Yuanqi did not say anything else, as he had already said what he needed to say. This secret could not be revealed under these circumstances, or else it would be too worthless.
This secret was his trump card, one that would ensure his survival.
The incense continued to burn, and soon, it was nearing its end.
Yuanqi's eyes flashed as he looked at Lu Yin. This person would not really kill him, right? Impossible! Yuanqi was a Sang Tian, a powerhouse who had survived the Bitter Adversity. If this person had any brains, he would have kept Yuanqi alive in case he needed to fight the spiritualized universe in the future.
The incense was nearing its end.
Lu Yin's breathing was slow, but there was no change. He closed his eyes and waited for the final moment.
Yuanqi's face twitched. "Master Lu, do you agree to my deal?
This secret is enough for your Tian Yuan Universe to survive. "
He then stared at Lu Yin's face, but Lu Yin remained expressionless.
Seeing that the incense was about to burn out, Yuanqi gritted his teeth. No matter how big the secret was, it was worthless if Lu Yin did not believe it. Yuanqi did not want to die with this secret. He had been in the Tian Yuan Universe for so many years, so why should he die?
"I was exiled." Yuanqi's voice sounded in Lu Yin's ears.
Lu Yin was shocked, but he remained expressionless.
Yuanqi did not look at Lu Yin and instead sank into his memories. "I was one of the Seven Great Sang Tians of the spiritualized universe, and I stood at the peak. Even if the spiritualized universe wanted to help the Eternals, it would not allow me to come to the Tian Yuan Universe and fight in Primeval City all year round. This was not of my own volition, and I had no choice.
"Yu Sang Tian was the true ruler of the spiritualized universe. Even if there was an illusory Supreme Pole, many people believed that it was fabricated by Yu Sang Tian. The true ruler of the spiritualized universe was Yu Sang Tian, and his goal was to stabilize the spiritualized universe. Otherwise, without a Supreme Pole, Yu Sang Tian might not have been able to suppress the Seven Great Sang Tians.
"With these doubts in mind, I secretly followed Yu Sang Tian to the depths of Beyond Heaven's Palace."
His eyes were filled with fear. "I did not see the Supreme Pole, but I saw Yu Sang Tian and the spiritualized universe's greatest secret."
He looked at Lu Yin. "A spiritualized universe has long since conquered a universe, and it can be restarted."
Lu Yin's eyes widened, and he could not hold himself back.
Yuan Qi laughed: "Master Lu, this secret is very valuable, right?"
Lu Yin stared at Yuan Qi, "Impossible."
Yuan Qi smiled bitterly, "I also thought that it was impossible, but it happened. I didn't see that universe, and the Heaven's Beyond Supreme Heaven Palace couldn't reach that universe. However, I heard Yu Sang Tian's voice. A person would go crazy if they kept their secret for too long. Yu Sang Tian needed a place where he could talk, even if it was empty."
"Of course, there's also the possibility that he's talking to the Empyrean Extremity, but the possibility of that is not high. Otherwise, the Empyrean Extremity would have discovered me."
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes and listened quietly.
"I heard Yu Sang Tian's words. That universe is called the Small Spiritual Universe. The reason it hasn't been rebooted is that it hasn't been developed for a long time. There aren't that many parallel universes, so it can't be rebooted. If that universe had developed as long as the Tian Yuan Universe, it would have been rebooted long ago, and Yu Sang Tian would have stepped into the Eternal Realm."
Yuan Qi looked at Lu Yin. "Even so, with the existence of that universe, the spiritualized universe has always been a thing of the past.
What they're waiting for is not to defeat the Consciousness Universe and the Tian Yuan Universe, but the Small Spiritual Universe. They're waiting for time. "
"The years of war in Immemorial City made me understand that the reason why the Consciousness Universe and the Tian Yuan Universe are at war is because the spiritualized universe itself can't bear too many contradictions. A unified cultivation model means that there's a lack of competition and killing. There's a lack of people who died while exploring the unknown path. The spiritualized universe can't bear the existence of those people, so it can only send them out to fight."
"The spiritualized universe needs a place to vent its conflicts. It needs a common enemy to perfect the path of cultivation. Everyone also needs a place where they can fight. They need a goal. That's why the consciousness universe has persisted for so long. Yu Sang Tian doesn't really want to restart the consciousness universe. Restarting the consciousness universe will only allow us Sang Tian to step into the Eternal Life Realm. He needs to step into the Eternal Life Realm himself. This is his selfishness."
That's why he wants to step into the Eternal Realm. "" If not for that, the Consciousness Universe might have been defeated long ago. As for your Tian Yuan Universe, it was originally the same. He disintegrated the Sect above Heaven and got rid of Tai Chu, who was most likely to break through to the Eternal Realm. If he wanted to restart the Tian Yuan Universe, he could do so at any time. Even the Eternals were just pawns for Yu Sang Tian to fulfill his own selfish desires. He didn't need to restart the two universes. He only needed a fixed place to fight. "
"However, with your appearance, the Sect above Heaven rose again and even defeated the Eternals. Everything changed."
Yuanqi laughed. "I think that when Yu Sang Tian learned of your rise and how quickly you defeated the Eternals, he already sent people over. However, it was still too late. For some reason, the first wave of people was a step too late, allowing you to deal with the fundamental threat of the Eternals first and gather the entire Tian Yuan Universe to fight against the spiritualized universe. This is something that Yu Sang Tian didn't expect, but I guess it doesn't matter to him. The Spiritual Universe ensures that he will definitely step into the Eternal Realm. No matter how much the Tian Yuan Universe struggles, it can't escape fate."
"Your fate can only be decided by Yu Sang Tian."
Lu Yin understood. "Is this why you're doing everything you can to survive?"
Yuanqi sighed deeply. "It's not worth dying at the hands of a civilization that's destined to have no future."
"Since you know Yu Sang Tian's secret, why would he let you live?" Lu Yin didn't understand. If he were Yu Sang Tian, he wouldn't have let Yuanqi live.
Yuanqi was afraid. "Of course he wouldn't let me live, but I'm Yu Sang Tian. Even if there's a gap between us, it won't be easy for him to kill me. The only one who can truly kill me is Wushang Ji. Although Yu Sang Tian is powerful, it's impossible for him to kill me without alerting the other Sang Tians. He's also afraid that I'll reveal everything, so he exiled me as part of a deal."
"This secret can be exposed, but Yu Sang Tian needs time. I've been in the Tian Yuan Universe for too long, and the time he's waiting for might have already arrived. He doesn't care about me anymore."
Neither of them noticed that the incense stick had long since burned out.
Yuanqi's secret was too big, so big that Lu Yin needed time to think about it.
Tianci's words had overturned the impression that his ancestor had given him, and Yuanqi's words had overturned the impression that this war had affected three universes.
Everyone had their own selfish motives, and Lu Yin had long found it strange. The spiritualized universe wanted to restart the Tian Yuan Universe or the Consciousness Universe so that many people who had survived the Bitter Adversity could step into the Eternal Realm. Was it really possible?
This was too idealistic.
Lu Yin admitted that he hoped to bring his loved ones, friends, and even those who respected him to a certain height. The possibility of that happening was not high, and there was no need for that.
Speaking of the Eternal Realm.
Since the development of the Tian Yuan Universe, had there ever been an Eternal Realm expert?
Master Qing Cao was from the spiritualized universe, the Third Barrier had an Immortal Master, and Mister Mu's universe had one. Other than that, there seemed to be no one else. Where did the spiritualized universe get the confidence to let everyone who had survived the Bitter Adversity step into the Eternal Realm?
Even if it was not the Eternal Realm, it was still a fantasy to let many Sequence Law Realm experts step into the Primordial Realm together after the universe was rebooted.
However, those from the spiritualized universe firmly believed in it.
All of this was due to Yu Sang Tian. He had never thought of really realizing this. What he cared about was the Little Spiritual Universe. Rebooting the Little Spiritual Universe and stepping into the Eternal Realm was his goal.
The war of the three universes was just a foil. In other words, it was to choose who could accompany him on his journey.
"Yu Sang Tian must be very concerned about the defeat of the first wave of people from the spiritualized universe. He will not allow anyone from the Tian Yuan Universe to step into the Eternal Realm. Tai Chu is now free. Coupled with Master Lu, who has cultivated to such a realm in a hundred years, Yu Sang Tian might personally attack the Tian Yuan Universe," Yuan Qi said.
Lu Yin slowly said, "This is a good thing. It means that the Little Spiritual Universe is not mature yet."
Yuan Qi nodded. "Indeed. To increase the number of parallel universes in the Little Spiritual Universe, one must constantly increase the number of Progenitors and expand the ancestral worlds one after another. This will take time. In fact, many experts from the Beyond Heaven's Supreme Palace came from the Little Spiritual Universe. They cultivated there, but they did not know. Only Yu Sang Tian knows."
Lu Yin's gaze was solemn. Increasing the number of Progenitors would increase the number of parallel universes. Yu Sang Tian knew this, so how could the Primogenitor not know?
That was why the Primordial Space had the Origin Calamity. However, it did not mean certain death, and there was a chance of survival. This was the Primogenitor's benevolence.
If the Primogenitor had not allowed the increase of Progenitors, the Origin Calamity would have spread to the parallel universes. The Tian Yuan Universe might not have faced such a crisis, but that would have been too unfair to the later generations.
The Primogenitor would rather suppress the Sequence's String and lose his freedom than do such a thing. This was the Primogenitor of the Tian Yuan Universe.
"Does the Ultimate Pinnacle really exist?" Lu Yin asked.
Yuan Qi shook his head. "I don't know. It has existed for many years, but it is only a legend."
"What is the strength of the legend?"
Yuan Qi paused. "Infinitely close to the Eternal Realm. Another way of saying it is the Perfect Calamity Realm."
"Not the Eternal Realm?"
"I really don't know. I've never seen it before. Only Yu Sang Tian has."
"Then, what about Grandmaster Grass?"
"I don't know if he is the Ultimate Pinnacle, but if he is the Eternal Realm, then it is very likely."
Was Grandmaster Grass the Ultimate Pinnacle of the spiritualized universe?
No one gave Lu Yin an answer.
The only thing he was certain of was that if he was not the Ultimate Pinnacle, then he was definitely an existence even higher than the Ultimate Pinnacle. This was because Grandmaster Grass was in the Eternal Realm.
There was also another possibility. Lu Yin's eyes flashed. Grandmaster Grass was not a spiritualized universe, but he controlled it. Perhaps the Ultimate Pinnacle was his puppet.
There were all sorts of possibilities. It was either Yu Sang Tian, Grandmaster Grass, or the Eternal Realm. Only these three people could give him an answer.
As for Tianci, he claimed to be Grandmaster Grass's slave, and that the blood-red sword also belonged to Grandmaster Grass. Lu Yin did not believe that.
