Lu Yin solemnly replied, "Regardless of whether or not I can fix it, I still have to give it a try. When I fixed the sourcecone at the second base, everyone thought that it was impossible, including Master Zan and even Master Deng Guo. But in the end, I still managed to fix it. Red Ray, I also want to give it a try. The sourcebox array was repaired during the battle at the second base."
"You're an origin array master?"
Mister Guo was shocked, and Zhou Tang and the rest had not expected this. Lu Yin's battle prowess was already heaven-defying, but no one had expected him to be an origin array master as well.
Che Zhan was the closest to Lu Yin, and he asked in surprise, "Right, the way you moved during your battle with the Corpse King seemed to be a sourcebox array, right?"
Lu Yin nodded.
"Can … Can we really return alive?"
Someone asked, full of hope. No one wanted to wait for death, as it was an unbearable feeling, even if they could face it calmly.
Lu Yin's gaze was resolute. "I don't know, but we still have to try."
Mister Guo hesitated. "Song Shi and the others fixed the sourcebox array before the second base was abandoned, but it was destroyed again. Now that the second base has fallen, the sourcebox array has been damaged even more severely, and it's possible that the sourcebox that was set up here has been lost."
"I want to try," Lu Yin said resolutely.
"Yes, Brother Long Qi, give it a try."
"Brother Long Qi, please. It's better than waiting for death."
"Brother Long Qi, if we can return alive, I'll repay your kindness for the rest of my life."
…
"Long Qi, you go and try. Leave this to us," Hongge said as he looked at Mister Guo and the rest.
Mister Guo nodded. "Let's try."
Che Zhan smiled. "Why didn't you think of this earlier? Brother Long Qi, go ahead. The sourcebox array isn't too far from here."
Lu Yin took out the small knife and universal armor from his cosmic ring and tossed them to Che Zhan, who caught them in shock.
"Don't die before I return," Lu Yin said before heading off in another direction.
Che Zhan was stunned as he caught the two items with a complicated expression. These two items were extremely valuable, but more importantly, in this new continent, these items represented their lives.
Che Zhan looked at Zhou Tang.
Zhou Tang's lips curled up. "Do as he says."
Mister Guo sighed in admiration. "This kid is bold, righteous, and has an inextinguishable will. If he doesn't die from this calamity, he'll definitely shake the universe in the future. If he can return alive, I'll definitely be able to see the day when he suppresses the universe."
Although the others didn't say anything, it was clear from their gazes that they were all thinking the same thing. Lu Yin had given them too much of a shock, and all of their lives had been entrusted to him. This debt of gratitude was too heavy.
Lu Yin, on the other hand, was very relaxed. This new continent was like his backyard right now, and with the Witch Spirit God's protection, who would dare to touch him?
Lu Yin looked around and then confirmed a certain direction. That direction was filled with chaotic danger from the sourceboxes, which was where the sourcebox array was located. Was that red light?
Another new sourcebox array, and he wondered to what extent the Witch Spirit God had repaired it.
Once this sourcebox array was activated, the ground, sky, and even the void would be enveloped by the red light, and anyone who touched it would die. To these monsters, the red light was something that they abhorred, and countless Corpse Kings had been sacrificed to it. If possible, the Witch Spirit God naturally did not wish to repair the red light. However, if he did not repair the red light, then how would Lu Yin and the others survive to meet up with the human army in the new continent?
If they didn't meet up with the humans, how would they escape?
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
The red light was their only hope.
Lu Yin observed the red light and carefully approached it. What he saw was not a damaged sourcebox array, but an inactive one. The Witch Spirit God had actually repaired it and left it to him.
Although it had been repaired, he still needed to study it before he could activate it and operate it freely. That was where the die came in. Right now, all he had to do was memorize the rules of the sourcebox array and then enter the Time Stop space to study it.
In the distance, Marquis Qing Zhu watched Lu Yin study the red light, and a hint of helplessness appeared in his green-tinged scarlet eyes. This new continent had actually allowed a human to be so free and unfettered, and he even had the time to study sourcebox arrays. Furthermore, this sourcebox array was specifically designed to deal with them. This feeling was truly disgusting.
And that sourcebox array had actually been repaired by one of the Seven Skygods. No one would believe him if he told others about it. He couldn't help but think that no one in the Astral Tree Realm would believe him if someone tried to falsely accuse Long Seven of this!
The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he felt. He moved his finger, and an Envoy-level Corpse King charged out and continued its attack.
Che Zhan was the one blocking the Corpse King.
Lu Yin looked up at the underground entrance. Was it starting again?
It really didn't stop for even a moment. If he didn't act, then Che Zhan and the others would be in danger. The Sorcerer Spirit God didn't care about their lives, but he had left his universal armor and dagger behind. With their abilities, they should be able to hold on.
Lu Yin continued to stare at the red light. After several days, he finally managed to memorize the array of the sourcebox array, which was very complicated. Fortunately, he had mastered several sourcebox arrays and had even studied the source awl before. Otherwise, he would have been completely confused.
Lu Yin sat down cross-legged and distorted the void around him. He raised a hand, and a General Appointment Platform appeared. Then, the die appeared within the platform. This way, the Sorcerer Spirit God wouldn't be able to see it. Even though he didn't know if the Sorcerer Spirit God was watching, it was never wrong to be cautious.
The Sorcerer Spirit God wasn't watching Lu Yin, but Marquis Qing Zhu was.
When he saw Lu Yin take out the platform, he was shocked. Someone from the Lu family?
A bolt of lightning flashed through his mind, and he realized that this person was from the Lu family. No wonder the Sorcerer Spirit God had said that this person could stir up the entire Astral Tree Realm. How could the Four Way Scales give up on the appearance of a direct descendant of the Lu family?
How could a descendant of the Lu family give up?
Marquis Qing Zhu sighed. "I never thought that someone from the Lu family would still be alive. The entire Lu family is a threat, but a direct descendant of the Lu family only has a slightly stronger innate gift. Stirring up the Astral Tree Realm with you is indeed a good plan."
He didn't see the die, as it was hidden beneath the platform.
Lu Yin tapped it, and the die slowly spun. He pursed his lips, but he didn't see anything fall out. He stored it in his cosmic ring and continued to tap it.
This time, things went smoothly. Four o 'clock, Time Stop Space.
The scene before Lu Yin's eyes changed, and he entered a grayish-white space to study the red light.
…
Lu Yin appeared on a new continent, but only a second had passed, and Marquis Qing Zhu didn't even notice anything strange.
To a Half-Ancestor, a second was a long time, but if one didn't pay special attention to it, even a second would be very short. His attention had been focused on figuring out Lu Yin's identity and how to stir up the Astral Tree Realm in the future, so he hadn't noticed that one second.
But even if he had noticed, Lu Yin wasn't afraid. His innate gift was inconceivable, but it was almost impossible to understand it. When he had fought against Qingyu on Earth, he had also used the die to enter the Time Stop Space to recover from his injuries. Mira had seen it and thought that it was a healing innate gift.
At that time, the gap between him and Mira was the same as the gap between him and Qing now.
(This chapter isn't finished. Please turn the page.)
The gap between Zhu and Marquis Qing Zhu was about the same, and they were both at a level that couldn't be bridged.
Che Zhan fought bitterly, and he wasn't a match for the Corpse King. If not for his universal armor's sturdy defenses, he would have died. Halfway through the battle, Hongo, Old Mother Eastmountain, and Mister Guo took turns blocking the Corpse King's attacks. They held out for several days until Lu Yin returned.
When Lu Yin returned, the Corpse King actually turned around and left, leaving Che Zhan and the rest stunned.
"Even monsters are afraid?"
Someone was shocked, and everyone looked at Lu Yin strangely. This person's appearance had completely overturned their worldview.
"Long Seven, how's the red light?" Hongo asked.
Everyone stared at Lu Yin nervously, finding it difficult to breathe. Life and death would be determined by the next sentence.
Lu Yin took a deep breath and smiled. "It's done."
Everyone was stunned, unable to believe their ears, and they fell silent.
Zhou Tang stared at Lu Yin. "You repaired the red light in just a few days?"
Lu Yin replied, "It wasn't me, but Song Shi and the others. The sourcebox array had already been repaired, but it was damaged again. The second array fell, so Song Shi and the others had to give up on repairing it. Fortunately, the second array didn't damage the red light, so I only repaired it a little. I was lucky."
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, as this made sense. They then became excited, as if they had been reborn. They looked at Lu Yin with eyes full of gratitude and reverence.
"We can use the red light to find the Victorious Army," Mister Guo sighed.
The Victorious Army was the only human force in the New World, and they knew that it was just a group of cultivators. According to the legends of the Cosmic Tree Realm, there was a human city in the New World that represented humanity's hope. The city was called New City, and the army stationed there was known as the Victorious Army. In reality, anyone who knew about the Victorious Army would only call them the Lost Army. They were the lost army.
No one was willing to be trapped in the New World and wait for death. The Lost Army was like the Alliance, and they were all people who had been sent here. Very few of them had been sent here willingly, and most of them had offended the Four Libras.
"Where's the Victorious Army?" Hongo asked, looking at Mister Guo.
"Let me think about it," Mister Guo replied.
Zhou Tang raised a hand and pointed east. "That direction."
"How do you know?" Che Zhan was puzzled.
Zhou Tang looked up. "If I don't die in the Alliance, then I'll be there one day."
Lu Yin's gaze froze. "The Lu family's remaining officials were sent there?"
Zhou Tang and Lu Yin exchanged glances. "Some."
Lu Yin's heart surged with uncontrollable rage. His Lu family had been exiled, and the remaining officials were either in the Alliance or in the Lost Army. There was even a chance that they would be executed. The Four Libras' methods were too ruthless, so how could he not take revenge?
However, no one could tell what he was feeling. Lu Yin remained calm on the surface. "Let's go find the Victorious Army. I can use the red light."
Everyone was excited. Fighting to the death was better than waiting for death.
In the distance, Marquis Qing Zhu was silent. Lu Yin's group walked out of the ground and headed towards the red light. He knew what was about to happen, so he immediately ordered, "Destroy that group."
As soon as he gave the order, an endless number of Corpse Kings rushed towards Lu Yin's group.
Lu Yin's expression turned solemn. "Let's go into the red light."
