Old Whiteghost snorted coldly. "Don't try to be smart. The Progenitors haven't come out because they don't want the Abandoned Land to be destroyed and the Eternals to succeed. However, if you really want to court death, the Four Way Scale will definitely make you regret it."
"Now is not the time for internal strife. The Seven Skygods can still enter and leave, so it doesn't matter to us. At most, we'll just leave the Abandoned Lands. What about you guys?
Once the Eternals take over the Abandoned Land, you'll have no choice but to flee to the Starry Sky of the Trees. That's our world. Do you want to be hunted down and enslaved forever? "
Ni Huang shouted.
Kui Luo's vital energy exploded. "So what if you're trying to kill me? This old man has been chased by you for so many years, and I've been fine. At worst, I'll just topple the Four Cardinal Scales."
Old Whiteghost sneered, "What a joke.
A Progenitor can easily suppress them. "
"We can break through to the Progenitor realm as well." Chief Inquisitor Qing Ping made his move, and the Scale of Scales extended beneath Old Whiteghost's feet. Old Whiteghost was apprehensive, but Xia Ji suddenly raised his blade and slashed at Qing Ping. Lu Yin was shocked. "Senior Brother, watch out!"
Xia Ji's attack was blocked by Old Zen. "What are you trying to do?"
Xia Ji's blade pressed down. "Return to your ancestry." As he spoke, the blade twisted and two layers of blade shadows appeared. Three blade wills pressed down. Not only did they attack Qing Ping, but they also attacked Elder Chan.
Lu Yin looked at Xia De. Xia De must have said something; otherwise, Xia Ji would not have acted.
To acknowledge his ancestors and return to his clan?
The Seven Courts' Xia family was likely a seed left behind by the Xia family, just like how the Bai family had left behind the Daynight clan.
However, Xia De had overestimated Xia Ji. Although Xia Ji was powerful, he was no match for Elder Chan.
The situation changed again and again, and the contradictions of humans were exposed. This might be the reason why the God of Forgotten Ruins and the others left.
Without external conflicts, internal conflicts would erupt.
In the end, Hen Xin still stepped in to help Ni Huang and the others, crushing Qing Ping's scales.
Lu Buzheng and the others stopped and looked at Hen Xin.
Ni Huang and the others did not understand why Hen Xin would help them.
"Henxin, what do you mean?"
Lu Buzheng asked in a low voice.
Hen Xin looked at Lu Buzheng but did not reply. Instead, he looked at Ni Huang. "From now on, listen to me. Follow me, and I'll help you. Otherwise, I'll help them."
Lu Buzheng raised his eyebrows and shouted, "You want to use us?"
Lu Yin had never thought that Hen Xin, who seemed the most honest and honest, would actually be the most black-hearted. He would use such a method to force Ni Huang and the others to make a choice without any room for negotiation.
Ni Huang did not expect to be faced with such a choice and was momentarily stunned.
"No wonder people call you Hen Hei Zi. You climbed from an ordinary person to the position of Heaven Gate's Sect Leader. You are indeed not an ordinary person," Jue Yi said.
Hen Xin stared at Ni Huang. "How do you choose?"
Ni Huang clenched her fists. "Let's form an alliance. Otherwise, we'd rather be trapped than follow you."
"Sure," Hen Xin agreed without hesitation.
Lu Buzheng gritted his teeth. "Hen Blackie, you're despicable!"
Kui Luo sneered, "The Ancient God was the Dao Master of the Third Mainland, yet he betrayed the humans. Sure enough, the subordinates of such people are all the same."
Hen Xin looked up. "The Third Mainland and the Fifth Mainland have always had a grudge against each other. What's so strange about that?" He then looked at Lu Yin. "From the looks of it, you have the greatest influence on the final outcome of this battle. Do you want to fight or make peace? Choose one."
As he looked at Hen Xin, Lu Yin recalled the first time they had met. Hen Xin had immediately determined that Lu Yin was the one in charge and had analyzed many things. Now that he thought about it, Hen Xin was truly shrewd.
He had clearly seen through the situation and had used this opportunity to pull Ni Huang and the others over. He was considered an extremely powerful force in the Fifth Mainland.
But what was his goal in doing so?
There was also Jue Yi, who wanted Lu Yin to listen to him. They all seemed to have their own goals, and Lu Yin desperately wanted to understand the thoughts of these ancient powerhouses.
Since the times were different, Lu Yin was unable to see through them.
"Make peace," Lu Yin spoke up, but he looked at Lu Buzheng and shook his head.
Lu Buzheng glared at Ni Huang and the others with murderous intent before turning to Hen Xin. "You're ruthless enough. Hen Hei Zi, remember, don't fall into my hands."
Hen Xin retracted his gaze. "We'll talk about it after I fall into your hands."
"No," Wang Si shouted, glaring at Lu Yin. "I want you dead." She looked at Hen Xin. "We can't let this bastard of the Lu family go. We have to kill him."
Hen Xin was indifferent. "No one asked for your opinion."
Jue Yi replied, "I want to capture that kid as well."
"You won't be able to," Elder Chan said to Jue Yi. "No one can. He was the one who led the charge in the battle against the Eternals. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been able to block the entrance to the Starfall Sea. I won't let you deal with him."
Whitefiend said coldly, "Is it worth it for a bastard of the Lu family?
The New Void Corridor will definitely be repaired, and the Eternals will definitely invade that gap. Even without the threat of the Eternals, the Four Way Scales can promise that we will allow the people of the Abandoned Lands to cultivate in the Astral Tree Domain and compete for cultivation resources fairly. Without the Lu family's bastard, we have no conflicts with you. Are you willing to become enemies with us just to protect that bastard? "
Elder Chan's expression was complicated. "You're asking me if it's worth it?
Of course it is. I am indebted to the Lu family, and if it weren't for them, I wouldn't have obtained the ancestral qi of the three suns, nor would I have been able to establish the Hall of Honor. All of you left your seeds in the Fifth Mainland, and the Hall of Honor is a seed left behind by the Lu family. We resent the primeval surnames for abandoning this mainland, but we are also indebted to them. "
"In the past, I would have gone against my conscience and ignored the Lu family's kindness to us and abandoned Lu Yin, but not now. I am protecting him not only because of the Lu family's kindness, but also because of himself. Which one of you is willing to share your inheritance with the rest of the universe?
Lu Yin is our Fifth Mainland's benefactor, and we will not abandon him. "
In the distance, Lu Yin's eyes flashed. Elder Chan's ancestral qi of the three suns had come from the Lu family?
Then why had the Lu family treated him like that?
If Lu Yin hadn't taken the initiative to take over the war against the Astral Beast Domain, Elder Chan might not have protected him. It was obvious that Elder Chan had been wary of him back then.
Heavenly Master Shangsheng said, "Elder Chan is right. That is how it should be."
Elder Gong smiled. "That's right."
Chief Referee Qing Ping did not say anything, but he was the first to step forward when someone attacked Lu Yin. This was enough to show his attitude. That person was his junior brother.
Hen Xin frowned. "It doesn't make sense, and there's no need to persist. Let's set aside our past grudges for now. The threat of the Eternals hasn't been dealt with yet."
Lu Buzheng was the most indignant. He was the one who had instigated this civil war, and he only wanted to avenge the Lu family.
Jue Yi did not want to let Lu Yin off either, but it seemed that he could not do anything to Lu Yin. He could not even break through the Ancestral Turtle's defenses.
Lu Yin looked around and felt a little helpless. These Half-Ancestors were all shrewd, and it was already difficult for them to severely injure Wang Si. It would be impossible for them to deal with Ni Huang and the others.
On the surface, Lu Yin seemed to have the greatest influence, but it was also because of this that Hen Xin had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Suddenly, all of the Half Martial Ancestors looked towards the west. An old man walked out slowly, and his gaze was gentle. There was fatigue and ancientness in his eyes.
Behind him were Half-Ancestor Navagraha and Jialan of the Sky.
"Blood Ancestor." Lan Xian and the Medicine Immortal hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
The other Half-Ancestors all looked solemn, but they bowed. "Greetings, Progenitor."
Even Lu Buzheng and the others bowed. Although they had come from the ancient era of the Above Heaven Sect and were much more senior than the Blood Progenitor, a Progenitor was still a Progenitor. They were only Half-Ancestors, so they had to bow before a Progenitor unless the other party was an enemy.
Lu Yin stood on the Ancestral Turtle's back and bowed like the Mavis Clan. "Greetings, Blood Progenitor."
"Greetings, Blood Progenitor."
…
The Blood Progenitor's real name was Xue Lie Zi, and he was one of the Sixth Mainland's Three Progenitors. He was also the only Progenitor who had not shown any hostility towards the Fifth Mainland.
When the Sea King had broken through the Three Upper Gates, he had drawn out the Astral Tree to restore the Fifth Mainland's sky, which had led to the Sixth Mainland invading the Fifth Mainland. The Martial Progenitor had personally taken action, and if not for the Symbol Progenitor, he would have been able to sweep through the entire Fifth Mainland.
The Secret Progenitor had even betrayed the human race and attacked the Burial Garden in a futile attempt to destroy the Burial Garden and destroy humanity's most ancient inheritance. Fortunately, Progenitor Chen had intervened and stopped the attack, severely injuring the Progenitor.
Only the Blood Progenitor had not acted against the Fifth Mainland, and he had been fighting against the Eternals the entire time.
When Lu Yin had broken through to become an Emissary, the Astral Source Universe had been stirred up, which had drawn out the Blood Progenitor. It was also at that time that he had met the Blood Progenitor for the first time.
Prior to this, Lu Yin had never come into close contact with a Progenitor.
Now, the Blood Progenitor was the only Progenitor left in the Fifth Mainland.
"It seems like you don't plan on fighting anymore," the Blood Progenitor's voice rang out as he swept his gaze across all the Half-Ancestors, including Lu Yin.
Elder Chan looked at the Blood Progenitor and respectfully asked, "Why have you come, Senior?"
The Blood Progenitor clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the Starfall Sea tiredly. "How could I not come? This is humanity's greatest calamity. If I'm not careful, I'll end up like the Nine Ministers and not even be able to keep my corpse."
Jiu Yao's expression was ugly, and his eyes were filled with grief.
The Nine Ministers was the Martial Progenitor's name, and he had been killed outside the Starfall Sea. Even his head had been thrown out, and it had been an extremely tragic sight.
"You did well to seal the entrance and fight for a chance of survival for us humans. Unfortunately, there is still a gap. If we want to guard that gap, we will have to pay a great price. But no matter what, everyone here is responsible, including myself," the Blood Ancestor said word by word.
Lu Yin asked, "Senior, what do you plan to do?"
He had interacted with the Blood Progenitor before, and this old man was easy to talk to.
Behind the Blood Progenitor, Jialan Tianlan looked at Lu Yin with an arrogant expression. Her sense of superiority grew as she looked at Lu Yin. Lu Yin's status had been acknowledged, and even the Blood Progenitor was very polite to him. He had acknowledged that Lu Yin would definitely break through to the Progenitor realm. In this universe, no, in this era, Lu Yin was at the peak.
The Blood Progenitor looked at Lu Yin. "Draw lots. I will forever guard the entrance, just like before. However, I won't be alone, but rather with at least four other Half-Ancestors. Because of the power above us, a Half-Ancestor's strength is enough to guard the entrance. Otherwise, even a Progenitor would not be able to guard it, let alone a Half-Ancestor. Of course, the further we go, the more Half-Ancestors we'll need to guard. This will depend on how the Eternals attack.
"For now, their attacks aren't that strong, and they might not even be there."
Everyone fell silent and fell into deep thought.
They needed a Half-Ancestor to guard the entrance, which meant that they would be facing the Eternals on the frontlines. This was not a good job, but it had to be done.
