I don't know how much time has passed. It might seem like a short time in the outside world, but several years have passed in the Five Spirit Clans. The people around me are talking about the nest. I'm not interested, but gradually, I realize that the nest they're talking about is similar to the jade ball I got. Is that a nest?
I listened calmly, and soon determined that what I had was the insect nest. Above Heaven's Sect's Master Lu had ordered the entire universe to destroy the insect nest. Handing over the insect nest would give me a huge reward, but I wasn't interested in the reward. I wanted revenge. Floating Cloud Universe, You Family, would Master Lu help me take revenge?
Impossible, those people are all his subordinates, and he will only help them. I want revenge on my own.
The nest can give birth to insects, and it's very powerful. Even Master Lu is afraid of it, but I can't be careless. I can't rush, I have to take it slow. Too many insects will be discovered, so I have to take it one step at a time.
…
Looking at the familiar picture in front of him, Lu Yin didn't expect it to be like this.
"He's your brother?"
Behind him was Zi Jing and Cang Xiaoxue.
Lu Yin had taken control of her and the nest as soon as he found out that Cang Xiaoxue was hiding the nest. He asked her why she was hiding it and giving birth to insects. Her answer was within Lu Yin's expectations, but it also surprised him. It was normal for her to want revenge, but her enemies were the Drifting Cloud Universe and the You Family.
This surprised Lu Yin. How could the Drifting Cloud Universe and the You Family have a common enemy?
The first person he thought of was the Dimensional Master, the Chrono Overlord. The You Family's enemy was the Dimensional Master, and the Drifting Cloud Universe's enemy was the Dimensional Master.
However, Cang Xiaoxue had brought them here and shown them the picture.
Xiaohai, the Energy Research Division's Xiaohai, was actually Cang Xiaoxue's brother.
He was a spy in the Energy Research Division who wanted to use the Eternals to exchange for a body and control the Energy Research Division, but he had died in the base where Lu Yin had forced him to find a black energy source.
Lu Yin didn't expect that this person, who had long been forgotten in the corner of his memory, would appear again.
"You know my brother?" Cang Xiaoxue was puzzled.
Lu Yin looked at Cang Xiaohai. This person had betrayed him and the entire human race, so he deserved to die. However, his death had given Lu Yin a new heart for vengeance. That heart had long since fallen silent, but it had been rekindled because of the insectoid nest.
The threat brought by the hive was not only the destruction of intelligent civilizations and the destruction of legacies. The initial threat was to incite hatred, allowing those who were unable to take revenge to gain power. Yes, this was the true reason why the hive could be nurtured.
If there was no hatred or greed in this universe, the hive would have been destroyed long ago. Why would Cang Xiaoxue need to hide?
Wouldn't it be better to exchange for rewards?
However, this was an intelligent civilization. This was the civilization of mankind. Greed, hatred, and unwavering lust. Although human beings had noble virtues, fearless spirits, and complicated emotions, they could not hide their bad habits.
The insectoid hive was specifically designed to destroy civilizations. As long as the insectoid hive could develop, the civilization would have value and meaning in being destroyed.
This was the Hive civilization.
"You're the one who killed my brother. It's you, isn't it?
It's you. "
Cang Xiaoxue suddenly realized that the You family and Drifting Cloud Spacetime were all backed by this person. It was Lu Yin. He was the one who had killed her brother. Otherwise, how could someone like him know her brother?
Her brother was just a small member of the energy research team, so how could he know someone like this?
This person was the one who had rescued her brother.
Lu Yin turned around and looked at Cang Xiaoxue. The girl's eyes were filled with hatred, as if she wanted to eat him alive.
She had an ordinary appearance and should have led an ordinary life. However, hatred and a hive had completely changed her ordinary life.
"Your brother was a spy, a spy for the Everlasting Race." Lu Yin did not deny it.
Cang Xiaoxue exploded and screamed, "It's you! It's you! You killed my brother! Give him back, give him back!"
"Your brother was a spy, he deserved to die!" Zi Jing grabbed her and shouted.
Cang Xiaoxue screamed, "I don't care! He was my brother, my only family! You killed him! Give him back his life!"
Zi Jing looked at Lu Yin, "Path Master, Xiaoxue and I have known each other for many years. She was introverted and cared about her brother the most. This hatred cannot be resolved."
Cang Xiaoxue screamed, her eyes filled with hatred as she stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked at her, "I didn't kill your brother."
Cang Xiaoxue was stunned and stared at Lu Yin, her eyes filled with hatred, "You didn't kill him?"
"He died in the laboratory of that old man, the leader of your energy research team. Even though I wasn't the one who killed him, he died because of me. I don't regret his death at all. A spy deserved to die," Lu Yin said calmly.
Cang Xiaoxue's eyes were filled with hatred as she screamed, full of unwillingness.
She did not know that her enemy was Lu Yin. She hated the You family and Drifting Cloud Spacetime for so many years, but she did not know and had been working for this person all this time.
But then, she collapsed to the ground. So what if she knew?
It was just that this enemy was too big, so big that it was unimaginable. Even with the hive, she could not take revenge.
She sat on the ground with a dull expression and muttered something to herself.
Lu Yin looked at the hive in his hand, "You didn't give birth to Freesia and Ghost Orchid?
It has been three years and seven months since you came to the Five Spirit Races, not counting the first three years. At that time, the hive had not been discovered. It was only three years after you came to the Five Spirit Races, when Yu Leng massacred the Six Direction Training Halls, that the hive was completely discovered. You should not have given birth then, or else this place would have reported it. "
"That is to say, this place only got the news after the hive spread. You only started giving birth to the hive after seven months at most, which is less than sixty years in the Five Spirit Races' time."
"If you focused on giving birth to the hive, you could have given birth to Brocade Asura in less than ten years. The person outside gave birth to Freesia around the same time, but you took almost sixty years. You were afraid of being discovered, so you gave birth to Freesia and Ghost Orchid without letting them appear. Why did you send out Brocade Asura?"
Cang Xiaoxue slowly looked up and smiled vengefully, "Do you think I will answer?"
Lu Yin looked at her, "With your cautiousness, you should not have exposed yourself before taking revenge. Either you cannot control Brocade Asura, or you are not the only one who can control Brocade Asura." At this point, he squatted down and looked into Cang Xiaoxue's eyes, "You gave birth to Qing Xian, right?"
"Hahahaha." Cang Xiaoxue laughed loudly and carefreely.
Her laughter caused Lu Yin's heart to sink.
"Master Lu, you are so smart. Alright, I will tell you. That's right, Qing Xian came out." Cang Xiaoxue laughed, "It was Qing Xian who controlled Brocade Asura to scout for her.
She wanted to know the Genesis Space, and I could not stop her. "
"Where is Qing Xian?" Lu Yin shouted.
"Hahahaha, I never thought that I would see the high and mighty Master Lu lose his composure one day. Brother, did you see that?
Brother, hahahaha. "
Cang Xiaoxue laughed maniacally. She had suppressed her laughter for so many years, and now it was completely released. Her laughter was like revenge, and the more she saw Lu Yin lose his composure, the happier she became. Gradually, the smile on her face faded, and the light in her eyes dimmed. Finally, she collapsed and died.
After Cang Xiaoxue died, Lu Yin stood up. His previous loss of composure had been an act. This woman had hidden the hive and given birth to Brocade Asura, which had caused many deaths. She deserved to die, but she was also very pitiful. Lu Yin could not let her go just because she was pitiful, but he was willing to fulfill her wishes as long as it was within his power.
She must have been truly happy at the moment of her death.
Zi Jing looked at Cang Xiaoxue's corpse and could not bear it. Her ambition had been provoked by He Ran, but she was not a cultivator, "Master, Cang Xiaoxue is dead. What about Brocade Asura?"
Lu Yin asked, "Am I being too soft-hearted?"
Zi Jing was stunned and looked at Lu Yin with a complicated expression. Soft-Hearted?
Really?
She thought back to Lu Yin's life. This was not Lu Yin's right alone, but everyone's right. Lu Yin's life was known by everyone, and he had become a legend.
Ever since Lu Yin had stepped into the cultivation world, blood and slaughter had never ceased. Earth, the Outerverse, the Innerverse, the Cosmic Sea, the Neoverse, the Astral Tree, the Sixth Mainland, the Hexagon Gang, and so on. How many people had he killed or indirectly killed?
Those people had died at his hands for various reasons, but did all of them really deserve to die?
Who in the cultivation world would consider such a question?
The law of the jungle explained everything. However, as a human being, how could he not think about it?
This was the bottom line of being human.
In the past, Lu Yin would not have fulfilled Cang Xiaoxue's dream of revenge. Her death was not within his consideration, and he would have thought of ways to use her to deal with Brocade Asura.
But now, Lu Yin had watched her commit suicide and laugh heartily before her death. This ending was undoubtedly the best for Cang Xiaoxue, but it was not good for Lu Yin and the Primordial Space, which was currently suffering from the Brocade Asura's calamity.
If revenge breeds revenge, when will it ever end? Hatred was the main theme that would never fade, and Lu Yin had only considered this theme when he had become the ruler of the humans.
What right did a person who did not have to worry about being avenged and who had brought about endless hatred have to guide others to do good?
Lu Yin looked at Cang Xiaohai's picture. The hatred that he had brought about had ended with Cang Xiaoxue's death, but what about the others?
Zi Jing did not disturb Lu Yin and quietly stood behind him.
There were some questions that only someone in Lu Yin's position could consider.
After a while, Lu Yin ordered all the Progenitors to gather in the Primordial Space and search for the Brocade Asura.
This method was no different from waiting for a rabbit to appear, but there was no other way.
Creatures like the Brocade Asura that wandered the plane were very difficult to find.
They had allowed Cang Xiaoxue to die because the Brocade Asura did not listen to her. Otherwise, they would not have left the Five Spirit Clans and would only listen to Qing Xian.
Finding Qing Xian was the most important thing.
However, Cang Xiaoxue herself could not possibly know where Qing Xian was. A bug nest was just a breeding ground for insects, but that did not mean that the insects would definitely return to the nest that had given birth to them. They would look for a nearby bug nest. This was what Elder Shan Gu had told Lu Yin.
