Lu Yin's eyes were still closed, as if he was resting.
Palace Mistress Yao's eyes flashed. "I told you, it's useless."
Lu Yin did not respond.
She narrowed her eyes. "We started out as ordinary people, and we've experienced too much. We're already used to life and death. Master Lu, how many times have you been through?
Instead of playing this game, why don't you think of ways to increase the strength of the Tian Yuan Universe? Our spiritualized universe is stronger than you think. "
Lu Yin's eyes were still closed, and he did not say a word.
"Whoever you want to die will die. Even if one of the three of us dies, you'll be the one to kill him. The other two don't even know what that person said. That's why you didn't let them hear it. There's no value in saying it out loud. We're not that stupid, and neither are the other two. You won't get anything."
The incense was about to end, and there were only a few bits of red left.
Palace Mistress Yao stared at the incense, and her eyes flickered. She then looked at Lu Yin and said, "I'm Yu Sang Tian's whetstone. Yu Sang Tian's cultivation method is called the Heart of Monolith. The stronger one is, the stronger this method is. When cultivated to the limit, one can change the universe and others. He's using my absolute reversal method to whet his blade and complete his Heart of Monolith."
"Only I know how strong Yu Sang Tian is. In the entire spiritualized universe, aside from the illusory Supreme, I'm the only one who understands him. His turbid treasures, spiritualized weapons, his foundation, his innate gifts, and so on … I know everything about him. I …"
Before she could finish speaking, the deathly aura engulfed her as the incense burned out.
Palace Mistress Yao looked at the pitch-black deathly aura, and her expression turned ugly. She could not help but speak. She could not guarantee that she would not die, but being alive was far better than being dead. Very few people knew about her relationship with Yu Sang Tian. As long as Yu Sang Tian existed, she would be at the top of the spiritualized universe. After restarting the Tian Yuan Universe, she would be a powerhouse who could attempt to step into the Eternal Realm.
Why should she die?
She was one of the Beyond Sky's Two Absolutes, an existence that countless people in the spiritualized universe looked up to. It would not be worth it if she died here.
How hateful.... This person had taken advantage of her weakness. No, he had taken advantage of her humanity.
She swore that she would kill this person, definitely.
Lu Yin appeared in front of Tianci and lit an incense stick without saying a word.
Looking at the rising smoke, Tianci hurriedly said, "Master Lu, I have nothing to hide. I'll tell you whatever you want to know."
Lu Yin closed his eyes.
Ask?
How to ask?
The human heart was unfathomable. If he asked, Tianci would be able to see through him.
To Tianci, staying alive was the most important thing. If he wanted to live, he could not hide anything.
Lu Yin did not ask, nor did he say anything. He had only given Tianci one chance, and Tianci did not dare to gamble on it.
Back in Above Heaven, when he had faced Lu Yin and the Three Realms and Six Daos, he had done his best to hide something. But now, it was impossible. This was Lu Yin's confidence, unless he revealed a secret that would kill him. For example, "Slave" or "Heaven."
Karma, Heaven's Seal, and Heaven's Grace all had the word "Heaven" before they died. And on their bodies, there was definitely the word "Slave".
From the looks of it, only an Eternal Realm Grass Grandmaster could enslave them, but Lu Yin still felt that something was missing.
"Master Lu, I'll tell you everything, but I don't know what you want to know. Give me some time, and I'll organize everything I know about the spiritualized universe and the Tianyuan Universe.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
I'll give it to you. If you kill me, I'll be worthless. My life is my greatest value to you. "
"Trust me, I won't disappoint you."
Lu Yin's eyes remained closed as he allowed Tianci to speak.
He was actually the same as Palace Mistress Yao, but his choices were different. She did not say anything until the incense stick burned to the last moment, while Tianci continued to spout nonsense. He was also worthless to Lu Yin.
When half of the incense stick had burned, Tianci saw that Lu Yin's eyes were still closed, and his face was pale. "Master Lu, since you've already dealt with our spiritualized universe and encountered that battle, it means that you know about us. Through whom?
The Genesis?
Or a being from the Consciousness Universe? "
"I don't know how much you know about the relationship between our three universes. Do you know the springboard?"
Lu Yin's eyes were still closed, and he did not respond.
Tianci was aggrieved. This feeling of wanting to save his life but not knowing if he could do so made him want to vomit blood. No matter how much he hated Lu Yin, at this moment, he had to think of a way to say something valuable.
"There's a springboard between our spiritualized universe, the Consciousness Universe, and the Tianyuan Universe. We came up with the name 'springboard'. Our three universes are about the same distance from each other, but there's an incomprehensible celestial body in the middle. Once you get on that celestial body, you can rush in any direction as long as you can withstand the pressure of the impact. That's how the first wave of people from our spiritualized universe came here.
"We used the springboard to get to the Consciousness Universe, and we can also use it to get to the Tianyuan Universe. That previous battle was just a test. If the Tianyuan Universe was not strong enough, our first wave of people would be able to deal with you. But if we couldn't, then a second wave of people would arrive at any time. Then, a third, a fourth, and so on would join forces with the first wave. Our mission is to build a similar springboard behind the stone door.
"After so many years, we can already attempt to build it. Once it's completed, we can jump from the Tianyuan Universe to the springboard between the three universes. It'll take us at most ten years, which is considered very short. You should know that it took me a long time to get from the spiritualized universe to the Tianyuan Universe. It took me more than ten thousand years, and I hadn't even learned how to use the springboard back then …"
Lu Yin looked calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil. He had not expected such a thing to happen.
From the very beginning, the Ancestor had told them that the Consciousness Universe was blocked by the spiritualized universe. If they wanted to get from the Consciousness Universe to the Tianyuan Universe, they had to go through the spiritualized universe. The spiritualized universe was located between the Consciousness Universe and the Tianyuan Universe.
At that time, Lu Yin had just learned about the spiritualized universes and the Consciousness Universe after the Battle of Immemorial City.
From that moment on, he had a fixed understanding of the three universes. He did not believe everything that the Ancestor had said, but he had never doubted this point.
Now, he knew that this was the biggest lie.
The three universes were roughly the same distance from each other, and they formed a triangle. There was a springboard in the middle of this triangle, and whoever seized the springboard would have the initiative.
The Ancestor might not have known about the springboard's existence, but she had said that to force the Tianyuan Universe to go to war with the spiritualized universe. If she had known about the springboard's existence and had deliberately concealed its existence, then her thoughts would have been complicated.
At that moment, Lu Yin overturned everything that the Ancestor had said, and he began to understand the three universes in a new light.
Tianci continued to speak, but he did not know if Lu Yin cared about what he was saying because Lu Yin did not react. However, Lu Yin did not interrupt him, so Tianci could only continue.
What Tianci said next was nothing more than some war situations and things that had happened in the Tianyuan Universe. It did not shock Lu Yin as much as it had before.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
Lu Yin was still immersed in the matter of the springboard.
Most of the incense had burned, and only a little was left.
Beads of sweat dripped down Tianci's forehead, but he did not see any reaction from Lu Yin. He racked his brains to think of some secrets, but what secrets could he reveal?
What value could he bring to Lu Yin?
One was the Primordial Origin, Sang Tian, and the other was Palace Mistress Yao, who was close to Yu Sang Tian. It would be too difficult for Tianci to fight for his life against these two. Unless …
The incense was about to burn out.
Lu Yin opened his eyes, and his gaze was indifferent and emotionless.
From Tianci's point of view, Lu Yin looked like he was looking at a dead man.
"Master Lu, what did they say?
Was it the Primordial Origin or Palace Mistress Yao?
Don't believe them. They're lying to you. I'll do my best to help you. I'll help you deal with the Eternals, and I can even help you deal with the spiritualized universe. I'll do anything. "Tianci was anxious.
Lu Yin slowly raised a hand and pressed it against Tianci's head under his horrified gaze. "Master Lu, there's one more person. There's one more person that you haven't mentioned. You said that you wanted to wait for all three of them to finish."
He thought that Lu Yin was going to kill him.
Lu Yin stared at Tianci's forehead. "There should be a word there."
Tianci's eyes narrowed, and his face went pale.
Lu Yin looked at the incense. "It's almost over."
Tianci gulped. "It's Master Qingcao."
"Who else?"
"The Protectors of the Four Directions. I only know of them. I don't know if there's anyone else."
"Who does that blood-red sword belong to?" Lu Yin asked.
Tianci's voice trembled. "Master … Master Qingcao."
The incense burned out, and darkness swallowed Tianci. Tianci watched Lu Yin disappear, and his heart skipped a beat. There was only one incense left. After that, one of the three would die. That damned Game, that damned Lu Yin. What would those two have said?
He did not doubt that Lu Yin would kill one of them, because that was the only way the remaining two would cooperate with Lu Yin. This was a show of strength.
Taking the lives of Primordial Realm and even Bitter Adversity Realm powerhouses was a show of strength.
After lighting the incense, Lu Yin appeared in front of the Primordial Origin and closed his eyes, just like before.
The Primordial Origin was calm. "Master Lu, can I ask what those two said?"
Lu Yin did not respond.
The green smoke blurred Lu Yin's face.
Yuan Qi shook his head. "No matter what they say, it's not as important as this old man's secret. However, this secret will not only be exchanged for this old man's life, but I also hope that Master Lu can promise not to kill me when the Tian Yuan Universe is finally defeated, when there's no way to resist. This old man will remember your kindness and do my best to protect the people you want to protect.
Lu Yin still did not respond.
The incense slowly burned.
The Primordial Origin frowned. "Our deal is definitely worth it. Before this, I would answer whatever you asked without any secrets. However, the secret of this deal is something that I've hidden for many years, a secret that no one else knows about. This secret is worth so much that it's enough for you to save my life."
Lu Yin still did not respond.
The Primordial Origin lowered his voice. "Master Lu, I'm the spiritualized universe's Sang Tian. A dead Sang Tian has no value to you. If you wanted me dead, I wouldn't have lived until now. The other two can't hear anything the three of us say. Who lives and who dies is up to you, Master Lu. My value is definitely greater than the other two."
Lu Yin was calm, and his eyes were closed as if he had fallen asleep.
