"Senior Mirror God, are these giants part of the giant bloodline?"
Lu Yin was curious.
Mirror God replied, "Of course not, the average giant isn't that big. These are just giants that we created using rune lines, and they have symbolic meaning. They have nothing to do with the giant bloodline."
Lu Yin looked at the kneeling giants that carried the Home of the Gods on their backs. "Every face is different."
"That's right, the giants are symbolic, and the faces of these giants were once great enemies of the Home of the Gods. Every enemy that was killed would transform into a giant and carry the Home of the Gods on their backs to atone for their sins. They would only be released after a certain number of years, or they would be replaced by an even greater sinner."
Lu Yin frowned as he thought about the Lu family's General Appointment Platform.
The Lu family's General Appointment Platform had been used to select enemies for battle, not to humiliate them. At least, Lu Yin didn't. No matter how deep the hatred was, there was no need for that. However, the Home of the Gods had truly humiliated their enemies, and their only goal was to humiliate them. It was no wonder why outsiders called them lunatics.
"If one day, I accidentally become enemies with the Home of the Gods and get killed, will I end up like these people?"
Lu Yin asked with a smile.
Mirror God was startled and hurriedly explained, "Alliance Master Lu, please don't misunderstand. How could you and the Home of the Gods be enemies? Regardless of your relationship with Taiyi God, I've met Alliance Master Lu several times and admire you greatly. We are not enemies now, and we won't be enemies in the future."
Lu Yin smiled, "Senior, you're being too serious. I was just joking." Lu Yin saw the face of one of the giants, "That's Annihilation?"
Mirror God followed Lu Yin's gaze and his expression sank, "That's right, that's Annihilation. The Home of the Gods raised that traitor and taught him how to cultivate, but he didn't show any gratitude and even tried to invade the Candle God's seclusion grounds to spy on his cultivation. This traitor will bear his sins for eternity, and he will never be forgiven."
"I heard that the Candle God has been in seclusion for a very long time. I really want to meet him. I heard that this senior is of the same generation as Elder Chan and the others, and he's probably in seclusion to break through to Half-Ancestor," Lu Yin said. The group then stepped onto a piece of land on the back of one of the giants. A dazzling palace floated in front of them, and all creatures that they had never seen before could be seen flying about.
These creatures had a special characteristic, which was that they were full of holiness, like a picture scroll.
The Home of the Gods vividly displayed the ethereal and merciless nature of the immortal realm.
Wind God led the way. Tai Yi God and many other higher-ups of the Home of the Gods were already waiting for them. The eighteen celestial deities, including Yao Hong, stood at the very back with her head bowed.
At the mention of the Candle God, the Mirror God said regretfully, "In front of Alliance Lord Lu, there's nothing we can hide in the Home of the Gods, so I'll be frank with you." He paused for a moment, then said seriously, "It's too difficult to become a Half-Martial Ancestor by cultivating the Eon Derivation True Scripture. The Candle God is in seclusion all year round because he wants to break through to the Half-Martial Ancestor Realm. However, there hasn't been any news from him even now, so we don't know what's going on with him.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. Not dead?
It was widely rumored that the Candle God was dead. Of course, the Home of the Gods would never admit such a thing. It was precisely because of the Candle God's existence that the Home of the Gods was a colossus in the Neoverse. Otherwise, with the Mirror God's 700,000 combat power, how could it defend the Home of the Gods? No matter how miraculous the Book of Eternity Evolution was, it could not have done so.
"It's very difficult to break through to the Half-Martial Ancestor Realm while cultivating the True Scripture of Eon Evolution?"
Lu Yin asked.
The Mirror God led Lu Yin towards the main hall of the Home of the Gods as he explained, "It's extremely difficult. If you just cultivate the Eon Derivation True Scripture, then don't even think about breaking through to the Half-Martial Ancestor Realm.
Even breaking through to the Half-Martial Ancestor Realm is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Only the Candle God has managed to do so in the Home of the Gods, and he has cultivated to a level that's second only to a Half-Martial Ancestor. In other words, he's an eighth Origin Tribulation Realm cultivator. However, breaking through to the Half-Martial Ancestor Realm is far too difficult.
"According to our research on the ruins of the Rune Technology civilization, it might be related to the Rune Progenitor. When the Rune Progenitor was still around, the Rune Technology civilization was at its peak and gave birth to many experts. However, the Rune Progenitor is no longer around. Although cultivating the Eon Derivation True Scripture is miraculous, it's still missing something."
Lu Yin's eyes turned into runes as he looked in front of him. There were strange creatures and dazzling palaces. Everything was formed from runes, and it was like a strange runic world. These runes could change at will, causing the buildings, the mountains, the earth, and even the creatures to change into different forms.
The palaces could transform into mountains, water could transform into flames, and creatures could transform into white clouds. This was the Home of the Gods.
"Alliance Lord Lu, is the Eon Derivation True Scripture within the fifth tower?"
The Mirror God asked.
Lu Yin was helpless. "I want to, but unfortunately, I don't know how. I cultivated the Eon Derivation True Scripture and opened my eyes with the help of the Astral Combat Academy's Sky Platform."
"I admire Alliance Lord Lu. The establishment of the fifth tower has benefited the entire human race. Alliance Lord Lu is selfless and has not joined our Home of the Gods in terms of innate talent. Your cultivation of the Eon Derivation True Scripture has already reached the Knower realm. Even though Tai Yisheng has been researching the ruins of the Rune Technology civilization for many years and has our guidance, he's only on par with Alliance Lord Lu," the Mirror God said.
His words were vague, but they were easy to understand. He wanted to use the ruins of the Rune Technology civilization to exchange for the statue's location. "When it comes to cultivating the Eon Derivation True Scripture, Coco He is the most talented. He's the first genius of our generation to display the Knower realm."
The Mirror God's expression turned ugly. "It's all because of traitors. That traitor Ember stole a great treasure from the Home of the Gods, which allowed Coco He to cultivate. Otherwise … hmph."
"Tai Yisheng greets Alliance Lord Lu."
"Qing Guangshen greets Alliance Lord Lu."
"Xiao Bai greets Alliance Lord Lu."
"Feng Hua Shen …"
…
The eighteen Celestial Gods were the younger generation's geniuses in the Home of the Gods. The older generation's powerhouses were Envoys like the Mirror God, Violet God, and Wind God. The Enlighters in the middle had a lower status than the eighteen Celestial Gods.
Lu Yin had done his research and found that there were eighteen Celestial Gods in every generation, but only a few stood out in the end.
For example, Wind God was the only one who stood out among the eighteen Celestial Gods of a certain generation.
Lu Yin smiled. "There's no need to be so polite. Brother Tai Yisheng, we haven't seen each other in a long time."
Tai Yisheng looked up at Lu Yin and smiled bitterly. "Alliance Lord Lu, you're walking too fast. I can't keep up."
Lu Yin had a good impression of Tai Yisheng. No matter what the outside world said, Tai Yisheng had never acted like a lunatic in front of Lu Yin and had even helped him. It was Tai Yisheng who had told Lu Yin about the Leo family that had allowed Lu Yin to uncover Xia Ji's scheme, which had led to the war in the Cosmic Sea.
During the war in the Cosmic Sea, it was also Lu Yin who had led Tai Yisheng to the Home of the Gods.
"I'm here now, aren't I? Brother Tai Yisheng, are you free to show me around the Home of the Gods?" Lu Yin smiled.
Tai Yisheng glanced at Mirror God, who nodded subtly.
Tai Yisheng walked out and smiled. "As long as Alliance Lord Lu doesn't mind, I'm willing."
In the back, Yao Hong's head was still lowered. Her original arrogance, that insufferably arrogance, that insufferably arrogance, now towered up into the sky.
Her arrogance had disappeared.
The Wind God had slapped her in front of Lu Yin, and after returning to the Home of the Gods, she had received quite a bit of punishment. Even Tai Yishen, who had been close to her, had become indifferent, and all of this was because of Lu Yin.
It was only then that she realized who she had offended. That person was bigger than the heavens.
At this moment, she was different from before. She regretted not working hard in her cultivation and her arrogance, but at the same time, she was worried that Lu Yin would settle the score with her.
However, she was overthinking things, as Lu Yin had long since forgotten about her.
With Tai Yisheng accompanying him, Mirror God exchanged a few pleasantries with Lu Yin before leaving to entertain the Second Nightking. Compared to him, Tai Yisheng was more suitable to interact with Lu Yin.
Wind God also left.
However, one person followed him. It was Xiao Bai, a lively and cute girl who was closest to Tai Yisheng.
When he saw Xiao Bai following him, Tai Yisheng scolded, "What are you doing here? Go back."
Xiao Bai stuck out her tongue and pleaded, "Brother Tai Yisheng, let me follow you. I also want to get closer to Alliance Lord Lu."
Tai Yisheng glared at her. "Go back. Don't ruin Alliance Lord Lu's mood."
Xiao Bai felt wronged and looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin smiled. "If you want to come, then come. She's a girl, and she's so pretty. At least she's prettier than you."
Tai Yisheng smiled bitterly and warned Xiao Bai, "Don't talk nonsense."
Xiao Bai was delighted. "Okay, don't worry." She then looked at Lu Yin and smiled. "Brother Lu, I'll show you around. Tai Yisheng doesn't know much about this place, but I'm different. I've been to many places."
"I told you not to talk nonsense," Tai Yisheng scolded again.
Lu Yin replied, "It's fine, Brother Tai Yisheng. You're too serious. This isn't like you back then. Gu Xiao Er mentioned that you were going to introduce Xiao Bai to him."
Tai Yisheng's expression changed.
Xiao Bai narrowed her eyes and stared at Tai Yisheng. Her tone turned sinister. "Brother Tai Yisheng, is what Brother Lu said true?
You actually thought of introducing me to that idiot Gu Xiao Er? "
Tai Yisheng felt awkward. "I drank too much and spoke nonsense. Don't mind it."
"Hmph, if you have the ability, introduce me to Brother Lu." Xiao Bai rolled her eyes.
Lu Yin was speechless. Why did she mention him?
As Lu Yin's status and strength increased, his former friends and acquaintances gradually changed their attitudes towards him.
Fortunately, a joke made the atmosphere much more relaxed, and with Xiao Bai around, Tai Yisheng gradually relaxed. He also started to address Lu Yin as Brother Lu instead of Alliance Lord Lu.
Lu Yin didn't care what Tai Yisheng called him. In essence, he also wanted to have friends and not be tied down by benefits.
After thinking about it, although he didn't have many friends, he had many relatives. Leon's Armada, Wendy Yushan, Brother Hui Kong, Senior Brother Referee, and so on. He wasn't alone.
Xiao Bai was an exception among the eighteen gods. She didn't have the arrogance of the others and was essentially a lively girl. She brought Lu Yin and Tai Yisheng around the Home of the Gods and was very happy.
"Seems like there aren't many guests in the Home of the Gods," Lu Yin said as he watched Xiao Bai cheerfully introduce something.
Tai Yisheng nodded. "Brother Lu, you know how outsiders view us. Many people don't like the atmosphere in the Home of the Gods."
Lu Yin pointed at his feet. "This scared off many people, but no one dares to offend the Home of the Gods."
