Wu Hou exhaled and walked a few steps before sitting down on a boulder. "It's a long story, so I'll keep it short. Actually, Father and Senior Lu Tianyi arranged for me to enter the Eternals."
Lu Yin and the others were shocked. "Ancestor Hui and Forefather Tianyi?"
Wu Hou nodded.
Lu Yin looked at Senior Qing Ping and then at Senior Mu Xie. They had all come from Lu Tianyi, and they had even spoken in front of Forefather Tianyi. If he had known earlier, he would have asked.
"Are you sure?" Lu Yin asked.
Wu Hou made an inviting gesture. "We can ask Forefather Tianyi to confront us at any time. If you can contact Father, he's definitely not dead."
Lu Yin walked towards the door without hesitation. Wu Hou was stunned. "Where is he going?"
"To tell Forefather Tianyi that he's behind the door," Mu Xie said.
Wu Hou was puzzled. "When you came, you didn't tell Forefather Tianyi?"
Qing Ping and Mu Xie did not answer. Indeed, they had not told Forefather Tianyi after entering this place for so long. The main reason was that Forefather Tianyi did not ask.
On the other side, Lu Yin met Lu Tianyi.
"Forefather, Hui Wu, you know him, right?" Lu Yin asked directly.
Lu Tianyi was surprised. "Why are you asking about him?"
Lu Yin said, "One of the captains of the Eternals' True God Guards, Wu Hou, is behind the door. He says he's Hui Wu."
Lu Tianyi was not surprised. "Looks like he found out something important. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been exposed."
Lu Yin blinked. "Is he really a spy?"
Lu Tianyi walked towards the door. "Let's go. It's time to meet him." He stepped through the door, and Lu Yin hurried after him.
On a barren planet, Wu Hou's expression changed when he saw Lu Tianyi appear. He was both excited and relaxed.
Lu Tianyi saw Wu Hou. "You and I didn't meet during the battle in E Territory. I didn't expect you to contact us. Long time no see, Little Wu."
Wu Hou's expression was complicated. He stood up and clenched his fists before releasing them. He exhaled deeply, causing the ground to crack. He lowered his head and roared fiercely as if venting his anger.
Lu Yin and the others looked at the current Wu Hou. He had changed. Just a moment ago, he had looked more like a Corpse King, just like he had when he had been with the Eternals. Now, he looked more like a human, a human with flesh and blood.
"Long time no see, Old Ancestor Tianyi. I thought I could only live in the Eternals for the rest of my life." Wu Hou raised his head and exhaled.
Lu Tianyi said apologetically, "I'm sorry. Something happened to the Lu Clan, and I've made you worry."
Wu Hou covered his head, looking very helpless: "The dignified Lu Family was actually banished, what a joke, if your Lu Family does not return, and father does not appear, even if I want to acknowledge my ancestors and return to my family, I will not be able to. Senior Tianyi, please do not let this happen again, I also want to go home."
Lu Tianyi nodded with a smile. "I won't."
Lu Yin sized up Wu Hou, as he had truly been arranged by Patriarch Tianyi and Progenitor Hui to join the Everlasting Tribe. This was too dramatic. Lu Yin had not believed that there was something wrong with Wang Xiaoyu, but now, it was actually Wu Hou.
"Let me formally introduce myself, Hui Wu, greets everyone." Wu Hou's tone was gloomy, his face was weathered, but at that moment, he revealed a smile.
Perhaps no one in the Everlasting Tribe had ever seen him smile, and it was a forced one.
Lu Yin looked at Hui Wu. "Everyone knows each other, and I admire what Senior has done, but I still want to know the truth.
How did Senior gain the trust of the Everlasting Tribe? "
Hui Wu met Lu Yin's gaze. "I've heard a lot about you. Back then, on the battlefield at the back, I wanted to meet you. You were the one who lured the Lu Family back. Without you, Daolord Lu, I would have been a lonely ghost. Many thanks."
"You're welcome."
"You can ask Old Ancestor Tianyi about how I joined the Everlasting Tribe. I think you should be more curious about how I became a captain of the True God Guard," Hui Wu said.
Lu Yin nodded. From Lu Yin's perspective, Huiwu's actions were simply courting death. However, Lu Yin still had to make sure that Huiwu had the Fifth Mainland behind him, as well as the entire Six Direction Society. He could not tolerate any mistakes.
Lu Tianyi did not stop him.
Hui Wu's expression was serious. "It's very simple. I have indeed cultivated divine power."
Lu Yin raised an eyebrow. He could understand how Old Ancestor Tianyi and Old Ancestor Lu Yuan felt when they learned that he had cultivated divine power. They could trust him, but he found it hard to trust Hui Wu. Only Hui Wu himself knew the effects of using divine power.
If he was like this, how did Hui Wu manage to cultivate divine power and not be controlled by it?
Hui Wu stretched his shoulders and sat back down on the boulder. He said in a reminiscing tone, "My birth and my future path were all part of my father's plan. In fact, from the beginning, my father's goal in giving birth to me was to have me join the Everlasting Tribe."
Lu Yin, Qing Ping, and Mu Xie were shocked. Hui Wu had actually done this?
Lu Tianyi was not surprised. He had known about this for a long time.
"From the moment I was born, my father appeared to be in seclusion, but in reality, he had been planting golden meteor seeds in my body. He wanted to use these seeds to cultivate divine power one day. What is your impression of Hui Wu?
Smart?
Intellect?
My impression of him is that he is cruel, isn't he?
A newborn child who doesn't even know the color of the sky has to shoulder such a huge mission. He is not a qualified father. "
Lu Yin did not refute this. As a father, Hui Wu had gone overboard.
"Even so, I accepted it. After all, he had instilled this idea in me since I was young. I had to accept it even if I didn't want to. I also admire him. Who could scheme against the Everlasting Tribe?
Only he could. He planted golden meteor seeds in my body when I was young and thought about what would happen years later. The reason why I was able to cultivate divine power without being controlled by the Everlasting Tribe was because the divine power had all entered the golden meteor seeds. The seeds came from my father and had nothing to do with me. But I could use the golden meteor battle technique to draw out the divine power from the seeds and make the Everlasting Tribe think that I cultivated divine power. "
"What do you think? Is this explanation acceptable?"
Lu Yin looked at Lu Tianyi. Could such a thing be done?
Lu Tianyi sighed. "Hui Wu's method is cruel, but it can succeed. He and I worked together to deduce this method. We originally wanted to use the same method to inject more Everlasting Tribe members into the bodies of more people, but even Hui Wu could not do it. Each golden meteor seed consumed his entire life's worth of cultivation. He had to go into seclusion for ten years to plant each seed. Hui Wu had a limited number of seeds in his body, so he did not dare to cultivate too recklessly. He was afraid that the seeds would not be enough for him to cultivate divine power in the future. Otherwise, with his talent, he would have broken into the Progenitor Realm long ago.
"He is the only Everlasting Corpse King Transformation and Eye-less Transformation as a human."
Lu Yin was shocked. "Eye-less Transformation?"
Hui Wu's lips curled up. "Yes, Eye-less Transformation. I am an Everlasting. No, more accurately speaking, I am the only Everlasting Corpse King in the First Calamity.
The person who cultivated the Eye-less Transformation as a human is also the only person who can cultivate divine power without being controlled. "
Lu Tianyi glanced at Lu Yin. He really was not the only one.
Lu Yin sighed. "How many tricks did Hui Wu set up for the Everlasting Tribe?"
Hui Wu sneered, "Who knows? Perhaps you are one of his tricks as well."
Lu Yin looked at Hui Wu. "Since you are not being controlled by divine power, that means you are still one of us. What business do you have with us?"
Hui Wu's expression turned solemn. "The Corpse God."
Lu Yin and the others were shocked. "The Corpse God?"
Hui Wu was solemn. "The Corpse God is currently in the Giant's Hell. While the Calamity Realm is closed, the Everlasting Tribe cannot rescue him. As long as the Corpse God cannot escape, he will die."
Lu Yin did not understand. "How do you know that the Corpse God is in the Giant's Hell?"
Only people like the Ancestor would know such a secret. Perhaps not all of them would know. It was impossible for someone at the level of a True God guard to only know.
Hui Wu sighed. "Speaking of which, the Lu Family's exile is a good thing."
He looked at Lu Tianyi. "The Everlasting Tribe is good at luring humans into betrayal and becoming spies. Similarly, humans can also plant spies in the Everlasting Tribe. The Everlasting Tribe suspects all cultivators who are not Corpse Kings. No matter what they do, I will do the same."
"Even with Father's wisdom, I was still tested after entering the Everlasting Tribe. This test is the fate of the Seven Skygods."
"Before the Lu Family was exiled, the Everlasting Tribe inadvertently revealed to me that the Corpse God was hiding in the Giant's Hell. They also mentioned that he was one of the Giant's Hell's giants. His weakness is in the Giant's Hell. As long as we can find him, we can kill him."
"By the way, the giants created by the Ancient Gods are only from the Primordial Space. The giants of the Giant's Hell have nothing to do with the Ancient Gods, so don't associate the Corpse God with the Ancient Gods. They are not related. If you misunderstand this, you will suffer."
Hui Wu's gaze swept over Lu Yin and the others. "I believed the information about the Corpse God. The Everlasting Tribe had their own way of convincing me, just like how Father had his way of convincing me to join the Everlasting Tribe. At that time, I was already preparing to inform Senior Tianyi, but the Lu Family was exiled at that time."
"How laughable. The Lu Family would be betrayed one day. The entire Lu Heavenly Realm disappeared. I even went to the Top Realm, but I couldn't contact Senior Tianyi. I didn't expose this secret to the humans because I didn't trust the Frigid Immortal Sect."
Lu Tianyi was surprised. "Is that how you passed the Everlasting Tribe's test?"
Hui Wu nodded. "That's right."
Mu Xie was puzzled. "It must have been a long time since you joined the Everlasting Tribe and the Lu Family was exiled. Why would the Everlasting Tribe test you then?"
Hui Wu looked at Mu Xie. "A half-Ancestor-level Twelve Marquises isn't worth the Everlasting Tribe's test of the Seven Skygods. At that time, the Everlasting Tribe had already planned to transfer people from the Twelve Marquises to form a new True God Guard, increasing the number of True God Guards to twelve. I, Marquis Wang, Marquis Wuyi, and the West Mountain Tea King were all candidates. Only a Progenitor is worth the Everlasting Tribe's test. Otherwise, the Everlasting Tribe wouldn't care even if they knew that you were a traitor, because a traitor can't affect the Everlasting Tribe."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. That's right. He had joined the Everlasting Tribe under the guise of Ye Bo to carry out missions unrelated to the Six Paths Association. If not for the Everlasting Tribe's constant losses, he might not have been able to come into contact with the Fifth Mainland for a very long time.
