To cultivators, the chills that ordinary people felt were useless against them, but at this moment, Lu Yin felt a chill that could be used as a metaphor to describe a person.
Yu Lao poured wine for Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked at the wine that flashed under the setting sun and picked up the glass to take a sip.
Yu Lao smiled, put down the jug, and picked up his own cup, "To Third Master."
Lu Yin put down his cup, "Just say what you want to say."
Yu Lao was about to pick up the jug, but he thought for a while, "Third Master has four maids, why don't we invite one to pour wine for us?"
"Who?"
"Ru Mu."
"Sure."
Ru Mu came over and stood beside the table, pouring wine for the two. Her bright eyes seemed to be flowing with waves as she looked at Lu Yin with admiration.
Yu Lao took a sip, "Third Master is called Lu Yin?"
Lu Yin nodded, "You can also call me Seventh Brother."
Ru Mu smiled faintly, Seventh Brother?
Yu Lao was an old man who had lived for a long time.
Yu Lao laughed, "Master Lu?"
Lu Yin was calm, "Sure."
Yu Lao praised, "As expected, Third Master is the Master of the Tian Yuan Universe."
Ru Mu's eyes narrowed, and she looked at Lu Yin in surprise, Master of the Tian Yuan Universe?
Now that everyone knew that Lu Yin was from the Tian Yuan Universe, how could the Primordial Origin control them with Lu Yin's power?
Boundless and Dayu Villa were both from the Tian Yuan Universe, and the Primordial Origin was also controlled.
But Ru Mu really didn't expect that Lu Yin was the Master of the Tian Yuan Universe at such a young age.
No wonder, no wonder he had such power and could suppress almost half of the top powerhouses in the spiritualized universe by himself. This was something that only a master of the universe could do.
"Pour wine," Lu Yin said casually.
Ru Mu sobered up and quickly poured wine for the two.
"Master Lu's purpose for coming from the Tian Yuan Universe is clear, it is to deal with the spiritualized universe, but I don't understand why Master Lu is taking the risk?"
Elder Yu was curious, and he looked at Lu Yin curiously as he finished the wine in his cup and put it down. "The only points of contact between the spiritualized universe and the Heaven's Origin Universe are Yuanqi and Zhan Yan, but Master Lu has led a group of powerhouses from the Heaven's Origin Universe to kill their way into the spiritualized universe with an unstoppable momentum. Also, how did you come to our spiritualized universe?
How did he know to set up the springboard? Can Master Lu answer my questions? "
Lu Yin found it funny and looked at Foolish Old Man. "Old man, you're in charge of the Intelligible Domain and distribute resources to the entire spiritualized universe. Can you tell me what role you played in the three Sang Tian's expedition to the spiritualized universe decades ago?"
Yu Lao thought for a moment: "I agree."
Lu Yin's lips curled up, "So, you're also an enemy."
The foolish old man shook his head and looked at Ru Mu as he poured wine for him, "Standpoint is not only determined by benefits, it is also determined by strength."
"All this time, we thought that the Tian Yuan Universe was within our grasp. We were just waiting for the best opportunity to restart it. Origin was sent to weaken the future scale of the Tian Yuan Universe, which is equivalent to making the Tian Yuan Universe unable to resist our spiritualized universe."
"But with your arrival, Master Lu, it changed everyone's impression of the Tian Yuan Universe in the spiritualized universe."
Yu Lao's expression was solemn. "The Tian Yuan Universe is not easy to deal with. If things go wrong, a large number of people will die, and the deaths of these people will cause the spiritualized universe to lose their best opportunity."
Lu Yin listened calmly.
"For example, Yu Sang Tian wants to wait for the spiritualized universe to have at least thirty powerhouses who have crossed the Bitter Adversity and nearly a hundred Spiritual Primes before restarting the Tian Yuan Universe. He wants to bring these powerhouses to a higher level in one fell swoop. Among them, how many Eternal Realms will be born, how many will cross the Bitter Adversity, and how many of those spiritual cultivators will break through to the Spiritual Primes realm? These are all things that we are considering."
"We can afford to wait. The spiritualized universe is like a large family, and everyone's life and death is for the sake of this family. It is not just for the sake of a single person or a generation."
"But at this moment, the Tian Yuan Universe's strength has exceeded the spiritualized universe's expectations. If the two sides go to war, even if the spiritualized universe wins, no one knows how many Bitter Adversity and Spiritual Primes will survive. This is a price that the spiritualized universe is not willing to bear."
Lu Yin disdainfully replied, "Nonsense. If you don't bear this price now, the price you will have to pay in the future will be even greater if you want to restart the Tian Yuan Universe."
Yu Lao nodded. "In theory, this is the case. The longer it takes, the harder it will be to restart the Tian Yuan Universe. But what if there is a better choice?
For example, restarting the consciousness universe. "
Lu Yin raised his brows.
Yu Lao continued, "The consciousness universe is not easy to deal with. You have already experienced Wuwei's strength. For many years, our spiritualized universe has been thinking of ways to restart the consciousness universe. Of course, sometimes, it is the same as restarting the Tian Yuan Universe. We are waiting for the right opportunity. This is the relationship between the three universes."
"But now, Master Lu, your arrival has allowed the spiritualized universe to see the strength of the Tian Yuan Universe. Since the spiritualized universe and the Tian Yuan Universe are both ruled by humans, there is a second option, which is to restart the consciousness universe and let our two universes work together."
Lu Yin stared at Yu Lao.
Yu Lao looked deeply at Lu Yin. "Master Lu, you are very clear about the relationship between the three universes. From your point of view, the consciousness universe is suppressed by the spiritualized universe, and the war is the same as the Tian Yuan Universe. In theory, you should work together, but in reality, the true standpoint is not the direction of the war, but the living beings themselves."
"Master Lu, never forget that the spiritualized universe and the Tian Yuan Universe are ruled by humans. The consciousness universe is different. It is a different kind of living being, or rather, it is not even a living being. It is a kind of pure power that was cultivated."
"Humans must always think for themselves, even if the result is very cruel."
"Since Master Lu has cultivated to the position of Master of the Tian Yuan Universe, you must have seen through the word 'cruel'. You also have your own opinions on what is right and what is wrong. Everything I said is true."
"Of course, the Tian Yuan Universe is weaker than the spiritualized universe, which will make Master Lu feel uneasy. I can only guarantee that Master Lu will have a chance to attain eternal life. Compared to Master Lu leading the Boundless Universe to the death, the spiritualized universe will be much safer.
Compared to Master Lu, this path is better. "
Lu Yin's goal was very clear. Although Yu Lao did not understand how the Tian Yuan Cosmos knew about the spiritualized universe's situation and why they were so desperate to court death, the path that Lu Yin had given them was much better than courting death. A chance to step into the Eternal Realm was equivalent to giving the Tian Yuan Cosmos a chance.
They would not have to risk their lives to fight the spiritualized universe.
Especially since no one wanted to die, and all cultivators wanted to step into eternal life.
Ru Mu poured wine again and looked at Lu Yin.
Elder Yu had presented Lu Yin with two options. The first option was to continue causing trouble and wreak havoc in the spiritualized universe. In the end, he would definitely become an enemy of the entire spiritualized universe, and the outcome was unknown. The second option was for the Tian Yuan Universe and the spiritualized universe to work together and restart the consciousness universe. This would allow Lu Yin to obtain the opportunity to step into eternal life.
What would this person choose?
Ru Mu was curious.
Lu Yin picked up his cup and took a sip before looking at Elder Yu.
Seeing Yu Lao staring at him, Lu Yin was puzzled. "Continue."
"Don't tell me you are done."
Yu Lao looked at Lu Yin deeply. "Master Lu, what else do you want to hear?"
Lu Yin rolled his eyes. "Old man, do you think I am a madman who only cares about cultivation and knows nothing else?"
"First, you explained the relationship between the three universes and made me inclined to change my position. Then, you tempted me with eternal life. Finally, you gave me two paths. Next, you should talk about the trouble of Yu Sang Tian. Your thinking is very clear."
Ru Mu blinked and looked at Yu Lao.
Yu Lao smiled bitterly. "Master Lu, you are prejudiced against me."
Lu Yin sneered. He picked up his wine cup and shook it. "No, I think you are very amiable."
Yu Lao was puzzled. "Why?"
Lu Yin smiled. "Because I often fool others like this."
Yu Lao was startled and then laughed.
Ru Mu looked at Lu Yin and her eyes became brighter.
Lu Yin finished the wine and put down the cup. "To fool people, you must have a clear thinking. You must see what the other party is thinking and analyze the other party's mentality. Make the other party subconsciously think that you are right, then quietly change their position and finally give them a choice instead of waiting for them to choose. Old man, your method doesn't work on me. Tell me, my biggest concern is Yu Sang Tian. How do you plan to fool me?"
Yu Lao smiled. "Before that, I would like to ask Master Lu a question."
"Who is behind Saint Daliu?"
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"
Yu Lao looked at Lu Yin. "Master Lu deliberately released the news that Saint Daliu exchanged his life. At the same time, you let the intent realm find out that Qi Gong was the one who stole the white willow. You deliberately led the intent realm to lead out a non-existent person behind this. What is Master Lu planning to do?"
Lu Yin looked at the reeds in a daze. Killing intent flashed in his eyes.
This old man saw through it.
Everything he had set up was to conceal his ability to absorb the consciousness of the consciousness universe. If it was exposed now, the consciousness universe would definitely become his mortal enemy. The spiritualized universe would also be more hostile towards him because of fear. This was troublesome.
"Saint Daliu doesn't have anyone behind him. Qi Gong was the one who stole the white willow, but he was influenced by Wu Wei. Master Lu guided all of this to take away the consciousness universe's life forms. In fact, Master Lu had already united with some kind of existence from the consciousness universe in Torch City and achieved the conditions, right?" Yu Lao guessed.
Lu Yin looked at him in surprise. Really?
Yes, there was such an explanation. It was very reasonable.
Yu Lao smiled. "As expected. Let me guess, only the consciousness universe's 13 Celestial Phenomenon can do such a thing. The other consciousnesses can't reach Torch City without being hindered. Master Lu, I told you all those things in the beginning because I didn't want you to be confused by the consciousness universe's life forms. The consciousness universe's life forms cannot be trusted. They are not the same species as us humans. If Master Lu united with the consciousness universe, let's not talk about whether or not you can fight against my spiritualized universe. Even if my spiritualized universe loses, the consciousness universe will still be the Tian Yuan universe's greatest enemy in the end."
Lu Yin didn't think too much about it and said faintly, "It's still better than facing the spiritualized universe, a colossus that can conquer two universes at the same time."
