"It's good that you've comprehended it, but it's still not enough. I hope that one day, you'll have an epiphany and jump out of the books and history to look forward to the future."
Lu Yin patted Tuo Lin's shoulder and said seriously, "Everyone has to walk their own path. Astral-10's Dean, Shaochen, walked the path of the mortal world and was crazy for a long time. Once he gained enlightenment and reached the Progenitor realm, even the Eternals fear him.
"The Judge of the Interstellar Arbitration, who is your Uncle Qing Ping, fought in the Endless Battlefield and experienced countless life and death situations. He jumped out of the shackles of thought and challenged the rules with the rules. He walked his own path, and even the Eternals fear him.
"The path your master is walking now is unprecedented. As my disciple, I also hope that you can walk a brand new path, a path that even the extremely brilliant era of the Celestial Sect did not walk."
Tuo Lin's breathing quickened, and his entire face flushed red. He was abnormally excited, "Don't worry, Master. I understand. I won't let you down and walk my own path. You can leave the great responsibility of saving humanity to me in the future."
Lu Yin nodded and looked quite satisfied.
He swept his gaze across the courtyard, "Then, tell me what you've seen."
Tuo Lin excitedly showed Lu Yin what he had learned from reading over the years.
He had read for a total of twenty-three years. Twenty-three years was not a long time for the current Lu Yin. A trip to the outer realms could be completed in any parallel spacetime with a different flow of time. However, Tuo Lin was just an ordinary person, and twenty-three years was a long time for him.
Fortunately, Lu Yin had the Second Nightking take care of him. Even though he did not cultivate, his appearance was still the same as when Lu Yin had first met him. Back in the Reincarnation Spacetime, the She Sheng had also helped him adjust.
Several hours passed in the blink of an eye. Seeing Tuo Lin's excited expression, Lu Yin could not bear to disturb him.
No matter what, this was his disciple, and a disciple who could not cultivate and had been deceived by him. Lu Yin still felt some heartache.
"Master, do you know which book I like the most?
It's this one, the teachings of the Guye family. "Tuo Lin handed over a tattered book that had clearly weathered many hardships to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin took it. The Guye family?
He had never heard of them.
He casually flipped through the information and found that the Guye family was just a family from a weave in the Outerverse. They weren't even qualified to enter the Above Heaven's Sect.
"The Guye Clan is just like their name. They are very stubborn. Master, do you know?
They have been exterminated five times and are still alive. "Tuo Lin said.
Lu Yin was shocked. "Five exterminations?"
Tuo Lin nodded and said with a tone of admiration, "Five exterminations. Each time, there would only be one or two clansmen left. They tried their best to escape and survive. One of them hid in a septic tank in a mortal city and escaped. Another clansman broke his own limbs and escaped. There was one clansman …"
"In short, the Guye Clan used unimaginable perseverance to survive five extermination crises. Even now, they still exist. The most ridiculous thing is that they never hid their experiences and wrote them all down here. Even ordinary people wouldn't be able to accept these experiences, but the ancestors of the Guye Clan wrote them down as a warning to the younger generation."
"It's all because of their family teachings. It's also my favorite line in their family teachings."
Tuo Lin was silent for a moment, and then his expression turned solemn. "Only by living can one live."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. Only by living can one live?
It seemed simple and even nonsensical, but it gave him a sense of enlightenment.
Only by living can one live. Yes, only by living can one live.
The more he experienced, the more he understood this line.
"The Guye Clan relied on this ancestral teaching to survive time and time again. They never gave up. Master, I will learn from them and live on with determination. I will pass the trials and step into cultivation to become the disciple that you are most proud of." Tuo Lin was excited.
Lu Yin looked deeply at Tuo Lin. He had wanted to change the test and was afraid that Tuo Lin would become stupid from reading too much. However, seeing Tuo Lin like this, he decided to continue.
"Master believes that you can do it. The universe has countless parallel spacetimes and countless people. Master believes that you are the only savior. Walk your own path. In the future, Master will rely on you."
"Don't worry, Master." Tuo Lin was more determined than anyone else.
Lu Yin walked out of the courtyard. The Second Nightking was already standing there, waiting for orders.
"Take care of the Guye Clan."
"Yes, Path Master." The Second Nightking bowed and retreated.
Lu Yin returned to the astral gate. "Let's go."
Elder Chan and Leng Qing did not know what had happened, but when they saw Lu Yin's expression, they were clearly relieved.
Leng Qing was the first to step through the astral gate, followed by Elder Chan, and then Lu Yin.
After passing through the eighth astral gate, a dark starry sky appeared before them. It was a very normal starry sky with planets, meteorites, and constellations. It was not much different from the Fifth Mainland's starry sky.
However, Lu Yin felt that it was somewhat familiar, but he could not place it.
"Look around and be careful. Don't get ambushed."
Lu Yin instructed them. The astral gates that Mister Mu had given to them corresponded to powerful civilizations or individuals that could fight against the Eternals. If such a civilization was valued by Mister Mu, then they would naturally be targeted by the Eternals.
Once the civilization in this spacetime was destroyed, the chances of them encountering the Eternals were very high.
At first, Lu Yin's group was very careful and restrained their auras as they searched through the starry sky. As time passed, they did indeed discover the Eternal Kingdom in this spacetime, but there was not a single Progenitor within.
When Lu Yin saw a meteorite, he finally remembered why this spacetime seemed so familiar.
This was the same space that he had used to travel to the Fourth Region of Calamity. It was here that he had killed Daihui and Silent Void and encountered a civilization that had been defeated by the Eternals.
In order to protect themselves, that civilization had given up on their physical bodies and transferred their consciousness into the game. They had used the meteorite as a medium to escape with the help of the remaining Progenitor. Lu Yin had communicated with that Progenitor, and he had not made things difficult for them.
Now, he saw that meteorite again.
However, the game world within the meteorite still existed, but that Progenitor and the people within the game world had all disappeared. Only the characters and scenes that had been set up by the game remained.
Lu Yin looked at the meteorite in front of him. How could this be?
Their consciousness was gone, which meant that they had clearly been killed. Was it the Eternals?
Another civilization had disappeared, and it was one that he had communicated with.
Lu Yin's emotions were complicated. It would have been great if he had brought this civilization to the Genesis Space, even though they would have been unwilling.
Civilizations that had fought against the Eternals would face two choices: either escape and never meet again, or fight to the death.
The Hexagon Society and the Genesis Space belonged to the latter, while the Divine Kingdom and this civilization belonged to the former.
However, both the Divine Kingdom and this civilization had suffered the same fate. They had been completely destroyed.
No matter how intense the battle between the Genesis Space and the Eternals had been, the people of the Genesis Space were still alive and cultivating.
Running away would not solve the problem.
Suddenly, Lu Yin disappeared. He walked backward, parallel to time, and headed in a certain direction.
Since just now, he had felt that he was being watched, as if a pair of eyes had been watching him.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Yin saw that in the distance, a young man was standing behind the meteorite and staring at him. Because he had used Backward Step, everything around Lu Yin had stopped. This young man did not know that Lu Yin had arrived.
Lu Yin appeared behind this person and stopped walking backward. His surroundings returned to normal.
The young man was staring into the distance, watching Lu Yin disappear. Where was he?
He rubbed his eyes, but there was still no sign of him.
"Are you looking for me?" Lu Yin asked slowly.
The young man was startled and subconsciously moved away from Lu Yin. He asked warily, "Who are you?"
Lu Yin found it funny. "You've been staring at me, but you're asking who I am?"
The young man's eyes flickered. "What do you mean by staring at you?
Who's been staring at you? I don't even know who you are or where you came from. "
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. "Then, who are you?"
The young man slowly retreated. "Who I am has nothing to do with you. If I've disturbed you, I'm sorry." With that, he turned and left.
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "Did I say you could leave?"
The young man's expression turned cold as he stared at Lu Yin. "Brother, you're strong, but I'm not someone to be trifled with. We have no enmity, and we're just passersby. It's best if we don't cause trouble for each other."
Lu Yin said, "If we're equal in strength, then we're looking for trouble. If we're not, then what is it?"
The young man suddenly sped up and fled. Lu Yin moved, but he did not use Backward Step. He simply sped up and easily caught up with the young man.
He was very curious about this young man. This person was indeed young, even younger than him, but he was already a Progenitor. This was very strange. If he had cultivated his own strength, then he would definitely be an extraordinary talent. Even the perfect Young Master of First Meeting had relied on Reincarnation Spacetime to break through to the Progenitor realm. It was amazing that this young man had been able to do so as well.
There were not many people like First Meeting in the universe, and this young man's movements were far inferior to First Meeting's. How could such a person break through to the Progenitor realm?
The young man saw Lu Yin chase after him, and his expression turned gloomy. "Senior, there's no need to attack. I've never offended you."
"You're calling me senior now?"
"What do you want?"
"Who are you?" Lu Yin asked.
The young man gritted his teeth. Lu Yin did not know what he was doing, but he kept shuttling through the void. However, his speed was far inferior to Lu Yin's.
Lu Yin raised a hand to grab him, deliberately revealing his aura. His powerful strength suppressed the void, causing the young man to feel as if he was being crushed and torn apart.
The young man's expression changed, as he had bumped into a tough nut to crack. A vortex appeared around him, constantly pulling Lu Yin towards it while he himself headed in another direction.
Lu Yin stared at the vortex in a daze. Wasn't this the Ancestral World of Da Hui?
It was exactly the same, so how did this person have it?
This was getting more and more interesting.
Lu Yin easily destroyed the vortex and caught up with the young man again.
The young man's expression completely changed. This person was a monster, and he shouted, "Senior, this junior absolutely did not mean to offend you. Please forgive me."
"Then stop." Lu Yin raised a hand to grab the young man again. He could move very quickly, but he still wanted to try.
