"The Lu family can absorb a lot of astral sources, but it can't be this much," the Mist Ancestor exclaimed as he watched Lu Yin continue to absorb astral sources.
Mu Xie exclaimed, "Junior Brother is the one who absorbs the most astral sources after undergoing tribulation, including Half-Ancestors."
"Some people don't even absorb as much astral sources as he does after becoming Ancestors." The Mist Ancestor smiled bitterly.
In outer space, Bai Wangyuan and the others' faces sank. The more terrifying the tribulation, the greater the threat the cultivator would pose to the Astral Source Universe. They had hoped to see Lu Yin's tribulation destroy him, but now that he had passed it, the characteristics of his tribulation made them even more fearful.
They watched as Lu Yin continued to absorb astral sources, and they felt as if all the astral sources in the Middle Realm had been lifted by him. They exchanged glances; this kid could not continue to grow.
Finally, after a long time, Lu Yin stopped absorbing astral sources. The astral sources that had entered his body not only meant that his cultivation level had increased, but also that he had improved in all aspects.
The most obvious change was that Lu Yin felt that his body's toughness had reached a new level.
Previously, he had to be extremely careful when fighting against a Demi-Ancestor. Now, even if he did not have Mastery Realm battle force, he was confident that his physical body would not be any weaker than a Demi-Ancestor. With the addition of Mastery Realm battle force, he would no longer have to struggle against a Demi-Ancestor.
The Mist Ancestor, Mu Xie, and the others all stared at the black hole as it slowly disappeared. This time, it had truly disappeared.
This single tribulation had affected the entire Cosmic Tree Realm. Even the Progenitor's tribulation had not been so exaggerated.
Mu Xie approached Lu Yin. "Junior Brother, it's over."
Lu Yin took a deep breath and looked up at the disappearing black hole. "Next time, let's see what you can do to me."
He had truly been pushed to his limits. Even Progenitors felt that Lu Yin's six tribulations had been excessive. Not even a Half-Ancestor could survive that.
The Mist Ancestor arrived. "The Origin Tribulation is ruthless and shameless, but you're even more ruthless. What exactly did you cultivate?
You forced the Origin Tribulation to be so shameless. "
Lu Yin looked up and saw Bai Wangyuan and the others descend, surrounding him from all sides.
Mu Xie looked at Bai Wangyuan.
The Mist Ancestor looked around as well. "What? Are you going to fight?"
In the distance, the Prison Wyrm roared, but it did not dare to approach. It still had Lu Jian's Commander Appointment Platform on its back.
Lu Yin slowly asked, "Are you trying to break the agreement?"
"Lu Xiaoxuan, you're the one who provoked us," said Xia Shenji coldly.
"I was looking for an old friend from the Moon Sect, but I discovered that his sect had been exterminated, and there was a Half-Progenitor from the Frigid Immortal Sect at the site. Don't tell me that the Frigid Immortal Sect wasn't responsible for this." He then looked at Bai Wangyuan. "As for the Astral Elixir that appeared when the Mother Tree split open, no one is allowed to touch it. Anyone who touches it will be irresponsible to the Mother Tree and this region of the universe."
Bai Wangyuan's expression was gloomy.
The Mist Ancestor spoke up. "That's right. No one is allowed to touch the astral origin liquid." She then glared at Lu Yin. "Don't think that I've forgotten that you just absorbed the astral origin liquid. You'll have to pay the price for that."
Lu Yin solemnly replied, "Of course. When I absorbed the astral origin liquid, I suddenly realized that this was not a good thing to do, and it could even be considered a shameless act. I will definitely protect Senior's attitude towards astral origin liquid from now on. Anyone who tries to absorb astral origin liquid is an enemy of Junior, Senior, and the entire human race."
Lu Yin's attitude left the Mist Ancestor stunned, and she suddenly
She suddenly saw Huiwen's shadow in Lu Yin. Shameless, flipping the table after eating. She was unhappy, but she had no choice but to cooperate with Lu Yin. Otherwise, what else could she do?
Let the Four Way Scales absorb a wave of astral origin liquid as well?
The Dragon Ancestor sighed. "Lu Xiaoxuan — no, I should call you Lu Yin. You're much more shameless than Lu Xiaoxuan."
Lu Yin looked at the Dragon Ancestor. "I heard that you only stepped into the Progenitor realm because of Senior Mist Ancestor's guidance. What are you doing now?
Attacking Senior?
Who's shameless? "
"Lu Xiaoxuan, you've repeatedly provoked the Four Way Scales. Do you really think that we won't dare to attack you?"
Xia Shenji's tone was gloomy, and he really wanted to attack.
Lu Yin retorted, "The astral origin liquid belongs to the Mother Tree. I accidentally discovered it and absorbed it, so that's provoking the Four Way Scales?
What, when did the Mother Tree become the Four Way Scales' private property? "
Bai Wangyuan spoke up. "Let's not talk about what happened before. The problem with the Fifth Mainland's Astral Source Universe was caused by the Eternals. Before the problem is resolved, Lu Xiaoxuan, you are not allowed to step into the Cosmic Tree Domain. This is not just the Four Way Scales' decision, but also the entire Cosmic Tree Domain's. We fear that our Astral Source Universe will also have problems. Can you do this?
If not, we can announce to the entire Cosmic Tree Domain that you're doing this for the sake of humanity, so let humanity decide whether you stay or leave. "
Lu Yin sighed. Bai Wangyuan's words were reasonable. If the Fifth Mainland's people wanted to escape, then it was normal for the Cosmic Tree Domain's people to not allow them to enter. After all, no one knew if this Astral Source Universe would also have problems. This was not just Bai Wangyuan's concern, but Lu Yin's as well.
If something happened to the Fifth Mainland, then it was fine, but if something happened to the Cosmic Tree Domain as well, then who would be able to resist the Eternals?
No matter how much Lu Yin had contributed to the Cosmic Tree Domain, the entire Cosmic Tree Domain's attitude was the same as the Four Way Scales'. They wanted to prevent the Fifth Mainland's people from coming back.
"Alright, I'll do as you say. I'll leave," Lu Yin said calmly. "But from now on, you have to guarantee the safety of the Fifth Mainland's cultivators in this domain. Send them all back to the Fifth Mainland. The only reason you can send them back is because of the problem with the Astral Source Universe. Until this problem is resolved, they are not allowed to have any problems."
"Alright, we'll send all of the Fifth Mainland's cultivators back," Wang Fan said.
At this point, both sides had reached a tacit understanding.
Lu Yin would not be able to return to the Fifth Mainland for the time being. The Four Way Scales had not allowed him to come because they needed to completely control the Cosmic Tree Domain. Lu Yin was too much of a variable.
Xia Shenji's gloomy expression returned to normal as he watched the Hellwyrm leave. "The Eternals have helped us a lot. If Lu Xiaoxuan doesn't appear, we can take control of the Cosmic Tree Domain in the shortest time possible. Even if the Fifth Mainland's problem is resolved, Lu Xiaoxuan will no longer be able to influence this domain."
"Be careful with your words. We don't need the Eternals' help," Wang Fan reminded him before turning to leave.
Bai Wangyuan looked in the direction that Mu Xie and the Fog Ancestor had left. They had lost Lu Xiaoxuan, so they had to be on guard against those two as well. Only by controlling the entire Cosmic Tree Domain would the Four Way Scales be the Four Way Scales.
On the Hellwyrm's back, Lu Yin fell into deep thought. He knew why the Four Way Scales had chased him away, but there was nothing he could do about it. Given the current situation, the "Muddy Plan" had come at the wrong time. He even suspected that the Eternals had done this on purpose to aggravate the conflict between him and the Four Way Scales while simultaneously increasing their strength.
It was not impossible.
Lu Yin brought Wang Wen with him.
He returned to the Fifth Mainland once more.
Mu Xie had accompanied him this time.
Lu Yin wanted to become a god.
"Senior Brother, becoming a god won't affect you, right?" Lu Yin asked.
Mu Xie replied, "It won't affect me, but under normal circumstances, no one would be willing to become a god. No one knows if there will be a day when those who become gods will become enemies with those who become gods."
"Just like the Four Way Scales and Patriarch Lu Tianyi," Lu Yin said.
Mu Xie continued, "I find this very strange as well, but only the Four Way Scales and a few others know what exactly happened that day. Logically speaking, with Patriarch Tianyi's strength, even if he didn't do anything, once the Divine Seal Catalog appeared, everyone would be helpless. He could face one or two people from the Seven Skygods on his own, but in the end, he was still exiled."
Lu Yin knew that this might have something to do with the parallel spaces. Through Lan Hou's memories, he understood some of the parallel spaces. Just like in this part of the universe where the Four Way Scales wanted to kill him, the parallel spaces might not necessarily be harmonious with each other. Once two spaces intersected, they might join forces or become enemies. Both were very normal.
Of course, Lan Hou's memories did not contain any parallel spaces that were close to the Lu family's strength. In fact, there were very few that were even close to the Four Way Scales. Most of the parallel spaces that Lu Yin knew about would at most face a Progenitor Realm Corpse King, and those spaces might not even know about the existence of the Seven Skygods.
With these thoughts in mind, they returned to the Fifth Mainland.
Lu Yin threw Wang Wen to the Skygenesis Court and found a rather remote place with Mu Xie to try to ascend to godhood.
During his tribulation, he regretted not ascending to godhood. Otherwise, he would not have been so helpless against Wen Zu and almost failed his tribulation.
"I've never seen your Lu family ascend to godhood. Senior Tianyi only ascended to godhood in the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. I didn't exist back then, so how you ascend to godhood is up to you," Mu Xie said.
Lu Yin nodded. "I know. Thank you, Senior Brother."
Whether one could ascend to godhood with the Divine Seal Catalog depended on one's cultivation and willingness. If the person being sealed was not willing, then no one would be able to ascend to godhood. This was the exact opposite of the General Appointment Platform. The General Appointment Platform did not require one to be willing, as the person being appointed was already dead.
These were two completely opposite methods that had the same purpose. They were the absolute power of the Lu family to control the Fifth Mainland.
Lu Yin and Mu Xie were separated by a hundred meters. He closed his eyes and muttered to himself for a moment before waving his hand. The cloth in his palm unraveled, and a golden light blossomed from his fingertips. It illuminated the entire Technocracy and the Innerverse, as if it wanted to illuminate the entire Fifth Mainland.
Countless people looked at the golden light and knelt down. The Divine Seal Catalog did not only bring a golden light, but also a kind of holiness that was compatible with the entire Fifth Mainland.
Aside from the words "Divine Seal Catalog," there was nothing else on the golden cloth.
Mu Xie's expression turned solemn as he faced the golden light of the Divine Seal Catalog. He had once thought that Senior Tianyi might ascend to godhood one day.
Lu Tianyi stood at the forefront of humanity and faced the Eternals head-on. With his own strength, he even dared to attack the Eternals.
It was not that no one had seen Lu Yin's giant scarlet eye before, and it was not that no one could destroy it. That person had been Lu Tianyi, but it had been too difficult to destroy it at that time. The ones blocking his path were not the endless Corpse Kings, but rather the Seven Skygods, one after another.
Lu Tianyi disappeared, and after that, the Divine Seal Catalog disappeared as well. The golden light had not appeared for a very long time.
