From the side, Wu Tian spoke up, "Chu Heizi didn't slaughter astral beasts for no reason. Humans are greedy, and beasts are bestial as well. Because of Heaven's Gate's prosperity, you only saw the strong side of humans. When have you ever seen people being slaughtered by astral beasts for no reason?
Most of those people were ordinary people. Some enslaved astral beasts, while others slaughtered humans. It's all relative. "
"Chu Heizi slaughtered astral beasts with his own eyes. Many people were casually killed by astral beasts."
"That era seemed peaceful, and Heaven's Gate suppressed everything. However, there were things in the dark that we couldn't see, and there were also things that you couldn't see."
Lu Yuan sneered and pointed at the astral beasts that had been unlocked. "Just ask those fellows behind you if they know about this. In their minds, slaughtering humans is normal. Who would tell you?
Would you care if you stepped on an ant while walking? "
The Desolate God growled, "Nonsense."
Lu Yuan laughed, "We were wrong because we couldn't stop the astral beasts from enslaving them. But didn't you stop them from slaughtering humans as well?
Regardless of whether it's a time of war or a time of peace, conflicts between different species will never cease. It's just a matter of seeing and not seeing. "
Hongyan Mavis interrupted Lu Yuan's words, "Of course, we also admit that that era was too dark for you Star Beasts. Master's apology to you is true, but no one will apologize to you for slaughtering the Star Beasts."
Wu Tian sighed, "Chu Heizi was too decisive and ruthless."
Lu Yin did not think that the Grim Reaper had done anything wrong. From his point of view, both the humans and astral beasts were under his rule, but the conflict between the two species was irreconcilable. If the humans wanted to enslave the astral beasts, the astral beasts would turn around and slaughter the humans. The only way to resolve this was to completely suppress one side.
The Grim Reaper slaughtered astral beasts in order to pass down their fear, and he had done it. Astral beasts were naturally suppressed and terrified by the aura of death. If he were the Grim Reaper, the next thing he would do would be to use the aura of death to suppress the astral beasts within a certain range. This would ensure that humans couldn't easily enter, and also ensure that the astral beasts couldn't leave.
This was the only solution that he could think of from his perspective.
It was cruel, but it was effective. After all, they were humans.
However, Lu Yin did not mention this.
He hadn't seen the situation of that era with his own eyes. Humans had their own standpoints, and Starry Sky Behemoths had their own standpoints. Both sides were in the right. What mattered was the strong and the weak.
Did the Aragami really not know that there were astral beasts slaughtering humans?
That might not be the case. In its opinion, it should be a small matter, but the humans themselves did not think so.
This was an irreconcilable contradiction.
"What happened in the past has already happened. Now, we are facing the risk of the universe being destroyed. Big Yellow, do you really want to betray the Tian Yuan universe and join the spiritualized universe?" Jia Lan Zhiluo's tone was cold as he stared at the Desolate God.
The Aragami replied firmly, "At the very least, I don't want to be associated with you."
"Senior, you're overthinking things. The spiritualized universe will not accept you."
The Aragami looked at him. "What do you mean?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "With Senior's strength, a spiritualized universe would definitely not be able to reject you. However, if Senior wants to bring all those astral beasts with you, that would be unrealistic. Senior, do you think that a universe with a unified cultivation method and resources would accept a large number of astral beasts?
Maybe I can accept him, but …

You need to change the word. "
Lu Yin's expression changed. "Captivity."
The Aragami was enraged, and the Avici Polearm suddenly stabbed towards Lu Yin. "Junior, how dare you!"
The Primogenitor appeared in front of Lu Yin and casually pushed the Avici Polearm aside. "Big Yellow, let him finish."
The Aragami gripped the polearm tightly and snorted before glaring at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin shrugged. "There are too many astral beasts in the Tian Yuan universe. Senior, you fell out with us because of them. If you join the spiritualized universe and can't bring these astral beasts with you, then you'll just let them be destroyed by the spiritualized universe. Where is your determination?"
"As for the spiritualized universe, they will not trust any life forms from other universes. Whether they belong to another universe or not, their auras are different. They are also afraid that these astral beasts will steal their resources. No matter how small the resources are, they are still resources."
"Senior, don't underestimate the greed of living beings. By the way, the spiritualized universe's rulers are also humans."
The Aragami gritted its teeth. Humans, humans, and humans again. Why are there humans everywhere?
It felt helpless. The Aragami still had the Primogenitor and the Three Realms and Six Daos in the Tian Yuan universe. If it joined the spiritualized universe, it would be filled with enemies everywhere. It would be even worse than the era of the Above Heaven.
No one spoke, as they were all giving the Aragami time.
It was still angry that the Above Heaven had been willing to be destroyed by the Eternals, so it could not change its mind so quickly.
The Primogenitor waved a hand, and the people around him dispersed. He wanted to speak with the Aragami alone.
No one knew what the Primogenitor and the Aragami talked about, but it was obvious that the Aragami respected the Primogenitor greatly. Even if it was angry and resentful, it still had feelings for the Primogenitor, including Lu Yuan and the others.
"Master is actually very good to Big Yellow. It really is a master-disciple relationship. What a pity." Lu Yuan sighed.
Lu Yin looked into the distance. "As the ruler of the Fourth Mainland, it allowed the Eternals to destroy it. No matter what its motives were, the Aragami is guilty in the eyes of the Above Heaven."
Even humans would fight against each other, let alone different creatures.
The Eternals had established the Kingdom of Eternity and wanted humans to coexist with the Corpse Kings, but it was impossible. Similarly, in a universe where humans had developed to a certain extent, it was impossible for them to coexist peacefully with the astral beasts.
Lu Yin looked at the astral beasts that had been unlocked, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After a long time, the Primogenitor waved at Lu Yin, and the others walked over.
"Big Yellow, tell us what happened back then," the Primogenitor said.
The Aragami's expression was gloomy as it met everyone's gaze, especially Lu Yin. It slowly said, "Master was plotted against. I don't know about this. The First Mainland was destroyed, and the Fourth Mainland was destroyed shortly after. At that time, the one who came for me was Tiangou."
"Tiangou?" Lu Yin exclaimed.
Lu Yuan and the others were stunned. They had not expected the destruction of the Fourth Mainland to be related to Tiangou.
From what they knew, Tiangou only knew how to bark and had an abnormal defense. Other than that, it had nothing else. On the battlefield, it had only been able to hold back a single human powerhouse and had not killed many people.
The Aragami said, "Tiangou came to me on behalf of the Eternals and persuaded me not to become enemies with the Eternals. At that time, because the humans were enslaving the astral beasts, I agreed. I injected the Savage Scripture into the Source Stone Technique, split myself apart, and waited for my rebirth."
"Do you really believe that you will be reborn?" Lu Yin was puzzled. No one would believe that.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
Well, this was handing over his life to someone else.
The Aragami calmly replied, "At least I won't die. Aside from the astral beasts, no one knows that I'm waiting for my rebirth, not even the Eternals. The Eternals also agreed not to attack the Fourth Mainland. When the Fourth Mainland was destroyed, a group of astral beasts died, but at least half of their bloodline was preserved."
"What's the origin of Tiangou?" Lu Yin asked. They were all too curious.
The Aragami replied, "Before the humans appeared, there were only astral beasts in the Starter Space, including the entire Tianyuan Universe. They revered chaos and existed in various races. Tiangou is a creature from that era, and its history is even older than the humans'. My race also originated from that era."
Lu Yin was shocked. "Before the humans were born?"
The primogenitor said, "Humans were not born at the same time as the universe. Before the humans appeared, there were creatures in this universe. I've heard of this chaos before, but it seems to have disappeared."
The Aragami nodded. "Chaos disappeared a long time ago. Otherwise, when Master wanted to establish the Above Heaven Sect, the first obstacle would have been Chaos. Chaos is extremely powerful, and it has no race behind it. However, it can suppress the entire universe by itself, and no astral beast dares to resist."
"Senior Primogenitor, how were humans born?" Lu Yin asked.
It was not just this universe, but the spiritualized universe had humans as well. What about the other universes?
The primogenitor shook his head. "If you're talking about birth, I really don't know. One day, I suddenly gained consciousness and appeared. I took care of the universe's operations, watched the astral beasts, and created the Astral Source's cultivation path. Taihong was the same. If you're talking about origin, I really don't know."
"The others also discovered one after another. There was no first male and female pair that created humans. Naturally, the human race appeared."
The Aragami continued, "In the beginning, humans were just ants in the universe. They were extremely weak, and they weren't even enough to fill the gaps between the astral beasts' teeth. However, their numbers grew and grew until it was terrifying. They were everywhere in the universe, and no one knew how they were born. They spread throughout the universe in the shortest amount of time, but they weren't much of a threat until Master rose to power and fought against the astral beasts. He took me in as his disciple and used my race to suppress the astral beasts. Gradually, the Above Heaven Sect was formed, and the era of humans began."
The primogenitor still had some complaints when it was brought up.
Lu Yin could imagine how difficult it had been for the primogenitor to lead the humans in that era, but now was not the time to think about that.
"How do we find Tiangou?"
The Aragami was confused. "Why do you want to find it?"
"Tiangou follows the Eternal. If we find it, we'll be able to find the Eternal and completely eradicate this scourge."
The Aragami shook its head. "It's impossible to find it unless it comes to you on its own. But that's even more difficult."
"What do you mean?" Lu Yin asked.
The Aragami explained, "Tiangou belongs to an era before humans appeared. It respects and believes in Primal Chaos. If you can find something related to Primal Chaos, with Tiangou's sense of smell, it will be able to smell it even from a parallel universe. It might come to you."
"But Primal Chaos was even more ancient, and it was difficult to find even in the Above Heaven Sect, let alone now."
"Master, you don't have it?" Hongyan Mavis asked.
The primogenitor was helpless. "When I appeared, Primal Chaos had already disappeared for a long time. I learned of its existence through some astral beasts, but I didn't find anything related to it."
