Lu Yin's eyes flashed, and he raised a hand to summon a platform that slowly rotated. The Giant Emperor's brand was engraved on it, and it looked ancient.
When Bai Shaohong saw the platform, he was stunned, as if he had been struck by lightning.
"How is it? Can you prove my identity?"
Lu Yin asked coldly. This was the most important piece of evidence to prove his identity. No matter how he had guessed before, there had been no direct proof that he was from the exiled Lu family in this region of space.
He wanted to confirm his identity through Bai Shaohong and understand the situation back then. Since he had been exiled, there was a chance that he could be brought back. Although the chances were slim, as long as there was a chance, Lu Yin would not give up.
When Bai Shaohong saw the General Roll Call Platform, he was dumbfounded. He had received a huge blow, and he slowly looked up at Lu Yin. It was as if this was the first time he was seeing him.
His gaze was strange, filled with disbelief and nostalgia, but most of all, hatred, jealousy, and … fear.
"I know who you are! Hahahaha! You're back! You're really back! Hahahaha!" Bai Shaohong laughed crazily as he stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin grabbed him by the collar. "Then tell me who I am."
Bai Shaohong laughed. "I'm not stupid. You don't have any memories, and you don't know anything about the Lu family. You don't know where you came from, who is waiting for you, or who is your enemy. Hahahaha! You don't know anything! Do you know why you're still alive?
It's because you're the saddest person alive! Hahahaha! "
Lu Yin clenched his fists and stared into Bai Shaohong's eyes. "I don't think I'm sad. You're in my hands."
"As expected of you, you actually managed to fight your way back. But it's useless, as everything is set in stone. No matter what you do, you can't resist. You're a stowaway now, and it looks like those ants in the Abandoned Land support you. So what?
Even if they gather the entire Abandoned Land and fight their way to this region of space, so what?
You can't resist the Frigid Immortal Sect. You can't resist my sister, just like your brothers. "Bai Shaohong suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and his body split apart. He had committed suicide.
Lu Yin had not expected Bai Shaohong to commit suicide. He released his grip and watched as the corpse fell to the ground.
As the Junior Patriarch of the Frigid Immortal Sect, he was extremely proud and arrogant. Just now, he had tried his best to save his life, and even put down his dignity to ask for peace. But now, he had directly committed suicide, which showed how much he had suffered.
Only when facing someone of the same level, or even someone of a higher level, would they commit suicide. This was a common problem for such peerless figures.
In Bai Shaohong's eyes, Lu Yin had been nothing more than an ant in the Abandoned Lands. Even if he had the Death God's inheritance, Lu Yin was still nothing in his eyes. In his eyes, Lu Yin was only worth one thing: take. Bai Shaohong wanted to take everything from Lu Yin, including his origin item, secret techniques, and the Death God's inheritance.
However, everything had changed the moment the Battle Platform had appeared. Bai Shaohong had let go of his arrogance and insufferably arrogance. He had given up on threatening Lu Yin and given up on seeking peace. His status had completely reversed, and he had looked at Lu Yin with more fear than hatred. Thus, he had chosen to commit suicide.
He knew that the moment the Battle Platform had appeared and Lu Yin had told him that his surname was Lu, he had no way out. Suicide was his only choice, as he didn't want to die at Lu Yin's hands.
That's right, the General Appointment Platform. Lu Yin's face turned cold, and he looked at Bai Shaohong. "In my name, I appoint a general." As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Shaohong's image was imprinted onto the General Appointment Platform.
Lu Yin looked at Bai Shaohong's corpse, his words echoing in his mind.
He had revealed his surname to confirm his identity, and now, he had indeed obtained a lot of information. He had also confirmed his identity, but there were still many questions that he had yet to ask.
The Lu family, the Four Cardinal Scales, and the white dragon turning over — these were just a small part of the truth, but there were even more mysteries.
Bai Shaohong had said that it was the Lu family's day of celebration. It was precisely because of this celebration that all the Lu family members had gathered and the Lu family had been exiled. So why the celebration?
Who had directed all of this? Who had facilitated the Four Cardinal Scales to join forces?
Someone had to be in cahoots, otherwise, how could the Four Cardinal Scales have joined forces so easily?
Even if the white dragon had turned over, how could it have pushed the Lu family away?
If the Lu family had been able to force the Four Cardinal Scales to join forces, then their strength was definitely above the Four Cardinal Scales.
Did they not have the ability to retaliate?
What about the others?
For example, what role did the Liu family and the seed garden play?
Why was Bai Shaohong so certain that he had lost his memories?
Was the seal that he had encountered during his breakthrough related to this? Who had sealed him?
There were too many things that Lu Yin wanted to know, and what he wanted to know the most was the identity of the enemy. Who was the one who had orchestrated the Lu family's exile?
This region of space contained too many of his secrets.
After thinking about it for half a day, Lu Yin finally exhaled and imprinted all of the information he had learned into his mind. He then looked at his cosmic ring, but there was no point in thinking about it now. The truth would have to be investigated in the outside world, and the most important thing right now was the spoils of war.
Bai Shaohong's cosmic ring contained tens of millions of star essence, and these people's star essence provided Lu Yin with about 300 million star essence. Although it wasn't much, it wasn't a small amount either.
Lu Yin looked at the fruit that had been stored in a box made of some sort of crystalline material. He felt an indescribable sense of familiarity, but he couldn't recall where he had seen this fruit before.
If he had, then his memories would have been sealed as well.
He put the fruit away and swept his gaze across the box. He saw a red flower that was alluring and beautiful. Lu Yin's body trembled; it was this flower.
His die's Six Pips had entered someone's body when he had tried to search through the Lu family's memories. That person's head had exploded, and the last thing he had seen was a sky filled with red flowers. This was the flower he had been referring to.
Lu Yin looked at the alluring red flower, but he didn't know why Bai Shaohong was wearing it. He could only put it away for now. Finally, he took out a square metal plate from Bai Shaohong's many other items. There were four lines on it; this was a sourcebox array.
Lu Yin was very sure that this metal plate was a sourcebox array, and the four lines were very familiar. This feeling … could it be Split the Heavens?
Had someone sealed Split the Heavens into a sourcebox array?
If that was the case, then that person's attainments in array formations were too high. Lu Yin felt a wave of fear. Fortunately, Bai Shaohong had not used this power vessel, or else Lu Yin might not have been able to withstand the attack. Even using the walnut power vessel would take time, and Split the Heavens would not have given him that time.
Lu Yin put the cosmic ring back on Bai Shaohong's finger and then organized the spoils of war that he had obtained from everyone.
There were about 300 million star essence, and the most valuable items were the tribulation crystal pillars, the origin artifact, the knife and hairpin that Wang Su had given him, the spear that Longtian had given him with the green gelatinous substance attached to it, Xia Shenfei's doll, and Bai Shaohong's metal plate sourcebox array. There were also the four junior ancestors' tokens and various other strange items.
There were more than 200 pieces of white paper, but Lu Yin did not know what they were used for. Bai Shaohong and the others …
There were also some of them.
After organizing the items, Lu Yin sighed with emotion. He had obtained many things from this trip to the Ruler's Realm, such as the tribulation crystal pillars and the battle technique 'When Things Reach Extremes'. He wondered what Xia Shenfei's doll was like. If it was not bad, then he could replace his universal armor.
Lu Yin continued to merge his consciousness into the corpse and carried himself. He then dragged Bai Shaohong back to the Meditative Ruins and placed Bai Shaohong in the same position as the others so that no one would be able to tell that he was dead. Lu Yin then began to drag Obscurer and the others to the edge of the Meditative Ruins.
Obscurer, Wu Taibai, Shangqing, and Liu Tianmu all looked at Yao Xuan. Should they drag this guy out?
Lu Yin hesitated for a moment, but eventually decided to drag him out. After all, this guy had used a divine explosion to awaken him during the previous battle. Otherwise, his injuries would have been even more severe.
There were a total of five people, and all of them were at the edge of the Meditative Ruins.
Lu Yin placed the corpse to one side and returned his consciousness to his body. He then dragged all five of them out of the Meditative Ruins.
The moment they left the ruins, all five of them woke up and subconsciously left their original positions.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "We're safe."
The five of them stood some distance away from each other and looked at each other. They then looked at Long Tian and the others in the Meditative Ruins before finally looking at Lu Yin.
"You're not affected by the Meditative Ruins?" Wu Taibai was shocked.
Lu Yin looked at him. "You're from the Shenwu Plane. Why did you help us?"
Yao Xuan added, "I find it strange as well. Xia Shenfei said that you betrayed the Shenwu Plane. What did he mean by that?"
Wu Taibai shrugged. "It's not considered betrayal. It's just that we have different aspirations. You've all seen the attitude of this universe towards the Fifth Mainland, but I don't think so. The Fifth Mainland has an inheritance that this universe is missing, and it's only there that we can obtain certain inheritances. If I stayed in the Shenwu Plane, I could only be Xia Shenfei's junior brother. That's why I left."
"Just because of that?" Lu Yin did not believe him.
Wu Taibai asked, "What do you think?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "How did you get to the Sixth Mainland?
And how did you become the Martial Ancestor's disciple? "
Wu Taibai leaned against the wall. "Brother Lu, are you interrogating me?
Don't forget that I just helped you. I never harmed you from start to finish. "
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. Even Bai Shaohong did not know the locations of the three gates, so it was even more impossible for Wu Taibai to know. Then, how had he gotten to the Fifth Mainland?
Wait, how had he gotten to the Sixth Mainland?
The Fifth and Sixth Mainlands, the Technocracy, and the Wang family. Lu Yin seemed to understand something, but this was Wu Taibai's problem. "What's the Meditative Ruins?"
The others were curious as well, as they had been unable to resist at all.
Wu Taibai glanced around and said apprehensively, "The Wang family has a battle technique called the Meditative Realm. As the name suggests, it can cause an enemy to forget everything, as if they're just a shell. Complete mastery of the Meditative Realm is the Meditative Ruins, and this power can be applied to a certain area." He then looked at the nearby corpse. "Of course, someone needs to activate it. If I'm not wrong, that corpse is the key to activating the Meditative Ruins."
Invisible Light and the others had long since discovered the corpse. It was obvious that Lu Yin could control it, which made them feel strange.
