeling inferior and wanting to kneel. Lin Moyu introduced: "This is Shen Chen, a high-ranking one-tier soul cultivator of the Heavy Water Great Dao." Mo Hei appraised him: "I remember that the Great Dao has a Dao Lord." Shen Chen replied: "What you said is correct, sir. The Dao Lord of the Heavy Water Great Dao is my teacher." Mo Hei smiled: "You don’t want to take your teacher’s position as Dao Lord, so you’re seeking a world outside to become a Dao Lord. This idea is good, but unfortunately, you’ll likely die trying." Shen Chen said: "I understand, but there’s no other way. There’s a path forward, and I must proceed. My teacher’s kindness is boundless, and I can only do this." From their brief conversation, it was clear that Shen Chen was a man of strong emotions and loyalty, unwilling to usurp his teacher’s position as Dao Lord. Instead, he sought opportunities outside. It’s a perilous path, but he had no choice. Lin Moyu looked favorably upon Shen Chen because of this. He thought of helping Shen Chen achieve his goal, perhaps even becoming a Dao Lord. The Third Ancestor said: "Someone with such strong emotions and loyalty is rare. Since that’s the case, let’s help him achieve his goal." Mo Hei said: "I’ll take the lead!" As he spoke, the void filled with water, transforming into a massive wave that surged towards the Lizard God Realm.
