Chapter 4740: A Tattered Sack of a World Remnant
Thirty‑six leaves on the little tree swayed gently; thirty‑five were emerald green, while one had already turned transparent.
After more than a hundred years, the little tree had finally found another world that met the requirements.
The little tree said, "Master, this world feels almost the same as the last one."
The little tree could not probe the exact level of a world, but it had a rough sense for it.
If it said this one was similar to the Dark Heaven and Earth, then this world was very likely also an Eight‑Cycle Heaven and Earth.
Lin Moyu said, "If it is an Eight‑Cycle Heaven and Earth, then Yushen Heaven and Earth should also be able to smoothly advance to Eight Cycles."
Eight‑Cycle Heaven and Earth was currently his best option; Nine Cycles was too dangerous, while Seven Cycles was slightly lacking.
The little tree said, "Master, there is one more thing to report."
Lin Moyu said, "Since when did you become so hesitant? Just say it."
The little tree said, "While searching for worlds for you, I sensed a region where the remnants of Celestial Emperor‑level worlds are piled up."
"Those world remnants seem to have been heaped together, and I cannot distinguish them in detail. If a spatial passage is constructed, it will link all of those remnants together."
Lin Moyu said, "You are worried that if none of those world remnants is the one I want, the leaves will be wasted, correct?"
The little tree said, "Yes. If none of them is the world remnant you seek, I will have to rebuild all the spatial passages from scratch, which will waste a huge amount of time, and what Master currently lacks most is time."
Lin Moyu thought about it.
"You are right. Time is what I lack the most right now. Let us do this: after I return from this trip, I will see whether Yushen Heaven and Earth can advance."
"If Yushen Heaven and Earth advances, the number of your leaves should increase again, and then you can connect to those worlds."
"I believe by then you will definitely have enough."
The little tree responded with a soft hum. "The little tree obeys."
Lin Moyu said, "There is no need for such formality between us. I know your leaves must carry worlds so that you can draw benefits from them, and these years, for my sake, you have not done that, which has slowed your own growth."
The little tree swayed much faster, seeming somewhat excited. "Master must not say such things. It is my honor to work for Master."
Lin Moyu chuckled softly. "All right, do not get so worked up. Chaos Child and Xiao Peng are almost ready to come out as well, so you will not be so lonely then."
The little tree gave another hum. "They are finally about to return."
Opening a spatial passage, Lin Moyu stepped into it and headed toward that newly discovered world remnant.
"Who knows what kind of world it will be this time."
There was a hint of interest in Lin Moyu's eyes.
Over the past century, even though his realm had not changed, some things about him had.
During these hundred‑plus years, he had traveled the breadth of Chaos, arranging arrays, and his comprehension of array Dao had increased at an astonishing rate.
Every so often, he would gain new insights.
If he were to enter the Silver‑White Heaven and Earth now, he would no longer need the troublesome methods he used before and could simply resolve the problem by directly deploying arrays.
The Hongmeng Gem said, "Master, are you planning to test out arrays this time?"
All of Lin Moyu's progress had been seen by it.
Although the Hongmeng Gem did not understand arrays very deeply, it still had an eye for such things.
Lin Moyu's level in array Dao had surpassed everyone it had ever seen, including the supremes.
The path of array Dao was very peculiar.
Many people trained in arrays, but very few treated arrays as their main focus, using them instead as auxiliary means.
Moreover, arrays required extremely high natural talent.
Most people would hit the limit of their talent in arrays after cultivating to a certain point.
That kind of limit was not like a realm bottleneck that could be broken through with various fortuitous encounters and treasures.
Once this talent limit was reached, it was simply not understanding; there was no way to break through it at all.
Only those who had experienced it would know that feeling: studying for hundreds of millions of years without the slightest progress, a torment that words such as "pain" could not capture.
Precisely because of this, no one made array Dao their main path.
Among the supremes, some were proficient in arrays, but none of them practiced arrays as their primary Dao.
At least among all those the Hongmeng Gem had seen, Lin Moyu's talent in array Dao was the highest, utterly unmatched.
Over this century, Lin Moyu had devoted himself fully to array Dao and had finally taken a critical step.
His level in array Dao had completely transcended the limits of this heaven and earth and reached another tier altogether.
The spatial passage this time was rather long, which meant that the world the little tree had found lay very far from the Primordial Desolation of Chaos.
Arriving at the exit, Lin Moyu did not immediately step out.
Faced with an unknown world, safety came first.
An undying spirit soldier flew out of the spatial passage and entered that world, and in the very next instant, the undying spirit soldier died.
Lin Moyu's brows furrowed slightly.
He had maintained a constant link with the spirit soldier's vision, yet he had not seen how it died.
Most crucially, after its death, the undying spirit soldier did not resurrect in the Spell Dao World.
The inability to resurrect meant that the degree of danger in this world already exceeded that of any world he had previously visited.
"Take another look."
For the second attempt, he sent in more than a thousand undying spirit soldiers.
Lin Moyu split his attention a thousand ways, connecting his consciousness to each of them simultaneously.
In an instant, countless images rushed in as the undying spirit soldiers died one after another.
In less than three breaths, all thousand had perished.
At last, Lin Moyu managed to see a few things, and what he saw was somewhat bizarre, unlike anything he had ever encountered.
With a light tap of his finger, a scene appeared before him.
"Take a look at this. What is going on here?"
It did not matter if he did not understand it himself; he could have the Hongmeng Gem examine it and perhaps obtain an answer.
In the scene, the world appeared to be riddled with countless broken gaps, and invisible forces were pouring in through those gaps.
It was precisely those forces that had slain the undying spirit soldiers.
Lin Moyu's first reaction was that these gaps connected to a Forbidden Zone of Life, yet the forces that killed the undying spirit soldiers did not resemble the annihilation power of a Forbidden Zone of Life.
The Hongmeng Gem studied it for a long while, then shook its head. "No idea. It looks rather strange."
It was definitely strange.
Lin Moyu said, "I will observe some more."
In uncertain circumstances, the only option was to keep watching.
He continued sending undying spirit soldiers inside, one batch after another.
The undying spirit soldiers fell at different moments, so the scenes they saw also differed.
A flood of images poured back to him.
Within the spatial passage, more than a thousand distinct images appeared, presenting the situation in that world.
The interior was filled with gaps, and the entire world remnant resembled a tattered sack with holes everywhere, letting the wind howl through.
Inside, there were no living beings, no vitality, only some things that looked somewhat like mountains and rocks.
Those rocks had already been sliced flat or cut into sharp points by invisible forces, their edges razor‑sharp and glittering with a cold light.
The reason they still existed was that their material was unimaginably tough, far surpassing common artifacts.
The Hongmeng Gem said, "These things are already top‑tier materials. They do not even need refining and can be used directly as weapons, indestructible and unbreakable."
Lin Moyu said, "Tougher than you?"
The Hongmeng Gem shook its head.
"Not to that extent.
Nothing within a heaven and earth can surpass me."
"These things are simply extremely hard in texture. They have fused with the rules of that world and become top‑grade rule‑type materials, suitable for forging artifacts used by supremes, but they still cannot surpass me."
"In this world, there are no rule‑born lifeforms. It collided with another world, and instead of forming a spatial passage, the two worlds slammed into each other, opening countless gaps between them."
"Within those gaps, the powers of both worlds collide, which further worsens the gaps, and at the same time draws in some annihilation force from a Forbidden Zone of Life. The three forces merge and finally produce the situation you see now."
