Catastrophic necromancer

**Chapter 2800: What I Should Have Thought Of Earlier**

Lin Moyu felt the existence of the power of fate for the first time.

Anyone above the level of a Celestial Sovereign is generally aware of the power of fate and knows that there is a path of fate in this world. However, fate is too elusive to touch or truly feel.

Only some beings with extremely high realms might be able to truly touch a trace of the power of fate. Even if they do, it remains vague and unclear.

Very few can, like Lin Moyu, truly feel the power of fate in a meaningful way.

Feeling the power of fate is both a blessing and a curse. If one can withstand it, it is a blessing. If not, the backlash from fate can be disastrous, potentially fatal.

At this moment, no level of cultivation is of any use. What matters is whether one’s life is tough enough to endure.

Lin Moyu’s mind was clear. The moment the power of fate arrived, he knew everything.

**At this moment, no spell, secret technique, or World Tree could help.**

Perhaps at this moment, there are very few things in this world that can help.

The power of fate hit like a storm, landing on his soul, causing waves of pain.

The pain from the soul is unbearable for ordinary people.

But now, he must endure it. If he gives up, the result will be death.

Lin Moyu trembled all over. He could feel his soul being corroded by the power of fate.

The extremely dense power of fate was like a poisonous drug corroding his soul.

The yellow light bestowed by the Soul Gem could resist various soul attacks, but it was useless against the power of fate.

Anything taken to the extreme will have the opposite effect, and the power of fate is no exception.

**If the power of fate is too immense and cannot be endured, it becomes poison.**

**”No, if this continues, my soul will collapse.”**

“Although I won’t die and can use rebirth to resurrect, this time it will be a true failure.”

“There must be a way. The God-Slaying Sect wouldn’t set it up this way if there were no way out.”

“It’s not a matter of realm. In that era, there must have been something that could help the soul withstand the power of fate.”

Lin Moyu watched as his soul gradually disintegrated, but his thoughts became unprecedentedly clear.

Thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and various methods emerged in his mind.

Finally, Lin Moyu thought of a method.

He raised the Scourge Staff, and his vast soul power surged into the Balance Gem on the staff.

The Balance Gem was the third gem he found. At that time, it trapped Xiao San for many years. But because of it, the power of the two original spirit veins at the boundary generated balance.

If he could activate it, perhaps a balance could be created between his soul and the power of fate.

However, like the other two gems, it was aloof and had never been activated despite many attempts.

The Scourge Staff was only occasionally used to smash things, and the Soul Gem had moved a couple of times.

Now, with no other option, Lin Moyu decided to take a desperate measure and see if he could make the Balance Gem move.

“Move quickly, or I’ll die!”

Lin Moyu’s soul shouted again and again.

The World Tree behind his soul trembled, but it seemed powerless. This was its domain.

The World Tree could only replenish Lin Moyu’s soul power, hoping to help him endure a bit longer.

Despite Lin Moyu’s shouts, the Balance Gem remained motionless.

Lin Moyu even felt a sense of disdain from the Balance Gem, as if it looked down on him.

Seeing his soul about to collapse and unable to use rebirth, Lin Moyu had another idea. A spirit flower fell and enveloped him.

The spirit flower began to heal his soul, but the speed of healing was not as fast as the corrosion.

Moreover, while healing the soul, the spirit flower had to withstand the impact of the power of fate, causing it to deteriorate rapidly.

A single spirit flower lasted less than a minute before exhausting all its power.

Lin Moyu’s soul recovered slightly, but it only bought him a few more minutes.

Lin Moyu thought and summoned a second spirit flower.

This time, before the spirit flower could reach his soul, the power of fate had already blasted it away.

As expected, external forces, unless of a high enough level, were of little help.

Now, it seemed Lin Moyu had only two paths left.

One was to continue enduring the impact of the power of fate and see if he could hold out until the end. If not, his soul would collapse, and rebirth would occur, marking the failure of this fate ascension.

The other was to give up on the fate ascension and choose to fail actively.

Both paths led to failure, which Lin Moyu did not want.

“There must be a third way!”

“The Balance Gem won’t move, what about the Soul Gem?”

Lin Moyu gritted his teeth and rushed towards the Soul Gem…

The Soul Gem had moved before, so perhaps there was a chance this time.

The Soul Gem could protect the soul, so it might be useful.

**Using soul power to impact the Soul Gem, Lin Moyu tried to awaken it.**

But it remained as aloof as the Balance Gem, unmoving.

Lin Moyu felt the same disdain from the Soul Gem, as if it was telling him he was wrong.

“Wrong… wrong where?”

As the situation worsened, Lin Moyu suddenly thought of something.

**”Wrong, really wrong.”**

“The Scourge Staff can’t help me through this. The real key is it!”

He transmitted a thought to the World Tree, “Bring it over!”

The branches of the World Tree flew out, bringing over the immovable Divine Cauldron.

The Divine Cauldron fell beside his soul, and Lin Moyu immediately entered it.

Inside the Divine Cauldron, divine light filled the air, and golden divine power rippled.

As soon as Lin Moyu entered, he was enveloped by the golden light, though part of his soul remained outside.

The golden light formed a barrier, seemingly unwelcoming to Lin Moyu.

However, his soul showed joy.

Under the golden light, the power of fate seemed suppressed, unable to corrode his soul further, halting its collapse.

As the power of fate continued to pour in, the Divine Cauldron erupted with strong golden light. The once fierce power of fate became as docile as a kitten, obediently merging with his soul.

Lin Moyu’s soul began to recover rapidly, continuously absorbing the power of fate. He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he had passed this test.

Once the power of fate fully merged with his soul, his fate would ascend. To what extent, he did not know.

“Indeed, solving this problem couldn’t rely on the Scourge Staff. It wasn’t that it wouldn’t move, but that it was useless if it did.”

“The Divine Cauldron was the key. It once suppressed the nine continents, including countless original spirit veins.”

“Original spirit veins can suppress fate, so naturally, the Divine Cauldron can too.”

“I should have thought of this earlier. How foolish of me!”
