Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 3695: He Won’t Tolerate Me

Lin Moyu had largely understood the events before and after the Origin Continent’s catastrophe. Among these, he discovered a peculiar point—the World’s Child.

The World’s Child gathered more than half of the Origin Continent’s luck, but during the catastrophe, the World’s Child was sacrificed, and it was a deliberate act.

The World’s Child’s fate shouldn’t have been this way. With the accumulated luck of the Origin Continent, they should have stood at the pinnacle of the world.

Even with the catastrophe, they shouldn’t have been sacrificed.

It was like in the great world, where during the most dangerous times, someone like Xiao Zhan Tian, who gathered the luck of the human race, emerged to save the world. This, in Lin Moyu’s view, was the correct choice.

However, sacrificing the World’s Child and returning their luck to the world was a decision Lin Moyu couldn’t understand.

Ouyang Wentian, with a thoughtful expression, recalled the distant past: “As for the World’s Child, I don’t know much, but I’ll share what I do know.”

“Legend has it that when the World’s Child was born, all the Great Daos resonated, and every Dao Lord simultaneously learned of their identity.”

“They were born of the world’s will, possessing sixty percent of the Origin Continent’s luck.”

“Dao Lords weren’t qualified to take them as disciples, but they were taught by heavenly teachings.”

“From a young age, they mastered various secret techniques and received endless favor; no one dared to harm them.”

“Their cultivation was smooth, without bottlenecks, and they broke through to the Great Dao realm in just ten thousand years, unprecedented in history.”

Ouyang Wentian paused.

Indeed, they were unprecedented, but saying there was no one after them was no longer true. Lin Moyu, who had lived for only a few thousand years, was already at the second-tier soul Great Dao realm, surpassing the World’s Child in many ways.

Ouyang Wentian coughed lightly and continued: “After reaching the Great Dao realm, their cultivation speed slowed but was still much faster than others.”

“Later, during the Origin Continent’s catastrophe, the World’s Child was at the sixth-tier soul.”

“The sixth-tier soul was somewhat useful during the catastrophe, but not much. However, they possessed sixty percent of the Origin Continent’s luck, so they were sacrificed, and their luck returned to the heavens.”

Lin Moyu asked: “Was he truly sacrificed?”

Ouyang Wentian replied: “It seems so, but I’m not entirely clear. Perhaps the Third Ancestor knows more.”

Just then, the Third Ancestor’s voice came from the side: “You’re saying that I might know more?”

The Skeleton God General had led the Third Ancestor there, and he had overheard some of the conversation.

Upon seeing Lin Moyu, the Third Ancestor exclaimed: “Lin young one, you’ve reached the second-tier soul?”

Lin Moyu chuckled: “It’s nothing surprising.”

The Third Ancestor snorted: “Indeed, nothing that happens to you is surprising anymore.”

Lin Moyu said: “We were just discussing the World’s Child. You arrived at the right time.”

The Third Ancestor frowned slightly: “What’s there to discuss about the World’s Child?”

Lin Moyu asked: “Question Heaven Dao Lord said the World’s Child was sacrificed. Was it forced?”

The Third Ancestor replied: “Does it matter? The Great Daos needed to reclaim their luck, and he couldn’t do anything about it.”

Lin Moyu said: “Couldn’t he have quickly risen to the pinnacle of the Great Daos, leading all the Dao Lords to change the course of events? If the Great Daos were willing, it should have been possible.”

The Third Ancestor shook his head: “Perhaps it could have been done, but the Fate Great Dao was destroyed during the catastrophe, and the World’s Child was destined not to reach the highest peak. They primarily cultivated the Fate Great Dao.”

Lin Moyu’s heart trembled; the World’s Child cultivated the Fate Great Dao, which was the first Great Dao to be shattered during the catastrophe.

From then on, the World’s Child lost the possibility of becoming a Dao Lord and was ultimately sacrificed.

“Fate Great Dao… World’s Child…”

Lin Moyu tried to connect the two, feeling there should be a relationship between them.

He had interacted with the Origin Continent’s Heavenly Mandate Great Dao many times and had glimpsed some clues.

Intelligence.

The world will of the Origin Continent, or its Great Daos themselves, seemed to have been born with intelligence. Normally, world wills only had instincts and shouldn’t have intelligence.

The world should operate within predetermined rules, which aren’t easily changed. Once a world will gains intelligence, it can easily alter these rules, making it unpredictable for the entire world.

A sufficiently intelligent world will could lead the world towards greater glory. If it’s selfish, it could lead the world to destruction.

It’s unclear if the Origin Continent has given birth to a world will, but Lin Moyu had a vague feeling.

This can’t be judged unless he directly interacts with the world will.

Lin Moyu could only infer from the World’s Child’s experiences.

The World’s Child’s sacrifice was indeed forced.

Because the Fate Great Dao was shattered, the World’s Child couldn’t reach the pinnacle, so they were sacrificed.

This also indirectly suggests that the world will must have gained intelligence, making choices.

It was precisely this reason that the world will cultivated the World’s Child. If things had developed normally, the World’s Child should have become the Dao Lord of the Fate Great Dao.

They would have become the representative of the world will, not the master of the world but superior to one.

In this way, the Origin Continent couldn’t have a true World Master.

If a World Master appeared, they would have to control the world will. With intelligence, why would the world will willingly be controlled?

As Lin Moyu pondered, the Third Ancestor said: “By the way, back then, the Beast Emperor was close to the World’s Child. When the World’s Child dispersed, the Beast Emperor was by their side.”

Lin Moyu glanced to the side, and as he mentioned the Beast Emperor, the Beast Emperor arrived.

Upon seeing Lin Moyu’s cultivation level, the Beast Emperor let out a sharp cry.

The Third Ancestor said: “Calm down; there’s no need to be so shocked.”

Lin Moyu looked at the Beast Emperor, seeing their true form for the first time.

The Beast Emperor usually shrouded themselves in mist, making it impossible for outsiders to see their true appearance. Sometimes, they only revealed what they wanted others to see.

However, now in the Soul Void, appearing in a soul form, they couldn’t hide their true identity.

The Third Ancestor chuckled: “How do you like it? Didn’t expect them to look like this, did you?”

Lin Moyu said: “It’s reasonable.”

The Beast Emperor was indeed from the demon tribe but wasn’t one of the ten royal families; they were a Heaven-Devouring Mouse.

Not just Lin Moyu was shocked; even Ouyang Wentian was surprised.

In the outer Great Dao, Heaven-Devouring Mice were highly sought after.

Heaven-Devouring Mice were also known as Treasure-Seeking Mice, and many people wanted to obtain one because they had an innate ability to find treasures.

Especially when entering the world mist or exploring strange lands, Heaven-Devouring Mice were incredibly effective.

The Beast Emperor said quietly: “I am the first Heaven-Devouring Mouse in the Origin Continent. Do you have any objections?”

Lin Moyu shook his head: “You should know that Lin Garden has a Heaven-Devouring Mouse.”

The Beast Emperor said: “I know. If not for your kindness towards it, I would have eaten you long ago.”

The Third Ancestor snorted: “You’re all talk. Tell me, when the World’s Child was sacrificed, did they say anything?”

The Beast Emperor thought for a moment: “I think they did say something… It was a long time ago, and I remembered after thinking for a while.”

“They said, ’He won’t tolerate me!’”

I will go with

Cause and effect dao – 因果大道

Undead – 不死大道

Side note: I do prefer “Undead” as it fits the theme, but since more people prefer “Immortality” and it’s a more accurate translation, I’ll stick with “Immortality.
