Lu Yin and the others subconsciously looked at the hive.
Around the One True God, countless sword shadows shone brightly and flew in the opposite direction of the hive. That direction was the Heavenly Hound, the Forgotten Ruins Deity, and Wang Xiaoyu.
Endless sword shadows swept through the void like fragments of time. They directly pierced through Celestial Lord Battle God, Wood God, and the others, but they were not harmed at all. At the same time, they pierced through Heavenly Hound. Finally, they pierced through Wang Xiaoyu and Wang Xiaoyu.
Lu Yin abruptly turned around and stared blankly.
Heavenly Lord Victor and Wood God looked at their own bodies. They didn't know what had happened. They didn't feel anything in that instant, but they had been penetrated.
As for the God of Forgetting Ruins and Wang Xiaoyu, they slowly disappeared.
The Only True God surveyed his surroundings. "Tian Yuan Cosmos, we Eternals will return."
After saying this, his body exploded. Fortunately, the Primogenitor had made preparations and had suppressed the might of the Sole True Divinity's explosion to the limit. Otherwise, this destructive force would have been enough to kill an Ancestor, and this space-time would have been finished.
The Only True God's body was dead, completely dead. If not for the Green King, everyone would have thought that the Only True God was dead.
However, he did not die. He would reappear in a different form. His origin power, the godly power, was still there. Whether it was the three ultimate skills of a true god or the turbid treasure, he had them all. Furthermore, because of the turbid treasure bestowed by the heavens, he had obtained the power to spiritualize the universe.
Lu Yin now understood why the One True God was willing to betray Tianci and be viewed as an enemy by the spiritualized universe in order to steal Tianci's turbid treasure.
The Turbid Treasure bestowed by the heavens was too important to him.
Perhaps he had thought of this the moment he was sealed by the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Only through rebirth could he break free from the Grand Empyrean's Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Tianci had long been targeted by him.
There was also the Forgotten Ruins Deity and Wang Xiaoyu. What was up with them?
Lu Yin looked over.
Heavenly Lord Victorious Battle, Wood God, and Heavenly Hound were still there. Only these two women had disappeared.
They didn't die, but rather were sent away by the only true deity.
But why?
Why did the One True God care so much about them?
Hei Wushen was dead, Tiangou was going to die as well. Azure King and the Eternals' Three Pillars and Liu Hao had all died, but the Sole True God didn't seem to care that much. He only cared about these two women.
There must be something wrong with these two women.
This was especially true for Wang Xiaoyu. They could all tell that there was a problem with Wang Xiaoyu's betrayal of the Fifth Mainland. Wang Xiaoyu herself was aware of this, yet she still followed the Sole True God and the others. The Sole True God also did not attack her.
All signs indicated that there was a big problem behind these two women.
Progenitor Chen arrived and looked around, but he didn't see Wang Xiaoyu anywhere. He quickly went to Lu Yin and asked, "Master Lu, where's Wang Xiaoyu?"
Lu Yin looked at Progenitor Chen, "Why are you suddenly here?"
"I can't sense Wang Miaomiao's aura," Ancestor Chen said.
Lu Yin's heart sank. Not only had he sent the Forgotten Ruins Deity and the others away, but he had also erased the power that Progenitor Chen had left behind in her body. Before the One True God's body had died, he had deliberately used the hive to divert their attention in order to help the Forgotten Ruins Deity and the others escape. What exactly was the secret that they were hiding?
Not long after, the insect nest was brought over by the Ancestor of the Giants. He went to chase after the insect nest.
Among those present, the hidden danger that the Sole True God had left behind in the Tian Yuan Universe had been resolved. Blackless God and Azure King were both dead, and although the Forgetful Ruins God and Wang Xiaoyu had been sent away, they would not be able to cause any big waves for the time being. They definitely represented some sort of secret that Lu Yin had no clue about.
The only thing left was the Heavenly Hound.
And the reason why they were able to find the One True God and the others was because they had schemed against them.
Tengu.
In the battle of Immemorial City, the only True God and the others were able to escape because of the Heavenly Hound.
This creature that had existed for longer than the entire history of mankind had finally met its end.
The Heavenly Hound opened its eyes. Its body was in tatters, having endured too many attacks.
It could withstand the attacks of the Celestial Champion Celestial and the attacks of the Three Realms and Six Paths, but there was a limit. During the battle at Immemorial City, it had already reached its limit in order to escape with the bone galleys. Now, against the Above Heaven Sect's well-prepared methods, the Heavenly Hound could not withstand them.
Lu Yin stood in front of the Heavenly Hound. "Can you speak or not?"
The Heavenly Hound's eyes were wide open, and blood flowed from the corners of its eyes. It did not look at Lu Yin, but rather at the stone orb with a look of desire.
The Desolate God walked over with the stone orb and pushed it in front of the Heavenly Hound.
The Heavenly Hound raised its head with difficulty, wanting to approach the stone orb.
Lu Yin looked at the Desolate God.
The Desolate God stood beside the stone orb and faced the Heavenly Hound. In this battle, it had also attacked the Heavenly Hound. However, regardless of whether it faced the Desolate God or the other Above Heaven Sect experts, the Heavenly Hound only stood in front of the Forgotten Ruins God and the others. It was not surprised to see the Desolate God.
"Chaos cannot return. It died a long time ago," the Desolate God said..
The Heavenly Hound's eyes were ferocious as it stared at the Desolate God and bared its teeth.
The Desolate God looked at the Heavenly Hound. "Back then, I asked you why you followed the Eternal. You have yet to answer me."
The Heavenly Hound retracted its gaze and lowered its head to stare at the stone orb.
No matter what the Desolate God said, the Heavenly Hound ignored it.
In the end, the Heavenly Hound hugged the stone orb and died.
Watching the Heavenly Hound die was like the end of an era.
Back then, the Eternals had been at their peak. The Seven Skygods, the Three Pillars, the Six Boundless Gods, the True God Guards, the Progenitor Realm Corpse Kings, and so on had suppressed the humans until they could not breathe. Now, all of this had become history.
One by one, they left.
Lu Yin stood in the starry sky, thinking about something.
The Primogenitor also returned to Immemorial City. Before he left, he patted Lu Yin's shoulder. "Zhu Zi, we should be glad. At least we know that the Eternals are not dead, and that Wang Miaomiao and the others have secrets. If not for this battle, we would not have known any of this, and we would not have cared."
"You have done very well. No one can control everything. I did not expect the Eternals to have such a move and neglected his divine power. What you did not do or think of, there will always be others who can fill in the gaps. Don't give yourself too much pressure."
"You are the one who saved the Tianyuan Universe."
After the Primogenitor left, Mister Mu arrived.
"Master, why do you think people want to see the future?" Lu Yin looked at the starry sky and asked. He did not know what he was thinking. Was he unwilling?
That was not the case. The One True God had lived for so many years, and he was already very lucky to be able to defeat the Eternals. He had gathered the resources of the entire Tianyuan Universe to defeat the first wave of enemies from the spiritualized universe. He was also very lucky. Why should he take all the good things?
But at this moment, he was confused.
Regardless of whether they were friends or enemies, they disappeared one by one, taking away the imprint that belonged to him.
Although he was still very young, he always felt that his existence was being diluted.
Everyone was born with a mission. If his mission ended, would he still exist?
This universe had karma. If he ended the karma brought about by the karma, then would he belong to the next karma?
Or the karma that had already ended?
If this karma ended, would he still exist?
Humans were too insignificant compared to the universe. So what if he stepped into the Eternal Realm? Wasn't he still living in the universe?
What was the meaning of cultivation?
When an ordinary person died, another related person would be born. Was this reincarnation?
Reincarnation was not the reincarnation of life, but the reincarnation of karma.
Humans were just a part of the reincarnation of karma. That was all.
Under Lu Yin's seemingly calm appearance, his thoughts were like an ocean in reverse, constantly churning.
The sound of the flute came from Mister Mu. He did not answer, but used the flute to calm Lu Yin's heart.
Lu Yin closed his eyes and did not think about anything. His mind was empty as he sensed the starry sky of the universe.
Mister Mu's flute echoed in the starry sky.
After an unknown period of time, the flute stopped.
Lu Yin opened his eyes and let out a long breath. "Thank you, Master."
Mister Mu looked at Lu Yin with a complicated expression. "Perhaps the eternal immortality saved you."
Lu Yin was surprised, not understanding what Mister Mu meant.
Mister Mu sighed. "You've gone mad."
Lu Yin retracted his gaze. Was that so?
Yes, he did not know what he was thinking just now.
"Little Seven, Master has also gone mad."
"In the final battle, I lost. I did not lose to an old enemy, but to an omnipotent existence."
"At that time, I also asked myself, what was my persistence?
What was the point?
In the end, it was just another person's game. "
"Master has also been confused, frustrated, and even had thoughts of dying."
Mister Mu looked at Lu Yin. "But in the end, I figured it out and came to this universe to help Tai Chu stabilize the mirage domain. Faced with the Eternal Realm in this universe, I also saved Tai Chu and took you as my disciples. I broke the game and helped you cultivate. Have you ever seen Master's frustration?"
"How did Master figure it out?" Lu Yin asked.
Mister Mu smiled. He rarely smiled and could recall it all. "Even if you're an Eternal Realm expert, aren't you also a part of the game?"
Lu Yin looked at him silently.
"In a game of chess, chess pieces are not enough. There must be a chess player. Aren't chess players also a part of the game?
Can a chess player get rid of the game?
Then he is not a chess player. "
"It's the same for an Eternal Realm expert. You think he's making the game, but in my opinion, he's making the karma."
Lu Yin's eyes widened. "Making the karma?"
Mister Mu nodded. "An Eternal Realm expert is very strong, invincible, and can kill anyone. But why is there a game?
Is it boring?
Maybe, but in my opinion, it's more about making the karma. In this game, an Eternal Realm expert is worse off than us. "
"We're passive participants, but they have to create a game and actively participate. The outcome is uncertain."
"Because they're limited by karma, they're worse off than us."
"Since they're worse off than us, why bother whether this is a game or not?"
"Whether it's a game created by an Eternal Realm expert, the laws of the universe, or karma, just let it be. Your birth was given to you by the universe. What's wrong with playing a game with it?
Just treat it as being filial to the laws of the universe. You can be filial to your parents and elders. In this universe, aren't you the greatest elder? "
Lu Yin stared at Mister Mu in a daze. Was there such a saying?
"Haha, what's wrong? Are you a rebel?"
Lu Yin took a deep breath and smiled happily. "Master, I'm very lucky to be your disciple."
Mister Mu smiled and nodded. "I'm also very lucky to have a disciple like you."
