 Chapter 3153: An Ultra-Long Term Task with Freedom to Come and Go

Lord Wentian said some extremely profound things that Lin Moyu currently found difficult to understand.

But this wasn't important. After half an hour of realm-crossing travel, they arrived at their destination.

Two brilliant Milky Ways hung in space.

One Milky Way was light purple, the other bright red.

Both Milky Ways were shattered, with countless fragments floating in the pitch-black space.

Lin Moyu could sense two extremely powerful forces spreading through space, but these two forces had completely lost their vitality.

"This is... shattered Dao!"

Lin Moyu wasn't very certain.

Lord Wentian said softly, "That's right, it's the Dao."

"The light purple one is called the Purple Lightning Dao. The bright red one is the Scarlet Blood Dao."

People usually see the Dao as illusory and ethereal, high above. When had it ever hung here like broken walls and ruins?

Lin Moyu had never seen the Dao in such a state. He couldn't help feeling shocked, and also somewhat let down.

Although he knew the Dao could shatter, when truly seeing the shattered Dao, his heart still held complex emotions that were hard to describe.

Dealing with the Dao every day, borrowing the power of the Dao, if one's own Dao shattered, would one's power also shatter with it?

For a moment, Lin Moyu felt sympathy for those who cultivated the Purple Lightning Dao.

Lord Wentian smiled, "Don't think about other things. The Purple Lightning Dao shattering was a matter of our era, unrelated to your era."

"People now can't comprehend the Purple Lightning Dao anymore, so things are as they should be."

"As for that Scarlet Blood Dao, you should have already seen that it's not a Dao of the Origin Continent."

Lin Moyu had indeed already seen this. The moment he saw the Scarlet Blood Dao, his soul produced a slight feeling of disgust.

Perhaps because he had half left the Origin Continent, or perhaps because the Scarlet Blood Dao had already shattered, this feeling of disgust wasn't strong. "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Dao of the Blood Rat Realm."

Lord Wentian said, "That's right, it's the Dao of the Blood Rat Realm. In that garbage world, there aren't many complete Daos, just a few. This Scarlet Blood Dao was already one of the more powerful ones."

"Their Scarlet Blood Dao shattering here, you can imagine what kind of blow that was to the Blood Rat Realm."

"So, for all these years, they've been trying to find a way to bring the Scarlet Blood Dao back, attempting to repair it."

Lin Moyu asked curiously, "The Dao can be repaired?"

Lord Wentian said, "It can, but it's very difficult. You want to ask, since it can be repaired, why not bring our Dao back?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "That's right."

Lord Wentian said, "Not bringing it back naturally has reasons for not bringing it back. Those fellows' schemes aren't just repairing the Dao. Do you want to know?"

"Tell me in the future." Lin Moyu was sensible enough not to ask further.

Many things weren't suitable for him to know now, so it was better to drop it.

The more one knew, the greater the karmic ties, and the more trouble.

Lord Wentian was very satisfied with Lin Moyu's answer. "Let me tell you about what needs to be done next. Do you see those scattered fragments?"

When the Dao shattered, countless Dao fragments fell into this void.

These Dao fragments were different from what Lin Moyu had obtained. They were much larger and still emitted powerful force.

Lord Wentian continued, "These Dao fragments, being close to the Dao, still maintain powerful force."

"Those fellows from the Blood Rat Realm are occupying these Dao fragments, trying to return the Dao fragments to the Dao."

"What you need to do is go there and kill all the blood rats on them."

Lin Moyu finally knew what the task was. It was nothing but killing people.

Oh no, killing rats!

Lin Moyu didn't quite understand, "Wouldn't senior be much more efficient at doing this? Couldn't you clear them out with just a few moves?"

Lord Wentian chuckled, "This is the void space between two realms. There are many restrictions. Heavenly Dao realm beings can't easily take action here."

"We can't take action, and neither can the other side's Great Dao realm beings. Forget Great Dao realm, even ninth-level Dao Venerables can't take action here."

"Here, the strongest are eighth-level Dao Venerables. I believe you should be able to handle it."

Lin Moyu smiled bitterly, "You think too highly of junior. Junior is only third-level Dao Venerable. Even with some methods, I can handle one or two eighth-level Dao Venerables, but if there are more, junior can't withstand it."

Lord Wentian patted Lin Moyu's shoulder, "Although there are some difficulties, this old man believes you'll be fine."

"If there's real danger, you can also return immediately through the seal."

"It doesn't need to be completed at once. You can come back when you have the chance in the future. With this seal, you can come here anytime."

Lin Moyu understood. This was an ultra-long term task.

Lord Wentian didn't require him to complete it immediately. He could do it bit by bit.

Moreover, through the seal, he could come here anytime, which was much more convenient.

Lin Moyu said, "Then junior will try first."

Lord Wentian nodded, "You go. This old man can't stay here long. Be careful, don't be greedy for merit, don't be like the previous one."

"Oh right, some blood rats will condense into Scarlet Blood Essence after death. You can collect it. It might have great use in the future."

"If anything happens, you can also contact this old man through the seal. If this old man is free, I will respond."

After speaking, Lord Wentian's body gradually dispersed, leaving.

From beginning to end, his true body had never come.

Great Dao realm beings couldn't enter the Origin Continent, except for a few special exceptions like the Three Ancestors. Other Great Dao realm beings were all like this.

Even if they came for a short time, they would be expelled by the Dao.

So Lord Wentian who came was just an avatar, both before and now.

Lin Moyu didn't act immediately, but organized all the stories Lord Wentian had told, thoroughly clearing his thoughts.

That prehistoric battle was the God Realm and Black Blood Realm joining forces against the Origin Continent.

The Blood Rat Realm was a vassal of the Black Blood Realm. They participated in lower-level battlefields, while the God Realm and Black Blood Realm's battlefields were higher-level.

The Blood Rat Realm's purpose was to wear down the Origin Continent's living forces, leaving the Origin Continent without successors, weakening the Origin Continent's fortune from the root.

Moreover, there should be more than one garbage world like the Blood Rat Realm.

Lin Moyu thought of the standard-issue battle blades he had seen in the Golden Lion clan's warehouse.

Those were Netherworld realm battle blades, also from prehistoric times.

This showed that there was once a Netherworld realm army on the Origin Continent.

The Netherworld realm was only a mid-to-low level existence on the Origin Continent. Even they participated in the war. The reason could be imagined.

The reason Lord Wentian created the ancient battlefield was firstly to commemorate the Divine Rune Army, and secondly to find cultivators who could come here to deal with the blood rats.

Great Dao realm beings couldn't take action, and the current situation of the Origin Continent wasn't suitable for forming large armies like before.

Individual power became more important, and individual actions were faster, not as easily discovered as large armies.

At the same time, Lin Moyu felt that Lord Wentian must have other purposes.

After organizing his thoughts clearly, Lin Moyu let out a long breath, "Then let's try. At least if it's done well, it's a win-win!"

The Wings of Time vibrated, and Lin Moyu flew towards the Scarlet Blood Dao.
