Chapter 4823: Just One Step Away
Again and again, Lin Moyu activated the rune and teleported, heading toward the Word God Heaven and Earth.
Going to the God Servant Hall had taken an unknown number of years, but coming back would take only one.
He said nothing along the way and focused all his attention on sensing the rune.
Whenever it activated, he could feel the power of Yin and Yang, void and reality fused together.
He was extremely keen toward runes.
In this talent, no one could surpass him.
Just during the return, Lin Moyu had already gained many insights and a solid grasp of its principles in his heart.
He felt himself drawing ever closer to the final destination of the Dao of formations.
Only when he again saw the remnants of heavens and earth did he slow down.
This place was already outside the range of the God Servant Hall, where the Hall Spirit could no longer watch him.
"Come out."
Lin Moyu transmitted his voice to the Primal Chaos Gem.
The gem manifested into human form and shouted loudly, "I can finally come out.
"It was suffocating me."
Lin Moyu asked, "Tell me what did you feel back then?"
The Primal Chaos Gem tilted its head and thought.
"At first, I only felt some kind of power suppressing me.
"I could not manifest or speak, and then that power grew stronger and I fell asleep.
"After that, I do not know why, but I suddenly woke up again.
"Even then, I still could not manifest until just now."
His perception was vague, and he could not describe it clearly.
Lin Moyu knew that the power suppressing the Primal Chaos Gem should have come from the God Servant Hall.
It was not the Hall Spirit's personal power, but a power belonging to the Hall itself.
The God Servant Hall should be an extremely powerful treasure, even stronger than a Primal Chaos Supreme Treasure, so it was reasonable that it could suppress the Calamity Scepter.
Lin Moyu asked, "Have you ever heard of the God Servant Hall?"
The Primal Chaos Gem shook its head.
"Never heard of it.
"But I do have a strange feeling."
"What feeling?"
Thinking as it spoke, the gem said, "When I first woke up, I felt as if that place was a little familiar.
"It was like I had been there before."
When the Primal Chaos Gem first woke up, Lin Moyu had still been within the range of the God Servant Hall, with its formless power filling the void.
What the gem sensed should have been the Hall's power.
Lin Moyu asked, "Any other sensations?"
The Primal Chaos Gem said, "Another thing I felt that the power suppressing me before was something I could actually resist."
A feeling might be inaccurate, but it also might not be.
If the gem felt that way, there had to be a reason.
Lin Moyu said, "You mentioned before that you seemed to have a missing segment of memory.
"I suspect that it is not just your memory that is missing."
The gem asked in puzzlement, "If not just memory, then what else?"
Lin Moyu said, "Your strength as well.
"And your memory is not exactly missing, but sealed together with your power.
"Think about it.
"Other than you, the four gems each have their own function.
"What is your function?"
The Primal Chaos Gem froze.
It had never considered such a question before.
The four gems of Soul, Balance, Elements, and Realm each had their own use, while aside from commanding them, it did not seem to serve much purpose at all.
Even the Calamity Scepter itself could be used to smash enemies, while it, the gem, did not seem to be able to do even that.
Looking back seriously, it really did not seem very useful.
Its small face wrinkled bitterly.
"Master, please do not say it like that."
Lin Moyu chuckled.
"You are definitely useful.
"It is just that your function has been sealed away along with your memories."
The Primal Chaos Gem gave a little yelp.
"That…does make sense."
Lin Moyu said, "In my eyes, your level should be higher than that of a Primal Chaos Supreme Treasure.
"But the power you can display right now is actually slightly weaker than a Primal Chaos Supreme Treasure."
The gem called out, "Then does Master have a way to undo my seal?"
Lin Moyu shook his head.
"Not at the moment.
"I have not even seen the seal itself how could I break it?
"Wait.
"There will be a chance in the future."
The gem's face drooped again.
"All right…
"I guess I can only wait."
Lin Moyu felt that the Calamity Scepter was anything but simple.
It was stronger than both the Living Beings' Chess and the Purple Gold Thunder Pagoda, and even among Primal Chaos Supreme Treasures it would rank at the very top.
"Let us go back first."
Activating the rune again, Lin Moyu continued on toward the Word God Heaven and Earth.
His connection to it grew stronger and stronger, and roughly a year after setting out, he finally returned.
At this moment, compared to when he had departed, the Word God Heaven and Earth had completely changed.
The entire heaven and earth was now several times larger and its power incredibly strong, clearly already at the peak of a Nine Cycle Heaven and Earth and just one step away from a Primal Chaos Heaven and Earth.
Outside the heaven and earth, the giant roots of the Primal Chaos Spirit Tree coiled around, firmly protecting the world within.
The arrays he had previously placed outside the heaven and earth were already close to being unable to contain it.
Little Tree sensed Lin Moyu's aura.
"Master, you have finally returned!"
Lin Moyu asked, "How long was I gone?"
Little Tree said, "Not too long around eight thousand years…"
Eight thousand years truly was not that long, but it was beyond his expectations that in just eight thousand years, the Word God Heaven and Earth had changed so much.
He looked into the distance, his gaze spanning billions of miles, and saw Lin Mohan's Primal Chaos Heaven and Earth.
That heaven and earth was still in the process of evolving.
Judging by its scale, it still had not broken out of its early form, so eight thousand years or so was reasonable.
The question was why the Word God Heaven and Earth itself had advanced so rapidly in that same time.
Lin Moyu asked, "What happened in these eight thousand years?
"Why has the Word God Heaven and Earth changed so much?"
Little Tree said, "Nothing special.
"I just drew in enough heaven and earth remnants and started absorbing the power within them.
"From then on, the growth of the Word God Heaven and Earth sped up more and more.
"Later, the number of remnants I drew in kept increasing, and the development of the Word God Heaven and Earth got faster and faster.
"I feel that in a few thousand more years, the tenth batch of living beings in the Word God Heaven and Earth will be born."
Lin Moyu understood what had happened.
The foundation of the Word God Heaven and Earth was extremely solid, and from its birth it had always been in a state of adjustment and growth.
Other heavens and earth needed hundreds of millions of years to evolve and strengthen, but how long had the Word God Heaven and Earth been around in total?
The eight thousand years while he was away actually made up the majority of its entire existence.
Lin Moyu asked, "How are Little Peng and Chaos Child?"
Little Tree replied, "They are still gestating.
"After I altered their foundations, they became like the first batch of living beings, with their gestation extremely slow.
"They will likely be born together with that first batch.
"But they should be stronger than those fellows, since their roots are different."
Lin Moyu nodded.
"You have worked hard these years."
Little Tree said, "It is not hard.
"I feel the Word God Heaven and Earth is about to evolve.
"However, these heaven and earth remnants are not quite enough.
"If only they were complete heavens and earth instead of remnants."
If they were complete heavens and earth, even the weakest of them would provide far more world force than remnants.
World force was the key to evolving a Nine Cycle Heaven and Earth into a Primal Chaos Heaven and Earth; enough of it was required.
Lin Moyu said, "Leave this matter to me."
He created a clone, handed it the Primal Chaos Spirit Tree seed, and sent it to Lin Mohan, then left another clone to continue studying the rune.
His true body returned to the Word God Heaven and Earth to accompany his wives.
After eight thousand years apart, he missed them deeply and was determined to spend proper time with them.
