Chapter 4160: 4160 Chapter 4160: A Promise Even the Lord of Causality cannot escape causality. It sounds almost laughable, but it’s the truth. When An Yuyan uses the Dao of Causality, she must endure the backlash from it. As the Lord of Causality, she can only lessen the backlash, not eliminate it entirely. And this is only within the boundaries of the world if she were in the chaos, the backlash would be even worse. Lin Moyu understood this deeply. Every time he used the Seeking Cause Ring, he would inevitably die once from the backlash. The Seeking Cause Ring is powerful, but its backlash is unbearable for others like a chicken rib, only he can use it. Lin Moyu didn’t know who gave the Seeking Cause Ring to the Three Lives Buddha was it the Green Robed Elder or the White Robed Elder? He had no idea. Back then, he’d thought about teaming up with the Three Lives Buddha to deal with the World Will, but as things changed and his own strength grew, he no longer needed the Buddha’s help and stopped contacting him. Unconsciously, Lin Moyu’s thoughts drifted. It wasn’t until a sharp, venomous, murderous gaze fell upon him, jolting his soul, that he snapped back to reality. The true body of the Lord of Time the Time Serpent was staring at him. Having been forced out by the Spirit of Time, with over ninety percent of the Time Dao seized, the Lord of Time was on the verge of demise. He realized he could never turn things around; the Spirit of Time’s schemes were too deep and preparations too thorough everything was aimed at him. Yet the true culprit behind it all was Lin Moyu. Without him, the Lord of Time would never have ended up like this. At the brink of death, the Lord of Time broke free from confusion and his mind cleared. He hissed with hatred, "It’s all your fault!" Lin Moyu chuckled, "It’s all causality. As an Eternal, do you still not understand this?" Though the Lord of Time regained clarity, his heart was consumed by hatred and he refused to reflect. He blamed everything on Lin Moyu, repeating, "It’s all your fault! All your fault!" His voice grew lower and his hatred deeper. "Let’s die together!" Boom! The Lord of Time’s true body exploded, accompanied by a soul tearing scream. He turned all his remaining power into a torrent of time, surging toward Lin Moyu. The rules of the Origin Land were swept away by the time torrent such restrictions meant nothing to an Eternal burning all his power for a final strike. The torrent of time was unavoidable; Lin Moyu could only confront it head on. Origin Technique: Wings of Time and Curse. With a thought, Lin Moyu unfurled the Wings of Time and Curse, which vibrated swiftly. They emitted a hazy light, stirring time itself, and ripples spread through the void. Each ripple contained the power of time and curse, making the void even more chaotic. When the torrent of time entered the ripples, it was immediately distorted and slowed sharply. To counter the torrent, Lin Moyu used time as well. He had dealt with time countless times. Though his understanding wasn’t as deep as the Lord of Time’s, he could still resist. Countless undead servants appeared, connecting to the Great Thousand World and using their chaos attribute to draw upon the power of the Time Dao in the Five World Domains. They reversed the flow of time together, restraining the Lord of Time’s torrent. The Lord of Time wanted to use his last strength to take Lin Moyu with him, but couldn’t harm him at all. The despair of dying in vain could only be felt by the Lord of Time himself. The torrent of time echoed with his screams, the Time Serpent’s shadow appearing again and again, struggling to break through Lin Moyu’s defense. But he was no longer at his peak, and after a few seconds of struggle, the torrent finally dissipated. The Lord of Time’s true body shattered and vanished like a bubble everything disappeared without a trace. Then, the Spirit of Time said, "He’s not dead. His true spirit survived and escaped time." Lin Moyu understood what the Spirit of Time meant. The Lord of Time seemed dead but actually wasn’t. He preserved his true spirit and escaped into another dimension of time. That final torrent wasn’t just to drag Lin Moyu down with him, but also to use the chaos to enter another timeline. The past has countless layers he could flee to any of them, and once hidden, he’d be nearly impossible to find. The Spirit of Time searched the river of time, then shook his head. "Can’t find him. He’s blocked the river of time." Now, the Spirit of Time had seized ninety nine percent of the Time Dao, but as long as the Lord of Time lived, that last sliver would be hard to claim. Unless he had power beyond the Dao, he could only follow the rules of the Dao. As long as the Lord of Time wasn’t truly dead, he might return someday. And with him alive, it would be difficult for the Dao to change hands; the Spirit of Time would struggle to become Lord of the Time Dao, let alone ascend to Eternity. The Spirit of Time’s small face was scrunched up, clearly thinking hard. After all that planning, something still went wrong at the last moment. After a while, he still hadn’t come up with a solution and looked to Lin Moyu. "Do you have any ideas?" Lin Moyu replied, "There is a way." The Spirit of Time’s eyes lit up. "Tell me." Lin Moyu said, "But it will cost me dearly." The Spirit of Time understood. "Whatever you ask, just say it. If I can do it, I’ll do my utmost." The Spirit of Time made a promise. Lin Moyu didn’t make any excessive demands. "Good. I hope you’ll keep your word." With that, Lin Moyu took out the Seeking Cause Ring. Though the Lord of Time could escape the Dao and hide in another timeline, he couldn’t escape causality. Not every Eternal is like the Lord of Curses, who had soul fragments prepared in advance. Seeking cause, seeking effect. Lin Moyu activated the Seeking Cause Ring to use causality to find the Lord of Time’s whereabouts. The backlash from the ring surged into his body, and with a bang, Lin Moyu’s body shattered. The powerful causality backlash nearly tore him apart. In the past, he’d have had to die once, but now that he had become Eternal, he survived the backlash. Lin Moyu smiled wryly, "Might as well have died." With that, he abandoned his broken body and soul and simply killed himself. Repairing body and soul would waste more power than being reborn. He’d long since gotten used to dying death meant nothing to him. Bathed in purple light, Lin Moyu was reborn. At the same time, the Seeking Cause Ring projected a faint light, tearing open space and connecting to an unknown place. A rift appeared in the void, and on the other side was a small, independent world. "So this is the Lord of Time’s escape route." As an Eternal, how could he not have a backup plan? The Lord of Time had clearly prepared one. The Spirit of Time said quietly, "So that’s where it is." Lin Moyu asked, "Do you know what that place is?" The Spirit of Time replied, "It’s a small world that hasn’t fully formed. He exiled it into the flow of time, so it can’t truly develop. I didn’t know why he did that before, but now I see it was his backup plan. If he fell, he could reincarnate there."
