"Well, Daolord Lu, are you sure you want to go to the spiritualized universe?"
"Don't worry, I've thought it through. It's a bit dangerous, but we can definitely survive if we go together. I believe in your strength, friend."
Star Toad really wanted to slap him, but he didn't dare.
"Then, Daolord Lu, shall we go out now?"
Lu Yin nodded, "It's not easy. After all, it's a forbidden ground."
"How about this, you come in." Then, he took out Mount Supreme and let Star Toad in.
Star Toad's face twitched. Lu Yin was going to put him under house arrest.
Lu Yin stared at Star Toad. How could he let him go? Once he left, he wouldn't be able to find him again.
Star Toad wouldn't be able to escape before leaving the spiritualized universe.
Star Toad wanted to refuse.
But Lu Yin pressed down again and forced Star Toad into Mount Supreme with a bitter expression.
Furball Qing Xian was still in Mount Supreme. She was confused when she saw Star Toad enter.
Star Toad also saw Furball Qing Xian and glared at her.
Lu Yin didn't care how these two got along. They weren't good people.
He put away Mount Supreme and glanced at Desolate Ancestor again before leaving the forbidden ground.
Out of the forbidden ground, Wei Nu was still standing beside the River of Time.
"Since we can be allies, I can enter the mirage domain whenever I want, right?" Lu Yin asked.
Wei Nu looked at him, "Then, please teach me the way to comprehend karma."
Lu Yin smiled, "Is this an exchange?"
"You don't lose anything. I can enter the mirage domain whenever I want because of my identity as a ferryman. And because of that, I can't reach eternal life."
"So you want to walk the path of karma?"
"It's an exchange of equal value."
Lu Yin nodded, "It's fair. Unfortunately, I can't teach you. Comprehending and teaching are two different things."
Wei Nu said, "I understand. When you can teach me the path of karma, I'll open the mirage domain for you."
Lu Yin looked around. He didn't have any more stones to enter the mirage domain. Once he left, he wouldn't be able to enter again unless Wei Nu was willing.
The stones that the progenitor mined weren't in the forbidden ground of karma, so Lu Yin didn't dare to enter other forbidden grounds.
With Lu Yin's current strength, Wei Nü was no match for him. Her control over time wasn't enough to overwhelm him.
But so what if he won? Putting aside whether or not he would be able to keep her, even if she did, he wouldn't be able to force her to open her domain for him.
Wei Nu was different from the people of the Origin.
Even though Wei Nu kept saying that Zhao Ran was suffering, wasn't she also suffering?
There was no meaning in defeating Ku Ah.
However, Lu Yin really needed to enter the mirage domain again. At the very least, he would have the opportunity to do so before he went to the spiritualized universe.
"Master Lu, in fact, the Time Stop of the Mirage Domain is meaningless to most people. You need to comprehend and recover from your injuries. It's useful here. But for ordinary cultivators, if they can't make a breakthrough, it's just a waste of time."
Lu Yin replied, "But for the entire Tian Yuan Universe, the wasted time is worth it."
She looked at the River of Time, "I'll give you a chance to enter the mirage." A stone appeared in front of him.
Lu Yin accepted it, not suspecting that it was fake. Wei Nu would not resort to such methods.
Leaving the mirage
Lu Yin returned to the Above Heaven Sect.
Now, the karma with the Tian Yuan Universe had basically ended. The next step was to wait for the people from the spiritualized universe to arrive and make up for the karma with them.
This time, Lu Yin actually hoped that they would come.
At the same time, under the starry sky, the red light of the blood-colored sword shone on the faces of the God of Forgotten Ruins and Wang Xiaoyu. Not far away, Tiangou had found them.
The God of Forgotten Ruins stretched, revealing her beautiful curves, "It's time to go. The Tian Yuan Universe is meaningless. With Little Lu Yin's temperament, he will definitely go to the spiritualized universe."
Wang Xiaoyu looked into the distance, "Searching for Lord Eternity?"
The God of Forgotten Ruins smiled, "Yes, Lord Eternity wants us to help him."
Woof, woof
"How do we go?" Wang Xiaoyu's expression was cold.
The God of Forgotten Ruins rubbed her head, "Yes, how do we go? If time reverses, the springboard outside the stone door will definitely be gone. Forget it, let's wait. We don't lack time."
…
A year passed, and the Five Spirit Clans sent news that they had completely grasped the technology provided by Lu Yin. They could create 108 micro-array weapons and at the same time, they had also developed a micro-array weapon that could be timed.
This was originally a technology developed by the tributaries of the River of Time, but Lu Yin had brought it over.
After a year, the Above Heaven Sect had finished collecting the materials scattered in various universes that Lu Yin had provided. At the same time, they had also completely grasped the technology. Lu Yin had originally planned to bring them all to the Mirage Domain, but it was not the time yet. There were still nearly nine years before the spiritualized universe attacked. During this time, they could still collect some materials.
The Above Heaven Sect experts scattered in various parallel universes to search.
Another few years passed. On this day, Shui Chuanxiao brought his plan.
"Treat the war as a precise machine. Look at the war from the perspective of the battlefield. How should everyone attack at each time and how to use a time period to avoid the enemy's attack? This requires a complete understanding of the enemy. Through the information provided by you, I can only make a rough plan," Shui Chuanxiao reported to Lu Yin from the back mountain of the Above Heaven Sect.
Several years ago, Lu Yin had reported the first wave of information regarding the spiritualized universe's attack to Shui Chuanxiao. He had asked Shui Chuanxiao to formulate a plan for this war, along with Wang Wen, Wei Rong, and the others.
Even though Shui Chuanxiao's strength was far from enough to participate in this war, if he listed out all of the power levels of both sides in detail and used those powers as data, then combined with Lu Yin's understanding of those people's strength, he would be able to formulate a strategy to deal with that encounter.
This would minimize the losses.
At first, Shui Chuanxiao had thought that Lu Yin was crazy. How could there be a strategy for a war at that level? The powerhouses could easily destroy a large area. This was a battlefield where the strong ruled.
However, jumping out of the mindset of the powerhouses and continuously breaking down the details of the war, including the destructive power of those people and the abilities that they used, it was not that complicated.
This included battle techniques, cultivation techniques, strategic thinking, choices, and countless other factors.
Even with Shui Chuanxiao, Wei Rong, and the others' intelligence, they had researched for several years before coming up with a rough plan. This was definitely not the final plan.
Lu Yin saw an extremely complicated war plan that was as precise as a machine's.
Shui Chuanxiao was helpless. "Path Master, forgive me for being blunt, but there's not much meaning in spending so much effort to come up with this plan. Even if the plan is feasible, will the people involved agree?
In the face of life and death, everyone makes different choices. This plan is simply a fantasy. "
Lu Yin sighed, as he obviously knew that this plan was unrealistic.
War was a matter of life and death.
This was not a game of chess, and it was not a machine. Unless everyone was controlled from the outside and did not develop a sense of self even in the face of death, then it would be impossible to control a war as precisely as a machine.
Even if one had an incomparable understanding of both sides, it would still be impossible.
However, when Lu Yin thought about the battle at the tributary of the River of Time, he felt stifled.
That single battle had killed so many people. Even if Lu Yin was prepared and used all of the power of the Tian Yuan Universe, he might not be able to guarantee everyone's safety. Casualties would be unavoidable.
"Path Master, the cruelty of war will never be reduced because of favors. Even if you can reduce the number of casualties, there will still be casualties." Shui Chuanxiao understood Lu Yin's thoughts.
Lu Yin nodded. "If this path doesn't work, then let's change it."
Shui Chuanxiao left, and Lu Yin wrote down the names of the spiritualized universes, which corresponded to the Tian Yuan Universe. They were fully prepared to surround and kill the spiritualized universes. This path was much simpler than the previous one, which had only been an idea. Unfortunately, it was too unrealistic.
Very quickly, nine years passed.
In the tributary of the River of Time, ten years after Grandmaster Qingcao had been discovered, the spiritualized universes had attacked.
Now that time had flowed backward, Lu Yin had completed his preparations for the next ten years in just a few months. The next nine years had been spent waiting and gathering resources.
During the ten years in the tributary of the River of Time, Lu Yin had fought against the insectoid nests and gathered resources to create mechas and other weapons. These nine years had been very peaceful for the Tian Yuan Universe, and it had also been very peaceful for Lu Yin.
He had been peaceful for nine years, either fishing or playing chess. It was a pity that he did not have Zhao Ran's tea.
There was still a year before the spiritualized universes would attack.
It was time.
Lu Yin walked out of the Above the Sky Sect and headed to the Ice Spirit Territory. He took away all the people who were creating black energy sources and mechas, as well as their resources and equipment. At the same time, he also took some experts from the Five Spirit Races and Nine Star Civilizations to the Mirage Domain. There, he would make a final breakthrough.
This included the Ancient God.
The Ancient God had awakened, which was good news and timely. Only by awakening could he be taken to the Mirage Domain for treatment.
Looking at the blurry face in front of him, the Ancient God spoke with difficulty, "Fertile … Fertile Soil?"
In the Above the Sky Sect, Lu Yuan, Wu Tian, Chu Yi, and the others had surrounded the Ancient God for two days. After awakening, the Ancient God had gradually regained consciousness and could see his surroundings clearly.
Lu Yin stood nearby and looked at the Ancient God. The Ancient God's body did not seem human at all. It was more like a skeleton with flesh and blood stuck to it. It was very horrifying. If not for the Ancient God's strength, he would have died long ago.
Lu Yin could tell what the Ancient God had gone through.
The Ancient God's body could not withstand the power of a Primordial Realm expert, but in the end, he could not even touch Grandmaster Qingcao's body.
The strength of an Eternal Realm expert was so oppressive that it was difficult to breathe.
The Ancient God was like this. If Lu Yin had been the one facing Grandmaster Qingcao, he would have been the same. There was no exception.
Everyone below the Eternal Realm was like an ant.
Lu Yin looked away. Yu Sang Tian could resist. No matter how strong he was, as long as the Tian Yuan Universe was prepared and a primogenitor took action, they might be able to put up a fight. However, an Eternal Realm expert was difficult to deal with.
"Fertile Soil?" the Ancient God shouted again. Only Lu Yuan was the closest to him.
Lu Yuan smiled. "That's me."
The Ancient God's eye sockets were sunken, and his eyeballs moved like a skeleton. He looked to the side. "Flowey?"
"I want to beat you up," Jialan Zhiluo said.
