Soon, Lu Yin followed Yu Huo's instructions and headed in a certain direction.
Along the way, he saw many Corpse Kings walking on the black land. Sometimes there were more, sometimes there were fewer, sometimes there were only two or three, but when there were more, there was no end to them.
It wasn't just on the ground. Looking up, the stars rotated. From time to time, countless Corpse Kings would walk out of the stars and head towards the nearest Star Gate. There were also Corpse Kings that walked out of the Star Gate and headed towards the nearest Star Gate.
Lu Yin also saw at least tens of millions of human cultivators walking numbly on the ground. These people were all being transformed into Corpse Kings.
If each Astral Door represented a parallel universe, then Lu Yin finally understood why the Eternals had so many Corpse Kings.
He also understood why some people said that the Eternals had more parallel universes than the Hexagon Association.
This was not just more than that; there was simply no comparison.
This land was very monotonous and truly boundless. Even with Lu Yin's current cultivation, he could not see the end of it. To be able to support such a huge Mother Tree, this land could not be smaller than the Astral Tree.
"Are there only Corpse Kings here?" Lu Yin was curious.
Yu Huo replied, "Of course not. There are many Eternal Kingdoms in the Zone of E, but you're already in the inner part of the Zone. Because I'm the captain of the True God Guard, the Astral Door I have corresponds to the inner part. There are many Eternal Kingdoms in the outer part, and many strange races live there. Of course, most of them are humans."
"Humans will be transformed into Corpse Kings here, right?"
"Not all. Many humans don't even know that they live in the Zone of E. They're just like you."
Lu Yin wanted to ask more, but Yu Huo raised his fin and pointed at a tower in front of them. "Look, only Progenitors are qualified to have a tower. It represents status. The Progenitors I'm talking about do not include the Corpse Kings of the True God Guard who only have the physical strength of a Progenitor. I'm talking about true Progenitors."
Lu Yin looked at the tower in the distance. It was not very tall, but it seemed very out of place in this land. Just as Yu Huo said, it represented status.
"Every tower represents an Ancestor-level expert. When an expert dies, the tower will be destroyed. Until a new Ancestor-level expert arrives, the clan will build another tower for them. So, the number of towers you see on this land represents the number of Ancestor-level experts in the clan," Yu Huo explained simply.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed as he looked into the distance. One tower, two towers, three towers … eight towers, nine towers. Some of them were far away, while others were very close to each other.
Impossible. At a glance, there were no less than ten towers, and this was only in this direction. It should be the same in other directions.
How could the Eternals have so many progenitors?
If there really was one, how did Liu Fang manage to hold on until now?
"At the very front, which is the direction closest to the Mother Tree that we can reach, is the tallest tower. That tower represents the Seven Heavenly Gods. The Seven Heavenly Gods are formed by seven towers that surround the Mother Tree. They are the closest to the Mother Tree and the closest to the True Gods. Our True God Guard Captain's tower is some distance away from the Seven Heavenly Gods."
"However, it's not too far away. Let's go. We'll be there soon."
Lu Yin remained silent, as it wasn't the right time to ask. He would be here for a long time, and there would be plenty of time for him to understand the situation.
The Six Paths Guild knew too little about the Everlasting Race. It was no wonder that Jiang Qingyue had said that no one knew the true strength of the Everlasting Race. No matter what kind of power the humans used, the Everlasting Race would be able to withstand it. No one would want to face a colossus whose true strength was unknown.
The vast red lake of divine power was only dimly lit, but it illuminated
In the starry sky.
Lu Yin arrived with Yu Huo.
"Beyond this lake is my tower. How is it? The scenery is not bad, right? In this land, the scenery here is already considered good."
Yu Huo wanted to slap his tail, only to find that his tail was gone. He was infuriated. "I'll kill Lu Qi one day."
Lu Yin suddenly stopped when he saw someone standing beside the lake. It was a tall woman wearing a long white dress, which was especially eye-catching on this black land.
This was the third color that Lu Yin had seen on this land.
The white-clothed woman stood quietly beside the divine power lake. No one knew what she was doing.
"Who is she?"
Yu Huo looked over in surprise. "Ancestor?"
Ancestor?
Lu Yin almost thought that it was Xiwei.
"Hurry, hurry over. She's the Ancestor of the Past and can be considered the Great Manager of this Calamity Region."
Lu Yin brought Yu Huo closer to the divine power lake.
The woman turned around, revealing a face that was not particularly stunning. It looked ordinary, but it was very comforting. "Yu Huo, you're back."
Yu Huo was still in his fish form, and he was obviously afraid of the woman. "Yu Huo has failed. Please punish me, Ancestor."
The woman smiled faintly. "I'm not a True God, so I don't have the right to punish you. It's good that you're back." Then, she looked at Lu Yin. "This is?"
Yu Huo introduced, "He's called Ye Bo. Have you heard of him?"
The woman was surprised. "Ye Bo?
The one who's as famous as Cheng Kong? "
Lu Yin looked at her. "I'm Ye Bo."
"Ancestor, it's because of Ye Bo that I was able to come back alive. Not only that, he was able to absorb divine power the first time he came into contact with it. He even had the ability to temporarily block Lu Tianyi …" Yu Huo said. He had promised to make Lu Yin one of the captains of the True God Guards, so he was praising him.
The woman sighed. "I see. Then, thank you, Ye Bo."
Lu Yin nodded coldly, not saying anything.
"It's a pity that Cheng Kong is dead. He was a good talent," the woman said regretfully.
Yu Huo also felt sorry. "Yes, if Cheng Kong had cooperated with me, things might not have ended up like this. I originally planned to have the White Dragon Tribe help me find the Hundred Thousand Water Paths and destroy the Mortal Realm. I didn't expect the White Dragon Tribe to be so stupid as to refuse. They don't deserve our bloodline, so it's better to destroy them."
The woman was obviously not interested in this matter, and her gaze landed on Lu Yin. "Cheng Kong is dead, but Mr. Ye Bo can replace him."
Yu Huo hurriedly said, "Ancestor, Ye Bo wants to be a captain of the True God Guards."
The Ancestor smiled. "A captain of the True God Guards?
Not bad. It's time for the captains to gather. The pressure on the Endless Battlefield is great, and our tribe's strategy needs to be adjusted. "
Yu Huo was excited. "That's great! I've been annoyed with those humans from the Six Direction Society for a long time. They really think they can suppress our tribe. What a joke, they're not even facing our true strength."
Not long after, Lu Yin left the lake with Yu Huo. The Ancestor was still standing by the lake alone, deep in thought.
Lu Yin arrived at Yu Huo's tower, which was obviously taller than the previous tower. It represented Yu Huo's status as a captain of the True God Guards.
Eight Progenitor Realm Corpse Kings stood outside the tower, and Lu Yin raised his eyebrows.
"Ye Bo, it's been hard on you. I need to go into seclusion to recover my cultivation. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the captains to gather.
You can walk around as long as you don't go near the Mother Tree and don't go near the Seven Gods Sky Tower, "Yu Huo instructed before sealing the tower and going into seclusion.
Lu Yin sized up the eight Progenitor Realm Corpse Kings around the tower. He wanted to know how the Eternals had formed the True God Guards. Even if they only had Progenitor Realm bodies, their strength was still unimaginable. Any one of these Progenitor Realm Corpse Kings could easily suppress the Fifth Mainland before the war with the Sixth Mainland.
At that time, the Fifth Mainland did not even have a single Progenitor Realm powerhouse.
For the rest of the time, Lu Yin wandered around the tower. He did not go near the Seven Gods Sky Tower, but neither did he go far. He did not show any curiosity.
He did not know if he was being watched or not.
Perhaps this would make the Eternals feel more at ease.
They trusted divine power the most. In that case, he could try to cultivate divine power.
As he thought about it, Lu Yin came to the side of the divine power river. This branch of the river was not very large, only a meter wide. Rather than calling it a river, it was more like a small canal.
Lu Yin sat down cross-legged and stared at the divine power canal in front of him. He slowly reached out.
The moment his finger touched the divine power river, he felt a vast and endless power. Even if it was just a little bit, it still gave him the illusion that he was facing the only True God. He could not resist or defeat him, and he could only submit. This was the feeling that divine power gave Lu Yin.
He tried to absorb the divine power, and it went very smoothly. The divine power turned into a red light that entered his body and flowed towards the starry sky where his heart was, converging towards the red dot.
Lu Yin absorbed the divine power for several hours, and he watched as the red dot grew larger and larger. Although it was still countless times smaller than the surrounding stars, it was much more divine power than before.
Lu Yin did not want to show off too much, so he retracted his hand and exhaled.
He raised his head and looked at the black mother tree in the distance. He could absorb even more divine power until it was as big as the star that the withered tree had transformed into, or even bigger.
However, he did not know if he would be affected by it at that time.
No matter how he tried to convince himself, Lu Yin could not forget what he had seen in the Book of Destiny. In the future, he would kill everyone close to him. Would he be affected by the divine power?
Would what he was experiencing now be a part of his future?
Humans had always been wary of divine power since ancient times. Divine power was one of the rare powers that could be judged based on good or bad. Would he be an exception?
Lu Yin was not confident.
He looked at the divine power river in a daze.
"You are cultivating well. Why don't you continue?" A gentle voice came from behind. It was Ancestor Xi.
Lu Yin did not turn back and continued to look at the divine power. "I can't take it anymore."
Ancestor Xi stood not far behind Lu Yin, and her long skirt fluttered in the wind. "Do me a favor."
Lu Yin stood up and looked at Ancestor Xi in confusion. "Me?"
Ancestor Xi smiled. "Yes."
"Recently, the Six Direction Guild has been in the Endless Battlefield, causing many experts to die. There are some situations that we can't handle."
"What is it?"
Lu Yin asked and did not reject. If he did, his days here would not be easy. This woman could make Yu Huo so wary and even mention punishment. This meant that her status in the E Region was extremely high.
The Head Housekeeper?
Ancestor Xi moved her finger, and the divine power river flowed. It then turned into a rainbow that shot towards the starry sky and entered a stargate. "Enter that space-time and help us destroy that space-time."
