Chapter 3981: Soul Eater?
Across the entire world, time began to reverse, and the events that had occurred played out before Lin Moyu's eyes.
This was a human world. Just ten thousand years ago, it was flourishing, with countless cultivators and people living in peace. But one day, the world's protective formation fluctuated someone had broken in.
This world clearly had rich combat experience. When faced with a sudden enemy, they didn't panic. Countless experts rushed out, and the Dao Lords attacked the invader. Yet, strangely, in the time reversal, the invader's appearance never appeared. The Time Great Dao seemed unable to record their form; their presence was a blank.
"Not existing within the Great Daos… it really is a Soul Eater."
Soul Eaters are rejected by the world, outside the Great Daos so the Time Great Dao cannot record them.
In the time reversal, the world's experts were suddenly attacked and began to fall one after another. These attacks also left no trace in the reversal Lin Moyu couldn't tell what kind of attacks they suffered. But from their expressions, he saw shock, panic, and disbelief. As fellow humans, Lin Moyu could read their faces clearly. They had witnessed something unimaginable.
By now, Lin Moyu was ninety nine percent certain: it was a Soul Eater.
It was the one that had escaped from behind the gate, the one that had caused the Human Sovereign so much trouble a Soul Eater with intelligence. It had come to this world and destroyed it. It didn't shatter the world, merely killed its people. More than that, it devoured them.
There wasn't a single corpse in the world. Where did the bodies go? Naturally, the Soul Eater consumed them.
Some Dao Lords fought to the death, trying to help others escape. But for some reason, the world's other experts couldn't get out the world itself became a cage. The Dao Lords fought desperately, and in the moment of despair, they gathered the faith of all beings and awakened the world's will. The world will was still in its embryonic stage, but at the brink of extinction, it was forcibly awakened. The masses sacrificed themselves, pushing the world will to its peak form. The world will fought the incomprehensible being and, unsurprisingly, lost.
All life perished, and the world was filled with corpses.
As the time reversal neared its end, Lin Moyu was shocked by the final scene: billions of corpses turned to dust and vanished in mere minutes.
Killing, devouring, consuming souls the Soul Eater swallowed all life in a single breath.
Lin Moyu mused, "It devoured all their souls and bodies. Could this Soul Eater's intelligence have come from this?"
He'd fought Soul Eaters before and knew they had no intelligence, not even the Soul Eater Kings, who mostly acted on instinct. If they could evolve intelligence, they would have done so long ago. Yet this Soul Eater had gained intelligence, likely by devouring so many beings. Or perhaps there was another reason he couldn't be sure.
But with such a Soul Eater roaming the world, many worlds would be doomed. Besides Zhulong and himself, probably no one could truly deal with it not even the eternals.
With a sigh, Lin Moyu summoned the World Burning Fire.
The fire quickly engulfed the world, beginning the work of refining it.
This nameless world had lost all vitality even its world will was destroyed. To re evolve life would take ages. Rather than waste it, Lin Moyu collected it.
The World Burning Fire burned for ten days, refining the world into a world crystal.
For the Great Thousand World, Desolate Beast essence, Great Dao origin qi, and world crystals were all valuable, each with different uses. Desolate Beast essence strengthened the world, Great Dao origin qi evolved countless Daos, and world crystals not only enhanced the world but could quickly help the Great Thousand World generate more internal worlds.
The number of living beings within the Great Thousand World was a key measure of its strength. Previously obtained world crystals had all been given to the Great Thousand World, helping it create several internal worlds.
Mounting Fire Three, Lin Moyu released a red line: "Go that way."
Although Fire Three had wandered aimlessly before, Lin Moyu could now judge the general direction from its memories, and cause and effect could guide him more precisely.
Any world that once harbored ill will toward him, Lin Moyu would not let pass. This karmic debt needed to be repaid.
Fire Three, wreathed in flames, passed through the world mist, and after just a few days, they reached their destination. The mist cleared, revealing another world.
It was dead silent this world too had lost all vitality.
The buildings were intact, the Daos were intact, but all life was gone, not even a corpse remained just like before.
The Soul Eater had visited, turning it into a dead land.
Undead servants flew out, using time reversal again. Lin Moyu saw the Soul Eater devouring this world's life.
Even in the Time Great Dao, the Soul Eater's form could not be seen. The world's beings weren't human, but Lin Moyu could still read shock and confusion in their eyes.
After all life died, the corpses turned to dust and vanished almost instantly.
Life, soul, and body all devoured.
A few hundred years ago, the world's strong had hunted Fire Three. Now, they had been annihilated by the Soul Eater.
The World Burning Fire flew out, refining the world.
At the same time, Lin Moyu pondered: "The Soul Eater came out with the Lord of Hell. So many years have passed countless worlds should have been devoured, but clearly that hasn't happened. Why?"
If many worlds had been destroyed, word would have spread in the Soul Void someone like the Human Sovereign would have heard.
So, only a few, insignificant worlds had been destroyed.
There was only one reasonable explanation: after devouring a world, the Soul Eater needed time to digest it.
That time wouldn't be short, and would depend on the number and strength of the world's beings.
This world had been destroyed about 150 years ago the Soul Eater was likely still nearby, perhaps even hiding here.
Lin Moyu's Undead Eye scanned the world, but the Soul Eater was gone.
"So where did it go?"
Looking out, all he saw was world mist; the Undead Eye couldn't see far.
With a thought, Lin Moyu raised his origin aura and stepped into that higher realm.
The world mist parted; in that state, Lin Moyu overlooked everything.
His gaze stretched far, but still found no trace of the Soul Eater it had gone far away.
His attention shifted a Great Dao Lord was flying toward him at great speed.
