Within the Ross Empire's stronghold, Lu Yin watched his die slowly come to a stop at six pips. His eyes went wide; his luck was really good; he had gotten six pips right off the bat.
The balls of light in the mysterious space were dim. Lu Yin looked around and was speechless, as none of these balls were worth fusing with. This was the first time he had encountered one, so he could only casually fuse with one. Otherwise, he might have to wait until all of his star essence was used up before he could leave.
He casually fused with one of the balls and opened his eyes. Eh?
What a familiar feeling. It wasn't a human, a beast, or a Corpse King. Was this … a mechanical ant?
Lu Yin was astonished, as he had actually fused with the same mechanical ant as before, and it was still a Hunter. It was no wonder why the balls of light were so dim; with his current strength, a Hunter was too weak.
Lu Yin turned his antennae and looked around. There were countless mechanical ants, and the scene he saw was similar to what he had seen before. He controlled the ant to jump up and land on the ant in front of him before jumping up and moving forward. He had done the same thing last time, but there had been too many of them, and he couldn't even see the end of them.
This time, however, Lu Yin saw that there were countless mechanical ants in front of him, but he didn't know if they were behind him or not. Quite a few materials were being transported, and the ones transporting them were Scavengers.
As the scene in front of him changed, Lu Yin returned to his body. He didn't move as he quietly pondered.
He had previously guessed that the disappearance of the materials in the Technocracy might be related to the Scavengers, and he had also guessed that the mechanical ants might be related to them. He had never thought that it would be true.
The Scavengers were machines that the Technocracy used to clean up the universe's trash, and the ones who produced them were probably the mainframe. Regardless of whether it was First City or the Genesis Academy, they both had Scavengers. If the mechanical ants were really made from the materials collected by the Scavengers, then both City and the Genesis Academy might have been involved.
Lu Yin raised his head. This was only a guess, and he wasn't sure of the specifics. However, it was very likely to be true, and if that was the case, then he would have to reevaluate the Technocracy.
This time, he had rolled six pips, and he had used up a total of eighty million star essence. Fortunately, he hadn't used it all up, and he still had two hundred million left, just in case.
After resting for ten days, Lu Yin raised his hand, and his die appeared again. He tapped it and rolled it again.
This time, he rolled two pips, but unfortunately, he didn't need it.
Lu Yin rested for another ten days before returning.
Everyone was waiting to see how the Neohuman Alliance would react. The Great Eastern Alliance's goal of unifying the Innerverse was currently advancing, and there was no need for Lu Yin to personally appear. Since he had nothing better to do, he might as well enter the Time Stop Space and recite the Primogenitor's Scripture. He should be able to roll it.
This time, it was six o 'clock. Lu Yin was surprised, but his luck was pretty good. He had appeared in that mysterious space, and this time, he was no longer surrounded by dim light. Instead, there were many glowing spheres.
How could there be so many?
Lu Yin was stunned. That shouldn't be the case. With his strength, these balls of light represented an Emissary at the very least, and not just any Emissary at that. There were a few balls of light that made it difficult for him to look straight at them. What kind of power did they represent? He had never fused with anyone before.
He decided to give it a try. Perhaps it would be a powerhouse with a power level of 800,000 to 900,000 or even a million.
He wanted to try merging with the most dazzling ball of light, but unfortunately, he couldn't do it. Left with no choice, he could only merge with the ball of light that was still shining brightly, but not too dazzling.
The scene changed from the dark mysterious space to a desolate land shrouded in a dark red dusk. Lu Yin had fused with a body. It was a person, but it had no memories.
Lu Yin stood there in a daze. No memories. He really had no memories. He looked at his own hands and then at his own body. It was very normal. He was a person of flesh and blood, but there was no warmth. Was this a Corpse King?
No, there were no violent thoughts in his mind, and he didn't have the urge to destroy everything. He was like a corpse wandering the wilderness.
A corpse that could move but had no memories reminded Lu Yin of the Meditative Ruins in the Ruler's Realm of the Astral Tree. However, there was a fundamental difference. That corpse had been unable to control its own body, but it had also been the key to activating the Meditative Ruins. This was something that Wang Su had discovered.
That corpse was just a tool, but the one that Lu Yin had fused with was a corpse that could move freely, but it had no memories. It was also different from a Corpse King.
Why were there so many of these strange things in the universe?
Lu Yin didn't understand.
He looked around and saw a desolate land. In the distance, the sun was setting, and white clouds were drifting past. There were clouds?
There was also a cool breeze. Was it a sea breeze? Was there an ocean up ahead?
Lu Yin controlled the corpse to walk forward, and for some reason, the Star Scattered Chessboard appeared beneath his feet. His body then disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was quite a distance away from where he had been before.
Lu Yin was stunned. Was this the Plan Secret Art?
How could this be?
How could this corpse know the Plan Secret Art?
Could it be that his own Plan Secret Art had activated?
Impossible. He had only fused his consciousness, and it was impossible for him to bring the Plan Secret Art over. Lu Yin wanted to use it, but nothing happened.
As expected, it wasn't because of him, but rather because the corpse itself knew the Plan Secret Art, and it had unconsciously activated it.
What the hell?
Was this someone from the Ce family?
Could this be the Seven Courts' Ce family?
Or was this a place related to the Seven Courts?
Lu Yin continued to walk into the distance in confusion. Not long after, he saw a figure quietly walk over. No, it was jumping.
Lu Yin instantly felt his hair stand on end, and a chill spread from the bottom of his heart. He waited in place and watched quietly.
Soon, the figure became clear.
The figure that appeared in front of Lu Yin was an old man with a flushed face, as if he had drunk too much. His beard reached his calves and was tied into countless braids as he hopped over. The reason he was hopping was because he only had one leg, a wooden one. The other was empty.
Lu Yin sighed in relief. So it was a one-legged man. No wonder he couldn't jump.
The one-legged old man hopped closer, but it was as if he hadn't seen Lu Yin at all.
Lu Yin retracted his gaze and continued walking forward. It seemed that there were more strange corpses like this one.
He wanted to see where this was.
Time was running out, so he quickened his pace, hoping to activate the Plan Secret Art.
The next moment, the Star Chessboard appeared beneath his feet, and he activated the Secret Art of Plan. He vanished and reappeared, but he didn't walk far before activating the Secret Art of Plan again. He continued walking, but the corpse seemed to never tire and could activate the Secret Art of Plan indefinitely.
The cold wind grew stronger in front of him as he approached the sea. There was only a cliff left, and Lu Yin looked up to see a figure sitting there. Although he couldn't see the face clearly, it gave off an extremely lonely feeling.
He heard the sound of the sea. Just as he was about to go forward, there was movement behind him. He turned around and saw a very cute girl smiling at him. Her eyes were full of intelligence as she looked at him.
Lu Yin jumped in fright and almost fell over. The girl raised her hand, and under Lu Yin's wary and vigilant gaze, she slapped down at the void, tearing open a spatial tear that disappeared in a flash. The girl then stepped over Lu Yin and continued walking in another direction. Every time she walked a certain distance, she would slap down at the void, accompanied by an adorable smile. It was an extremely strange sight.
Lu Yin was speechless and almost scared to death.
He subconsciously covered his chest, but then remembered that this body wasn't his and put it down in embarrassment. The girl was probably a corpse as well, but her intelligent eyes were too strange.
Ignoring her, Lu Yin turned to look at the lonely figure sitting at the edge of the cliff. He thought about it and decided to go take a look. Perhaps the sea would be different.
He activated the Plan Secret Art and directly reached the top of the cliff, where he saw the surface of the sea under the setting sun. It sparkled like a normal sea, but it was deathly still and devoid of any living creatures.
He vaguely saw a giant creature swimming across the seabed. Was there a living creature?
Lu Yin was surprised and wanted to jump down to take a look, but then his heart skipped a beat as he remembered that there was another person sitting not too far away. He turned around, and his pupils shrank. Was that … Progenitor Chen?
The scene in front of him suddenly changed, and Lu Yin's consciousness returned to his body. He abruptly stood up, his eyes flashing. There was no mistake, the person sitting alone at the edge of the cliff was definitely Progenitor Chen. He had seen Progenitor Chen's memories and knew what he looked like.
Why was Progenitor Chen there?
There were corpses everywhere. Was Progenitor Chen one of them?
Lu Yin frowned, unable to figure it out. What was that place?
People from the Ce family had appeared, including that strange one-legged old man, that quick-witted girl, and finally, even Progenitor Chen had been seen. It was definitely not an ordinary place.
Could it be Progenitor Chen's tomb?
Lu Yin shook his head. That shouldn't be the case, as he had been to Progenitor Chen's tomb before.
What kind of place could that be?
Progenitor Chen had been sitting alone at the seaside, not moving around like the person he had merged with. He had just sat there for who knew how many years, forever. What was he looking at?
What was there to miss about that place?
Lu Yin raised his hand, and his die appeared. He really wanted to merge with Progenitor Chen again to see what kind of place it was.
The universe was filled with too many secrets, and from ancient times until now, which Progenitor had not left behind a secret?
Some had even become legends, while others had remained a mystery.
Back in the Technocracy, Mister Mu had said that Progenitor Chen's life was a mystery. Was that Progenitor Chen still alive?
Or was he dead?
Lu Yin shook his head, unable to figure it out. He could only wait for confirmation in the future.
He was only an Enlighter at the moment, but perhaps when he became an Emissary, he would be able to learn more about the secrets of ancient times.
He turned on his gadget, but there was nothing major happening in the outside world. Lu Yin closed his eyes and rested for a few days before continuing to roll.
Right, how many star essences had I used to merge with Progenitor Chen just now?
Lu Yin hurriedly took a look and then blinked. That was it. He had no more star essences left, but he couldn't say that he had no more. He only had a small fraction left. He had used 200 million star essences this time, which was quite ruthless. There were only a few million star essences left in his cosmic ring, which was meaningless.
These star essences could only be used to enter the Time Stop Space to cultivate.
