Chapter 3681: Do You Believe in Fate?
The Dragon Lake King barely escaped with its life, its body burned and bruised, looking quite pitiful. Fortunately, it was a king of a small spirit domain, with powerful strength and nourished by a primordial void treasure. The chaotic mist transformed into lake water, helping it recover somewhat.
Initially, the Dragon Lake King thought it could seek revenge against Lin Moyu by asking the Discernment Beast to teach him a lesson. However, upon hearing the Discernment Beast's words, its spirit sank.
The Dragon Lake King acted like a child, stubbornly saying: "I won't apologize, I did nothing wrong!"
The Discernment Beast's tone quickly turned severe: "If you don't apologize, leave the Golden Furnace Great Soul Domain from now on."
At that moment, the Dragon Lake King's expression was as rich as a human's, with eyes showing seven parts grievance and three parts resentment. Eventually, it softened and apologized to Lin Moyu: "I was wrong, sorry."
Lin Moyu didn't say anything, merely humming in acceptance of the apology.
The Dragon Lake King was quite displeased, having cursed Lin Moyu countless times in its heart. However, it also deeply feared Lin Moyu and didn't dare look him straight in the eye.
The Discernment Beast said: "The child doesn't understand, Lin Friend is magnanimous. Don't mind it anymore; I'll discipline it when we return."
Lin Moyu nodded and tossed out a spiritual flower: "As long as it wasn't killed, it can be saved."
Hearing this, the Dragon Lake King shivered. It wasn't foolish and understood that Lin Moyu's words were telling the Discernment Beast to scold it thoroughly before using the spiritual flower to heal it.
"This person is so venomous!" the Dragon Lake King muttered to itself, its fear of Lin Moyu deepening.
The Discernment Beast collected the spiritual flower: "Thank you, Lin Friend. I'll leave now."
It ordered the Dragon Lake King to return, and the Dragon Lake King was eager to leave, disappearing in an instant.
Lin Moyu pondered: "The Discernment Beast's attitude is overly kind."
"Previously, our interaction was equal; it neither looked down on me nor was overly submissive."
"What happened to make the Discernment Beast treat me so well?"
He roughly understood that the Dragon Lake King was the Discernment Beast's pet. The pet was bullied, yet the Discernment Beast wasn't angry and even apologized. This was somewhat unusual. However, Lin Moyu didn't dwell on it; there were too many inexplicable things in the world.
His attention remained on the world's origin core, where the Soul Heart King was still battling the world's will.
The Soul Heart King's will was firm, not falling behind in the struggle. It continuously launched attacks against the world's will.
The world's will guarded its world tightly, and this was no longer a contest of power but a test of the Soul Heart King's Dao heart. Lin Moyu could sense the Soul Heart King's powerful Dao heart, accumulated over countless years, almost becoming an obsession.
For the Soul Heart King, this struggle was a matter of victory or death, with no room for defeat.
When a powerful being no longer fears death, the power it can unleash is terrifying.
The battle shifted from intense to stalemate, and then the Soul Heart King began to gain the upper hand. It started to erode the world's will, aiming to leave an eternal, indestructible mark on this world.
Lin Moyu watched the entire process, aware that he was witnessing the birth of a transcendent being.
In the history of the Void Realm, successful transcendence was rare, making this moment precious and not to be missed.
The Soul Heart King gradually consumed the world's will, pushing it back until it had nowhere to retreat.
Finally, the world's will's last resistance was crushed, and Lin Moyu felt the world's will collapse, becoming the Soul Heart King's sustenance.
From that moment on, the Soul Heart King replaced the world's will, becoming the master of this world.
The world's origin core roared, as massive chaotic mist rushed towards it. The surrounding Great Dao energies vibrated, with various Great Daos humming in celebration, as if cheering for the birth of a new era.
The world hadn't changed; it just had a new master. The transition was like the world's rebirth, and the Great Dao naturally rejoiced.
"History belongs to the victors," Lin Moyu muttered to himself. No one would care about who the world belonged to before.
Others would only know who the current master was.
The chaotic mist wrapped around the Great Dao energy, continuously flowing into the origin core. The entire world benefited from the Soul Heart King, becoming stronger.
As soon as the Soul Heart King became the world's master, it began to direct the world's changes.
This world, once nameless, should now be called the Soul Heart World.
A moment later, the Soul Heart King's virtual image appeared outside the origin core. It took on a human form and bowed to Lin Moyu from afar: "Thank you, Lin Friend, for your assistance. This kindness will never be forgotten."
Lin Moyu flew over and said loudly: "Congratulations, Soul Heart King, on achieving your wish. This world will surely become powerful under your guidance."
The Soul Heart King shook its head: "Whether the world is strong or not, I have no great expectations. Everything has its destiny; the Great Dao cannot be defied. Some things cannot be forced."
Lin Moyu furrowed his brow: "What do you mean by this?"
The Soul Heart King suddenly sighed: "The transcendence we void beasts yearn for is actually just entering another circle. But to reach this point is already not easy, so I dare not ask for more. I'll just follow fate from now on."
It pondered for a moment before asking: "Lin Friend, do you believe in fate?"
Lin Moyu didn't expect this question and replied: "I both believe and don't believe."
The Soul Heart King chuckled: "It's good that you don't believe. Once you believe in fate, your achievements will be limited to that."
"The kindness you've shown me, I have no way to repay. Here is a strand of the world's energy, a token of my intention. I hope you won't mind it."
As it spoke, the Soul Heart King condensed a small light in its palm, which contained the most fundamental world's chronology.
Lin Moyu felt this world's energy was very similar to the power in the world crystals he had refined before.
Lin Moyu said: "This will harm your world."
The Soul Heart King smiled: "It doesn't matter; it can recover."
Lin Moyu didn't decline further and accepted the world's energy.
This energy was far more powerful than the world crystals he had refined before. After all, those were from a dead world, while this one was full of vitality.
The Soul Heart King said: "I've just taken over the world, and there's much to do. I won't accompany you further."
Lin Moyu bowed slightly: "Then we'll meet again if fate allows it."
"May we meet again!"
The two bid farewell, and the world's origin core erupted with dense mist, completely obscuring itself.
As a result, the origin core began to change its position, and the entire world started moving.
Lin Moyu knew that this parting might be a permanent goodbye. He watched as the Soul Heart World receded into the distance, aware that their existence was like a grain in the vast ocean. To meet again would truly depend on fate.
Lin Moyu's gaze was thoughtful. In their brief conversation, the Soul Heart King had revealed much information.
Its pursuit of transcendence wasn't true transcendence but rather moving from one circle to another.
The Soul Heart King was telling him not to become a servant to the world like it had.
