Chapter 4675: It Seems My Path Was Not Wrong
The words of Emperor Azure Break were earth shaking and thunderous.
What he said if spoken to anyone else would not be believed; they would only think he was telling jokes.
But Lin Moyu believed him. He understood the heavens and earth, and also knew something of the Life Forbidden Zone.
The power inside the Life Forbidden Zone was destruction, pure to the extreme.
He had wondered before: the existence of the heavens in the Life Forbidden Zone was inexplicable.
If, one day, the destructive power within the Forbidden Zone erupted in full force, would it not obliterate all worlds, leaving not a trace behind?
Any remnants of worlds would be a joke under such circumstances.
Now, it seemed not only possible, but that it was already happening.
Emperor Azure Break watched Lin Moyu, "You don't seem surprised."
Lin Moyu replied, "To be honest, Emperor, I have dealt with the Life Forbidden Zone within the realms before and have felt its powerful destructive strength.
If, as you say, such a destructive force fully erupts, it really could wipe out all worlds."
"It's just that I still don't understand why must it be so?"
Emperor Azure Break's gaze turned thoughtful, "As for the true reason, I cannot be sure, but I have a few guesses you might wish to hear."
Lin Moyu nodded, "I am all ears."
Emperor Azure Break had studied the heavens for endless years what he gained could not be compared to his own.
He was unlike the Chaos Gem, which merely observed; Emperor Azure Break also pondered.
As the strongest being in existence, the height at which he stood allowed him to think things no one else could.
"I've pondered the purpose of the heavens, the existence of the Life Forbidden Zone, and the meaning of the World Barrier itself."
"If the Great Destruction is real, then what comes after?"
"Based on this, I have a few guesses: one, the Great Destruction exists for the sake of rebirth. It wipes everything away, reducing all to nothing, pushing everything to begin again from scratch."
"The destructive power of the Life Forbidden Zone thus leads the way."
"While the World Barrier contains surging vitality, full of spiritual things and treasures, it decides the birth and death of worlds. Rebirth is its domain."
"With one birth and one death, the union of the two creates the gigantic cycle belonging to the heavens."
"Every so often, there is such a cycle, whose purpose is to cultivate an existence that can reach the true pinnacle."
"Zooming in or out, it is the same on all levels. The heavens undergo great tribulations again and again; if no Supreme appears, the world eventually shatters in the cycle."
"If a Supreme is born, the world's lifespan greatly extends."
"The heavens nurture a Supreme; the Supreme in turn charges through the Life Forbidden Zone to reach the actual summit."
After hearing these speculations, Lin Moyu considered them from his own perspective he would likely arrive at similar conclusions, with only minor differences.
Lin Moyu asked, "Then have you ever thought about what happens after someone breaks through the Life Forbidden Zone and stands at the real summit?"
Emperor Azure Break replied, "I have. That secret is hidden within the Life Forbidden Zone and the World Barrier. If one succeeds, they should be able to gather both the power of life and death to truly achieve immortality."
Lin Moyu's heart thudded. The power of life and death that was exactly his own Undying Dao.
This Dao did not belong to the heavens perhaps it was even greater than the heavens themselves, existing on a par with at least the Life Forbidden Zone.
The destructive power of the Great Destruction in the Forbidden Zone was akin to the power of death, only more domineering and powerful.
If the World Barrier contained vitality, it corresponded to the power of life, as it determined whether a world could give birth to life.
With this understanding, the Undying Dao appeared even more extraordinary.
Thinking of the Life Forbidden Zone, Lin Moyu naturally recalled the fleeting glimpse of the system he had seen inside.
He realized, his encounter with the system was no coincidence.
The Life Forbidden Zone was so vast how could it be mere luck that he glimpsed it?
It could only be that the system had chosen to let itself be seen.
"The system is guiding me leading me into the Life Forbidden Zone."
Lin Moyu suddenly understood something. Just as in the past, when the system left his soul void, it had also been a form of guidance telling him to discern the truth.
Now, it was again a guide, indicating that the path ahead lies in the Life Forbidden Zone.
Any path inside the heavens will, sooner or later, reach its end. He himself would ultimately have to enter the Life Forbidden Zone.
But to enter it, he would have to be completely prepared.
While Lin Moyu pondered these things, Emperor Azure Break did not disturb him many things must ultimately be thought through by oneself; listening alone cannot answer every question.
After some time, Lin Moyu spoke again, "Thank you, Emperor, for clearing up many doubts."
Emperor Azure Break chuckled, "As long as it's useful. Our goals align: you seek to break the Life Forbidden Zone, I wish to fulfill my final wish."
Lin Moyu shook his head, "That's not all in my estimation, if I truly do reach the summit, I'll be able to control the time of the world. At that point, I could reverse time itself and resurrect you."
Emperor Azure Break laughed loudly, "That doesn't matter. Living, dying it's all the same."
Lin Moyu asked, "Back then, was it because you saw the coming Great Destruction that you resolutely decided to charge into the Life Forbidden Zone? With your power at the time, couldn't you have prepared more thoroughly?"
Emperor Azure Break shook his head, "It was useless. No matter how much you prepare, it's all in vain. What you just said is exactly what I was about to bring up. After all my research, I found that to break through to the Life Forbidden Zone requires two things: First is the foundation one must have an extremely solid foundation."
"Foundation is the fundamental basis for all living beings in the worlds without it, nothing else can matter."
"I was too hasty back then, so my foundation wasn't stable. Afterwards, it was extremely difficult to make it up; otherwise, I might have still had some chance."
"The second thing is the world itself. Supremes take the world as their anchor; beyond their own power, the world's strength is equally important. The world is like an extension of ourselves essential as an arm or hand."
"My own world back then had only undergone six cycles of tribulation. I used all sorts of methods to strengthen it, but it was still just barely short of reaching the level of a seven tribulation world."
"If it could have reached seven tribulations, maybe I would have had a chance."
Lin Moyu asked, "Back then, weren't there many worlds with more than seven cycles? Why didn't you try to refine them?"
Emperor Azure Break laughed, "How do you know I didn't? I actually tried, but I always failed. My own world was too weak and couldn't endure the power of a seven tribulation world."
"If I had forced the fusion, my world would have collapsed, and I would have perished."
"So Lin Moyu, never forget whatever world you become Supreme in, that world basically determines your upper limit."
Lin Moyu thought to himself, "It seems my path was not wrong!"
