 Chapter 2428: If You Don't Want to Say It, Then Don't

Shui Zhi Heavenly Venerate didn't explain the details of the World Sea decree, because even he wasn't clear about its specific contents.

All those participating in the World Sea decree would follow the orders of the World Sea King at that time, carrying out some special tasks.

Everyone participating in the World Sea decree would keep it confidential.

According to Shui Zhi Heavenly Venerate, the World Sea decree had been issued many times, with countless participants.

Each time, participants were recommended by water domain administrators like himself, usually three to five people from each water domain.

If the people they recommended achieved good results, the administrators would also receive rewards.

Lin Moyu felt that the King issuing the World Sea decree must have some deeper meaning.

What exactly that deeper meaning was, he didn't know.

However, most people who went always came back alive, at worst suffering some injuries, so there was no need to worry too much.

Shui Zhi Heavenly Venerate was being very practical; if it was too dangerous, he wouldn't let Lin Moyu go.

Over the years of knowing each other, Shui Zhi Heavenly Venerate had unknowingly come to regard Lin Moyu as a friend.

Lin Moyu once again threw himself into the life of hunting strange fish. With his greatly increased strength, the speed at which he obtained Origin was far beyond what it had been before.

At the current rate, he could obtain the materials needed for one seventh-grade Origin every 200 days of World Sea time.

Lin Moyu wanted to infuse all his spells with seventh-grade Origin. He had calculated that there were eleven spells in total, including three spells that had already been infused with fifth-grade Origin.

Even if every fusion with seventh-grade Origin was successful, he would still need 2,200 World Sea days.

For the Great World, that meant a full 60,000 years.

This was a long period of time. After 60,000 years, Heavenly Venerates should have been born in the Great World, possibly more than one.

However, Lin Moyu didn't mind. As long as it didn't harm his interests, Lin Moyu wouldn't interfere with them.

He had his own things to do. His goal was far beyond becoming a Heavenly Venerate; he had to lay a solid foundation.

Yu Qingrou and Yu Zhu gradually adapted to the rules of the World Sea. They had already begun preparing to cross over in the World Sea.

Lin Moyu prepared Origin crystals for them. By fusing with Origin power when crossing over, they could make their foundations more solid and pave the way for constructing rule worlds in the future.

Based on his own experience and the advice of Shui Zhi Heavenly Venerate, that old turtle, Lin Moyu planned to have the two of them directly separate from the Great World.

From then on, they would become beings of the Origin Continent, severing all ties with the Great World.

This would be more beneficial for their future development.

After all, with him around, the Origin they needed for cultivation in the future wouldn't be a problem at all. They didn't need to rely on the Origin of the Great World.

Time passed day by day. Lin Moyu's life in the coming days was simple yet fulfilling.

The strange fish in the World Sea seemed endless. He killed batch after batch.

The World Sea was filled with Origin power. Origin power would evolve into large schools of fish. As long as Origin power didn't run out, the fish would never disappear.

Lin Moyu could now move 400,000 meters away from the Great World, still 100,000 meters away from the extremely dangerous area Shui Zhi Heavenly Venerate had mentioned.

He had tried sending Skeleton Kings in to explore, but once they went beyond 500,000 meters, the Skeleton Kings would lose contact with him.

That feeling was as if they had entered another world.

After trying a few times, Lin Moyu could only give up.

That place was not somewhere he could explore for now. Even Shui Zhi Heavenly Venerate had almost failed to come back from there. Although Lin Moyu was confident in his abilities, he wasn't blindly so.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, more than 500 days had gone by.

For the Great World, over 15,000 years had passed.

Lin Moyu had returned a few times during this period and found that the changes in the Great World were not too significant.

Supreme Hao, Heavenly Supreme, and Battle Supreme had finally advanced another step, reaching mid-level Supreme.

However, geniuses kept emerging among the human race, with more and more talents catching up.

Now there was a large batch of newly ascended Saint Venerates in the human race, with over a hundred more Supremes.

That mid-level Supreme from before, after 15,000 years, was now approaching peak Supreme.

These people were born in a good era, with more solid foundations. It was only natural for them to surpass Supreme Hao and the others.

This was a sign of the Great World's prosperity and should have been a good thing.

Unfortunately, their strong power had given them a desire for authority.

This desire grew more obvious as their strength increased.

They repeatedly expressed their wish for the Human Emperor to hand over control.

However, the forces led by Heavenly Supreme Hao Supreme disagreed.

The two Supremes wouldn't sit idly by either. They were also secretly nurturing batch after batch of geniuses, replenishing their own forces to contend with them.

The Great World was no longer as united as before.

When Lin Moyu returned, he didn't alert anyone but went directly to find the Human Emperor.

The Human Emperor had two Heavenly Venerate-level Revived Ones in hand. If anything happened, he could suppress it for now, so there was no problem.

Over the past 500 days, Lin Moyu had collected a large number of Origin crystals, but he couldn't fuse them.

Since forcibly fusing spells before, [Infinite Fusion] had once again fallen silent, entering a dormant state, and hadn't awakened yet.

In this state, he couldn't fuse Origin crystals.

Lin Moyu didn't know how to speed up [Infinite Fusion]'s recovery. The soul power provided by the World Tree seemed to have little effect.

After much thought, only high-grade spiritual materials would have an effect.

But high-grade spiritual materials were not easy to find. He had already asked Shui Zhi Heavenly Venerate to look for them, but there had been no news so far.

Now Lin Moyu could only collect low-grade Origin crystals first, waiting for [Infinite Fusion] to recover.

600 days later, Lin Moyu had gathered the materials needed for the third seventh-grade Origin.

[Infinite Fusion] was still the same, still sleeping.

Shui Zhi Heavenly Venerate swam over, reeking of alcohol.

Lin Moyu asked, "Senior, how did it go?"

Shui Zhi Heavenly Venerate shook his head, "I asked the administrators of several nearby sea areas, but none of them have high-grade spiritual materials."

Lin Moyu's eyes showed slight disappointment. It seemed high-grade spiritual materials were not easy to find.

Shui Zhi Heavenly Venerate changed the subject, "However, I heard about something else. This World Sea decree is about to come out. It's said that high-grade spiritual materials might appear there."

"Wait a bit longer. If it really doesn't work out, you can ask the King."

"The King definitely has some. As long as you can achieve good results, you might be able to exchange for one."

Lin Moyu nodded, "How long until the World Sea decree comes out?"

Shui Zhi Heavenly Venerate said, "The timing of the World Sea decree is never fixed. It generally appears once every 800 to 1000 years. The last time it appeared was 898 years ago."

Lin Moyu nodded, "Then I'll wait a bit longer."

Shui Zhi Heavenly Venerate was somewhat puzzled, "Spiritual materials are generally used to nurture spirit tools and formation spirits. What do you want them for?"

Lin Moyu casually replied, "To brew wine."

Shui Zhi Heavenly Venerate snorted, "Get lost! If you don't want to say it, then don't!"

Lin Moyu laughed heartily, tossing him two jars of wine. Only then did Shui Zhi Heavenly Venerate leave, satisfied.

The hunting continued. Lin Moyu didn't stop for a moment, never slacking off.

Another hundred or so days passed. Suddenly, a strange aura came from afar, like streaks of light, sweeping across vast areas of the sea along the clouds in the sky.

Beams of light fell from the sky, shining into the World Sea, illuminating it brightly.

For a moment, Lin Moyu had the illusion of seeing the sun through the clouds.

Shui Zhi Heavenly Venerate appeared immediately, "Get ready, the World Sea decree is about to arrive!"
