Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 4129: Outsmarted by His Own Cleverness

No one expected that a filth pool purified by the Soulless Beast could actually be restored. The newly arrived Eternals were already shocked to hear about the Soulless Beast how could a young Dao Lord like Lin Moyu solve a problem that these ancient beings, living for countless years, had never managed to resolve? At first, they didn’t believe it, but after seeing the purified pools, they had to accept it as fact.

All the Eternals had studied the purified pools and unanimously concluded that they could never be reversed. If the purification could be sustained, the wild beast problem would be completely solved.

But now, their judgment was proven wrong: the Beast Emperors could restore a purified pool to its original state.

Lin Moyu was equally surprised, muttering, “Yin and yang reversed, illusion and reality swapped, from one extreme to another so the heavens grow stronger.”

Suddenly, his expression changed sharply. “This is trouble…”

An Yuyan asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lin Moyu said, “That mutated wild beast is smarter than we thought. All these years, he ignored Tun Yuan and the Soulless Beast, letting the Soulless Beast purify the pools. We all assumed he was focused on his own evolution, but that’s not the case. He could have stopped the Soulless Beast at any time, but he deliberately let it purify the pools he was waiting for the Beast Emperors to revive.”

An Yuyan seemed to understand Lin Moyu’s point.

The Lord of Power didn’t get it. “So what? The Beast Emperors just restore the pools what’s the big deal?”

Lin Moyu replied, “Power, look closely. Isn’t there something different about the restored pools?”

The Lord of Power peered at the pool on the screen, puzzled. “Doesn’t look any different to me.”

Old Yin head saw the difference. “They do look different. The restored pools seem more like royal pools now.” At this, the Eternals’ faces changed dramatically.

Space twisted, and three Eternals appeared instantly. They had been watching from their palaces, but couldn’t sit still after hearing Old Yin head’s words.

Lin Moyu continued, “There are 108 filth pools in the Great Wilderness: nine royal pools, ninety nine king pools. It’s not that the Beast Emperors don’t want more royal pools, nor is there a hard limit of nine it’s that they’ve never had the opportunity to create more. It’s like the Gate of Eternity: once closed, reopening it takes many conditions. The pools are the same.”

The Human Emperor, deeply moved, said quietly, “It’s not easy. Otherwise, in all these years, only two have ever opened the Gate of Eternity.”

Lin Moyu went on, “It’s just as hard for a pool to evolve. The nine royal pools have existed since the dawn of the world, not evolved later. The Beast Emperors must know that to devour the Great Dao, they need more Beast Emperors, which means more royal pools. They’ve surely tried before long ago, some Beast Emperors fell, their numbers dropping to six at one point. One was slain by the Spirit Demon Sword Emperor, but the fate of the other two is unknown. Now, it seems likely they died trying to upgrade a pool, but failed. Now, they see a new opportunity. Purified pools have gone from one extreme to another, becoming fundamentally stronger. This is a case of ’extremes meet’ after being purified, the pools are even more powerful. When the Beast Emperors restore them, it’s another leap to the opposite extreme. After two such transitions, the pool evolves.”

“Whether these pools can truly become royal pools remains to be seen, but they’re definitely much stronger now. The beasts they produce may be nearly as powerful as Beast Emperors.”

Lin Moyu’s analysis was logical and irrefutable. The principle of ’extremes meet’ was well understood by the Eternals, but few had achieved it. The Human Emperor had managed it to some extent, but others like Old Yin head, An Yuyan, and the Lord of Power had not. They all knew that reaching the opposite extreme would greatly increase their strength but it was extremely difficult.

The Human Emperor asked, “So what do we do now?”

Lin Moyu replied, “There’s nothing we can do for now. With nine Beast Emperors acting together, plus the mutated beast, we don’t stand a chance even if we join forces.”

The Human Emperor suggested, “What if we cooperate with the Spirit Demon Clan?”

Lin Moyu shook his head. “That’s one option, but they almost certainly won’t agree our goals are different. Previously, they wanted to kill Tun Yuan for their own reasons. Now, with the Beast Emperors and Soulless Beast in the Great Wilderness, they’re not worried. In my view, we don’t need to rush. With Tun Yuan and the Soulless Beast’s abilities, they might be able to fight back. The outcome is far from decided.”

Lin Moyu pointed, and two more images appeared. One showed Tun Yuan slaughtering Dao Wild Beasts, his wings like blades, hacking them to pieces. His skin was like a black hole, devouring all the blood and flesh. Blood rained from the sky, but not a drop hit the ground. With every kill, Tun Yuan grew stronger, now surpassing the Beast Kings and approaching Beast Emperor level. His vitality was so great that even now, killing him would be extremely difficult.

The other image showed the Soulless Beast, calmly purifying Dao Wild Beasts. Under its light, the beasts died silently, their bodies turning to dust and their souls absorbed by the Soulless Beast, which grew ever stronger. The Soulless Beast entered a filth pool, which began to change, shifting from one extreme to another. During this, the Beast Emperors ignored the Soulless Beast, even when close by.

Lin Moyu said, “Once the Beast Emperors finish restoring the remaining pools, they’ll likely target Tun Yuan. To them, he’s the biggest threat, while the Soulless Beast is a catalyst for their evolution harmless, even beneficial.”

“But,” Lin Moyu smiled, “sometimes the clever outsmart themselves. The Soulless Beast isn’t so easy to deal with if left unchecked, the beasts will face their doom. So we don’t need to do anything just watch.”

As the Soulless Beast’s creator, Lin Moyu understood it well and had his own judgment.
