After that, Lu Qi told Lu Yin many things about Lu Xiaoxuan, which lightened up the silent atmosphere considerably. Lu Xiaoxuan was an optimist, and Lu Yin's impression of him was that of a perfect fairytale. He had been born with everything: a powerful family, a childhood sweetheart, a maid, friends who shared the same interests. He was doted on and envied by countless people, and he led a carefree life without a care in the world.
This experience was enough to make anyone envious.
The more carefree Lu Xiaoxuan was, the more the Lu family pitied Lu Yin. They were two complete opposites.
Many people wanted to be like Lu Xiaoxuan, but in reality, most were Lu Yin.
Perhaps it was because Lu Xiaoxuan was living too well that all the disasters and suffering were left to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin laughed. He didn't resent or hate him; he was himself. So what if he had a good life? If he didn't want to be himself, how could he live?
The corpse kings of the Eternals had long since become another creature. They were no longer themselves.
Lu Yin was very clear about this. He didn't envy others; he wanted to live the life of his dreams and fight for it himself. Standing and walking was more tiring than lying down, but it was also more comfortable.
Of course, if the Lu family could solve all his problems, he wouldn't mind reliving Lu Xiaoxuan's life.
"Father, tell me about Big Sis and the others," Lu Yin said.
Lu Qi grunted. "Your eldest sister, Lu Qian, was born in a side branch of the Lu family. She was talented in both literature and martial arts, and she was humble and polite. Although she was sometimes impulsive, most of the time it was because of you …"
"Little Mo was also born in a side branch, and he was called a peerless genius. He …"
…
Lu Yin had learned about the Seven Heroes from Master Shan and the Four Way Scales. He was no stranger to the Seven Heroes, and he was just borrowing Lu Qi's words to reminisce about them.
"When the Seven Heroes became sworn brothers, it was the most perfect testimony of an era. Everyone was certain that the Seven Heroes would replace the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas as the strongest of an era. Tu Qiming's talent is extremely high, and outsiders think that he's incomparable, but he's still lacking compared to the Seven Heroes."
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. "Our talent?"
Lu Qi said, "You don't have to say anything. The God Sealing Catalog and the General Appointment Stage are the standard of our Lu Family direct descendants. They are invincible talents. The other seven heroes aren't bad either, although sometimes even we don't know what their talents are."
"Take your eldest sister for example. She loves money a lot, but she can always come up with some strange but powerful foreign objects. Even though our Lu Family consumes a lot of resources for cultivation, we don't use them like she does. She's a complete miser. Don't you know that …"
"What's your innate gift?" Lu Yin suddenly asked, his gaze fixed on Lu Qi.
Lu Qi said, "Xiao Qian didn't say. She was so secretive. Only the seven of you know about it. She didn't tell anyone."
"What about Second Brother?
Where are the others? "
Lu Yin suddenly had a guess, one that caused his heart to ache. He couldn't believe it, but he hoped that it wasn't the case.
Lu Qi was suspicious of Lu Yin's attitude, but he still said, "Your second brother is known for being peerless. Even you can't compare to him in terms of cultivation speed. Xing Xing is from the White Dragon Race, and her lifespan is longer than humans. When she first became sworn brothers with you, her lifespan was converted to a human's lifespan. Actually, she cultivated the longest, but she still can't compare to your second brother."
"No matter what your second brother cultivates, he is extremely fast. The deepest impression is that his seclusion time is too short. Every time he goes into seclusion, he will only come out after ten days or half a year at most. He is as impatient as me."
Lu Yin's breathing became hurried, and the pain in his heart grew stronger.
"Third Brother is Nong Ye from the Farmer's School. This kid has the ability to predict the future. There are many things that others don't know, but he knows. Back then, he was pestered by the Humble Class, who kept trying to invite him to join them. Mu Xie personally went to the Seed Garden a few times. Needless to say, this kid is definitely an expert at catching spies."
"Long Xing is known as the Starry Dragon, and she has an unchanging innate gift. Even now, no one knows what her ultimate innate gift is. It's very strange."
"Little Shitou from the Liu Family is known as the Midas Touch. Everyone knows that his innate gift is decomposition. He can decompose all kinds of substances, and even a Half-Ancestor can't. He can decompose. It's very strange, but it's also a very useful innate gift. It matches his name very well."
"Sixth Brother, Wan Lingdang, is known as the Starseizing Hand. We don't know why, but only you seven know."
Lu Yin stood up at Lu Qi's words. "I'll leave first."
"Little Xuan, you …?" Lu Qi wanted to ask something, but Lu Yin had already left. He could only see his back.
Lu Yin lowered his head on the Zhongping Sea, his entire body trembling.
With a splash, he suddenly jumped into the sea, wanting to use the ice-cold water to wash away something.
The die had six pips, and six innate gifts. They were his six siblings. It was them, it really was them.
How could this be?
How could their innate gifts all enter his body?
Even Ancestor Lu Yuan couldn't transfer their innate gifts, let alone them. This was a power that surpassed his understanding. How could the Seven Heroes do it?
Lu Yin couldn't bear the pain. His six siblings had died for him, and after their deaths, they had given their innate gifts to him. How could he repay this kindness?
How could he repay it?
Eldest Sister …
Second Brother …
Third Brother …
Fourth Sister …
Fifth Brother …
Sixth Sister …
How could he repay this kindness?
Lu Yin's eyes reddened; it had been too long since he had felt this way. Even when he had been suppressed by the Grand Empyreans, even when the Lu Family had returned, and even when he had reunited with his family, he had never felt this way.
The silent pain was suppressed in his heart. All those smiling faces were shouting, "Little Seven!" "We'll live and die together!" "Little Seven!" "Run!" "Little Seven!"
With a low roar, Lu Yin soared into the sky and charged out of the sea, causing the water to surge as he panted heavily.
He closed his eyes and allowed the seawater to wash over him. His lips trembled as he slowly exhaled.
It turned out that he had always been protected.
The Lu Family's seal had protected him, the die had protected him, and the pairs of eyes had never left him. He hadn't reached this point alone. He had never been alone.
Lu Yin looked up at the sky and laughed heartily.
Lu Xiaoxuan had his own carefreeness, and Lu Yin had his own life. Although time did not overlap, the feelings they had for each other had never diminished.
As the seawater poured into the sea, Lu Yin's eyes widened. He raised his hand, and the die slowly rotated. He wanted to reverse the river of time and rescue his siblings. He wanted to bring them back.
…
A year passed by quickly. During this time, Lu Yin quietly stayed in the Above the Sky Sect, occasionally looking at the die as he truly rested.
At most, he would occasionally absorb the Hui Crystals and fuse them with the tri-colored planet near his heart.
The Hui Crystals contained more than eight hundred billion cubic meters of the Luo Jun's power, and now, they belonged to him as well.
Lu Yin had originally wanted to use the crystal essences that Yi Xing had given him to fuse with most of the Progenitors of the Six Paths Association, but he was disappointed. It wasn't that easy.
The Book of Destiny hadn't been repaired.
He had to think of a way to obtain more resources.
His eldest sister, Lu Qian, was a money-grubber because her innate gift was the die's Enhance. This could no longer be described as a money-grubber.
"Path Master," Wei Rong's voice rang out.
Lu Yin looked at the lake. "Speak."
"I've already contacted them. Should we act now, or should we wait a little longer?"
"Let's wait. I just dealt with Ancestor Gui Yuan a year ago, and the Grand Empyreans and the others will be in seclusion for a long time. We can't be too hasty."
Wei Rong bowed. "Understood."
…
Another year passed, and Wei Rong arrived. "Path Master."
Lu Yin put away his fishing rod. "Let's go."
Reincarnation Space-Time, Stone Realm.
Jiu Zizai stood next to a pile of rocks, restlessly looking at the sky from time to time.
With a bang, a wine flask shattered. "Bring me some wine."
Jiu Zizai's heart trembled, and she hugged the wine flask as she walked towards Madman Lu.
Suddenly, the sky cracked open, and a powerful aura spread out before crashing down.
Madman Lu suddenly stood up, his eyes wide. "You're courting death."
As he spoke, a tyrannical aura swept out. No matter who it was, anyone who dared to barge into his territory was courting death.
In Madman Lu's mind, he had never considered what it meant to retreat.
However, the tyrannical aura that Madman Lu was so proud of was easily dispelled. A cold and austere voice descended. "Senior Madman, it's time to return."
Madman Lu looked at the sky, his pupils constricting. "Lu Tianyi?"
Not only Lu Tianyi, but Lu Yin, Mu Xie, and Leng Qing had also arrived.
Three Progenitors, plus Lu Yin, who was comparable to a Progenitor, were equivalent to four Progenitors descending upon the Stone Realm.
At that moment, within the Reincarnation Space-Time, Venerable Lotus suddenly looked over and took a step forward. "Not good."
At the same time, two other figures headed towards the Stone Realm. One was Yao Lan, one of the newly ascended Nine Sages, and the other was Chu Jian.
Chu Jian had comprehended the Great Reincarnation Path in the past year. Although he was not a Progenitor, he could borrow the Great Reincarnation Path to unleash even greater strength.
The auras of Progenitors spread out, breaking the peace of the Reincarnation Space-Time.
In the Stone Realm, Madman Lu laughed wildly. "Brat, I thought that you wouldn't dare to come. I've been waiting impatiently, hahaha."
Lu Yin looked at Madman Lu. "As a member of the Lu family, you rely on the protection of the Reincarnation Space-Time. You're really a disgrace to the Lu family."
Madman Lu sneered. "F * ck the Lu family. I'm the Lu family. Since you're back, just wait. I'll take Lu Tianyi away sooner or later. I'm the real master of the Lu family."
Lu Tianyi sighed. "It's been so many years, but you still haven't let it go. I really don't understand how you came to this point. With your state of mind, how did you break through the Progenitor Realm?"
Madman Lu disdainfully said, "What's so difficult about breaking through the Progenitor Realm? I just want to destroy the Lu family. That's enough. Hatred blinding the mind is just an excuse of those stupid and useless people. Brat Lu, are you planning to completely fall out with the Reincarnation Space-Time this time?"
Lu Tianyi did not speak.
Lu Yin did not speak either. They were waiting for Venerable Lotus and the others to arrive.
Madman Lu grabbed the wine jug and gulped down a mouthful of wine.
Soon, Venerable Lotus arrived and stared at Lu Yin and the others vigilantly. "Master Lu, you're too arrogant. Do you want to start a war with the Reincarnation Space-Time?"
Lu Yin looked at her. "If we start a war, can you afford it?"
