Falling into the Chaos Ancient Wilderness along with countless spatial fragments, he swept his gaze across the area; this was the Desolate Scar.

The hongmeng gem also took a look and confirmed, "Yes, the Desolate Scar is very close to the East Pole."

Located at the edge of the East Pole, the Desolate Scar had essentially returned to chaos, and the shattering of time and space did not affect the fusion of the Desolate Shadow Insect King.

Their fusion was still ongoing, the power emanating from it growing stronger and stronger, while time and space continued to shatter.

Lin Moyu's heart stirred as he summoned the hidden spirit bead, handing it to Xiao Peng to control.

Because he was being blocked by the rules of heaven and earth, he could no longer use the hidden spirit bead, so Xiao Peng drove it with all his might.

However, the power of the hidden spirit bead could not completely conceal the soon-to-be-born Desolate Shadow Insect Mother, and the scope of the shattered time and space grew ever larger.

A billion li, a hundred billion li, a hundred trillion li; space shattered into dregs like tofu.

Due to some strange force, space from afar was forcibly dragged over, and there were living beings within the Desolate Scar.

They were instantly pulled close and died silently, regardless of whether they were at the Chaos Realm Small Success, Great Success, or Perfection-level.

At this moment, none could escape; in the blink of an eye, all living beings within a range of tens of quadrillions of li were wiped out.

The number of living beings within such a vast area was beyond counting, and they all died at this moment; this is the Great Calamity.

As long as one is a living being, one is within the calamity. Lin Moyu sighed, feeling helpless about this; once the Great Calamity begins, no one can be spared.

Those who can survive are the darlings of heaven and earth. After the Desolate Shadow Insect King had fused for a while, a terrifying giant insect phantom slowly emerged.

The mere phantom made Lin Moyu's heart tremble slightly; its power vaguely surpassed that of a Great Venerable. Under its influence, time and space…

…became concrete, and countless images appeared in the shattered void, though one could not tell when or where these images came from.

It was incredibly chaotic, followed by another great shattering, where more space broke and time and space became increasingly chaotic.

Lin Moyu also felt a trace of discomfort; he felt his own time was going haywire—a glance could be ten thousand years, or it could be reversed by millions of years.

Fortunately, his physical body and soul were powerful, and combined with the qi of heavens beginning…

…wrapping around his Soul World, he forcibly blocked the influence of time amidst this great shattering.

A corner of the Desolate Scar collapsed and spread to the East Pole; this place was originally the boundary between the Desolate Scar and the East Pole.

Being in the edge zone, this boundary was now shattered, and part of the East Pole's space was also torn to pieces.

Lin Moyu saw several Domains; some Perfection-level Experts had placed their Domains at the edge of the East Pole, and there were also some unowned Domains that had not fully formed.

When time and space shattered, these Domains were revealed and then torn to shreds. Regardless of how many living beings were in those Domains…

…or how many experts, they all died in that instant. The Great Calamity is ruthless; heaven and earth do not care about the life or death of mere living beings.

"Never mind a few Domains; even if thousands or tens of thousands of Domains were destroyed simultaneously, it would be a trivial matter to heaven and earth," the hongmeng gem said. "The Great Calamity has arrived."

"Even if they don't die now, they will die later. To survive the Great Calamity…"

"…aside from heaven-defying luck, one needs heaven-defying strength. In short, one must defy heaven."

"The rules are heaven. The Great Calamity is a calamity of heaven and earth. Those who can survive are considered heaven-defying." Lin Moyu said, "I understand. In the midst of the Great Calamity, even Great Venerables cannot protect themselves."

"In their eyes, these living beings are not even as good as ants," the hongmeng gem chuckled.

"Master, if you want more people to survive, then create a Supreme Expert as soon as possible, and the Great Calamity can be ended quickly."

Lin Moyu shook his head. "Although I don't want too many people to die, I will still proceed according to my own plan, step by step."

"I cannot rush. I would rather be slow and walk firmly." Lin Moyu was not a heartless person.

But he was not some righteous fanatic either; he only cared about the people he cherished. As for the life and death of others…

…he could not control it. Now that all his Domains had finished merging and had been sent into the Yushen World…

…no longer affected by the Great Calamity, he had absolutely no need to worry about others. He only needed to proceed according to his own plan.

As long as he ultimately succeeded, that was enough. The Desolate Shadow Insect Mother continued to fuse, and the phantom gradually solidified.

Its aura became increasingly vast, and the hidden spirit bead had lost most of its effectiveness, barely able to conceal it.

However, Lin Moyu was not worried. He knew very well that the aura of the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother…

…was difficult for outsiders to perceive. Only because he was the master of the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother could he feel it so clearly.

The aura of the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother seeped into different time and space; after traversing time and space, it would appear in every corner of chaos.

Even an existence like Great Venerable Tianzai would find it difficult to capture the exact location of the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother through its aura. They would only know that in the world, there had appeared…

…another existence not much weaker than them. Counting the soon-to-be-formed Desolate Shadow Insect Mother, this world already had five existences surpassing the Great Venerables.

But they were not yet Supreme Experts. This did not even include Lin Moyu. The Great Calamity was about to become even more lively.

Boom. A rumbling sound arrived as the rules of heaven and earth suddenly descended, and purple thunderclouds condensed in the void.

Bolts of purple lightning shattered time and space, descending in response. The sudden arrival of the rules of heaven and earth…

…somewhat exceeded Lin Moyu's expectations. He thought he was no longer being watched by the rules of heaven and earth, and that this applied to everything belonging to him as well.

It seemed his thinking was too one-sided. The rules of heaven and earth were still secretly watching him and would look for opportunities to cause him trouble.

The first time was breaking the spatial channel, letting him fall into the spatial rift of the Desolate Shadow Insects, but it failed to kill him.

Instead, it allowed him to obtain an opportunity. This was the second time; this time, he was fusing into the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother, and the rules of heaven and earth sent down lightning.

Chapter 4642: Help Me Look Carefully

It wanted to stop the appearance of the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother, or perhaps the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother was too heaven-defying, giving the rules of heaven and earth the conditions to take action.

"It's truly strange. Isn't it said that the rules of heaven and earth have no wisdom? Why do I feel like it seems to have some wisdom?" The two moves by the rules of heaven and earth…

…made Lin Moyu feel something unusual. Previously, the feeling the rules of heaven and earth had given him had always been very normal.

Whether it was treating him as a calamity bearer, or later, under his repeated Taunts and provocations, having its bottom line broken…

…and finally designating him as an enemy of heaven and earth, all of this was within his expectations and very consistent with his understanding of heaven and earth.

However, that move in the spatial channel had already somewhat exceeded his expectations.

Normally, the rules of heaven and earth would not take action personally because they were just rules. Not only did they have to make the living beings within heaven and earth follow the rules…

…but they themselves had to follow the rules as well. However, that time could still be explained as an accident, Lin Moyu thought.

Perhaps his understanding of heaven and earth had a slight deviation, but this second move by the rules of heaven and earth…

…was unjustifiable. The appearance of the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother was, at most, just surpassing a Great Venerable.

It shouldn't have attracted lightning punishment. Lin Mohan had also surpassed a Great Venerable at the time, and likewise, it didn't attract lightning punishment.

Besides that, there was one more thing Lin Moyu couldn't figure out: what good would it do for the rules of heaven and earth to kill him?

Even if he became an enemy of heaven and earth, that would just be an opportunity for others; others could achieve the Dao by killing him.

If the rules of heaven and earth killed him, it would be useless. Could it be that the rules of heaven and earth themselves could also achieve the Dao?

The Desolate Shadow Insect Mother faced the lightning, screaming within it. The scream pierced through time and traveled extremely, extremely far.

The scream was like a blade, instantly reaching a vast distance; hundreds of quadrillions of li away, a large number of living beings were wiped out.

The Desolate Shadow Insect Mother had not yet fully formed, but its power had already begun to show. The lightning was very powerful; driven by the rules of heaven and earth…

…every bolt of lightning could destroy time and space and cause damage to the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother, but it was useless. The Desolate Shadow Insect Mother was not an ordinary living being.

It was an Undead. One of the characteristics of an Undead is that it is very hard to kill.

Even if it died, it could quickly revive. Lin Moyu was equivalent to possessing a gold-medal thug that was almost impossible to kill…

…with strength surpassing a Great Venerable. Even the lightning of the rules of heaven and earth would find it difficult to exterminate it.

Lin Moyu watched for a while and then stopped paying attention.

He said to the hongmeng gem, "I have something that needs your help." Upon hearing that it was needed to help…

…the hongmeng gem immediately perked up. "Master, since you are so sincere, I will definitely give it my all." Lin Moyu said, "I suspect the rules of heaven and earth have consciousness."

"Help me look carefully." The hongmeng gem instinctively said, "Impossible."

"The rules of heaven and earth cannot give birth to consciousness. The world will might exist, and Domains have a very, very small probability of birthing consciousness."

"But heaven and earth cannot; I have never seen it." Lin Moyu said, "Never seen it doesn't mean it's impossible."

"What if? I also hope I am wrong. Help me look carefully."

The hongmeng gem let out an "oh" and looked into the distance; no one knew what it was looking at.

Lin Moyu didn't know either, but he knew it must be able to see some unknown things. The level of the hongmeng gem was higher than that of heaven and earth.

Moreover, it had seen the birth and death of countless heavens and earths, and had seen the birth and fall of Supreme Experts. At Lin Moyu's request, the hongmeng gem looked very carefully.

Unlike before, when it just took a casual glance, it did not let any detail go, observing carefully bit by bit.

Its manifested body slowly rotated, circle after circle, time after time.

Its brows would sometimes furrow, and some emotions could be seen in its expression. When Lin Moyu saw the changes in the hongmeng gem's expression…

…he immediately realized that it must have seen something. The lightning continued, the thunderbolts becoming increasingly dense; the densely packed lightning bombarded down like a rainstorm.

It was endless. Lin Moyu also furrowed his brows; this situation seemed a bit wrong.

The rules of heaven and earth had a stance of not stopping until the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother was killed. He didn't know how many times the lightning had fallen—a thousand times…

…ten thousand times, far more than that; it was impossible to count. The Desolate Shadow Insect Mother was riddled with holes.

Every bolt of lightning could cause some damage to it. The damage was not large, but it was astonishing when accumulated.

Originally, Lin Moyu did not want to interfere, but now he had to make a move. Although the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother would not truly die…

…it had not yet fully formed, and Lin Moyu could not let the rules of heaven and earth do as they pleased. He flicked his finger, and a strand of Power of Life…

…flew out like a long dragon and landed on the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother. With the help of the Power of Life…

…the wounds on the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother recovered rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it exceeded the speed of the lightning's destruction. If this continued, it wouldn't take long…

…before the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother would recover to its original state. After the last epiphany, the current Undying Great Dao was countless times stronger than before.

The effect of the Power of Life had also greatly improved. The lightning suddenly boiled.

The Power of Life was like cold water poured into a pot of hot oil, triggering a fierce counterattack from the rules of heaven and earth.

The lightning instantly became stronger, as if trying to suppress Lin Moyu's Power of Life as well.

The hongmeng gem suddenly shouted, "I saw it!" It pointed its finger, and the balance gem bloomed with strong light.

It enveloped the lightning and the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother. For a moment, the lightning weakened.

The balance gem balanced the heaven and earth lightning and the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother. With their powers equalized, the heaven and earth lightning could no longer harm the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother in the slightest.

"This works too?" Lin Moyu was stunned. The balance gem was indeed very strong, but to be able to balance even the rules of heaven and earth…

…was still a little shocking. The hongmeng gem giggled, "Originally it wouldn't work, but there are some things inside, so it became possible."

"What things?" Lin Moyu instinctively asked. He was very curious—what could make the impossible become possible?

The hongmeng gem said, "I'll tell you in a while." With the help of the balance gem, the heaven and earth lightning lost its effect.

The Desolate Shadow Insect Mother finally completed the last step and fully formed. At the moment it completely formed…

…the heaven and earth lightning dissipated, leaving only a devastated void. A massive insect, one hundred thousand meters in size…

…appeared in the void. It had a hundred legs, each one like a sharp blade.

Its massive body flickered in and out of existence, carrying a seven-part illusory haziness. Its body had smooth scales, emitting dreamlike, strange colors.

It was hard to say what color it was; it seemed to have every color, and it was extremely beautiful.

The Desolate Shadow Insect Mother was more beautiful and powerful than imagined. Lin Moyu could feel its terror. With a thought, Lin Moyu obtained a large amount of information from the consciousness of the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother.

As the strongest existence among the Desolate Shadow Insects, it already possessed some weak wisdom and could conduct simple communication.

Lin Moyu checked the abilities of the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother, his eyes growing brighter and brighter, as dazzling as the scorching sun.

Chapter 4643: The Guy Hiding Behind the Scenes

The information transmitted by the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother was extensive.

It actually possessed ancient memories; a very long time ago, it had appeared once before.

That time, someone was hunting Desolate Shadow Insects. At that time, there were quite a few Desolate Shadow Insects in the world, and they lived peacefully in spaces that belonged only to them.

As a result, people came to hunt them. They suffered heavy losses, and in the end, they fused into the Desolate Shadow Insect Mother.
