Lu Yin immediately invited Mu Zhu and the others over. Since time had been taken away, they could use Tracing the Ancients.
Mu Zhu was fine, but Qing Ping and Mu Xie could not hold on any longer. They had helped Lu Yin Tracing the Ancients to deal with Mister Wei, and they had yet to recover.
However, this matter was of great importance. If Ancestor Ku had really been deprived of time, then something important must have happened during that time.
When Ku Zu had killed his way into the Eternals, he had never thought of returning alive. Instead, he had wanted to pave the way for his descendants. Even if he had died, he had wanted to leave some clues behind. When he had used the Sequence Laws to escape, he had not thought that he would actually be able to escape. Therefore, he had thought of a way to leave some clues behind. However, Lu Yin could not find any clues even after searching the black mother tree and the Land of Disaster.
Being stripped of time during that time was definitely related to Master Qing Cao. However, if Master Qing Cao had been in the Land of Disaster at that time, why had he not killed Ku Zu?
If he did not care, then why had Butterfly Tianen chased after him?
Master Qing Cao had his own thoughts, and Lu Yin and Ku Zu wanted to find out what had happened during that time.
Qing Ping and Mu Xie went to the Five Spirit Tribes and recovered through parallel spacetime with different flows of time.
They returned after more than a month, having stayed in the Five Spirit Tribes for a long time.
This time, Tracing the Ancients involved a terrifying powerhouse like Master Qing Cao. Not only were Lu Yin and the others present, but even Mister Mu had come as a precaution.
The target of Tracing the Ancients was Ku Zu.
If Ku Zu had really been deprived of time, then he must have existed during that time. He could not be found in the River of Time.
As Tracing the Ancients began, Lu Yin and the others could only wait.
The Ancient God's death brought great grief to Lu Yuan and the others, and it also caused the Primogenitor beneath Immemorial City to fall silent.
Immemorial City quieted down.
The Above Heaven Sect also quieted down.
The Eternals had clearly been defeated, but only those who did not know the truth were happy. Those above the Progenitor realm were not happy.
Only then would a truly powerful enemy appear.
One day, half a year later, Mu Zhu and the others suddenly shouted, "Found it!"
They looked at the flow of time between the four of them. Gray light flickered as images flashed past, but they could not see them clearly.
Suddenly, a pair of eyes opened and looked at the group.
Lu Yin immediately recognized them; they belonged to Master Qing Cao.
Pfft!
The four of them all fell to the ground.
Mister Mu waved his hand, and the void rumbled. The River of Time was faintly discernible, and his expression was grave.
Under the starry sky, Grandmaster Green Grass frowned. Had he been discovered?
Since that's the case, let's start the war.
He got up and headed toward the boundary of the universe.
In the back mountain of the Sky Sect, except for Mu Zhu, the other three fainted.
Mister Mu checked it and said, "It's fine. It was just a glance. That person didn't really do anything."
Lu Yin brought Woodcarving and the others away to rest. He looked at Mu Zhu and asked, "Eldest Senior Sister, did you see anything?"
Mu Zhu's face was pale as he tried to recall. Then, he drew a picture in the air.
This pattern was the one that the Only True God had been staring at when Great Master Green Grass fought with the Ancient God. It was the pattern on Great Master Green Grass's wrist.
Ancestor Ku was excited, "This is the picture. Although I don't know why, this picture made me know that I have to live. Spread it out."
Lu Yin looked at Mister Mu, Patriarch Lu Yuan, and the others.
Patriarch Lu Yuan and the others were confused.
Even Wu Tian, the one who taught the world, the one with the greatest knowledge, was at a loss, unable to understand this diagram.
"Cause and effect," Mister Mu said as he looked at the pattern.
Everyone looked at Mister Mu in confusion.
What did this pattern have to do with cause and effect?
Mister Mu looked at the pattern in a daze and pondered for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said, "I see. I understand now. No wonder I survived."
"Master, do you understand?" Lu Yin asked.
Mister Mu waved his hand to disperse the pattern. "In this universe, other than me, perhaps no one else can understand it, including Tai Chu. Because you have never encountered it."
"I've seen this pattern before."
Mu Zhu looked at Mister Mu. "In our universe?"
Mister Mu nodded with a complicated expression. "Yes, in our universe. At that time, I didn't understand what this pattern represented and didn't think much about it." He then looked at Ancestor Ku. "Why do you think this pattern is strange?"
He shook his head. "Forget it. You don't remember anyway."
Although Ancestor Ku didn't remember, something must have happened at that time that made him feel that this pattern was important and needed to be spread.
Perhaps it was because of this pattern that Great Master Green Grass took away Ancestor Ku's time and even made Tianen the Butterfly chase after him.
"This pattern, I'm just guessing. Its purpose is to time."
Everyone was puzzled. Time?
Mister Mu said seriously, "There is no limit in the universe. This is what I, Tai Chu, Wei Nu, and Tai Hong all agree. If there is a limit, such as the Immortal Realm, then there must be a limit for the Immortal Realm. This limit is most likely caused by karma.
"We don't know how the Immortal Realm is restricted, but we guess that this restriction must be very serious. Otherwise, how can the universe develop normally?
It's impossible for the Immortal Realm to dominate the universe.
"When the Immortal Realm attacks, it's the cause. When the Immortal Realm attacks, it's the effect. Therefore, in my opinion, this pattern is a karmic chain, a unit of time to record the karmic backlash.
"The Immortal Realm is really invincible. Once they attack, they can change the universe in an instant. But if they don't attack, it means that they are restricted by the karmic chain.
"This is the only way to deal with the Immortal Realm."
Lu Yin looked at Mister Mu. "Master, you saw this karmic chain when you encountered the Immortal Realm?"
Mister Mu nodded with his hands behind his back.
"When I first saw it, I thought it was strange, but I didn't think much about it. I just thought it was the pattern of the Immortal Realm. Now that I see it almost the same pattern, I feel that something is wrong."
Lu Yin suddenly thought of something. "Great Elder Dan Gu, please come here."
In this universe, Mister Mu and Great Elder Dan Gu were the only ones who had encountered the Immortal Realm. The universe where the Lost Clan was originally located had defeated their old enemy. But because of the appearance of an omnipotent existence, all their efforts were in vain. The Lost Clan had no choice but to escape.
Not long after, Great Elder Dan Gu arrived.
Mu Zhu redrew the pattern.
Great Elder Dan Gu looked at the pattern and was stunned at first. Then, his eyes suddenly widened, full of disbelief. "This, this pattern."
"Have you seen it before?"
Great Elder Dan Gu gritted his teeth. "Yes, Master Lu. Where did you see this pattern?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "Senior, where did you see it?"
Great Elder Dan Gu was excited, and his eyes were full of hatred. "That, the omnipotent existence."
"On the wrist?" Mister Mu asked.
Great Elder Dan Gu was shocked and looked at Mister Mu. "Yes."
Mister Mu exhaled. "Sure enough, the Immortal Realm has this pattern, and it can't be hidden."
"Is the pattern that Senior Dan Gu saw exactly the same as this one?"
Lu Yin asked. After he finished speaking, his expression became solemn. "Senior, please recall carefully. This is very important."
Great Elder Shan Gu nodded. He did not know where Lu Yin and the others had seen this diagram, but he could clearly see the severity of the situation. This matter involved that omnipotent existence, and that existence was invincible. Was this universe going to repeat the tragedy that had befallen his own universe?
He closed his eyes and recalled for a long time. Then, he opened his eyes. "It's different. The pattern I saw was simpler than this one."
He drew a pattern according to his vague memory. "I remember this pattern very clearly. Back then, those comrades, seniors, and juniors died, and their blood dyed the starry sky red. I remember this pattern the most. It was like the symbol of the omnipotent existence that lit up the starry sky. It left a deep impression on me and the entire Lost Clan. It was engraved into our bones and into our souls."
"This pattern kept appearing in my dreams. I remember it like this."
Everyone compared the two patterns. They were roughly the same, but the pattern drawn by Great Elder Dan Gu was indeed simpler than the one drawn by Master Qing Cao.
Now, the facts were very clear. This pattern could be found in the Eternal Life Realm. Otherwise, Master Green Grass was the existence that destroyed the universe where First Elder Dan Gu was from. However, First Elder Dan Gu had seen Master Green Grass's appearance and knew that he was not.
Such an existence disdained disguising himself, just like how humans wouldn't disguise themselves for ants.
If they were not the same person, it meant that this pattern was really as Mister Mu had guessed. It was a restriction imposed by the universe on the Eternal Realm powerhouses. It was a kind of timing.
It was obvious that the Grass Grandmaster's pattern had more lines than the other pattern. These lines were not complicated and were repetitive. Most importantly, this pattern appeared on the wrist and seemed to form a circle around the wrist. What would happen if it really formed a circle?
"Since fate has appeared, Master can recover," Wu Tian suddenly said.
Lu Yuan and the others' eyes lit up. That's right. The reason why the ancestor didn't recover was that he was afraid of being targeted by fate. Now that fate had appeared, the ancestor should recover.
However, Lu Yin thought of a more serious problem. "Fate has been exposed. We don't know what his goal is, but since he can't do anything because of the karmic chain, what will he do?"
"Let others do it," Lu Yuan blurted out.
Lu Yin's expression changed. "But there's no one in this universe who can help him."
"The Guardian of the Four Directions." Jia Lan Zhiluo suddenly thought of something.
Not good. Lu Yin hurriedly said to Mister Mu, "Master, go to the border."
…
At the border of the Tianyuan Universe, in front of a huge stone gate, Jiang Feng sat calmly with a long sword across his legs.
In the distance, a figure walked out. It was Master Qing Cao. He carried a bamboo basket and bent over, approaching step by step.
Jiang Feng frowned as he watched Master Qing Cao slowly approach. He didn't know this person, but he was wary. He could see this person, but this person didn't seem to be in front of him.
"Who are you?" Jiang Feng asked as he slowly stood up.
Master Qing Cao looked at Jiang Feng with a smile. "White Cloud City's City Lord, your rise also came from the turbid treasure. It has a trace of legend."
"I'm Qing Cao. Others call me Master Qing Cao."
