Yuan Qi felt a chill run down his spine. He was certain that he did not know about the original map. Who was the one who knew about it?
When he thought of this, he subconsciously looked at Lu Yin. This person could give him an answer.
Lu Yin sensed Yuan Qi's gaze and looked over. The two looked at each other.
Yuan Qi suppressed his anxiety and confusion and slowly bowed. "Master Lu, may I have a word with you?"
Lu Yin did not refuse, and the others dispersed.
"What is it?"
Yuan Qi looked at Lu Yin with a burning gaze. "I don't know about the original map."
Lu Yin raised an eyebrow and looked at Yuan Qi. "But you were the one who ordered the Yuan family to destroy the original map."
Yuan Qi nodded. "I saw it, but I didn't know about it."
Saw it?
Naturally, it was in Dianjiang Platform Hell. Karma would not appear whether you knew about it or not. Everything that happened had a cycle, even if there was another person in your body. Clearly, Yuan Qi had seen that past through the cycle of karma.
Regardless of whether there was another person in his body, that past left a deep impression on him. Otherwise, it would not have appeared.
Then again, this kind of thing would leave a deep impression on anyone, even if it did not happen to them.
"What are you trying to say?"
"Does Master Lu know something?"
Lu Yin shook his head. "I don't know the details. You have to find the answer yourself. However …" He paused and thought for a moment before saying, "It's strange that you were sent to the Tian Yuan Universe."
Yuan Qi's eyes flashed, and he muttered to himself for a moment. "Since the Ninth Heaven Universe exists, it proves that the Divine Rule Mountain is not a secret at all. No, the Divine Rule Mountain belongs to the Ninth Heaven Universe, so this is not a secret at all."
He only remembered it now, and he looked at Lu Yin in disbelief. "Yu Sang Tian deliberately sent me to the Tian Yuan Universe using the Divine Rule Mountain to make me think that I have something on him, but in reality …"
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. "I don't know what Mo Shang is thinking, but the Divine Rule Mountain is not a secret. You were willing to stay in the Tian Yuan Universe for so many years because of this secret. You were afraid that Mo Shang would kill you if you went back. From Mo Shang's point of view, he only needs you to not return to the spiritualized universe."
"You are just Sang Tian. Why would he go through so much trouble to do this?"
Yuan Qi smiled wryly. Indeed, he was just Sang Tian. If the Continent of the Nine Clouds didn't exist, Sang Tian would be second only to Yu Sang Tian and the Ultimate Cultivator. But now, it seemed like Sang Tian wasn't qualified to know about the Continent of the Nine Clouds.
Lu Yin looked at Yuan Qi, "I also want to know the answer. Do you want to enter the Hell of General Stage to take a look?"
Yuan Qi's face turned pale: "No need, I will recall everything that happened in the past. If there is a blank space, we will talk again."
Lu Yin did not force the issue. So what if there were gaps in the Primordial Chaos' memories?
The one in charge of this was Yu Sang Tian.
He didn't have much interest in Yuanqi right now. There would be an answer in the end. He already didn't care about Yu Sang Tian, so why would he care about Yuanqi's schemes?
He no longer cared about Yu Sang Tian.
Yu Sang Tian was very strong, but the current him was not weak.
The explosive growth of the Karma Heavenly Dao brought him power he had never imagined before. He was able to create karma.
Karma had a cause and an effect. It could be seen through and severed, but no one had ever heard of someone being able to create it.
A person could pick up a stone, throw it, and smash an ant to death. The entire process was karma, and that person would think that they had created this karma on their own initiative.
Wrong, from the moment they wanted to pick up the stone.
From the moment they gained consciousness, this karma had already existed. They were not the creator, but the executor.
Everything in the universe reinforced and countered each other, which was why living creatures were born. These creatures all experienced karma.
Lu Yin didn't know if the universe's karma had already been written down, but he knew that he could do so under the Karma Heavenly Dao.
This was the power that the Divine Seal Catalog gave him at this moment.
When he felt this power, Lu Yin was stunned for a long time, unable to come back to his senses.
From what he knew, even if the ability to write down karma existed, it was the power of an Eternal Life Realm. It was not something that a Progenitor like him, who had not even reached the Sequence Laws, could do.
Even if his karma force had reached perfection, it still wouldn't be enough.
If he could do it, didn't that mean that the Azure Lotus Defense could do it?
Lu Yin didn't think too much about it. Since he could do it, then he might as well give it a try.
Lu Yin released the Karma Heavenly Dao, which instantly enveloped Boundless.
Above Boundless, everyone's hearts palpitated as they looked up, but there was nothing there.
Only Lu Tianyi and the other experts knew that Lu Yin had released karma.
Lu Yin looked around Boundless, and his gaze landed on Cai Keqing.
She had remained in Boundless all this time, and she had not asked to leave. She was very calm.
As Lu Yin looked at her, the Wordless Heavenly Tome in his heart emitted a faint light. It crossed through his heart and connected to the Divine Seal Catalog. The next moment, an image appeared in the Divine Seal Catalog that belonged to Cai Keqing's life. At that moment, the Karma Heavenly Dao began to shrink. Lu Yin's expression changed, and he hurriedly looked away.
In a corner of Boundless, Cai Keqing frowned and looked around in confusion. She felt as if someone had been staring at her, as if she had been seen through.
The Karma Heavenly Dao dissipated, and Lu Yin sighed. He was both happy and helpless.
He could indeed create karma. Cai Keqing's life had appeared in the Divine Seal Catalog, and he could insert karma into her life. The consequences of this karma would depend on the Karma Heavenly Dao's consumption, as well as his own strength.
Just now, he had wanted to create karma to make himself Cai Keqing's benefactor and change her attitude towards him.
As long as he did that, Cai Keqing would definitely recognize him as her benefactor and be deeply grateful to him. However, because Cai Keqing's cultivation in the Sequence Laws surpassed Lu Yin's, the Karma Heavenly Dao's consumption was enormous, and Lu Yin had no choice but to stop. Even looking at Cai Keqing's life in the Divine Seal Catalog had consumed a great deal of karma.
This was just one attempt, so there was no need to consume so much.
Lu Yin looked at his hands. He could really create karma, and this feeling of omnipotence was wonderful.
Was this the feeling of being in control of everything?
If one day, his Karma Heavenly Dao encompassed the entire universe, would that mean that he could become the master of all lifeforms' fates?
It was that simple to change someone's perception of him. This power was too terrifying. He looked at the sky. If he could change the karma of others, then did that mean that his own karma had been changed by someone else?
If the universe's karma could really be written, then what kind of existence was the one who wrote it?
The more he thought about it, the deeper his gaze became as he looked at the universe.
In the past, he had feared his enemies, but now, he feared the universe.
…
In the Earth Realm, Yue Ya's voice rang out. "Chao Yi, you're not here on the orders of Death Hill's Great Master, are you?"
Chao Yi was calm. "It's the Great Master's orders."
"If the Great Master sent you here, then why did the Azure Lotus Defense descend?"
Bo Haomiao shouted, his eyes flickering with fear. He hoped that Chao Yi was telling the truth. He had a chance against Chao Yi, but if he faced the Azure Lotus Defense, then even Yue Ya would die without a doubt.
Yue Ya also stared at Chao Yi.
Chao Yi looked at Haomiao. "It has nothing to do with me."
Haomiao gritted his teeth. This bastard! He should have killed him himself back then. That idiot Book of Mist's failure had caused the Nine Foot Garden to suffer so much pressure that they had no choice but to rely on Yue Ya.
"What grudge do you have with the Nine Foot Garden?" Haomiao asked, staring at Chao Yi with murderous intent.
Chao Yi was cold. "It's the most common grudge in the cultivation world."
"Then why did you implicate my parents?" Haomiao shouted angrily.
Chao Yi looked at her. "Those who violate the rules will be killed without mercy."
"We are the ones who violated the rules. My parents did not leave the Nine Heavens Universe."
"The Nine Foot Garden will be killed without mercy."
"I will definitely kill you." Haomiao gritted her teeth.
If Chao Yi did not care, the Nine Foot Garden would definitely be destroyed, and the Haomiao Family would completely disappear. Their grudge would also dissipate.
His grudge had been resolved, but what about the others on the Death Hill?
Most of the people who entered the Death Hill had a deep grudge like him. Those who were lucky would be able to resolve it, but those who were unlucky would have to wait.
The Death Hill Lord had ordered him to kill the Nine Foot Garden because his grudge was with the Nine Foot Garden.
This was the Death Hill's preferential treatment for its own people. However, if the Nine Foot Garden did not violate the rules, then no one could do anything about it.
…
Meng Sang Tian stood in front of Lu Yin in the Boundless Universe.
It had been decades since the spiritualized universe attacked the Tian Yuan Universe. Among the group of spiritualized powerhouses that attacked the Tian Yuan Universe, Bao Qi had been killed by Lu Yin, and Princess Yao had become his maid. Yi Shang and Meng Sang Tian had been captured.
He had never imagined that things would turn out this way.
Lu Yin could still recall the tragic feelings he had when he left the spiritualized universe on the Boundless Universe.
Now, things were completely different.
"I'm very curious. What did you experience with the Eternal?" Lu Yin slowly asked.
Meng Sang Tian's tone was low. "Nothing special. I just helped him come to the spiritualized universe and protected him before his cultivation recovered."
"At that time, you should have been able to suppress him."
"His methods are more than you can imagine."
Lu Yin agreed. "What methods?"
Meng Sang Tian and Lu Yin looked at each other. "I can't say."
"Then I'll take a look."
Lu Yin was about to use the Karma Heavenly Dao when he suddenly paused. He recalled the karma backlash from before and the hand on the Eternal's head. An inexplicable chill descended, and he had no choice but to stop.
Meng Sang Tian was not the Eternal. Logically speaking, he should be able to see it, but his karma was connected to the Eternal.
Lu Yin hesitated for a moment, and then a karma spiral appeared on his fingertip. He pointed out, and the karma spiral pierced through Meng Sang Tian.
The Karma Heavenly Dao might cause him to suffer unimaginable consequences, but this karma spiral would at most cause a backlash. It would not attack the Eternal, and even if it did, it would not be serious.
Lu Yin believed that he could withstand such a backlash.
However, the karma did not cause any backlash, and Lu Yin saw some of Meng Sang Tian's past.
He continued to use his karma, and he saw many scenes. Suddenly, he stopped and stared at Meng Sang Tian's karma. It can't be, right? It's actually her?
Through Meng Sang Tian's karma, Lu Yin saw many unbelievable scenes. For example, the Arrow God, who he thought had died in Immemorial City, had come back to life. For example, Fengbo, who Lu Yin also thought had died, had come back to life.
