When he heard the monkey's words, Lu Yin raised an eyebrow, and his interest was piqued. "A secret obtained from Progenitor Wushang's memories?"
The Ghost Monkey nodded and grinned. "My consciousness was almost taken over by that old thing, but I managed to obtain some memories. Very important memories related to the Hui Ancestor, but I can only tell you, Seventh Bro."
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold.
Master Shan was alarmed. "Young Master."
Lu Yin waved his hand, "Even if Ancestor Wushang is here, I'm not afraid."
The Ghost Monkey said bitterly, "Seventh Bro, why are you still doubting me?"
Lu Yin brought the monkey away from the crowd and arrived at the back of the mountain. He kicked the door open and said, "Speak."
The Ghost Monkey's shifty eyes swept around, and then he leaned closer to Lu Yin and whispered, "Actually, Ancestor Wushang did not become an Ancestor on his own. It was Ancestor Hui who helped him."
Lu Yin was surprised. "What did you say?
Ancestor Hui, help Ancestor Wushang become an ancestor? "
Ghost Monkey nodded and said solemnly, "Ancestor Wushang has the potential to become an ancestor, but there are many creatures in the universe who have the potential to become an ancestor. How many of them can actually become an ancestor?
It's because Ancestor Hui constantly gave Ancestor Wushang the Root of Wisdom Tea and helped him cultivate that Ancestor Wushang was able to become an Ancestor. Besides them, only the two of us know this secret. "
Lu Yin was puzzled, "Why is Ancestor Hui helping Ancestor Wushang?"
The Ghost Monkey's expression was solemn. "This is a big secret, an absolute secret. Seventh Brother, before you listen, you have to promise me one thing."
"No one in the Celestial Ice Phoenix Clan can snatch it from you. That's what I said."
The Ghost Monkey laughed. "Seventh Brother knows me best."
"Cut the crap."
"Yes. Seventh Bro, do you still remember the humanoid sourcebox?
What did Bu Tian tell you? "
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "Is it related to the humanoid sourcebox?"
Back when Lu Yin had found the Astral Beast Domain's hidden humanoid sourceboxes, Bu Tian had told him that these sourceboxes were cultivators who had used the Origin Stone Technique to transform themselves into humanoid sourceboxes in order to avoid the collapse of the Astral Beast Domain's continents. That was how they had managed to survive. The Astral Beast Domain had collected these sourceboxes in order to use the Inverse Origin Formation to unlock them. Anyone who had been unlocked would be controlled, which would increase the Astral Beast Domain's strength.
At first, Lu Yin didn't believe it, but he had looked for Xiao Shi and used the Book of Destiny to investigate. Only then did he confirm that the Inverse Origin Formation and the Origin Stone Technique were real, and he no longer doubted anything.
Ghost Monkey solemnly said, "The human-shaped sourcebox is related to the Fourth Mainland's Daolord, the Desolate God."
"This was once the Fourth Mainland's greatest secret, and I don't know how Ancestor Hui found out about it, but the Desolate God didn't actually die. It merely split its body into countless pieces and handed them over to the astral beasts for safekeeping. Those astral beasts all took human form, and when the Fourth Mainland was destroyed, they cultivated the Source Stone Technique and transformed themselves into human-shaped sourceboxes. When the Fourth Mainland was destroyed, they would be able to reassemble the Desolate God and allow it to return to the universe."
Lu Yin was shocked. "The Aragami can reappear?"
Ghost Monkey nodded.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. The Desolate God was one of the Six Paths of the Three Realms during the Above Heaven era. It was an existence that was on par with the Ancient Path Master and the Lu family's ancestor. It was definitely a terrifying powerhouse that Old Mo couldn't compare to. Once the Desolate God appeared, the Genesis Space and even the Six Paths Society's structure would change.
The Grand Empyrean was very powerful, but he had his own opponents as well. He had to tie down the only True God of the Eternals.
If there was another Aragami here, what would happen?
Lu Yin did not doubt that the Aragami would attack the humans. To the astral beasts, there was no difference whether they were Eternals or humans.
During the Above Heaven era, the Fourth Mainland was filled with astral beasts.
They were enslaved by humans, and their hatred for humans was engraved in their bones.
Lu Yin's voice changed. "I've checked the Book of Destiny, and Bu Tian's words are correct. The Source Stone Technique requires the Inverse Origin Formation to be unlocked, and the person who is unlocked will be controlled. Bu Tian's goal in collecting the human-shaped sourceboxes was to achieve this."
Ghost Monkey said, "This is where the Desolate God's brilliance lies. He didn't create anything on his own. Instead, he infused the Savage Scripture into the Source Stone Technique. The Source Stone Technique is real, the Inverse Origin Formation is real, and the Inverse Origin Formation is even more real. The only difference is that those who unlock the sourcebox are not humans, but astral beasts. Some of them have taken control of the Desolate God's body, and once the sourcebox is successfully unlocked, the Desolate God will emerge, and that will be troublesome."
"Progenitor Hui helped Progenitor Wushang become Progenitor in order to prevent the Desolate God from appearing. He couldn't possibly destroy the Astral Beast Domain, and he couldn't stop them from collecting the human-shaped sourceboxes, but Progenitor Wushang could."
"When Progenitor Wushang was alive, he did everything he could to prevent the Inverse Origin Formation from activating, and he left behind a backup plan. Progenitor Hui also sealed many of the human-shaped sourceboxes, which is why the Astral Beast Domain has not been able to use the Inverse Origin Formation to unlock the human-shaped sourceboxes. They have not collected enough of them."
This was the origin and purpose of Progenitor Hui's seals. He had sealed all the human-shaped sourceboxes in order to prevent the Desolate God from returning.
Lu Yin remembered Bu Tian mentioning that he had two opportunities to unlock the sourcebox using the Inverse Origin Formation, but he had been delayed by other reasons.
In that case, did Bu Tian and the others know about this?
Had they used the Inverse Origin Formation to trick him, or had they been tricked as well?
Lu Yin's expression sank. They should have known that there was a Desolate God statue in the space where the human-shaped sourceboxes were gathered. Bu Tian often worshipped it, so he definitely knew about this secret.
Lu Yin had never thought that he would be tricked in the end. If he hadn't brought out Progenitor Wushang's corpse on a whim, and if the Ghost Monkey hadn't coincidentally obtained Progenitor Wushang's memories, then he would have been unable to deal with the Eternals and thus decided to unlock the human-shaped sourceboxes. Then, he would not have brought out the power to resist the Eternals, but rather the Desolate God.
Lu Yin looked into the distance with a deep gaze.
The universe was never simple, and intelligent lifeforms were even more so.
During the era of the Above Heaven, the Six Direction Sect had disregarded the Eternals, which had led to the Lu family's eventual exile.
The Above Heaven era had also enslaved the astral beasts, which had turned the Fourth Mainland into a paradise for humans. This had also led to the astral beasts viewing humans with hostility.
Using this method to revive the Desolate God was actually very risky, but it had still chosen to do so. This represented its determination, and once it appeared, it would no longer be under anyone's control.
The Ghost Monkey clenched his fists and angrily said, "Seventh Bro, those bastards from the Astral Beast Domain are too vicious. They're trying to revive the Desolate God behind your back.
Lu Yin looked at him. "Why is Progenitor Wushang willing to help Progenitor Hui?"
The Ghost Monkey replied, "There are good and bad humans as well. Sects kill each other, clans kill each other, and so on. It's the same for astral beasts."
"I don't know the exact reason. I didn't obtain all of Progenitor Wushang's memories, only a small portion of his most profound memories. However, I'm sure that Progenitor Wushang doesn't like the Desolate God and doesn't want to be controlled by it."
Lu Yin retracted his gaze. Does he not like the Desolate God?
Progenitor Wushang must have seen the Desolate God's statue.
Forget it. This was a matter between Progenitor Wushang and Progenitor Hui. Now that he knew what Progenitor Hui had sealed, there was even less reason for him to open it.
Lu Yin looked in a certain direction and saw Bu Tian, who was teaching Xiao Shi the art of destiny. This guy was hiding too much.
"Monkey, are you alright?" Lu Yin asked.
He asked.
The Ghost Monkey immediately promised, "Seventh Bro, I'm fine. Absolutely fine."
Lu Yin looked at the monkey and smiled. "Actually, if you become Progenitor Wushang, you'll be of even greater help to me."
The Ghost Monkey opened his mouth and howled, "Seventh Bro, how can you do this? If I become Progenitor Wushang, your little monkey will be gone forever."
Lu Yin looked away. "Alright, I'll give you a mission. From now on, you'll be in charge of collecting human-shaped sourceboxes. Throughout the entire Fifth Mainland, including the Technocracy and Astral Beast Domains, you'll need to collect any human-shaped sourceboxes. Tell everyone that I'm going to use the Inverse Origin Formation to unseal them."
The Ghost Monkey blinked. "Unseal them?"
Lu Yin looked in Bu Tian's direction. "Keep an eye on them and see who's still collecting human-shaped sourceboxes. Whoever is collecting them is suspicious."
The Ghost Monkey puffed out his chest. "Understood. Seventh Bro, don't worry. This little monkey definitely won't disappoint you. I want to see who dares to compete with me, no, Seventh Bro for human-shaped sourceboxes. Even if the Desolate God is reborn, it will have to kneel down and become Seventh Bro's mount.
Lu Yin was speechless. This guy was even more daring than he was. Make the Desolate God his mount?
Even the Primogenitors had never done such a thing.
Lu Yin suddenly recalled that he had once dreamt of the Primordial Era, where he had seen a person who was 90% similar to himself jumping and cheering on the back of an enormous creature. That creature should have been the Immovable Heavenly King Elephant, and it was so large that it seemed to be able to support the entire universe. It was not something that the Helldragon could compare to.
Lu Yin did not know how strong the Immovable Heavenly King Elephant was, or if it was simply large in size.
If its strength was proportional to its size, then using it as a mount would be enough to scare a bunch of people to death. It would not be a problem for it to dominate the entire universe.
Actually, Lu Yin could have used Xuan Qi's identity to exit seclusion, but Wang Wen had reminded him of something. He had to use his own identity to travel through the Three Sovereigns' Spacetime.
Lu Yin had always wanted the Fifth Mainland to replace the Three Sovereigns' Spacetime and become one of the Six Directional Associations. He had done so by capturing Mu Jun and confronting Luo Jun. However, he had neglected one point: his original identity as Lu Yin had never done anything in the Three Sovereigns' Spacetime. Even if he used Xuan Qi's identity to stir up trouble, Lu Yin's identity was still too sudden.
Thus, Lu Yin decided to make a trip to the Three Sovereigns' Spacetime.
It was very simple to travel from the Fifth Mainland to the Three Sovereigns' Spacetime; all he had to do was pass through Shenwu Continent's passage.
When the passage opened, in addition to the confrontation between the Three Sovereigns' Spacetime and the Fifth Mainland, it also helped the Three Sovereigns' Spacetime remove the poison of time.
This was something that Lu Yin had not paid attention to.
The Three Sovereigns' Spacetime had always been poisoned by time, so much so that the original spacetime could not be maintained. Everyone could only cultivate their Monarch's Aura, but when the passage opened and connected to the Fifth Mainland, the Progenitor's Sword helped the Three Sovereigns' Spacetime remove the poison of time.
However, even if the poison of time disappeared, it did not matter because no one in the Three Sovereigns' Spacetime could cultivate their former strength.
The Monarch's Aura was not weak.
Outside the passage, three Demigods surrounded it and stared at it. They had been ordered by Luo Shan to guard the passage and not allow any cultivators from the Genesis Space to enter.
On the other side of the passage, there were also powerhouses from the Three Sovereigns' Spacetime guarding it.
Both sides had a tacit understanding that no one would interact with each other. Even if the Four Cardinal Sky had helped them defend the Six Directional Association, they had relied on the Three Sovereigns' Spacetime to tear through the void to arrive.
