**Chapter 2308: Tell My Comrades, Iron Bull Never Retreated**
With a single punch, the remnant soul was shattered. The Mighty Heavenly Sovereign pointed at Lin Moyu, and a ray of light fell upon him. Numerous images flashed before Lin Moyu's eyes, revealing everything to him.
The Mighty Heavenly Sovereign was not skilled in speech, so he used this method to convey his past to Lin Moyu.
The Mighty Heavenly Sovereign had long been dead. The coffin was empty, and the figure in the light was merely his will.
Perhaps there was a trace of his remnant soul, but it was so faint that even Lin Moyu couldn't sense it.
At that time, the Mighty Heavenly Sovereign transformed himself into a fist, perishing together with the people of the Black Blood Great World, using his Heavenly Sovereign-level Rule World to absorb them all.
Within the Rule World, the final battle erupted.
The Rule World was the strongest means of a Heavenly Sovereign. Within it, the Heavenly Sovereign could unleash the most powerful force.
The battle within the Rule World nearly shattered it. Only two of the Black Blood Great World's powerhouses barely escaped, while the rest were all killed.
The Mighty Heavenly Sovereign died then, his body and soul nearly dissipated, leaving only his will.
Part of his will scattered within the Rule World, continuously replaying his path to seeking the Dao.
Another part of his will replaced his bones, burying himself in the coffin.
What Lin Moyu did within the Rule World was akin to inheriting the will of the Mighty Heavenly Sovereign, becoming his successor in a way.
The remnant soul seen earlier was not the remnant soul of the Mighty Heavenly Sovereign but the remnant soul of the world spirit within the Rule World.
A Heavenly Sovereign's Rule World could create living beings, though not out of thin air but with the help of external objects.
The Mighty Heavenly Sovereign only practiced boxing and was lazy in other aspects. He casually created a living being to help manage the Rule World, which became the world spirit.
However, like the Mighty Heavenly Sovereign, the world spirit was not good at managing the Rule World.
The Mighty Heavenly Sovereign only practiced boxing and didn't care about it.
In that great battle, the Mighty Heavenly Sovereign died, and the world spirit was severely injured, leaving only a remnant soul.
The remnant soul initially had no consciousness, but after many years of evolution, it regained consciousness.
The newly born consciousness was incomplete and lacked much wisdom, but it could manipulate part of the power within the Rule World.
The entire ruins were primarily governed by the subconscious will of the Mighty Heavenly Sovereign and managed by the remnant soul of the world spirit.
The Mighty Heavenly Sovereign said, "Thank you for awakening me. I didn't expect to find a successor before I completely dissipated."
"I couldn't protect the human race; I wasn't a qualified Heavenly Sovereign."
"But seeing you, I know the human race still exists. It's truly fortunate."
Lin Moyu looked at the Mighty Heavenly Sovereign, trying to appear relaxed, "Rest assured, the human race is doing well."
He didn't tell the Mighty Heavenly Sovereign about the hardships the human race had endured or the impending dangers the Great World faced.
The Mighty Heavenly Sovereign was already gone. In his final moments, there was no need to make him worry further.
The Mighty Heavenly Sovereign said, "Your potential is greater than mine. You will surely become stronger than me in the future."
"I have nothing in this life, only this Rule World to leave for the human race!"
"But this Rule World is already quite tattered."
His words carried a hint of helplessness and a trace of unwillingness.
The Mighty Heavenly Sovereign had deep feelings for the human race. With a pure heart, he reached the position of Heavenly Sovereign.
Lin Moyu felt the entire ruins glowing, filled with the will of the Mighty Heavenly Sovereign.
This was his world, and he had absolute control over it.
The Rule World shrank amidst the rumbling. Moments later, it became the size of a fist.
At this moment, the will of the Mighty Heavenly Sovereign was about to completely dissipate, marking his true death.
The Mighty Heavenly Sovereign said loudly, "I entrust this Heavenly Sovereign-level material to you. I hope you can continue to fight with it, as if I were still on the battlefield."
"If you have the fortune to meet my comrades, tell them, Iron Bull never retreated!"
With these words, the Mighty Heavenly Sovereign turned into dust, dissipating into the starry sky.
The Rule World transformed into a fist-sized object, resembling iron.
Lin Moyu sighed deeply, whispering, "Senior, farewell!"
The last words, "Iron Bull never retreated," were heart-wrenching.
Indeed, he never retreated, not a single step, protecting the vast star domain behind him.
A surge of anger welled up in Lin Moyu's heart. He said solemnly, "Rest assured, I will convey your message. And I will ask them what they were doing at that time, why they let you face it alone."
The Mighty Heavenly Sovereign was nothing like what Mu Nan'er had said, falling into the Black Blood Great World's trap due to carelessness.
He single-handedly blocked the Black Blood Great World's army.
Yet such a person was rumored to have fallen into a trap due to carelessness.
Whether Mu Nan'er heard wrong or there were other reasons, Lin Moyu would find out if he ever met the other Heavenly Sovereigns.
Holding the last relic of the Mighty Heavenly Sovereign, Lin Moyu almost couldn't hold it due to its terrifying weight.
A small, round material contained the entire Rule World of a Heavenly Sovereign, making it incredibly heavy.
Heavenly Sovereign-level materials were rare even in ancient times.
It wasn't a world crystal. When the Rule World transformed into material, Lin Moyu felt the primordial power.
The Mighty Heavenly Sovereign returned all the primordial power from his Rule World to the Great World, returning it to its origin. This was the true Heavenly Sovereign.
Lin Moyu respected his actions and didn't stop him.
After returning all the primordial power, the essence of the Rule World condensed into this material.
Its grade was higher than that of a Rule God Stone.
If the human race had a Heavenly Sovereign-level artifact refiner or a peak Supreme-level refiner, they could use this material to create an extremely powerful treasure.
This treasure would carry the will of the Mighty Heavenly Sovereign and fight for the Great World once more.
Unfortunately, the current human race had no Supreme-level artifact refiners, not even half-step Supreme-level ones.
This material was destined to gather dust.
Holding the material, Lin Moyu whispered, "Although the human race lacks a suitable refiner, I have a way to make you continue fighting."
"I hope my method won't disgrace you!"
Resolutely, Lin Moyu summoned a flame in his palm.
A spell he hadn't used for many years was cast once more.
White Star-level Spell: Summon Elemental Lich!
This spell hadn't been used for a long time due to the lack of suitable materials.
Now, with the Heavenly Sovereign-level material in hand and no suitable refiner, Lin Moyu could only think of his own spell.
Transforming the material into an undying Elemental Lich, as long as he lived, the Elemental Lich would always exist.
The material slowly melted in the flame, and Lin Moyu knew his idea was correct; it could be summoned.
"I wonder what kind of Elemental Lich will be summoned with Heavenly Sovereign-level material."
"Based on past experience, it should at least be a Supreme."
"Although I didn't obtain the Heavenly Sovereign's remains, I gained ancient body-strengthening techniques and the boxing techniques of the Mighty Heavenly Sovereign, which is already a great harvest."
"I will do my best; the rest is up to fate!"
Lin Moyu comforted himself and waited quietly.
The high-grade material melted slowly, and Lin Moyu wasn't in a hurry.
The flame burned for ten days, finally melting the material completely.
Terrifying power surged from the flame, and mysterious rules descended, falling into the flame.
