Even though Lu Yin was reluctant to part with the island, he had no reason to stop Highsage Leon from leaving. Eternal Sky Island was his master's home, and he would never abandon it.
Highsage Leon had gone to the Neoverse, while Big Sis was at the Realm Mountain. They had all scattered, hoping that the frontlines would be able to hold off the Eternals for a bit longer, allowing them to regroup.
However, World Mountain probably wouldn't move. Lu Yin's heart sank when he thought about it.
"Strange, strange," Kui Luo muttered to himself as he looked to the east.
Lu Yin didn't understand. "What's strange?"
Kui Luo said solemnly. "We've already experienced the strength of the Seven Skygods. The Fifth Mainland's Half-Martial Ancestor should not be able to stop them in a one-on-one battle. So why hasn't the outcome been decided yet?"
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. That's right, the Undying God shouldn't be the strongest of the Seven Skygods, but he was already so terrifying. If the Ancient God and the Forgotten Ruins Deity used their full strength, then Half-Ancestor Drunkard and the others definitely wouldn't be able to withstand them. Elder Chan might be able to withstand them, but Elder Gong and the others would be in trouble. They were on the same level as Xia Ji, so how could they withstand the Seven Skygods?
Unless the Seven Skygods were willing to be blocked by them.
"Don't worry about that for now. Let's go," Kui Luo said. He couldn't guess what the Eternals were up to.
"Hold on." Kui Luo couldn't guess, but Lu Yin had a vague idea.
What was the most important thing for the people of the Fifth Mainland to do?
They could either resist the invasion of the Eternals or protect themselves. If Lu Li's guess was correct, the Eternals were waiting for the humans to gather together to protect themselves before dealing with them. Otherwise, the scattered Fifth Mainland would take too much time.
They didn't just want to exterminate the humans. They wanted to breed them and build Eternal Kingdom.
The people from the Starfall Sea were being kept in captivity in the Sea King's Dome's Aeonian Kingdom. Rather than being chased away by the Sea King's Dome, it would be better for the humans to gather together. The humans believed that they could protect themselves, but in reality, it would save them a lot of time.
Although there was no proof, Lu Yin felt that he had guessed correctly. If he was one of the Seven Skygods, he would have done the same.
Although Lu Yin had guessed the Fifth Mainland's goal, he had no way of stopping them. The scattered cultivators would not be able to resist the Eternals either. The only thing he could do was take a group of people away before the Fifth Mainland was bound to be enslaved by the Eternals.
That's right, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly contacted Elder Chan.
However, they couldn't contact him. Right now, even half ancestors had opponents.
Lu Yin didn't give up and kept trying to contact Elder Chan until he finally did. "What's up?"
Elder Chan asked. He could vaguely hear a roar coming from the other side.
Lu Yin replied, "Senior, you told me that there's a place where you might need my help, and that's where President Xiu Ming and the others are."
"I don't have the energy to care about that," Elder Chan said in a low voice.
Lu Yin replied, "Unlock it, senior."
Old Zen was taken aback. "What do you know?"
Lu Yin replied, "This junior is unable to explain, but that is the Fifth Mainland's only chance of victory. Kui Luo and Xia Ji just fought against the Undying God and were completely defeated. The Seven Skygods are definitely terrifying existences at the level of Half-Progenitor, but they did not reveal themselves completely. They were waiting for the humans to gather so that they could deal with them all at once. My Fifth Mainland alone cannot stop the Seven Skygods, and even the Sixth Mainland and the Astral Tree Expeditionary Army would not be able to stop them. Jieyu's location is our only choice."
"Do you know why that place cannot be unlocked?
This is because we can see many Corpse Kings from the surface, and they all came from ancient times. That place is equivalent to being frozen in time. Once we unlock it, no one knows what kind of people will appear. Perhaps an Ancestor Realm Corpse King will appear. At that time, it will be even more impossible for humans to win, "Elder Chan said.
"Senior, trust me, Jieyu."
Elder Chan stared blankly at his gadget. "Why?"
Lu Yin raised his head. "My master said so."
Elder Chan's eyes went wide. "That mister?
What did he say exactly? "
Lu Yin replied, "Master said that he could not help the humans, and that Jieyu's location is our only chance of victory. Perhaps the humans will be destroyed, or perhaps the situation will be reversed."
Elder Chan fell silent.
Lu Yin grew anxious. "Senior, the Undying God is someone from Wu Tian's era. He's a child that Wu Tian adopted, and he's a monster. I can't think of anyone in the Half-Progenitor realm who can defeat him. Although I don't want to admit it, there were too many powerhouses born in ancient times, and there might be someone who can fight against the Seven Skygods. Rather than waiting for death, why not take a gamble?"
Elder Chan hesitated. Gamble?
Not gamble?
As a Half-Progenitor, such hesitation rarely occurred. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for him to become a Half-Progenitor. However, Elder Chan had too many burdens on his shoulders, and he was the hope of the entire Fifth Mainland. If he lost this gamble, the Fifth Mainland's humans would disappear, and he would be a sinner to the entire human race.
The more apprehensions he had, the less he dared to gamble. This was Elder Chan.
Lu Yin shouted, "Senior, did you agree with Shui Chuanxiao's decision to sacrifice half of Endless Weave in exchange for a network connection?"
Elder Chan's heart trembled.
"Did you agree with the Sea King breaking through the Three Upper Gates?
Breaking through the Sixth Mainland's sky? "
Elder Chan's expression was complicated.
Lu Yin shouted, "You asked me how I would have resolved the Sixth Mainland's request for the Outerverse if it had been me. I've already given you the answer. You're overthinking things."
Elder Chan frowned. Was he overthinking things?
"You don't need to shoulder the burden of humanity. You're not a Progenitor, just a Half-Progenitor. You can't shoulder humanity's future," Lu Yin shouted. Elder Chan's gaze turned cold. "Fine, I'll gamble. At worst, I'll lose my life. Lu Yin, I know you have a plan. If you lose this gamble and bring about an even greater calamity to the Fifth Mainland, then run as far away as possible to preserve humanity's hope."
Lu Yin sighed. He trusted Mister Mu, and he could only trust Mister Mu. "I understand."
…
In the vast white tundra, Xiu Ming opened his eyes and glanced at his gadget from time to time.
He knew what had happened in the outside world, and it had caused a huge debate. Some Lockbreakers wanted to go out and face the Eternals, while others wanted to stay here.
To be honest, he did not know what to choose. He could only wait for Elder Chan to inform him, but he was more inclined to stay here.
Although Lockbreakers were powerful, there were not many of them. Even if they went out, they would not be of much use. The Eternals were endless, and adding them would not improve the situation. Their most important task was to prevent any accidents from happening here. The Neohuman Alliance had attempted to lockbreak, and this place should be one of their targets.
Beep beep beep beep!
His gadget beeped, and Xiu Ming hurriedly opened it.
"Prepare to lockbreak. Unlock everything," Elder Chan's voice rang out.
Xiu Ming thought that he had misheard. "What did you say?
Lockbreak? "
Elder Chan replied, "I have enemies here, so I don't have time to speak. Unlock everything. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, we'll take responsibility for it."
Xiu Ming's expression changed. "Has it already reached that point?"
After ending the call with Lu Yin, he contacted Xia Ji to confirm the Undying God's terrifying strength. If all of the Seven Skygods were at this level of strength, then they would not be able to withstand them. Kui Luo's strength was not weak, but he had still been suppressed.
Even Huang might not be able to win.
Even if they could stop the Seven Skygods, the Twelve Marquises had also arrived outside the battlefield. Their situation was becoming more and more desperate, and they could only take a gamble.
Xiu Ming ended the call and looked at the vast white tundra with a complicated expression. What would happen if those sinister and terrifying faces were unlocked?
Would it make things worse?
He could not tell, but since Elder Chan had asked him to unlock the Undying God's Domain, then he had no choice but to take a gamble.
Following Xiu Ming's orders, all of the Lockbreakers stationed here moved out and prepared to lockbreak this star. They were only waiting for Elder Chan's instructions before they could do so.
When Haoyue received Xiu Ming's notification, he thought that he had misheard and confirmed it several times before giving up.
"Master, are we really going to lockbreak?"
Yi Drieshui was at a loss.
Haoyue sighed. "Lockbreak then. Humanity's great calamity is upon us, and sometimes, we can only take a gamble."
Yi Drieshui looked down and saw a pair of terrifying eyes staring at her. They were staring at this part of space, and they were hoping to come out.
She gulped, suppressed her fear, and began to prepare for her lockbreaking.
…
The most tragic battlefields were outside the Starfall Sea, in the Chaos Flowzone, and in the Technocracy.
Lu Yin had already ordered the Great Eastern Alliance to gather at the Blazing Mist Flowzone.
He had originally planned to return to the Innerverse's Blazing Mist Flowzone under Kui Luo's lead, but he had received a request for help from the Smoke Gulp Mountains, which was located at the border between the Neoverse and the Cosmic Sea.
"That's where the half-ancestor battlefield is. You can't go there," Kui Luo said seriously.
Lu Yin replied, "Let's get closer and take a look. If we can't save them, then forget it. But we should try our best to save them. The smoke from the Smoke Gulp Mountains is very important, and they helped me during the battle at the Cosmic Sea."
Kui Luo was unhappy. "Do you really think that you can save everyone?
Let me tell you, many people will die in this calamity. No one can stop it. "
"But not now." Lu Yin was firm.
Kui Luo had no choice but to bring him along. He wanted to dump Lu Yin, but when he thought about how this was the only heir of the Lu family, he decided against it.
"Remember, the moment I appear, that Seven Skygods fighting with the Drunkard might reveal their true strength. That's why I can't do anything. If you realize that you can't save them, then run," Kui Luo reminded him again before carefully bringing Lu Yin east.
Lu Yin naturally knew that he was not looking for death. The Smoke Gulp Mountains were not worth his time. However, it was reasonable to say that even though they were in the same direction, they might not necessarily be connected to the half-ancestor battlefield. Otherwise, he would not be able to save them in time.
To the east of the Cosmic Sea, where it intersected with the Neoverse, there was a mountain range of cigarette butts that continuously sank to the bottom of the sea. This was the Smoke Gulp Mountains.
Within the mountain range, Lonely Old Man constantly roared as he used his white smoke battle technique to attack the force that was suppressing the mountain range. However, that force did not budge at all.
The disciples of the Smoke Gulp Mountains continuously extracted white smoke for Lonely Old Man.
Lonely Little Fool was also in the crowd, and he was on the verge of tears. They had originally planned to go to the Innerverse and join the Great Eastern Alliance, but they had never expected to be inexplicably attacked as soon as they arrived. It was fine if it was just a small attack, but the force that had struck them did not disperse and continued to press down on them. If they could not counteract this force, then the Smoke Gulp Mountains would be pressed to the bottom of the sea. They would then have no choice but to abandon the mountain range and flee.
The Smoke Gulp Mountains had not encountered such a crisis for many years, and they were unwilling to give up.
The seawater had already spread to the top of the mountain, and there was only a very small area left. Further up were the burning flames that continuously spewed out white smoke.
"Dad, are you done yet?
I can't hold on any longer! "Lonely Little Fool wailed.
