Lu Yin appeared in the courtyard with a solemn expression. If he wasn't mistaken, was that Destiny?
Mister Undying and Destiny were the same person?
How could this be?
The situation in the forbidden land of the mirage had led Lu Yin and Hongyan Mavis to believe that Destiny was fake, but the Primogenitor was certain that Destiny was real.
At that time, Lu Yin had guessed that the Primogenitor and the Three Realms Six Paths were two different people.
But didn't Destiny herself know?
Why were there two?
The seven sword edges just now had pierced into the river of time, striking at his past self. Fate wanted to use this to erase his past self. Although the possibility of success was not high, it was just like Papercut. Once the power of time overlapped, the one to bear the brunt of the damage was himself.
When Destiny walked out and struck the seven swords, Mister Undying could have used Papercut to attack him, but she didn't.
It wasn't because she cared about him, but rather because she had her own motives.
The Immortal Radish Flower fell in front of Lu Yin as he watched the red flower rain. Bai Xianer's corpse dissipated into red motes of light.
In the end, she was just a clone of Undying.
The Progenitor's Sword in Lu Yin's hand also disappeared. It would appear in the future.
The red flower rain shook the Astral Tree Realm.
The Lu family's Forefather Tianyi, Lu Qi, and the others all came out to search for Bai Xianer.
Lu Yin explained the situation to the Lu family, and the Astral Tree Realm finally calmed down.
Long Xi watched the red flower rain slowly disappear. This was the beginning of everything, and it also represented the end.
Bai Xianer was finally dead. That woman had suppressed everyone and made it hard for her to breathe. The only one who could kill her was Brother Xiaoxuan.
…
Lu Yin left the Astral Tree Realm and found Wu Tian.
Wu Tian was now in Immemorial City, guarding the Primogenitor at all times.
Lu Yin looked for Wu Tian to ask about Destiny's Law.
"Destiny's Law?"
Wu Tian thought about it. "To be honest, we rarely fight with Niu Niu. You have to ask your Forefather. He's more familiar with it than we are. He was the one who forced a junior of your family to cultivate Destiny's Shadow."
"Three Suns Ancestral Qi?"
"Yes, the Three Suns Ancestral Qi. Fertile Earth is usually very close to Niu Niu. He is more ruthless than anyone when scheming against Niu Niu. Back then, Niu Niu reported this matter to her master. In the end, the matter was left unsettled." Wu Tian said.
Lu Yin went to find Forefather Lu.
.... "Why don't you ask Forefather?"
Lu Yin smirked.
Lu Yuan said helplessly, "You're afraid that Master will disturb you."
Lu Yin remembered that the Primogenitor had said that they would have a good chat after this battle. If he went to ask the Primogenitor a few times, it was very likely that the Primogenitor would ask him to stay, and he couldn't stand being disturbed like that.
"Niu Niu is proficient in the power of time. Didn't Master tell you that Niu Niu always makes a move at the most crucial moment?
Under normal circumstances, she'll be able to see through the river of time and see what's going to happen next. That's a little hard to bear … "Lu Yuan explained slowly.
His words were more or less the same as Lu Yin's understanding of the situation. When he had fought with Maiden's Past, he had also felt how difficult it was to deal with time. If not for the fact that he had found a flaw in Maiden's words, he might not have taken action.
Destiny was actually an application of the power of time. It was able to see through the future, which was why it was called destiny.
"Niuniu is most proficient in attacking the river of time to erase the past and change the future. Of course, the future cannot be reversed, but it can affect the present." Lu Yuan said.
Lu Yin explained Papercut's power to Patriarch Lu Yuan, as well as Wu Tian, Chu Yi, and Hongyan Mavis. He was worried that they might run into Wei 'er one day and fall into her trap.
Beneath the Archaic City, the Primogenitor raised his head.
Head asked, "Has Maiden also come out to cause trouble?"
Lu Yin went to the underground of Immemorial City. "She said that she was the first person to know that the mirage domain had been fixed. Senior, are Maiden and destiny the same person?"
The progenitor rolled his eyes. "I say, Zhu Zi, can't you listen to the elderly properly? Niu Niu is Niu Niu, and Niu Niu is real, not fake. Maiden is Maiden, and that woman is sinister. However, she hasn't appeared in a long time, and I've forgotten about her."
"You have to be careful if you run into her."
"But Maiden used the power of destiny."
"That's still Maiden, not Niu Niu. Zhu Zi, the elderly's words must be reasonable. Come, let's talk slowly."
Lu Yin hurriedly asked, "Where's the Progenitor's Sword?"
The progenitor was stunned. "My sword?
Why are you looking for the sword?
Zhu Zi, one cannot be too greedy. Look, Chu Chen is already with you, and you still want the sword? That's a little too much. "
Lu Yin was helpless. "I want to perfect the karma of time …"
He told the progenitor what had happened, and the progenitor praised, "You're quite quick-witted. However, it's a pity that you can only use the sword that you used to suppress the Fifth Mainland. The other swords have either been snatched away by the Eternals or shattered."
He did not move, but some fragments fell to the ground. They were the fragments of the Progenitor's Sword.
Lu Yin was surprised. "It's shattered."
"Of course. After so many battles, even a person would not be able to withstand it, let alone a sword. Take it if you want."
"Right, be careful of Maiden. Although that woman does not appear often, I feel that she is plotting something."
Mister Mu walked over. "Maiden is not simple."
Lu Yin looked at Mister Mu. "Master, do you know her well?"
Mister Mu shook his head. "No, she does not belong to this universe like me."
Lu Yin raised his brows. "Another existence that does not belong to this universe."
Mister Mu was solemn. "She disappeared for a long time, and we have indeed forgotten about her. I did not expect her to still exist. If you meet her again, contact me. I want to talk to her."
…
After leaving Immemorial City, Lu Yin took the Progenitor's Sword fragment with him. He wanted to perfect the karma of time.
If he wanted to repair the Progenitor's Sword, he would need a large amount of money.
When he had first repaired the Progenitor's Sword, he had used up 12 trillion star essence. Now, he had no idea how much money he would need to repair this broken Progenitor's Sword.
He only had 26 trillion star essence left on him.
Should he repair it?
Lu Yin stared at the Progenitor's Sword fragment.
Actually, the Progenitor's Sword was only the Progenitor's weapon. Even if Lu Yin gathered all six of them, they would not be of much help since they were just weapons.
Back then, Lu Yin had thought that the Progenitor's Sword was unreachable only because he was weak.
Now, Lu Yin had the courage to fight the Progenitor at his peak. Of course, he would not be able to win, but he was already qualified, and there was no need for him to look up to the Progenitor's Sword.
However, the Progenitor's Sword's greatest ability was to suppress time.
The reason why Maiden had not come to the Fifth Mainland was because the Progenitor's Sword was suppressed there. As long as she did not have the confidence to break through the Progenitor's Sword, she would not be able to overturn the Fifth Mainland.
The only things that Lu Yin could use to threaten Maiden, aside from the power of time, was the Progenitor's Sword.
He was certain that Mr. Unbound was not the complete Maiden. The complete Maiden was on the same level as Mister Mu and the others, and Lu Yin was not a match for them right now.
The Progenitor's Sword could be used for self-defense.
As he thought about it, he decided to repair it.
He raised his hand, and his die appeared. He tapped it with a finger and rolled it.
As the die rolled …
The die slowly rotated, it stopped at one tap, and something useless fell out. Continue at five. Continue at three.
Lu Yin tossed the Progenitor's Sword fragment onto the screen and then began to frantically toss out star essence.
Soon, 12 trillion star essence had been used up, and the Progenitor's Sword was completely repaired.
Lu Yin relaxed, as it was still 12 trillion star essence. It seemed that no matter how damaged the Progenitor's Sword was, it was destined that it would only need this much star essence.
After repairing the Progenitor's Sword, Lu Yin asked Mu Zhu and the others to use Tracer of the Past once more to search for the time when he had fought Mr. Unbound. That period of time was not part of the river of time, which was exactly what Tracer of the Past was looking for.
The four of them worked together to use Tracer of the Past once more, and it took them several days to find it. Lu Yin then followed the direction that he had found and tossed out the Progenitor's Sword.
When Tracer of the Past ended, Lu Yin left the Above the Sky Sect and went to Mr. Unbound's courtyard in Yi Xian Academy, where the Progenitor's Sword lay peacefully.
The karma from that period of time had finally come to an end.
Lu Yin picked up the Progenitor's Sword. This battle method of changing the future to change the present was, to be honest, very exciting. There were endless possibilities, but there were also many accidents. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not use it.
Time had clearly flowed by, but because of the appearance of the river of time, there was a possibility of change. This possibility was beneficial to him, but it was also detrimental to others.
Could the Progenitor and the others have considered this situation when they had fixed the mirage domain?
Otherwise, what was the point of Mister Mu's Tracer of the Past?
Was it just for battle?
The river of time was like a treasure placed in front of many people, and it was not good for anyone to obtain it.
…
In the Above the Sky Sect, in a courtyard filled with books, two figures were busy.
"Senior Brother, is this enough?"
"No, it's far from enough. Junior Brother, you have to read more, and read good books."
"But these books are enough to read for a long time."
"Take that pile too."
"That many?"
"Senior Brother chose those for you. You have to read them carefully. In the future, when Senior Brother saves the universe, you have to help him. You can't let Master do all the work alone, understand?"
"Alright, Senior Brother is mighty."
"Thank you, Junior Brother."
Outside the courtyard, an old man arrived. When he heard the conversation in the courtyard, a smile appeared on his face.
He was She Sheng, one of the Nine Sages of the Reincarnation Space-Time. His seniority was second only to the Grand Empyreans, and even Celestial Victor had to respect him.
She Sheng stepped into the courtyard, looked at the piles of books, and sighed.
Two heads poked out from the books: Hui Can and Tuo Lin.
"Who are you?" Hui Can asked. He did not recognize this old man, but since he had appeared here, he could not be a bad person.
The old man smiled at Hui Can. "Young friend, congratulations on becoming Master Lu's disciple."
Hui Can was delighted. He had gone from being a miner who trembled in fear to being the disciple of a supreme ruler of the universe. This was a huge leap in status, and even his shrewdness could not hide it.
She Sheng looked at Tuo Lin with a complicated gaze. "Child, we have met before."
Tuo Lin was a descendant of She Sheng. Because of She Sheng, he was qualified to participate in the Grand Empyrean tea party and was treated with respect by many people. However, he did not know his own situation, and he had only met She Sheng once.
"Senior, are you here to find me?" Tuo Lin was curious.
She Sheng smiled and nodded. "I'm here to find you. Can we talk alone?"
Hui Can became vigilant. "Senior, why are you looking for my Senior Brother?"
She Sheng smiled. "Don't worry, Master Lu knows of my arrival."
