In the Cosmic Sea, outside the Fifth Pagoda, Lu Yin had just put away the Wordless Heaven Book when he suddenly heard the Progenitor's Sutra. He also saw a face. Although that face had appeared and disappeared quickly, Lu Yin still saw that it was Grandmaster Grass.
His expression changed as he used the Reverse Step and disappeared toward the Above Heaven Sect.
When he returned, he found the Life Maiden who had stayed behind. Under her puzzled gaze, he said anxiously, "Start immediately."
The Life Maiden did not dare to ask. She tore through the void and appeared beside the flowerbed at the back mountain of the Above Heaven Sect. Zhao Ran was humming and reaching for a flower.
The Life Maiden was faster than her and plucked the flower.
Lu Yin looked at this scene.
The Life Maiden heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhao Ran looked at the Life Maiden blankly and blinked, not understanding what had happened.
"This is for you." The Life Maiden smiled and handed her the flower.
Zhao Ran was happy. "Thank you."
She looked at the Life Maiden. "Sister, you look familiar. I'm sorry, I can't recognize you."
The Life Maiden quickly said, "We haven't seen each other before. It's normal that you can't recognize me."
"Is that so?"
Lu Yin had already left. He had gone to Windrift Hall.
At the same time, Lu Yuan, Hongyan Mavis, and the others walked out of Immemorial City to look for the Ancient God.
The Primogenitor closed his eyes. Da Qiang was gone. Child.
In the Starry Sky of the Tree, the Ancient God was lying on the ground in the Madsword Domain of the Mother Tree. Only his human form could be seen. His flesh and bones were shattered, and he looked extremely miserable.
Master Grass was no longer as calm as before. His face was gloomy.
The Only True God walked forward and looked at the Ancient God. "You gave up the chance to enter the Eternal Realm so easily because of Tai Chu?"
The Ancient God's mouth, which was only left with bones, moved and made a hoarse sound. Even the Only True God could not hear what he said.
It was not that the sound was soft, but that there was no sound at all.
The Ancient God had been prepared to die when he had punched. At this moment, he was immersed in his memories and smiled as if he had seen something.
Master Grass looked at his wrist, and his expression turned ugly. "Eternal, you shouldn't have accepted him." He then turned and disappeared.
The only true god looked at the ancient god calmly. After a long while, he raised his head and looked into the distance. There, Nong Yi was still smiling as he looked at the Central Plain Realm, enjoying the joy of family reunion.
"Humans have weaknesses in emotions, but they are also strengths. It is really difficult for you to completely eradicate them."
The One True God said calmly. Then, he stomped down and crushed the Ancient God's body. The Ancient God's body shattered and he died.
In the distance, Hei Wushen let out a breath. Another one had died.
One by one, they died. Could he really see the rebooted universe?
Woof
Tengu ran towards the only True God.
The One True God looked at Black Wushen. "Let's go."
Not long after, the Berserk Sword Domain quieted down. Along with a gust of wind, the broken bones of the Ancient God flew towards Nong Yi.
The Fifth Mainland's Innerverse, Windrift Hall. This was Lu Yin's second visit.
The last time he came, he was also looking for Master Green Grass. He remembered that Master Green Grass had said that the universe was breathing, so he specially came to look for him. He thought that Master Green Grass was a hidden expert, but he didn't see anything.
This time, he had come with a towering killing intent.
Windrift Hall trembled as everyone knelt down in shock, not daring to look at Lu Yin.
Coco and Zora weren't around, so only Zeng Jie was here to manage Windrift Hall.
"Where's Master Green Grass?"
Zeng Jie didn't understand why Lu Yin was acting this way.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
Although he didn't express his anger, the killing intent that he unintentionally emitted caused even the heavens to tremble. "Master isn't here. He hasn't returned since the last time the Path Master asked him to cure the poison."
Lu Yin's gaze swept over and he stepped out, arriving at Master Green Grass's residence.
Master Green Grass's residence was very simple, similar to many of the senior cultivators that Lu Yin had seen before. The house was simple, the courtyard was simple, and the herbs were simple. From this place, one couldn't tell that Master Green Grass had been sent here by the Ancient God.
Lu Yin didn't know how the Ancient God was doing, but Patriarch Lu Yuan and the others were definitely frantically searching for him.
Lu Yin knew that he had acted rashly. So what if he found Master Green Grass?
The Ancient God wasn't weak, and if Master Green Grass had relied on the Primogenitor's Scripture to spread the news, then it meant that there was a huge gap between the two of them. Even if Lu Yin found Master Green Grass, he would be courting death.
However, Lu Yin wasn't willing to accept this. Patriarch Lu Yuan and the others, Jialan Zhiluo, and the others, who would be willing to accept this?
Even if he knew that he would die, he still had to find the Ancient God.
Unfortunately, he still couldn't find him here.
The Ancient God had relied on the Primogenitor's Scripture to send out only Master Green Grass's face and nothing else.
Lu Yin recalled every word that Master Green Grass had said.
"The Gu Flowzone is sick, and I'm treating it.
"The poison's circulation is abnormal, just like how a person's breathing is abnormal.
"When the day comes when you can see that the grass is looking at you, you'll be able to see that the Gu Flowzone is breathing. Or rather, it should be said that in the universe, any natural state or operating order can breathe and have life."
These words appeared in Lu Yin's mind more than once, and he regretted not being able to see through Master Green Grass's strength. Was this something that an ordinary cultivator could say?
He stood calmly in Master Green Grass's courtyard, not knowing how to search.
Lu Yuan, Hongyan Mavis, Chu Yi, and the others were all frantically searching for the Ancient God and Master Green Grass, but they couldn't find anything.
The universe was vast, and there were countless parallel spacetimes. It was too difficult to find a single person.
The Primogenitor's Scripture couldn't pinpoint the Ancient God's location unless the Ancient God spoke up.
The longer this dragged on, the heavier their hearts sank until they received news from the Astral Tree Domain that an Ancient God had been discovered.
Lu Yin hurried over to the Astral Tree Domain and arrived at the unfamiliar Madsword Domain.
The first thing he saw was the shattered bones of the Ancient God. Lu Yin cultivated his strength, and he could tell at a glance that this was a power that the Ancient God had not been able to withstand. It had exceeded its limits, and it had not come from the enemy, but from the Ancient God himself.
What kind of desperate situation had the Ancient God been in for it to suffer such a terrifying backlash? However, there were no signs of battle in the surroundings.
Nong Yi stood nearby with a shocked expression that had yet to recover.
The next moment, Lu Yuan and the others arrived one by one. When they saw the Ancient God's corpse, they fell silent.
"How did you find it?" Lu Yin asked.
Nong Yi came back to his senses and said solemnly, "There were no traces at all. Nothing caught my attention at first, but I know the Ruler Realm too well. I've been here many times, and I'm a good friend of the Madsword Domain. I noticed a slight change in the terrain and instinctively came to check it out. That's when I saw this scene."
"Aside from this, there was nothing else. I can't even be sure that this person is the Ancient God."
The Ancient God's corpse was just a skeleton, and there wasn't even much flesh left. Most people would not be able to recognize it, but Nong Yi had participated in the war on the backside and confronted the Ancient God more than once. That was why he was able to recognize it, but it was only a guess, so he reported it to the Above Heaven Sect.
Lu Yuan.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
A few people stood beside the Ancient God's corpse and did not have much of a reaction. However, this was the most intense reaction.
The relationships between the six paths of the Three Realms were very deep, and Lu Yin admired them. No one had betrayed them, even if Jialan Zhiluo had been sealed in Tian Feng's body and had suffered the torture of being skinned and disfigured. Wu Tian had been hung in the Third Calamity Region. Beauty Mavis had been trapped in the mirage domain for countless years. Even if the Ancient God had been controlled by the One True God.
None of them had betrayed him.
Just as the One True God had said, Inception's disciples were all good people.
Lu Yin did not have much affection for the Ancient God, so he could not understand the hatred that was engraved in their bones. However, the Ancient God had died for humanity, and such a will was worthy of respect.
Lu Yin slowly bowed to the Ancient God's corpse.
Nong Yi hurriedly bowed as well.
There were only a few people who had cultivated the Primogenitor's Scripture. Outside of the Three Realms and Six Paths, only Lu Tianyi and Kui Luo had cultivated it. Kui Luo had also seen Grandmaster Bluegrass, but he was only a half-step Ancestor and did not understand what it meant. Thus, he had not come to the Sovereign Realm.
In silence, the group took the Ancient God's corpse away.
There were not many powerful cultivators who could preserve their corpses. For example, in the Primeval City Battlefield, once they died, most of them would turn to dust.
Only after the Ancient God's corpse was brought back did Elder Chan and the other Progenitors find out.
Grandmaster Bluegrass's identity was only known among Progenitors. Those who had not reached the Progenitor realm did not need to know, and Grandmaster Bluegrass would not cause trouble for them.
Lu Yin looked at the lake with a heavy heart. His guess had come true.
In the past, no matter how he guessed, a guess was still a guess. As long as fate did not appear, it would remain a guess. He had even hoped that fate would never appear and that it would just be a dream.
But now, fate had appeared.
According to Nong Yi, when the Ancient God died, Lu Yin was not far from the Frenzied Sword Domain and could see it. But from beginning to end, no matter how much power the Ancient God had unleashed, he had not been able to sense it. Lu Yin was very clear about how terrifying this power was.
The Ancient God must have used the power that had reached the limit of the current universe. Even Lu Yin was not confident that he could withstand such power. It was comparable to when the One True God had uprooted the black mother tree, but he had still not been able to do anything. This power had broken the limits of Lu Yin's understanding of this universe, and it was like a mountain pressing down on his head.
Lu Yuan and the others were silent not only because of the grief of the Ancient God's death, but also because of that power. It was indescribably terrifying.
"Path Master, Ancestor Ku requests an audience." The Second Nightking's voice rang out.
Lu Yin turned around. "Invite him in."
The back mountain of the Above Heaven Sect was not an important forbidden area, and many people did not greet him when they came. Ancestor Ku was an exception. He was low-key and had his own way of doing things.
"Senior, what's the matter?" Lu Yin asked directly. There was no need for formalities.
Ancestor Ku's face was solemn. "Was the Ancient God killed by that Grandmaster Bluegrass?"
Lu Yin nodded.
Withered Ancestor said, "I think I've seen this Master Grass before."
Lu Yin was surprised. Master Grass had always kept a low profile and had never participated in any of the wars between the Eternals and the humans. Before the Ancient God's death, he hadn't even made a move. Perhaps no one knew that he had made a move. "Senior, have you seen him before?"
"I can't remember, but I'm sure that I've seen him before." Ancestor Ku said.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold, "The lost memories."
The Desolate Ancestor nodded. "I've seen this person. I'm sure I've seen him before, but I still can't remember him. Maybe it's not that I've lost my memory, but that I've been deprived of time. Otherwise, with my strength, it's impossible that I can't recover my memory."
