At the entrance of the forbidden zone, Ancestor Ku turned to look at the River of Time and saw Wei Nu passing by. He reached out to stop her, but Wei Nu's face changed into Zhao Ran's.
Ancestor Ku's pupils shrank. Zhao Ran?
Wei Nu rushed into the forbidden zone while he was still in a daze.
The next moment, Lu Yin walked out and saw Wei Nu rushing to the entrance of the forbidden zone. He sighed, but it was still too late.
Ancestor Ku regained his senses, "Who was that?"
"Wei Nu," Lu Yin said.
Ancestor Ku was shocked, "Wei Nu?
Zhao Ran? "
Lu Yin nodded and sighed, "She's Wei Nu, but she's also Zhao Ran."
Ancestor Ku looked at the forbidden zone with a complicated expression.
Zhao Ran had been with him for many years.
He was born ugly, but he walked step by step with a strong will. Outsiders thought that he was invincible, but he also needed peace in his heart.
Zhao Ran accompanied him when he was weak. During those years, he was the only one in Zhao Ran's world, and she was the only one in his world.
There was no love between them, nor was there any kinship. They were more like two confused fledglings snuggling together, heart to heart.
As his cultivation increased, he knew that he was not the one Zhao Ran was waiting for. Then, a great war broke out. He rushed into the Eternals to fight for the survival of the human race and parted with Zhao Ran.
The next thing he saw was the Above Sky Sect.
However, Ancestor Ku did not say anything to Zhao Ran. The past was the past, and Lu Yin was the one Zhao Ran was waiting for.
Although the past had dissipated, suddenly seeing Zhao Ran again, that familiar feeling still made him hesitate.
"I'm sorry."
Lu Yin shook his head, "Wei Nu is good at manipulating people. Senior, you might be one of her schemes. There's nothing to be sorry about."
"By the way, did the president come out?"
Ancestor Ku said, "No, he hasn't come out since he entered."
Lu Yin and Ancestor Ku stood at the entrance of the forbidden zone and looked inside.
Lu Yin really wanted to go in and look for him, but his rationality did not allow him to be impulsive.
Even the Primogenitor was afraid of this forbidden zone and warned the Three Realms Six Paths not to go in. Although he was stronger than the Three Realms Six Paths, he was not as strong as the Primogenitor.
Could he only wait?
Now that Wei Nu was here, Ancestor Ku could not protect her alone, but once he left the mirage, he would only have one chance to enter.
Lu Yin pondered for a moment and decided to bring people into the mirage domain when he returned. He wanted to make use of the resources that the Tian Yuan Universe had gathered.
Just as Lu Yin was about to leave, ripples spread out, and space distorted. The forbidden zone expanded, enveloping both Lu Yin and the Desolate Ancestor.
In the blink of an eye, everything began to spin, and when he looked around, he couldn't see the River of Time, nor could he see the bamboo forest or the log cabin. All he could see were grotesquely shaped trees, all of which bore fruit that resembled Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked around. What was going on?
Did Wei Nu expand the forbidden area?
Did she have the ability to do so?
Before he could think further, a familiar voice came from behind him. "You're awake too. It's not too late. Forget it. Since you're awake, eat it."
Lu Yin turned around and saw a giant looking up at him. This giant was Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was stunned. Himself?
"Everyone who wakes up looks at me like this. This karma is the best fit for my former self. Unfortunately, the path to immortality is heartless. Between the universe and my former self, I have to give up on one. If I eat you, I will soon reach the great circle."
The giant's gaze was unfamiliar to Lu Yin. It was a kind of indifference, or rather, a numbness to the outside world.
Why do I have such a gaze? Wait, what am I now? What did I eat?
Lu Yin looked down and realized that he was no longer a human, but a fruit. Like the fruits around him, he was just an awakened fruit.
Karma?
Self?
Path to immortality?
The giant raised his hand and grabbed at Lu Yin. Lu Yin's fruit was on a branch and was relatively tall, but the giant could still reach it.
The giant hand was getting closer and closer. What was going on?
What was happening?
With his strength, he had unknowingly become a fruit?
Was this the forbidden zone?
Darkness enveloped him, and the giant hand was about to grab him.
Lu Yin gritted his teeth, unwilling to accept this. This giant wasn't him, and he didn't want to be eaten. No matter what, he couldn't be eaten.
He was Lu Yin, the Dao Master of the Above Heaven Sect, the master of the Tianyuan Universe. He surpassed the Three Realms and Six Daos, and was close to the Primogenitor. He was one of the strongest people in this universe, so how could he be eaten?
The Heavenly Dao's bestowal, swallowing and spitting rivers, the ancient Earth's harmony, imitating the High Sage's … The Heavenly Dao's rejection, condensing qi … Leaping through the starry sky to lie down … Communicating with people … Swallowing and spitting rivers … Leaping through the vast expanse to lie down …
Lu Yin recited the Primogenitor's Scripture, and the giant hand in front of him became illusory.
"The Primogenitor's Scripture?
I know it too, and you can't avoid it. On the path of karma, you and I are just one of many. "
Lu Yin's pupils shrank, and he growled as he released the starry sky from his heart. At the same time, he released his consciousness from his consciousness planet. His consciousness was as firm as a boulder; this was all an illusion.
Suddenly, a beautiful dance from the Luoshen appeared.
A smile bloomed in front of him as she looked at him in a daze. "Brother Lu."
The hand suddenly shattered, and everything in front of Lu Yin's eyes and around him started to shatter, including his own body.
This was just a fruit, and it was so fragile.
Heaven and earth flipped, and the forbidden area dispersed. Lu Yin hurriedly tore through the void and returned to the Above Heaven Sect.
The scene just now had left him horrified. The feeling of being eaten by himself had been so real, and the Luoshen's final smile had been filled with infatuation. Lu Yin didn't know how to face it.
At this moment, he didn't even know what he was thinking. He just wanted to leave the forbidden area as quickly as possible.
As soon as he returned to the Above Heaven Sect, insects swarmed over from all directions, covering the entire sky.
In the distance, Yan Gang sneered, "Lu Yin, I'll return the fear and despair you brought to me tenfold today."
Lu Yin was stunned. Yan Gang?
Wasn't he dead?
With a boom, the Above Heaven Sect shattered, and the Hellwyrm was torn apart. The Azure King was drenched in blood as he stepped on a shattered turtle shell from the Ancestral Turtle.
Behind him, the Strength Beast's giant head floated, along with the corpses of Xu Wang, Wood God, Wu Tian, Hongyan Mavis, and the others.
When he saw this, Lu Yin knew that he hadn't left the forbidden area.
But this was too real.
He had ignored Meng Sang's dream, but this was even more realistic than a dream.
Even though he knew it was fake, Lu Yin couldn't control himself. He was like an outsider watching his own body madly attack the Azure King, being suppressed by the Azure King's Three Ultimate Techniques. He watched as he was injured and charged out again and again, attacking crazily, but he couldn't change the outcome.
At this moment, Lu Yin was like an outsider.
When the Above Heaven Sect shattered, a person appeared in front of Zhao Ran. It was the Destiny Daughter.
"Choose again. You are my future daughter."
The showerhead fell from Zhao Ran's hand with a soft sound. She looked at the Destiny Daughter in confusion, "You're not dead?"
The Destiny Daughter smiled, "I should've died at your hands."
"Me?"
"You."
The confusion in Zhao Ran's eyes suddenly disappeared, replaced by a deep gaze filled with indifference and coldness, "Destiny, since you ambushed me, the tributary must return to the main stream."
As soon as she finished speaking, everything seemed to rewind, as if time was flowing in reverse.
At this moment, no matter how strong the Azure King was, everything was rewinding.
In just an instant, Lu Yin's body trembled, and when he looked again, he saw a wedding taking place in San Dios.
He was actually back here?
At this moment, Lu Yin was real. He looked at his hands, himself, and controlled himself. He was no longer a third party.
"You … Why are you here?" Jenny Auna stared at Lu Yin in disbelief.
Bazeer walked out and glared at Lu Yin, "Student Lu, you're not invited to this wedding. Leave."
Lu Yin didn't speak and just looked around.
He saw Jenny Auna and Yan Gang.
The moment he saw Yan Gang, boundless killing intent rose in his heart. This was the person who had used the insectoid nest to nurture the Azure King, who had then slaughtered the Above Heaven Sect.
So that was how it was. This was a cycle of karma that had given him a chance.
Everything seemed so logical.
He originally had a chance to choose again, but the cycle of karma had brought this chance forward to a hundred years ago, to that wedding in San Dios.
It was that wedding that had started the destruction of Firesmelt Planet, and it was here that he had dealt with Yan Feng and Yan Gang.
Now, this cycle of karma had given him a chance to choose again. Would he destroy this wedding, or would he fight to the death with Firesmelt Planet?
Lu Yin stared at Yan Gang. Was this the karma that had been given to him?
Bazeer, Yan Feng, and the rest followed Lu Yin's gaze and saw Yan Gang.
Lu Yin should be paying attention to Yan Feng and Jenny Auna, but why was he staring at Yan Gang?
Yan Gang was stunned as well. Why are you staring at me?
I'm just a nobody, a follower.
He would never have dreamed that everyone's attention would be focused on him at a time like this.
Karma and karma. There was only one path to take, and if one chose karma, there would be karma.
This wedding was a trap that Yan Feng had set for Lu Yin. It didn't seem like a big deal, but at the time, Lu Yin had an engagement with the Auna family. If he had allowed Yan Feng and Jenny Auna to be together, he would have been ridiculed. It didn't seem like a big deal in the short term, but as time passed, he would have to pay a huge price.
Who would want to follow a man who didn't even dare to steal his own woman?
Lu Yin's current glory was built on his numerous battles, and he was seen as a legend by countless people in the Tian Yuan Universe. If there was such a blemish, his future would change.
Besides, this wedding had already been watched by many people.
His choice would definitely change the future.
Did he really have to choose again?
If he couldn't see through this karma, then he would.
The forbidden zone was very powerful, and he couldn't see through it right away. However, he was still one of the strongest in the Tian Yuan Universe. If the primogenitor could leave the forbidden zone, then so could he. The forbidden zone couldn't completely change his thinking.
Lu Yin knew that this was a karma within the forbidden zone that had nothing to do with the outside world.
How could the Above Heaven Sect have been destroyed by the Azure King?
Yan Gang and the Azure King were both dead.
But since he had to choose again, then he might as well choose again and see what this karma was.
