Unless Bai Xianer had a way to make the Zu Mang listen to her, Lu Yin wasn't afraid.
Would the Zu Mang listen to Bai Xianer?
Lu Yin wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death. If he listened to her, he would have died a long time ago.
After confirming their location, the two headed towards the Zu Mang's head.
"Brother Xiaoxuan, do you remember when we were young and adventuring in the Top Realm?"
Bai Xianer asked as she looked at Lu Yin gently.
Lu Yin replied, "I'm curious. With your innate gift, why weren't you one of the Seven Heroes?"
Bai Xianer blinked. "I should be asking you, Brother Xiaoxuan."
"Ask me?"
Lu Yin was stunned, as he didn't have any memories of this.
Bai Xian 'er continued, "When the Seven Heroes were formed, you didn't include me. Brother Little Xuan, you liked me a lot back then, and you spent much more time with me than with them."
Lu Yin was confused. "Who stopped you from joining the Seven Heroes?"
Bai Xianer shook her head. "No one stopped me, but no one suggested it either. Tu Qiming kept saying that he wanted to be the Eighth Hero, and you all tacitly agreed. But for me …" She paused for a moment. "No one suggested it."
Lu Yin retracted his gaze. "How did we lose our memories?"
Bai Xianer smiled. "That's my biggest secret. You can guess."
"You really did it?"
Lu Yin was shocked. He wasn't the only one who had lost his memories; Wan Zhiyi, Master Shan, and the others had also lost their memories. They were all half-step Ancestors, but how strong was Bai Xianer back then?
How was she able to do it?
Bai Xianer didn't deny it.
"What about the seal on my back?"
Lu Yin asked again.
Bai Xianer smiled. "Isn't it good to be alive?
Brother Xiaoxuan, you could have lived peacefully in this abandoned land. You don't need to carry this burden, so isn't that good?
Why did you come here? "
"Answer my question!" Lu Yin barked.
Bai Xianer met his gaze calmly. "You'll die if you come into my sight again. I've said it before, and I'll still say it now. Brother Xiaoxuan, you're not far from death. If you have any wishes, I can help you."
Lu Yin suddenly reached out and grabbed at Bai Xianer's neck. However, his hand stopped in midair as an invisible force obstructed him. He wanted to use the rune lines of the General Platform to attack Bai Xianer with his Progenitor strength.
"Will you kill me?"
Bai Xianer suddenly spoke.
Lu Yin's hand had already broken through her defenses with the help of his Progenitor rune lines, and he grabbed hold of her neck. It was delicate to the touch, and it felt like he could break it at any moment.
She looked at him calmly, "Can you kill me?"
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. Killing Bai Xianer was tantamount to breaking the agreement, and Bai Wangyuan would seek revenge like a madman. Lu Yin couldn't bear the consequences of that. Moreover, did Bai Xianer die so easily?
He didn't believe it.
Back when the Sea King had broken through the Upper Three Gates and killed the Sixth Mainland's Half-Progenitor with a single finger, Bai Xianer had been the one to do so. He couldn't tell how strong this woman was, but he would believe that she was comparable to a Progenitor.
He could control her life and death so easily, but it was more like she wanted to be controlled.
Lu Yin took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to snap her neck. He withdrew his hand and walked towards the Ancestral Mang's head without saying a word.
Bai Xianer looked at him from behind. Her gaze was still so calm, so calm that it was scary.
This wasn't Lu Yin's first time seeing the Ancestral Mang's head. When Long Xi had brought him to pay respects to the Ancestral Mang, he had seen it from below, but he hadn't seen it in detail. Now, he and Bai Xianer were floating in the air, looking at the giant python that covered the sky. His fingers felt numb; if this thing opened its mouth to bite him, he wouldn't be able to escape.
"It seems to be asleep," Lu Yin said.
Bai Xianer replied, "Blood."
Lu Yin looked at her and used the rune lines from the platform to circle around her body, "If something happens to me, you won't be able to live either." He wasn't sure if he could kill her, but he could drag her down with him. Of course, the chances of something happening were low. The Lu family controlled the Fifth Mainland, and if the Ancestral Mang didn't want to deal with the Lu family, it wouldn't be here.
Bai Xianer didn't say anything.
Lu Yin cut his finger and watched his blood drip down.
In front of him, the giant Ancestral Mang's head moved and then opened its eyes. The sky changed color, and all living creatures in the lower realm prostrated themselves.
In the distance, Xia Shenji's clone was deathly pale. He stood in place and stared blankly at the Ancestral Mang's head, unable to move his body.
Liu Shaoge was the same.
No matter if it was a human or a creature, when the Ancestral Mang opened its eyes, they couldn't move.
Lu Yin didn't know how to describe this feeling. Ever since he had stepped onto the path of cultivation, he had seen many giant creatures, but none of them could compare to the Ancestral Mang.
Being stared at by such a giant creature was like being stared at by the entire sky. This feeling was even more terrifying than being chased by Xia Shenji.
Xia Shenji was a human, and no matter how strong he was, he was still human. However, this was the Ancestral Mang, a different species that was far more terrifying than him.
The Ancestral Mang's eyes were so large that they seemed to be able to see through the entire lower realm. However, Lu Yin knew that it was staring at him, and its gaze was focused on him.
"Sorry to disturb you," Lu Yin said after a moment of silence.
No matter who it was, they wouldn't be able to remain calm in front of such a scene, let alone speak. It was already quite good that Lu Yin could speak at all.
The Ancestral Mang's head lowered and approached Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously looked at Bai Xianer.
Her expression was still as calm as ever, and he couldn't tell what she was thinking.
Lu Yin wanted to slip away; the pressure was too great, and it was like a normal person facing a Progenitor.
The Ancestral Mang was still approaching, and Lu Yin clenched his fists. "Can you eat the Undying?"
Lu Yin's heart was in his throat as he stared at the Ancestral Mang and gritted his teeth.
The Ancestral Mang looked at Lu Yin, but its eyes were too large for Lu Yin to see what it was trying to say. It also didn't speak; it was impossible for the Ancestral Mang to not have any intelligence.
Suddenly, the Ancestral Mang's head rose into the air and distanced itself from Lu Yin and Bai Xianer. Lu Yin stared blankly at the saliva that covered the lower realm.
If he wasn't mistaken, that was definitely saliva. Did it just spit at him?
Lu Yin had never dreamed that he would be spat at by the Ancestral Mang, and he subconsciously blocked the Progenitor rune lines above his head. The saliva poured down like an ocean, pouring onto the ground of the lower realm.
In the distance, Xia Shenji and Liu Shaoge were also implicated, and the two were drowned in the Ancestral Mang's saliva.
Aside from them, many other people and creatures were also drowned in the saliva.
To the Ancestral Mang, it was a vast ocean to them.
"What's going on?"
Lu Yin was shocked, but he didn't seem to be afraid of being spat at.
Bai Xianer pursed her lips, "Take out the Progenitor's Sword."
Lu Yin looked at her, "The Progenitor's Sword?"
Bai Xianer replied, "It was raised by the Progenitor. If you want it to listen, you need the Progenitor's Sword."
"Why did it spit at me?"
Lu Yin asked.
Bai Xianer shook her head, "I don't know. This is between it and the Lu family."
Lu Yin was speechless. What did she mean?
It spat at the Lu family?
"When Uncle Qi said that the Ancestral Mang was close to the Lu family, I thought it was true. It seems like he lied to me."
"My father, Lu Qi?"
"Hurry up and take out the Progenitor's Sword," Bai Xianer urged.
Lu Yin frowned, "So that's your goal."
Bai Xianer looked at him, "That's just one of my goals. The Ancestral Mang was raised by the Progenitor, so if you want it to listen, you need the Progenitor's Sword. Or do you not want to kill the Undying God?"
Lu Yin took a deep breath and hesitated.
At that moment, more spit fell from the top of his head.
Lu Yin was displeased. No one had ever spat at him like this before, and it seemed like this guy wasn't going to stop. How much hatred did this guy have for him?
If he wanted to take revenge, why would he look for a junior like him?
He stopped hesitating and took out the Progenitor's Sword from his cosmic ring.
When the Progenitor's Sword appeared, it didn't affect the outside world. It was just like when the Progenitor's Sword had appeared in the Fifth Mainland, but the Ancestral Mang was stunned.
The spit above Lu Yin's head was pushed away by the rune lines, and the Ancestral Mang's head slowly descended. It stared blankly at the Progenitor's Sword in Lu Yin's hand and let out a soft hiss.
It was just a hiss, but Lu Yin could hear the nostalgia in it. The Ancestral Mang missed the sword, or rather, its owner.
Bai Xianer also looked at the Progenitor's Sword. This sword represented the highest will of humanity in this universe.
"Why did you spit at me?"
Lu Yin asked, looking at the Ancestral Mang.
The Ancestral Mang ignored him and continued to stare at the Progenitor's Sword.
Lu Yin put away the sword, and the Ancestral Mang stared blankly at him. Suddenly, Lu Yin looked up, and another gaze landed on him. Although he couldn't see who it was, he could guess that it was the Divine Eagle.
If the Ancestral Mang could sense the Progenitor's Sword, then the Divine Eagle could as well.
Seeing the Ancestral Mang like this, as if it was reminiscing, Lu Yin directly told it his plan. He didn't know if the Ancestral Mang would agree, so he left with Bai Xianer after telling it.
"Why isn't it speaking?"
Lu Yin was puzzled.
Bai Xianer replied, "I don't know."
Lu Yin frowned. Whether it was the Ancestral Mang or the Divine Eagle, they could all speak. Even the Explorer realm astral beasts could take human form, so it was impossible that they couldn't. But why didn't they speak?
It was the same for the Hellwyrm. It seemed that the stronger a creature was, the harder it was for them to break through the limits of their species.
Even without a reply from the Ancestral Mang, Lu Yin still planned to try. No matter what, he had to at least ensure that the Undying God was heavily injured. As for the dried corpses, the moment Bai Xianer had told them the truth, the Four Way Scales had ordered the Cosmic Trees to only capture them and not kill them.
A year ago, Lu Yin had returned to the Fifth Mainland, and the Cosmic Trees had experienced a year of peace. The Four Way Scales had thought that peace would continue, and even if Lu Yin returned, he wouldn't cause too much of a stir. After all, he wouldn't try to overthrow the Four Way Scales the moment he arrived.
However, they had still underestimated Lu Yin's ability.
He had forced the Undying God to come over and forced the Eternal Race's Seven Skygods to descend on the Ruler's Realm. He had forced the Divine Eagle and the Ancestral Mang to move out as well. He had forced the backline to experience a life-and-death battle that hadn't happened in decades. Once he arrived, the entire Cosmic Trees seemed to have come alive.
However, no one blamed Lu Yin. Although he had caused these battles, it had been beneficial to humanity. At the very least, he had given the Cosmic Trees a good opportunity to kill the Undying God.
