At first, the Above the Sky Sect had kept the warfront a secret, but as the war spread and Meng Sang's massacre of Astral-10, the news gradually leaked out.
Now that the warfront had been won, Lu Yin did not want others to speculate, so he announced the war to the entire universe.
Even though everyone was shocked by the invasion of the other universes, the news of the first victory excited everyone. No matter what the outcome of the war was, they would fight to the end.
There would definitely be fear, but if they could not avoid it, they would have to fight to the death.
Lu Yin tossed the spiritualized geniuses into the fifth pagoda and made them part of his inheritance. Anyone who entered the fifth pagoda could challenge them and familiarize themselves with the spiritualized universe's cultivation.
These geniuses were only worth this much, and it was impossible to learn much about the spiritualized universe from them.
Lu Yin did not plan on interrogating these people at all. He had a simpler method, which was to have them cultivate a unique power and then roll his die to fuse with them and read their memories. Just like with Furball and Qing Xian, the memories would not be fake, and it would be much more efficient than interrogating them.
Palace Mistress Yao was different. She was unmoved by force or persuasion, and she was not afraid of death. She also did not cultivate any power.
Compared to her, Primordial Fiend was much more obedient and would answer any questions. In his own words, the Tian Yuan Universe would definitely be defeated, and he hoped to survive until then. As for the information about the spiritualized universe that he leaked, he did not care about how much trouble or loss it would bring to the spiritualized universe.
Although the spiritualized universe had a unified cultivation method, it was precisely because this method was too fixed that the resources were also fixed. It was even harder for the spiritualized universe to obtain resources than the cultivators of the Tian Yuan Universe, and the competition for benefits was also more intense.
Zhan Yan had given up on saving Primordial Fiend in order to obtain Sang Tian's position, and Lu Yin had seen through some of the spiritualized universe's secrets.
Just as Wang Wen had said, this was because the cultivation culture of each universe was different. If one wanted to win the war, one had to consider not just strength, but also the cultivation culture. This often had miraculous effects, and Lu Yin called it a strategic attack.
The Tian Yuan Universe constantly sent out experts to hunt down the spiritualized cultivators that had escaped. Lu Yin was not worried that these cultivators would kill the innocent, as they had only escaped because they wanted to wait for reinforcements. During this time, they would try their best to hide and not be surrounded.
What Lu Yin and the others needed to do now was to ferret these people out.
"It's very difficult. They are all experts. Searching aimlessly is harder than searching for a needle in a haystack." Wang Wen felt a headache coming on.
Lu Yin sat by the stone table and laughed. "I've always felt that nothing can stump you."
Wang Wen rolled his eyes. "You think too highly of me. I'm not even an Envoy, and I barely managed to break through to the Enlighter realm. Right now, I'm facing at least a Progenitor, so how can I do anything?"
"You should look for Wei Rong. That guy is famous for his treachery. Although he isn't strong, no one in the Above Heaven Sect dares to offend him. No one knows when that guy will plot against you."
Lu Yin recalled the battle with the spiritualized universe and Wei Rong's arrangements, and he nodded in agreement.
To be honest, he didn't know how Wei Rong had thought of this. The setup was very simple, extremely simple. The difficult part was why he had made such a setup at that time. What was the meaning behind it?
For whom?
What was the point of preparing?
None of these questions could be answered, but Wei Rong had done it anyway. He had directed and acted out a play. Perhaps no one would ever see this play, but he had done it very seriously.
"Wei Rong's most treacherous part is his setup. It's not for the present, but for the future."
Wang Wen looked at the surface of the lake. "If a person wants to fish, they will only fish when they feel like it, whether it's out of interest or hunger. Wei Rong was nothing. He had no interest in fishing, nor was he hungry, but he still went to fish. No one could understand why he did it, until one day, a bored person came and made a promise that he could exchange the fish in the lake for treasures."
"No one knew that such a thing would happen, and no one could have imagined that such a thing would happen. Wei Rong eventually became the person with the most treasures, and he almost emptied that bored person's treasures because he had long since started fishing for a blank future."
Lu Yin's eyes flickered. "Opportunities are given to those who are prepared, but the chances are too slim. Who knows where they will be?
Wei Rong is like a fish that can be fished. He cast a wide net, and he will always be able to catch one. All he has to do is spend his time doing something boring. "
At this point, he looked at Wang Wen. "What about you?
How will you seize the opportunity? "
Wang Wen smiled brilliantly. "I like to wait for opportunities to come to me. Those who are willing to take the bait."
Lu Yin laughed. "Then let Wei Rong catch the rats."
The words "catch the rats" suddenly appeared in the Tian Yuan Universe.
This news had spread from the Above Heaven Sect, and it quickly spread throughout the various parallel universes of the Tian Yuan Universe. Countless people were excited, as the rats referred to the powerhouses from the spiritualized universe that had escaped.
Even Progenitors, those who had comprehended the laws of the Sequence, and even those who had reached the level of Sang Tian, had been called rats. Countless people in the Tian Yuan Universe cheered for Master Lu's name.
It was as if they could see the day when the Tian Yuan Universe completely defeated the spiritualized universe.
…
In the deep universe, the sky was filled with stars. Stone houses were arranged in an irregular manner in the desert. Although they seemed irregular, if one observed carefully, they would discover that these stone houses corresponded to the stars in the night sky. It was as if the stars had been moved down horizontally.
With the night sky and the desert as two sides, the stars that could be seen from one side of the desert would also be seen from the other side.
This was a planet that belonged to an ancient civilization, and it was located in an unknown spacetime. The people here believed in the stars, and regardless of whether it was the layout of the houses or the battle arrays, everything had to correspond to the stars.
On the roof of one of the stone houses, a figure with golden and dark-red light swirling around him looked up. No one knew what he was thinking.
Suddenly, the starry sky was distorted, and someone arrived.
Several stone houses around lit up, and many people looked over.
"Why don't you help?" the newcomer asked. It was Tianci.
He had escaped from the battlefield at the border of the Tian Yuan Universe and found this place. He looked at the One True God in front of him.
The One True God was still looking at the night sky. "I am not from your spiritualized universe."
"But we are cooperating," Tianci said.
The One True God did not speak.
Tianci's face darkened. "The war was defeated, and Sang Tian fled. Do you know what the Sect above Heaven said?
They said they wanted to catch rats. What a joke! The people of our spiritualized universe are called rats. "
The One True God turned to look at Tianci. "Isn't that the case?"
Tianci's eyes widened. "Eternal, don't forget that restarting the Tian Yuan Universe is not only our spiritualized universe's business, but also yours. If you want to enter the Eternal Realm, you have to restart the Tian Yuan Universe. For this, how can our spiritualized universe help you?
From the beginning, Sang Tian, Zhan Yan, Black and White Godless helped you deal with this place.
As for the people of the universe, your Eternal Race can't deal with Lu Yin's Sect above Heaven. That is not our spiritualized universe's business. If you could help in the battle at the border, the result would be different. "
The One True God said calmly, "You said it yourself. If I could help."
Only then did Tianci notice the light flowing around the One True God's body. He frowned. "This is?"
The One True God smiled. "A gift from Tai Hong. What do you think?"
"Is this the reason for your failure?"
"Tai Hong is not easy to deal with. She used her own life to set up this seal for me. It is not easy to break."
Tianci did not believe him. "Tai Hong, that woman, is willing to sacrifice herself?"
The One True God said calmly, "You underestimate Tai Hong. Or rather, you overestimate her. Her persistence is deeper than you think."
Tianci was helpless. The One True God could not help. There was no one in this universe who could deal with the Primogenitor.
"Half of the spiritualized universe's power is in the Universe of Consciousness. Even if they send reinforcements here, there will not be many masters. That Lu Yin cultivated for only a hundred years to reach his current level. Who knows what level he will reach if he is given more time? There are also the Three Realms and Six Paths, Three Suns and Six Lords. They may break through at any time. Not to mention, the biggest advantage of the Tianyuan Universe compared to the spiritualized universe is time.
There is a mirage here. "" Even if it is only a few decades, the changes brought to the Tianyuan Universe will make the spiritualized universe helpless. At this time, Master Green Grass should help. He … "
Suddenly, he paused. He did not dare to say anything more. The One True God's gaze enveloped him. Tianci felt a chill.
"There are some things that can be said and some that cannot. You understand." The One True God's voice rang in Tianci's ears.
Tianci looked around. Hei Wushen and the others were not around. He needed to send them away to talk to the One True God.
"If we can't break out of this situation, what's the point of everything in the past?" Tianci was unwilling to give up.
The One True God's gaze turned cold. "The spiritualized universe did not lose much. So far, only some Progenitor Realm and Sequence Rules have died. None of Sang Tian died. When your reinforcements arrive, I will remove Tai Hong's seal. No matter how strong the Tianyuan Universe becomes, it will be useless. It will be best if that Yu Sang Tian can come."
Tianci was certain. "Yu Sang Tian will definitely come."
"Oh?" The One True God did not understand.
Tianci sneered. "Lu Yin is too smart for his own good. In the battle at the border, he used Palace Master Yao to threaten the spiritualized universe's practitioners. Now Palace Master Yao's life is in his hands. No one knows whether she is dead or alive. For Palace Master Yao, Yu Sang Tian will definitely come."
"That's good. Yu Sang Tian, me, and a few Sang Tians will not be afraid of the Tianyuan Universe." The One True God said. After that, he looked in one direction. "Yan Gang, King Qing, come out."
Tianci followed the One True God's gaze and saw two men walking out. One was ordinary with no cultivation, but the other made Tianci's gaze turn cold.
He looked at King Qing. Was this a Corpse King of the Eternal Race?
But he gave him a different feeling. How should he put it?
Compared to the Corpse Kings of the Eternal Race, he was more elegant and had an indescribable arrogance. He had never seen this kind of arrogance in any of the Eternal Race's masters, including the Three Masters and the Six Boundless Gods. It was a different kind of arrogance. It was like, like when he first came to the Tianyuan Universe, he calculated this universe with a superior attitude. In his eyes, the Tianyuan Universe would definitely be restarted and the strongest master of this universe would be killed by him.
