The Wood God's words had shaken Mu Ji's faith. What he wanted the most was eternal life. Humans could not do it, but the Eternals could. This was what his master had told him. Since that was the case, why would he cling to humans?
A seed was planted, and what made it germinate was the Eternals' words, "Humans, Corpse Kings, and astral beasts are just manifestations of life in the universe. Why cling to them?"
Because of this, Mu Ji betrayed the Wood God and was removed from the Wood Person Sutra. The Wood God was furious, and the Wood God lost a talented cultivator while the Eternals gained a True God Guard captain.
When Lu Yin saw these memories, the first thing that came to his mind was that Patriarch Lu Yuan had not told him about Ku Ai. They had thought that telling him too early would affect his cultivation. He had not cared at the time, but now it seemed that the Patriarch had foresight.
Some things were known too early, and the consequences were unpredictable.
The Wood God cared too much about Mu Ji and wanted to nurture him in all aspects. He had nurtured Mu Ji's desire for eternal life, but he had not pointed him in the right direction.
Mu Ji was a traitor, but he had not truly joined the Eternals. He wanted to transcend. If he could betray the Wood God, then he could betray the Eternals as well.
He only wanted the True God's ultimate technique because it could allow him to transcend. His goal was very clear.
He looked down on the Eternals from the bottom of his heart, which was why he could casually insult the only True God. He was proud because his starting point was much higher than others. Many people spent their entire lives without knowing about the existence of Progenitors, but he had stepped into the Wood Person Sutra and learned about eternal life.
His prideful nature made him think of a way to obtain the True God's ultimate technique. He did not want to expose Lu Yin and Hui Wu to be rewarded by the Eternals. Everyone had different personalities, and if it had been the Shaoyin Divine Sovereign, he would have already revealed that Lu Yin might be Yebo.
Lu Yin also knew that he had been deliberately sunk into the divine power lake to find the True God's ultimate technique. He had searched all the tributaries of the First Zone of Calamity, but he could not find the one that had sunk into the wrong person's lake. There were berserk corpses there, and no one was allowed to enter.
In order to obtain a True God's ultimate technique, he was willing to be submerged in a lake for a hundred years. In order to transcend, he was willing to betray the Wood Spacetime. In order to join forces with Lu Yin, he was willing to curse the only True God. This was Mu Ji, a person who only had goals and no emotions.
He had already gone mad.
Therefore, he naturally wouldn't tell the Founding Ancestor about Yebo, Huiwu, or Wang Xiaoyu. If he wanted a few people in the Everlasting Race who could join forces with him, these spies were the best choice.
He didn't believe that a human traitor would side with the Eternals, and the Corpse King couldn't work with him either. Lu Yin and the others were his only choice. More importantly, he had his own ambitions. He could betray the humans, but he also wanted to one day obtain a True God's ultimate technique and return to the human race.
If he wanted to return, he naturally had to pay a price. He wanted to establish his own faction within the Eternals. It had to be said that this idea was even crazier than obtaining a True God's ultimate skill, but that was what he wanted.
Lu Yin's alliance with the humans was the same as Mu Ji's alliance with the Eternals.
However, there was one thing that made Lu Yin feel relieved: Mu Ji wasn't as certain as he had made himself out to be. The evil he had seen was just a rough estimate. He had been certain that Yebo was Lu Yin himself, but he had only been stalling for time and bluffing.
Even Wang Xiaoyu had very little evil. After Huiwu had left, the Corpse God had been severely injured. This was only his guess, but it was all a bluff.
This person was very shrewd.
Lu Yin looked into the distance, thinking about how to use Mu Ji. Unfortunately, if not for the limited time and the limited power of the Wood Spacetime, he would have tried to commit suicide and have Mu Ji die. Suicide was not easy, and some powerhouses found it difficult to die even if they wanted to. Lu Yin had no way of controlling Mu Ji's suicide in such a short time.
The next day, Di Qiong returned, but the Six Direction Association showed no reaction. It was as if they didn't know that they were going to attack. This meant that Yebo and Mu Ji were fine.
First, Two Blades, Wu Hou, and Wang Hou were fine as well.
Lu Yin knew that this attack was fake, but he had deliberately told Wang Wen about it because he was worried that Huiwu would be tested.
If the Eternals wanted to test the Six Direction Association, they would test all the captains of the True Gods. If Huiwu told the Six Direction Association that they were going to be attacked, they would be exposed. Now that the Six Direction Association knew about this, even if Huiwu had a way to send the news back, the Six Direction Association would not be discovered.
The test was over, and the next step was to attack the Five Spirit Tribes and the Trimoons Alliance.
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. Even if he had been prepared for this, this still made him uneasy.
He wondered how Wang Wen and the others would prepare.
Another day passed, and Di Qiong left with Di Xia. Lu Yin walked out of the tower and headed in Mu Ji's direction. He knew where she was.
Not long after, Lu Yin found Mu Ji.
Mu Ji looked at Lu Yin. "Yebo?
What's the matter?
Have you thought it through? "
…
Many figures appeared in the Trimoons Alliance's spacetime, including Di Qiong and Di Xia. They had thought that this would be an unbridled massacre, but instead of the Trimoons Alliance, they saw Wood God, Void Master, and other experts from the Six Direction Association.
Oh no, something went wrong.
At the entrance of the First Zone of Calamity, Celestial Champion Douchebag raised his golden staff and smashed it down. "Come again, First Zone of Calamity."
Celestial Champion Douchebag killed his way into the First Zone of Calamity.
At the same time, in the Third Zone of Calamity, Lu Yin approached Mu Ji. "You want to find the True God's ultimate technique?"
Mu Ji asked, "Why? Are you going to say it out loud?"
"I don't know what you meant by what you said to me before, and I don't know who that 'person' is, but I want to find the True God's ultimate technique as well. I have a map of the divine power lakes here, and it might be helpful," Lu Yin said. He was already eight meters away from Mu Ji.
Mu Ji frowned. "This kind of thing is useless. Perhaps the True God's ultimate technique is hidden in some corner, and we can find it with the map. It's not something you should say."
"What if this is a map of all the divine power lakes in the six zones of Calamity?"
"What did you say?
A map of the six zones of Calamity? "Mu Ji was shocked.
Lu Yin was calm. "If a True God placed the ultimate technique under the divine power lakes, then there must be some kind of pattern. Only a True God can clearly see the locations of the six zones of Calamity. Through this map, we can also see it."
Mu Ji's eyes burned with passion. If it was just a map of one zone of Calamity, then he would not have cared, but six zones of Calamity were different.
"Take it out and let me see."
Lu Yin took a step forward, and the scene in front of him changed. He directly controlled Mu Ji's body, took out the Wheel of Life and Death, and spun it. At the same time, Mu Ji grabbed Lu Yin's body. Lu Yin seemed to be unable to resist, and Mu Ji grabbed him by the neck, making it difficult for him to move.
。
Lu Yin controlled Mu Ji's body to tear through the void, and in an instant, his consciousness returned to his body. Mu Ji was awake, but he was confused. How did he grab Ye Bo's neck?
Before he could react, Lu Yin pushed him into a spatial crack with a palm.
The entire process was very fast, and Lu Yin had rehearsed it many times in his mind. He wanted to be seen by others so that he could report it to Di Qiong.
From an outsider's point of view, the entire process looked like Mu Ji had suddenly attacked Ye Bo, and for some reason, Ye Bo had been unable to resist. However, Ye Bo had attacked in the next second, and Mu Ji had used Ye Bo's palm to escape into the spatial crack.
Everything had seemed so smooth, and the spatial crack had been torn open by Mu Ji himself. He had premeditated his escape.
After Mu Ji disappeared into the spatial crack, a figure quickly approached him. It was the woman he had seen on the observation platform, and she was the expert who was second only to Di Qiong in the third zone of Calamity: Fei.
Di Qiong had indeed sent people to watch him.
"What's going on?" Fei shouted as she stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin coughed. "I don't know. He suddenly attacked me and even stole my cosmic ring."
Fei saw that Lu Yin's finger was bleeding. Cosmic ring?
She wanted to ask more questions, but a terrifying aura suddenly descended from the distance. "Not good."
In the third zone of Calamity, at the center of the Eternal Kingdom, a stargate opened, and Lu Yuan walked out just after Mu Ji had left. The stargate that Lu Yuan had used was Lu Yin's, but it had been stolen by Mu Ji.
Lu Yuan walked out of the stargate and saw the imprisoned Wu Tian. Although he had expected this, he still couldn't help but roar when he saw Wu Tian, "Wu Da!"
On the observation platform, Wu Tian's eyes widened, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Fertile Soil?"
Lu Yuan appeared in front of Wu Tian. "I'll take you back."
"Wait."
Wu Tian wanted to say something, but Fei broke through the void and swept her leg towards Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan casually pushed her back, and in the next moment, Lu Yin appeared, his divine power surging as he attacked Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan showed no mercy as he raised his palm and pressed down.
Heaven and earth froze as Lu Yin's body was pressed down by the palm. Fei hurriedly reached out and dragged Lu Yin out. The Eternal Kingdom was reduced to dust, and the third zone of Calamity trembled under Lu Yuan's might. No one could stop him.
Lu Yuan casually tore open the chains and was about to leave with Wu Tian.
Wu Tian fell to the ground, his skin torn apart. His body was extremely weak, but he would not die.
Lu Yuan grabbed Wu Tian's arm, and Wu Tian gripped Lu Yuan's arm, his eyes red. "If I could leave, I would have done so long ago. Fertile Soil, I am the one who is destined. Let's go."
Not far away, Fei's eyes disappeared, and she charged towards Lu Yuan with the Eye-less Transformation.
Lu Yuan didn't even look at her. A Ksitigarbha Needle appeared in his palm and pierced through the void. Fei wanted to dodge, but she couldn't. The needle seemed to ignore time, and it pierced through her body, nailing her to the ground. Her blood dyed the ground red.
"What did you say?" Lu Yuan stared at Wu Tian in disbelief.
Wu Tian pushed Lu Yuan away. "Let's go."
At this time, the entire third zone of Calamity's divine power lake surged towards the observation platform.
Lu Yuan let go of Wu Tian, clenched his fists, and tore through the void. He looked back and said, "Don't die." With that, he stepped into the void and disappeared.
Not far away, Lu Yin was at a loss. Why didn't he save Wu Tian?
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why didn't he take Wu Tian away?
What was the Ancestor doing?
