The Neohuman Alliance was the darkest organization in the Human Domain, and it was also the darkest organization in the Fifth Mainland. Everyone would exterminate it the moment they saw it, and anything that had anything to do with the Neohuman Alliance, regardless of whether it was a region, power, or environment, would be wiped out.
This was the Hall of Honor's mission, and it was an iron-clad order.
Lu Yin had not fully understood it back then, but he did now.
This was the Neohuman Alliance, the deepest darkness of humanity. No, they were not humans, but monsters. Monsters disguised as humans.
"You're also human. Why did you degenerate into a monster?" Lu Yin stared at Silver in disbelief.
A cold glint pierced through Silver's eyes, and he met Lu Yin's gaze. "Ever since I was young, I had a firm belief that as long as I could survive, I would not hesitate to become a monster."
Lu Yin fell silent. This place made him want to vomit, and the entire city made him want to destroy it. The entire Eternal Kingdom should be burned down and disappeared.
Silver smiled. "Do you want to continue the tour, Captain?"
Lu Yin's voice was low. "If possible, I'll destroy this place."
Silver replied, "I believe you, but I also believe that such a day will never come." He paused for a moment and looked at his gadget. "Ready, Captain. Let's go. It's time to join us. Before that, there's someone who wants to see you. Please be respectful."
This city was filled with sunlight, but it hid the deepest darkness of humanity. Lu Yin's entire being felt stifled as he walked through the Eternal Kingdom.
This stifling feeling gave him the urge to vent, and he wanted to destroy everything in front of him. He wanted to destroy those zombies who treated humans like toys and turned this place into a paradise.
"There are many cities in the Eternal Kingdom, and everyone, zombies, and even I, worship that place." Silver pointed into the distance.
Lu Yin looked in the direction he was pointing, and he saw seven dark towers that pierced through the clouds.
He had seen these towers a long time ago.
"Seven, the Seven Skygods?" Lu Yin asked.
Silver smiled and nodded. "The human Progenitors can create mountains and seas, but the Progenitors of our Neohuman Alliance can create the Dark Pagodas. What you see now is seven pagodas, which represent the Seven Skygods. But very soon, you will see eight, nine, ten, and even more pagodas forming a forest. This will be the most spectacular sight of the Neohuman Alliance in the future."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed as he glanced at Silver. This was simply a dream. If the Neohuman Alliance had truly achieved this, then they would have been invincible in the Fifth Mainland a long time ago. The Seven Skygods had at most a power level of over a million and had reached the Celestial Imprint realm. It was impossible for them to reach the Progenitor realm.
Back then, Mister Mu had been able to easily destroy the essence, energy, and spirit that Hei Wushen had attached to the Corpse King. Furthermore, Hei Wushen's attitude towards Mister Mu made Lu Yin certain that the Seven Skygods were at most on the same level as Mister Mu.
With Mister Mu around, Lu Yin still had a sliver of hope in his heart, even if it was very small.
This was the Eternal Kingdom, a place that even the Hall of Honor could not destroy. He had only placed his hopes on Mister Mu to comfort himself. Even if Mister Mu could find this place, could he take him away?
Silver led Lu Yin past mountains and rivers. Silver was right; the environment here was indeed beautiful, so beautiful that it was almost illusory. It was almost as if it had been intentionally created to look so beautiful.
However, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, it could not cover up the darkness.
The seven Dark Towers were not as tightly guarded as Lu Yin had expected, and they were just like a wasteland.
Silver led Lu Yin towards one of the towers.
Lu Yin guessed that it should be Hei Wushen, as he had crossed paths with him three times in the Outerverse. On the third time, Hei Wushen's essence had been destroyed by Mister Mu. Hei Wushen was the most passionate about Lu Yin, and he had even tried to use Ming Yan to force Lu Yin.
However, Lu Yin did not expect to see Hei Wushen. Instead, it was the Sorcerer God who had captured him.
When he saw the strange doll floating in front of him, Lu Yin felt his hair stand on end. He felt as if his life was no longer in his hands, a feeling that he only felt when facing a super powerhouse.
This was one of the Three Dark Hands that stood at the peak of the Fifth Mainland, one of the Seven Skygods that represented humanity's deepest darkness?
"Brother Lu, even if you don't belong to the Neohuman Alliance, you should still show some basic courtesy to an elder when meeting the Sorcerer God," Silver said with a smile.
Lu Yin looked at the doll floating in front of him. "Sorry, I can't show you any respect."
Silver's smile did not change.
The strange doll opened its mouth and let out a strange laugh. "It doesn't matter. Soon, you'll be one of us." It paused for a moment, and then a sizzling sound came from it.
Lu Yin felt as if he had been seen through, and a chill ran down his spine.
The monkey's shadow suddenly appeared and merged into the ground. "Seventh Bro, save me!"
Lu Yin reached out to grab the monkey, but he suddenly could not move. The world spun around him, and everything in front of him went dark. He could not see any light, and he fell to the ground, unable to control his own body.
Suddenly, he saw something, but strangely, there was a deviation in his vision. The scene that he saw was higher than before, and he was shocked to find that his vision had appeared above his nose. He was using his nose to see.
His five senses were in chaos, and Lu Yin immediately thought of this.
In front of him, the shadow behind the strange doll merged into the monkey's shadow, and the monkey screamed, "Seventh Bro, save me!"
"Keke, save you?
This is the Eternal Kingdom. Who can save you? "the doll asked.
Lu Yin stood in place without moving, as he could not move at all. He had lost control of his own body.
He was like a marionette that was at the mercy of the doll.
"Interesting, very interesting. You're actually a shadow?" The doll's strange eyes looked at the monkey, and it let out a strange laugh.
The monkey was frightened, and the shadow kept squirming. "Don't, don't look at me like that. I'm scared."
Silver opened his eyes slightly and stared at the monkey.
Lu Yin also stared at the monkey.
The Shaman Spirit Child circled around the shadow. "Interesting. This god is very interested in you. How about it?
This god will help you break away from that human, and you will join the Neohuman Alliance. "
The monkey suddenly stopped moving.
Lu Yin's brows rose, but he did not speak.
Silver's lips curled up.
The Shaman Spirit Child circled around again, waiting for the monkey's reply.
At this point, Silver spoke up. "Lord Shaman Spirit God, this tamed beast absorbed the blood of a Progenitor in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and it broke through from the Explorer realm to the Hunter realm. It's quite strange."
The Shaman Spirit Child suddenly stared at Silver, and his body trembled. His eyes went slack, and he spat out a mouthful of strange black blood.
"Did This God allow you to speak?" The Shaman Spirit God spoke, and the entire dark tower trembled.
Silver hurriedly lowered his head. "I'm sorry, Lord Shaman Spirit God."
The Shaman Spirit Child retracted his gaze and stared at the monkey. "Keke, you only have one chance. You can choose to join the Neohuman Alliance, and This God will help you remove the taming technique. Otherwise, you will be reduced to ashes."
The monkey was shocked, and he hurriedly said, "I'll join, I'll join."
Lu Yin was not surprised, and he calmly watched everything unfold. Given the monkey's personality, it would be strange if he did not join. Lu Yin did not blame the monkey, as it was a matter of life and death.
The Shaman Spirit Child cackled and stared at Lu Yin. Lu Yin felt his arm burn, and then a heart-wrenching pain that almost caused him to faint.
Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and Lu Yin could not help but crouch on the ground like Silver. Half of his arm had been burned.
The Shaman Spirit Child cackled and faced Lu Yin. "This is what you humans are like. This god will also give you a choice: join the Neohuman Alliance, or live a life worse than death. Your choice."
The monkey's shadow remained motionless.
Lu Yin panted heavily and sneered. "It's not that I'm not afraid of death, but I believe that my value is enough for you to not kill me. How are you going to use me?"
The Shaman Spirit Child laughed. "As expected of someone who could unify the Outerverse. Your temperament is different from the average person's. Do you want to be used?"
Lu Yin helplessly shook his head. "No one likes to be used, but only those who are useful can survive and have a future."
"Your future lies in the Neohuman Alliance," said the Sorcerer God.
Lu Yin fell silent.
The Shaman Spirit Child looked down at Lu Yin. "Actually, This God admires you, and even the Seven Skygods do. If you are willing to serve the Neohuman Alliance and accept the transformation, then with your talent, you might be able to build a Black Tower in the future. Do you still remember that brat from the Outerverse's Amethyst Trading Company?"
Lu Yin's pupils shrank, and he looked at the Shaman Spirit Child.
The Shaman Spirit Child cackled. "He willingly accepted the transformation and was able to cultivate the Corpse King Transformation. His strength increased greatly. Aren't you tempted, kid?
Think about it, you were abandoned by the Hall of Honor. In the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Hall of Honor took away the person on the highest stage, but left you behind. Why?
Because you can't reach that level. "
"Is the Shang Qing really more powerful than you?
More talented than you?
Not necessarily. In This God's eyes, you far surpass the Shang Qing. If he hadn't cultivated the Three Yang Ancestral Qi, how could he have reached that position? Anyone who can reach that position must have some background. Which one of them is like you, someone who fought their way up? Don't you think that's unfair? "
"Don't you think that being abandoned is the greatest tragedy?
So what if you unify the Outerverse?
You were still abandoned. Join us, the Neohuman Alliance, and you will obtain even more powerful techniques. You will surpass the Shang Qing and the Five Children of the Stars, and you will stand at the peak of humanity. In the future, you will have a chance to reach the Progenitor realm. "
It had to be said that the Shaman Spirit Child's words were very persuasive, and Lu Yin was tempted. He wanted to surpass the Shang Qing and the others. Ever since the Three Yang Ancestral Qi's true face had appeared, no one had dared to say that they could defeat the Shang Qing. Lu Yin really wanted to defeat the Shang Qing and shake the universe, but not by relying on the Neohuman Alliance.
Although the Shaman Spirit Child was powerful and his words were very persuasive, Lu Yin felt that it was the opposite. The Shaman Spirit Child's words made Lu Yin want to break free from the Neohuman Alliance even more. He wanted to escape, and he wanted to stand on the highest stage of humanity.
The Neohuman Alliance had left humanity with no future. Without a future, what was the point of defeating the Shang Qing?
What was the point of fame and fortune?
The Eternal Kingdom was like a normal human world. As long as one didn't tear off the oversized outer garments, as long as one didn't see the occasional bloodstains or terrifying chewing sounds, it was a beautiful paradise.
It was a paradise that used beauty as a disguise to hide humanity's darkest secrets.
