Wei Nü wanted to use the forbidden zone to deal with him, and he wanted to see what would happen here.
He made the same choice again.
Lu Yin made the same choice as before, wanting to see if it would bring about the same results.
As Yan Feng and Bazeer fell, time around Lu Yin sped up, just like what had happened to him in the past.
Lu Yin watched himself go through the Sovereign Tournament, the battle with the Four Libras, the Six Directions Association, the battle at Immemorial City, the battle with the spiritualized universe, and finally, Wei Nü brought him into the mirage domain and the forbidden zone.
Lu Yin opened his eyes and looked around. There were still trees and fruits that looked like him. He hurriedly looked at himself and relaxed; he wasn't a fruit.
But if he wasn't a fruit, then was he the giant Lu Yin?
Wasn't he the giant Lu Yin to those fruits?
Was he Lu Yin or the giant Lu Yin?
Lu Yin was confused.
He couldn't see clearly as the fog of time enveloped him.
A figure walked out of the fog.
Lu Yin's gaze froze; was it the president or Wei Nü?
There wasn't just one figure.
Four people had entered the forbidden zone: himself, the Desolate Ancestor, the president, and Wei Nü.
Two figures had appeared at the same time, so there had to be enemies.
Lu Yin stared ahead, ready to act at any moment.
When the figures walked out of the fog, his expression changed. How could it be them?
It was Jenny Auna and Yan Gang who appeared in front of him.
Lu Yin stared blankly; how could it be them?
Yan Gang was definitely dead, and Lu Yin hadn't paid any attention to Jenny Auna. She was either dead or on Zenyu Star, so why was she here?
Lu Yin approached the two.
Their eyes were dazed, and they walked like puppets as they approached Lu Yin.
Lu Yin frowned and walked off in a different direction. The rest of the group followed him in the same direction.
Their eyes were filled with confusion, and they stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin didn't move, and so did they.
Lu Yin looked at the two; was this his own karma?
He didn't care about Yan Gang; an enemy was an enemy, and Lu Yin didn't regret it. However, he had once felt guilty towards Jenny Auna.
Everyone was born with freedom, and Jenny Auna had never liked him. It was only because the Auna family needed her that she was forced to marry him. It was unfair to her, and she had resisted.
She liked Yan Feng. She married Yan Feng because she wanted to marry someone she liked. She didn't want to scheme against her.
Firesmelt Planet had been destroyed, and Yan Feng had died. She had been imprisoned by the Auna family and abandoned by many of Lu Yin's supporters.
From the beginning to the end, this woman only wanted her own love.
He didn't regret ruining that wedding, as he wanted to fight for himself. He didn't regret it then, and he still didn't regret it now. The only thing that had affected him was Jenny Auna.
Jenny Auna was born into the Auna family and received the resources and protection of the Auna family. She had also acted willfully and recklessly in the past. This was her cause, so she had to bear the consequences of the Auna family's actions. There was no exception.
He had already discussed this with Jenny Auna and asked the Auna family not to make things difficult for her.
He had no idea what had happened to this woman.
Jenny Auna and Yan Gang were his fruits. Were they following him now, or had they always been there?
Was it just that he couldn't see them?
Lu Yin stared at the two in a daze. Were they following him now, or could they not see him?
This was very important.
He slowly approached the two.
They seemed to maintain a certain distance from him, and as long as he didn't cross that distance, they wouldn't move.
Lu Yin walked up to them and raised his hand to touch Jenny Auna.
In an instant, the world spun once more, and Lu Yin returned to San Dios, where he stared straight ahead.
"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 looked around, amused. Karma. So these two were his karma, and he had to touch them.
In that case, he should try a different option this time.
He obediently left.
Yan Feng, Bazeer, Jenny Auna, and the rest were all shocked.
He left just like that?
Countless people who saw this scene could not believe their eyes. Lu Yin had ruined the wedding in such a high-profile manner, and he had left just like that?
Lu Yin left, and time began to pass.
After he left, the wedding went on as usual. Jenny Auna happily married Yan Feng, and Yan Feng ascended to the top.
However, no matter how glorious he was, that was only in the Outerverse, and he was still far from the level of the Ten Arbiters.
The only one who could truly replace Lu Yin was Nightking Zhenwu.
Nightking Zhenwu possessed absolute power and terrifying schemes. Lu Yin had once died, and Nightking Zhenwu had been known as the leader of the Ten Arbiters. He had been expected to participate in the contest for the Star Tower in the Neoverse, and even Starsibyl had been his subordinate at that time.
This time, Lu Yin had chosen not to show off his abilities. The future had changed, and he had lost a lot of support and opportunities. To others, such changes did not exist.
Nightking Zhenwu successfully became the leader of the Ten Arbiters and defeated the other Ten Arbiters. Starsibyl had dressed him in robes, and he had continued to make breakthroughs in the Star Tower battles. He had become one of the Five Children of the Stars, and he had headed to the Astral Tree Domain. There, he had helped the Daynight clan break free from the Cold Immortal Sect's control and returned to the Fifth Mainland to unify it.
Time continued to pass. Aside from his absolute power and innate gift, Nightking Zhenwu's schemes were also terrifying. Even though the Daynight clan had once been servants of the Cold Immortal Sect, they had gradually risen to a position comparable to the Four Cardinal Scales under his leadership. They had led the Fifth Mainland to compete for the Astral Tree Domain and participated in the battle on the back of the Astral Tree Domain. In the end, they had won the recognition of the Four Cardinal Scales and become the Fifth Cardinal Scale. They had bent down to contact the Six-Way Society and replaced the Three Sovereigns' Spacetime.
They had opened up the Three Sovereigns' Spacetime and lured the Eternals into a trap. They had forced the Six-Way Society to fight the Eternals, causing both the Six-Way Society and the Eternals' first Zone of Disaster to suffer heavy losses. Nightking Zhenwu had taken advantage of the situation to rise up and establish the Arbiter's Sect …
One by one, even though the paths taken were different, the results were similar.
The Arbiter Arbiter, the Sect, the Eternals' first Zone of Disaster.
Whatever Lu Yin had done in the past, Nightking Zhenwu could do the same with his strength and methods.
He was like the sun in the sky, known as the master of the sect above. Even though he was not respected by the Primordial Space because he did not have a bottom line, he did not need to be respected. He only recognized his own strength.
He had survived numerous life and death crises. No one knew how many times the Fireplume Race had died in his place. He would always stand up again.
Compared to Lu Yin, his scheming personality made Tianci and the other Guardians feel less threatened. The more shameless a person was, the less of a threat they were.
The Guardian of the Four Directions could not be used, and the threat of the spiritualized universe had not come for the time being. Some people were still alive, and some were dead.
The Abandoned Path, Calamity Crusade, Ye Rou, and the others had also gathered at the Above Heaven Sect for various reasons.
This was karma, and even if Lu Yin wasn't around, the situation would still develop in the same way.
In the eyes of the universe, what was a good person?
What is a bad person?
It was just a cycle of karma.
Lu Yin walked forward. He had people he cared about, people who supported him.
Nightking Zhenwu also walked forward. He also had people he cared about and people who supported him.
Lu Yin returned to the forbidden area once more. This time, Nightking Zhenwu walked out of the fog of time. His gaze was not dazed, but rather profound as he looked at Lu Yin.
"You made the right choice," Nightking Zhenwu said.
Lu Yin met his gaze. "Let you take the position?"
"At the very least, the Tian Yuan Universe will not face such a great crisis."
Nightking Zhenwu clasped his hands behind his back, just like when he had ascended to the position of master of the Above Heaven Sect.
Lu Yin calmly replied, "The crisis won't disappear just because it won't come."
"The Tian Yuan Universe will have plenty of time to develop under my leadership."
"But you have no bottom line. Are you really protecting the Tian Yuan Universe?"
"How many people are born every day?
How many people die?
This is just a cycle. Haven't you seen through it yet?
This is the cycle of karma. "
Nightking Zhenwu was confident. "You can change the history of the Tian Yuan Universe, and this cycle can also appear. Those ordinary people also have their own cycle of karma."
"If one person causes the death of another, then that person will eventually be harmed by the karma brought about by the other person. No one can escape the cycle of karma."
Lu Yin stared at Nightking Zhenwu. "What about you?
Without a bottom line, how many people have you caused to die?
What kind of karma will you bear? "
"It's the same for you. Many people have died because of you. Otherwise, why would you be talking to me?" Nightking Zhenwu asked.
Lu Yin laughed. "I want to see through karma."
Nightking Zhenwu proudly replied, "Karma is to let you see clearly that I am the one who can stand at the peak of the Tian Yuan Universe. Didn't you boast about protecting those ordinary people?
Because of you, too many dangers have erupted in the Tian Yuan Universe. How long can those ordinary people live?
I'm different. I can allow the Tian Yuan Universe to exist for countless more years. "
"Generation after generation."
"The result will still be the same," Lu Yin retorted.
Nightking Zhenwu shouted, "At least they won't die."
"Who was the first to be deified by you?
Nong Yi, he's dead. "
"Who went to the dark spacetime to look for you?
Who fought alongside you against Mo Shang?
Dan Zheng is dead. "
"Who supported you the most?
Leng Qing is dead. "
"Who was the most selfless to you?
Even the Ancestral Realm exists for you?
Elder Chan is dead. "
"Who taught you?
The crazy headmaster who helped you rise from nothing is dead. "
"Lu Yin, these people died because of you. They died because you were too much of a threat. You didn't know how to hide your strength and bide your time. You showed off your abilities, and you protected your bottom line. But it was precisely because of these bottom lines that these people died. Can you face them?"
Lu Yin closed his eyes, and familiar faces flashed past his mind. At this moment, he suddenly felt tired. Very tired, so tired that he wanted to sleep.
"The Lu family will return, and I will resolve the conflict between the Lu family and the Four Cardinal Scales. At that time, you will still be Lu Xiaoxuan. Isn't it good for you to live your life happily?
Why let so many people die for you? "Nightking Zhenwu shouted.
Lu Yin opened his eyes and looked at Nightking Zhenwu. "Then go ahead and do it. I want to see what kind of consequences there will be for your actions."
Nightking Zhenwu disappeared.
