After arriving in the Technocracy, Lu Yin thought of the Hui Ancestor, the materialized consciousness, and the Dimensional Master.
What was the connection between them?
Previously, he had thought that the materialization of thoughts was the Ancestor Hui's talent. Since the Dimensional Master also had it, and not only did it come from the self-destructed body, the backup body also had it. In that case, it might not be a talent, but a type of power. Could the Ancestor Hui be related to the Dimensional Master?
Lu Yin casually thought about it and then stepped forward, appearing at the edge of the Starfall Sea. He did not disturb the cultivators stationed here and directly entered the Starfall Sea to find the Mara River.
When he looked up, the Mara River was incomparably majestic, as if it had split the Fifth Mainland into two.
He was not unfamiliar with this place, as he had seen the Symbol Ancestor go against the flow when he had traveled through spacetime. He had led the Rune Line Civilization into the Sixth Mainland and brought disaster to the Sixth Mainland.
Today, he would go against the flow as well.
The void distorted as Lu Yin manipulated the spatial lines, causing his body to instantly vanish. Regardless of whether it was space or the Mara River, everything was clearly visible to him within the spatial lines. He was able to teleport, instantly leaving the Starfall Sea and reaching almost half of the Mara River's height before continuing upwards.
Along the way, he saw a Corpse King that was at the level of a Half-Ancestor. It was guarding this place and keeping an eye on the Starfall Sea.
Lu Yin did not touch it, as doing so would attract the attention of the Eternals.
The boundless river was like a waterfall from the nine heavens, covering everything in sight.
When Lu Yin jumped again, he arrived above the Mara River and saw the endless river in the distance. This was the Sixth Mainland, a place that the Fifth Mainland had once hated.
The Sixth Mainland had attacked the Fifth Mainland from here, and the Sixth Mainland had fled to the Fifth Mainland from here as well.
The Symbol Ancestor had once fought to the death here, and Progenitor Chen's blood had dyed the heavens red.
Lu Yin's figure flashed, as he did not know where Stargazing Deck was. Right now, he needed to find the humans.
When the Sixth Mainland had fled, they had taken the cultivators with them to preserve the Sixth Mainland's seed. There were too many people left, and it was impossible to say for sure. It was impossible for all of them to have been transformed into Corpse Kings, so there was definitely an Eternal Kingdom here.
Lu Yin's guess was correct, and after searching for a while, he found the first Eternal Kingdom. It was located in the Blackblood Realm, where the Mara River intersected. There was definitely more than one Eternal Kingdom in a huge region.
The purpose of the Eternal Kingdoms was to allow Corpse Kings and humans to coexist. The Eternals were trying to find a way to coexist, but Lu Yin found it laughable.
Sentient beings and emotionless beings could never coexist unless one was absolutely dominant.
What the Eternals wanted was absolute dominance.
After searching for a while, Lu Yin still couldn't find any clues about Stargazing Lou. However, Lu Yin did see some signs of war. Were there still humans in the Sixth Mainland who were fighting against the Everlasting Race?
Hidden in the void, Lu Yin watched the battle between the Corpse Kings and the humans on the distant continent. Many human cultivators fought to the death, sometimes winning and sometimes being defeated.
The Sixth Mainland already belonged to the Everlasting Race, and there were too many Everlasting experts here. Of those who were fighting against the Corpse King, the strongest were Emissaries. They should have broken through in the past few decades, and any Half-Martial Ancestor Corpse King could easily wipe them out.
But the war lasted for a long time.
It wasn't just this place; there were many other battlefields in the Sixth Mainland as well. These battlefields were the frontlines of the humans' resistance against the Eternals, and the humans had even gathered together to build settlements.
Looking at this, Lu Yin recalled the Hyperspace Dimension's description of the Drifting Cloud Space.
Experiments. The Eternals were also giving these people hope. Perhaps it wasn't an experiment. Perhaps it was. He didn't know.
These people could have been wiped out in an instant, but the war had dragged on. Perhaps countless years later, the people of the colony would think that they had been able to hold off the Eternals. Little did they know that the Eternals could wipe out everything with a single thought.
Lu Yin thought of the Fifth Mainland and the Six Direction Society. Would they be in the same situation?
A group of frogs at the bottom of a well, thinking that they had done well. They thought that there was hope, but was it all because of the Eternals?
Lu Yin quickly dispelled this thought as soon as it appeared. It was too pessimistic and terrifying. If that was the case, then what was the point of their existence?
Toys?
He would rather believe that the humans had truly held off the Eternals and that this was a long and drawn-out war, not an experiment.
He couldn't help them in this war.
Just as he was about to leave, the void suddenly tore open in a corner of the battlefield, and a woman walked out. She wielded a three-foot-long sword that glowed with a white light that resembled scales. She instantly split the battlefield in two, and wherever she passed, the Corpse Kings were destroyed.
Lu Yin looked at the battlefield. This woman's sword had the destructive power of an Emissary, and it shouldn't have attracted his attention. But for some reason, when she appeared, the battlefield and even the heavens changed. It was as if all eyes were focused on her.
She was dressed in white and wielded a three-foot-long sword that tore through the dark battlefield.
Her face wasn't as beautiful as Ming Yan, He Ran, or Bai Qian, but she had a strange charm. It was as if her appearance was the center of the universe.
This was a feeling that Lu Yin had never experienced before.
He had seen too many women in his life. They were beautiful, sexy, enchanting, intelligent, heroic, and so on, but none of them were as eye-catching as this woman. Even Bai Qian and the others couldn't do it.
This woman's cultivation wasn't very high, and she wasn't the prettiest, but she was still able to attract attention.
Strange. White sword light suppressed the battlefield in the blink of an eye. The giant Corpse King punched out, but it was easily torn apart by the woman's sword. No matter how bloody the scene was, it couldn't taint her in the slightest. She was like that white light that would never fade.
"It's the Valkyrie! The Valkyrie is here!" the cultivators on the battlefield shouted frantically.
"It's the Valkyrie! I've heard of her legends."
"We've all heard of her. Wherever she goes, the Corpse Kings will retreat."
"The Valkyrie."
"The Valkyrie."
…
Countless people shouted excitedly, their voices forming a wave that drowned out the cries of the battlefield.
Lu Yin watched quietly.
This woman had single-handedly changed the situation of the battlefield. There were clearly powerful Corpse Kings in the distance, but they didn't attack.
Gradually, the Corpse Kings retreated. Just as the legends said, wherever this woman went, the Corpse Kings would retreat.
Lu Yin was intrigued, but he didn't leave immediately. He just watched. This woman was very strange.
When the battle ended, the woman sheathed her sword and just stood there on the battlefield, breathing in the stench of blood. Her face was silent and expressionless.
The cultivators in the distance didn't approach her either. They all watched from afar with a burning passion, excitedly discussing something.
One day, two days, three days passed.
Finally, on the fourth day, the human cultivators passed by the woman and charged towards the Eternals. The Eternal Kingdom stood tall in the distance, and they wanted to take it and rescue the people imprisoned there.
The Corpse Kings met the humans head-on, and a new battle began.
First to Act
The woman was the one who killed the Corpse Kings.
She had started later than everyone else, but she was the first to reach the frontlines and kill the Corpse Kings.
Under her leadership, the human cultivators' morale soared as they slaughtered their way towards the Eternal Kingdom.
Aside from the Corpse Kings, there were also humans in the Eternal Kingdom. These people had long since surrendered to the Eternals, and the Eternals had changed their minds and made them fight for the Eternals.
The Eternals were the most difficult opponents for these people to deal with. It wasn't because of their cultivation, but because their hearts were unbearable.
"Wake up! Those monsters are the enemy! We're the same kind!" someone shouted, but they were met with a fierce attack.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Stop talking, they won't listen. This is why we destroyed the Eternal Kingdom in the first place."
On the battlefield, the bloody slaughter continued.
The woman attacked without hesitation, but she only killed the Corpse Kings and avoided the humans in the Eternal Kingdom.
The Eternals' Corpse Kings weren't weak, but regardless of whether they were at the same level or stronger, they were all weak in front of the woman. It was so weak that Lu Yin found it strange. It was as if these Corpse Kings didn't resist at all.
Lu Yin had experienced countless battles, and even with his current strength, the battlefield was always dangerous. There were always stronger opponents waiting for him.
However, this woman was too casual, and her expression was too calm. It wasn't that she was numb, but rather that she was indifferent.
The more Lu Yin watched, the stranger he felt.
Finally, he realized that the strange thing was that this woman rarely faced the Corpse Kings head-on. Her every attack, every movement, and every attack were all aimed at the Corpse Kings' weak points. It could be said that she had grasped the enemy's fatal weakness in an instant, and it was as if these Corpse Kings were just there for her to kill.
It seemed simple, but it was definitely not easy to completely see through an enemy's weakness on the battlefield.
Lu Yin had received the Sword Stele's inheritance and learned how to break through various weapons. Even so, it was difficult for him to instantly find a fatal weakness when fighting against an opponent of the same level. At most, he could break through the opponent's weapon techniques, but he couldn't do it as easily as this woman.
To her, the battlefield was like a stroll.
Her sword was three feet long, and there wasn't a single drop of blood on it. This was abnormal.
It was as if she had a combat ability that didn't belong to this realm.
The humans were getting closer and closer to the Eternal Kingdom, and with this woman here, the Eternal Kingdom was on the verge of collapse.
Just as Lu Yin was looking forward to it, the Corpse King overseeing the Eternal Kingdom finally attacked.
The Half Ancestor level was a qualitative change. As soon as the Half Ancestor Corpse King attacked, the woman suddenly stopped and swung her sword horizontally, stopping all of the people who were charging toward the Country of Eternity. "Retreat!"
No one dared to hesitate, and they slowly retreated according to the woman's words.
Within the Eternal Kingdom, the Corpse King walked out and stared at the woman with scarlet eyes. It walked forward step by step, leaving behind traces of gold on the ground. This was an innate gift.
Everyone stared at the Corpse King in fear. They had fought fiercely with the Eternal Kingdom for a long time, and they had some understanding of the situation inside. However, they didn't know that there was such a powerful Corpse King inside. If this Corpse King had appeared from the beginning, they wouldn't have been able to kill it no matter how many of them there were.
Why didn't such a powerful Corpse King attack?
"All of you must die." The Corpse King spoke in a hoarse voice. As it spoke, it raised its hand and waved it. The sky was dyed in gold, and it looked extremely beautiful. However, this beauty was fatal.
