"Where is he now?"
The Void Master hurriedly asked. It had been so difficult for them to reach this point. If not for this person, they would not even have been able to force the Corpse God to self-detonate. If they could not even kill it under such circumstances, how were they going to kill it in the future?
The child replied: "I don't know, the reason he stayed in the illusory civilization I created for so many years was to leave Divine power in my body. Divine power is the true power of a Bitter Calamity realm Combatant, in that civilization, I didn't have the will to resist"
"Is it because of this power that he was able to heavily injure you?" The Moon Immortal asked.
The child coughed up blood. "Kill me."
Lu Yin looked at the child, "If I'm not wrong, you have another power that's related to illusions."
The Wood Deity and the others were not surprised. They had also guessed it. The meaning of the Corpse God Myth was very clear. If one did not believe in it, they would not be harmed. This also explained why the Karma could easily save the Corpse God. His power was fake.
The child looked at Lu Yin and sighed in admiration. "You haven't reached the Sequence Laws, and you aren't even an Extreme Powerhouse, but you have such strength. You are the future master of this universe. I hope that you won't end up like me."
At this point, he suddenly stopped, and his expression changed. Then, he suddenly stared at Lu Yin again. "Is the Cyclops King really being tortured by you?"
Lu Yin thought about it for a moment before shaking his head, "It's only about strength, it has nothing to do with the person."
The child exhaled. "I guessed it. Otherwise, the Lu family you speak of would have long ceased to exist. Humans shouldn't have such power."
After that, he said, "Pick me."
Lu Yin was astonished.
The child was very serious. "I'm going to die. Since that's the case, I might as well leave my power for you to use."
Lu Yin hesitated. "If I want to do that, I'll have to kill you myself."
The child didn't care. "I'm going to die anyway, so why should I care?"
Lu Yin looked at Wood God and the others. It was not easy for him to kill someone he had no enmity with, and he was not a bloodthirsty person.
Wood God and the others nodded at Lu Yin. If they could obtain the power of the negative karma, it would definitely be of great help to them. Regardless of whether it was the illusory power that could scare others or the strange power that had severely injured the Corpse God, they were both very powerful.
Lu Yin took a deep breath. "Thank you, Senior."
Wood Deity and the others slowly retreated. Summoning and appointing generals was the power of the Lu Family. It wasn't good for them to just watch. After all, they were all Sequence Principle powerhouses. It was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't discover anything.
Lu Yin didn't mind being watched, but he didn't stop them from leaving.
The child's life force continued to flow away: "I have two powers, one is sin, I use my own sin to imprison myself, Sky Piercer is a killer move formed from this, the more sins one feels, the easier it is for one to be injured."
"The second is fantasy. This is also the rule of my Sequence. Under fantasy, if you believe it, then it exists. If you don't, then it doesn't exist."
He looked at the Wood Deity and the others in the distance. "The Corpse Goddess was surrounded and killed, and she asked me for help. You all thought that I had the power to save her, so I took action. Naturally, you all believed everything and were easily controlled by my fantasy rules. It's the same in the Hell of the Giants. The Mountain-Back Giant King, the Cyclops Giant King, and the others all believe in the rules here, so they won't die even in death. As long as they believe, they will continue to exist."
"This is the power of fantasy."
Lu Yin was shocked. The power of a fantasy was actually so terrifying. It seemed easy to decipher, and if one believed in it, it would exist. If one didn't believe in it, it wouldn't exist. But how could one not believe in it?
If the karma formed a cage with the power of imagination, everyone who saw it would believe that it was a cage. Once they believed it, they would fall into the rules of imagination.
This was because no matter what the cage was, they would not be able to break it.
If the karma formed an apocalypse with the power of imagination, then everyone who saw this scene would naturally believe it as well. Then, the apocalypse would truly descend.
The power of imagination seemed simple, but it was actually the most difficult to deal with.
People often lost themselves in the illusion and were unable to extricate themselves. As long as they did not speak of it, this was an unsolvable power.
Lu Yin exhaled deeply. "Senior's strength is admirable."
The child smiled bitterly. "This power was also imparted to me by someone else. I finally cultivated it to the level of a Sequence Law."
"Senior's master?" Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. How amazing would such a person have to be to be able to create illusions?
The child shook his head and coughed up blood again. "He won't let me call him master."
"Then, that senior?"
"He passed away a long time ago."
Lu Yin nodded. He did not know why, but he suddenly felt relieved. The power of imagination was both unsolvable and impossible to guard against. If such an expert was still alive, Lu Yin would have suspected that he had seen something illusory.
"Cough, cough. It's almost time. I, I can't hold on any longer. Do it." The karma spoke with difficulty as blood flowed down his entire body.
Lu Yin could not bear it, but he still raised his hand. "Senior, I'm Lu Yin. My original name is Lu Xiaoxuan. I'm the Dao Master of the Heaven's Sect on the fifth continent of the Primordial Space. I'm here to send you on your way."
The child's vision was already blurry and bloody. "Protect your civilization well. I hope that you won't walk the path that I walked."
Lu Yin solemnly said, "Thank you."
Then, he slapped down on the child's forehead. The child's body swayed and slowly fell to the ground.
In the distance, Mu Shen and the others watched all of this. A powerhouse of a generation had finally died. The founder of the Giant's Hell was also once the focus of the Six Directions Association. Now, he was still dead.
Lu Yin felt speechless and uncomfortable. He took a deep breath and the General Appointment Platform appeared. "In my name, General Appointment."
A figure gradually appeared on the platform. Lu Yin did not know how to differentiate the karma's strength. If he did not understand the power of imagination, he would never be able to defeat him. If he did, however, this power would be easy to break. He did not know who to target, but he should be able to succeed.
As the brand gradually deepened, the General Appointment Platform suddenly trembled, and Lu Yin coughed up a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale, and he heard a faint sound. When he looked up, he saw the word "sky" appear out of nowhere and viciously press down on Lu Yin.
This was something that Lu Yin had never felt before. Even when he had been ambushed by Nightking Zhenwu, and even when he had faced a lofty Grand Empyrean, he had not felt this way.
This was the feeling of being suppressed by the heavens. The firmament of the heavens was collapsing, and Lu Yin experienced the despair that ordinary people felt when facing doomsday. This was not just doomsday, but also the feeling of an ant looking up at the heavens. What was going on? What was this?
Everything happened in an instant. The word "sky" suddenly pressed down, as if Lu Yin had offended something.
At that moment, the die suddenly appeared without any warning, and its five dots faced the word. The flames that had once burned the Book of Destiny appeared, but they did not move towards the word. Instead, they moved towards the karma's corpse. Lu Yin did not know what they had burned, but the word disappeared just as it was about to suppress him.
Was this real or fake?
Lu Yin stared blankly above his head, but there was nothing. Not far away, the General Appointment Platform was empty, and there was no karma's brand. The die slowly disappeared, and everything was calm. Even further away, Mu Shen and the rest did not see anything.
It was as if everything that had just happened had been an illusion.
Imagination?
Was this the power of imagination?
But that was not right. Why had he believed that a word could suppress him?
Or even kill him?
Why had the die suddenly appeared?
Also, Lu Yin wiped the corner of his mouth. There was blood. This was real. He had indeed been suppressed by a sense of despair that he had never felt before. He had experienced what ordinary people felt, where life and death were hanging by a thread.
He looked at the karma's corpse, but his corpse had long turned into ashes and scattered. The moment the flames burned, it had turned into ashes.
If he had not been injured and the die had not appeared, Lu Yin would not have believed what had just happened. Where did the word come from?
Was it because of the karma?
His gaze was deep, and streams of light appeared around his body. Look, he wanted to see what had happened.
He was unwilling. Why should he be suppressed and killed?
He had been injured for no reason, and he wanted to see where the strength came from.
The streams of light shuttled back and forth, and the scene in front of him changed. The ashes slowly fell in front of him and formed the karma's corpse. He saw the flames, but he did not see the word 'heaven'. He suddenly stared in the direction where the flames were burning. The streams of light kept looking back, and the flames shrank and returned to the die's five dots. He stared at the karma's corpse.
When? Lu Yin saw it clearly. A word had appeared on the karma's forehead — slave.
The word 'slave' was engraved on the karma's forehead. Usually, it could not be seen at all, but when he called the general, the word appeared. Slave, Heaven, what did it mean?
The streams of light recovered, and his eyes were empty.
Lu Yin's thoughts were complicated. There was actually the word 'slave' on the karma's forehead?
He knew very well what this word meant.
What kind of person could use karma as a slave?
Was it Heaven?
But what did this Heaven represent?
Lu Yin's fingers went numb, and he felt as if he had touched some kind of taboo.
If not for the flames, would he still be standing here?
The flames had appeared when the Book of Destiny was burned. At that time, he had stolen the innate gift of fire with his die's five dots and had always kept it in the die. He had never thought that it would save him this time. The flames were related to Immemorial City, and the Book of Destiny had been burned because it was divining Immemorial City. Then, was the word 'heaven' also related to Immemorial City?
Immemorial City was clearly the place where human powerhouses from ancient to modern times had resisted the Eternals from destroying the strings of the Sequence. Logically speaking, he should have seen it clearly, but why had the word 'heaven' still appeared?
What did this word represent in Immemorial City?
Lu Yin was even more confused. Immemorial City was definitely not as simple as Mu Ji had said. There was definitely a problem. He wanted to go to Immemorial City.
Lu Yin's gaze was resolute. He had to go to Immemorial City to take a look. There were great secrets there.
The General Appointment Platform slowly floated, and Lu Yin looked over. Not only had the karma's brand disappeared, but even the Cyclops King's brand had disappeared.
The Cyclops King had originally been a karma that had appeared with the power of an illusion. Now that the karma had told Lu Yin that this was an illusion, Lu Yin naturally did not believe in the Cyclops King's existence. Thus, this power had disappeared as well.
It was painful to lose two powerhouses that could be called upon, but Lu Yin had seen some kind of secret that had to be uncovered.
In the distance, Mu Shen and the others came over. "Master Lu, how was it?"
Lu Yin did not know how to tell them, so he could only nod. "It's over."
The Void Master had a headache. "It wasn't easy to beat the Corpse God to such a state, but he's still alive. It'll be even harder to kill him in the future."
The Moon Immortal said, "It wasn't us. It was that child."
