The fish looked at Chu Yuan, "Eh, what a familiar two-legged beast. Has Lord Fish seen you before? Come, pay your respects to Lord Fish. Lord Fish will teach you how to become an ancestor."
Chu Yuan stared blankly at the fish. He never would have thought that he would be able to see this fish again, much less in such close proximity. "You're still alive?"
"What do you mean?
Lord Cursed Fish?
That's too much! Girl, beat him up! "The fish slapped Xi Qi's head.
Chu Yuan stared at the fish in confusion. Was this the same fish?
That fish was very big and very powerful. As for this one, although its voice was exactly the same and its tone was very annoying, making people want to cook it, it was unlikely that it was that fish.
"You know it?"
Lu Yin asked.
Chu Yuan reacted and remembered that Lu Yin was still around. "It looks like it, but it shouldn't be."
"Are you talking about the fish in the Progenitor's back garden?"
Lu Yin asked.
Chu Yuan replied, "Didn't you see it before? Even the Divine Eagle couldn't do anything to it. This one definitely isn't it."
"Maybe it just lost its cultivation," Lu Yin said. If Big Sis could become the Multiform Netherworld, why couldn't this fish be a battleship fish? Of course, that wasn't necessarily the case.
Chu Yuan looked at Lu Yin, "You called me here because of it, right? It doesn't recognize me, and I don't know if it's a battleship fish. Even if it is, it seems like it can't remember its past, so it's useless to look for me."
Lu Yin let Xi Qi leave, and as the fish's voice faded away, he asked, "I'm curious why you're still in the Solar System."
"With your strength, you don't need to become a Dao Disciple."
Lu Yin laughed, "You still want to be a Dao Disciple?
Fate supports me, so it's meaningless even if you become a Dao Disciple. "
Chu Yuan raised his head, "This is the first step in my life's perfect plan. After that, I'll be the Sect Master of Elysium, Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, and finally, I'll become a Dao Master."
"You're thinking too much. You're indeed powerful and the strongest in your generation, but that doesn't mean that you'll definitely become an ancestor. Besides, Nine Mountains and Eight Seas isn't easy to obtain."
Chu Yuan's eyes flashed, "You've experienced it?"
Lu Yin smiled, "Yes, I failed."
"I won't fail." Chu Yuan was very confident.
Lu Yin shook his head. "Perhaps. Legacies don't depend on cultivation, but even if you can become a Progenitor, so can I. You'll always be below me. This isn't a perfect life."
Chu Yuan clenched his fists. In the past, he had indeed planned his perfect life and was confident that he could do it. However, the person in front of him was a head above him. Even if he could do everything in his plan, with the gap between them, it was impossible for him to beat the person in front of him. It was hard for him to accept that such a monster was born in this era.
Lu Yin saw Chu Yuan's ugly expression, but he wasn't too happy about it. He had seen this sort of expression many times before, from the Astral Combat Academy's student leaders to the Top 100 Rankings, then the Ten Arbiters, the Five Astral Scions, the Four Young Ancestors, and so on. Lu Yin had seen this sort of expression many times throughout his journey.
Chu Yuan's only value to him was that he had met the primogenitor during the era of the Above Heaven Sect.
"What kind of person was the primogenitor?"
Lu Yin asked.
…
Chu Yuan left, leaving Lu Yin with a strange expression on his face. Was the progenitor really like that?
Whatever, it had nothing to do with him. Lu Yin took out Mount Supreme and entered once more.
He had originally planned to release the people inside.
It was especially so for Xing Kai. Heng Xin did not even ask about it, as he probably thought that he had killed Xing Kai. However, after thinking about it for a bit, he decided not to. Other than Xing Kai, even if the others wanted to come out, they would have to wait until the Xinkong Corridor was restored and they could connect to the Starry Sky of Trees.
For now, they would have to be locked up for a while.
Long Xi was an exception, but she didn't want to come out.
Lu Yin entered Mount Supreme and approached Long Xi. He wanted to take the sapling out, but he couldn't keep it locked up for too long.
When he entered Mount Supreme, he saw Long Xi and the sapling. Xia Taili was there as well. When she saw Lu Yin, she gritted her teeth and tried to kick him, but he easily blocked her, "Jump again and I'll lock you up."
She glared at him, "What's the difference between now and being locked up?"
Lu Yin casually tossed her far away.
The sapling hopped over, its branches wrapping around Lu Yin's fingers much tighter than before. It had learned its lesson; Lu Yin hadn't taken it out the last time, so it didn't plan on letting go this time.
"Take it out, it's bored," Long Xi said.
Lu Yin nodded, "What about you?
Do you want to go out? "
Long Xi asked, "What's going on outside?"
Lu Yin asked.
"Everything's stabilized."
Long Xi looked at him, "Since you're so relaxed, does that mean the situation is in your favor?
What about the Cosmic Tree Expeditionary Force? "
Lu Yin thought about it and said, "I captured them."
Long Xi was shocked. She had guessed that the situation was in Lu Yin's favor and that the Cosmic Tree Expeditionary Force wasn't doing so well, but she hadn't expected them to be captured.
Humanity's greatest enemy was the Eternals. Even if Lu Yin wanted to deal with the Cosmic Tree Expeditionary Force, this wasn't the right time.
"The threat of the Eternals has been resolved?"
Long Xi was shocked.
Lu Yin nodded, "For now, the Fifth Mainland is safe. It's a pity that the Astral Source Universe has been devoured, and no one can solve the problem. Humanity's cultivation civilization is regressing, but fortunately, the power of the Above Heavens era has appeared, and time will make up for it."
"How do you plan on dealing with the Cosmic Tree Expeditionary Force?"
Long Xi asked.
Lu Yin hadn't thought about it yet. Normally, if the Cosmic Tree Expeditionary Force wanted to kill him, he wouldn't let them go. However, the Cosmic Tree Expeditionary Force had been working with the Fifth Mainland's Human Domain to fight against the Eternals for the past twenty years. If they were killed, it would have a negative impact on the current situation. Others didn't care about the grudge between Lu Yin and the Cosmic Tree Expeditionary Force; they only knew that Lu Yin had killed his comrades, which was a very vile thing to do.
Some people wouldn't give up on the opportunity to smear his name, as it would be detrimental to his control over the Above Heavens.
Deep down, he didn't want to be slaughtered, but he couldn't just let it happen.
The Four Cardinal Scales had an irreconcilable enmity with the Lu family. Would Lu Yin give up on revenge just because they were on the frontlines against the Eternals?
Then what was his motivation to persevere?
For the sake of the Fifth Mainland, the Lu family was willing to bear the infamy and defend against the Eternals, but the Four Cardinal Scales still wanted to banish the Lu family. They had to bear this crime and pay the price.
Lu Yin didn't want to be a selfless hero, but he also didn't want to be a sinner who started a civil war.
This was the Sorcerer God's overt scheme. He couldn't take revenge or give up.
"A Half-Ancestor can't deal with the Lu family," Long Xi said indifferently.
Lu Yin looked up at Long Xi.
He knew what she meant.
The enmity between the Four Cardinal Scales and the Lu family wasn't something that a mere Half-Ancestor could decide. Even if Ni Huang and the others insulted the Lu family, the Lu family's banishment had little to do with them. Lu Yin's enemies were the Progenitors of the Four Cardinal Scales.
"The Progenitors are the main evils, but these Half-Ancestors and the cultivators from the Four Cardinal Scales who insulted the Lu family are all evil. If it weren't for them, the Astral Tree Society wouldn't have attacked the Lu family, and a Progenitor wouldn't have personally spread the news. The sins of these people are not small, especially Wang Si." Lu Yin's eyes flashed with killing intent at the mention of Wang Si. "That old slut must die."
Long Xi said, "The Four Cardinal Scales is determined to exterminate the Lu family. Even so, those who are loyal to the Lu family won't be slaughtered."
"You mean the Star Alliance?"
Lu Yin slapped his head. Right, he had almost forgotten. There was also the Star Alliance, which was made up of Envoys who were loyal to the Lu family or hostile to the Four Cardinal Scales. It would be a pity to kill them all, so the Four Cardinal Scales had sent them to the frontlines against the Eternals.
When the Great Eastern Alliance had formed the Heavenly Sin Army, Lu Yin had thought of the Star Alliance. How could he have suddenly forgotten?
If not for Long Xi's reminder, he would still be vexed.
Ni Huang, Xia De, Old Whiteghost, Wang Si, and Xia Ji — a total of five Half-Progenitors. In addition to the cultivators who were loyal to the Four Cardinal Scales, they could join the Heavenly Sin Army and become a sharp blade against the Eternals or his enemies.
The Heavenly Sin Army was still the Heavenly Sin Army, and the only difference was that it used to belong to the Great Eastern Alliance. Now that the Great Eastern Alliance was gone, the Heavenly Sin Army would belong to the Above Heaven Sect, and Lu Yin would still be the only one who would listen to orders.
Long Xi was helpless, as she had no other choice. Compared to Ancestor Ni Huang being killed by Lu Yin, it would be better to join an organization like the Star Alliance. That way, they would have a chance of survival.
With the White Dragon Clan's abilities, it shouldn't be a problem for them to save their ancestor in the future. Furthermore, this would give Lu Yin a chance to avoid falling out with the White Dragon Clan.
From her standpoint, she didn't want Lu Yin to fall out with the White Dragon Clan. This was also a bit of her selfishness.
Not long after, Lu Yin left Mount Supreme with the sapling and went outside.
The sapling was a bit nervous, and its branches tightly wrapped around Lu Yin, refusing to let go. However, after Lu Yin played with it for half a day, it recovered.
"Where's that big tree that ran away?"
Lu Yin asked Wang Wen through wireless communication.
Wang Wen checked, "It's gone. It ran away when we first moved here. Balaror, who was guarding it, reported it, but who would care about a tree at that time?"
Lu Yin shook his head. Forget it, it ran away. There were too many strange things in the universe, and there were still many things that he didn't understand. He didn't have time to care about that big tree.
The sapling looked at the Ancestral Turtle curiously.
Lu Yin quietly looked at the sapling, feeling happy and relaxed when he saw it.
The sapling bounced around as if it was dancing, and it didn't feel tired even after playing for a long time.
Lu Yin brought it to play on the Ancestral Turtle's back, then to outer space, and finally to Earth. He drew out an area for the sapling to play while he went to absorb cauldron qi. It was time to absorb cauldron qi. He had gathered all four cauldrons, and he needed to cultivate the Nine Yang Cauldron Transformation.
Not long after Lu Yin left, the sapling grew bored. Lu Yin wasn't there, and neither was the big tree that could run away. It didn't know what to play, but its branches drooped down as if it was thinking about life.
After a long time, the green branches suddenly rose up as if it had thought of something. It shook a bit and slowly disappeared. It didn't really disappear, but rather stepped into the Astral Source Universe.
