There was no lack of such people in human history, but Lu Yin had never expected that the next person to shock him would be the Blood Ancestor.
No matter what, Lu Yin had seen everything that the Blood Ancestor had done for humanity. Now was the time to free him.
At the entrance to the Starfall Sea, the stars flickered as Lu Yin used Sirius to stall the Blood Ancestor. "Senior, it's time to go home."
The Blood Ancestor was already on the verge of death, his body rotting and blood flowing everywhere. He was half-conscious, but when he heard Lu Yin's words, he suddenly woke up. "No, the Corpse God is watching."
"Leave it to me," Lu Yin said as he dragged the Blood Ancestor back. At the same time, a pair of giant scarlet eyes appeared outside the Starfall Sea, staring at the Fifth Mainland through the entrance. The blood-red eyes were filled with an extremely cold and bloodthirsty aura. This was the Corpse God, the terrifying powerhouse who had scared away the Ancestral Tortoise with a single glance.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold as he activated Star Explosion.
The Corpse God reached out to block the opening that the Blood Ancestor had left behind, but suddenly, the star exploded, and a powerful force forced the Corpse God's hand back. Lu Yin's eyes narrowed; this wasn't enough. Continue! Star Explosion!
Star Explosion! Multiple stars exploded, and the Corpse God's hand cracked, forcing it to retreat.
At that moment, the Sky-Supporting Pillar expanded and blocked the entrance to the Starfall Sea.
The entire process didn't take long, but it changed the situation of the Fifth Mainland.
Ever since that liquid had appeared twenty years ago and devoured the Astral Origin Universe, humanity had been fighting with the Everlasting Tribe. If not for the ancient powerhouses that had appeared, humanity would have fallen long ago. Even so, even with the Sky-Supporting Pillar blocking the entrance to the Starfall Sea, the Everlasting Tribe still couldn't escape.
Lu Yin had finally exterminated the Everlasting Tribe in the Fifth Mainland and sealed the gap between the Fifth Mainland and the Everlasting Tribe, bringing safety to the Fifth Mainland.
In outer space, the Blood Ancestor's body swayed. His injuries had been too severe, and his inner world had been destroyed as well. He had fallen from the Progenitor realm, and even if he recovered from his injuries, he wouldn't be able to return to his former strength.
He looked at the gap in the Starfall Sea and sighed; it had finally been sealed. Was that voice Lu Yin?
"Senior Blood Ancestor?"
Leng Qing and the others arrived, shocked.
The Blood Ancestor looked back, and his face paled. "It's been hard on you all these years." Leng Qing had remained on the front lines ever since she had returned from the main hall. Wang Si and the others could take turns, including Hen Xin and Lu Buzheng, however, Leng Qing had never retreated, and she had no interest in establishing the Sky.
"Senior, which expert blocked the gap?"
She was Cai 'er, and she came from the Fifth Mainland. She was the sect master of the Jade Kettle Heavenly Gate. Although she was the sect master of the Heavenly Gate, her mind was not focused on establishing the Heavenly Gate. When it was not her turn to go to the front lines, no one knew what she was doing.
Wang Si had also arrived. Her inner world had once been destroyed, but after so many years, even though her inner world had yet to fully recover, her strength had barely reached the level of a Half Martial Ancestor.
The Blood Ancestor didn't know how to answer Leng Qing's question. That voice was indeed Lu Yin's, but how could Lu Yin be so strong?
Although he had blocked the gap with his body and was half-awake, he still knew that only twenty years had passed.
Suddenly, the Blood Ancestor's expression changed. "Let's go to the Outerverse's Solar System Sect."
"Senior, what about this place?"
Cai 'er hesitated.
The Blood Ancestor replied, "There's no need for us. The Eternals' frontlines have all been wiped out, and even if there are some who managed to escape, there's no need for a Half-Ancestor to act. Let the people below deal with them. The expert who blocked the gap in the Starfall Sea is currently in the Above Heaven Sect."
Leng Qing's eyes burned with passion. "Then you should hurry up and pay your respects."
…
Back in the Solar System, on Earth, atop Mount Tai, Hen Xin and the rest stared at Lu Yin in shock. That Progenitor's boundless strength terrified them. How could an Envoy release such terrifying strength?
They weren't the only ones; within the Solar System, Kui Luo, Ni Huang, and the other Half-Ancestors also sensed it. They all looked at Mount Tai; where did this strength come from?
Could one of the six Sect Masters on Mount Tai have broken through to the Progenitor realm?
When the Blood Ancestor was freed, the revolving stars around Lu Yin's body disappeared, and he canceled his connection with the Sirius stars. He retracted his gaze and looked at Hen Xin and the rest. "Do I qualify to be this era's Navigator?"
"Was that Sirius Art?"
Elder Chan was shocked.
Lu Yin replied, "That's right. Although I haven't reached the Progenitor realm, I received a gift from Progenitor Chen and possess his strength."
Lu Buzheng was stunned. When they had first arrived in this era, they hadn't understood Progenitor Chen and the others. Now, they clearly understood that this era had produced many geniuses, and Progenitor Chen had dominated two mountains and one ocean. He was a genius amongst geniuses, and even in the Above Heavens era, Progenitor Chen wouldn't be weak. The Nine Mountains and Eight Seas wouldn't lower the inheritance test because of time, and Progenitor Chen's ability to dominate two mountains and one ocean was proof of his strength.
Lu Yin could use Progenitor Chen's strength, which meant that he was invincible in this era.
"You can use the strength of a Progenitor as an Envoy?
That's impossible, not even in our era. "Hen Xin couldn't believe it.
Lu Yin didn't reply and simply stood there quietly. These people looked down on this era from the bottom of their hearts. Even if this era had produced geniuses like Progenitor Chen and the Talisman Progenitor, it couldn't change their arrogance from the Above Heavens era. After all, the Above Heavens era had the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, the Three Realms, and the Six Daos.
It was undeniable that the Above Heavens era was a golden age that humanity couldn't surpass, but that didn't mean that humanity couldn't reach the same level of glory.
The Fifth Mainland no longer had any Eternals, and with Progenitor Chen's strength, it was under Lu Yin's control, allowing him to develop in peace. He had too many plans to complete, too many things to do, and too many secrets to unravel. Now, he finally had the confidence to do so.
The Lady of Fate looked at Lu Yin with a strange glint in her eyes. "With Progenitor Chen's power level and the Progenitor's Sword, you're not just walking on behalf of the Path Master, but also the Progenitor. You're truly walking on behalf of the heavens. Congratulations, Daoist."
Lu Buzheng smiled. No wonder he had dared to make things difficult for Hen Xin and Jue Yi. With such strength, who could be his opponent?
At this time, the Blood Progenitor, Leng Qing, Cai 'er, and Wang Si arrived. The frontlines already had a sourcebox array that led directly to the solar system.
After arriving in the solar system, they headed straight for Earth's Mount Tai.
Ni Huang and the others saw this and thought for a moment before rushing over as well.
Soon, sixteen Half-Ancestors had gathered on the tiny mountain. Elder Gong, Qing Ping, and a few other Half-Ancestors were not present, but the rest of the Half-Ancestors did.
Under the shocked gazes of the Half-Ancestors, the Blood Progenitor faced Lu Yin and treated him as an equal. "Thank you, Mr. Lu."
Xia Ji looked at Lu Yin as if he had seen a ghost. What was the meaning of this?
He looked at Hen Xin and the others, and his heart sank. It couldn't be. Could that Progenitor's strength have come from Lu Yin?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could such a thing happen? This brat was clearly a third Tribulation Origin Emissary.
Kui Luo looked at Lu Yin with a strange expression. How could such a thing happen?
Leng Qing and the others who had followed the Blood Progenitor here were also in disbelief.
This was because they had sensed Progenitor's strength and had even seen Marquis Qing Zhu and Marquis Wuyi die to that strength. However, they had never imagined that it had come from Lu Yin. This was unrealistic, and it felt like their worldview had been shattered.
Wang Si was the most unwilling to accept this fact. If Lu Yin had such strength, what would she do?
Lu Yin smiled. "Senior, how does it feel to be home?"
The Blood Progenitor sighed. "I thought that I would die there, but fortunately, Mr. Lu. Thank you again."
Lu Yin shook his head and looked at the Blood Progenitor with respect. "Senior, you blocked the gap with your body for the sake of humanity and protected the Fifth Mainland with your life. This junior admires your spirit. In the future, you can just call me Lu Yin or Little Seven."
Lu Yin was biased against the Sixth Mainland, and everyone in the Fifth Mainland was biased against the Sixth Mainland's cultivators. However, they only admired the Blood Progenitor. Not every Progenitor could do such a thing. For example, Hen Xin and the others had constantly set up sourcebox arrays in the Solar System so that they could escape when they could no longer hold on. However, the Blood Progenitor had been willing to die to deal with the Eternals.
Even an astral beast was worthy of respect, let alone someone from the Sixth Mainland.
"Alright, calling you Mr. Lu is indeed strange. So, Little Seven, what do you plan to do next?"
The Blood Progenitor did not decline, as his status gave him the right to address Lu Yin as such.
Lu Yin replied, "I'll still rebuild the Sect above Heaven and release the Fifth Pagoda to teach and pass down human civilization. At the same time, I'll develop the Fifth Mainland in preparation to deal with the Eternals. It's time for humanity to unite."
Hen Xin's eyes flashed. If they united at this time, Lu Yin would have complete control. Unless he could break through the Progenitor realm, the Fifth Mainland's history would be rewritten.
"I'm old, and there are many things that I can't do. If there's anything you want to do, then do it. My injuries are too important, and I need to go into seclusion to recover." The Blood Progenitor then looked at Jiu Yao. "All members of the Sixth Mainland, let go of past grievances. From today onwards, fully cooperate with Lu Yin.
Jiu Yao respectfully replied, "This junior obeys."
Lan Xian bowed as well. "This junior obeys."
Now that the Blood Progenitor had resolved the Sixth Mainland's hidden danger, Lu Yin knew that the Sixth Mainland would no longer be an obstacle to him. Even if someone wanted to become an obstacle, they would need to have the strength to do so.
The Blood Progenitor spoke a few more words before leaving, as he had achieved his goal.
Lu Yin looked at the other Half-Progenitors before finally looking at Leng Qing. "Senior, you were once the leader of the Elysium Gate. Are you willing to continue?"
Leng Qing nodded. She was no stranger to Lu Yin, as she had gone straight to the main hall after waking up. They had interacted while traveling through spacetime, and they had gotten to know each other. Of course, there had been some disputes over the Progenitor's Sword, but Lu Yin still respected Leng Qing's character. "The Eternals have already been exterminated. Since the Twelve Elysium Gates have been rebuilt, I naturally cannot shirk my responsibility."
"Me too," Cai 'er said. When she saw Lu Yin's confusion, she hurriedly added, "I was also one of the leaders of the Twelve Elysium Gates during the Above Sky Sect era."
Lu Yin nodded. "If that's the case, then of course."
He did not know what the Twelve Elysium Gates' purpose had been during the Above Sky Sect era, but in this era, the way he saw it, the Twelve Elysium Gates' purpose was to protect the development of the human race. As long as a Progenitor did not appear, the Twelve Elysium Gates would be invincible.
"Leader Hen Xin, you're still the leader of the Three Ultimates. What do you think?"
Lu Yin looked at Hen Xin, but there was no joy in his voice.
