The few of them chatted for several hours, and Lu Yin was very curious about the outerverse. The Six Direction Society only knew about the outerverse powerhouses, and they were all in seclusion. Thus, no one had told Lu Yin anything in detail.
Lu Yin had asked Jiang Chen and the others before, but they didn't know much either.
Now that he had met the Ice Master, he naturally had to ask.
Through the Ice Master, Lu Yin learned a lot about the outer realms. The outer realms didn't refer to regions, but rather to existences that didn't belong to any power. For example, to the Six Direction Society, the Five Spirit Races and White Cloud City were outer realms, but to the Five Spirit Races, the Six Direction Society was the outer realms.
There weren't many outer realms, but there weren't many either. The main reason was that there were too many parallel universes, and terrifying creatures could appear at any time.
The Ice Master was most familiar with the Five Spirit Races, the Eternals, and the Tri-Moon Alliance. She didn't have much contact with the rest of the outer realms.
Lu Yin understood that almost all of the outer realms on the Five Spirit Races' side were connected to the Lightning Master. They were either friends or enemies. Only now did he understand why the Eternals had treated Jiang Qingyue so specially on the Sixth Mainland. Even if they could kill her, they wouldn't have killed her. The outer realms she was involved with were very powerful, and even the Grand Empyreans treated her well. Otherwise, the Lightning Master alone wouldn't have been able to make the Eternals so wary.
The Ice Master was also very curious about the Six Direction Society. Jiang Qingyue hadn't told her much, and the Lightning Master didn't have time to chat with her.
Lu Yin told the Ice Master many things about the Six Direction Society and the Primordial Space. They were exchanging information about civilizations.
There were too many parallel universes in the universe, and there were too many civilizations. The Eternals were humanity's greatest enemy, but they weren't the enemy of the other races. No one was willing to make enemies for no reason, especially if they were strong enemies.
Many people fantasized about uniting the various civilizations in the universe to eliminate the Eternals, but to those civilizations, the Eternals were just another race that didn't harm them.
However, the Eternals had attacked the Ice Spirit Race, and the Five Spirit Races wouldn't let the matter rest.
The Eternals didn't know any of this. The Shaoyin Divinity had escaped, and the Seven Friends and the old woman had been captured to be dealt with. Unless a traitor from the Ice Spirit Race told the Eternals, the Eternals were still caught in the Ice Spirit Race's scheme.
"Let's kill these two humans to vent our hatred." The Ice Master looked at the frozen seven friends and the old woman and said casually.
The seven friends and the old woman were terrified. Their eyes darted about.
"Senior Ice Master, can you give these two to me?" Lu Yin asked.
The Seven Friends looked at Lu Yin with apprehension.
The Ice Matriarch faced Lu Yin. "I respect you, Master Lu, but please don't make things difficult for me. The Icespirit Realm has been destroyed, and the culprits must pay the price. I understand that you humans don't want to waste your powerhouses, but …"
Lu Yin smiled and said, "Senior, you must be joking. What I mean is, let me deal with these two. I'll kill them in front of you and give the Ice Spirit Clan an explanation."
The Ice Master was puzzled. "They're both going to die. What's the difference?"
Jiang Qingyue's eyes flashed. "Brother Lu, are you going to challenge them?"
Lu Yin nodded.
The Ice Master didn't understand, and so did the seven friends and the old woman. They might have heard of the Primordial Space, but they couldn't really understand it. The Lu family's Enlightened General and God-Sealing were innate powers, so no one would purposely go to the Eternals to spread them.
Before coming into contact with the Origin Space, even the captain of the True God Guards might not have known about this.
Lu Yin told the Ice Master about the appointment, and she was very interested, "There's such a thing?
Alright, Daoist Master Lu, please do as you wish. "
After saying that, the Ice Master removed the ice seal on the seven friends and the old woman.
Both of them were invaded by the cold
Even after being unfrozen, Erosion couldn't move for a while.
"Senior, Senior Yebo, are we alright?"
The seven friends asked hopefully. He didn't know how Lu Yin had done it, and he didn't understand either. "Senior, don't worry. We're already dead, and we won't return to the Eternals. We won't know anything."
Lu Yin laughed. "You've seen my true face."
The seven friends' pupils shrank. "This junior is willing to pledge loyalty to senior. If senior wants us to die, we won't hesitate. Please, senior, let us go."
The old woman also begged, "Please, senior, let us go."
Seeing the two begging so humbly, Lu Yin suddenly lost interest in talking. He had wanted to hear more about the Calamity Realm from the seven friends, but now …
He raised his hand and struck out with a palm. In the eyes of the other two Progenitors, Lu Yin hadn't moved at all. Only the Ice Master had seen it clearly. Lu Yin had struck the seven friends with a palm, but it had been so fast that even the Ice Master was shocked.
He looked at Lu Yin deeply. They had only fought briefly, and this person wasn't even an Extreme Powerhouse, but he had been able to resist the Ice Master's Sequence Laws. If Jiang Qingyue hadn't stopped him, this person might have had other methods up his sleeve. Just as the rumors said, this person was a monster among humans, and his cultivation couldn't be measured.
The seven friends slowly collapsed. Even in death, they hadn't expected to be killed so easily. They didn't even know Lu Yin's identity.
By the time they were brought over, Lu Yin's conversation with the others had already ended.
The old woman stared blankly at the seven friends' corpses as they collapsed. A chill ran down her spine, and the fear of death assaulted her, causing her vision to darken.
The General Appointment Platform appeared, and Lu Yin's expression was solemn. "In my name, General Appointment."
The Ice Master and Jiang Qingyue looked at this scene in amazement. They had never seen such a miraculous scene before. The dead could still be used. There were so many brands on the platform. Could this person use the power of so many humans?
If they were all Extreme Powerhouses, then wouldn't this person be too strong?
Lu Yin's expression was solemn. The seven friends weren't that strong, and they could only be considered ordinary Progenitors. It shouldn't be too difficult for him to appoint them.
After all, he had even appointed the Cyclops King.
The Cyclops King could kill several of the seven friends with a single slap.
Soon, the brands of the seven friends appeared on the platform, causing the Ice Master's white eyes to widen.
This was the first time that Jiang Qingyue had seen this, and she was shocked.
The Lu family was truly blessed by the heavens. A living person could become a god, and a dead person could appoint a general. There was nothing that they couldn't use. If the Lu family was given enough powerhouses and resources, then a single member of the Lu family could rival a powerful alien race.
The old woman stared blankly at this scene. This wasn't just the fear of death, but also the fear of the unknown.
Was she going to end up like this?
What kind of power was this?
"Monster! Monster! You're a monster! You're a monster!" the old woman screamed.
Lu Yin's General Appointment Platform slowly turned, and he looked at the old woman. "To those you betrayed, you're a monster as well."
The old woman shrieked. She had already gone mad. "Monster! I don't want to die! You're a monster!"
She endured the cold and tried to escape, but before she could take more than a few steps, her vision darkened, and she collapsed to the ground, dead.
Lu Yin didn't pity her. This old woman had betrayed her own spacetime, and she had betrayed everyone. She had caused those people to face the fate of death and transformation. How much despair had those people felt?
Lu Yin knew that he wasn't a saint, and he didn't have the right to make decisions for others. He only did what he wanted, and that was enough.
He didn't have any high-sounding reasons; he just wanted to.
He didn't want to.
The current Lu Yin had the right to do so.
The old woman was quickly appointed as a general.
Lu Yin felt a little dizzy. Appointing two Progenitors at the same time was very tiring, but the dizziness was far less exaggerated than when he had appointed the Cyclops King.
The Ice Master sighed. "Dao Master Lu, you've shown me the endless possibilities of the human race. It's no wonder that humans are the only race in the universe that can fight against the Eternals. Even the Eternals only accept humans to transform their Corpse Kings."
He then looked at Jiang Qingyue. "Humans have too many possibilities. When the Lightning Lord first came to the Five Spirit Races, he was still very weak, but he eventually rose up. This is the human race."
Jiang Qingyue slowly bowed. "I still have to thank the Five Spirit Races for giving Father this opportunity. Father often says that without the Five Spirit Races, there wouldn't be the current Lightning Lord."
The Ice Master smiled. "This is your father's own efforts. The Five Spirit Races have also prospered because of the Lightning Lord's help."
The platform disappeared, and Lu Yin exhaled as beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.
Jiang Qingyue stepped forward. "Even if you're talented, it's not easy to appoint two Progenitors at once."
Lu Yin forced a smile. "It's alright. I can hold on."
Jiang Qingyue nodded.
The Ice Master looked at Lu Yin and then at Jiang Qingyue. "What's your relationship?"
The two were astonished, not understanding what the Ice Master meant.
The Ice Master smiled. "The Ice Spirit Race doesn't discriminate between men and women, but you humans do. I think your relationship isn't ordinary."
Lu Yin realized that everyone was putting him and Jiang Qingyue together. Speaking of which, where was the Dragon Turtle?
"Where's the Dragon Turtle?"
Jiang Qingyue replied, "It's too talkative, so I left it at home."
Lu Yin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"What are you going to do next?
How are you going to explain this to the Everlasting Race? "Jiang Qingyue asked.
Lu Yin suddenly looked at the Ice Master. "Senior, have you heard of extreme ice stones?"
The Ice Master replied, "Of course. My race has many extreme ice stones, and they're differentiated by age. The oldest one is also a supreme treasure that can freeze life force that's certain death."
"Is this extreme ice stone related to the Ice Heart?"
The Ice Master spoke frankly. "The Ice Heart is actually an extreme ice stone that evolved over countless years. However, it's been so long that it's hard to imagine. Why do you ask?"
"Senior, can you let me take a look at the Ice Heart?" Lu Yin asked solemnly. He had an idea.
The Ice Master did not refuse. "Of course."
The Ice Master's straightforward agreement raised Lu Yin's opinion of the Ice Spirit Race. The Ice Heart was not an ordinary supreme treasure; it was the source of the Ice Spirit Race's power.
Lu Yin had personally seen a sequence particle appear in the Ice Heart during the battle between the Ice Master and the Shaoyin Deity. The Ice Master had been able to use it to force the Shaoyin Deity to flee. Otherwise, the Shaoyin Deity would not have been in danger so quickly.
Lu Yin followed the Ice Master's lead as they descended underground. The deeper they went, the colder the temperature became. Even with his cultivation, he felt like he was about to be frozen.
Jiang Qingyue was protected by the Ice Master's power, which was why she could follow along. Otherwise, she would have been frozen long ago.
Soon, Lu Yin saw the Ice Heart.
"How beautiful," Lu Yin couldn't help but say.
The Ice Heart was a blooming misty lotus in front of them. The snowy white mist spread out, forming petals in the void. It was extremely beautiful.
Jiang Qingyue praised, "Father said that the Ice Heart is the most beautiful flower he's ever seen."
