It also has this characteristic; no matter how strong this aura of decay is, it can do nothing to the soul particles.

The soul particles flew within the wasteland; the ground was black, devoid of any vitality.

It was full of death energy, but Lin Moyu knew very well that it is often such dead lands that…

…give birth to extreme vitality. Moreover, the death energy here was somewhat peculiar.

They were too extreme and did not seem to be naturally generated. This land should have once been full of vitality.

Vitality reached its limit, and finally, for some reason…

…it jumped to the other extreme, thus becoming a dead land. With the ability of a Supreme Expert…

…dealing with this dead land is not a difficult task, so why was it left alone?

Could it have some special significance? There was a grand formation guarding the outside of the wasteland; clearly, no one was allowed to enter this place.

Something special must have happened here in the past. Let me take a look.

What exactly happened here back then? With a hint of curiosity, the soul particles used the rules…

…to examine the imprints left in time. Time flowed.

The more Lin Moyu looked, the stranger he felt. The imprints left in time here…

…had actually been deliberately erased. He could not see clearly, but the more this was the case…

…the more it proved that the other party wanted to hide something. The grand formation outside the wasteland was personally set up by the Supreme Expert of the Hongmeng World, and their auras were connected.

Lin Moyu would not be mistaken. Why did he not want people to approach this place?

What is this? While pondering, Lin Moyu suddenly saw some things…

…buried in the soil. The soul particles did not disturb the soil; this was clearly the territory of the Supreme Expert of the Hongmeng World.

Perhaps he would send someone to watch this place. If he were to disturb the soil…

…he would definitely be discovered. The soul particles burrowed directly inside to check the object in the soil.

A touch of green entered his vision. Inside the green light were peculiar patterns. This is…

A Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf! The patterns in the green light were exactly the same as a Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf. The soul particles shuttled through the green light.

They outlined its shape from the edges, finally confirming that this was a fragmented Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf. However, the vitality within this Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf…

…had already been replaced by decay; it was merely a hollow shell, rotten on the inside.

But the appearance of the fragmented Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf let Lin Moyu know what kind of place this was. There had once been a Hongmeng Spirit Tree here.

It was just that for some reason, the Hongmeng Spirit Tree was destroyed, and the extreme vitality jumped to the other extreme…

…turning into extreme death. Although the Hongmeng Spirit Tree was destroyed, some broken branches and leaves remained.

During the Great Tribulation in the Chaos Ancient Wilderness, the Hongmeng Spirit Tree roots appeared, as well as that Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf.

They might all have come from here. If it is said that there was once a Hongmeng Spirit Tree here…

…then, how was the Hongmeng Spirit Tree destroyed? Was it also because of the Great Destruction?

The Great Destruction impacted the world, the world was damaged, and only then was the Hongmeng Spirit Tree destroyed.

No, this cause and effect seems reversed, Lin Moyu suddenly realized.

He had reversed the cause and effect. The reason the Hongmeng Spirit Tree was destroyed was indeed the Great Destruction.

However, it was not the damage to the world that caused the Hongmeng Spirit Tree to collapse; rather, it was because the Hongmeng Spirit Tree collapsed first…

…that caused the world to be severely damaged. The Hongmeng Spirit Tree is an important core supporting the Hongmeng World, and its function is even more important than the world core.

It can be seen as another core of the world. The world core governs the rules and the Dao of Strength, while the Hongmeng Spirit Tree supports the world.

It continuously absorbs power from the Life Forbidden Zone and feeds it back to the world. As long as the Hongmeng Spirit Tree exists…

…the Hongmeng World can continuously obtain nutrients. Even slight damage can be recovered; at the very least…

…the Hongmeng Spirit Tree can also entwine the world, keeping the world in its current state so it will not gradually collapse.

It is also because of the existence of the Hongmeng Spirit Tree that the world can continue to grow stronger over time. The living beings and Supreme Experts within the world…

…even if they do nothing, their power will grow stronger accordingly. For the Hongmeng World, the Hongmeng Spirit Tree…

…is a powerful passive ability. But now that the Hongmeng Spirit Tree has been destroyed, the world has lost its most important source of nutrients.

After being damaged, it fell into a continuous state of collapse that is difficult to reverse. Having figured out the wasteland…

…Lin Moyu also realized the importance of the Hongmeng Spirit Tree. Without a Hongmeng Spirit Tree…

…it is impossible to ascend to a Hongmeng World. Fortunately, his Yushen World already has a Hongmeng Spirit Tree.

It meets the conditions for evolution, but from the current perspective, he has not yet found the correct evolutionary method.

Lin Moyu always felt that something was still missing. The soul particles left the wasteland.

He continued to fly and observe in this world, observing for decades, almost seeing the entire world.

He understood every detail, yet he still could not find the answer he wanted.

How to evolve the Yushen World into a Hongmeng World? He still had no clue until now. Finally…

…the soul particles returned to where the world core was located, looking at the nineteen-story pagoda and palace, feeling the aura of the Supreme Expert in the palace.

The tampering he did to the formation had an obvious effect; the other party's recovery progress was significantly slowed down. The key was that the other party knew nothing about it.

The soul particles chose an inconspicuous corner, hid, and continued to secretly observe this world.

The main body in the Yushen World finished a game of sentient chess and muttered to himself, "It seems that wanting to evolve into a Hongmeng World…"

"…is not that easy. I can only take it one step at a time." He continued to enter the Chessboard of All Living Beings.

He comprehended the rules within. In the blink of an eye, more than two hundred years passed. The Yushen World and the Chaos Ancient Wilderness were both safe and sound.

That Hongmeng World did not show any abnormalities either, but Lin Moyu could occasionally feel that someone was spying on the Yushen World.

The spying came from the Life Forbidden Zone. He knew that the Purple-Clad Man had not gone far; he was right outside the Yushen World watching him.

Lin Moyu did not bother with him. "If you want to watch, then watch. Looking at me won't make me lose a piece of flesh."

Besides, there was still the Hongmeng Spirit Tree covering the world, so he could not see anything either.

At most, he could just see if his Yushen World was still here. Lin Moyu knew he was waiting.

Waiting for the main body to wake up. Finally, two hundred years later…

…the world core of the Yushen World officially completed its evolution, and the Tianchu Technique…

…also took shape simultaneously. In an instant, Lin Moyu refined the world core and simultaneously comprehended the Tianchu Technique.

He integrated it into his Nine Heavens Fate Technique. The entire process was extremely smooth. At this moment, Lin Moyu completely controlled the Yushen World.

A glimmer of light lit up in his soul. The main body, currently in the Chessboard of All Living Beings, suddenly looked up into the distance.

His gaze penetrated the Chessboard of All Living Beings, passed through the Life Forbidden Zone, and saw that thing again.

Chapter 4805: Strict Rules

A seductive voice rang out in his soul again, attracting him to go over and obtain that thing.

The same voice had appeared before. Lin Moyu suddenly understood some things, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

So that is how it is. If the Yushen World wants to evolve into a Hongmeng World, it might be related to that thing in the Life Forbidden Zone.

These rules are indeed strict, step by step, interlinked. First, achieve the Dao within the world.

Only after completely controlling the world can one see the next path to take: entering the Life Forbidden Zone.

Obtaining that thing is a path that everyone who becomes the strongest within the world must take. As long as there is still a desire to ascend in one's heart…

…one will step onto this path. But this path is too difficult, so much so that during this Great Destruction…

…countless Supreme Experts fell within the Life Forbidden Zone, and not a single one succeeded. Or rather, that is not right.

It is not that no one has succeeded; this Great Destruction era has not ended yet.

There is still me. Lin Moyu's understanding of the rules deepened by another layer.

The rules are very strict. Only after completing one step will the…

…next path to take be revealed. That thing in the Life Forbidden Zone is for those who have finished the path within the world…

…to see the next step. This step is not forced; one can choose to take it or not.

The temptation from the Life Forbidden Zone always exists, but the temptation is not strong; it is not irresistible.

Any Supreme Expert who reaches the peak of this world will receive the same treatment. In Lin Moyu's view…

…this step is a multiple-choice question. It can eliminate those who lack self-awareness, eliminate those who lack strength…

…eliminate those who cannot resist temptation. This is a moment of realization, but it does not seem like a realization.

Lin Moyu knew what he should do next, but now, it was not the time yet.

That ancient existence from a certain Great Destruction era, the Supreme Expert who possesses a Hongmeng World…

…is about to fully recover. He and that person will surely have a battle. Going to the Life Forbidden Zone is not an easy task.

He does not know how long he will be gone. He is afraid that when he returns, the Yushen World will have already changed masters.

Before solving this person, he cannot go. That person is probably thinking the same thing.

He appeared outside the Yushen World with a clone, staring at the Yushen World, which is also telling him not to go.

If he goes, the Yushen World will inevitably change masters. If the Yushen World is gone, even if he obtains that thing in the Life Forbidden Zone…

…what is the use? This kind of silent language is understood by everyone.

Then let us see who laughs last. You have your eyes on my Yushen World…

…and do I not have my eyes on your Hongmeng World? Lin Moyu continued the Chessboard of All Living Beings, and the clone left at the world core was not idle either.

Rune after rune flew out, merging into the rules of the Yushen World, weaving a giant net for the Yushen World.

It protected the world firmly. Once this giant net is activated, it will absorb the destruction energy from the Life Forbidden Zone.

It does not consume the power of the world at all. Even when facing the Supreme Expert of the Hongmeng World, it can resist for a period of time.

The greatest function of the formation is to block the aftermath of the great battle, ensuring that the Yushen World is not damaged. Now the Chaos Ancient Wilderness has been brought over by Little Tree…

…firmly attached to the roots of Little Tree, also protected by the formation. The formation above the world…

…indeed has many benefits. If I could take it a step further, I would directly go into the Hongmeng World to set up a formation.

I wouldn't let that guy come out at all. Lin Moyu felt that he was being whimsical and couldn't help but laugh at himself.

If it were really that simple, that would be great. Comprehending the Dao of Formations is not simple.

Setting up a formation in someone else's home is equally difficult; it can only be a thought.

Lin Moyu fully comprehended the rules in the Chessboard of All Living Beings. With victory after victory, Lin Moyu gained more and more.

The rules in the Chessboard of All Living Beings are not for Lin Moyu to attain the Dao, but a form of refining the Chessboard of All Living Beings.

Lin Moyu knew from the beginning that the Chessboard of All Living Beings is an extremely powerful magical treasure, but its refining method is extremely special.

Basic refining only allows it to evolve the chess game; true refining is comprehending the rules within the chess game.

When all the rules are comprehended, the final refining is completed, and only then can this magical treasure be truly driven.

Lin Moyu is now getting closer and closer to fully comprehending the rules; there is not much difference left. In the blink of an eye, another hundred years passed.

The soul particles Lin Moyu left in the Hongmeng World were awakened by a low, long sigh. The long sigh resounded through the world.

The entire Hongmeng World shook because of it. In an instant…

…countless living beings in the Hongmeng World, from snakes, insects, rats, and ants, to ancient divine beasts…

…all knelt and prostrated themselves, contributing their most devout belief to the Lord of the World.

A majestic Power of Belief gathered into a sea and surged over. The soul particles saw it and transmitted it back to the main body.

This level of Power of Belief is unprecedented. Although there are many living beings in my Ten Directions Realm…

…compared to the living beings of a world, it is still far inferior. The first batch of living beings in the Yushen World…

…have not been born yet. Even if they were born, they would not be able to compare at all.

As expected of the Hongmeng World, this foundation alone is astonishing enough.
