This was Lu Yin's first time seeing Jiang Chen like this. White Cloud City had a very good relationship with the Five Spirit Races. That was why the Eternal Race had the confidence to provoke the conflict between the Five Spirit Races and the Tri-Moon Alliance.
Now, the Eternals no longer cared about anything else because of the Divine Injunction. They only wanted to destroy the top human experts.
White Cloud City could not charge into the Domain of Disaster without any preparation. It would be easy for them to fall into the trap.
Lu Yin believed that the Eternals would be prepared.
The Divine Commandment was not a war, but a war that would wipe out an entire era. It might end in a few days, or it might not even end in tens of thousands of years.
In the era of the Above Heaven, the destruction of the four continents was not a short period of time. There was a long period of time between the destruction of each continent. The destruction of the four continents was within the scope of the first Divine Commandment.
A very long time had passed between the Above Heaven Sect and Progenitor Chen's generation in the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, and human history had been left blank for a period of time. It was not that there were no records of this era, as the Lu family did. However, there was no need to do so, as during that period of time, aside from the Daosource Sect, Shenwu Plane, and the Frigid Immortal Sect, which Lu Yin was familiar with, everyone else had been destroyed, and not a single one had survived.
Those people were worthy of remembrance and remembrance, but there was nothing left to pass on.
That was the second Battle of the Divine Commandment.
This was the third time.
The Everlasting Race had always held the initiative. Lu Yin believed that the Everlasting Race had a greater advantage than the humans, regardless of whether it was starting the war or winning every battle.
However, humans had already learned their lesson twice, and they could no longer be passive.
Lu Yin had already thought of a way to deal with Illusory Poison, and it was through his die's Enhance.
His die rolled six pips. After devouring the consciousness of the person in the Game of a Thousand Faces, Lu Yin had discovered that there was a barrier in that dark space. This barrier should correspond to a parallel space-time, and Lu Yin's consciousness should not have been able to break through it. However, things were different now, as he had devoured Ruin's consciousness. Even though it would take a long time for him to fully utilize the consciousness, it should be enough for him to break through a portion of the barrier.
Using his godly power to roll the die, his consciousness had broken through the barrier and merged with it. This was Lu Yin's method.
Based on Lu Yin's own strength, if the ball of light's radiance was stronger than his, then it would definitely be at the level of the Three Powerhouses, Six Boundless, or Seven Skygods. It was very likely that such a powerhouse would understand the Illusory Poison.
Before he had fused with Ruin's body, he hadn't checked his memories. Even if he had, he might not have been able to find the Illusory Poison. His memories were simply too vast.
Now that he was specifically looking for the Illusory Poison, he should be able to see it even if it had only been a short time since it had merged with the Seven Gods Celestial Body.
When he thought of this, Lu Yin returned to the back mountain of the Above the Sky Sect and instructed that no one was to disturb him. He raised his hand, and his die appeared. He slowly extracted his godly power from his body and allowed it to take on a form visible to the naked eye that resembled star essence formed from star energy. This way, he could rely on his godly power to roll the die.
Flicking his finger, the die spun slowly. Four points, Time Stop Space.
Lu Yin did not want to waste any time in this space, so he increased his time to a year and began to cultivate. His main focus was his consciousness, as he needed to use it right now.
The time he had spent in the Mirage Realm was too short. If he had stayed here for a longer period of time, he would have been able to completely control his consciousness.
The scene in front of him changed, and he appeared in the real world. He rolled his die once more, but this time it was three pips. He was rich, quite rich, but he hadn't thought of anything to upgrade himself with. Hold on, he suddenly remembered something.
The Seven Star Immemorial Card, Eternal Darkness. Could this be upgraded?
This card had been created by the Lost Clan, and since it had been created, it meant that it could be upgraded. If it was upgraded, would Eternal Darkness reach the level of an ancient card?
When he thought of this, Lu Yin decided to give it a try.
He placed the Eternal Darkness Card on the upper screen and then began to toss in star essence.
He had tried it once before, but he had not been able to determine whether or not the card could be upgraded. Even if it could be, the amount of star essence required to upgrade it would be far too great. The amount of star essence he had at the time was not even enough to make the card fall behind, so he had thought that it was impossible to upgrade it. But now, he was trying again.
As the star essence was tossed out, the Eternal Darkness Card moved. Lu Yin was excited, as it really could be upgraded. This meant that it could be upgraded from an Immemorial Card to an ancient card.
Lu Yin's breathing quickened. According to Elder Shan Gu, ancient cards corresponded to the Primordial Realm, which meant that he might have a way to deal with a Primordial Realm expert.
He instinctively wanted to upgrade Eternal Darkness, but he forcefully suppressed that impulse. He could not rush it. So what if he upgraded it? Even if he had an ancient card, what could he do against a Primordial Realm expert?
That was what his rationality told him, but as he looked at the Eternal Darkness Card before him, he could not suppress his desire to upgrade it.
He regretted not cultivating Eternal Darkness earlier. Eternal Darkness had its own traps, and only those who truly controlled it could activate them. Although he had been the master of Eternal Darkness all this time, he had never truly tried to control this card. He had always felt that only a corner of the ancient card belonged to him, and that this card was only a tool that Elder Shan Gu had given him to conceal himself. It did not truly belong to him.
Only now did Lu Yin realize that he had overlooked this Eternal Darkness Card.
Eternal Darkness had always been a tool for concealing the laws of the Sequence Realm or a tool for sneak attacks. It was not a true method to deal with enemies, which was Lu Yin's mistake.
However, it would not be easy for him to control Eternal Darkness. The Lost Clan's battle style did not suit him at all. They relied on traps to drag their enemies into the card and then used the traps within the card to kill their enemies.
Lu Yin, on the other hand, was more adept at fighting on his own.
If he really encountered an opponent that forced him to use sneak attacks, a single card would not be able to trap them, and they would definitely be able to escape.
Even if he upgraded Eternal Darkness to the Primordial Realm, would he be able to trap a Primordial Realm expert and prevent them from escaping?
That was clearly impossible, as Lu Yin had not reached the Primordial Realm, so he would not be able to trap them.
It might be possible to trap an expert who had not reached the Primordial Realm.
Right, Lu Yin clenched his fists. His current opponents were not even in the Primordial Realm, so how could they be considered Primordial Realm experts? They were currently at the Seven Skygods, the Three Pillars, and the Six Boundless Realms.
When he thought of this, he decided to upgrade.
The decision to upgrade was one thing, but the price was another.
Lu Yin silently calculated, and his teeth ached.
If he really wanted to upgrade Eternal Darkness to the next level, the amount of star essence he would need would be equivalent to half of his wealth.
It should be known that Lu Yin currently had 226 trillion star essence, which was more than what Lu Tianjing had at his peak. In the entire Six Direction Society, only Yi Xing could compare to him. Half of Lu Yin's wealth was equivalent to more than a trillion star essence, which was equivalent to the majority of the Four Direction Scales' wealth.
None of the Four Cardinal Scales could take out that much money on their own.
If this money was scattered throughout the Cosmic Tree Society, it would be enough to incite a war and drive countless people crazy.
Right now, he could only use it to upgrade Eternal Darkness.
It was no wonder why the star essence he had previously used had not even been enough to make the card move.
Lu Yin's heart ached, as Yi Xing was the last of the big names, and it was impossible to find another big name like Yi Xing. This was the largest amount of resources he had obtained from a single organization, and using it all up in such a short period of time made his heart ache.
But there was nothing he could do.
Lu Yin gritted his teeth, and his eyes turned red as he stared at the screen. He frantically smashed down with star essence, and the Eternal Darkness Card slowly fell to the ground.
When the Eternal Darkness Card landed on the lower screen, Lu Yin sighed, his back drenched in sweat.
In the past, the most extravagant expenditure he had ever used was to repair the Progenitor's Sword, which had only cost him 12 trillion star essence.
Lu Yin looked at the Eternal Darkness Card. "I hope you're not letting me down."
He then picked up the card.
The moment the card was taken out of the screen, the Primordial Space did not change, but the Lost Clan's spacetime that was connected to the Primordial Space underwent a huge change.
All of the exposed cards began to tremble uncontrollably.
Elder Dan Gu was shocked. What was going on?
He immediately took out his Seven Star Ancient Card, Heavenly King, only to discover that it was trembling. The other Lost Clan members did not understand this situation, but Dan Gu knew that it was a phenomenon caused by an ancient card.
Where was the ancient card?
He looked up at the starry sky, but there was nothing there.
Could it be that an ancient card had silently descended into this spacetime?
Where had it come from?
Who had brought it here?
Had someone from his hometown come?
Dan Zheng arrived. "Elder, our cards."
Elder Dan Gu raised a hand to stop Dan Zheng from speaking. "I know. Keep this a secret. Don't tell anyone else."
Dan Zheng nodded and looked at Elder Dan Gu. The elder's expression was unprecedentedly solemn, but there was also a trace of imperceptible excitement.
The Lost Clan's abnormality had not been detected by the Primordial Space. The two spacetimes had just connected, and they were not familiar with each other yet. The Lost Clan was xenophobic, and it would take a long time for them to get familiar with each other.
Lu Yin did not know that the upgrade of Eternal Darkness had shaken the entire Lost Clan.
When he entered Eternal Darkness, he discovered that it was not much different from before. It was still as dark as before, so dark that it was difficult to breathe. This darkness was much deeper than Mo Shang's Dark Sequence Laws, and it was even deeper than the Void Realm.
Lu Yin believed that if Old Freak Mo entered Eternal Darkness again, his Dark Sequence Laws would be devoured.
However, this alone was not very useful to Lu Yin. He needed to truly understand Eternal Darkness, or the upgrade would be a waste.
Furthermore, if Eternal Darkness could be upgraded, then the other cards of the Lost Clan would naturally be able to as well.
Elder Dan Gu's Heavenly King Card could do the same, and the cost would not be any less than Eternal Darkness's. Once it was upgraded, it would mean that Elder Dan Gu could rely on this card to fight against a Primordial Realm expert.
This was undoubtedly good news, but whether Lu Yin would upgrade the card or not was another question.
The Lost Clan was xenophobic, and Elder Dan Gu had experienced despair before. Although Lu Yin had convinced him to join the Above Heaven Sect to fight against the Eternals, Lu Yin was not sure how much he would do for the humans of this spacetime.
Helping Elder Dan Gu upgrade the card and expending all of his own resources, or not helping Elder Dan Gu upgrade the card and keeping these resources for his own use was a choice.
Lu Yin thought about it for a while and then decided to put this matter aside for now since he still needed to use Possession.
Fusing with the body of a Seven Skygods would definitely consume a lot of resources. Even if he wanted to help Elder Dan Gu upgrade the card, he would need to leave behind enough star essence for himself.
