Chapter 3620. The senior was the Heavenly Emperor of All Living Beings. After refining the Chessboard of All Living Beings, Lin Moyu learned of the owner of the Chessboard of All Living Beings.

He was named the Heavenly Emperor of All Living Beings. Like Emperor Zijin, he was also a Supreme Expert from a Hongmeng World.

His strength was even greater than Emperor Zijin's. At the end of his Great Cataclysm, he refined his own world and everything he possessed into the sentient chess, making this Supreme Hongmeng treasure even stronger.

It was no surprise that he could sense the aura of the Chessboard of All Living Beings, but Lin Moyu had not expected that he would also have a Remnant Soul remaining to this day.

It seemed that the Supreme Experts of the former Hongmeng Worlds had all left their Remnant Souls here.

He just didn't know what place this was. The Heavenly Emperor of All Living Beings smiled, "I didn't expect that after several Great Reincarnations…"

Chapter 4819. Divine Servant Hall. "Someone was actually able to refine the sentient chess; that is truly rare," the Heavenly Emperor of All Living Beings said. Lin Moyu spoke.

"Thanks to the help of the Heavenly Emperor's Chessboard of All Living Beings, this junior was able to survive until now." The Heavenly Emperor of All Living Beings' eyes shifted, and he understood what was going on. "Fellow Daoist Zijin's schemes go against the natural order and violate the rules set by heaven."

"They are destined to fail. Even without the sentient chess, Fellow Daoist Lin would still be able to have the last laugh."

Emperor Zijin snorted coldly, "So what if you won? In the end, won't you still be the same as us, forever trapped here?" Lin Moyu's heart stirred. "Senior Heavenly Emperor…"

"I do not know what place this is." The Heavenly Emperor of All Living Beings said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, just keep walking inside. Someone will tell you. We will not waste any more breath." Emperor Zijin continued to sneer.

"This Emperor will wait here to see how long you can laugh." Lin Moyu had only taken a few steps when a thunderous sound suddenly rang out. Purple-gold lightning flashed before his eyes, and a figure draped in lightning appeared.

Blocking Lin Moyu's path, he looked over with eyes like lightning. "You refined this Emperor's Thunder Pagoda."

Lin Moyu knew that he was the original owner of the Purple-Gold Thunder Pagoda, named Emperor Shenlei, who was also a powerful Supreme Hongmeng Expert.

His final choice was similar to the Heavenly Emperor of All Living Beings; he had also fused his own Hongmeng World into the Thunder Pagoda to make the Supreme Hongmeng treasure stronger, rather than dragging his Hongmeng World along to forcefully endure the Great Cataclysm like Emperor Zijin.

Lin Moyu said, "This junior did indeed refine Senior's Thunder Pagoda." He stared at Lin Moyu for a few moments, then suddenly burst into loud laughter, "Good, good, good! Well refined!"

"This Emperor's pagoda is not something just anyone can refine. Unlike that trash, even if he were allowed to live for several more Great Reincarnations, trash would still be trash." Upon hearing this, Emperor Zijin was so angry that his eyes widened in rage. Emperor Shenlei swept his gaze over.

"What are you looking at? This Emperor said you are trash; do you have an opinion? Look again and this Emperor will beat you to death. Although I cannot truly kill you here, beating you for a few million years…"

"…will be enough to make you wish you were dead." Lin Moyu was surprised. So, it wasn't that fighting was impossible here, just that one couldn't be killed. Emperor Zijin was clearly no match for Emperor Shenlei and had to snort coldly.

He disappeared. Emperor Shenlei said, "You being able to refine the Thunder Pagoda shows that you have strong control over the rules. Perhaps you will have a chance. I will not say anything more. Remember, do not make the wrong choice." After saying this, he also disappeared. Lin Moyu pondered his words.

He continued walking deep into the palace. Deep within the palace, starlight was brilliant, and a large amount of starlight fell; every speck of starlight was a world. It was as if countless worlds were being born and dying here. Suddenly, Lin Moyu stopped in his tracks; a large face appeared in the starry sky.

The large face was hazy, and its true appearance could not be seen, but it could be distinguished as a human face. The face was woven from starlight and exuded an ancient aura. Lin Moyu instantly judged that…

"…this person had existed for countless years. Even those previous Heavenly Emperors and Emperors were far inferior to him." An aged voice slowly rang out, "This old man is the Hall Spirit of the Divine Servant Hall."

"You were able to stand out during this Great Cataclysm, so you are qualified to become the master's Divine Servant." Divine Servant. Lin Moyu's heart trembled slightly. This place was called the Divine Servant Hall.

It was the place where the master's Divine Servants stayed, and the Divine Servants should be those Supreme Hongmeng Experts who still had Remnant Souls remaining. To use Supreme Hongmeng Experts as servants—what kind of status and power did this master possess?

Although shocked, Lin Moyu remained expressionless. He said in a low voice, "Senior, what is a Divine Servant?" The Hall Spirit of the Divine Servant Hall said, "A Divine Servant is naturally the master's attendant."

Lin Moyu continued to ask, "And who is the master you speak of?" The Hall Spirit of the Divine Servant Hall said, "The master is a supreme existence, the origin of all things, and the end of all things."

"You are only qualified to become a Divine Servant; you are not one yet, so there is no need to know so much. Only when your world transforms into a Hongmeng World will you be able to officially become a Divine Servant, officially become a Divine Servant."

What a joke. He had cultivated until now just to become someone's servant? How could he possibly agree? However, without having figured out the situation, Lin Moyu did not make a move.

He remembered what Emperor Shenlei had said and asked, "What if I do not want to become a Divine Servant?" The Hall Spirit of the Divine Servant Hall paused slightly. "Becoming the master's Divine Servant is a supreme honor; others cannot become one even if they want to."

"You actually don't want to? You must know that once you become the master's Divine Servant, you will exist forever, be immortal and undying. Even if you die, your Remnant Soul can be resurrected. You will never have to worry about falling, and from then on, you will be free from the Great Cataclysm and transcend Supreme Hongmeng Experts."

"You will become the strongest existence under the master, with infinite life and endless power, second only to that mysterious master." But having no freedom and being driven by others—this was not what Lin Moyu wanted.

Lin Moyu said, "I was just assuming." The Hall Spirit of the Divine Servant Hall looked at Lin Moyu. "Fine, since you want to know, then we shall act according to the rules. You may have missed a great opportunity, but do not regret it." Lin Moyu said,

"This junior will not regret it." "Then come with this old man." Saying this, he flew toward the deeper parts of the great hall. Lin Moyu followed him. Arriving at the deepest part of the great hall, he saw exquisite chairs one after another. These chairs were elegant and luxurious.

The materials used were something Lin Moyu could not understand, but he could determine that the level was extremely high, not inferior to a Supreme Hongmeng treasure. Using materials equivalent to a Supreme Hongmeng treasure to craft chairs was indeed extravagant.

And at the head of the palace, a more luxurious throne was placed there. Needless to say, that throne belonged to the supreme master the Hall Spirit spoke of. The Hall Spirit said, "You see that?"

"These thrones are all Divine Servant Seats. Only by becoming a Divine Servant are you qualified to sit on them. The thrones were crafted by the master and are stronger than Supreme Hongmeng treasures. If you sit on them…"

"…your cultivation can go to the next level, and you will be immortal. Truly Eternal and undying." Lin Moyu looked at the most luxurious throne at the head. He vaguely felt that…

"…the throne had not been sat on for countless years. In other words, that master had not come for countless years. Moreover, those Supreme Hongmeng Experts who had become Divine Servants were all outside the palace and were not sitting here. There must be a reason for this." The Hall Spirit said,

"Are you sure you do not want to become a Divine Servant? Do you not want to exist forever, be undying through the ages, and be invincible in the world, capable of fighting against the ancient and modern? This old man can give you one more chance to let you choose again."

His voice was full of temptation, like a demonic sound infiltrating everywhere, trying to pry open Lin Moyu's Dao Heart. But Lin Moyu's Dao Heart was too firm and tranquil, without the slightest flaw. He was destined to be futile. Lin Moyu persisted in his own thoughts. "This junior just wants to know, if I do not want to become a Divine Servant, what will happen?"

Chapter 4820. Choice. The Hall Spirit's eyes narrowed slightly. Staring at Lin Moyu, "Are you really sure you want to give up Eternal life and not become a Divine Servant?"

His voice was still full of temptation. Anyone whose Dao Heart was not firm might not be able to resist the temptation and choose to become a Divine Servant. However, those who could become Supreme Hongmeng Experts had Dao Hearts that were not bad.

They could resist these temptations nine times out of ten. Could it be that what Emperor Shenlei said about paying attention to one's choice did not refer to now? Lin Moyu had thoughts in his heart and hummed. "This junior does not want to become a Divine Servant." The Hall Spirit asked again, "Last chance."

"Are you really sure about this?" Lin Moyu answered affirmatively, "I am sure." The Hall Spirit sighed, the large face slowly disappeared, and starlight fell.

An old man stepped out from the starlight. His smile was kind and amiable, and the moment he appeared, he gave people an unspeakable sense of intimacy, as if this person was very trustworthy. Lin Moyu's Dao Heart was firm, and this feeling only appeared for a fleeting moment.

It was then wiped away. He knew that this Divine Servant Hall was not safe, and any wrong step could lead to Eternal damnation. Lin Moyu bowed slightly, "Lin Moyu has met Senior Hall Spirit."

The Hall Spirit smiled kindly, "Little friend, you don't need to be polite. Congratulations to little friend for passing the test of the Divine Servant selection." Lin Moyu asked, "That was a test?" The Hall Spirit said, "Naturally."

"That was a test of facing the temptation of immortality and powerful strength." Lin Moyu's mouth twitched imperceptibly. This kind of test seemed to have no difficulty at all. I fear that not many Supreme Experts would choose to become a Divine Servant. Those who could become Supreme Experts…

"…which one of them was not incredibly intelligent and firm in their Dao Heart? Moreover, the Supreme Experts who could come here were the peak existences among Supreme Experts." The Hall Spirit chuckled, "Little friend must think that the previous choice was a bit of a child's play, right?"

Lin Moyu spoke the truth, "Indeed." The Hall Spirit shook his head, "To little friend, it is indeed child's play. But for some people, it is not. When little friend entered the hall, you saw those Remnant Souls, right?" Lin Moyu said,

"I saw them." The Hall Spirit said, "They are all Divine Servants. There are thirty-eight in total, and every single one is a Supreme Hongmeng Expert. Among them, eighteen did not resist the temptation and directly chose to become Divine Servants."

So many? Among the thirty-eight Divine Servants, eighteen did not resist the temptation? That is almost half; that is too many. The Hall Spirit continued,

"Although those who can come here are top existences, after experiencing a long journey, some people's Dao Hearts have already been damaged. After being impacted by the power of the Great Cataclysm, the damage only becomes more severe. Experiencing a life of the Upper Immortal Calendar can only repair the soul, physical body, and cultivation, but cannot repair the Dao Heart. And under the cover of cultivation…"

"…they cannot even discover that their Dao Hearts are damaged. Thus, in the face of the temptation of Eternal life, they chose to become Divine Servants. But little friend's Dao Heart is perfect, so naturally, you are not affected." So that was it. Lin Moyu asked,

"Then what happens if one chooses to become a Divine Servant?" The Hall Spirit said, "Then you will naturally turn into a Remnant Soul and remain in the hall forever, and your Hongmeng World will naturally collapse, with everything returning to nothingness."

Lin Moyu felt a chill in his heart. It was truly terrifying. One wrong choice could make all his efforts go to waste. The Hall Spirit smiled, "Little friend has made the right choice, so you don't need to worry too much." Lin Moyu would not believe such nonsense. Since twenty people did not choose to become Divine Servants, yet they still ended up as Remnant Souls in the hall and still became Divine Servants, it seems that what comes after is also not safe, perhaps even more dangerous.
