Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 3339: Then Why Did You Stay Behind?

Water Stop Celestial Venerable had lived for too long, from prehistoric times until now, experiencing the Origin Catastrophe in its entirety.

He knew many things, no less than the King of the Boundary Sea.

According to him, when the catastrophe descended, countless powerful experts on the Origin Continent formed great armies, led by Great Dao realm powerhouses to battle against the enemy.

The enemies were numerous, coming from different worlds, engaging in great battles with cultivators from the Origin Continent in different regions.

At that time, the Origin Continent was divided into nine continents and one sea, with different continents facing armies from different worlds.

The Sea Race in the Boundary Sea also faced an enemy force.

In addition, above the Great Daos beyond, they had to deal with the Outer Realm Divine Gods and the Black Blood Great Realm.

In other words, there were as many as twelve worlds simultaneously attacking the Origin Continent.

Under these circumstances, the Origin Continent still didn’t lose. Although the damage was severe, with five of the nine continents sinking, countless Great Dao realm beings perishing, and several Great Daos being suppressed into dormancy, the Origin Continent still persevered to the end, proving how strong it was.

In fact, the Origin Continent’s armies even launched a counterattack.

They not only defeated the invading forces but also fought back to the enemy’s homelands.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth – the cultivators from the Origin Continent weren’t just passively taking hits.

This great war lasted many years. Some people achieved the Dao during the war, reaching the Great Dao realm.

It was precisely these Great Dao realm beings and countless powerful experts, sacrificing themselves one after another, that allowed the Origin Continent to stand until the end.

But after that battle, heaven and earth were severely damaged. The Origin Continent began to hibernate, and the connection between heaven and earth was severed.

Great Dao realm beings could no longer stay on the Origin Continent and had to return to the world of the Great Daos beyond.

After listening, Lin Moyu had a rough guess in his heart and couldn’t help asking, “If Great Dao realm beings aren’t allowed to stay on the Origin Continent, why can the King of the Boundary Sea stay here?”

Water Stop Celestial Venerable said, “They can stay here because they achieved the Dao during the great war and have a special relationship with the Origin Continent. There are very few such people, and they’ve paid a considerable price to be able to stay on the Origin Continent.”

Lin Moyu had a thoughtful look, “Why did they want to stay behind?”

Water Stop Celestial Venerable chuckled, “Staying behind, naturally there’s a purpose. They’re waiting for a great change, an opportunity, a chance to ascend in broad daylight, to advance a thousand miles in a single step.”

Water Stop Celestial Venerable’s voice grew lower and lower, “And their ability to stay behind isn’t something they could achieve on their own. You understand, right?”

Lin Moyu suddenly understood somewhat. The Three Ancestors and others achieved the Dao during the catastrophe, and it was for this reason that they could stay behind, and they also paid a great price.

Their foundations were shallow, without deep accumulation in the Great Dao realm. That price might not necessarily be something they could pay.

So who paid the price?

Naturally, it was the people behind them.

Like the Whale Being he had rescued, it should be a member of the force behind the King of the Boundary Sea.

If a dramatic change occurred in heaven and earth, presenting an opportunity to advance a thousand miles in a day, not only would they benefit, but the forces behind them would likely benefit as well.

So when he forced Withering and Flourishing Elder away, he might have offended not just Withering and Flourishing Elder, but also the forces behind him.

Lin Moyu had a headache. He hadn’t even reached the Great Dao realm yet, and he had already offended a force from the Great Daos beyond.

He hadn’t even gone to the Soul Void, and he had already offended a big shot there.

He might not have other talents, but his talent for causing trouble was truly not small.

What Water Stop Celestial Venerable said almost completely matched what Lin Moyu knew before, without much discrepancy.

The picture of the Origin Catastrophe in Lin Moyu’s mind became increasingly clear and complete.

It also made Lin Moyu more certain that behind the Divine Realm and the Black Blood Great Realm, there must be a mastermind who shattered hell.

Lin Moyu looked at Water Stop Celestial Venerable and asked word by word, “Then why did you stay behind?”

Silently, an invisible force enveloped him and Water Stop Celestial Venerable. Even Little Mei beside them couldn’t hear their conversation.

Water Stop Celestial Venerable slowly narrowed his eyes, “You little brat, why are you asking this?”

Lin Moyu said, “Although I’m not 100% certain, I’m at least 80% sure. You don’t need to hide it anymore. Let’s just talk privately, I promise not to tell anyone.”

Water Stop Celestial Venerable chuckled, “What do you think this old turtle stayed behind for?”

Lin Moyu said, “That’s what I’m asking you. The opportunity in that great change? Is it what you called advancing a thousand miles in a day, ascending in broad daylight? I feel that what you’re seeking isn’t that simple.”

Water Stop Celestial Venerable said, “Some things this old turtle still can’t conveniently say, but rest assured, this old turtle staying here only benefits the Origin Continent, with no drawbacks.”

“Alright, alright, since you’re so eager to know, I’ll reveal a bit more to you. This is something many Great Dao realm beings don’t even know.”

Lin Moyu immediately pricked up his ears. He was indeed very interested in things even Great Dao realm beings didn’t know.

Water Stop Celestial Venerable said, “Back then, the Origin Continent wasn’t fighting alone. The Origin Continent also had helpers.”

“Guess why the Buddhist Race’s heritage could remain here?”

“Why can the Insect Race multiply on the Origin Continent?”

Lin Moyu narrowed his eyes slightly, “Are you saying the Buddhist Race and Insect Race were the Origin Continent’s helpers?”

Water Stop Celestial Venerable nodded, “That’s right. Many Great Dao realm beings don’t know this. They only know these two races have great karma and can’t be touched.”

Lin Moyu completely understood. The true root cause was actually here.

If the two races had stood on the Origin Continent’s side during the Origin Catastrophe, they indeed would have generated enormous karma with the Origin Continent’s Great Dao, making it difficult to touch them.

Water Stop Celestial Venerable continued, “So with these two races, if you can avoid entangling with them, don’t entangle with them. The Dao of karma is too complex, with both good and bad. If you can’t sort it out clearly, sooner or later you’ll be trapped in it, unable to extricate yourself.”

Lin Moyu nodded, “Then do you know when the great change in heaven and earth will come?”

Water Stop Celestial Venerable shook his big head, “That’s hard to say. It could be tomorrow, or it could be several million years from now. You might not even see it in your lifetime.”

“The great change needs an opportunity. When the opportunity appears, it means the time has come.”

“Although we don’t know the exact time, there will always be some signs before the great change comes.”

Lin Moyu asked, “A while ago, I was in the Western Continent. A genius appeared in the Buddhist Race who comprehended the Three Lives Secret Technique and achieved pseudo-Great Dao realm.”

“An insect queen in the Insect Race also evolved a fourth form. Do these count as signs?”

Water Stop Celestial Venerable thought for a moment, “They could be considered as such. Before the great change comes, powerful geniuses always emerge. This is due to changes in the world’s destiny.”

“But such signs are still not enough. The closer the great change, the more obvious various anomalies will become.”

“Alright, we’ve talked so much, this old turtle is tired of talking. Do you have any more questions? If not, this old turtle wants to drink some wine and then sleep for a while.”

Lin Moyu still had many questions in his heart, but seeing Water Stop Celestial Venerable’s manner, he clearly didn’t want to say more.

Indeed, he had already said quite a lot today. Many things he said shouldn’t have been told to Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu thick-skinedly said, “Don’t sleep yet, let me ask a few more questions. Do you know about the Dragon Race’s Crown Prince? A while ago, he went to the Buddhist Race and knocked the Three Lives Buddha Lord down from pseudo-Great Dao realm.”
