"I don't know if I'm right or not. If there are gains, then there are losses. Using the Wordless Heavenly Book to break through might not lead to a great calamity, but the threat to him might be greater than any other calamity. It all depends on what he thinks."
Everyone discussed.
Gradually, a phantom appeared outside the True God Heaven Switching Technique.
Lu Yin saw it. Was that a parallel universe?
Was it the same as breaking through in the mortal world?
Impossible. How could two completely different Ancestral Realms have the same calamity?
In fact, outside of the Primordial Space, most parallel universes did not have any calamities when breaking through to the Progenitor realm. Lu Yin did not walk the Astral Path, and even in the Primordial Space, he might not have encountered any calamities. However, he had walked his own path, and this path would lead to calamities everywhere.
The more unique one's path was, the more difficult the calamities would be to bear.
Lu Yin looked at the phantom outside the True God Heaven Switching Technique. Come, the heavier the calamities, the better. It would be best if they could break through the True God Heaven Switching Technique.
Gradually, the phantom became clearer and clearer.
Lu Yin's eyes widened. Was that the Fifth Mainland?
Not only him, but Lu Yuan and the others also saw it. The phantom was not a parallel universe, but a Fifth Mainland. As the Fifth Mainland approached, it disappeared, and what appeared in front of them were countless people. They did not see Lu Yin's group at all.
This was just a phantom, a mere phantom. Perhaps it was a scene that was happening in a certain location on the Fifth Mainland.
The golden light still shone on Lu Yin's face, but as the figures became clearer, he saw a different scene.
He saw the ugliness of the human world, the scenes that could only happen in the dark corners of the world.
"Child, do it. Kill him, and we'll be able to obtain that technique."
"But, Father, this person is a good person. He saved me."
"There are no good people in this world. Do it. Kill him. Kill him."
…
"My Lord, this lowly one is innocent. This lowly one did not kill this family. Please investigate."
"Hehe, if I say it's you, then it's you. There's no one else. It's useless to beg anymore. Unless …"
"Unless what?"
"Unless you have enough money to buy your life."
"My Lord, this lowly one has an eighty-year-old mother and a wife to support. Where would I get the money?"
"Then it's you. Drag him out and execute him.
"My Lord, please investigate....."
"Well done, Lord Hui."
"Don't worry, Young Master. Only you and I know about this."
"Hehe, I won't treat you unfairly. Now that I think about it, that little girl was really alluring. I killed her too early."
"Young Master, I know a family whose young lady is even more alluring."
"Really?
Hurry up and bring me there. Don't worry, I won't mistreat you. "
"Young Master, please."
…
"Welcome back, Master."
"I have been in seclusion for thirteen years. It has been hard on my disciples."
"To serve Master, we disciples are willing to die ten thousand deaths."
"Hmm, since that's the case, there's one last thing I need my disciples to do."
"Master, please instruct me."
"Give it to me as a blood sacrifice."
"Master, master, please spare this disciple's life. This disciple doesn't want to die."
"Master, I'm Hong 'er. Master …"
"There's no other way. I've suffered from cultivation deviation, and I can only exchange your blood for a technique. Rest in peace. Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people are enough. Sigh, I still need to recruit more disciples. How troublesome."
Voices traveled into Lu Yin's ears, and he heard them. He also saw the countless ugly sides of the world. Gradually, the golden light that shone on his face dimmed.
Lu Yuan and the others stared at this scene. How could this be?
Wu Tian's expression turned solemn. "As expected, it's a tempering of the heart. The mortal world is full of evil, and he has been recognized by time and space. The prayers of all living beings can become his strength, but there is also an evil side.
Lu Yuan and the others only saw human figures, but what Lu Yin saw was a dark and cruel scene. The distortion of human nature and the depravity of the world's morals flooded into his mind and replaced all of his thoughts. The golden radiance dimmed, and it was no longer warm. Instead, it became dark, lonely, and cold.
More and more dark and strange things appeared before Lu Yin's eyes, and he couldn't see the light. All he could see were pairs of venomous and hateful eyes. It was as if he could see blood-stained arms grabbing at him, and it made it difficult for him to breathe.
'I hate, why do you want to kill me?
I saved him. Humans shouldn't be like this, they shouldn't be like this. '
'I have a mother, a wife, and a son. How can I die? I didn't kill that family. How can I bear such a stain?
How will my mother, wife, and son live? '
'Master, we've treated you like a father and mother. Why are you like this?'
'I hate, is this human nature?'
'If there's an afterlife, I don't want to be a human. The human heart is sinister, and even if I'm a human, I want to be the most evil person. I won't let the world betray me.'
'If there's an afterlife, I want to be that young master. What's wrong with killing people?'
'If there's an afterlife, I'll slaughter everyone …'
'If there's an afterlife …'
The golden light around Lu Yin had almost completely dissipated. Countless voices and images filled his mind, and he felt the worst pain in the world. He clutched his head and muttered to himself, "If there's an afterlife, I'll be that young master. If there's an afterlife, I'll be that lord. If there's an afterlife, I'll be that master. I'll be that father and son who repaid kindness with enmity.
Lu Yin raised his head to the sky and roared.
Lu Yuan wanted to rush over, but he was stopped by Wu Tian. "Don't go. He's the only one who can survive this situation. Since he has the support of countless people and has countless people praying for him, he has to bear the karma. It's something that neither you nor I can do anything about. Even if you help him this time, he'll still fall into the abyss next time."
Lu Yuan's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth. "Little Seven, get through it. Get through it."
The darkest thing in the world was human nature. The Eternals used emotions as their weakness and saw through human nature, which was why they had won. Lu Yin had survived calamity after calamity. Even if spacetime overlapped and disappeared, even if there were endless calamities in the universe, he could still survive because he wasn't alone. He had too many people supporting him. Even if the parallel spacetime wanted to crush him, there would be countless people supporting him, causing the Primordial Space to crash into the many parallel spacetime.
After enjoying the consequences, he had to bear the cause.
Lu Yin knelt on one knee as sweat dripped down his face. His pupils dilated, but this wasn't something that could be suppressed by his battle prowess. As long as he was human, as long as there was right and wrong, good and evil, this pain would become even more obvious. The kinder a person was, the more evil they would be when they committed evil.
Lu Yin had always stuck to his bottom line, but what he saw and heard at this moment had crossed that line.
He seemed to have become that father and son, that young master, that lord, and that master. Once he fell, he would be even more evil than these people. He would no longer be Lu Yin.
This was what it meant to temper one's heart.
Breaking through to Ancestral Break in the Primordial Space required one to temper one's heart. Lu Yin had broken through to Ancestral Break in the Mortal Era and had broken through to Ancestral Break countless times, but he had never encountered it. He had thought that it was just a calamity in the Primordial Space, but in reality, it had always been there, waiting for him.
He had become one of the thousands of evil people in the universe, and he had done all kinds of evil. That calamity had mostly come from himself, and he had been unable to bring himself out of the abyss. That bottom line that he had always stuck to was like a rope that wanted to hang him to death.
More and more voices rang out, and more and more.
Lu Yin closed his eyes for a moment before suddenly opening them again. He punched the ground, causing the earth to crack.
"Whether it's good or evil, this is human nature. I can enjoy the good side of human nature, but I can also face the evil side."
"So what if it's evil? So what if human nature is dark?
I've always believed that the good in human nature outweighs the evil. I've seen too much beauty in the world: family, love, friendship. I've seen fathers and sons die for humanity. I've seen husbands and wives die without regrets. I've seen heroes die on the battlefield but smile at the world. "
"You want to replace the good in human nature with these sinister things?
How preposterous! Disperse! "
With a furious roar, Lu Yin stood up and waved his right hand. The darkness dissipated, and the light enveloped him. However, it was not enough. The deep darkness transformed into pairs of evil eyes that closed in on him, wanting to bury him.
Lu Yin took a deep breath and looked up at the Wordless Heavenly Book. He slowly said, "I've received the prayers of all living beings. Whether it's good or evil, I'll listen to them all. I'm willing to use the good of all living beings to spend my entire life in order to transcend the boundless evil. Disperse!"
The Wordless Heavenly Book's golden light suddenly erupted, piercing through the sky and the True God Heaven Switching Technique. It shot towards the Fifth Mainland, the entire Primordial Space, and even the Hexagon Society.
Within the Primordial Space, everyone looked up at the golden light that had erupted from the depths of the universe. When they saw Lu Yin, they all bowed in excitement. "Greetings, Path Master."
"Greetings, Path Master."
"Greetings, Path Master."
…
'I've received the prayers of all living beings. Whether it's good or evil, I'll listen to them all. I'm willing to use the good of all living beings to spend my entire life in order to transcend the boundless evil.'
'I've received the prayers of all living beings. Whether it's good or evil, I'll listen to them all. I'm willing to use the good of all living beings to spend my entire life in order to transcend the boundless evil.'
'I've received the prayers of all living beings. Whether it's good or evil, I'll listen to them all. I'm willing to use the good of all living beings to spend my entire life in order to transcend the boundless evil.'
…
Lu Yin's voice entered everyone's ears. Countless people trembled and knelt down. They faced Lu Yin and said, "Thank you, Path Master."
"Thank you, Path Master."
"Thank you, Path Master."
…
At the bottom of the Heavenly Sect's staircase, the cauldron became more solid. It flowed with brilliance and was slightly different from before.
Humans could feel Lu Yin's intentions. The Wordless Heavenly Book had brought about the evil of all living beings. However, evil was also a part of human nature. There was more good. Lu Yin was willing to bear the evil and resolve the boundless evil, redeeming people to do good.
From the very beginning, Lu Yin was not that kind of person. Most of the time, he would rather only care about himself. Redeeming people to do good had nothing to do with him, and he had never thought of doing it.
However, now that he had reached this height, what he saw and what he had to bear was different.
In the past, it could be said that he did not receive the kindness of all living beings. At most, he would protect humans as much as he could. This was his responsibility as a human.
However, all living beings had protected him, and they would protect him even more in the future. He had to bear this responsibility.
At this moment, Lu Yin was sacred. His light enveloped the entire Hexagon Sect. Everyone could feel it. Even the Immemorial Ancient City Battlefield could feel the warmth brought by that light.
For a moment, the Eternals were stunned.
