Lu Yin grabbed the claw and squeezed it hard. The material was rather tough, and it almost froze him when he touched it. He could feel a bone-piercing chill, but it was a pity that he didn't know what it was made of.
He continued to walk further in, and not long after, he saw another long blade. His eyes twitched. From a distance, it looked like a long blade, but upon closer inspection, it was also a long blade. However, the blade and the back of the blade were intertwined, and it was impossible to tell which side was the blade and which was the back. Both sides were the blade and the back of the blade. What was even more disgusting was that there was a barb at the hilt. Lu Yin didn't know if this thing could harm an enemy, but it would definitely harm himself. Strange ancestor, strange ancestor, it really was a strange ancestor.
Lu Yin shook his head and continued walking.
He had walked through nearly half of the entire metal box, and through his domain, not a single weapon could escape him. The strangest weapon he had ever seen was a tail, and no matter how he swung it, the tip of the tail would always stab towards the user. The sharpest weapon he had ever seen was an arrow that was curved and hollow. It would never hit its target, even if it was used as a melee weapon. The tip of the arrow was extremely sharp, but the arrowhead was blunt. Its sharpness came from where the arrowhead connected to the body of the arrow. Lu Yin thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out how to use it.
Dozens of weapons floated behind him, some big and some small. All of them were made of rather good materials that even Lu Yin cared about, but the strange Ancestor had used them to make these broken things.
Lu Yin believed that these materials would be very precious regardless of the era, and he was sure that many of them had already gone extinct in this era. However, they had been wasted by the strange Ancestor, which made his heart ache.
Thankfully, he had his die and could break them down, allowing him to perfectly recreate the materials.
He had already reached the central region, where the temperature was the highest. He could see a giant sword hilt towering at the bottom of the mountain range from quite a distance away. The hilt was similar to the Sword Sect's sword, but it was too big. Normal people would definitely not be able to use it, and only giants would be able to. It was even larger than the broken blade that Xia Chan had left behind in Shenwu Plane.
For some reason, Lu Yin relaxed. If the giants could use this sword, then it wouldn't be a waste. Although not many giants would use swords, they were all good at using their fists.
Lu Yin took a step forward and appeared on the hilt. He looked down, wanting to see how long the sword was.
With a single glance, he was dumbfounded. Was this even possible?
The hilt was so long that he felt like only a giant would be able to use it, but the blade was so short that he couldn't even see it. He leapt down and appeared beside the blade, staring at it in a daze. The hilt was long and wide, but the blade was terrifyingly short. It was only a meter long, but it was almost as wide as the hilt. This style consumed a lot of materials, and it also perfectly avoided the conditions that everyone could use it.
That's right, no one could use it. The giant could pick up the sword hilt, but he couldn't use the sword body. Normal people couldn't even pick up the sword hilt.
Moreover, even if someone could pick up the sword hilt, once the sword body appeared, it would make the enemy laugh to death.
Lu Yin's eyelids twitched. He really wanted to meet the Monster Ancestor and see just what kind of person could create such a disgusting weapon with the most expensive and rarest materials.
It was no wonder why even the Daosource Sect had come to talk to him and asked him to melt these weapons. Lu Yin knew that if he had been in Lu Yin's shoes, he would have been able to slap Lu Yin to death.
Hmm?
There were words on the back of the sword.
Lu Yin looked over and saw that these were words from the Daosource Sect's era.
He didn't recognize them, so he used the wireless gu to contact Ghost Monkey and had him take out the Cloudconnect Stone so that he could look at the words face to face.
"I am the Monster Ancestor. Brother, no, not necessarily. Sister, it's possible. No matter who it is, aren't they angry when they see these weapons that I left behind?
Angry?
Don't be anxious and listen to me. "
"I didn't have a choice, and I was forced to do it. You ask who it was?
It's the Everlasting Race. Don't misunderstand, I didn't betray humanity, and I'm not Redback. However, I have to admit that fate is sometimes mysterious. I was saved by Redback when I was very young, and that Redback crazily instilled in me the idea of betraying humanity. I was still young back then, so of course I listened to her. You ask why she values me so much?
Of course, it's because I'm gifted and talented, and I'm also the most handsome man in the world. By the way, that Redback is a woman. "
"It's hard to break the ideals that you've been instilled with since you were young, but who am I?
I'm someone who can definitely become an Ancestor, so how can you use common sense to judge me? I betrayed not humanity, but that woman, that Redback. But betrayal isn't that easy, right? That woman has evidence of what I've done in the past, and as for what it is, you know what it is. "
"I had no choice. In the end, I used my handsome appearance and outstanding eloquence to reach an agreement with her. I had to do something that would harm humanity for the rest of my life as repayment for her saving my life, and I also had to keep the evidence a secret. As for her, I left her to fend for herself. Don't blame me for not exposing her, as you can only understand what I felt back then when I was there. Of course, I kept an eye on her and didn't let her do anything. Hahahaha! In short, I created these weapons that no one can use and wasted humanity's resources. That was what I did to harm humanity on her behalf. Aside from that, I didn't do anything to harm humanity."
"My life's goal was to create these strange weapons and slaughter the Eternals. I won't rest until I die. Strange Ancestor, Yun Yi."
The Strange Ancestor had left behind many words, and it took the monkey more than two hours to slowly translate them.
Although he had wasted resources, as a Progenitor, not betraying humanity was his greatest contribution. At the same time, keeping an eye on Redback was equivalent to eliminating a threat. Now, both the Strange Ancestor and the woman were dead, and everything had disappeared with time, leaving behind only these weapons.
Anyone who became an Ancestor would experience a legend from birth to death. Even the most low-key Withered Ancestor would be deeply shocked by those who knew him. The Strange Ancestor was the same. He had not left his name in history, but what he did could be considered a legend.
"Forget it, I won't blame you. Don't worry, I can decompose these weapons. Not only did you not waste the materials, but you even helped me keep them. Yun Yi?
Thanks, bro, "Lu Yin said as he cheerfully put away all the weapons. He then continued his search in the distance until he had collected all the weapons. Only then did he sit down; it was time to roll his die. Not only did he have to heal himself, but he also had to dissect these weapons.
Actually, the metal box, the mountain range inside, and the high temperature of the liquid were all good things, but he did not necessarily need to use them. He would just keep them as a memento to prove that the Strange Ancestor had once been in this world.
Everyone would leave behind traces in this world, but as time passed, those traces would also disappear.
Lu Yin left.
After leaving the metal box, he did not know how long his traces would remain in the river of time. If the humans in this part of the universe were defeated, then his existence would also disappear!
With a melancholy heart, Lu Yin was about to roll his die when his wireless gu vibrated. Senior Mu Xie had contacted him, and he quickly answered.
"The war is over," Mu Xie replied.
Lu Yin silently waited for the rest of the message.
"In the end, we were unable to destroy the Undying God. He escaped …" Mu Xie told Lu Yin everything that had happened, including how the Corpse Kings had retreated from the battlefield.
Lu Yin replied, "That giant scarlet vertical eye that can melt the Tree Realm is something like an astral gate. Those Corpse Kings were able to reach this part of the universe through it …"
Mu Xie had not expected Lu Yin to be related to the final outcome. However, even if Lu Yin had not destroyed that scarlet vertical eye, the Eternals would have done the same thing. They had actually given up on the Starfall Sea and allowed Lu Yin to do whatever he wanted. However, because Lu Yin had attacked that giant scarlet vertical eye, the Ancient God had been able to suppress the Sovereign Realm and force the Corpse God down.
"No matter what, they will not give up on the Undying God. Four of the Seven Skygods came, and even the only True God made a move to crack the mother tree. The price they paid was too great," Mu Xie replied.
The two ended the call, and the wireless gu vibrated again. This time, it was the Fog Ancestor.
"Are you sure you saw Madman Lu?
Four of the Seven Skygods came. If Madman Lu really did betray humanity and is a Redback, why didn't he make a move? "
The Fog Ancestor asked curiously.
From start to finish, Lu Yin had not cared about the Seven Skygods, but rather Madman Lu.
He had seen Madman Lu meet the Ancient God while traveling through spacetime. Madman Lu had participated in the banishment of the Lu family and wanted to kill him, so he naturally thought that Madman Lu was a Redback.
Madman Lu would definitely make a move to rescue the Undying God, so Lu Yin had informed the Fog Ancestor not to go all out and to keep an eye on Madman Lu.
This was also the reason why the Mist Ancestor did not have much of a presence from the beginning to the end. Otherwise, even if the Mist Ancestor was not proficient in combat, she should have had a presence. She should have at least dealt with one of the Seven Skygods if she was delayed by an Ancestor Realm Corpse King.
The Fog Ancestor was also very sullen, but Lu Yin was right. Once Madman Lu made a move, the situation would change completely. She felt that she was the one with the greatest responsibility.
But now that the Undying God had been rescued and the Seven Skygods had been fighting very hard, Madman Lu had not made a move at all. He had even cooperated with the limitless energy formation to stop the Eternals.
This was strange. "I don't know what's going on either, but I'm sure that Madman Lu is a Redback. He's connected to the Ancient God, and he might be plotting something bigger. Senior, you can't let your guard down," Lu Yin reminded.
The Fog Ancestor snorted. "Don't tell me that Madman Lu ambushed you and almost killed you, so you're using this opportunity to take revenge."
Lu Yin solemnly replied, "This concerns the safety of humanity. If I lie, I will never be able to step into the Progenitor realm and will die under the origin tribulation."
"Alright, alright, I'm not asking you to swear such a heavy oath. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him." With that, she ended the call.
Lu Yin frowned, as he would rather have Madman Lu make a move. With the Fog Ancestor's strength, she should be able to hold him back. However, Madman Lu had not made a move, which made Lu Yin uneasy.
