Chapter 3671: The Cycle of Life, Reincarnation
Lin Moyu felt the tidal storm, which was essentially a storm of the Great Dao's power. After the Nine Treasures Resonance ended, an invisible force calmed the chaotic Great Dao forces in the Void Realm. It was like a spring that had been tightly compressed and couldn't move.
When the compressing hand released, the spring would bounce back more vigorously.
The current situation in the Void Realm was similar. The Great Dao forces rebounded intensely, forming numerous tidal storms that swept across the entire realm.
The Void Realm roared in the storm, and countless void beasts suffered.
Each small soul domain king used their innate treasures to struggle for survival in the storm.
The storms varied in strength, and each location experienced different conditions. Sometimes, luck played a role.
The Void Realm was indeed cruel. On the Origin Continent, Dao Lords of that level wouldn't worry about their lives unless they acted recklessly.
However, in the Void Realm, small soul domain kings could also face life-or-death crises.
A tidal storm would cause a third of the void beasts to fall, and many small soul domain kings would die as well.
But soon, new void beasts would replenish the losses, and new small soul domain kings would emerge. In no time, the Void Realm would return to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
During the tidal storm, Lin Moyu saw some unusual scenes.
Threads of soul flames were being swept into the Beast Abyss by the storm. These flames came from void beasts that had perished, leaving behind residual souls that disappeared into the abyss.
The Soul Heart King said: "Lin friend, you've seen it too."
Lin Moyu nodded: "I don't know what's going on."
The Soul Heart King explained: "This is another legend about the Beast Abyss. It's said that the Beast Abyss is the final resting place for all void beasts; their souls return there after death. However, we can't see this normally, only during tidal storms."
"Legends are just legends; they shouldn't be taken as true."
Lin Moyu couldn't see into the Beast Abyss and asked: "Has any Emperor entered the Beast Abyss?"
The Soul Heart King seemed to have anticipated this question and smiled: "Indeed, the Golden Seal Emperor once entered the Beast Abyss to explore its depths. The Golden Seal Emperor never returned, but the Golden Seal, an innate origin treasure, came back on its own. Since then, the Golden Seal Emperor's position has changed hands."
"In all these years, the transfer of the Emperor's position has been rare, with only a few Emperors entering the real world and causing a change in the position."
Lin Moyu asked: "Did the Golden Seal Emperor die?"
The Soul Heart King shook its head: "No one knows if they're dead or alive. Since then, no Emperor has dared to enter the Beast Abyss. However, some first-level soul void beasts and reckless small soul domain kings have entered but never returned."
Lin Moyu felt that the Soul Heart King's words were contradictory. If no one returned, how did they know about the formation within the Beast Abyss, and where did this information come from?
The Soul Heart King seemed to sense Lin Moyu's doubt: "The legends about the Beast Abyss actually came from the Discernment Beast. It heard rumors from the real world."
"This message suggests that someone entered the Beast Abyss and survived, finding the formation."
"Unfortunately, the Discernment Beast only heard fragments."
Lin Moyu asked: "Why didn't it hear more?"
The Soul Heart King replied: "When the Discernment Beast heard this, it was severely injured. It said that listening further would be dangerous, risking complete destruction."
Lin Moyu was very curious about what the Discernment Beast had heard, feeling that there must be more to it than what was said.
The tidal storm continued, with countless soul flames flying into the Beast Abyss.
If these souls could be refined into crystals, they could significantly enhance one's cultivation to the first-level soul.
This Beast Abyss was one of three in the Golden Furnace Great Soul Domain, surrounded by many small soul domains and countless void beasts.
The residual souls of void beasts that died in the tidal storm all entered the Beast Abyss.
Lin Moyu thought to himself: "If what the Soul Heart King said is true, and the souls of void beasts that die normally also enter the Beast Abyss, how many souls must be inside?"
Lin Moyu didn't doubt the Soul Heart King's words but also didn't blindly believe his own Death's Eye.
Just because he hadn't seen souls entering the Beast Abyss didn't mean it wasn't happening.
Suddenly, an idea struck him: "Could it be...?"
He thought of his own Multiverse, where the worlds were connected by the World Tree's branches to the Bone Hell.
If the Multiverse was considered the real world and the Void Realm as the Bone Hell, could the Beast Abyss be seen as a World Tree branch?
The residual souls of void beasts entering the Beast Abyss might have a chance to enter the real world through a special connection.
If this were true, Lin Moyu thought of another possibility.
"This cycle of life resembles the Buddhist concept of reincarnation."
"Yin and yang alternate, death leads to yin, and rebirth leads to yang, resolving past karma, and the world is reborn ceaselessly."
Lin Moyu felt that his understanding of the world's deepest layers had increased. This journey had brought him gains, and when he returned with these insights, his Multiverse would also benefit.
The Bone Hell wasn't just a place for killing enemies; it might have greater uses.
Both the Origin Continent and the Void Realm were excellent references, allowing him to learn much.
After a while, the tidal storm gradually subsided.
The Void Realm returned to its original state, with the vacuum zones full of dangers, both long-standing and suddenly erupting.
The chaotic mist regained its vitality, surging again, and the amount of chaotic mist in the Void Realm increased manyfold.
A tidal storm seemed to have infused the Void Realm with new vitality, like a rebirth.
The void beasts that survived the storm became stronger, with significant increases in power.
The weakest improved by one level, and some by two.
"This is what they mean by a reshuffle!" Lin Moyu sighed in his heart.
The Soul Heart King said: "It's finally over. Each time we experience a tidal storm, it's like walking between life and death. This time was the most comfortable."
This time, the Soul Heart King had watched others struggle while feeling very comfortable itself.
Lin Moyu's gaze became sharper as he prepared to take action, planning to slaughter nearby void beasts and refine them into soul crystals.
Just then, a massive, oppressive force swept in from the distance, covering the area where Lin Moyu was.
In the void, a large island appeared, emitting dazzling golden light.
On the island, a vague shadow appeared, though its features were unclear. Lin Moyu could sense that it was staring at him.
Under the overwhelming pressure, he couldn't speak or move, and neither could the Soul Heart King.
After a moment, the pressure dissipated, and the island vanished.
The Soul Heart King then spoke with fear: "It was the Golden Pavilion Emperor!"
