Chapter 4139: The Origin of Heaven and Earth, Studying Divine Runes

This natural formation not only absorbed power from the Dao Cloud, but also served as a gateway. Ordinary means could not locate the formation cluster only by opening the portal through this formation could one glimpse the whole picture.

Lin Moyu drew a divine rune, embedding a strand of his soul within it, and sent it into the formation. Wisps of power were drawn from the Dao, intangible and formless, entering the formation, swirling into visible dust, and finally dissipating at the formation’s center, destination unknown.

The divine rune Lin Moyu had drawn followed this dust, entering the very core of the formation.

Boom!

It was as if the rune passed through a portal, and with a thunderous sound, Lin Moyu finally saw the hidden natural formation cluster.

At that moment, Lin Moyu was truly shocked.

He was rarely shocked, but this time he really was.

Countless natural formations floated in the void, unsupported by anything, yet perfectly intact. At the center of each formation was an incredibly complex divine rune. These runes were not crafted by hand, but had evolved naturally at the dawn of the world they were the ancestors of all divine runes in this world.

Each rune was independent, evolving its own natural grand formation, and these formations together made up the cluster. There were thousands upon thousands of divine runes, and the natural formations they created were just as numerous, forming a massive, nearly flawless formation cluster.

“This is the boundary between reality and illusion the core of heaven and earth.”

“To think the core of the world would be like this.”

“No, this isn’t all…”

When he truly saw the essence of the formation cluster, his excitement reached its peak. He thought he had seen it all, but realized he’d only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg. The scale of the formation cluster far exceeded what he’d seen there were not just thousands upon thousands of runes, but far more. As he pushed his soul power to the limit, he saw even farther.

There, too, were clusters of formations not just groups, but clusters of clusters, forming even larger and more complex collectives. In just a few seconds, his soul power was exhausted, but he caught a rough outline of the formation collectives.

Without hesitation, Lin Moyu drew another divine rune, split off more of his soul, and entered that space again. This time, his soul was stronger and more numerous like someone who had searched for answers for years and suddenly saw them before his eyes, his excitement and urgency were beyond description.

That space could only be seen by sending one’s soul through the formation; it was invisible and untouchable by normal means.

Entering again with a stronger soul, Lin Moyu saw even more clearly and further. The formation collectives, countless formations running in space, sometimes overlapping or colliding, but never damaging each other. The essence of each formation was the divine rune so long as the rune remained intact, even if the formation was smashed, it would instantly re form.

“Formations are the outward manifestation of divine runes; the rune is the core.”

“These runes are extraordinary not ordinary divine runes, and not the same as what I’ve learned.”

When Lin Moyu focused on a rune, his soul was instantly depleted and vanished.

Without hesitation, he continued, drawing runes and sending his soul in again a second, a third time, and so on. If once wasn’t enough, then twice, thrice, a hundred, a thousand times he couldn’t let this opportunity slip by.

But reality was harsh. On his fourth attempt, the formation suddenly vanished without warning, leaving no trace.

“It’s gone.”

Lin Moyu examined the spot where the formation had disappeared nothing remained. He summoned a Space Dao demon to investigate, but found nothing. He projected the Great Thousand World, using its projection to probe the space, but again found nothing. It was as if the formation had never existed, and what he’d seen was a hallucination.

But Lin Moyu knew it was no illusion he had glimpsed the greatest secret of heaven and earth. That was the true core of the world. If he could master the divine runes and formations within, he might become the Lord of Heaven and Earth.

“If I’m not mistaken, that space exists between reality and illusion. As far as I know, the only thing that connects reality and illusion is the Beast Abyss. So perhaps, from the Beast Abyss, one could reach that place.”

“This is one of the oldest regions of the world, the most ancient space, untouched by outside forces, so sometimes it connects with the boundary between reality and illusion. That formation must have broken through by chance and appeared here for me to see. If there’s one, there must be more.”

But it was too early to go to the Beast Abyss he’d only consider it after reaching Eternity. Until then, this might be the only place to access the world’s core.

So Lin Moyu wandered the area, searching for more formations. Perhaps, by chance, he’d find another that had broken through the spatial barrier.

His efforts paid off. After a month of searching, he found another natural formation.

This formation was much like the one he’d seen a month before. Using the same method embedding his soul in a divine rune he entered the formation and once again arrived at the world’s core, seeing countless grand formations.

Lin Moyu wasted no time, studying the runes as quickly as possible. This time, luck was on his side: he entered ten times before the formation vanished. Though each time lasted only a few seconds, he managed to learn something.

He named the runes in the world’s core “Innate Divine Runes.”

Innate Divine Runes form the foundation of this world they are a level higher than the Great Daos. Their existence allows the world to keep evolving. Without them, the world would have collapsed long ago.

The world’s divine runes support the world; the Great Daos determine its operation. The divine runes are higher, but the two are interdependent. Without the Great Daos, the world would fall into chaos and eventually collapse. Without the divine runes, the world would not become chaotic it would collapse outright.

The wild beasts seek to devour the Daos to destroy the world. If the world has no master, this would work. But if there is a Lord of Heaven and Earth, even if all the Daos are shattered, the Lord can use the divine runes to stabilize the world and re evolve the Daos.

When the formation vanished again, Lin Moyu stood still for a long time before opening his eyes. “It seems that just doing this, I can only scratch the surface. To truly master these runes, I must enter that space myself. Once I reach Eternity, I must visit the Beast Abyss.”
