"In the history of the Fifth Mainland, my image is much more glorious than what you see now." Ancestor Chen smiled faintly.
Lu Yin couldn't help but laugh. "History is just a legend. Every person's image will be modified after it enters their mind. Everyone is just a normal person."
"You're so young, yet you're so open-minded. Don't be so mature. Sometimes, being impulsive isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's tiring to put too many shackles on yourself." Ancestor Chen laughed.
Lu Yin smiled. "I thought you were a serious person."
"I'm very serious when I fight," Patriarch Chen replied.
"I hope to see you walk out of Burial Garden one day," Lu Yin said.
Ancestor Chen's face was calm, but there was also a trace of longing. "This day will come. I will create an invincible battle skill, and I will be closer to killing the only true god than anyone else."
Lu Yin was astonished. "Close?"
Ancestor Chen stared at the lake. "I've been in Burial Garden for so many years because I wanted to think of a battle technique that could kill the only true god. I'm good at fighting and creating battle techniques. Even so, it's hard to create a truly invincible battle technique. I did create some variations for other battle techniques. It's meaningless to me, but I can help you. Reverse Step, do you want to learn it?
"I know how to walk backwards."
"There's a new change."
"I will also experience new changes from the Undying God."
"The Immortal God of the Seven Gods?
Oh right, when we fought, he said that he was the one who created Reverse Steps. He could use Reverse Steps to skip time and completely recover himself. What a creative change. How is he? "
"He's dead. He was killed by us."
"Is that so."
"I've learned his reverse steps, but I'm still far from being able to jump through time."
"What he meant was skipping time. What I meant was being parallel to time. You can also understand it as time stopping."
Lu Yin's eyes widened. "Time stop?"
Patriarch Chen looked at him. "Interested?"
Lu Yin was naturally interested. Every time Mister Mu appeared, time would stop, and Lu Yin had no idea how he did it. But now, Progenitor Chen had actually developed such an ability for Reversing Steps. This was truly something that Lu Yin did not even know how to describe. Even the Undying God, who had created Reversing Steps, did not have such an ability.
It could only be said that Ancestor Chen was really good at creating combat skills.
His interactions with Progenitor Chen had exceeded his expectations, but it was also within his expectations.
Progenitor Chen was an easy person to get along with. On the Fifth Mainland, his legends were accompanied by fierce battles and killings, but there were no descriptions of him.
The only thing he could pry into was the matter of Xia Zhen. In order to take revenge on the Xia Clan, Ancestor Chen gave Xia Zhen pointers, causing the Xia Clan to face a choice.
In order to take revenge on the Xia Clan, he had stolen the Xia Clan's Mountains and Seas, causing Xia Shenji to fail to become the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas.
From these events, it could be seen that Progenitor Chen was a vengeful person. He wasn't as great as others thought him to be, and he was also the one who had started the war with the Sixth Mainland.
But this was a human being, a genuine human being.
The persecution he had suffered and the experiences he had encountered had forced him to his current state step by step.
However, his purity had never changed. He did not betray humanity because of the Xia Clan's persecution, nor did he hurt the innocent. He took revenge, and he never implicated others. After promising the tomb keeper to stay in the cemetery, he never left, no matter how much he wanted to leave.
Faced with the threat of the Eternals, he could sit for countless years and quietly think of a way to break the stalemate. He was confident that he could do it.
He had a good impression of this junior and was willing to teach him wholeheartedly.
He held nothing back.
Progenitor Chen was a pure man of the pugilistic world.
Two months later, Lu Yin was about to leave. He had mastered the changes that Progenitor Chen had added to reverse time, but it would take him a long time to reach the level of parallel time.
Before leaving, Lu Yin faced Progenitor Chen and bowed deeply. "Throughout this junior's path of cultivation, I am indebted to Senior's kindness. This junior hereby thanks you."
However, Progenitor Chen had already disappeared, and only his words could be heard. "I'm not that great. It's your luck that you were able to learn my techniques. It has nothing to do with me. When I create an invincible battle technique that can kill the One True God, I'll accept anyone's worship."
Lu Yin stood up, tore through the void, and left.
During these two months, there was no movement from the Above Heaven Sect, but there was a lot of news from the Six Direction Society.
A Rank-9 Lotus Venerable had joined forces with an extraterrestrial powerhouse to kill the Eternals.
In the Void God's time, the Azure Sea Region was destroyed, and Xiu Ci was killed. Blood stained the starry sky, and the entire Azure Sea Region was bathed in blood. It came from an extraterrestrial powerhouse named Hibernation Awakening.
Not only did Hibernation Awakening cause a bloodbath in the Azure Sea Region, but it also declared that if the Six Direction Society attacked the Eternals, it would not just be a bloodbath in the Azure Sea Region, but also a certain spacetime of the Six Direction Society.
Lu Yin's expression sank when he heard the news.
"If not for the Six Direction Society's leaders being in seclusion, these extraterrestrials would not have dared to enter." Xu Leng arrived at the Above Heaven Sect with an ugly expression.
"Sister Leng, I'll invite Senior Xu Wuwei to Two Colored Mountain. With him there, we should be able to protect ourselves," Lu Yin said.
After all, Xu Wuwei was a Sequence Law Realm powerhouse. No matter how powerful these extraterrestrials were, they might not be able to reach the level of a parallel spacetime master.
Xu Leng bitterly replied, "Hibernation Awakening threatens the entire Void God Spacetime. Unless we deal with it, we can't always be on guard."
Lu Yin frowned. Hibernation Awakening was the first, and if it was not dealt with, there would be a second and a third. The greatest threat, the Startoad, might even come. At that time, no one would be able to stop it.
He ignored the Grand Empyreans and wanted to control the Six Direction Society, but he had to be able to shoulder this responsibility.
Reincarnation Spacetime was also the one who had given the list of names to attack the extraterrestrials. It was not good to ask them to stop now.
Xu Leng had left, and she had come to seek the Above Heaven Sect's protection. Otherwise, Two Colored Mountain might become the next Azure Sea Region.
She had come without telling Xu Heng, which Lu Yin could understand. He did not want anything to happen to them.
Hibernation Awakening had to be dealt with. No extraterrestrials could threaten the Six Direction Society, or they would have a headache in the future.
First, he needed to understand Hibernation Awakening.
A few days later, Jiang Chen's sudden arrival surprised Lu Yin.
"Why are you here?"
Lu Yin was surprised. White Cloud City had asked the Above Heaven Sect for help, and the Above Heaven Sect had sent six experts to fight against the Eternal Race's six True God Guard captains. The remaining Five Spirit Races and the Trimoon Alliance had suppressed the Eternal Race. At the same time, the Grand Empyrean had suddenly gone to Calamity Zone, causing the all-out war to stop. White Cloud City only needed to deal with their own problems.
"I heard that you're looking for information on Hibernation Awakening?" Jiang Chen sat down.
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "You know about it?"
"My father knows about it, so he sent me to tell you," Jiang Chen said.
Lu Yin's gaze turned serious. "The Lightning Lord knows about Hibernation Awakening?"
"I've fought it before. If it hadn't fled fast enough, my father would've killed it," Jiang Chen said regretfully.
Through Jiang Chen, Lu Yin gradually learned about Hibernation Awakening.
Hibernation Awakening was a very powerful insect, but it was unusually timid. Because of its timidity, it would do many things to the extreme.
For example, it had massacred the Azure Sea Region in order to intimidate the Six Direction Society and prevent it from being targeted by the reincarnation dimension.
Looking at Jiang Chen's drawing, Lu Yin recalled that when the Grand Empyrean had taken him to Calamity Zone, the Eternal Race's extraterrestrial helpers had appeared, and one of them had been this insect.
"It's greedy by nature, but it's more timid than anyone else. If it can't intimidate the Six Direction Society this time, it'll flee far, far away. It'll return after this matter blows over, and even the Eternal Race won't be able to find it. So if you really want to get rid of it, you'll either have to create an opportunity for it to strike again, or you won't have another chance," Jiang Chen said.
"It said that it's going to destroy the Six Direction Society in a parallel universe," Lu Yin said.
Jiang Chen disdainfully replied, "It's fake. It's just trying to scare you. It'll be best if it can scare you, but if it can't, it'll just run away. It's just a bug anyway. Do you expect it to care about its reputation?"
Lu Yin pondered for a moment and agreed. "But how can I create an opportunity for it to strike again?"
Jiang Chen told Lu Yin about Hibernation Awakening's habits. It hadn't massacred the Azure Sea Region randomly, but the Azure Sea Region was very suitable for it and gave it a sense of security. Next, as long as they could find a suitable place for it to live and cooperate with the reincarnation dimension, Hibernation Awakening might strike again.
Of course, there would only be one chance. Once it escaped, it would be impossible to find it again.
Lu Yin immediately ordered the Six Direction Society to secretly search for a place similar to the Azure Sea Region. At the same time, he contacted the reincarnation dimension and asked them to postpone their attack.
"Thank you. If it wasn't for your information, I really wouldn't know how to deal with this insect," Lu Yin said.
Jiang Chen said casually, "I'm not confident that I can deal with it. It's actually not very strong, far weaker than the Star Toad, let alone the Ancient Thunder Locust."
"Ancient Thunder Locust?
That's the enemy that the Lightning Lord is dealing with? "Lu Yin asked.
Jiang Chen was distressed. "Yes. If it wasn't for the Ancient Thunder Locust, father would've killed his way into the Calamity Region. Whether or not he could defeat it, he would've fought it three times. But this Ancient Thunder Locust is like a natural barrier blocking his path."
"What's going on?" Lu Yin was curious.
Jiang Chen rubbed his head and told him about the grudge between the Ancient Thunder Locust and the Lightning Lord.
The Lightning Lord had the ability to absorb the power of lightning when he touched it. Jiang Chen didn't hide this ability from him. He had borrowed the power of the black pearl.
The Ancient Thunder Locust was a creature that cultivated the laws of lightning. It had a strong desire to devour lightning.
Compared to the Ancient Thunder Locust, the Lightning Lord was far inferior in terms of the purity of lightning. Generally speaking, as long as one didn't provoke the Ancient Thunder Locust, it would be fine.
However, the Lightning Lord had accidentally touched the strongest type of lightning in the universe. This type of lightning was protected by the Ancient Thunder Locust. Because of this, the Lightning Lord was hunted down by the Ancient Thunder Locust.
No matter where the Lightning Lord fled to, the Ancient Thunder Locust could find him.
"Is the Lightning Lord not afraid of the Ancient Thunder Locust?" Lu Yin asked.
Jiang Chen rolled his eyes. "Of course. If you can defeat it, why run?"
"The Ancient Thunder Locust sounds invincible. Even the Eternal Race doesn't want to provoke it. You can think of it as being close to the level of a Great Empyrean. Father can delay and lure it away, but it's unlikely that he can defeat it head-on. Every time, we have to work together with Uncle Kong to drive it away, but it appears again not long after."
"It wasn't easy to find a parallel spacetime and create a maze to trap it. Who would've thought that the Eternal Race would keep an eye on it? When we were about to go to war with the Eternal Race, the Eternal Race released the Ancient Thunder Locust and caught us off guard. As a result, father and the others couldn't help the Five Spirit Races. Otherwise, why would I ask for help from the Above Heaven Sect?"
