"What are you?" A hoarse voice sounded in Yu Huo's ears.
Yu Huo turned around and looked behind him. There was a blurry figure there that he could not see clearly.
"A fish, an intelligent fish. Could you be the one the Lu family is looking for?" The hoarse voice sounded.
Yu Huo stared at the figure and shrieked, "Are you Ye Bo?"
As the figure approached, Yu Huo retreated warily.
"What are you?" The hoarse voice continued. It was Lu Yin.
When he'd landed on Lu Qi's island, he'd had an uncomfortable feeling. It was as if there was something there that disgusted him. Or rather, it was a rejection from the Origin Space. He'd been talking to Lu Qi while searching, and then he'd found the fish.
He seemed to be chatting with Lu Qi about the White Dragon Tribe, but he was actually staring at the fish. He noticed that when the White Dragon Tribe was mentioned, the fish's eyes were filled with obvious mockery and anger. Lu Yin found this strange, but he also had a guess. Although it was absurd, he suspected that Lu Qi had accidentally hooked Yu Huo up.
Yu Huo had been severely injured by Forefather Tianyi's finger, so he could only maintain his fish form. There were few peaceful places in the Central Calm Ocean, and if there were any, it would definitely be around Lu Qi's island. No one dared to disturb Lu Qi, so it wasn't strange that Yu Huo would come here.
If that was really the case, then Lu Yin wasn't in a hurry to attack. Instead, he'd thought of something, which led to this scene. He wanted to use Ye Bo's identity to learn about the Everlasting Race from Yu Huo.
Yu Huo stared at the blurry figure warily. "Are you Ye Bo?"
"Not answering?
Then I'll kill you. "Lu Yin's hoarse voice was filled with killing intent.
Yu Huo was shocked. "Wait, we're not enemies."
"You're not human, and neither am I. How can we be enemies?"
"I'm from the Everlasting Race."
The killing intent faded, and Lu Yin's lips curled up. His voice grew hoarse. "The Everlasting Race?"
Yu Huo relaxed when Ye Bo stopped attacking. "You should know that I'm from the Everlasting Race. I'm the fish that the Lu family is looking for."
"A fish saying that you're from the Everlasting Race?" Lu Yin clearly didn't believe him.
Yu Huo grew anxious. "I'm Yu Huo, one of the captains of the Everlasting Race's True God Guard. You know Cheng Kong? He's from the Everlasting Race."
"Cheng Kong?
I think we've met before. Are you really an Eternals? "
"I'm from the Eternals. We're not enemies. No, we're not enemies."
"So that's how it is. Boring, I'm leaving." Lu Yin pretended to leave.
"Wait." Yu Huo was anxious.
Lu Yin stopped.
"What are you trying to do?"
"It has nothing to do with you."
"You want to deal with the people of this space-time?"
"I said, it has nothing to do with you."
"I can help you."
Lu Yin pretended to be confused. "I'm not joining the Eternals."
Yu Huo found it strange. "Why? The Eternals can help you deal with the people in this space and time. You can't even deal with the Lu family on your own."
Lu Yin pretended to hesitate.
"After so many years, you should know very well how powerful the Lu family is. There's also the Above Heaven Sect in this space-time. With so many Progenitor realm experts, it's impossible for you to deal with them," Yu Huo advised.
"Didn't you guys fail as well?
Although I didn't do anything during this period of time, I clearly saw that all of you were knocked out of this space-time. You, the so-called captain of the True God Guard, must have a high status, but you were almost roasted.
Cooperate with you?
Ridiculous. "
Yu Huo clenched his teeth. "You don't understand the Eternals at all. This space-time is just one of the many that the Eternals have to deal with. We have the Seven Skygods, the True God Guard, and all kinds of Progenitors. Once we descend, this space-time won't be able to last long."
"I don't believe you," Lu Yin said.
Yu Huo cursed Cheng Kong inwardly. He didn't know what he said, but it didn't attract Ye Bo's attention at all. "How about this? You and I find a place to stay first, and I'll tell you about the Eternals' situation. Since your sneak attack failed, you won't be able to do anything for a while. There's nothing to lose by knowing more about the Eternals. Even if you don't join us, you can be considered half an ally like before."
Lu Yin pretended to think about it. "Okay."
Not long after, Lu Yin brought Yu Huo to a secret place. "No one will find us here."
Yu Huo was relieved. He had been played by the White Dragon Clan and had been unlucky until now.
"I won't join the Eternals," Lu Yin said again.
Yu Huo said, "Sure, but you must first understand the Eternals' situation so that it'll be easier for us to deal with the people in this space-time.
"Speak."
Yu Huo pondered for a moment and then began to introduce the Eternals.
Lu Yin knew most of what he said. It was nothing more than an exaggeration of the number of True God Guards, the strength of the Seven Skygods, how many parallel space-times the Eternals occupied, how many Corpse Kings they had, and how much of an advantage they had over the Six-Party Alliance.
Lu Yin wasn't moved at all. Of course, he had to pretend that this was the first time he knew about it.
He was a little surprised, but he didn't really care.
For several days, Yu Huo tried to entice Ye Bo to join the Eternals, but Ye Bo didn't say anything. Not only that, he couldn't even see his appearance.
"Are you done? I'll take my leave then. We can work together." Lu Yin pretended to leave.
Just then, a Progenitor's aura descended from the sky and swept across the area.
Yu Huo was shocked. "Didn't you say that no one has found this place?"
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Logically speaking, no one should have found this place, but it's hard to say. Someone might have just happened to come here. There are so many Progenitors in the Above Heaven Sect right now, and some of them are just idlers."
Yu Huo panicked. "Don't go! I won't be safe if you go."
"I don't have the obligation to protect you."
"Wait, how about waiting a moment?
I'll leave after the person who's going to pick me up arrives. "
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. "A spy from the Eternals?"
Yu Huo said, "Yes, just wait a little longer."
Lu Yin refused. "Even if your spy is a Progenitor, it'll be difficult for him to come here."
"It's only a matter of time before he comes. The Above Heaven Sect can't keep an eye on this place. Ye Bo, since you're interested in working with the Eternals, help me this time. I promise that I'll lead my True God Guards to help you when I return. Ten Progenitor Corpse Kings plus me will be enough to help you."
Lu Yin seemed to be tempted, but he didn't say anything.
Yu Huo rolled his eyes. "I'll tell you a secret, but don't spread it. This secret is enough to tempt you to join the Eternals."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "Tell me."
Yu Huo was about to say it, but he hesitated. Lu Yin even saw fear in his eyes.
If a True God Guard captain didn't dare to say it, this secret was absolutely shocking.
And this was perhaps Lu Yin's greatest gain from pretending to be Ye Bo. Of course, the spy who would pick him up was also a gain.
After a moment of silence, Yu Huo gritted his teeth. "Promise me one thing.
You've been in contact with Cheng Kong. If someone else learns of this secret from you, then Cheng Kong will be the one to tell you. "
"It doesn't matter."
Lu Yin replied, staring at Yu Huo. It seemed that this secret was quite exaggerated, and they needed a True God Guard captain to take the blame.
Yu Huo exhaled. "The Eternals have a terrifying weapon called the Bone Boat."
Lu Yin's pupils shrank. The Bone Boat?
During the crusade against the Endless Battlefield, Sovereign Shaoyin, Mutant, and other powerhouses had attacked the Third Legion. Mutant had betrayed them and wanted to join the humans again, but he had been burned by the Divine Fire. The One True God's punishment had made him suffer a fate worse than death, and the way he had sped up his death was by lifting the Bone Boat.
After the crusade, his father and the others had told him about this, leaving him with a deep impression of the Bone Boat.
The Divine Fire had deliberately burned Mutant slowly, letting him experience the pain of betrayal. Mutant had indeed suffered a fate worse than death. He had been so afraid of death, but in the end, he had begged for an early death. The fact that the Bone Boat had sped up his death meant that this was a great secret of the Eternals.
Lu Yin had always wanted to investigate the Bone Boat, but he hadn't found any clues.
He hadn't expected Yu Huo to give him a pleasant surprise.
"What Bone Boat?" Lu Yin suppressed the excitement in his heart and pretended to be calm.
Yu Huo stared at the blurry shadow in front of him. "The humans have a flag. On the battlefield, as long as the flag doesn't fall, the will to fight will not fall. The Eternals also have a flag, which is this Bone Boat. Unlike the humans, once this flag appears, it means the end."
"This is not a flag of war, but a flag of destruction. Now, the race has come to a consensus that when the True God brings the Seven Skygods out of seclusion, they will descend upon the Bone Boat and completely destroy the Six Directions Society, including this Genesis Space."
"So, what is this Bone Boat?
A weapon? "Lu Yin asked in a low voice, his voice growing hoarse.
Yu Huo shook his head. "This is a taboo topic. I can only tell you about the existence of the Bone Boat and the Eternals' strength to destroy the Six Directions Society. However, I cannot say anything about the Bone Boat, or I will die."
Lu Yin was dissatisfied. "You didn't tell me anything. What Bone Boat? What flag? Nothing but what it means. How can I trust you?"
Yu Huo said, "I swear that the Bone Boat can definitely destroy the entire Six Directions Society. If you want to truly understand the Bone Boat, join the Eternals. I can give you an exception. If you can confirm that the Bone Boat still can't destroy the Six Directions Society after you understand it, I will let you leave. Our relationship will be the same as it is now: cooperation."
"Can I come back after joining the Eternals?"
"You won't want to come back. The Bone Boat's existence is enough to make you very certain that it can destroy the Six Directions Society." Yu Huo was full of confidence.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. The Bone Boat?
The Otherman had said it before his death, and now Yu Huo had said it as well. Since it was a taboo topic among the Eternals, its significance must be extraordinary. How could he find out?
"How about it? Come back with me to the Eternals. You won't regret it." Yu Huo tempted.
Lu Yin said in a hoarse voice, "Ye Bo is not alone. You should know that."
"I know," Yu Huo replied.
This wasn't a secret. The Astral Tree and the Eternals knew about it, but they still didn't know what kind of existence Ye Bo was. A team?
Or a doppelganger?
"I will go with you to the Eternals, but if I find out that the so-called Bone Boat can't destroy the Six Directions Society, I can give up this body at any time."
Yu Huo was shocked. Was it really a doppelganger?
"No problem."
His goal was to return safely to the Eternals. As for the secret of the Bone Boat, it was uncertain whether he would tell Ye Bo about it. Even as the captain of the True God Guards, he didn't dare to reveal it casually.
He could only ask the Eternals for instructions.
