After a moment of silence, Bai Wangyuan's tone softened. "If you don't want to tell me, I can ask Xian 'er. This kind of thing can't be hidden."
"Up to you," Lu Yin said.
Bai Wangyuan looked at Lu Yin. "If you don't hurt Xian 'er, the Four Cardinal Scales will not act against you before you become a Half-Ancestor. Do you agree to this condition?"
Lu Yin could not really fight to the death with the Four Cardinal Scales. Most importantly, the Eternals were watching, and they knew everything that Lu Yin had done. For example, when he had fought with Xia Shenji in the Top Realm, the Corpse God had drawn Xia Shenji away at a crucial moment. That scene had made Lu Yin even more wary of the Eternals.
The Eternals had unimaginable foundations, and they had destroyed four continents in a row. Lu Yin had to be on guard.
"Also, release the remaining members of the Lu family, including those from the Star Alliance and the Red Garden. In return, I will release the expeditionary army and the Four Cardinal Scales," Lu Yin said.
…
While Lu Yin and Bai Wangyuan were negotiating, the Seven Skygods gathered outside the Starfall Sea.
"Witch Spirit God, your plan failed," Black Wushen's cold voice rang out.
The Forgotten Ruins God smiled. "How interesting. You came up with such a huge plan. Not only did you come out personally, but we also couldn't do anything to that brat, all for your so-called overt scheme. In the end, not only did you not make them fight, but you also gave that brat the right to negotiate with Bai Wangyuan and the others. Witch Spirit God, was this your goal?
Haha. "
The Witch Spirit God's hoarse voice rang out as the Witch Spirit Doll floated in the air. "It was my mistake. I didn't expect that brat to improve so quickly. I accidentally allowed him to face a Progenitor directly."
"I originally planned to act during their internal conflict. Actually, if not for Mu Xie and Xi Wei's unexpected appearance that blocked Xia Shenji and Bai Sheng's attacks, my plan would have succeeded. At the very least, I would have been able to tear apart Limitless Kinetic Energy and destabilize the Astral Tree. The main problem was that I miscalculated Mu Xie and Xi Wei, but it doesn't matter. The Four Cardinal Scales and Lu Xiaoxuan will never reconcile. They will fight one day, and we can afford to wait."
Hei Wushen said in a low voice, "Forget about Xi Wei; she's not good at fighting. The main problem is Mu Xie. No one would have thought that a seemingly ordinary Progenitor who specializes in dealing with the Redbacks would have the same battle prowess as Xia Shenji. There's something wrong with him."
"Also, who is Mu's and Lu Xiaoxuan's master?
To be able to become Mu Xie's master, he definitely didn't appear out of nowhere. He must have left his name in history, "said the Forgotten Ruins God.
At this moment, the void suddenly split open, and endless darkness appeared. The Seven Heavenly Gods all looked over, and in the endless darkness, a scarlet vertical eye appeared. The huge scarlet vertical eye seemed to be branded on the hanging coffin. It did not emit any aura, but it caused the Seven Heavenly Gods to change their expressions.
Even the sleepy Undying God and the numb Zombie God woke up and bowed. "Greetings, True God."
No one knew that the sole True God of the Eternals had appeared outside the Starfall Sea without any warning or disturbance.
The Seven Skygods had also retracted their auras, making them seem like seven ordinary people.
"Activate the Turbid Stratagem." Five words. The scarlet vertical eye suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
The Seven Skygods bowed once again before looking at the Fifth Mainland. "It's finally begun. Prepare to restart civilization."
…
In the Fifth Mainland's Eternal Kingdom, Lu Yin and Bai Wangyuan had reached an agreement.
Lu Yin would not harm Bai Xianer, and similarly, before he became a Half-Ancestor, the Four Way Scales would not act against him. He also wanted to release all the remaining members of the Lu family, except for those on the back of the battlefield. Zhou Tang and the others were on the back of the battlefield. Lu Yin wanted the Four Way Scales to release them, but someone had to fight on the back of the battlefield. Bai Wangyuan's bottom line was to release all the remaining members of the Lu family, including those in the Red Garden.
Lu Yin also wanted to release all the people he had captured in the Starry Sky Trees, including those Half-Ancestors.
These were the conditions they had reached.
Although the conditions had been met, it was not something that could be done just by saying it.
Whether it was Lu Yin or Bai Wangyuan, they both needed a witness, and that was to complete three palm strikes in outer space.
The agreement of three palm strikes would be witnessed by both parties in three days.
Lu Yin walked out of the Eternal Kingdom. This was the limit of what he could do at the moment. They restricted each other, gave in, and feared each other.
If he had not grasped the method to threaten Bai Xianer, he would not have been able to threaten the Four Way Scales at all. He could block the first wave of attacks, but he could not block the second wave. The Four Way Scales would rather sacrifice the expeditionary army to kill him.
This was his value in the eyes of the Four Way Scales.
However, this balance would only be maintained until he became a Half-Ancestor. Once he became a Half-Ancestor, the Four Way Scales would not hesitate to act against him. At that time, he believed that Bai Xianer would have a way to not be affected by fate. He was stalling for time, and Bai Wangyuan was doing the same.
That would be when he would truly fight to the death with the Four Way Scales.
Then, once he and the Four Way Scales reached a temporary balance, what would the Eternals do? How would he bring back the Lu family?
Lu Yin looked up at the sky. Where was the Lu family?
Had it been destroyed?
…
Three days passed quickly. These three days were meant for Bai Wangyuan to convince Wang Fan, Xia Shenji, and the others. After all, Lu Yin's conditions were not targeted at the Frozen Immortal Sect, but rather the entire Four Way Scales.
No matter how Bai Wangyuan convinced the other three families, it had nothing to do with Lu Yin. He only wanted results.
On this day, the Caged Wyrm overlooked the heavens while Lu Yin stood on its head. Behind him were numerous Half-Ancestors, followed by a dense crowd of cultivators. All of them looked into the distance, where Bai Wangyuan walked out from the heavens with the Four Way Scales' agreement. "From this moment onwards, the Four Way Scales will no longer act against Lu Yin. In return, Lu Yin will not act against Bai Xianer. This agreement will automatically be nullified when Lu Yin becomes a Half-Ancestor."
It was a simple sentence, but it represented the Four Way Scales' submission.
Anyone who knew about the matter of the Starry Sky Tree banishing the Lu Family found it hard to believe. The Four Way Scales had banished the Lu Family and had become mortal enemies with the Lu Family. It was impossible for them to leave any Lu Family members behind, including those forces close to the Lu Family.
The King of Adventurers was sent to carry out all sorts of suicidal missions.
The Myriad Daos Clan and the Qiming Clan were both destroyed.
The Yu family was even reduced to a laughingstock in the Cosmic Trees.
Some members of the Lu family were even locked up in the Red Garden and turned into lunatics.
When Lu Yin had gone to the Cosmic Trees for the first time, his identity had been exposed, and he had been chased to the ends of the earth. The Four Way Scales had done everything they could to eliminate the Lu family.
But now, they had submitted. It was not because they wanted to, but because they had no other choice.
However, this helplessness was based on the premise that they had failed to kill Lu Yin twice.
In this era, who could remain unscathed after being killed twice by the Four Way Scales? Not to mention Envoys, even Half-Ancestors or Progenitors would find it difficult to do so.
Lu Yin had done it, and he had even stopped the third attempt to kill him. He had even threatened the Frigid Immortal Sect, forcing Bai Wangyuan to give up on trying to kill him and protect him instead. This was something that Lu Yin had accomplished after cultivating for so many years. This accomplishment was enough to shock anyone, including the Fog Ancestor.
Just as the Dragon Ancestor had said, even the Chen Ancestor, Xia Shang, could not have done it. He had only survived because of the Lu family's protection. Lu Yin, on the other hand, had relied on his own strength and ability to withstand two, no, three Progenitors if the Cosmic Trees were included.
Not only had he won the respect of his own people, but he had also won the admiration of Bai Wangyuan, Wang Fan, Xia Shenji, and the other Progenitors who wanted to kill him.
Behind Lu Yin, Lu Buzheng, Fate Maiden, and the other Half-Ancestors watched in shock. They had seen a Progenitor compromise with Lu Yin. They had seen the legendary Nine Mountains and Eight Seas compromise. This scene would never be forgotten by the Fifth Mainland. No matter how much time passed, this scene would forever remain in the Fifth Mainland.
"I, Lu Yin, agree to the agreement," Lu Yin replied as he looked at Bai Wangyuan. He then raised his hand, and Bai Wangyuan raised his hand at the same time. Even though they were far apart, their palms collided, and the first palm strike was completed.
After the first strike, Bai Wangyuan's heart sank. Although he had been certain, he was still unwilling to accept it. However, it was already too late. "From now on, release all remaining members of the Lu family outside of the battlefield on the back, including those in the Red Garden. Lu Yin will release everyone in the Cosmic Trees. This agreement will take effect immediately."
Lu Yin replied, "I, Lu Yin, agree." He then raised his hand and struck Bai Wangyuan's palm a second time.
What followed was the final palm strike.
"The Fifth Mainland will head to the Cosmic Trees in ten days to take over the defense of the fourth formation base. The Cosmic Trees will release all remaining members of the Lu family from the battlefield on the back and promise …" Bai Wangyuan paused and looked deeply at Lu Yin. "The connection between the Cosmic Trees and the Fifth Mainland will not be restricted."
This was the agreement that Lu Yin and Bai Wangyuan had made in the Eternal Kingdom. The Fifth Mainland no longer had an astral source, which restricted their cultivation. Now that Lu Yin was in charge of the Fifth Mainland, he had to think of a solution.
The only solution was for the Fifth Mainland's cultivators to enter the Cosmic Trees to cultivate.
However, after so many years, the Cosmic Trees still refused to accept the Fifth Mainland. This was not only because of the threat of the Eternals, but also because as time passed, the Cosmic Trees looked down on the Fifth Mainland and viewed it as a wasteland.
Now, Bai Wangyuan, Xia Shenji, and the others had witnessed the strength of the Fifth Mainland's cultivators. This was not a wasteland; there were no less than the number of Half-Ancestors in the Cosmic Trees and countless cultivators.
These cultivators had received Bai Wangyuan's acknowledgment, and at the very least, they would be able to protect Unlimited Energy.
Taking over the defense of one formation base was Bai Wangyuan's condition.
After so many years, not only had the Four Way Libra's foundation not increased, but it had actually weakened. They had not thought much of it when the Lu family had been outside, but now that the Lu family had been exiled, Unlimited Energy was completely taken over by the Four Way Libra. The pressure on the Four Way Libra had increased, and they could not afford to lose a single Half-Ancestor.
Now that the Fifth Mainland was able to take over one formation base, they could finally relax.
There was a clap as the third palm strike was completed.
Bai Wangyuan and Lu Yin clapped three times, opening the bridge between the Cosmic Trees and the Fifth Mainland.
After Lu Yin's victory, countless cultivators grew excited. They could now cultivate in the Cosmic Trees, and they could finally improve. Countless people immediately cheered.
