On a deserted island in the Middle Calm Sea, flames soared into the sky. An elder roared furiously, "I won't let you go. I must take revenge, revenge …"
At this time, a muffled voice sounded. The elder looked into the distance and saw a mummy slowly walking over. It didn't attack anyone and just walked while talking about the Corpse King Transformation cultivation method.
At first, the elder wanted to destroy the mummy, but when he heard about the Corpse King Transformation cultivation method, he became more and more serious.
He knew about the Corpse King Transformation and had been to the battlefield on the other side. He definitely wouldn't attack a Corpse King who cultivated the Corpse King Transformation. The Corpse King Transformation was too terrifying. With each level, the body would be ten times stronger. A Corpse King of the same level could kill him as easily as stepping on an ant. Now, he had the chance to learn it?
No, learning the Corpse King Transformation was tantamount to betraying humanity. The Corpse King Transformation wasn't just a cultivation method; it also changed one's body, making it more like a Corpse King. It was like changing from one species to another. He couldn't cultivate it. Once he did, he would become a monster like the Eternals.
But if he didn't cultivate it, how could he take revenge?
He stared at the ashes in front of him. His wife, his son, his grandson, his disciples, his old friends, they were all dead. They were all killed by his enemies. If he didn't cultivate the Corpse King Transformation, how could his old and frail body fight against his enemies?
There was no chance.
The more he thought about it, the more ferocious the elder's gaze became. He clenched his fists, his fingernails digging into his palms. Blood dripped down his palms. This red color made the elder sink into it. He grabbed the mummy. He didn't care anymore. As long as he could take revenge, he would kill himself.
The same scene happened everywhere, whether it was the Top Realm or the Middle Realm. Some people captured mummies, while others hid them and used them to cultivate the Corpse King Transformation.
It wasn't that they wanted to betray, but sometimes, the situation didn't allow them to choose.
This was what the Undying God said — the human heart.
On the other side of the battlefield, countless Corpse Kings attacked the five array bases, not giving them a moment to rest.
Below the fourth array base, Corpse Kings kept falling. Many Corpse Kings continued to climb. Even if they only had half of their bodies left, they still climbed to the array base to kill.
Underground, no Corpse Kings noticed. Or rather, they didn't care. They were growing bit by bit.
They continued to absorb the corpse king's flesh and blood, growing larger and larger as they moved towards the new continent. They felt that there were even more corpse kings waiting for them to devour.
In the World of Sovereigns, when the Godly Eagle screeched, the Ancient God and Hei Wushen arrived. Including the Forgotten Ruins God and the Corpse God, four of the Seven Heavenly Gods came. The Undying God was in the Starry Sky of Trees. Only Bai Wushen and the Witchcraft Spirit God had not appeared.
Looking at the Divine Martial Saber Region ahead, Hei Wushen said, "To mobilize everyone just for the Undying God, I don't think it's worth it. He's courting death. He's doing it for Wu Tian, but what about us?"
The Ancient God watched as the Corpse God and the Godly Eagle clashed. He stepped forward and said, "The True God has decreed that Bai Wangyuan and the others can't leave the Sovereign Realm. They can't take a single step out."
On the other side, Bai Wangyuan and the others looked down from time to time. They were held back by the Eternals and could not leave. Could Lu Xiaoxuan really kill the Undying God?
Back in the Mortal World, bad news continued to spread to Qingchen, Lu Yin, and the others.
In less than half a day, many people had already been discovered hiding corpses, and even more would be discovered soon. These people's only goal was to cultivate the Corpse King Transformation.
They needed the help of corpses to cultivate the Corpse King Transformation, which was also the Undying God's goal.
The corpses' divine power would definitely fuse into the Undying God's body while they cultivated the Corpse King Transformation. This would strengthen the Undying God's divine power, and it would be very difficult to stop this.
The human heart was complicated, and the Undying God understood humans all too well. He was originally a human, and he had been lured by the Eternals to become one of the Seven Skygods. He naturally knew how to lure others.
The most realistic example that Lu Yin had seen was the Flying Armor Army's commander, Long Xian. If he had been in Long Xian's shoes, he might have also joined the Eternals and become a Redback.
The Eternals had not only lured him in; they had also forced him.
This was the case on the battlefield on the other side, and it was the same now.
However, this was not the only problem. Lu Yin looked at the crack in the Progenitor Sword in his hand and then at the crack in the Mother Tree's trunk. Everything was heading in a bad direction, and it seemed that the humans were becoming weaker and weaker in resisting the Eternals.
This situation had to be reversed. They had been on the defensive all this time.
Beside him, Xia Ziheng and the others were arguing and discussing something.
Qing Chen was constantly contacting the people from the Humble School, his tone filled with killing intent. Anyone who was found to be hiding the Corpse King would be killed without mercy.
Ce Donglai was also using Yi Xian Academy's influence to find the person who was hiding the Corpse King, hoping that everyone could capture it.
Bai Xianer stood there calmly, her thoughts unknown.
"Little Seven, you've done your best," Big Sis said solemnly.
Kui Luo sighed. "The One True God is a legendary figure. Even the Progenitor's Sword was cracked by him. Aside from the Progenitor, no one can stand up to him. Now that the Mother Tree's trunk is cracked, there's no way it won't affect Limitless Kinetic Energy.
Lu Yin fell silent as he looked at the giant crack in the distance. Yes, the Infinite Kinetic Energy had been set up by the Mother Tree. Now that the Mother Tree's trunk had cracked, the Infinite Kinetic Energy would definitely be affected.
The Undying God had used the corpses to create chaos, and the Seven Skygods had descended one by one to start a huge battle in the Ruler's Realm. Even the Only True God had appeared, and Shen Ying and Zu Mang had joined in. The situation had suddenly become uncontrollable.
"If only the Lu family was still here," Ce Donglai sighed.
Xia Ziheng snorted. "What's the point? The Lu family was exiled to the Everlasting Realm, but they didn't cause any harm to them."
E 'chi suddenly raised his hand and slapped Xia Ziheng across the face, sending him flying.
Xia Ziheng crashed into a distant root and glared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin stared back coldly. "Any more nonsense, and I'll feed you to the Zu Mang."
Xia Ziheng gritted his teeth and glared at Lu Yin, but he didn't dare to say anything else.
Sir Yu, Wu Yao, and the rest weren't surprised. Xia Ziheng's words were indeed asking for a beating. He didn't even look at Lu Xiaoxuan; wasn't he courting death?
If not for the agreement, he would have died just now.
Xia Ziheng had only said that subconsciously, as he was used to saying such things. He regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, but Lu Yin had moved too quickly. E 'chi was a Progenitor, so how could he resist?
Lu Yin dismissed the summon and put away the Progenitor's Sword. He then looked at Bai Xianer. "Why did you exile the Lu family?"
Qing Chen replied, "Lu Xiaoxuan, now's not the time to talk about this. Can't we talk about the grudge between the Lu family and the Four Way Scales after we deal with the Undying God?"
Lu Yin continued to look at Bai Xianer. "Why?"
He had never asked her this question before, and she was a very important part of the Lu family's exile.
She met his gaze. "There's no why. It's just a replacement, that's all."
Lu Yin was amused.
"Do you really think that the Four Way Scales can replace the Lu family?"
Bai Xianer retracted her gaze and looked at the Top Realm. "Some people think so."
"Do you know how this region of space was formed?"
Lu Yin asked.
Bai Xianer fell silent.
"Do you know what else the Lu family has that's completely different from the rest of you?"
Lu Yin asked again.
Bai Xianer remained silent.
Lu Yin looked at Xia Ziheng, Wu Yao, and Sir Yu, but none of them spoke.
Lu Yin looked up. "Sis, what do you think will happen if we open the Starfall Sea?"
Her expression changed. "What did you say?
Open the Starfall Sea? "
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "Yes, the Fifth Mainland's entrance to the Starfall Sea."
"No. Once the entrance to the Starfall Sea is opened, the Fifth Mainland will have to face the full brunt of the Eternals' attack. The Fifth Mainland will be doomed eternally." She immediately refused. "Little Seven, why would you have such a dangerous idea?"
Everyone else looked at Lu Yin in shock. They couldn't understand why Lu Yin would deliberately expose the Fifth Mainland to danger.

Lu Yin took a deep breath. "The current situation is too unfavorable for this region of space. The Undying God is clearly trapped here, but he has the initiative. He's using the people's hearts to wreak havoc in the Astral Tree Realm. The Seven Skygods are suppressing the Ruler's Realm, and the Mother Tree's trunk is cracking. If there's a problem with the Infinite Kinetic Energy, this region of space might not be able to stop the Eternals.
"No, it's too dangerous. I don't agree."
Lu Yin naturally knew that it was dangerous, but if the Astral Tree Realm couldn't stop the Eternals, then the Fifth Mainland was in danger as well.
It was for the sake of the Fifth Mainland that Forefather Solesky had separated the Starry Sky Tree from the Starry Sky Tree and turned it into the main battlefield. When the Eternals had attacked the Fifth Mainland, the liquefied Starsource Universe had been devoured by the Starry Sky Tree. It was also because of the Starry Sky Tree that the Fifth Mainland had managed to survive.
The Astral Tree Realm and the Fifth Mainland were inseparable. No matter what grudges Lu Yin had with the Four Cardinal Scales, he had to find a way to work together against the Eternals.
He had already considered the possible dangers, and he had even considered the possibility of the Seven Skygods attacking the Fifth Mainland. Thus, he had to be careful with this decision.
Qing Chen looked at Lu Yin with admiration for the first time. It came from the bottom of his heart. "Lu Xiaoxuan, do you really want to open the entrance to the Fifth Mainland's Starfall Sea?"
Xia Ziheng, Ce Donglai, and the rest all looked at Lu Yin.
Bai Xianer's eyes flickered, but no one knew what she was thinking.
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. "In the past, my Lu family was still around and could lead the Astral Tree Realm to the New World. Now, although the Lu family is no longer around, I'm still here, and I can still lead the humans to the New World."
"Little Seven." Big Sis wanted to say something, but Lu Yin looked at her. "Sis, trust me."
Big Sis was stunned and fell silent.
Lu Yin looked at Bai Xianer. "This is the biggest difference between my Lu family and the Four Cardinal Scales. It's not strength, but …" He raised his head. "Responsibility."
"When the Fifth Mainland and the Sixth Mainland went to war, our ancestors didn't just face the Sixth Mainland, but also the Eternals. It was Forefather Tianyi who separated the Fifth Mainland and allowed the Astral Tree Realm to resist the Eternals. That's how the Fifth Mainland was able to maintain its peace. Now that the Astral Tree Realm is in trouble, the Fifth Mainland must step up."
Bai Xianer looked at Lu Yin and smiled. "That's more like you, Brother Xiaoxuan."
