Chapter 4726: All Knowing
Using his own soul as the catalyst, Lin Moyu unleashed in one burst all the power the soul particles had absorbed this time.
Fused into it was his transformed soul force after the merging of real and unreal, it had surpassed ordinary soul power and taken on near tangible substance.
As it erupted, that tangible soul force blanketed the entire Linguistic God World, like throwing a thick quilt over heaven and earth.
"So strong!"
Even Lin was taken aback.
He had expected his soul to be powerful after the fusion, but not to this level.
His soul force could envelope the whole world, and he even felt he could crush the Linguistic God World into dust with his soul alone.
To shatter a world purely with soul force was something even the former peak beings would not dare to imagine.
That was beyond exaggeration; it was outright delusion until now.
The soul force seeped into every gap of the inner world and drilled into its depths.
The Linguistic God World blazed with dazzling light as all the power it had stored erupted at once.
The entire world was "detonated," as though heaven and earth were being replayed from the beginning, and it began to change at a furious pace.
World power grew stronger, the fabric of heaven and earth grew heavier and thicker, and it seemed as though countless springs opened everywhere.
An ocean of Primordial Qi burst forth from every corner.
A faint smile curved Lin's lips.
"It finally worked."
The Linguistic God World had stepped onto a new rung.
Though it had yet to experience its first great calamity, Lin knew it had already become a Seventh Cycle world.
So long as he could rise within it to the level of the strongest, he would be the first peak existence ever to appear in a Seventh Cycle world, surpassing even the mightiest Emperor Po Cang and truly becoming number one.
Yet he was not satisfied.
His ambitions stretched far further; being a peak powerhouse was only a stop along the way, a brief rest before venturing beyond.
The inner world continued to strengthen, its space boiling like a pot of water about to overflow.
Suddenly, Lin saw a stretch of void space outside the world itself.
Within that void, a giant mass of light slowly rose, larger by far than the Linguistic God World.
"That is… the World Wall."
He recognized it immediately.
He had actually seen the World Wall from within his own world.
He awakened the Primordial Stone.
"What is going on?"
"The appearance of the World Wall," the stone answered, "means that the First Cycle Calamity is approaching."
Lin frowned.
"The first great calamity is coming already?"
The Linguistic God World had only been evolving for a relatively short time.
Under normal circumstances, it should not have arrived so soon.
"Your world is rather special, Master," the Primordial Stone replied.
"Both its birth and its strengthening are unusual.
"Perhaps its uniqueness has triggered the World Wall ahead of schedule."
That explanation fit well enough.
"How long, roughly?" Lin asked.
"Normally it should be several thousand years," the stone said, "but in your case it is hard to say.
"It will likely come earlier."
Lin's world and Lin himself were too unusual, and the stone did not dare speak with certainty.
In particular, Lin's actions had already rippled beyond the boundaries of the world.
Lin made a quick calculation in his heart.
"In other words, if I want to raise the Linguistic God World to Ninth Cycle, time is already tight."
The stone might say "several thousand years," but Lin did not believe that at face value.
He felt that at most he had about a thousand years before the first great calamity arrived, deciding his world's life or death.
If the inner world passed that calamity intact, it would become a "living" world and its tier would be fixed thereby.
It could certainly become stronger afterward, and rising from Seventh to Ninth was not impossible, but that route would be fraught with issues.
Seeker of Truth True Monarch had already proven that method was not ideal.
The best path was to push the world to its limit before the life and death calamity, letting it be born as a full Ninth Cycle world.
This had been Lin's plan from the start.
Before, it had seemed there was still ample time; now the urgency was clear.
The appearance of the World Wall was a warning.
Soon after, it faded from sight.
The next time it emerged would be when the world's life and death tribulation descended.
As the Linguistic God World gradually calmed, Lin carefully felt out its changes.
"This transformation raised it from Sixth Cycle to Seventh Cycle," he murmured.
"The world power has grown by roughly a hundredfold."
"Compared to the Primal Chaos Wilds, the Linguistic God World is now at least a thousand times stronger."
"Below the Seventh Cycle, the gulf between different worlds is not that great."
By his estimate, the Wilds lay somewhere between Fourth and Fifth Cycle.
When the Primordial Stone had first called it a Fourth Cycle world, that had not been wrong.
Originally, such a world should have been able to withstand its Fourth Cycle Tribulation, but due to certain special reasons it had been wounded.
Now it could only endure up to the Third Cycle.
Once the Fourth Cycle calamity arrived, the Primal Chaos Wilds would fall into doomsday.
There was, however, a way to avoid this.
"So long as a peak powerhouse emerges in this current great calamity," Lin thought, "I can extend the world's life for it."
He would be able to let the Wilds survive for hundreds of billions of years more.
"With the Linguistic God World this strong, it is time for certain things."
"Big Sis… are you ready to become a peak being?"
Softly speaking to himself, he felt his mood lift; the successful promotion of his inner world marked a major accomplishment and established a firm foundation.
Back inside it, the World Source Spring from the Primal Chaos Wilds converged, and the World Mother Jellyfish surged up to merge with the spring.
Both divine waters shared the same origin, and under Lin's control they fused smoothly into a vast lake.
World power flowed steadily into it, undergoing filtration, dissolution, and purification, and in the end becoming pure world power that mixed into the lake.
"When Big Sis becomes a peak powerhouse," Lin said lightly, "this lake will be the basis for the Primal Chaos Wilds' elevation, extending its life and raising its load bearing capacity."
Once he finished dealing with these matters, he clapped his hands.
"Done. Next step is to keep strengthening the Linguistic God World."
Beside him, the Primordial Stone immediately flattered him.
"Congratulations, Master, felicitations soon you will be the first and only being ever to break through to the peak within a Seventh Cycle world."
"You know very well," Lin replied, "that Seventh Cycle is not my end goal."
"Of course," the stone said.
"Seven Cycles are just the foundation.
"Your ambitions naturally lie far beyond."
Lin's gaze swept over the inner world as he recalled all the soul particles.
The power they had absorbed had been almost entirely spent during this transformation.
Now, in every corner of the Linguistic God World from inside to out, every inch of space and every slice of time his soul mark was present.
He no longer needed even a single conscious thought to know everything taking place within.
Even past events were his to review at will.
As the master of this world, he had become truly all knowing.
"This is what it means to truly hold heaven and earth in hand."
He could not help a sincere sigh from his heart as his eyes fell on the World Tree.
Previously, it had grown a third branch, bearing a total of nine leaves.
Now, after the transformation, three more branches had sprouted, for a total of six.
Each branch's leaves had increased from three to six, giving the tree thirty six leaves in all.
The number of branches and leaves directly determined the little tree's strength.
When its branches and leaves were fully luxuriant, even Lin did not know what heights it might reach.
His gaze was drawn to one particular translucent leaf.
"It's only found one…"
