Lu Yin had naturally entered the stone tower to investigate Gu Yue. Outside, he couldn't ask anyone else about Gu Yue, as that would expose him. He could only investigate on his own.
Fortunately, the stone building is worthy of its reputation. It records a lot of history in the Three Monarchs Universe, including Gu Yue's affairs.
Half a day later, Lu Yin stood at the top of the stone tower and looked outside, his eyes filled with a bone-chilling coldness.
The situation was more or less as he had guessed. Lord Wu had also mentioned a few things.
Gu Yue had entered the three monarchs' space-time continuum through the spatial link between Shenwu Continent and the three monarchs' space-time continuum. After traveling for a hundred years, he had made many good friends, and one of them was a friend who had gone through life and death situations with him. His name was Bo, and people called him Elder Bo. Gu Yue trusted this person the most, but there was also a problem with this person.
This person had the intention of getting close to Gu Yue, because Gu Yue did not cultivate the Sovereign King Qi, he did not dare to use his power, but his body was abnormally strong.
There was clearly something wrong with having the physical strength of a peak Emissary without cultivation.
The old man found out that Gu Yue came from a parallel universe, and at the same time, Gu Yue also found out that the old man was actually a member of the Explorer Team.
The so-called exploration is a force specially used by the three monarchs' universe to experiment and search for parallel universes. The people inside capture sub-humans for fun. Once they find a suitable parallel universe to live in and report it to the three monarchs, they will get a lot of rewards, and the parallel universe that is discovered will end very miserably.
Gu Yue had hurriedly returned to the Fifth Mainland because he had discovered that this Elder was a realm explorer. However, he had still been pursued by Elder Gu Yue and a group of other realm explorers. Although he had managed to escape to the Fifth Mainland, he had been on the verge of death. In order to prevent the three sovereigns from entering the Fifth Mainland, Gu Yue had used up the last of his strength to lay down a sourcebox array that blocked the space-time connection. He had left behind the Tower of Resonating Light before finally dying.
The reason why this incident could be recorded was because it was related to a parallel universe. Any incident related to a parallel universe had to be recorded in the stone building.
It would have been fine if that was all there was to it, as it was normal for different space-time universes to have different ways of interacting with one another. What Lu Yin was concerned about was that the elder had actually enslaved a descendant of the Gu Yue Clan.
Gu Yue had roamed this space-time for a hundred years. Not only had he made friends, but he had also found a lover and descendants. When he had fled back to the Fifth Mainland, he had been in too much of a hurry, so he hadn't been able to take them with him. Furthermore, after returning to the Fifth Mainland to set up a sourcebox array, he had died. He was powerless to protect his descendants.
Because of Gu Yue's escape, Elder Bo enslaved Gu Yue's descendants out of anger. He made them slaves for the rest of their lives in the Exploration World. Generation after generation, they continued to multiply, but they continued to be slaves to vent his anger.
Lu Yin looked outside and soon walked out of the stone tower.
Over the next few days, Cang Bi brought Lu Yin around the Imperial Domain, going to places that normal people could not enter.
On the fifth day, Guan Lao Da came looking for Lu Yin. "Acting Prefecture Lord, Chengfen has recruited a new name: Bo."
Lu Yin was surprised. "Uncle?
What Bo? Is it a name? "
Behind him, Cang Bi found the name familiar.
He seemed to have heard of it somewhere before.
Guan Lao said, "Yes, and it's someone from the Three Monarchs Universe. According to Chengfen, this person met him once at the cliff. He told Uncle the message he needed to deliver through singing. This person is the spy."
"I remember now, Uncle Explorer?"
Cang Bi was shocked.
Lu Yin and Guan Lao Da looked at him. "You know him?"
Cang Bi nodded. "He's a scout. I never thought that he would be a spy. How unexpected."
"Since you know each other, let's go together," Lu Yin said before stepping forward to explore the realm.
The Scout Realm was located in the Upper King Starfield, and there were many members there. Most of them were experts, and this Bo could be considered a top-notch expert, second only to a half-monarch. After all, he was from the same generation as Gu Yue.
He was even older than Gu Yue.
…
Today was the decennial meeting of the Scout Realm, and everyone had to report their findings.
"I've taken the risk of tearing through the void and going to seven parallel universes over the past ten years. It was very unlucky, and there were no humans in any of them. Most of them didn't even have any intelligent lifeforms."
"I did find a parallel universe with intelligent lifeforms, but I almost died. There was a monster there that ate the stars. It was terrifying."
"I went to three parallel universes."
"I went to two."
Everyone was discussing this.
"Why isn't Uncle Explorer here yet?"
"Uncle Explorer has never been late for a meeting like this. I heard that there was some movement there, so he might have gone."
"Are you talking about the spatial tunnel that Gu Yue escaped through?"
"Shhh! Gu Yue's name is taboo."
At this moment, an old man appeared at the head of the table with a smile on his face. It was Uncle Explorer, and his seniority in the Scout Realm was second only to the Scout Realm Protector. The Scout Realm Protector was a half-monarch who was currently residing in Mo He Courtyard, so Uncle Explorer was actually in charge of the Scout Realm.
Everyone hurriedly retracted their auras and sat down.
"Everyone, you've had a good chat. Have you gained anything over the past ten years?"
Uncle Explorer asked.
Everyone reported what they had gained.
Uncle Explorer was in a good mood and slowly sipped his tea, occasionally giving a few comments. The atmosphere was harmonious.
"Everyone has worked hard over the past ten years. Going to parallel universes is very dangerous, and we've lost twenty-six of our companions. However, everyone should know that searching for parallel universes is an important matter. If we find one that satisfies Lord Luo and the others, it'll be enough for us three monarchs to leap through time and space, and it'll also allow everyone to leap through time and space. I hope everyone will take care of themselves," Uncle Explorer said.
Everyone hurriedly agreed.
"Apart from searching for parallel universes, you should also travel more. Perhaps you'll discover people from other parallel universes, such as Gu Yue."
Everyone was shocked. Gu Yue's name had always been taboo for Uncle Explorer, so why was he mentioning it now?
And he seemed to be in a good mood.
Similarly, one of the servants who was serving tea paused for a moment, but only for a moment. Then, he continued to serve them.
Uncle Explorer smiled faintly and looked at everyone. "If I hadn't traveled, how would I have discovered Gu Yue?" He then looked at the servant serving tea. "Come here."
The servant's heart trembled, and he carefully walked behind Uncle Explorer with his head lowered, not daring to raise it.
Uncle Explorer said indifferently, "Everyone should know that he's a descendant of Gu Yue, and he'll be a slave for life. This is an example. Anyone who dares to escape after discovering someone from a parallel universe will end up like him." He then looked at the servant. "Let me ask you, do you hate Gu Yue?"
The servant hurriedly knelt. "Yes, sir."
"How much do you hate him?"
"I wish I could eat his flesh and crush his bones."
"Hahahaha, how many generations of Gu Yue's descendants are you?"
"Thirty-first."
Uncle Explorer sighed. "It's already the thirty-first generation. Has so much time passed?"
Everyone quietly waited for Uncle Explorer to speak, not daring to interrupt.
"Do you really hate Gu Yue?"
Old Man Bo asked again.
The servant's gaze was fierce. "Yes, I hate him for abandoning us and running away alone. I hate him for offending you, sir. I hate him for only caring about his homeland. Not only me, but my entire clan hates him.
Uncle Explorer laughed again. "Thirty-first generation. Thirty-first generation of Gu Yue's descendants.
Of the two hundred and forty-five generations, you are the smartest. Only you have the ability to hide your own descendant. "
The servant's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Uncle Explorer in disbelief.
The others also looked at the servant in shock. Hide him?
This person was actually able to hide his own descendant?
Uncle Explorer waved his hand, and a female servant entered with a baby in her arms.
When the servant saw the baby, he was overwhelmed with shock. His entire body felt weak. He had actually been exposed.
He had done everything he could to give birth to a son and then hide him, all so that his descendant would no longer be a servant. Of course, on the surface, he definitely had a son who was a slave, but in secret, he could hide this son. He had actually been exposed.
The baby was carried to Uncle Explorer, who took it and looked at the sleeping baby. "He's very cute, but it's a pity that he's Gu Yue's descendant. How do you think I should deal with him?"
The servant's eyes flickered, but he didn't dare to say a word. He didn't even dare to move. He just stared at the baby in Uncle Explorer's arms, his face deathly pale.
The others weren't surprised. They had seen too many demi-humans and had long since lost their compassion.
"You hid him so that he could live like a normal person and no longer be a slave. Perhaps you also have the intention of taking revenge in the future," Uncle Explorer said slowly.
The servant's fingers twitched, and he looked at Uncle Explorer in horror. "I wouldn't dare. I've never thought of taking revenge. Even if I wanted to, I would look for Gu Yue. I wouldn't dare to disturb you, sir."
Uncle Explorer sneered. "I've seen every generation of Gu Yue's descendants, including you. There are a total of thirty-one generations. I once said to Gu Yue that if he dared to escape, I would make his descendants slaves for the rest of their lives. Since I said it, I will do it."
The servant's face was deathly pale as he knelt on the ground. There was no point in saying anything now, so he could only wait for his punishment.
However, there was nothing worth doing. He had lived long enough, and at worst, he would just die. However, Uncle Explorer wouldn't let him die so easily. He wanted to torture Gu Yue's descendants and make them slaves. If they died, there would be nothing left.
"I'll give you a chance. You can make your son a slave again," Uncle Explorer suddenly said.
The servant was shocked and looked at Uncle Explorer in confusion.
The others were also shocked, but some of them didn't. They seemed to know something.
Uncle Explorer said, "You might be able to see Gu Yue soon, as long as he doesn't die."
The servant stared blankly at Uncle Explorer.
Uncle Explorer sneered, "If you see him, tell him all of your resentment over the years. I'd like to see his expression." With that, he casually tossed the infant away.
The servant was shocked and tried to catch him, but he didn't have any cultivation and was just an ordinary person.
The others didn't catch him either, allowing him to fall to the ground.
Suddenly, a figure walked out of the void and caught the infant.
Uncle Explorer raised his brows and looked over in displeasure.
Someone shouted, "Who is it?
How dare you be so impudent in the Explorer Realm! "
Everyone looked outside.
"You dare bully an infant? You really are a bunch of animals." Lu Yin looked up at the crowd. He was the one who had caught the infant.
"How dare you!" the explorers shouted.
Uncle Explorer narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Yin, but he didn't say anything.
Behind Lu Yin, Guan Lao Da, Yu Pi, Xu Ji, and Cang Bi walked out.
When they saw Cang Bi, everyone was shocked and hurriedly bowed.
Uncle Explorer stood up as well, "Greetings, Lord Cang Bi."
Lu Yin carried the infant and walked over to the servant. Under the servant's stunned gaze, Lu Yin handed the infant over, "This is your child, right?"
The servant took the infant and gulped, his expression returning to normal. He looked as if he had just been fished out of water, "Th-thank you."
