From the moment that Liu Huang and the Second Nightking had been brought out of Kun's Swamp, the Innerverse's fate had been sealed.
It sat there calmly, its two heads moving slowly as it exuded a pressure that would cause ordinary cultivators to tremble.
On the ground, the specks of light reflected by the two-headed centipede slowly condensed, and a familiar cold aura descended.
Lu Yin suddenly opened his eyes, but he could not see any rune lines. However, he was familiar with this feeling. This was half a set, which meant that it was one of the Seven Skygods.
"Is the Cape Galaxy incident related to you?" a cold voice asked. It seemed to be speaking right next to his ear, and he could not tell if it was a man or a woman.
Lu Yin did not turn around, as he knew that he could not see. "Cape Galaxy?
It has nothing to do with me. "
"Where were you when Qiu Hanchen died?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "Who are you?"
"I'll ask, and you'll answer. It's not up to you to ask me."
Lu Yin sneered. "What if I don't answer?"
"Then die."
Lu Yin laughed. "You don't care about the Sorcerer God's plan?
Which of the Seven Skygods are you?
It's not the Sorcerer God or Hei Wushen. He's on the other side of the Fifth Mainland. "
"I'm the Forgotten Ruins Deity."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "Forgotten Ruins Deity?
Why are you here? "
"Is the Cape Galaxy incident related to you?" the Forgotten Ruins Deity asked again.
Lu Yin coldly replied, "It has nothing to do with me."
"Where were you when Qiu Hanchen died?" the Forgotten Ruins Deity asked again. It was the same question, but this time, Lu Yin answered, "I was in seclusion."
"Where is he going to cultivate in seclusion?"
"Planet Aegis."
"Why did you go there?"
The Forgotten Ruins Deity clearly hesitated, as he had not expected Lu Yin to give such an answer. They had investigated and found that Lu Yin was definitely not at the border between the Great Eastern Alliance and the Sixth Mainland when Qiu Hanchen died. The Forgotten Ruins Deity had expected Lu Yin to answer that he was there, which meant that Lu Yin was hiding something.
Lu Yin took a deep breath and said, "In any case, the Cape Galaxy incident has nothing to do with me. As for why I went into seclusion on Planet Aegis, it has nothing to do with you. Stay away from me."
"The Great Eastern Alliance has been attacked, and the Innerverse wants to exterminate all cultivators above Enlighters. You won't have anyone you can use, including Wang Wen and the others," the Forgotten Ruins Deity said.
"So?
You have to help me, "Lu Yin mocked.
"It's not impossible."
"Then I'll help you become the universe's public enemy."
"We have our ways, as long as you hand over that thing."
Lu Yin frowned. "What?"
"Something from the Horn Galaxy."
"I've already said that I have nothing to do with the Horn Star System."
"Lu Xiaoxuan's identity has been exposed. Perhaps due to certain reasons, they won't become an obstacle to you, but they won't help you either. Even if the Neoverse wants to help you, it'll be too late. The Great Eastern Alliance will become a pile of loose sand. Do you wish for the Great Eastern Alliance that you worked so hard to establish to disappear?
How will we fight against the Four Way Scale in the future? "God of Forgotten Ruins asked.
"As long as you hand over that item, we can protect everything that belongs to you. We can even help you unify the Innerverse as quickly as possible."
"How many times do I have to tell you before you believe me? What happened in Cape Horn has nothing to do with me. I have nothing to give you."
"Tell me the real reason why you went to Aegis for seclusion. You know that even if you don't tell us, we can still find out."
The God of Forgotten Ruins said.
Lu Yin muttered to himself for a moment before helplessly replying, "There's an entrance to the Mysterium Sect within Aegis."
The God of Forgotten Ruins was confused. "The Mysterium Sect?"
"An ancient sect that contains an aura of death," Lu Yin said. He wasn't afraid that the Neohuman Alliance would discover the aura of death, as he still had Kun Ze. If he didn't tell them the truth, the Neohuman Alliance would keep an eye on him, which would make things even more troublesome for him.
Furthermore, the Neohuman Alliance's Eternal Kingdom contained an aura of death, so it wouldn't make a difference if there was one more or one less.
The God of Forgotten Ruins was astonished. "Aura of death?
The Mysterium Sect has aura of death?
I remember now, the Mysterium Sect. "
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "Is the Mysterium Sect very famous?"
The God of Forgotten Ruins did not answer. "I can trust 30% of your words."
Lu Yin's face twitched. "Why not 10%?"
"70%, and I need to verify it personally." Lu Yin felt a chill run down his spine. The God of Forgotten Ruins was about to attack him.
He didn't know what the God of Forgotten Ruins had, but he was still one of the Seven Skygods.
Suddenly, the two heads were crushed before they could even cry out. Behind Lu Yin, a scale appeared beneath the feet of the figure condensed from light. The God of Forgotten Ruins was supported by one end of the scale while the other end was covered in endless darkness.
In the distance, Young King Qing coughed up blood. The death of the two heads was a huge blow to him. He stared at the endless darkness in shock, his eyes flickering. That was the Interstellar Arbitration's head judge.
Ding ding ding!
Lu Yin suddenly turned around and saw the scale supporting the condensed light. The other end of the scale was in the darkness, and he was delighted. "Lord Judge!"
The scale represented judgment.
The God of Forgotten Ruins' voice was extremely cold. "You're not even a Half-Ancestor, yet you want to judge a Half-Ancestor? Qing Ping, you're too arrogant. Do you really think you can deal with the Seven Skygods?"
A calm voice rang out from the darkness. "Judgment, laws, inner world." The moment the voice finished speaking, the boundless darkness suddenly vanished and was replaced by a clear and bright sky. It was clear and pure, and it replaced the sky of the Shengu Continent as well as the Gu Flowzone's starry sky. It was as if the stars in the sky had shifted.
Lu Yin was shocked. This was changing the sky.
The God of Forgotten Ruins slowly rose up, and the scale pressed down on the head judge.
"You haven't even become a Half-Ancestor, but you've already cultivated an inner world?
No, this isn't an inner world. It's just a manifestation of your cultivation, but it's comparable to a Half-Ancestor's inner world. Qing Ping, I can't let you live today! "The God of Forgotten Ruins was in disbelief as he shouted. The sky was clear, and lightning appeared in the pure sky, forming a crack that split the sky apart.
Following that, countless blurry sounds appeared, accompanied by the descent of a piece of land that pressed down on the scale.
The scale shifted, and the God of Forgotten Ruins descended while the head judge was raised up.
Lu Yin watched on nervously. The head judge was not a Half-Ancestor, but he wanted to compete with a Half-Ancestor's inner world. His opponent was one of the Seven Skygods, and it seemed like the Seven Skygods were not as simple as Half-Ancestors.
Even though Lu Yin had confidence in the head judge, he was not so sure anymore. This senior of his was too daring.
Rumble …
The land pressed down on the scale, pushing the God of Forgotten Ruins down, but it was unable to destroy the scale.
The God of Forgotten Ruins was shocked. "Since it can't be destroyed, then I'll use your own rules to judge you." With that, the scale fell faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, the God of Forgotten Ruins was level with the head judge.
Lu Yin clenched his fists, and a blood-red bell appeared in his hand. He pondered for a moment before shaking it.
In the distance, Shaohuang Qing was equally nervous. On one side was the head judge of the Interstellar Court, who was rumored to be Lu Yin's backer, while on the other side was one of the Neohuman Alliance's Seven Skygods.
However, neither side would benefit him, and he hoped that both sides would suffer.
"Qing Ping, you must die today. You asked for it." The God of Forgotten Ruins was pleased with himself as he pressed down.
On the other side, the head judge's voice rang out. "Your weakness is too obvious. How can this body's inner world withstand my judgment?" With that, the scale stopped, and the bright sky once again enveloped the Gu Flowzone.
On this day, the Gu Flowzone's wonders would forever be recorded in the annals of history. Even the darkness of space was replaced by the bright sky.
Following that, the head judge slowly descended, and the scale's judgment shifted in a direction unfavorable to the God of Forgotten Ruins.
The specks of light that the God of Forgotten Ruins had gathered slowly dissipated. "If I were you, I definitely wouldn't have exposed myself. Today, your exposure is the cause, and in the future, your death will be the effect." With that, the specks of light completely disappeared, and one end of the scale was empty.
Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief. The God of Forgotten Ruins had left, and he did not know if he had been defeated. If he had been defeated, then the head judge was too powerful. Even a Half-Progenitor could only chase away one of the Seven Skygods, but his senior had directly judged him.
The scale disappeared, and so did the bright sky. It was still that familiar darkness.
Lu Yin hurried forward. "Greetings, Head Judge."
Shaohuang Qing also hurried forward, her voice weak. "Greetings, Head Judge."
Within the palace, Grand Tutor Yuan, Prince Ruan, Qing Longlong, and the rest of the Divine Gu Dynasty's people all paid their respects. Following that, Wen Yao, Balsam, and the rest all came forward to pay their respects to the head judge.
Everyone was bewildered, as they did not understand why the head judge would appear here.
Shaohuang Qing was the most apprehensive, as there had always been rumors that Lu Yin's background was as powerful as the heavens. The Hall of Honor, the Interstellar Arbitration, the Board of Governors, and even a peak Half-Progenitor were all his backers. That was why many people had been so cautious when dealing with him, and it was also because of this that Shaohuang Qing had not tried to kill Lu Yin.
He had thought that no matter how powerful those backers were, as long as they did not harm Lu Yin's life, they would not act. He had never expected the head judge to appear to protect Lu Yin. What was their relationship?
Just how powerful was Lu Yin's background?
"Why did the Seven Skygods appear?" the head judge asked. Even though they could not see him, everyone knew that he was asking about Lu Yin.
Lu Yin replied, "The God of Forgotten Ruins wants to know if this junior has anything to do with the Horn Galaxy incident."
"Is there a connection?" the head judge asked again.
Lu Yin did not hesitate. "No connection."
The head judge fell silent.
Shaohuang Qing could not hold back any longer. "Head Judge, it is the Divine Gu Dynasty's honor that you have come, but the palace has been destroyed. Please forgive this junior's rudeness. May I know why you are here?"
The head judge calmly replied, "The Neohuman Alliance."
"You already knew that the Seven Skygods would appear?" Shaohuang Qing could not understand.
Lu Yin answered, "It wasn't the Seven Skygods. I was the one who invited you here." He met Shaohuang Qing's gaze, and his lips curled up. "You should know why."
Shaohuang Qing's gaze turned sinister. "The Interstellar Arbitration represents the Hall of Honor, and it is the highest authority that upholds human order. The head judge is also the representative of humanity's fair and just judgment. He would not come to my Gu Flowzone just to help you."
Lu Yin laughed, as this fellow was trying to use righteousness to bind the head judge. At the head judge's level, righteousness was nothing more than a shackle that bound themselves. Righteousness was meaningless to them, and even if the head judge openly helped Lu Yin deal with the Innerverse's various powers, no one would be able to say anything.
Lu Yin's expression changed. "This junior did not invite you here for a personal grudge, but to report that the Divine Gu Dynasty is suspected of colluding with the Neohuman Alliance."
