Even if the Sole True God wanted to kill experts who had surpassed grand elder Shan Gu so easily, it would be quite impossible. No, those who had surpassed grand elder Shan Gu were at the Primordial realm at the very least. It was impossible for the Sole True God to kill experts at that level so easily.
Elder Shan Gu's words were too strange. There should not be such an existence, and if there really was one, what were they doing right now?
Lu Yin did not rush Elder Shan Gu and allowed him to calm down. Lu Yin also needed some time to calm himself down.
He could tell that Elder Shan Gu was telling the truth. Such a powerhouse had lost control of his emotions just because of his memories. Was there really a ruler in this universe who viewed everyone as ants?
Was that person a human or something else?
Lu Yin finally understood why the Lost Clan had such an attitude towards the Everlasting Race. He had always felt that the Lost Clan lacked something. Now that he thought about it, it was their competitive spirit. They did not have the determination to fight the Everlasting Race. No matter how many battles they participated in, the entire Lost Clan could only passively participate under Elder Shan Gu's influence. Elder Shan Gu was afraid because he had placed his past on the current Everlasting Race and humans.
He was afraid that after eradicating the Everlasting Race, an unimaginable existence would appear and return this universe to its original path. He had experienced the joy of victory, and countless people had fought for it for countless years. He had experienced the excitement of victory, but it had been instantly sent to hell and he had lost everything.
He had also stayed in this universe for many, many years, and he did not want to experience it again.
The conflict between humans was just an excuse. He was afraid of losing the Six-Direction Society and everything he had seen. Perhaps he was also afraid of that existence.
Just as he had said, that existence was omnipotent.
Then what about himself?
If such an existence really existed, what would happen to the Primordial Space, the Abode One Above, and himself?
Several days later, Elder Shan Gu appeared in front of Lu Yin again. He had already recovered, and he looked at Lu Yin apologetically. "Master Lu, I'm sorry. There are some things that I didn't want to talk about, but I did."
Lu Yin raised a hand and stopped Elder Shan Gu from speaking. He smiled. "Elder, what is the purpose of living?"
Elder Shan Gu was stunned. He had thought that Lu Yin would be as dejected as he was. After all, if such an existence really existed, then all of humanity's struggles would be meaningless.
"Do you think I'm lying to you?"
Lu Yin shook his head and clasped his hands behind his back. "Of course not. I know that you're telling the truth."
"Then you?"
"Why are you still laughing?"
Great Elder Dan Gu looked at Lu Yin, but he did not understand what he was laughing about. How many years had this matter been weighing down on his heart and the entire Lost Clan, causing them to live like ants?
Among the Six Direction Guilds, the Lost Clan was definitely not the weakest, but they were the most low-key.
They had escaped. They had an inferiority complex.
Lu Yin stretched lazily. "Life and death, this is a very serious topic. Life represents the beginning, and death represents the end. Great Elder, are you afraid of death?"
"Of course not!" Great Elder Shan Gu blurted out. If he was afraid of death, there wouldn't have been a bloody battle back then.
Lu Yin shrugged. "Then that's fine. You're not even afraid of death, so what are you afraid of?
Are you afraid that everything you do will be meaningless?
Are you afraid that the person you reunite with will die again?
Were they afraid that the human race would perish?
To be honest, this is none of your business. "
Great Elder Shan Gu was stunned. Lu Yin's words were too rude.
No one had ever spoken to him like this. His temperament gave people the feeling that he was an otherworldly expert. When he had first met Lu Yin, he had intimidated Lu Yin and had even said a bunch of things that extreme powerhouses could not do. This had given Lu Yin time to think. Such a person should be a teacher, a senior expert, and someone who would be respected by others.
However, he had never expected that one day, a young man would say to him, "What does this have to do with you?"
Lu Yin looked at Great Elder Shan Gu in amusement. "Senior, aren't you thinking too much?
Are you the savior of humanity?
Do you have the responsibility to save all of humanity?
Just take care of yourself. If that existence wants to set the trajectory, that's his business. You're unlucky to have met him, but we might not be so unlucky. Even if we were unlucky, we've already met him. If we die, everything will end. What does the rest have to do with you? "
"Aren't you thinking too much?
Or are you worried that the Lost Clan will be exterminated as well?
If that's the case, then the Lost Clan might as well commit suicide. After all, we're all under someone else's control. "
Great Elder Shan Gu stared at Lu Yin in a daze.
Lu Yin continued, "Is that existence something you can deal with?
Is it something we can deal with?
Since no one can, then let him be. If he really appears one day and wants our lives, then we'll just give it to him. Is there a need to be so scared?
You don't even dare to connect with other civilizations. Great Elder, are you getting old?
The older you get, the more afraid you are of death? "
Lu Yin's words were not polite, but he was actually venting. If there really was such an existence as Great Elder Shan Gu had described, who would not be afraid?
It would be strange if they were not afraid. Lu Yin was also afraid, but what could he do?
Was he supposed to do nothing like Great Elder Shan Gu and just play with the Eternals?
To kill time?
Wait until he died and leave the problem to the future generations?
Lu Yin could not do that.
"Master Lu, if we destroy the Eternals one day, and that existence appears to wipe out all of humanity, then the trajectory of the universe will be redrawn. What should we do then?"
Great Elder Dan Gu asked as he stared at Lu Yin. This was a question that he had pondered for a very long time. He had always wondered what he would do if he were to return to his hometown and meet his seniors, old friends, and comrades.
Would he stop them?
Lu Yin sighed. "If we can beat them, then we'll fight them. If we can't, then we'll curse them and die."
Great Elder Shan Gu was stunned. Curse them? Curse them?
Lu Yin smiled. "As a person, one should have a clear conscience. Who cares if they have other enemies? Who cares if there's an omnipotent existence? How many of our seniors have fought to the death with the Eternals?
Burial Garden, the Boundless Expanse, those skeletons, those sounds of battle … Are they just for fun?
Just for fun? "
"I want to destroy the Eternals. Even if the final price is mutual destruction, it's still better than being tortured to death by the Eternals. I want to be worthy of those who participated in the war, and those who died for humanity. Perhaps I'll be one of them, but one day, that omnipotent existence will be destroyed. It's not like he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. I don't believe that he's invincible from the moment he's born.
Great Elder Shan Gu had a complicated look in his eyes. He had thought about this for many years, but the more he thought about it, the more he realized that his words were meaningless.
That existence could erase everything, and it was truly omnipotent.
Lu Yin frowned. This old man was really stubborn. But then again, after living for so many years, he had heard all sorts of things. Lu Yin's own words were nothing special. "I've met the Primogenitor."
Great Elder Shan Gu was shocked, and he looked at Lu Yin in astonishment. "The Primogenitor of the Primordial Space?"
Lu Yin nodded. "He said that there is no limit to the universe.
If there's no limit, then it's not in line with the laws of the universe. The existence you're talking about is already a kind of limit. Do you think such an existence can really play around with the universe and be omnipotent? "
"If that's the case, then what's the point of the universe existing?"
Great Elder Shan Gu's body trembled. There was no limit? Was there really no limit?
"Everything has its own counter. If that existence you speak of is omnipotent, then why did the enemies of your homeworld appear?
Why did the Eternals appear in our universe?
He might be very strong, so strong that no one can resist him, but there must be a limit. "
Lu Yin was certain, and he looked at Great Elder Shan Gu. "Perhaps you defeated the enemies of your homeworld and placed some kind of restriction on him, which is why he destroyed your homeworld. You can't see it, but that doesn't mean that it didn't happen. Perhaps he doesn't see you as ants and doesn't care if you escape, but rather that he doesn't have the ability to kill you."
Great Elder Shan Gu wanted to refute this, but he couldn't find a reason to do so. Everything was just his own guess.
Lu Yin stared at Great Elder Shan Gu. "Do you know what realm the Primogenitor is at?"
Great Elder Shan Gu shook his head. "I don't know."
Lu Yin's expression turned cold. "Eternal life."
"Impossible. There are no eternal powerhouses in this universe," Great Elder Shan Gu blurted out.
Lu Yin laughed. "The Primogenitor alone suppressed everything in this universe. He controlled the Sequence of Strings."
Great Elder Shan Gu's pupils shrank. Others might not understand. Even if Void Master and Wood God knew about the selection of sequences, they might not understand what it meant to control the Sequence of Strings. However, Great Elder Shan Gu knew. In his hometown, there had been a grand war that revolved around the Sequence of Strings of the universe. The last war was also related to it.
"The Primogenitor controlled the Sequence of Strings?"
Lu Yin's voice was low. "That is the origin or end of all the Sequence of Strings. In short, the Primogenitor alone controlled it. Otherwise, the Eternals would have already destroyed this universe. Why do you think the Primogenitor didn't appear?"
Great Elder Shan Gu was shocked. He had always thought that the Primogenitor of the Primordial Space was dead. This opinion came from the Grand Empyrean. He had never come into contact with the Primordial Space and had never seen the era of the Above Heavens.
Now, Lu Yin was saying that if the Primogenitor really controlled the Sequence of Strings, then he might really be an eternal powerhouse.
There was actually such a powerhouse in this universe.
Lu Yin suddenly raised a finger, which startled Great Elder Dan Gu. "Once."
Great Elder Shan Gu was confused.
Lu Yin raised another finger. "Twice."
Then, he raised a third finger. "Thrice."
"You destroyed the trajectory set by that existence again and again. Do you think he is really safe?"
Great Elder Shan Gu stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin gritted his teeth. "I don't believe it. There is no limit in this universe. This is what the Primogenitor said. Limits go against the universe. If there is a limit, then there will be restrictions. Your homeworld won once, and that existence took action. The restrictions must have affected him. If you win again, or even twice, even if you can't kill him, you can still take revenge."
"Great Elder, the blood of your comrades will never be cold. They need to be poured on that existence's face. Even if you can't kill him, you need to disgust him. We in this universe will accompany you. Even if the human race is destroyed, even if the universe is rebooted, we will do our best."
