Elder Shan Gu told Lu Yin that the war between their universe and the hive had lasted for a very long time, just like the war between the Tian Yuan Universe and the Eternals. They had not been able to completely destroy the hive, but now, the same thing was happening in the Tian Yuan Universe as well.
Lu Yin did not have the confidence to completely destroy the hive.
However, since Elder Shan Gu's civilization had defeated the hive and lured out that omnipotent existence, then the Tian Yuan Universe's civilization could do the same. Although it would be a long and drawn-out war, the biggest problem was that they did not know when the spiritualized universe would arrive.
Being surrounded and attacked by the spiritualized universe and the hive was the Tian Yuan Universe's greatest danger.
There was no other way.
Lu Yin could only take this final step.
Four years had passed in the outside world, but not much had changed. In the cultivation world, four years was not even the blink of an eye. The higher one's cultivation, the more time seemed blurry.
In the past, four years would have been enough for Lu Yin's cultivation to improve greatly, especially when he was still in the Five Spirit Races. That was equivalent to four hundred years, and he did not know how much he would have improved. But now, there was no improvement. At his level, even the slightest improvement would take a ridiculous amount of time.
Unless there was a shortcut.
The only shortcut he could take right now was the foundation of the sequence.
The Jiangshi Painting that had been suppressed in Lu Yin's heart had shrunk by more than half, and only a tiny bit remained. Boundless sequence particles had appeared in the region that he controlled, and they had surpassed most powerhouses with sequence laws. However, this was not enough, far from enough. He needed even more sequence particles, ones that covered the entire region.
One day, when the region around his heart was filled with sequence particles, just like the Immemorial Battlefield, Lu Yin did not know how powerful he would be then.
At that time, his biggest headache would be breaking through to the Primordial realm.
Lu Yin realized that he was constantly repeating a process. He was constantly challenging those in a lower realm, reaching the limits of his current realm, or even surpassing them. The difficulty of breaking through was unimaginable.
Breaking through to the Explorer realm was like this, breaking through to the Envoy realm was like this, breaking through to the Half-Ancestor realm was like this, and breaking through to the Primordial realm was even more difficult.
The more sequence laws one grasped, the harder it would be to break through to the Primordial realm.
Lu Yin did not know if he would have the courage to fill up the space around his heart if he really managed to snatch the ten foundation of the spiritualized universe. That would be a challenge, an unprecedented challenge.
Four years in the outside world meant four hundred years for the Five Spirit Tribes. Nothing seemed to have changed, but the missions that Lu Yin had given them had all been completed. In fact, it could even be said that they had accomplished more than they had. All of humanity's resources had been gathered together, and the power that all of the professionals could unleash was unimaginable.
First was the black energy source. He had already created a hundred of them, and resources were still being sent over to him.
He had also created a million rules to search for Sequence nomological fluctuations.
Ye Rou had twelve Progenitor corpses, which meant that he now had twelve more Progenitor corpses. Fortunately, he was able to find those Progenitor corpses who had done all sorts of evil in the parallel universes.
In terms of microarrays, they had already developed 108 combinations that could be mass-produced. The universal armor was already being mass-produced, and they were constantly being manufactured to increase the destructive power of the Progenitor realm in batches.
On Limitless Empire's side, 50 Tenth Ring mechas, 20 Eleventh Ring mechas, and 12 Twelfth Ring mechas were all completed.
In other words, eight years had passed in the outside world since Lu Yin had issued the mission. Eight hundred years had passed in the Five Spirit Races' time flow had accelerated by a hundred times, and the Tian Yuan Universe had increased by nearly a third.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
Of the two hundred Progenitor techniques, the greatest anticipation was still the microarray weapons. Lu Yin's original mission was to create ten thousand microarray weapons with 108 combinations. This was a terrifying number, and once it was completed, Lu Yin was confident that he would be able to deal with any crisis.
Now, the microarray weapons were already being mass-produced, and they would be completed very soon.
The Tian Yuan Universe's strength had increased exponentially.
The spiritualized universe had used its unified cultivation method to create a power that far surpassed the Tian Yuan Universe's. Now, the Tian Yuan Universe was also using its own diversified cultivation method to catch up with the spiritualized universe. No one could say for sure if this power would be able to catch up to the spiritualized universe, but at the very least, everyone could see hope for a battle.
Before that, they still had to deal with the threat of the hive.
A large-scale increase in strength required someone to take the lead.
Lu Yin had temporarily decided on a candidate.
Currently, he had a total of 112 black energy sources that he could freely use, and he could directly select 112 cultivators to use them. Even in a parallel universe like the hyperspace, which did not cultivate much, people could use black energy sources. For the cultivation world, it was not difficult to find more than a hundred people who could use black energy sources.
For the time being, the person in charge of these people was Void Master.
The twelve cultivators who could use the power of a Progenitor were initially determined to be led by Ye Rou. However, Ye Rou did not want to lead these people, so Lu Yin handed them over to Big Sis.
Lu Yin had originally wanted Disaster to lead the fifty people who could use the destructive power of a Progenitor in the Calamity Expedition. After all, they were his clansmen, but Disaster had refused. It was not that he was unwilling, but rather that the Calamity Expedition's combat style was too simplistic. Lu Yin hoped that a powerhouse would lead these clansmen to make up for their shortcomings.
Lu Yin thought about it and agreed, so he invited Wood God to lead them.
Of the Limitless Empire's mechas, other than those left behind to maintain the connection between the Limitless Empire and the parallel universe, the rest were led by Ce Wangtian. Ce Wangtian had personally requested this from Lu Yin, saying that he could not stay idle. In reality, Lu Yin felt that it was more because of Big Sis.
Big Sis kept causing trouble for him, and he wanted to avoid her.
Finally, there was the Tian Yuan Army.
The Tian Yuan Army was the name that Lu Yin had given to the cultivators who were equipped with 108 array weapons. It was similar to the Celestial Army, but it was much more powerful. The original cultivators of the Celestial Army were directly integrated into the Tian Yuan Army.
The Tian Yuan Army was equipped with the Tian Yuan Armor, which could carry 108 array weapons. Lu Yin had requested ten thousand of them, but due to the scarcity of resources, only three thousand of them could be produced. The rest would be distributed to other cultivators, such as those who used the black energy source, and so on. The Tian Yuan Army would have a total of three thousand people.
Three thousand soldiers who could use the destructive power of a Progenitor was extremely terrifying.
The person in charge was Lu Tianyi.
These leaders were actually there to make it easier for Lu Yin to communicate and command. Although there were less than ten thousand people, the power that these people could display was beyond imagination. It was impossible for them to be integrated and used, which was not in line with Lu Yin's original intentions.
He did not know how many of these people would be left after the war with the spiritualized universe began.
The Five Spirit Tribes were still constantly producing, and the various parallel universes had already made the integration of resources their most important task. They were constantly sending precious resources to the Five Spirit Tribes.
In the Above Heaven, Lu Yin assigned a mission to Void Master and the others: destroy the parallel universes.
These parallel universes did not have any intelligent lifeforms. In the previous era of the Above Heaven, the Progenitor had taken in the Three Realms and Six Daos as disciples and created the Above Heaven to destroy these parallel universes so that this universe would no longer exist.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
Because there were too many parallel universes, the universe had collapsed.
Now, the Progenitor was suppressing the Sequence's Chord in Primeval City because there were too many parallel universes.
Ten years ago, Lu Yin had sent out cultivators to search for parallel universes that did not have any intelligent lifeforms and destroy them. This included parallel universes with intelligent lifeforms that could be transferred over to be destroyed.
After ten years, they had already found many parallel universes and determined their locations.
After the mission was given, Void Master, Big Sis, Wood God, and Ce Wangtian split up.
Nobody knew that the Above Heaven had increased the number of Progenitor realm cultivators. These people could not be considered Progenitors, as they only had the destructive power of a Progenitor. They were definitely not a match for a true Progenitor, but with the increase in external items, their strength would also increase.
Every Progenitor realm cultivator with destructive power would be equipped with micro-array weapons, battlefield navigation systems, rules, and so on. The more external items they had, the higher their destructive power and self-preservation ability would be. One day, they would truly be able to match Progenitor realm cultivators.
This was their path of cultivation.
Aside from them, the Heaven's Origin Universe had other ways to increase the number of Progenitor realm cultivators, such as upgrading the Primordial Cards of the Lost Clan. The more cards there were, the more Progenitor realm cultivators there would be, but the resources required to do so were similarly huge.
The human economy was on the verge of collapse, and the various parallel universes were trying to find ways to make up for it. Lu Yin had already done everything he could.
In the Fire Spirit Tribe's territory, Void Master had arrived with another person: Liu Yun.
Liu Yun was a signpost that could lead them to the spacetime they needed to destroy.
Ten years ago, Lu Yin had split up the cultivators and continuously tore through parallel universes in search of a way to destroy them. This method was very risky, but it no longer mattered to the Above Heaven's Origin Sect. No matter how many parallel universes they tore through, they were still within the Heaven's Origin Universe. There were no parallel universes in the Heaven's Origin Universe that could surpass the Above Heaven's Origin Sect's strength, or else they would have met long ago.
After finding a parallel universe and confirming it, they would leave behind a coordinate seal before returning to the Above Heaven's Origin Sect and continuing to tear through parallel universes.
These cultivators who were searching for a way to destroy parallel universes were all Progenitors, including Liu Yun, Xia Shenji, Xia Zhen, Wang Jian, and Second Life. There was also the Limitless Empire's Tenth Ring mecha owner. The entire human world had gathered a coordinate seal for them to search for.
Finally, the coordinates were given to four people, who then led Void Master and the others to destroy parallel universes.
Liu Yun followed Void Master to the place where the Fire Spirit Tribe was researching the black energy source, where he saw the 112 people who used it.
Liu Yun's feelings were indescribable.
As someone who had been controlled by a spacetime warp, he hated the black energy source and the Gift Technique to the core, especially the black energy source.
He felt that any user of a black energy source was an enemy.
Now, there were more than a hundred black energy source users standing in front of him. This power was unimaginable to him, and he almost could not believe his eyes.
Lu Yin had asked him to follow Void Master here, but he had not told him that there were more than a hundred black energy source users. This was a secret that Void Master had told him on the way here.
He could only describe this as inconceivable.
If the spacetime warp had more than a hundred black energy sources, then who in the entire Hexagon would have dared to oppose them, let alone Drifting Cloud?
The powerful Void Master had more than a hundred black energy source users. Even the Eternals would have been shocked.
Now, it was happening right in front of him.
It was too inconceivable.
