If a direct descendant of the Lu family reappeared, how many Gods would the Divine Seal Catalog be?
Mu Xie was looking forward to it. Perhaps Lu Yin could also stand at the forefront of humanity and face their mortal enemies.
"Mu Xie, are you willing to be sealed?"
Lu Yin's voice sounded out, but it was completely different from his usual voice. It was much deeper and more sacred, and there was an awe-inspiring majesty to it that made even Mu Xie cautious. "I am."
The golden light suddenly converged into a beam of light that enveloped Mu Xie's body. There was both light and darkness beneath the beam, and the darkness formed a shadow that headed towards the Divine Seal Catalog.
Once the shadow entered the Divine Seal Catalog, it meant that the seal had been successfully sealed. The shadow only existed under the Divine Seal Catalog's light, and only the Divine Seal Catalog could use the shadow to battle.
This was Divine Seal.
Mu Xie watched the shadow head towards the Divine Seal Catalog and took a deep breath. From this moment on, Lu Yin's power level would soar once again. Even without external items, he would truly have the strength to face any Progenitor.
Only he knew how strong he was. Even if he faced Nine Mountains and Eight Seas alone, he would not fear them.
Lu Yin suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the Divine Seal Catalog disappeared along with the golden light and the shadow.
Mu Xie's expression changed, and he rushed to Lu Yin's side. Lu Yin almost collapsed.
His face was pale, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. His entire body trembled, and his mind buzzed. His vision was blurry, and he could not hear anything.
He had failed. His Divine Seal had failed.
This was just Lu Yin's experiment. Since ancient times, the weakest Ascendant in the Lu family had been a half-step Ancestor. Through the Origin Tribulation, Lu Yin knew that the humanoid Lu Qi might have been able to ascend to Godhood at the peak of the Emissary realm. This was the lowest known Ascendant, and there was no one below that.
Lu Yin wanted to become a God at six Tribulation Origin Tribulations, which was the same as trying to seal a half-step Ancestor at one Tribulation Origin Tribulations. The difference was too great, and he naturally had to bear the consequences.
He had failed at that time, and now, he had failed at becoming a God.
After a long time, Lu Yin recovered slightly. His body stopped trembling, and his ears could hear.
"Junior Brother, did you hear that?"
Mu Xie asked.
Lu Yin nodded and looked at his hands. Drops of blood dripped onto his palms and trickled down from his nostrils. As he looked at the blood, his vision seemed to be dyed red.
It was too painful. Ascending to the Divinity Ascension Stage was even more painful than the first time he had tried to ascend to the Half-Martial Ancestor Realm. This kind of pain was different from the Origin Tribulation, and it was also different from cultivating battle force in the Palm Realm. It was an unknown kind of pain.
"Looks like you need to rest for a while. It's indeed impossible to become a god with six Origin Tribulations." Mu Xie sighed.
"It's just wishful thinking on my part, but I'll definitely be able to become a god after seven Origin Tribulations at most."
"Not necessarily," said Mu Xie.
Lu Yin looked at him in confusion.
Mu Xie pondered for a moment. "When it comes to becoming a god, not only does it depend on one's own cultivation base, it also depends on one's opponent's cultivation base. For example, Senior Tianyi was able to become a god in the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. Although that doesn't mean that his battle prowess surpasses that of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, at the very least, it's certain that the difference between them isn't too great. If he were to become a god in the Three Realms, Six Daos, or even Primogenitor, do you think he'd succeed?"
Lu Yin understood. "Senior Brother, are you saying that the difference between our cultivation levels is too great?"
Mu Xie clasped his hands behind his back. "Yes, the difference between you and Progenitor Wen is too great."
Although it was only a few words, Mu Xie's arrogance was completely revealed at this moment. He believed that he far surpassed Progenitor Wen.
Progenitor Wen was also a Progenitor with an Ancestral World. Lu Yin was helpless against those boundless characters, but there was still a difference between Progenitor Wen and Progenitor Wen.
Progenitor Wen might have been on the same level as the Sixth Mainland's Three Ancestors, but Mu Xie was comparable to Nine Mountains and Eight Seas.
Nine Mountains and Eight Seas was not on the same level as an ordinary Progenitor.
Lu Yin thought it through. That's right, Mu Xie was his senior brother and had been recognized by Mister Mu as an absolute genius.
How difficult was it to gain Mister Mu's recognition?
Even if Lu Yin had experienced all sorts of opportunities, it would still be difficult to succeed. If Mu Xie could succeed, then that meant that his cultivation talent was not below Lu Yin's. Just as Senior Brother Qing Ping had said, an Emissary could fight a Half-Martial Ancestor, and a Half-Martial Ancestor could fight an Ancestor.
It would be fine if Lu Yin was at the level of Progenitor Wen, but if he wanted to become a god like Mu Xie, then it would not be as simple as ascending to the Divine Ancestor Realm after six Origin Tribulations. It would be like trying to become a Divine Ancestor right after becoming an Emissary.
After thinking this through, Lu Yin felt that he had been wronged.
If he had known that he would not have ascended to the Divine Ancestor Mu Xie, then he would have found another Progenitor to ascend to the Divine Ancestor Realm. But who would he have found?
Looking around, it seemed that the only person who had willingly become a god was Mu Xie. As for the Blood Ancestor, there was no need for him to become a god.
Mu Xie saw through Lu Yin's thoughts. "There are no Progenitors in the Fifth Mainland who can become gods, but there are in the Cosmic Tree Realm. You will find a way. Alright, I'm leaving."
Lu Yin nodded. "Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother."
Mu Xie left, and Lu Yin let out a long breath. He raised his hand, and his die appeared. The injuries he had sustained during his tribulation had been healed when he had absorbed the astral source, but he had not expected that his injuries would worsen so quickly.
Lu Yin watched the die slowly spin. It was three pips. He shook his head and decided to continue. This time, it was one pip. It had only been a few days since he had rolled the die, so he decided to wait ten days before rolling it again.
Ten days later, Lu Yin successfully rolled four pips and entered the Timestop Space to recover from the backlash of ascending to the Divine Ancestor Realm.
A second later, he reappeared, fully recovered, and headed towards the Above Heaven Sect.
The New Mainland was already being reclaimed, and it was time to clean up the Eternals in the Starfall Sea.
A few days after Lu Yin arrived at the Above Heaven Sect, he headed towards the entrance of the Starfall Sea once more, intending to clean it up. Along the way, he happened to run into Hai Feng, Hai Dashao, Hai Qiqi, and Elder He.
When they saw Lu Yin, they immediately bowed.
Although it had only been a few decades, the Fifth Mainland had changed so quickly that even Hai Dashao had no choice but to bow his head to Lu Yin.
"Did you guys just return from the Starfall Sea?"
Lu Yin asked.
Hai Feng replied, "We just executed Yang Yi and were preparing to return to the Outerverse."
Lu Yin was astonished. "You executed Yang Yi?"
Hai Qiqi clenched her fists. "Yang Yi betrayed the human race, so of course he should be executed."
Lu Yin looked at her.
She wanted to say something else, but under Lu Yin's gaze, she knew to avoid it. She was not as reckless as she had been in the past.
"Wasn't Yang Yi handed over to the Blood Ancestor?
He's a traitor of the Sixth Mainland. How did you execute him? "
Lu Yin asked.
Elder He respectfully replied, "Senior Blood Ancestor allowed us to participate in the execution. The Eternals were established in the Sea King's Dome, and he wanted the Sea King's Dome to completely disappear from the Starfall Sea."
Lu Yin nodded. "Got it. Congratulations, you've gotten your revenge."
The group bowed. "Thank you, Dao Disciple."
Lu Yin waved his hand, and the group headed towards the Outerverse.
Hai Qiqi turned back to look at Lu Yin. This person had changed so much since they had gone on adventures together and gone through life and death situations together.
Suddenly, Lu Yin smiled at her, just like he had in the past.
Hai Qiqi's eyes lit up, and she blinked. Then, she opened her mouth to say something.
Lu Yin was speechless.
What she had said was, 'You're still as ugly as ever.' This girl's tongue was just as poisonous as ever!
For some reason, Lu Yin felt nostalgic.
Just as he was about to continue to the Starfall Sea, his wireless gu vibrated.
Lu Yin accepted the call.
"It's me, Liu Tianmu."
Lu Yin was puzzled. Why would Liu Tianmu contact him?
"What's up?"
"Liu Hao wants me to tell you that Liu Yue is dead."
Lu Yin did not react at first, but then his expression changed. "What did you say?
Liu Yue?
The Liu family's ancestor? "
Liu Tianmu's expression changed as well. "Liu Yue is the Liu family's ancestor?
A Progenitor? "
"What did Liu Hao say?"
Lu Yin barked. He had a bad premonition.
Liu Tianmu replied, "Liu Hao only wanted me to tell you that the Four Way Scales suddenly attacked Liu Yue. Liu Yue is dead, and he threw Liu Tianmu out before he died. However, Liu Yue is still being targeted and will definitely die. He also wanted me to remind you that before he died, Liu Yue said that the Four Way Scales had nothing to fear and that he also had an address where the Sword Stele is located."
Lu Yin's expression sank. Liu Yue was the Liu family's ancestor who had fought the Undying God alongside him. He had grasped Sword Dao at Unity and was adept at killing. How could he have died?
A Progenitor's death could not be left unnoticed.
Lu Yin quickly tried to contact Mu Xie, but he could not reach him.
He immediately contacted the Mist Ancestor.
The Mist Ancestor replied quickly, "How did you know?
It just happened. "
Lu Yin asked, "Is Ancestor Liu Yue really dead?"
The Mist Ancestor was silent for a moment. "Yes."
"Why?"
Lu Yin did not understand. How many days had it been?
He had just returned from the Cosmic Tree Domain a dozen or so days ago, so how could an ancestor have died in such a short time?
Although Liu Yue was not Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, he was not weak. How could he have died so suddenly?
Why had the Four Way Scales killed a Progenitor so decisively?
That was a Progenitor! Were they not afraid that the Outer Realm would lose its protection?
Were they not afraid of the Farmer family and Ghost Abyss' retaliation?
"Everything happened too suddenly. I don't know why, but Liu Yue suddenly left Broken Star and returned to the Liu family's territory. Bai Wangyuan and a few others suddenly attacked him. Two Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, one Xia Shenji, and the Dragon Ancestor attacked him at the same time. Even I would not have been able to withstand their attacks, let alone Liu Yue. Liu Yue died too quickly, and no one could save him."
"Why did the Four Way Scales attack Liu Yue?
What about my senior? "
Lu Yin asked.
The Mist Ancestor felt a headache coming on. "Both ordinary cultivators and Progenitors have grudges against each other. The Lu family once controlled the Fifth Mainland and suppressed Progenitors from killing each other. All of the grudges were transferred to the Everlasting Race. Now that the Lu family and the Everlasting Race are gone, internal conflicts naturally erupted."
Lu Yin naturally understood this logic, but he had not expected it to erupt so quickly and for an ancestor to die so quickly.
"Mu Xie went to the Frozen Immortal Sect in the Pinnacle Realm to look for Bai Wangyuan. The Four Way Scales announced that Liu Yue had betrayed the human race. The Agriculture Ancestor and the Ghost Abyss Ancestor went as well. The Outer Realm is currently in chaos."
"What about Senior?
You didn't go? "
Lu Yin asked.
The Mist Ancestor calmly replied, "How can I interfere with the grudges between the various parties?
Mu Xie represents the Humble School, the Agriculture Ancestor, and the Ghost Abyss Ancestor represent themselves. I don't represent anyone. "
Lu Yin did not say anything. The Mist Ancestor was right, and no one could force her to help anyone.
If the Everlasting Race was still around, she could take action and use the overall situation to control both sides. However, the Everlasting Race was no longer around, so she had no reason to interfere. But was it wrong to go against the Everlasting Race?
Of course not; it was the human heart...
