Chapter 4144: The Strict Hierarchy of the Chaos World
The Great Sovereign Stele recorded a wealth of information sometimes even conversations between the Spirit Demon Emperors would be inscribed here. The Stele documented not only local events, but also happenings elsewhere. However, when Lin Moyu tried to access some of this information, he was blocked and could not view it. Even so, just the conversations among the Spirit Demon Emperors provided Lin Moyu with enough to digest and analyze, yielding a trove of insights.
Lin Moyu vaguely glimpsed a strictly hierarchical chaos world. Within the chaos, there are countless realms, each a world unto itself. The world he inhabited was called the Five Worlds Domain. Lin Moyu found the name "Five Worlds Domain" a bit odd, though he couldn't pinpoint why.
Within the chaos, many races exist some originating from different realms, others native to the chaos itself. For example, the Spirit Demon Clan has a chief who was a transcendent from another realm. After transcending, he led his entire clan into the chaos, transforming them into a chaos race. The greatest benefit of becoming a chaos race is that they are no longer bound by the constraints of a single realm even if their original realm is destroyed, they will survive. Most importantly, upon entering the chaos, they gradually become "chaotified" their bodies, souls, and powers all adapt, eventually becoming fully suited to the chaos. This process is slow, and during it, the clan chief must use his own strength to protect them; otherwise, the forces of chaos would destroy them in an instant.
Lin Moyu, having had contact with chaos, knew how deadly it was to beings from the realms. Even an Eternal would not survive long in chaos if they didn't return quickly, they would perish, even without encountering an enemy. Thus, the Spirit Demon Clan is deeply grateful and loyal to their chief.
Within the chaos, there exist mighty beings called the Great Sovereigns of Heaven and Earth. Like kings, these Great Sovereigns can command the chaos beings to do various things though one could refuse, if they could withstand the wrath of a Great Sovereign. The Spirit Demon Clan's chief received an order from a Great Sovereign to come guard the Five Worlds Domain. The specific task was to suppress the Dao Wild Beasts and prevent them from destroying the world. There was no time limit for this duty no one knew when it would end. Due to realm restrictions, the strongest members of the Spirit Demon Clan could not enter.
At first, the Spirit Demon Clan thought to simply exterminate all the Dao Wild Beasts quick and efficient. In the beginning, they did just that, beating the Dao Wild Beasts into submission. But over time, their perspective changed. They discovered that the Dao power in the Five Worlds Domain was extremely potent. If they could collect Dao essence and deliver it to their chief, he could use it, combined with chaos power, to cultivate and possibly ascend to the rank of Great Sovereign. In their eyes, their chief had done so much for them saving them from destruction when their realm was collapsing, leading them through countless hardships, and protecting them for ages until they fully adapted to chaos. This had damaged his foundation, and he needed Dao essence to repair it.
They also harbored ambitions: if their chief could become a Great Sovereign, they would become a supreme race, protected by a Great Sovereign and beyond the reach of any who would harm them.
Lin Moyu deduced not only the changes within the Spirit Demon Clan over the years, but also the structure of the chaos world: a world of strict hierarchy, with the Great Sovereigns at the top, and chaos races and beings as their playthings. He speculated that the green robed elder and the white robed elder who gave him the Essence of Ancestral Water were both Great Sovereigns. The ghost husband imprisoned by the green robed elder was a powerful transcendent. In the chaos world, there are source birds; the ghost husband once said that supreme beings captured source birds to refine their blood. These "supreme beings" likely include both powerful transcendents and the Great Sovereigns. The Spirit Demon Emperors had discussed that there were not many Great Sovereigns, while the ghost husband spoke of many supreme beings so the latter must include both Great Sovereigns and top transcendents. Perhaps those top transcendents, if they obtained the source bird's blood and origin arts, could rival the Great Sovereigns.
Past memories and current knowledge merged, making many things clearer and more complete. Lin Moyu gained much from this, realizing that what he needed most was not cultivation, but a comprehensive understanding of heaven and earth. He always believed that understanding the essence of the world was more important than cultivation itself.
Only by comprehending the true nature of the world could one go further in the future.
Unfortunately, he did not learn the method to become the master of heaven and earth. He was certain it was possible, as the Spirit Demon Emperors had mentioned a realm master before, and from their tone, the realm master's status was not inferior to a Great Sovereign. In the chaos, status is determined solely by strength, so the realm master must be extremely powerful perhaps a bit weaker than a Great Sovereign, but not by much. If others could become realm masters, then so could he. The method, however, he would have to find himself no outsider could help.
Standing at the altar, Lin Moyu felt this harvest was greater than even becoming an Eternal.
Suddenly, formless fortune from heaven and earth descended another filth pool had been purified, and the fortune that the Soulless Beast could not absorb fell to Lin Moyu. As the fortune descended, the Dao essence in the altar's pool was stirred, boiling and rising as mist, merging with the fortune and flowing into Lin Moyu's body.
"Heavenly fortune can trigger Dao essence," he realized. He had tried before to draw out Dao essence, since it was a treasure of the Five Worlds Domain, and the Spirit Demon Clan had been stealing it for years. But he had never succeeded he hadn't expected heavenly fortune to have this effect.
Inspired, Lin Moyu directed the Dao essence toward the Great Thousand World. The fortune, mixed with Dao essence, poured into the Great Thousand World, accelerating its evolution. As the world evolved faster, Lin Moyu's power, previously limited by the world, grew stronger. He felt himself drawing ever closer to eternity.
The Dao essence in the altar's pool dwindled rapidly. Condensing Dao essence was not easy it took many years, and the Spirit Demon Clan had always been cautious to avoid detection, making the process even slower. This entire pool was the fruit of countless years, and now Lin Moyu benefited from it.
The Great Thousand World's evolution sped up, and as the altar's pool was nearly depleted, the world shook as if stepping onto a new level. Lin Moyu's soul and body trembled as he saw a great door the Gate of Eternity appear before him.
