Chapter 3712: 3712 Chapter 3712: The Culprit Behind the Death of the Lord of Hell When the question was raised, Lei Jiuxuan’s expression became complex. He seemed to want to say something but couldn’t bring himself to speak. Lin Moyu noticed his conflict and said: "It seems you know something. You don’t need to answer; just nod." "Was it him who ordered the killing?" Lei Jiuxuan hesitated for a moment before nodding, but then shook his head. Lin Moyu understood his meaning: "You suspect it was him, but you have no evidence." Lei Jiuxuan immediately nodded. This made the Third Ancestor and others look very serious; they realized something. Just as they were about to say something, Lin Moyu’s expression changed, and he shot them a sharp glance, stopping them from speaking. Lin Moyu’s eyes turned sharp, and he signaled to the Third Ancestor and others to retreat. They quickly understood and backed away. Lin Moyu also retreated, activating the Heaven Imprisoning Formation and fully igniting the World-Burning Fire. Cries erupted as Lei Jiuxuan shouted loudly: "You promised to spare my life!" Lin Moyu didn’t say a word, continuing to retreat while taking out one primordial virtual treasure after another, releasing a large amount of chaotic mist. The group quickly disappeared into the mist. Through the mist, one could faintly see the World-Burning Fire raging on, spreading from the real world into the Soul Void. The Beast Emperor was about to say something, but the Third Ancestor signaled him to be quiet. Lin Moyu threw out more primordial virtual treasures, which burst into various colors of light, intertwining with each other. Several small spirit domain kings appeared as virtual images, releasing astonishing auras. The group retreated further until they completely left the Blood Mouse Realm. Lin Moyu didn’t relax yet, continuing to envelop them with chaotic mist. After retreating a long way, Lin Moyu finally let out a sigh of relief: "It’s okay now." The Beast Emperor couldn’t help but ask: "What happened?" Lin Moyu explained: "The Origin Continent’s world will has awakened. We are people of the Origin Continent, and all our information must not be discovered by it." The Beast Emperor felt a chill; any information, including sounds, forms, and soul auras, could be detected. If discovered by the world will, their fate would be death. Lin Moyu had done this to conceal their existence. The Heaven Imprisoning Formation, primordial virtual treasures, chaotic mist, and simulated small spirit domain kings were all methods used to hide them. The Third Ancestor asked: "Aren’t you afraid Lei Jiuxuan will betray us?" Lin Moyu shook his head: "Don’t worry about him; he can’t speak. The world will is coming from outside, and with the Heaven Imprisoning Formation, it can’t get in." "By the time it can contact Lei Jiuxuan, he will already be dead from the World-Burning Fire." The final flames of the World-Burning Fire ensured that Lei Jiuxuan couldn’t utter a single word. The Third Ancestor’s expression turned serious: "I never thought that after cultivating for countless years, our situation would be like this." Mo Hei sighed: "There’s a saying that without reaching the Great Dao realm, all spirits are like ants. It seems that even if we become Great Dao realm cultivators and Dao Lords, we’re still just bigger ants." The Beast Emperor also said: "Is there any meaning in our cultivation?" At this moment, he seemed somewhat disheartened, feeling as though he had lost his goal. Many people cultivate to achieve immortality by reaching the Great Dao realm, unaware that even in the Great Dao realm, there is no true immortality. Lin Moyu said: "There’s no need to be so pessimistic. All things in the world have two sides. We may be ants for now, but we won’t always be." "Think about it another way; isn’t the world will also an ant? Countless worlds are born and die, and the world will cannot live forever." "To truly achieve immortality, one must defy heaven and constantly grow stronger." The Third Ancestor waved his hand: "Indeed, there’s no need to be pessimistic. Now that we’ve confirmed the world will has intelligence, you can analyze it further, Little Fox. Also, tell us everything you haven’t said yet." Lin Moyu nodded: "Before, I was just speculating, but now with Lei Jiuxuan’s testimony, it’s confirmed." "Firstly, the world will has intelligence; this is no longer in doubt. Then I thought about a genius from the Buddhist tribe who created the Three Lives Secret Method and became a small spirit domain king." "But that Buddhist genius ended up dying and disappearing, while the Buddhist tribe still exists on the Origin Continent with great karma. Don’t you find this strange?" The Third Ancestor whispered: "The existence of such a genius suggests that the Buddhist tribe was once very prosperous. Yet, the current Buddhist tribe, despite having great karma, is pitifully weak." "So you speculate that the downfall of the Buddhist tribe is also related to the world will?" Lin Moyu nodded: "I speculate that the Buddhist tribe and the Insect tribe should be remnants from a previous era on the Origin Continent." "They flourished in that era with many strong figures, but were eventually buried by the world will." "Today’s Buddhist and Insect tribes are like pets left behind by the world will, witnessing the changes of the ages." As they listened to Lin Moyu’s analysis, even though they had prepared themselves, they were still deeply impacted. The waters of this world were deeper than they had imagined. Lin Moyu continued: "Based on this, we can infer that the true culprit behind the death of the Lord of Hell is a strong figure who survived from the previous era." "More accurately, it’s the most loyal servant of the world will. Only those who are most loyal have the qualification to live through an era and achieve what’s called immortality." "Exchanging freedom for immortality isn’t necessarily a bad thing." "There’s a hidden Thunder Great Dao in the Blood Mouse Realm, and naturally, there will be corresponding hidden Great Daos on the Origin Continent." "What we see of the world is just one corner." The Third Ancestor whispered: "Are the Insect and Buddhist tribes from the same era?" Lin Moyu smiled: "It’s hard to say if they’re from the same era. It’s possible, but also possible they’re not." "Perhaps each era has a different form. Our era is one where all races flourish." "It’s possible that in the previous era, there was only the Buddhist tribe or the Insect tribe, or maybe both coexisted." "I can also guess that the Insect tribe likely originated from the same source as the Dragon tribe, which is why the Dragon tribe sees them as archenemies." Lin Moyu’s speculations were well-reasoned and not baseless. The Beast Emperor whispered: "Did they never discover this and try to resist?" Lin Moyu smiled: "How could they not? The Buddhist geniuses created the Three Lives Secret Method and became small spirit domain kings as a form of resistance." "The world exists within small spirit domains, and by becoming their kings, they tried to counter the world. Unfortunately, this method failed." "Their physical bodies remained on the Origin Continent, unable to truly escape. The world will had many ways to deal with them, just like our situation now." "So before we succeed, we must keep our secrets. Otherwise, our fate will be the same as that era’s—buried by the world will." "I think we should proceed like this..." After a series of preparations, Lin Moyu finally revealed his plan.
