Chapter 3801: Past Events
The world shifted, and Lin Moyu suddenly found himself in a new realm a world constructed from the residual soul's memories.
Mist boiled around him, and World Tree stood towering in the void, its tendrils stretching across the entirety of the Great Spirit Domain.
Above World Tree, a figure cloaked in radiant light hovered in the void.
Though not physically large, this figure exuded an aura that made him seem even grander than World Tree itself.
"World Tree Emperor!"
Upon seeing this figure, Lin Moyu immediately recognized his identity.
However, this World Tree Emperor seemed different from the one Lin Moyu had encountered previously.
World Tree Emperor's voice boomed powerfully: "Human Sovereign, is what you say true?"
The void trembled as his voice echoed into the distance.
There, another figure stood in the void Human Sovereign radiating an equally overwhelming aura that distorted space itself.
Human Sovereign was no weaker than World Tree Emperor; they appeared to be equals in strength.
Human Sovereign spoke slowly: "I have no reason to deceive you. Enter Beast Abyss, reach its deepest depths, and break through reincarnation you will have a chance to attain enlightenment."
World Tree Emperor remained silent, seemingly contemplating the truth of Human Sovereign's words.
Human Sovereign continued: "I've already ventured there once I'm only one step away. That's why I've come to seek your help."
"If we join forces combining reality and illusion we can break through the final barrier and truly attain enlightenment!"
"Enlightenment!"
The word carried an irresistible allure. Although Lin Moyu couldn't discern World Tree Emperor's expression, he could sense his hesitation and interest.
The scene shifted abruptly Beast Abyss appeared before him.
World Tree Emperor and Human Sovereign stood above Beast Abyss together.
Human Sovereign spoke softly: "I'll go first I'll wait for you inside Beast Abyss."
With that, Human Sovereign dove into Beast Abyss.
After a brief moment of hesitation, World Tree Emperor followed suit entering Beast Abyss as well.
Notably, World Tree itself didn't accompany him as an innate primordial treasure it couldn't enter Beast Abyss.
Shortly after World Tree Emperor entered Human Sovereign's figure suddenly reappeared above Beast Abyss.
Lin Moyu frowned deeply: "Human Sovereign clearly went inside how is he appearing here again?"
Unable to pinpoint the issue Lin Moyu observed that this version of Human Sovereign was identical to the one who had entered Beast Abyss earlier.
This new Human Sovereign threw out an array disk which activated and enveloped Beast Abyss in a massive net.
Moments later a third Human Sovereign appeared again identical to the others.
This version of Human Sovereign reached out and shattered space grabbing hold of World Tree itself.
A surge of immense power erupted as Human Sovereign began refining World Tree.
This scene left Lin Moyu utterly shocked.
Suddenly it dawned on him how Human Sovereign was accomplishing this.
Using the Three Lives Secret Method alongside the Heaven-Covering Stone Human Sovereign had created an avatar to deceive World Tree Emperor.
Then with another avatar he began refining World Tree itself.
Refining World Tree a primordial treasure was no simple task.
Moreover with World Tree Emperor still alive the difficulty was astronomical.
If anyone attempted to refine World Tree World Tree Emperor would undoubtedly sense it and emerge from Beast Abyss to intervene.
No avatar even one created by Heaven-Covering Stone could stop World Tree Emperor upon his return.
As expected it wasn't long before furious roars erupted from Beast Abyss and World Tree Emperor emerged once more.
Human Sovereign's true body sneered coldly: "You cannot return the real world is your destination!"
The array surrounding Beast Abyss forcibly blocked World Tree Emperor's path and Lin Moyu noted that this array was extraordinarily powerful even capable of restraining someone like World Tree Emperor.
"Did Human Sovereign enter that gate and obtain its secrets?" Lin Moyu speculated silently.
World Tree Emperor repeatedly attacked the array but failed to break through immediately.
Meanwhile Human Sovereign performed countless hand seals activating secret techniques within Beast Abyss itself.
Suddenly a massive beast emerged from within Beast Abyss.
World Tree Emperor roared furiously: "Great Dao Beast Emperor! Human Sovereign you're collaborating with Great Dao Beast Emperor!"
Human Sovereign chuckled lightly: "Just a minor partnership I wish you well."
World Tree Emperor engaged Great Dao Beast Emperor in battle and both were forced deeper into Beast Abyss disappearing from view.
Meanwhile the avatar continued refining World Tree and eventually succeeded.
A new World Tree Emperor emerged.
The memory ended abruptly as the scene shattered into fragments.
Lin Moyu's expression turned complex: "So Human Sovereign and World Tree Emperor are actually the same person?"
"No wonder their relationship seemed so close they're literally the same individual."
This memory revealed events long forgotten even within World Tree Great Spirit Domain itself the truth about their emperor's replacement remained unknown.
Today the entire domain operated under Human Sovereign's control which explained why no one opposed his actions.
From establishing trading markets to promoting soul pearls all served his ultimate purpose.
Lin Moyu realized that this purpose revolved around enlightenment the same goal that had deceived World Tree Emperor initially.
But what kind of enlightenment were they pursuing?
Compared to Human Sovereign's schemes Lin Moyu's struggle against Origin Continent's world will felt like child's play.
Still Lin Moyu knew he was growing stronger and one day he would understand what path Human Sovereign sought.
If their paths conflicted they might even face each other in battle someday.
Chuckling self-deprecatingly Lin Moyu dismissed these thoughts as premature.
He hadn't even overcome Origin Continent yet thinking too far ahead was pointless.
Turning his attention back to Lingering Flowers he saw three elemental liches curled up inside them their injuries mostly healed but they remained unconscious.
Once these flowers were spent Lin Moyu prepared three more to continue their recovery.
Releasing Little Python once more they resumed their journey toward Golden Furnace Great Spirit Domain.
Curious as always Little Python asked cautiously: "Master what happened earlier?"
Lin Moyu shook his head: "It's better if you don't know it won't benefit you and might even bring disaster upon you."
"Of course if you really want to hear it I can tell you."
Terrified by this prospect Little Python quickly replied: "Please don't tell me!"
Its fear of death outweighed its curiosity it clearly didn't want to know.
Days later a figure arrived at the battlefield where Lin Moyu had fought the residual soul.
It was one of Wood Slaughter Realm Master's allies the first among nine realm masters in their group.
Surveying the area the realm master muttered: "A fierce battle occurred here the combatants were exceptionally strong."
Producing a mirror the realm master illuminated his surroundings with it as scenes from earlier events replayed within its reflection.
Lin Moyu's figure appeared briefly but much of the battle remained obscured due to tribulation interference.
When heaven's wrath descended the mirror emitted a crisp sound and cracks spread across its surface.
The realm master frowned deeply: "Heaven's wrath? How could tribulation lightning appear here?"
"Heaven's wrath erased time traces I can't uncover what happened."
"This individual is clearly extraordinary I must capture him for questioning!"
Sweeping his gaze across Soul Void the realm master followed Lin Moyu's lingering aura and pursued swiftly.
