"Alright, let's cut to the chase. I have two things to discuss with you." Jiang Feng looked at Lu Yin seriously and was about to speak.
Jiang Chen's voice came from afar, "Dad, mom asked me to ask you if you want to cook some dishes. She'll cook them herself. There's our family's specialty smoked chicken and bacon. I haven't eaten Old Liu's braised food in a long time."
Jiang Feng nodded, "Sure, Lu Yin. Stay and have some home-cooked food. Old Liu's braised food is the best."
Lu Yin smiled, "Alright, I'll drink some wine with Uncle Jiang."
"Haha, you want to drink?
No problem. "
Jiang Feng was happy. White Cloud City often had guests, but he hadn't received Lu Yin for a long time, other than Bi Rong. He felt like he was part of the family.
"Back to the topic, the first thing is the Turbid Treasure."
Jiang Feng looked at Lu Yin seriously and took out three items. A sword, a tree branch and a black pearl, "These are my Turbid Treasures."
Lu Yin raised his hand without hesitation and a die appeared in his palm, "Eternal should be talking about this."
Jiang Feng was sizing up the die while Lu Yin was also sizing up the three items.
Undying Yushan, no, the Undying Yushan controlled by the Undying Scripture, was looking for these three items.
He heard from Jiang Chen that the black pearl could travel through time and space freely. As for the sword and the tree branch, he didn't know what they were used for.
Jiang Feng praised, "To be honest, I've only heard of Turbid Treasures. Before this, I didn't know that these three items were Turbid Treasures. When Earth's doomsday came with the appearance of these three items, I relied on the black pearl to walk step by step until I completely stabilized Earth. At that time, I didn't know the use of these three items."
"Due to certain reasons, I left the sword in the sea. Later, when Earth encountered a cosmic crisis, I realized that it was meaningless to just stabilize Earth. There are too many masters in the universe, too many powerful creatures. Any one of them could destroy Earth. In order to protect Earth, I retrieved the sword and embarked on the path of cultivation in the universe."
"My cultivation has been smooth all the way until now."
"Only when I became the Lightning Lord did I know about Turbid Treasures. Lu Yin, Turbid Treasures are very important. Eternal will not give them up."
Lu Yin said seriously, "I know, Uncle Jiang. Actually, I'm curious. You haven't broken through to the Beginning, so why did you keep looking for trouble with Eternal?
Aren't you afraid that he will steal your turbid treasure? "
Jiang Feng was helpless. "The Turbid Treasure is with me. Even if I don't make a move, he will. Instead of waiting for him to recover his strength and attack White Cloud City, why don't we take the initiative to attack? Time is of little significance to us."
Lu Yin understood, "Eternity is extremely powerful. Even if Ancestor Lu Yuan breaks through to the Primordial realm, he won't be able to stop it."
"Without the repulsion of time and space, your Primordial Space would not be able to stop the Eternity. The repulsion of the Calamity Zone is the same as the repulsion of parallel time and space. However, your Primordial Space is different. Once it repels a certain creature, the effect is quite obvious," Jiang Feng said.
Lu Yin knew this, and he had also made a comparison.
Although the Zone of E rejected humans, every time they invaded the Zone of E, even if they could not defeat the Eternals, they would still be able to return unscathed. This was because the Zone of E's rejection was not severe. For example, Lu Tianyi could still fight against the Seven Skygods even after being rejected by the Zone of E. At most, he would be at a disadvantage, but it would not be as severe as when the Seven Skygods entered the Primordial Space. It was so severe that Lu Tianyi was able to fend off all the Seven Skygods by himself.
At the time, Lu Yin hadn't understood, but now he did.
It was because of the Fifth Continent. The Fifth Continent originated from the Primogenitor, and its core was the Primordial Dust.
In the Primordial Space, due to the Fifth Continent and the Sixth Continent, not only did space reject powerful enemies, but it also contained the Primogenitor's power.
Lu Yin could use the continent in his heart to suppress the Seven Skygods with the mortal world as the core, so the Primogenitor's continent was naturally even more powerful.
Very few people could sense this, but Lu Yin could clearly sense it. This was because he had walked the same path as the Primogenitor.
Only when he walked this path in the Mirage Domain did he understand why the Primogenitor had created the six continents. He also understood why the Eternals wanted to destroy the continents even though they had clearly won.
It was because the continents were the Primogenitor's power. If the six continents were intact, the Primogenitor's power would be terrifying.
Destroying the continents one by one was the Eternals' goal.
Compared to destroying the continents, the lives of the Three Realms and Six Daos were not as important.
As a result, the Seven Skygods could not enter the Primordial Space with their full strength. They could only use their Quasi Ancestor clones. At the very least, Quasi Ancestor clones would not be rejected.
In comparison, the Eternals clearly had not walked this path. The rejection of the Zone of E could only be regarded as the rejection of the Zone of E's spacetime. It was fundamentally different from the Primordial Space.
"The other thing is about that butterfly." Jiang Feng's expression grew even more serious.
Lu Yin also focused. Even Patriarch Lu Yuan did not know the butterfly's origins. Hongyan Mavis and the others only knew that the butterfly had appeared in the First Continent during the Above Heaven era and had been chased away by the Primogenitor. They did not know its origins or purpose.
Lu Yin had not expected Jiang Feng to know.
Jiang Feng was actually about the same age as Lu Yin. After all, Lu Yin was Lu Xiaoxuan's age.
However, if one considered the parallel spacetime where the flow of time was different, then it was unknown.
Jiang Feng had lived in the Five Spirit Races for a long time, while Lu Yin had stayed in the Mirage Domain for a long time.
"Back when I made a name for myself as the Lightning Lord and became famous in the Outer Realms, that butterfly came looking for me. She called herself Heaven's Grace, which meant that she was gracing me on behalf of the heavens," Jiang Feng recalled.
"She wants to bestow me with grace, allowing me to live forever and become a unique existence in this universe."
Lu Yin did not understand. What did that mean?
Jiang Feng looked at Lu Yin. "You don't understand, do you? Actually, I don't understand either. But on Earth, there's a saying that no free lunch will fall from the sky. If it did, and it hit you, then it might not be a good thing, so I rejected her.
"That butterfly came looking for me three times, but I rejected her all three times. She never came looking for me again."
"I had almost forgotten about her, but the battle with Eternity was when I lured the Primordial Thunder Locusts to the First Disaster Domain. It was also when you guys surrounded and killed Ruins. Eternity mentioned Heaven's Grace and threatened me that I had to accept it or I would be doomed. I don't know what Heaven's Grace has to do with him, and he didn't say anything.
"Not only did he want me to accept Heaven's Grace, but he also wanted me to hand over the turbid treasure. What a joke. And during the battle just now, he brought it up again and asked me if I should reject Heaven's Grace. I've already rejected him several times, and I can tell that he cares a lot about that butterfly."
Jiang Feng looked at Lu Yin. "That's everything I know about that butterfly."
Lu Yin was confused. The only piece of information he could gather from these words was that the Sole True God had been in contact with the butterfly for a long time. Perhaps the Sole True God had asked the butterfly to do the Lightning Lord's favor, but that butterfly was definitely not an Everlasting.
And who was this Substitute Heaven's Grace referring to?
Lu Yin thought of Karma for some reason, and the word 'slave' appeared on his forehead. What kind of person could use Karma as a slave?
Karma was extremely powerful.
He was strong enough to control colossal giants and create a Giant Hell. He even made the Corpse God fear him. If it were not for Karma, they would not have succeeded in killing the Corpse God. The Corpse God would not have been able to self-destruct and escape.
One was a slave, and the other was a Substitute Heaven. Lu Yin felt that there was a connection.
Grand elder Dan Gu's words also repeated in his head. An existence, an omnipotent existence that could erase everything, including the seniors that grand elder Dan Gu looked up to. Those seniors were at least at the Primordial realm, but they had still been erased. What was that existence?
Lu Yin stood up and looked at the sky. He felt like a hand was approaching him, and it was deeper and more terrifying than the Eternals.
He was gradually beginning to see the truth.
If he wanted to uncover it, that butterfly was a very good choice.
"Uncle Jiang, have you ever fought with that butterfly?" Lu Yin asked.
Jiang Feng shook his head. "It was very polite, and its voice was so gentle. How could I fight with it?"
Lu Yin thought about it and realized that it made sense. During the first battle of Calamity Realm, the butterfly had stopped both sides from fighting. Even though it had openly joined the Eternals, its voice was still so gentle, and it kept saying that it was thinking for the sake of humanity.
Its reasoning sounded disgusting, but its politeness was not lacking at all. It was very difficult to directly attack.
There was no enmity between them.
Jiang Feng stood up. "How old are you, Lu Yin?"
Lu Yin thought about it. "Over a hundred."
Jiang Feng laughed. "Only a hundred? That's very young."
In the cultivation world, a hundred years was indeed very young.
"A hundred years? Even if you've cultivated for a hundred years, it's not even a drop in the ocean compared to the flow of time. However, your accomplishments are enough to sever the river of time and change the history of an entire era. What are you dissatisfied with?" Jiang Feng asked.
Lu Yin did not understand. "Dissatisfied?"
Jiang Feng looked at him. "I can see the heaviness in you. You're still young, and there are many things that you don't need to carry. You've already taken your revenge, and your enemies are also there. Many things will still happen no matter how hard you try. Why must you see it clearly?"
"Back then, I had reached the height of unifying the Earth, but I was still schemed against and lost all my cultivation. I couldn't predict this step, and the one who recovered my cultivation was my old enemy. I couldn't predict this step either. There are too many things in a person's life that cannot be predicted. You can't predict everything. Who can see the future in the long river of time?
Even the fate of your spacetime is limited. Where is the future of the future? Don't live too tirelessly. When you can't control the laws of the universe, it's fine to follow them. "
Lu Yin stared blankly into the distance. Jiang Feng was not the only one who had advised him about this. Many others had advised him not to think too much about it, but could he really not think about it?
His life was too tiring. His smile in front of others was just a mask to hide his bitterness behind. However, the cries of the Fifth Mainland and the endless support were real.
"Uncle Jiang, everyone on Earth worships you, right?" Lu Yin murmured.
Jiang Feng smiled. "When you don't have the ability, live for yourself. When you have the ability, live for others. But don't make yourself suffer. Humans are humans. No matter how great I am, I've never thought about carrying the word 'saint'."
Lu Yin looked at him and smiled. "I've never thought about it either. I'll do my best."
"Come, let's eat. Your aunt's cooking is delicious."
"And Old Liu's braised food?"
"And our family's smoked chicken and cured meat."
