What was the Immemorial God Realm?
This was a question that almost every cultivator on the Immemorial Astral Continent had for generations. Even Grand Empyreans didn't have an answer to what the Immemorial God Realm was or where it came from.
Although a lot of people had entered the Immemorial God Realm, after they came back, they couldn't even tell what kind of place it was.
Wang Lin looked around. The sky was red. There were no stars, sun, or moon, but there was a soft light. The earth was round.
Here, his Divine Sense was restricted, unable to spread across the entire continent. He could only see the crisscrossing mountain ranges nearby, as well as extremely long cracks and ravines.
Walking on the earth, Wang Lin silently pondered. His eyes were filled with confusion and familiarity as he silently walked forward.
Before him, Wang Lin stopped. He looked down at the crack in the earth. This crack was straight and didn't bend at all, as if someone had cut it open with a sword.
Bursts of black gas came out of the crack and then disappeared. Looking into the depths of the crack, it was completely dark, as if there was nothing there.
Wang Lin silently pondered a bit before stepping forward. He crossed the huge crack and walked further into the distance. Time slowly passed. After an unknown amount of time, Wang Lin saw even more cracks and more mountains. Most of the cracks looked similar; they were all straight, as if they had been cut open by a sword.
"Circular earth …" Wang Lin murmured. His eyes lit up and he slowly flew into the sky. As he flew higher and higher, the outline of the earth under his feet gradually shrank. When Wang Lin stood at the top of the sky, he looked down at the earth below. The sense of familiarity in his eyes became even stronger.
The circular land and the deep ravines and cracks were arranged in a very orderly manner. When they were combined together, it made the circular land look like a compass.
It was a huge compass. The cracks were the scales, and the intersecting mountain ranges naturally formed runes that exuded vicissitudes.
"Compass … A wheel without a pointer … Or rather, the earth of the compass isn't complete, it's missing half."
Wang Lin's eyes revealed a strange light as he looked at the earth. He gradually saw that half of the circular earth was illusory and felt like it wasn't real.
While silently pondering, his gaze swept the earth and finally focused on the center. There was a mountain there, a mountain that towered into the clouds and was covered in seven-colored snowflakes.
Looking at the mountain, Wang Lin revealed a complicated expression. He had seen this mountain in the Ancient Shi ancestral temple when Jidao's soul split.
In the Ancient Shi ancestral temple, he saw a figure holding a body and roaring at the sky, questioning the world. However, there was no figure holding a body on the mountain covered in seven-colored snowflakes. Instead, there was a familiar person sitting there looking at him.
He looked old but not old. His body was filled with seven-colored light and his eyes were filled with excitement. He was someone like Tian Yunzi, the Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign, and Imperial Teacher Dao Ji. Behind this figure was a bridge. One end of the bridge connected the earth and the other end merged with the sky, forming a giant arc.
This bridge looked almost the same as the Heaven Trampling Bridge.
At the place where it connected to the sky, Wang Lin vaguely saw a blurry illusion behind the blood-colored sky.
There seemed to be two figures inside the illusion. They were blurry and impossible to see through.
This scene was exactly the same as the illusion behind the ninth bridge that he had seen on the Heaven Trampling Bridge.
"You're finally here!" Tian Yunzi looked at Wang Lin and laughed.
Wang Lin withdrew his gaze from the bridge and looked at Tian Yunzi. He didn't speak and walked over. A moment later, he stood on the mountain covered in seven-colored snowflakes. He looked at the seven-colored snowflakes falling on his body and around him and let out a sigh.
"The Old Man has been waiting for this day for a long, long time. Wang Lin, all of this is just a dream, but when you come here, your dream will be distorted!" Tian Yunzi laughed and waved his hand.
With this wave, a thunderous rumble echoed across the circular continent. As the rumble echoed, dense, black gas erupted from the cracks on the continent. This black gas flew into the air toward the mountain.
In an instant, this black gas covered the blood-colored sky. The black gas gathered before Wang Lin and behind Tian Yunzi to form a giant figure.
This figure was extremely tall, as if it could support the world. From a distance, this figure was wearing a loose, black robe that covered its face. However, Wang Lin could still recognize that this figure was the same as the Tian Yunzi before him.
"Wang Lin, even though you were a Heaven Trampling cultivator in your previous life, the Old Man is the supreme existence in the Boundary Plate. This is the only place on the Immortal Astral Continent where the Old Man can devour and fuse with you!
"Here, your dream will be distorted. From now on, the Old Man is you!" The giant figure let out a roar that echoed across the area.
"Previous life …" Wang Lin looked at Tian Yunzi and then at the shadow behind him. His expression was calm.
"It looks like you still haven't remembered. Forget it, the Old Man will let you understand everything before you die!"
The All-Seer stood up and took a step back. He fused with the giant shadow and lifted the black robe that covered his face, revealing his demonic face.
"The Immortal Astral Continent doesn't exist, it is just something you created from your dream. In truth, this is a void, a part of the Defying Earth Realm."
"Void …" Wang Lin silently pondered.
"You don't believe me? You, who can't remember your previous life, are extremely pitiful in the eyes of the Old Man!
Wang Lin, the Old Man will tell you that there are four great realms in the universe. This realm is called the Defying Earth Realm!
"Each realm has a treasure, and the treasure of the Defying Earth Realm is the Boundary Compass. It is the only treasure that can destroy space!
"This Tai Ji God Realm is the Boundary Compass of the Defying Earth Realm!"
The eyes of the giant figure formed by Tian Yunzi were filled with excitement.
"As for you, in your previous life, you were the strongest person in the world, a Heaven Trampling stage cultivator. You should have been able to shake the world, but in order to resurrect a woman, you borrowed the Boundary Compass from the protector, wanting to use it to revive your wife!
"You even used your own dream dao spell to spread your true self and reincarnate. You tried to make your dream come true and resurrect your wife inside the reincarnation cycle to reverse the world!
"Even the Old Man was shocked by your crazy actions and thoughts!" The Tian Yunzi looked at Wang Lin and his words echoed.
"So that's what happened. Then who exactly are you?"
Wang Lin closed his eyes and opened them a moment later. He looked at the giant figure and slowly spoke.
"The Old Man is the guardian of the Boundary Compass. You stole it from me back then!
I have a disciple you should know. His name is Mo Zhi! "the Tian Yunzi slowly said.
Wang Lin silently pondered.
The Tian Yunzi's eyes lit up imperceptibly. He raised his right hand and waved it. A portion of the black gas inside his body scattered and formed a black vortex in the sky. Images began to appear inside the black vortex.
"If you still don't believe me, you can take a look with your own eyes!
You can judge whether these images are real or fake. "
Within the black vortex, Wang Lin saw his other self hugging a corpse and roaring at the sky.
He saw his other self, who had failed to resurrect Li Muwan many years ago. His sorrowful expression, his angry voice, and his crazy eyes. "Even if the heavens want you to die, I'll take you back!
"I'm going to shatter this world and break this earth. I'm going to sink into the reincarnation cycle and extract every bit of you from the reincarnation cycle to recreate the next generation … If I don't succeed, then I, Wang Lin, will never awaken. I'll be immersed in the reincarnation cycle with you for eternity …"
Wang Lin looked at the images inside the vortex. The past images appeared in his mind. It was as if these memories had always existed, but he had forgotten them.
Wang Lin was silent for a moment before he looked at the Tian Yunzi and slowly said, "In order to lure me here, you told me that I could resurrect Li Muwan here. Is that true or false?"
"Can it be true? Can it be false?
The Boundary Compass is the only Void Extermination Treasure in the Defying Earth Realm. It can change one to seven blades. However, you won't have the chance to do so. "
Seeing that Wang Lin's expression was still as calm as ever and that his consciousness was not distorted at all, Tian Yunzi hesitated. When he heard Wang Lin's words, he hesitated for a moment and did not act blindly without thinking. He faintly felt that something was wrong.
"What bridge is that?"
Wang Lin raised his right hand and pointed at the bridge that connected the sky and the earth behind the figure formed by Tian Yunzi's black aura.
"The Boundary Compass's Heaven Trampling Bridge is also the true form of the Heaven Trampling Bridge that all living beings in the Defying Earth Realm can sense when their cultivation reaches a certain level."
The bad feeling in Tian Yunzi's heart became even more clear, but he could not figure out what had changed.
Wang Lin faintly smiled as he looked at the All-Seer and calmly said, "Are you hesitating and wondering why my consciousness didn't distort like a sleeping person who is about to wake up and become blurry?"
Tian Yunzi's expression suddenly changed and his huge body retreated a few steps. He stared at Wang Lin and carefully looked at him before revealing a look of disbelief.
"You … No, even if you already know the memories of your previous life, as long as you come to the Boundary Compass, you will awaken from the Dream Dao!!
In the past, you always awakened at this step. This time, it will not be different!
"You are not the guardian, but the missing one …"
Wang Lin looked at Tian Yunzi and slowly spoke.
The moment he spoke, Tian Yunzi's heart skipped a beat.
