In the distance, Yōu Ye'er, Ce Jiu, and the others were all gathered here. This was where the Seven Courts had gathered.
Even further away, two figures, one black and one white, were running happily. They were Eversky Island's Blackie and Xiao Bai. Behind them were Highsage Shen Wei and Sheng Wudi.
In another corner of the plaza, Wen Sansi had returned from the Hexagon Training Hall. He was also going to participate in this war. Xing Kai, Ling Gong, Jiu Hao, and the former Ten Arbiters had all arrived.
They did not want to give up on this war.
This was going to be a grand war, and they would be able to see an extraordinary battlefield.
Time continued to pass, and in the blink of an eye, the hundred days were about to arrive.
The various armies in the Genesis Space had finished gathering. The Lu Xuan Army, the Celestial Army, the Astral Beast Army, and equipment from the back garden continued to appear. From time to time, powerful Progenitors' auras would sweep past and enter the Ascendant Sect.
At the bottom of the stairway, He Ran looked down in shock.
She saw a shocking scene that she had never imagined before. There were countless excited cultivators, powerhouses after powerhouses, and even Half-Progenitors. If she did not know that this was the Ascendant Sect, she would have thought that the entire Hexagon Association had gathered here.
Lu Yin did not appear for the next hundred days.
On the last few days of the hundred days, the Ascendant Sect gathered a terrifying number of cultivator armies. Many figures stood on the stairway, quietly waiting for something.
From top to bottom, there were Progenitors, Half-Progenitors, Envoys, and so on.
Standing at the front of the stairway were Lu Tianyi and the Netherworld Ancestor. Below them were Mu Carving, Xu Wuwei, Mu Xie, Elder Chan, Shaochen, and so on. All of the Progenitors retracted their auras as they waited for the last day of the hundred days to arrive.
A bell rang.
On the stairway, Lu Yin walked out of the void in front of the Progenitor statue.
Everyone faced Lu Yin and bowed. "Greetings, Path Master."
"Greetings, Path Master."
"Greetings, Path Master."
…
A majestic voice resounded throughout the entire Genesis Space, causing the void to swirl and form visible waves.
On planet after planet, countless people watched with excitement as they paid their respects to Lu Yin.
At this moment, even Lu Tianyi and Lu Qi had to bow to Lu Yin. They were not bowing to Lu Yin, but to the Path Master. They were bowing to the person who could command the Genesis Space.
Lu Yin stood at the highest point and looked down.
No one looked up at him, but he could see them all.
"Everyone, at ease," Lu Yin.
"Thank you, Path Master.
…
Everyone stood up and looked up at the highest point, where they saw Lu Yin standing there. At this moment, even He Ran was stunned. Lu Yin was glowing, and it was as if he controlled the entire human race.
"Someone told me that the crusade shouldn't have started," Lu Yin said as he looked at everyone.
His words shocked many people.
Xu Wuwei's expression changed, and he looked at Lu Yin. What did he want to say?
Everyone fell silent as they looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's expression was indifferent. "Some say that humans can't compare to the Eternals. The Eternals are unfathomable, and once war breaks out, humans will suffer heavy casualties."
"Some say that the situation in the Endless Battlefield has slowed down. We shouldn't take the initiative to start a war against the Eternals."
"Some people said that I was eager for quick success and wanted to seek fame and fortune. That's why I decided to start a crusade."
"There are also people who say that this battle will be the beginning of the decline of mankind."
"So many people are advising me to give up on the crusade. They have a point. The Endless Battlefield will always be dominated by the Eternals. If the Eternals want to fight, then we will fight. If the Eternals don't want to fight, then the war can be delayed."
"The Eternals control the border battlefield of the Six-Way Association. If the Eternals don't attack, then the border is peaceful. If the Eternals do attack, then the border will fight to the death."
"At the Grand Celestial Tea Party, the Eternals invaded. Before this, no one thought that the Eternals would invade the tea party because no one thought that humans would go so deep into the Eternals' territory. But they did, and they messed up humanity's greatest event."
"It's very interesting, isn't it?
The Eternals are the ones leading the war. Everything you hear, see, and think about, the Eternals control everything. So, should we fight?
Should we start this crusade? "
No one spoke. Everyone was silent.
"I don't think so," Lu Yin said loudly.
Everyone looked at him blankly. Shouldn't they?
Then what was the point of them gathering here?
"Why fight when you know it's useless?"
"It's just a crusade. Can it destroy the Eternals?
Impossible. "
"Can it change the human race's disadvantage against the Eternals?
Also impossible. "
"This crusade might cause many of you to die. I'm afraid of death, and everyone is afraid of death. Since that's the case, why fight? Let's wait. When the Eternals want to fight, we'll fight. When the Eternals stop, we can rest and recuperate. If the Eternals want to fight, then we'll fight. If the Eternals don't want to fight, then we won't fight.
What do you think? "Lu Yin's voice grew louder and louder until it reverberated in everyone's ears.
His words made everyone sullen. If the Eternals wanted to fight, then they could fight. If they didn't want to fight, then they couldn't fight. How sullen was that?
"Is that a crusade?
No, it's a fight to the death, "Lu Yin roared and pointed at one person," You might die the moment you step onto the battlefield. "He then pointed at another person," You might die in the next second. "
"You, you, you, you'll all die. If you know you'll die, then why fight?"
Suddenly, huge screens of light appeared in the sky, blotting out the sun. In the starry sky of the universe, countless screens of light appeared in the Above Heaven Sect, and countless scenes appeared.
Within the screens, under the dark sky, tens of thousands of cultivators charged forward, but they were easily wiped out by the Corpse Kings.
In another screen, on a mountain peak, an old man wept blood. Below him, a young man roared, "Father, let's be father again in the next life."
"See you in the next life."
"Father, I want to be your father in the next life and help you stand at the front."
"Hahahaha, good."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mountain peak shattered, and pairs of scarlet eyes replaced everything.
In another screen, a planet cracked open, and dozens of people huddled together. "It was worth it. We lured most of the Corpse Kings here. The rest aren't a match for Senior Zhang and the others. They'll definitely win. It was worth it, hahahaha."
…
"Daughter, take good care of your mother."
…
"Lin 'er, do you regret it?"
"Why should I?
It's enough that I met you in this life. "
"I, Hidden Sword, have slaughtered the Eternals all my life. What I regret the most is dying on the battlefield. What I regret the most is meeting you."
"Apart from Lin 'er, the luckiest thing that happened to me was meeting Brother Hidden Sword. We've gone through life and death together."
…
"Brothers, it's over today. The Eternals didn't kill us because they wanted to transform us into Corpse Kings. Can you agree?"
"No."
"Then what should we do?"
"Not even our corpses remain."
"Not even our corpses remain."
…
Screen after screen, people died one after another. Impassioned words of death resounded in the Above Heaven Sect and the Primordial Space.
Everyone stared blankly at these scenes as corpses fell one after another. Some of them didn't even have corpses. What they saw was the Corpse Kings' cold gazes and bloody killing methods.
Those who died had parents, wives, and children, but they had died in such a spectacular manner. They had fought for humanity. They had been born as humans, and they had died as war spirits. These people's roars and maniacal laughter shocked everyone.
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. "Look at them. They died so miserably. If the war starts, you will die as well."
"We're not afraid of death," someone shouted, his face flushed red.
"Daolord, we're not afraid of death."
"Even if we die, we have no regrets."
"We'll fight for humanity and die for humanity. Daolord, please grant us our wish."
"Master Lu, we're willing to die."
"Master Lu, please start the crusade."
"Master Lu, please start the crusade. Let's fight to the death with the Eternals."
"Who cares about the outcome of the war? Go to hell. We'll suffer heavy casualties. I don't believe that the Eternals have three heads and six arms."
"Even if we die, we'll bite off a chunk of their flesh."
"Fight."
"Fight."
"Fight."
"Fight."
…
Countless people shouted "Fight!" as they stared at Lu Yin with fervent gazes. Countless people's determination to face death on the screen completely erupted at this moment, forming an indescribable will. Even Lu Yin was shocked by this will. "We may not win the crusade."
"We don't want to win. We only want to fight the Eternals," countless people shouted.
Lu Yin raised his head. "We'll suffer heavy casualties."
"Then let's fight to the death."
"Won't you regret it if you wait?"
"We'll die without regrets."
Countless people roared, their voices piercing through the starry sky. At the bottom of the sky stairwell, He Ran was shocked by this will to fight to the death. Her face turned pale.
Lu Yin's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Fine, then let's fight to the death. Regardless of victory or defeat, regardless of life or death, I, Lu Yin, will lead the humans to the Endless Battlefield and fight the Eternals to the death."
The appointment platform appeared, and the God Investiture Catalog bloomed with golden light, illuminating the entire Fifth Mainland.
Lu Yin bathed in the golden light and looked down at the Above Heaven Sect. "I, Lu Yin, as the Dao Master of the Above Heaven Sect and the Master of the Primordial Space, officially announce the start of the crusade in the Endless Battlefield. I'll appoint the Netherworld Progenitor."
Big Sister walked out and looked up at Lu Yin. "Here."
Lu Yin looked down at her. "I appoint you as the First Legion Commander of the crusade. Elder Chan, Xia Shenji, Liu Yun, and Dan Pu will assist you."
Big Sister's mouth twitched. She didn't like this title. She was clearly an extremely powerful Progenitor, but it was made to sound like something. This had never happened even in the Above Heaven Sect. Back then, Gu Yizhi had treated her as a distinguished guest. How could he give her orders?
There was nothing she could do... "Netherworld, listen."
"Pick the general – wood carving."
"Here."
"I appoint you as the Second Legion Commander of the crusade. Mu Xie, Wang Jian, Chen Le, and Gan will assist you."
"Woodcutter, listen."
"Pick the five flavors of the void."
"Here."
"I appoint you as the Third Legion Commander of the crusade. Shaochen, Xu Heng, Xu Leng, and Bai Sheng will assist you."
"Xu Wuwei, listen."
"Lu Tianyi."
"Here."
"I appoint you to guard the Primordial Space and guard against the Eternals' sneak attack. Lu Qi, Mountain, Starlord, and Ancestor Turtle will assist you."
"Lu Tianyi, listen."
"I, Lu Yin, will be the Chief Legion Commander of the crusade. I will also be the Fourth Legion Commander. Dan Zheng, Leng Qing, Xia Zhen, and Caged Flood Dragon will assist me."
"From now on, the crusade in the Endless Battlefield begins. The Four Legions, set out."
