Lu Yin's consciousness continued to travel, and every time he did so, he would consume a large amount of his consciousness. Lu Yin's heart ached, as it was too difficult to replenish his consciousness in the spiritualized universe.
If he went to the consciousness universe, his consciousness would definitely transform.
Yu Sang Tian was leading the seven Sang Tians to the Earth of Yi, and Lu Yin would definitely go as well. He wondered if he could use the consciousness he absorbed to suppress Yu Sang Tian.
Lu Yin thought about it as he continued to travel. From time to time, he would see barriers that led to a parallel universe.
Suddenly, Lu Yin looked in a certain direction in shock. There was also a barrier there, but on the other side were countless balls of light of various sizes. How could there be so many?
Each ball represented a consciousness lifeform that could be fused with, but how could there be so many of them?
This far exceeded the number of consciousness lifeforms that he had seen in his first intent realm.
Lu Yin hurriedly rushed over and used his consciousness to break through the barrier and fuse with one of the balls of light.
This one was the brightest of the bunch, but it was still rather dim in Lu Yin's eyes. At most, it would correspond to a Star realm consciousness lifeform.
He desperately wanted to know what was going on.
When he opened his eyes, everything around him became clear. Consciousness lifeforms would not have eyes unless they took the initiative to transform into a certain form. They were just a ball of consciousness that ordinary people could not see.
The consciousness lifeform that Lu Yin had fused with had taken the initiative to transform into a human.
Lu Yin looked around and saw that there were people everywhere. This was a planet with advanced technology, and there were spacecraft taking off into the distance from time to time. There were also spacecraft landing from time to time.
He looked around in a daze. There were people everywhere, but most of them were consciousness lifeforms that stayed with real humans on this planet that had yet to develop a cultivation civilization.
"My Lord, the news has been confirmed. All of the people hidden by the thirty-six filaments have been sent to their intent realms."
It was a woman with a sweet appearance, but who would have thought that she was also a consciousness lifeform?
These consciousness lifeforms had all taken the initiative to transform into human form.
Memories flooded into Lu Yin's mind, and he calmly looked into the distance as he gradually understood.
These consciousness lifeforms had been sent to the spiritualized universe for countless years. The spiritualized universe had created battleships and taken the initiative in battle. They believed that they had complete control over the rhythm of the battle and could fight or retreat as they pleased. However, the consciousness universe was not stupid and had used various methods to send these consciousness lifeforms to the spiritualized universe.
Some sentient beings spent a long time to come from the consciousness universe to the spiritualized universe. Ancestor Xi was such an example.
There were also some sentient lifeforms that relied on various methods to arrive on the battleships of the spiritualized universe. For example, some pretended to surrender, some were captured, and even more took advantage of human greed and pretended to surrender. They avoided the Heavens beyond Heaven and finally escaped from the spiritualized universe.
The consciousness lifeforms hidden in the thirty-six domains were all like this. Although the Sky Beyond Heaven knew that they were hiding consciousness lifeforms, they had a tacit understanding. Some of them could escape halfway, and some could kill their masters directly. Because hiding consciousness lifeforms was a crime, they suppressed it and did not expose it.
Over time, more and more sentient beings escaped, and finally, under the lead of some sentient beings, they hid in a parallel universe.
There were many consciousness life forms that had been branded on this planet.
The reason why there were so many conscious life forms was because it had been too long. Moreover, conscious life forms were different from humans. Their existence could be so long that people thought they were immortal. Time was just a number to them.
The consciousness lifeforms that they brought along had a mission in themselves. They had to hide and wait for an opportunity to counterattack the spiritualized universe.
Lu Yin looked into the distance. The consciousness lifeform that he had fused with was the ruler of this universe.
It was a Star realm consciousness lifeform, and there were many similar parallel universes that hid consciousness lifeforms. They had been accumulated over countless years and were waiting to counterattack the spiritualized universe.
Why hadn't the spiritualized universe found them?
Because the parallel universes they hid in were not connected to the spiritualized universe.
There were too many parallel universes, and even Yu Sang Tian could not see through all of them, just like how Lu Yin could not see through all of the parallel universes of the Tian Yuan Universe.
It was impossible to find any hidden consciousness lifeforms in these parallel universes, and it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Lu Yin had used his die's six pips to search for dark spaces many times, but this was the first time he had encountered such hidden consciousness lifeforms. It was even more impossible for the spiritualized universe to find them.
To these sentient lifeforms, this place was equivalent to the consciousness universe.
In particular, they had deliberately lived together with humans in this parallel universe. Even if the spiritualized universe discovered them, they would not be able to immediately detect any problems. They had time to leave, and tearing through the void to escape was just a matter of moments.
"My Lord?" The woman behind him was puzzled.
Lu Yin waved a hand.
The woman respectfully retreated.
The sentient lifeforms had joined forces here because they had no choice. Without the spiritualized universe as a powerful enemy, the consciousness universe itself would not be peaceful, and they would never consider each other to be of the same race.
The phrase "of the same race" was laughable in the consciousness universe, but it had to be said here.
Lu Yin continued to read through the memories of the spiritualized universe, and he knew that there were no less than ten parallel universes. The number of hidden consciousness lifeforms was dozens of times greater than the number of consciousnesses in the Intent Realm. However, this number was still too small compared to the spiritualized universe.
Their true confidence lay in the thirteen Celestial Phenomena.
There were thirteen Celestial Phenomena hidden in these parallel universes, and there were two of them. This was something that the spiritualized universe definitely did not know about.
They had been waiting for Ye Meng to attack the spiritualized universe, but Ye Meng had actually pretended to join them.
Lu Yin laughed, but he was not laughing at the consciousness universe. Even though three thirteen Celestial Phenomena were far from being a match for the spiritualized universe, the spiritualized universe was completely unaware that the consciousness universe had been waiting for this opportunity. They were too arrogant, and it was as if they looked down on the Tian Yuan Universe.
Lu Yin was laughing because the spiritualized universe had stood at a high position for too long and could not see the hidden dangers. This was no different from when the Above Heaven Sect had been schemed against by the Eternals.
The consciousness universe had used their advantage of not fearing the passage of time to the fullest.
Did the spiritualized universe know that the sentient lifeforms had escaped?
Of course, they knew, and they had searched for them. However, as time passed, they could not find anything. Especially when one generation died, the next generation would forget about this matter. Generation after generation, even if only a small group of sentient lifeforms escaped in each generation, they would still accumulate many more.
On the surface, the consciousness universe could not defeat the spiritualized universe, so they would use their advantage to whittle them down until the spiritualized universe forgot about their existence. When the spiritualized universe ignored them, it would be time for them to show their fangs.
Ye Meng was their opportunity, and they had long known that Ye Meng would come to the spiritualized universe. In that case, Ye Meng had been captured on purpose. Why?
Lu Yin thought of the Land of Earth. Ye Meng had said that the Land of Earth had lured away Yu Sang Tian and the Seven Major Sang Tians. The spiritualized universe was not stupid, and they would definitely have taken away Wu Wei and Ye Meng. However, they would never have imagined that the spiritualized universe would still have two experts at the level of thirteen Celestial Phenomena. Even if they could not defeat the spiritualized universe, they could at least save all the captured sentient lifeforms and prevent the spiritualized universe from attacking the consciousness universe.
As for the consciousness universe, Lu Yin did not believe that the Land of Earth would be able to defeat them.
He exhaled.
The spiritualized universe had underestimated the consciousness universe.
Foolish Old Man wanted to unite with the Tian Yuan Universe and restart the consciousness universe, but he had not mentioned whether or not the consciousness universe would resist. In his opinion, whether or not the consciousness universe would resist was not important, as it would definitely be restarted.
Would he know about the sentient lifeform hidden here?
Would he know that two of the thirteen Celestial Phenomena had come?
Would he know that Ye Meng was pretending to join them?
Also, would Wu Wei be pretending to join them as well?
Lu Yin withdrew from the fusion. He had seen some of this sentient lifeform's memories, but it was impossible for him to read all of them.
What he had seen was enough.
More importantly, he knew how to find that parallel universe.
In that parallel universe, only sentient lifeforms could go to the spiritualized universe, and this was the first time Lu Yin had seen the light of hope in the spiritualized universe.
When Lu Yin withdrew from the fusion, the Star-ranked sentient lifeform called the woman over. "How is it?"
The woman was stunned. "Sir, what are you asking?"
The person frowned. "Information."
The woman was at a loss. Hadn't she already told him?
When she saw the dissatisfied expression on Lu Yin's face, the woman did not dare to speak further and reported again.
"Who is it?
How could they be so reckless as to expose our existence? "
"Sir, it should have nothing to do with us. I've already contacted the other parallel universes, but none of them have appeared. Also, only the thirteen Celestial Phenomena can do something like this."
"It's troublesome now. The spiritualized universe has confirmed the existence of sentient lifeforms and will definitely search for them. Don't go to the spiritualized universe for now."
"Understood."
On the other side, Lu Yin opened his eyes and finally relaxed.
The spiritualized universe had been keeping an eye on Wu Jiang all this time. This was an enemy of the Tian Yuan Universe, and they could attack or not. Lu Yin had been constantly probing the spiritualized universe.
It seemed like he did not care and had provoked Yu Sang Tian and acted without restraint. In reality, the more he acted like this, the more people did not dare to act. If Wu Jiang had been so cowardly from the start, the spiritualized universe would have already discussed how to deal with him.
The pressure on Lu Yin was great.
Wu Jiang did not fear death, but he still hoped to bring these people back to their homeworld.
The spiritualized universe was like a blade, and Wu Jiang was waiting for the blade to fall.
But now, Lu Yin saw that there was another existence under the blade. The blade had quietly shifted, and it might not fall on Wu Jiang's head, especially since he was the only one who knew about this.
The spiritualized universe did not know about the sentient lifeforms' existences, and the sentient lifeforms did not know that Lu Yin was aware of their existence. The initiative was in Lu Yin's hands.
This was going to be fun.
Lu Yin closed his eyes and waited for ten days before continuing to roll his die.
There were still two months before the battle with Wu Huang.
Lu Yin checked the consumption of his consciousness and felt a little helpless. It had consumed more than he had expected, mainly because he had not been able to determine when he would be searching.
If he had been able to merge with the sentient lifeforms as soon as he entered the dark space, he would not have consumed so much.
A mere Star realm sentient lifeform had already consumed so much, and his target was Wu Wei.
After thinking about it, Lu Yin decided to add something. He could make the spiritualized universe think that the sentient lifeforms were hiding in the dark, but he could also make the sentient lifeforms think that the spiritualized universe had discovered them and make them more cautious.
