After Taibai Jinxing left, Lu Yin looked at the Astral Gate in front of him. Who gave it to him?
What was behind the Astral Gate?
He wasn't afraid of an ambush from the Eternals. The Eternals only had Patriarch Xi and Patriarch Liu Hao. If he went to the other side of the Astral Gate, he would definitely bring Patriarch Lu Yuan with him. The Eternals wouldn't be able to kill him.
The most likely enemy was the human spy who had been hiding among the Eternals.
Hui Wu was only one of them. There had always been a spy among the Seven Skygods. Mister Mu was certain of this, and it was because of this spy's reminder that they could deal with the Eternals.
This was especially true when they tried to kill the Sorcerer God. If not for the spy's reminder, they wouldn't have known that the Sorcerer God was hiding in Victor's body. They wouldn't have been able to kill him.
Could it be the spy?
Lu Yin invited Patriarch Lu Yuan and stepped through the Astral Gate with him.
The moment they stepped out, they saw a dark starry sky. Far away, they could vaguely see a huge object.
Lu Yin looked into the distance, and his pupils shrank. Was that Xuwang?
He had seen Xuwang when he was fishing in the River of Time. After that, he had merged with the Elder God's body and gained some understanding of Xuwang.
Xuwang's poison was always a threat to humans. Once the Eternals extracted too much Xuwang's poison, even Sequence Law powerhouses wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Lu Yin wanted the Poison of Time to neutralize the Ice Master, Moon Immortal, and the others, but he didn't have the chance.
He hadn't expected this Astral Gate to connect to the parallel universe where Xuwang was located.
Someone appeared in another direction and slowly approached.
Lu Yin and Lu Yuan looked at the newcomer, and their expressions changed. "It really is you."
The person who appeared in front of them was Black Wushen.
Three pitch-black lines rotated in Black Wushen's eyes as he looked at Lu Yin and Lu Yuan. "I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
Lu Yin looked at Black Wushen. "Who are you?"
Black Wushen looked at Lu Yin. "You don't need to know who I am. I don't belong to your universe. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to fool the One True God."
Lu Yin was shocked. "You're not from our universe?"
"You don't need to know where I come from, and there's no need to know. Do you know the one in the distance?" Black Wushen pointed.
Lu Yin said, "Xuwang."
Black Wushen was surprised. "You know?"
"Why did you bring us here?
If Xu Wang is here, it'll be easy for the Eternals to discover him. "
Hei Wushen said, "It's not easy, because I'm the one who collected the Unreal Poison."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed as he stared at Black Wushen. "So, the Five Spirit Tribes and the March Alliance's defeat was caused by you?"
"How many years has it been? I've been collecting Illusory Saliva, but I've only given a small amount to the Eternals each time. I've told everyone that I've never collected much. Even so, after so many years, the Eternals used up all of the Illusory Poison in one fell swoop, dealing a heavy blow to the Five Spirit Tribes and the Three Moon Alliance. There was nothing I could do. If I hadn't kept most of the Illusory Poison for myself, the Five Spirit Tribes and the Three Moon Alliance wouldn't have been the only ones defeated. You and White Cloud City would have been the same."
As he spoke, he took out a black liquid from his cosmic ring. "This Illusory Poison is at least ten times more than what the Eternals used to heavily injure the Five Spirit Tribes and the March Alliance."
Lu Yin nodded. "If that's the case, why didn't you tell us beforehand that the Eternals were going to attack them?"
Hei Wushen's tone was calm: "My existence cannot be exposed unless it is a matter of life and death."
"Insignificant Five Spirit Clans and
The March Alliance can't change the overall situation. "
"Then what are we doing now?" Lu Yin asked.
Hei Wushen said, "Illusory Poison doesn't belong to this universe."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "You want to use Illusory Poison to divert the attention of the Protectors of the Four Directions?"
Hei Wushen gazed into the distance. "If it weren't for the appearance of the Protectors of the Four Directions, I still wouldn't have been exposed. The four of them are enough to keep your Above the Heavens busy. If you really want to protect the Lost Clan and wage a war against the Protectors of the Four Directions, the outcome will be difficult to predict. After all, your opponents are four Primordial Realm experts."
"Even if you give up on the Lost Clan and disregard your reputation, the Eternals will still have ways to guide the Protectors of the Four Directions to make things difficult for your Above the Heavens. Not to mention, the Protectors of the Four Directions have always been biased towards the Eternals. You don't need to doubt this. As long as they have the chance, those four will completely destroy your Above the Heavens."
Lu Yuan was confused. "Why is that?"
Hei Wushen said, "In their eyes, the Eternals have an easier time maintaining the stability of this universe. Humans, on the other hand, have too many variables. How do you think the First Continent was destroyed during the First Battle of the Divine Commandment?"
Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed. "The Protectors of the Four Directions?"
Hei Wushen said, "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, your Above the Heavens progenitor was unable to prevent the destruction of the First Continent. It should be related to the Protectors of the Four Directions. Four Primordial Realm experts against one progenitor. It should be possible."
Lu Yuan's eyes were filled with heavy killing intent. So that was the case.
Lu Yin had never thought that the Protectors of the Four Directions would be related to the destruction of the Above the Heavens.
If that was really the case, then these four had to be eliminated.
"To them, the Eternals and humans don't matter. They will help whoever is stable, and they will destroy whoever is the most variable. This is their principle," said Hei Wushen.
After that, he looked at Lu Yin. "I've come to you to tell you two things."
"First, the antidote for Illusory Poison is the Poison of Time. You have to find a way to find it."
"Second, the Eternals plan on pushing Illusory Poison into the Primordial Space."
Lu Yin's expression changed. "When?"
"Originally, they were going to do it after the Five Spirit Clans and the March Alliance were defeated. However, they didn't expect you to invade the Zone of Calamity first. Actually, it doesn't matter. The Eternals guessed that you would invade the Zone of Calamity, and they were prepared to end the battle in a draw. They were even prepared to sacrifice something in exchange for the smooth execution of the plan to push Illusory Poison into the Primordial Space after that battle.
"However, the Grand Empyrean messed up the plan and used the Six Paths of Reincarnation to seal the only True God. That was why the plan failed."
"Since there was such a plan, why didn't you tell us?
This concerns the survival of the human race, "asked Lu Yin.
Hei Wushen said, "I don't know. You're certain that the Seven Gods Heavens are helping the human race, and the Eternals guessed the same. That's why there are many things that I don't know. The others might not know either. The only ones who truly know are the Predecessor, the Ancient God, and Bai Wushen."
He then looked at Lu Yin. "I had many opportunities to kill you, but I gave you the chance to escape. You should be able to tell."
Lu Yin sighed. "Where can I find the Poison of Time?"
Hei Wushen shook his head. "I don't know. I'll tell you everything that I can, but there are some things that I won't help you with. I'm not doing this for you, but for myself. I have my own plans, and if this matter wasn't so troublesome, I wouldn't have appeared. I also hope that you won't expose my existence."
"We don't have much time. If you have any questions, hurry up and ask."
Lu Yin had long since known that the Poison of Time was the antidote to the Poison of Falsehood, but he couldn't find the Poison of Time.
Aside from the Time.
There was one other thing that could neutralize the Poison of Falsehood, and that was the fog within the mirage.
That was the fog of time, and its effects were probably even better than the Poison of Time.
However, not being able to enter the mirage was even more of a problem.
"Does the Eternals have a way to enter the mirage?" asked Lu Yin.
Hei Wushen was puzzled. "Why are you asking about the mirage?
There used to be a way to enter, but not anymore. "
"The method is very simple. You just have to tear through the void and crush a signpost. The signpost comes from the mirage, and the dust will automatically enter the mirage's space-time. You just have to follow the dust in."
"It's that simple?" Lu Yin was shocked.
Hei Wushen replied, "It's not that simple. The stones are very difficult to find. Some are real, and some are fake."
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Aren't the stones a map that points to the mirage?"
"No."
"What do you mean by 'real' and 'fake'?"
"The mirage is a mystical place. Legend has it that the Qing Luo Sword Saint broke through to the Primordial Realm in the mirage, which attracted countless people who wanted to enter and fight over the stones. Because of this, a large number of fake stones appeared during that era. They were as hard as real stones, but they couldn't enter the mirage. As a result, no one was able to find real stones after that. Even the Eternals had a hard time finding them.
Lu Yin frowned. He had two stones on him. He originally had three, but he had given one to Mister Daheng. He had thought that the stones needed to form a diagram to enter the mirage, and if he had known this earlier, he would not have given it away.
However, Mister Daheng clearly did not know about this method, or he would have tried it long ago.
Sometimes, although the method was simple, it was very difficult to think of.
"How do you differentiate between real and fake stones?"
Lu Yin asked. He could not just crush the stones one by one to test it out. Entering the mirage required finding the right time, and it could not be done randomly.
Hei Wushen was surprised. "It seems like you have a stone."
"Yes." Lu Yin did not hide it.
Hei Wushen said, "Very few people know how to differentiate real stones from fake ones, but you're lucky that I can do it. I'm one of the few people who have entered the mirage before. Out of the Eternals' ten or so top experts, less than half of them have entered the mirage."
He then took something out of his cosmic ring and tossed it to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin caught it and saw that it was a square-shaped crystal.
"There's a speck of dust inside. When I first entered the mirage, I caught it when the stone was crushed into dust. Not everything in the mirage can be used as a signpost, and it's very difficult to find one. Rely on this speck of dust to get close to the stones you have. If you can trigger this speck of dust, then it's real."
Lu Yin was delighted. "Thank you."
"There's no need to thank me. Hongyan Mavis' appearance allowed the Eternals to know that you've been to the mirage, so there's no need for me to remind you of some things that you shouldn't go to. However, as someone who has been there before, I still have to say that time is not omnipotent. There are some realms that you can't reach even if you have an eternal life. The time you spend in the mirage is just not connected to the River of Time that we exist in, but it doesn't mean that there isn't any flow of time.
"The One True God once said that there should be a River of Time that exists above all of our knowledge. The River of Time in the mirage represents our universe, or perhaps even more universes. The River of Time represents all living things, and the universe that exists since the birth of the universe. The universe here does not refer to our universe, but rather the multiverse that encompasses the myriad worlds.
"The time you spend in the mirage will always exist in the River of Time because you will never be able to escape from time."
