Chapter 4656: Destiny Sovereign and Eternal Desolate Bull
Found them!
The man and the bull these two corpses were exactly the ones the Chaotic Desolate Bull wanted him to retrieve.
The figure in the pool seemed to be meditating; the bull by the pool knelt on the ground, as if drinking from the water. The water in the pool was transformed from Primordial Qi.
The Chaos Gem said, "They are using Primordial Qi to temper their bodies. Though they seem dead, their bodies are actually alive. After countless years of refinement by Primordial Qi, their bodies are incredibly strong just short of your own."
"This Primordial Qi isn't ordinary. It leaked from Azure Dragon's corpse after his death, carrying a trace of his power far more potent than usual Primordial Qi."
Lin Moyu murmured, "Who are they, and why are they here?"
Suddenly, Chaos Seed exclaimed, "How could it be him?"
Lin Moyu asked, "You know who it is?"
The Chaos Seed automatically flew out, circling the bull's corpse, "That's the Eternal Desolate Bull!"
Eternal Desolate Bull? In remote antiquity, he'd ranked third, famed for his invincible defense.
Yet this bull looked just like any ordinary ox nothing like a legendary beast. Based on Lin Moyu's understanding, in the Chaotic Wilderness, size equals power, so Eternal Desolate Bull should be enormous if he ranked third.
"This bull looks kind of small!" Lin Moyu muttered.
Chaos Seed responded, "Eternal Desolate Bull could be huge or tiny. At full size, he was a million miles long; shrunk to under ten meters, he took his strongest, most invulnerable form. At ten meters, nothing could scratch him, not even a hair."
Yet this corpse was less than five meters!
Chaos Gem added, "Chaos Seed is right this bull's body is stronger than the man's, even."
Lin Moyu quantified their strength: if his body ranked 100, the man's was 80, the bull's 90. Other Sovereigns topped out at only 60–70.
With the Eternal Desolate Bull's body here, and the Chaotic Desolate Bull requesting its return, what was their relationship?
There were similarities perhaps the Chaotic Desolate Bull inherited its bloodline, but now it seemed the story wasn't so simple.
Lin Moyu sensed the passage of ages from the corpse. He could not nail down the time, but guessed the Eternal Desolate Bull died during the second great tribulation cycle.
But if so, the question arose: how did he get here, long after dying? It must be connected to the figure in the pool who was he, really?
The Chaos Gem studied the man. "Master, there's a fate aura around him."
Fate
Suddenly things were clear to Lin Moyu. "The man in the pool is Destiny Sovereign!"
He was almost certain. Destiny Sovereign had predicted the future including Lin Moyu's appearance helping great Sovereigns prepare ahead.
But such foresight came with backlash; he dissolved his body and reincarnated, vanishing henceforth.
But this story of body dissolution and rebirth spread only by his own word. No one could actually confirm it.
Now it was obvious: Destiny Sovereign never really reincarnated he came here instead.
Perhaps by reading fate, he saw something, escaped by faking his own end, and brought the Eternal Desolate Bull's corpse here.
He found Azure Dragon's remains, used the leaking Primordial Qi to strengthen both bodies.
Now, with Heaven and Earth facing great tribulation again, his soul must return to its body for them to survive.
But he couldn't do it himself, so he sent Lin Moyu to help, trusting fate to pick the right person.
Thus, Destiny Sovereign is not dead his spirit still lingers in the Chaotic Wilderness, most likely in the Chaotic Desolate Bull, who is the reincarnation of the Eternal Desolate Bull.
By returning these two corpses, Lin Moyu was actually allowing both ancient beings to reclaim their bodies.
Once restored, the Eternal Desolate Bull could return, Destiny Sovereign's power would surpass the past, and they might survive the tribulation to come.
This deduction, mostly speculation, seemed to fit the facts.
Lin Moyu was curious: what did Destiny Sovereign really see in the future, that drove him to such lengths? He must have kept much hidden from the other Sovereigns; otherwise, why all this?
Yet, for now, it was more important to deliver the corpses, so he could obtain the Breaking Cang Crystal.
He took out the stone tower, which glowed and grew. Two beams swept up the corpses, pulling them inside.
The process was smooth after collecting the bodies, Lin Moyu also excised the entire pool of Primordial Qi infused water, to give to the Chaotic Desolate Bull.
After all, there were still questions to ask it would be best to stay on good terms.
He left without lingering.
The Azure Dragon's corpse was for viewing, not using; no point staying to angst over it.
"With the first task done, next is finding Sovereign September." The first job had gone smoothly, if time consuming.
The undead soldiers kept searching; after half a year, still no trace of Sovereign September or the world's core.
Lin Moyu had now released 500 billion undead soldiers to search. For Sovereign September, searching alone, even 100,000 years might not suffice.
After all, this was not the Chaotic Wilderness with different laws, she could not sense things using world rules.
Patiently, Lin Moyu continued searching, using his spare time to study formations left behind in Azure Dragon's world comparing them to those of other worlds, he deepened his understanding.
His grasp on formation arts began to transcend reliance on any particular world.
After three years, news arrived: the undead had found traces of Sovereign September.
A kilometer wide palm print on the ground, pressed over a hundred meters deep, bore the emblem of nine moons a sure sign.
"At last, some clues!"
