He raised his hand, and his die appeared. In Lu Tianjing, he didn't have to worry about anyone spying on him, and it had been a long time since he'd felt such a sense of security.
He tapped the die, and it slowly spun.
It hadn't been that long since he'd last gone into seclusion, so it wasn't easy to roll Enhance. However, Lu Yin wasn't in a rush, and he continued to roll the die while waiting for someone from the Hyperspace Dimension to arrive.
A month quickly passed, and Lu Yin finally rolled Enhance. He'd rolled it twelve times, and it hadn't been easy at all.
His consciousness entered the dark space, and he began his search.
If Nightbolt was a consciousness, then the sphere of light it represented might be different from the others, so Lu Yin could only try to find it this way.
He looked at the light spheres around him, but there wasn't anything special. He quickly left and continued his search, but there was still nothing special.
He continued to search, but he didn't know which domain he was looking for. Perhaps the consciousness was no longer in the Cosmic Tree Realm, but he still had to keep going …
He had never stayed in the dark space for so long in search of a consciousness, and he didn't know how much star essence he'd used up. He was a little apprehensive, mainly because it was too expensive.
Suddenly, he stared in a certain direction and felt as if he was being watched by something. How was this possible?
This should be a space of pure consciousness, but he felt as if he was being watched. Who could it be?
Lu Yin headed in that direction.
From what he knew, the Hui Ancestor was the only one who'd cultivated consciousness. No, the Hui Ancestor had cultivated thought, and consciousness was different from thought. There was a more accurate description: the person from the Thousand Faces Game. That person was the only one Lu Yin was absolutely certain had cultivated consciousness.
Back in the dark spacetime, the person from the Thousand Faces Game had tried to control him with his consciousness, but he'd managed to break free. Compared to how many times he'd merged his consciousness into this dark space, the person from the Thousand Faces Game couldn't control him at all.
Lu Yin didn't know if his consciousness was strong or weak, but he was certain that the person from the Thousand Faces Game was no match for him in terms of consciousness. However, he couldn't use the power of his consciousness in the real world either.
Lu Yin's consciousness rushed over, and he saw a very small sphere of light hiding behind another one. If he hadn't felt like he was being watched, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
He didn't care; he just rushed over and merged with it.
The small ball of light was unable to dodge, and it was viciously struck by Lu Yin's consciousness and fused into it.
At that moment, countless images flashed through his mind. Lu Yin opened his eyes, and all sorts of memories flooded into his mind. His expression changed, as he saw two memories. One belonged to the person he had merged with, but this person was just an Explorer who was considered weak in the Cosmic Tree Realm. This person had lived in a very ordinary region in the Middle Realm, and his entire life had been very ordinary. The other consciousness belonged to Ye Bo.
Lu Yin really did merge into Ye Bo's consciousness.
What surprised Lu Yin was that his consciousness could exist freely, and the only thing it needed to do was find a host. Regardless of whether it was a human or a creature, as long as it had a consciousness, it could merge with it, just like how Lu Yin had rolled Enhance.
The only difference was that Lu Yin had to consume resources, while Ye Bo consumed innate gifts.
Once upon a time, there was a person on the fifth continent by the name of Yebo. His innate talent was extraordinary, but his personality was extreme, and he believed himself to be invincible among his peers. After being provoked by others, he took the initiative to challenge the successors of the Frigid Immortal Sect, the Xia Clan, and even the Lu Clan. In the end, he suffered a crushing defeat. He believed that those people relied on the resources of their clans, and that their true strength was inferior to his.
As a result, he made a mistake and died.
His death was not a big deal, and no one cared. At most, it was treated as a joke.
However, no one knew that Yebo had an innate gift, and his consciousness used resentment and hatred as a medium. After his death, his consciousness devoured the person who had been inciting him, as well as many people he was familiar with. Along with his resentment towards the disciples of the major powers, his consciousness continued to merge into the bodies of others, harming them.
Yebo's innate gift was strange, and his consciousness could remain after merging into someone's body, continuing to influence that person. That person would not know that they were being influenced, and they would only subconsciously do as Yebo wished.
Thus, no matter how hard the Lu Clan and the Frigid Immortal Sect searched, they could not find Yebo, and they all believed that he was part of a team.
They killed many people who had been influenced by Yebo, but none of them were the real Yebo. Over time, Yebo became a spy for the Starry Sky Trees.
However, there would always be a time when one's talent would disappear. Even after Ye Bo died, his consciousness relied on the remnant resentment and hatred of his talent to gradually deplete. Without Ye Bo using his talent, it would not be able to grow stronger. It was just like how a Yuan Sage would use his talent to transfer all his essence, energy, and spirit to Chu Jian before he died.
Yebo's consciousness was on the verge of disappearing, and he could not do anything to harm humanity.
At most, he could influence a small dog to bite an ordinary person. That was all he could do.
These memories flashed by, and Yebo was no longer a threat. Suddenly, Lu Yin's eyes widened as he saw a familiar figure. Bai Xianer?
Lu Yin saw Bai Xianer in Yebo's memories. Was this the Food Paradise?
This was.
Lu Yin's eyes widened in disbelief as he tried to recall. Through Yebo's memories, he saw Bai Xianer lying in the wooden house that she and Lu Xiaoxuan had painstakingly built. She felt Lu Tianjing tremble, and an incomparably huge tail soared into the sky. That was the Ancestral Mang Flip.
Lu Yin heard Patriarch Lu Tianyi's roar and heard countless people calling out Patriarch Lu Yuan's name. He wanted to see, but these were only Yebo's memories. That day, Yebo had been in the Food Paradise. No, this was not Yebo, but a servant of the Lu family. Yebo's consciousness had unintentionally entered the servant's memories, leaving behind a remnant.
The earth trembled as Lu Tianjing's golden light flickered. Bai Xianer was like a sleeping beauty, quietly lying on the bed in the wooden house. A blurry figure overlapped with Bai Xianer's body and stood up. Lu Yin saw it. Was that Mister Wei?
Mister Wei walked out of the wooden house, looked up, and leaped up, transforming into a strange force that charged towards Lu Tianyi.
Lu Yin recalled what Lu Qi had said. So the unknown force that had been pestering Patriarch Tianyi that day was Mister Wei.
Yebo's memories were panicking, which meant that the servant was panicking.
Suddenly, another blurry figure overlapped with Bai Xianer's body and walked out. This woman was 70% similar to Bai Xianer, and she carried an insufferably arrogant and murderous aura. She transformed into a force that headed in a certain direction. It was a strange force that was similar to Mister Wei's. The servant looked over and saw the Seven Heroes.
"Little Seven, be careful!"
A shrill scream rang out. Through Yebo's memories, Lu Yin saw the force pierce through his eldest sister's body. Although she had lost her memories, Lu Yin knew that it was his eldest sister, the eldest sister of the Lu family, Lu Qian.
The force from Bai Xianer's body pierced through Lu Qian's body and continued towards Lu Yin.
Nong Ye pushed Wan Lingdang aside, and the force tore through his body as well. Long Xing leaped out.
Even with his innate gift, he couldn't stop the force at all, and his body was pierced through.
The next one was his fifth brother, Liu Shi.
Through Yebo's memories, Lu Yin could clearly see how helpless he was as Lu Xiaoxuan. He wanted to charge forward to fight, but Wan Lingdang pushed him aside. "Little Seven, run!"
"Little Seven, run!"
"Go, Little Seven!"
"Little Seven!"
Cries after cries of death caused Lu Xiaoxuan to collapse. Lu Yin, who was watching these memories, also thought of many things. He thought of how his eldest sister and the others had doted on him, how they had become sworn brothers, and all sorts of things that had happened with the Seven Heroes.
They were all dead. At this moment, they were all dead.
The force ruthlessly rushed towards Lu Xiaoxuan, and just as it was about to pierce through his body, a platform suddenly appeared. The force collided with the platform, shattering it and knocking Lu Xiaoxuan unconscious.
Lu Qi's roar came from afar, and the force changed direction towards him.
Yebo's memories didn't follow the force, but instead focused on the scene where the Seven Heroes had been killed.
He saw his eldest sister, covered in blood, crawling towards Lu Xiaoxuan. The others struggled to say something, but she crawled to the unconscious Lu Yin's side and took out a die from his cosmic ring. She smiled happily and said something, then smeared her own blood on the die and passed it to Lu Mo, Long Xing, Liu Shi, Nong Ye, and Wan Lingdang.
When Wan Lingdang smeared her blood all over the die, it floated up and emitted a faint light. Points appeared on each side of the die, and it finally turned into a ray of light that rushed into Lu Xiaoxuan's body.
Lu Qian watched the die disappear into Lu Xiaoxuan's body, then closed her eyes and slowly collapsed.
Yebo's memories ended there, as his servant had died and been shattered by the shockwaves of the battle.
Lu Yin's consciousness suddenly withdrew, passing through the dark space and returning to his own body.
He slowly opened his eyes, which were red. He had clearly seen what had happened that day.
The Seven Heroes had all died to save him, and now he remembered.
The die wasn't his innate gift, but it could also be considered his innate gift.
The die had come from the day he had created the Overturning Sky Palm.
His memories hadn't recovered, but rather, they had been brought back to him by certain events.
That day, Lu Xiaoxuan had created the Overturning Sky Palm, which had drawn out Patriarch Lu Yuan. Not long after that, the die had also been drawn out. For some reason, the die had followed Lu Xiaoxuan wherever he went. It could be placed in a cosmic ring or carried on his body, but it couldn't stray too far from him. If he strayed too far away, the die would automatically come over.
Lu Xiaoxuan didn't keep any secrets from the Seven Heroes, so he told them about it.
After countless experiments, they were surprised to find that their innate gifts could be fixed through the die. Through the die, Lu Xiaoxuan could use each of their innate gifts. This was also the reason why the die had six points. Before they died, they had given everything they had to Lu Xiaoxuan, allowing him to succeed.
They didn't know if Lu Xiaoxuan would die, but even if there was only a sliver of hope, they would still do it.
Bai Xianer, it was Bai Xianer. Who had walked out of her body?
Lu Yin walked out of Lu Tianjing and headed towards Yi Xian Academy. The power that had been pestering Forefather Tianyi had been Mister Wei.
Lu Yin was afraid that Mister Wei could pester Forefather Tianyi, so he had notified Forefather Tianyi.
