Wang Lin had lied to Li Muwan.
There was no way he could protect Li Muwan and prevent Zhou Ru's soul from dissipating at the same time.
If he extracted Zhou Ru's soul prematurely, then this soulless body would produce a sense of death. Even if Li Muwan's Nascent Soul could withstand it, it would have a great impact on her divine sense. In the end, it might even cause her Nascent Soul to collapse.
This was only secondary. The important thing was that if he extracted Zhou Ru's soul prematurely, then the cycle of reincarnation would immediately descend. Because Zhou Ru's body would no longer be covered by her soul, Li Muwan's Nascent Soul would be exposed to the eyes of the heavens.
At that time, Li Muwan's Nascent Soul would not be able to fully recover. Under the influence of the heavens, it would be greatly affected.
The original plan wasn't to let Li Muwan's Nascent Soul occupy the body of a baby. As it grew up, it would gradually produce a soul of Li Muwan's own, allowing her to avoid the heavens.
But now, everything had changed. Aside from devouring Zhou Ru's soul, there was no other way to resolve this.
This answer was a dead end that Wang Lin came up with after thinking for four years.
In his heart, there was no doubt who was more important between Zhou Ru and Li Muwan. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to sacrifice Zhou Ru to awaken Li Muwan.
This choice was very cruel. For Wang Lin, he couldn't bear to do it. However, he was an old monster that had cultivated for more than 500 years. His heart was much harder than an ordinary person's. After four years of thinking, his heart was as hard as steel.
"Zhou Ru, I, Wang Lin, will definitely repay this kindness. After you die, I will let your Zhou Clan prosper for ten generations …" Wang Lin silently said in his heart as he looked at Zhou Ru, who was sitting on a rock in the distance.
As if she had heard Wang Lin's voice, Zhou Ru's body trembled. She turned her head and looked at Wang Lin in the distance. Two streams of tears flowed down from the corner of her eyes and a smile appeared on her face.
The last two years passed day by day. The arrival of the Heavenly Dao was getting closer and closer.
Ever since he came to the moonstar, Wang Lin had never left. Naturally, he didn't know the great changes of the Rosefinch Country in the past few years.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the flames of war were raging in Rosefinch Country!
The Forsaken Immortal Clan sent out four rank 9 shamans. With their power equal to the Ascendant stage, they began a tug-of-war with Suzaku's cultivation country.
At the same time, shocking news came from Suzaku, and most of these news had the word "betrayal" in it.
The leading figures of the cultivation countries and the ancestors of the various sects all betrayed the country of Rosefinch.
In many key battles, due to the betrayal of these cultivation countries and sects, the country of Rosefinch was forced to retreat.
At this moment, a rumor began to spread across Suzaku.
Countless years ago, the Forsaken Immortal Clan had a secret technique. This technique could turn a Forsaken Immortal Clan member into a cultivator by sacrificing a large amount of clan members.
Over the countless years, the Forsaken Immortal Clan had turned a total of nine people into cultivators. Because they didn't have the Forsaken Immortal Clan's body, they weren't sealed. They left the Forsaken Immortal Clan and entered different cultivation sects.
This was the Forsaken Immortal Clan's most powerful killing move!
The current moonstar was much quieter than Suzaku. Two years had passed in a flash. There were only three more months until the deadline.
Zhou Ru hadn't said a word in a year. The amount of time she spent sleeping had increased, and now she was sleeping most of the time every day.
Xiao Bai stayed by her side the entire time, the sorrow in his pair of tiger eyes became more and more intense.
As for Little Purple, it didn't understand any of this. It lay on the side and looked at Little White and Zhou Ru in confusion.
Wang Lin's divine sense was always on Zhou Ru to observe the situation of Li Muwan's Nascent Soul awakening. At the same time, he adjusted the spiritual energy in his body so that he was at his peak at all times to resist the heavens' reincarnation cycle.
His original body in the magma underground was the same. He adjusted himself to his peak state. This time, Wang Lin wouldn't allow himself to fail.
While Zhou Ru was sleeping, she would often murmur, "Uncle, I'm afraid …" However, these words became less and less frequent.
Most of the time, she would mumble some unintelligible words and tears would flow down her cheeks.
The 19-year-old Zhou Ru had grown up. Although she didn't have a peerless beauty, she had a sense of innocence.
During the last month, Zhou Ru slept for a long time.
During this month, she didn't wake up. Li Muwan's Nascent Soul had started to devour her soul.
Little White and Little Purple were sealed by Wang Lin so that they wouldn't affect Li Muwan's awakening. He stayed by Zhou Ru's side and looked at the sleeping little girl. He felt a stabbing pain in his heart.
"Uncle, who are you?"
"Uncle, thank you for saving me …" Uncle, you promised to catch a big tiger for me … "
"Uncle, I'm afraid … Can you take the little person out of my body …"
The scenes of Zhou Ru flashed in his memory.
After a while, Wang Lin let out a long sigh.
The days passed slowly, and the last month gradually passed.
The last day finally came. Wang Lin could clearly feel that Li Muwan's Nascent Soul was about to wake up and it was devouring Zhou Ru's soul.
At this moment, grey clouds appeared in the sky above the Moon Star. The clouds appeared in the blink of an eye and gathered in large numbers.
A gaze suddenly appeared in the clouds. This gaze was very familiar to Wang Lin.
The Heavenly Dao Envoy from nineteen years ago had arrived once again.
The gaze swept past Wang Lin and landed on Zhou Ru. It suddenly emitted a bright glow. At the same time, its giant arm reached out from the clouds and grabbed at Zhou Ru at the speed of lightning.
Wang Lin's eyes flickered. Without saying a word, he leaped into the air, formed a seal with his hands, and pointed forward.
Suddenly, the Life and Death Reincarnation Scroll appeared in the sky. Wang Lin roared, "Scram!"
A dense grey aura came from the Life and Death Reincarnation Scroll and gathered in front of Wang Lin. At this moment, the Heavenly Dao Envoy's giant arm arrived and collided with the grey aura.
BOOM!
A world-shaking sound echoed out. The gray aura emitted by the Life and Death Reincarnation Scroll Painting scattered in all directions, while the giant arm was repelled.
There was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin's eyes and with a thought, cracking sounds came from the ground. His original body chased after the giant arm and mercilessly hit it with his right hand.
BANG!
Another explosion rang out. The earth trembled and the sky collapsed. The giant arm had been destroyed by a single punch from his true body.
Wang Lin's eyes were like lightning as he said, "This time, you still won't be able to take away Li Muwan's soul."
The eyes in the clouds didn't change. However, this time, two arms suddenly reached out from within. These arms had traces of red lightning flowing around them.
Wang Lin's eyes narrowed. This time, the Heavenly Dao Envoy had come again. It was clearly prepared.
Two giant arms suddenly closed in, trying to grab Wang Lin and his original body.
The original body let out a roar and turned into a giant more than 100 feet tall. The three stars between his eyebrows rotated like crazy. He took a step forward and swung his fist at the incoming attack.
BOOM!
A fierce aura exploded out. The true body was covered in red lightning as he was sent flying back. He smashed into a mountain, causing it to collapse and turn to dust.
The giant arm was forced back once more, but this time, it didn't dissipate.
As for Wang Lin, he formed a seal with both hands and pointed forward. The Life and Death Reincarnation Scroll in the sky suddenly shrank and descended from the sky, blocking in front of him.
The giant arm directly grabbed the scroll. It paused for a moment before grabbing it and pulling it back.
Wang Lin's eyes were bloodshot as he shouted, "Tremble!"
The Life and Death Reincarnation Scroll trembled, and a large amount of gray Qi appeared. Sizzling sounds came from the arm, and a white mist rose up. In the end, the arm had no choice but to let go of the scroll and pull back.
The eyes in the clouds mercilessly glanced at Zhou Ru, who was behind Wang Lin. Then they pulled back their arms and tore the clouds in front of them in half, revealing a giant face.
This face looked ordinary, but when you looked at it, you would feel a trace of reverence. It represented dignity.
It coldly stared at Wang Lin and opened its mouth. A gray light flew out, forming a giant wheel. As soon as the wheel appeared, the sky changed and the earth rumbled.
Cracks spread out from where Wang Lin was. In the blink of an eye, everything within tens of thousands of kilometers was filled with cracks.
A large amount of space cracks appeared in the sky. These cracks connected with each other, as if the sky was collapsing.
Wang Lin's expression was gloomy. With a thought, his original body immediately appeared and fused with him. The real Wang Lin appeared.
The giant face did not even look at Wang Lin. It stretched out its arm and pushed the wheel. Suddenly, a strange sound came from the wheel. Following this, the sky and earth were immediately enveloped by a vast power.
Wang Lin's expression changed. He was familiar with this power. It was the reincarnation force.
Just as he was about to move, the reincarnation force in the sky and earth gathered from all directions and landed on Wang Lin's body.
At this moment, the reincarnation force seemed to have turned into a prison, binding Wang Lin's body.
He could not move his body at all. He could not even lift a finger.
At this moment, after the giant hand finished moving the wheel, it reached down at lightning speed. Its target was Zhou Ru.
"No!!!" Wang Lin could not move his body, but his heart was screaming crazily.
He had worked so hard for 19 years just for this day. But now, he could only watch as the hand of the Heavenly Dao was about to land on Zhou Ru and take away Li Muwan's Nascent Soul.
