She stared at the empty space in front of her.
Cloudshadow felt a headache coming on. "It's not a small sum this time."
"When has he ever been short of money? Last time, he gave us five billion. This time, not even 500 billion is enough." He Mavis rolled her eyes.
Cloudshadow sighed. "Actually, the Mavis Family isn't greedy. Even when we were in charge of the Second Mainland, we didn't control the economy."
"No," He Mavis replied.
Cloudshadow shook her head. "We controlled the economy to repay the Lu family. The Lu family cultivates and consumes too many resources, but after the Lu family left, we got used to controlling the economy. I didn't expect that we would help them in the end. Sigh, this is good too."
He Luo Mavis looked at the divine tree and the giant fruits. She didn't care about finances, but the price that Lu Yin had mentioned was something that she cared about. She longed to be able to compete with this person once more, and even though the possibility of that happening was low, she was still unwilling to give up.
She was a Daozi, so how could she be weaker than this person?
In the Above Heaven era, it was hard to say who was stronger between her and Lu Tianyi. How could she be so much weaker than this person?
It wasn't just her; Chu Yuan and Jialan also wanted to compete with this person again. This day would definitely come, and even if he reached Progenitor before them, they would still be able to catch up.
After leaving the Mavis Family, Lu Yin rode the Caged Wyrm to the Technocracy. He wanted to go to the Astral Tree Domain and search for the Everlasting Race's star essence.
…
In the Astral Tree Domain, in the Central Realm, the Yin Mountain District was very different from three years ago. Lu Yin had undergone six Origin Tribulations, and the entire area had changed. The ground had become tougher, and dense cracks had spread from the roots of the Mother Tree. The center had caved in and formed a lake. At first, it was just the bottom, but as time passed, the lake would grow larger and larger. One day, it would flood the entire Yin Mountain District and disappear, replaced by the Central Realm's largest inland lake.
At this moment, many people had gathered around the lake to watch. There were disciples from various large families, countless wandering cultivators, and even people from the Four Cardinal Scales. They were all looking at the two figures above the lake: the Corpse Goddess and Sir Feather.
This was the third day of their duel. Three days ago, the two had fought here, and no one was allowed to interfere.
Above the lake, red blood dripped down along Prince Yu's arm. However, he was laughing. Behind him was the two-faced giant. The pure and holy side was crying, while the resentful side was roaring with hatred.
.................... Sir................. of.............................
Mister Yu laughed miserably. On the first day of the duel, he had threatened the lives of the students who were taken away from Yi Xian Academy in an attempt to disrupt the Culinary God's battle rhythm. However, he had failed. The Culinary God had been prepared for this, and those students had been saved.
However, on the second day, he poisoned the Two-faced Giant early in the morning. As long as the Culinary God touched it, he would be poisoned. Unfortunately, the Culinary God knew him too well. He did not touch the Two-faced Giant at all. He even saw through his poison.
. On the third day, a few hours ago. He told the Food God the details of how he killed his junior sister. He wanted to drive the Food God crazy, but he didn't succeed. The Food God was determined to kill him. After so many years, he had endured so much. Although he couldn't break through to the Progenitor Realm because of this, he wasn't affected by it.
Sir Feather had prepared a lot for this duel, but the Food God didn't.
He had prepared a lot as well.
This was a fair duel to the death. No one would interfere, not even the Dragon Ancestor.
"Master, it feels good to take revenge, right? Junior Sister's spirit in heaven must be very happy." Sir Feather laughed, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. On the back of the two-faced giant was a huge burning scar. He also had an identical scar on his back that ran through his entire upper body.
The Food God's gaze was neither sad nor happy. "I've been waiting for this day for a long time. In terms of strength, you're much weaker than me, but you dare to duel. The only thing you can rely on is the White Dragon Tribe. You used too many methods to win, but you don't know that strength is the foundation of everything.
Sir Feather shook his head. "Master, you didn't expect me to kill Junior Sister, did you?"
The Food God's gaze was filled with extreme hatred and killing intent, but his expression was terrifyingly calm.
"There are many things you didn't expect. If Junior Sister was killed, you couldn't save her. If you were killed, you couldn't save her either." Sir Feather then took out an eyeball from his cosmic ring. The huge eyeball stared at the Food God as if it had a mind of its own.
The Food God's pupils shrank. "Dragon Ancestor's Exotic Treasure."
Around them, outside the lake, Ce Donglai, Dean Wen, and the others were furious. "Despicable, you actually used an Ancestral Exotic Treasure."
Xia Ziheng was also watching from the sidelines. He shook his head disdainfully. "Sir Feather has the White Dragon Tribe as his backing, so how could he just throw his life away? The Food God is too naive. Does he really think that he can take revenge?"
Qing Chen frowned. As expected, since the White Dragon Tribe had spent so much effort to rope Sir Feather in, they couldn't just watch him throw his life away. An Ancestral Exotic Treasure was enough to turn the tables.
"Senior," Wen Di said worriedly.
Mr. Tang, Mr. Zheng, and the others were furious. They glared at Sir Feather and cursed him for being despicable.
Above Sir Feather's head, a giant eyeball stared at the Food God. "Master, what other tricks do you have?
Yi Xian Academy is backed by Lu Xiaoxuan, but even he has to rely on external items to fight against a Progenitor. Would he give them to you?
I'd like to see for myself. "
Lu Yin arrived in the distance and frowned. He subconsciously touched his cosmic ring. He really wanted to throw the slippers at the Food God and slap Sir Feather to death.
"You want to help the Food God?"
Bai Xianer's sudden appearance surprised Lu Yin.
"I thought that it would be Bai Wangyuan and the others," Lu Yin said. He hadn't hidden himself in the Astral Tree Domain, and he'd only had the Hellwyrm conceal his aura so that Bai Wangyuan and the others would be able to detect him the moment he arrived.
Bai Xianer replied, "Although I didn't let you come to this region, I can't stop you."
"Are you saying that I'm going back on my word?"
Lu Yin asked.
Bai Xianer looked ahead. "You want to help the Food God?"
"Long Er helped Sir Feather, so what's wrong with me helping the Food God?"
Bai Xianer replied, "No problem, but the Food God doesn't need your help."
"What do you mean?"
Lu Yin didn't understand. That eyeball wasn't something that the Food God could deal with because it had the power of a Progenitor. The Dragon Ancestor helping Sir Feather was too obvious and unsightly.
Bai Xianer asked, "Brother Xiaoxuan, do you think that everyone needs your help?"
Lu Yin frowned.
"Everyone has their own path. Did the Food God contact you before the duel?"
"Yes," Bai Xianer replied.
Lu Yin looked into the distance and saw that Sir Feather had already made his move. That eyeball had the ability to destroy the void, and the Food God could only dodge pathetically.
"Brother Xiaoxuan, let's make a bet.
Let's bet on the outcome of this duel. "Bai Xianer suddenly smiled at Lu Yin. Her smile was so beautiful that Lu Yin could see himself reflected in her eyes.
Lu Yin met her gaze. "I might not agree with the outcome of your bet."
Bai Xianer smiled. "It's up to you. You can interfere or not, but …" She paused. "The outcome won't change. This duel will end in mutual destruction."
Lu Yin raised his brows. "The Food God won't die if I take action. Long Er and the others won't fall out with me because of Sir Feather. I was able to stop them three years ago, and I can do the same three years later."
"So?
Brother Xiaoxuan, do you want to bet?
This should be a sure-win for you, "Bai Xianer challenged.
Lu Yin stared at her. "Is this the outcome you saw through the Book of Destiny?"
Bai Xianer smiled but didn't answer.
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. Destiny … Ever since he had learned about it, he had been wary of it. Whether it was Xuan Jiu's attitude or the legends about it, no one wanted their life to be predetermined. Destiny seemed to have written down everyone's life.
Although Destiny had helped him by giving him the ability to control the Four Way Scale through Stargazing Deck, Lu Yin still couldn't accept that his future had been seen through by Destiny.
"Alright, I'll bet with you. The Food God won't die. Even if the Dragon Ancestor and Bai Wangyuan interfere, I won't let him die. As for Sir Feather's death, it has nothing to do with me," Lu Yin said. He wanted to end this duel. No matter what grudge the Food God and Sir Feather had, he would interfere and overturn the outcome that Destiny had foreseen.
Of course, he would definitely give the Food God an explanation. Since he had interfered in the duel, he would avenge the Food God.
Bai Xianer's eyes lit up. "Brother Xiaoxuan, our bet will officially begin. What do you want to bet?"
Lu Yin didn't hesitate. "I want to know the truth behind the Lu family's banishment. Everything."
Bai Xianer smiled. "Alright."
"What about your bet?"
Lu Yin asked. Although he was confident that he could protect the Food God, Bai Xianer's attitude was too strange. Did she really trust Destiny that much?
He was sure that he could interfere with the outcome, so he asked for what he wanted the most. He really wanted to know what Bai Xianer wanted the most.
Bai Xianer turned to look at the sky above the lake, where the Food God was trying to dodge the eyeball. "If I win, I want the two Books of Destiny to converge."
"You want my Book of Destiny?"
Lu Yin was surprised.
Bai Xianer shook her head. "Just take a look. Converge the Books of Destiny and see the future. It's not a loss for you. You can see what I see."
Lu Yin thought about it. "Alright, it's decided."
Above the lake, the Food God's inner world had already collapsed. The eyeball had vanished into the void, causing him to cough up blood and his left arm to disappear. Across from him, Sir Feather's two-faced giant pressed down. "Master, what are you doing?
Hahaha, you're in such a sorry state. Junior Sister's spirit in heaven will laugh at you if she sees this. Didn't you want to avenge her?
Come on, Master, come on! "
The Food God gritted his teeth and coughed up blood. He wanted to find a chance to attack, but he didn't.
Beside the lake, Ce Donglai shouted, "This isn't a fair duel. Let's end it. We'll talk about it later."
"Let's end it."
"Senior, let's end it. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to avenge her, but you'll also die."
