These three words had caused the Above Heaven Sect to collapse, the Blood Ancestor to become an ordinary person, and many people to die.
When these three words were spoken, Yuan Sheng's expression remained calm and proud. The two youths behind him were the same, looking at Lu Yin with teasing gazes.
They weren't Progenitors, but they weren't afraid of a Progenitor at all.
They looked at this spacetime with a sense of superiority.
Lu Yin suddenly calmed down. These three words were the best explanation he could come up with. There was no need for any more nonsense, and there was no need for so many pompous words. There were only three words, and that was it.
"Senior, you must be here to discuss how to deal with the Eternals. Please come to my Frigid Immortal Sect. We will gather everyone to discuss this," Bai Xianer said as she stood between Yuan Sheng and Lu Yin, blocking his line of sight.
Yuan Sheng looked at Bai Xianer. "There's no need. Those who are qualified to discuss the war are all here. Only Progenitors are qualified to listen." He glanced at Bai Wangyuan, Wang Fan, and the others and asked curiously, "Where's Xia Shenji?"
Xia Qin replied, "He's missing."
Yuan Sheng looked at Xia Qin. "Why is he missing?"
Xia Qin looked at Lu Yin.
Yuan Sheng followed her gaze and saw Lu Yin again.
Lu Yin said, "I banished him to a parallel spacetime."
Yuan Sheng looked at him deeply. "Then you'll be responsible for finding him."
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. "Who do you think you are? How dare you ask me to do something? If it weren't for your dogs, you wouldn't have been able to return today."
"Lu Xiaoxuan, how dare you!" Bai Wangyuan rebuked. This was the first time they had been scolded like this.
Bai Xianer's face also darkened. "Brother Lu, there's no point in arguing."
Lu Yin replied, "Then get out of my way. Let's see if I'm arguing."
Yuan Sheng shook his head and smiled nonchalantly. "You can kill me, but not here. Son of the Lu Family, since you don't want to waste your breath, come with me to the main space. I will give you a chance to have a fair fight there."
"Senior, let me fight him first. There's no need for you to do anything," the young man in golden robes behind Yuan Sheng spoke up for the first time.
Lu Yin raised a hand and pointed at the youth in the pale golden robes. "I'll kill you in one move."
The young man's expression changed. His gaze turned cold as he sneered. "How long has it been since someone dared to be so arrogant in front of me? The people of the Lu Family are indeed arrogant. Very well, today …" Yuan Sheng raised his hand and waved.
The young man in the faint golden robe was unwilling to give up. "Senior, let me go. I'll teach this son of the Lu Clan a lesson for you."
Yuan Sheng looked at Lu Yin and said, "This space-time is not suitable for us to take action. Child of the Lu Family, Xia Shenji, you must find him. Otherwise, what awaits you will be even more miserable than when the Lu Family was exiled. The Great Heavenly Venerate had already shown mercy by exiling the Lu Family and giving them a chance to survive. However, you have repeatedly spoken rudely, so your fate will be even worse than the entire Lu Family's.
"The Grand Empyrean is the ruler of your space-time?"
Elder Chan asked.
Yuan Sage replied. "He is the master of all of us. If you are fated to meet the Great Heavenly Venerate one day, you must remember to kneel before him. Otherwise, the Great Heavenly Venerate's anger is not something you can bear."
These words were not only meant for Elder Chan's ears, but also for everyone present.
Bai Wangyuan and Wang Fan looked at each other calmly. It was obvious that this was not the first time they had heard such words.
Xia Qin raised her brows. "Kneel before him?"
Yuan Sheng looked at her. "As a Progenitor, it is indeed unacceptable for you to kneel before him. However, the moment you see the Great Heavenly Venerate, you will be able to sense that he is a ruler who can make all living beings kneel before him. Regardless of whether it is his realm or his merit, the Great Heavenly Venerate is able to withstand the worship of everyone. If not for the Great Heavenly Venerate, the human race would have been transformed by the Eternals and turned into monsters.
Progenitors could not do it and died at the hands of the Eternals. The Great Heavenly Venerate shouldered the burden of everything. Is that not enough to make you kneel before him? "
Xia Qin was about to retort when Bai Xianer spoke up. "Senior, are you also here on the orders of the Great Heavenly Venerate?"
Yuan Sheng nodded. "Back then, when you accidentally trapped the Undying Deity, the Seven Skygods came to your rescue. Even the Sole True God took action. That was not a power that you could resist. The Great Heavenly Venerate held back the Sole True God while the Six Direction Guild's battlefield dragged the Seven Skygods away. That was why your space-time was able to expel the Eternals. Now that the pressure on the Six Direction Guild's battlefield has increased, the forces that the Eternals originally placed in your space-time have appeared in other battlefields.
Lu Yin listened calmly. There was no point in saying anything now. He just wanted to understand the Six Direction Guild, the main space, and the Great Heavenly Venerate.
Yuan Sheng had said a lot, but his ultimate goal was to open up a path through the Eternals' battlefield in this space-time and share some of the pressure on the Six Direction Guild.
Bai Wangyuan and the others were naturally unwilling. After all, they had finally managed to expel the Eternals, so why should they take the initiative to start a war?
However, Yuan Sheng had brought the Great Heavenly Venerate's will, so they could not refuse.
"You guys won't refuse, right?" Yuan Sheng looked at Bai Wangyuan and the others.
Bai Wangyuan was put in a difficult position. "Madman Lu went to the main space, Liu Yue was killed because he was suspected of colluding with the Eternals, and Xia Shenji was exiled. The strength of our space-time has decreased greatly. Moreover, the Sole True God attacked the Mother Tree and caused the infinite power array to collapse. If we face the Eternals now, we might not be able to hold on."
Yuan Sheng was dissatisfied. "Although your space-time has weakened greatly, there are still many Progenitors. Otherwise, the Great Heavenly Venerate would not have thought of you guys. Since I've brought this up, I'm not asking you guys to die.
Most of the Eternals' forces are restrained by the Six Direction Guild. You guys only need to deal with a small portion of their forces. "
Lu Yin and Elder Chan exchanged glances. This situation reminded them of the time when they were dealing with the Undying Deity. Yuan Sheng had taken the initiative to open up the Starfall Sea to share the burden of the Eternals' forces. If that was the case, it would not be wrong to consider the overall situation of the human race.
But was this really what the Six Direction Guild was thinking?
Lu Yin stared at Yuan Sheng. He saw the arrogance in Yuan Sheng's eyes as he spoke, and the hostility in the eyes of the two youths behind him. It was not as simple as it seemed.
With the strength of their space-time, how could they not be qualified to join the Six Direction Guild? The three monarch space-times were all part of the Six Direction Guild, and their space-time definitely surpassed the three monarch space-times. Even so, they were still not part of the Six Direction Guild and were excluded. This meant that the Six Direction Guild, led by the main space, had other ideas about the Origin Space.
If they did as the main space wanted, they would be easily passive. Once the Six Direction Guild threw most of the Eternals' forces here, they would have no way to ask for help.
If Lu Yin could think of this, Bai Wangyuan and the others could naturally think of it as well. No one wanted to court death.
"Senior Yuan Sheng, there are many ways to share the burden of the Six Direction Guild. Can you give us some time to think about it? Don't worry, we will definitely take action. No one can stay out of the fight against the Eternals," Bai Xianer said respectfully.
Yuan Sheng's expression softened when he heard her words. "It's good that you know. No one can stay out of the fight. We helped you share the burden in the past and did not ask for any resources. As humans, we must be grateful."
He then looked at Lu Yin. "Lu Family's son, find Xia Shenji. Xia Shenji greets the Grand Heavenly Venerate, and the Grand Heavenly Venerate appreciates him. If the Grand Heavenly Venerate finds out that you banished Xia Shenji, he can easily kill you. Don't anger the Grand Heavenly Venerate." He then tore through the void and looked back before leaving. "The Grand Heavenly Venerate's tea party is approaching. If you can offer up that mount, it might make up for the Lu Family's sins."
Lu Yin remained calm, as if he had not heard anything that Yuan Sheng had said.
Even the last sentence remained calm, so calm that it was frightening.
Only those who understood him knew that the more Lu Yin was like this, the more he was like this.
The more terrifying he was.
Seeing that Yuan Sheng was about to leave, Lu Yin said, "Let's play a game."
Everyone was at a loss. A game?
Yuan Sheng was amused. "What game?"
Lu Yin replied, "The game's name is Cat and Mouse." His eyes flashed with endless coldness. "You don't dare to fight me to the death here. These fellows will protect you. You can hide, but no matter where you hide, I will catch you. Then …" He then pointed at the Above Heaven Sect in the direction of the Blood Ancestor. "When I catch you, you will kneel there."
Yuan Sheng looked at Lu Yin and suddenly burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. The two youths behind him also laughed and looked at Lu Yin mockingly.
"Alright, I'll play this game with you and show you who's the cat and who's the mouse." He then turned around and left.
The others did not interrupt and did not say anything about this matter even after Yuan Sheng had left. The fate of the Above Heaven Sect and the purpose of Yuan Sheng's visit had made them feel uneasy.
As for the game that Lu Yin had mentioned, none of them felt that it was a joke. Yuan Sheng did not understand this person at all, and they had no obligation to remind him. This was their own business.
Bai Wangyuan retracted his gaze from Lu Yin. "The six parties will let us lead the Eternals into the war. If they plot against us and throw most of the Eternals into our space-time, the situation will not be any better than before."
Xia Qin asked, "Why should we listen to them?"
Bai Wangyuan frowned. There were not many people in this space-time who truly understood the main space, including the Progenitors. Only those who understood the main space would know how terrifying it was. So what if they were from the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas? The main space had power comparable to the Above Heaven Sect, and the Great Heavenly Venerate was an existence comparable to a Progenitor. A single finger from the Great Heavenly Venerate was enough to destroy all of them.
It was fine if they did not come into contact with the main space, but once they came into contact with it, they would no longer be able to control themselves. Furthermore, they had not only come into contact with the main space, but they had also used the main space to deal with the Lu Family. They could no longer be separated from the main space.
"This might not be the Great Heavenly Venerate's intention," Wang Fan suddenly said.
Bai Wangyuan's eyes flashed. "Are you saying that this is Yuan Sheng's own intention?"
Wang Fan replied, "The Great Heavenly Venerate is detached from worldly matters. Aside from dealing with the only True God, his other hobbies are tea tasting. He rarely interferes with the overall war situation. Furthermore, if this is the Great Heavenly Venerate's intention, why would Yuan Sheng test the Above Heaven Sect?" He then looked at Lu Yin. "You guys don't really believe Yuan Sheng's words, do you? He's testing the Above Heaven Sect just because he doesn't like it?"
Lu Yin looked at him. "Then why?"
Wang Fan shook his head. "I don't know, but my guess is that he might be testing the power of our space-time and plotting something."
Elder Chan said, "There's one thing that I find strange. If Yuan Sheng can open a path to the Eternals from the Above Heaven Sect, why would the Eternals attack the battlefield on the other side?
Why not just open a path in the starry sky? "
Bai Chi asked, "Lu Xiaoxuan can open a passage to the Eternal Kingdom's parallel space-time and exist for a long time?"
Lu Yin understood. Opening a passage to a parallel space-time was very short and could not allow an endless stream of Eternals to come over.
"The Eternals have their own way of making Corpse Kings appear endlessly, but those things are very fragile. Progenitors can destroy them, but once they enter, they will be easily destroyed. Those things are not infinite, or else the Corpse God would not have left the battlefield of the Sovereign Realm to protect them. Also, space-time coordinates are not that easy to determine, especially the coordinates of our space-time," Bai Chi explained.
Wang Fan continued, "Although we haven't confirmed it, our guess is that the larger the space-time, the more difficult it is to determine the coordinates. It's easy to determine the coordinates of a small space-time like the Eternal Kingdom, but it's not that easy to determine the coordinates of our space-time, even for the Eternals. Otherwise, our space-time would have been riddled with holes by the coordinates.
"The Hexagon Society cannot remain a secret forever. Even the Hexagon Society might not have the coordinates of our space-time."
