Everyone's heart sank. How could it be easy to fight against an Eternal Realm expert?
"But we can't even get close," the Ancient God said.
Wu Tian sighed. "If not for your appearance, this universe would have been rebooted."
"Actually, Master Green Grass is right."
Jiang Feng's expression sank as he met their gazes. "If the hive civilization is completely lured here, we won't be able to stop them."
Everyone knew this, but sacrificing the entire Tian Yuan Universe to destroy the hive's coordinates was something they couldn't do.
Mister Mu said, "The Tian Yuan Universe has its own path. Your timely appearance is, in Master Green Grass' words, an opportunity for the Tian Yuan Universe. We might be able to stop the hive."
"But just in case, we still have to send a group of people away to preserve the civilization."
Lu Yuan said, "We're already repairing the bone boats. The materials are hard to find, but only the bone boats can send people away."
Jiang Feng's gaze was deep. "We can't face the hive civilization alone. If they want the Tian Yuan Universe to be their torch, they'll have to provide some wood."
"What do you plan to do?" Wu Tian asked.
Actually, Jiang Feng's history was similar to Lu Yin's. They both started from being weak and small. They went from being alone to having hundreds of millions of subordinates. They weren't pure cultivators.
Jiang Feng's eyes flashed, and his lips curled up. He slowly said, "Send a hive to the spiritualized universe."
…
In the consciousness universe, Lu Yin returned to Wu Jiang. The Boulder's Foundation suppressed the mixed consciousness, but he still needed time to completely control it.
Lu Yin didn't lack time.
He directly rolled the die.
Half a month later, Lu Yin put down the die. He had been in seclusion in the Time Stop Space for three years. Even without the Boulder's Foundation, he could suppress the consciousness.
Naturally, the Boulder's Foundation had to be broken down.
Wu Jiang dragged four battleships behind it. The people on the battleships looked at Wu Jiang in shock. Wu Jiang had purposely publicized the battle between Lu Yin and Yu Sang Tian. Lu Yin had won.
Yu Sang Tian had always been invincible in the spiritualized universe, but now he had lost to Lu Yin. This broke the beliefs of all the spiritualized universe's cultivators.
They no longer had any thoughts of resistance. That was it.
No one suspected Wu Jiang of lying. There was no need to.
Lu Yin stood at the bow of Boundless and moved his arms. His consciousness, karma, and strength had all transformed in this universe, and he wondered how far away he was from the Eternal Realm.
Previously, there had been a balance of power within the consciousness universe, and it had been very chaotic. But now, Yu Sang Tian had been defeated, and Yue Ya had been scared away. His Eternal had disappeared, and he had most likely left. The 13 Celestial Phenomena had completely ended, and the only thing that Lu Yin was concerned about was the meteorite.
As for Che, he did not consider him at all.
The meteorite was right there.
A few days later, Lu Yin left the Boundless Expanse once more and found a meteorite.
The meteorite was in a broken world, blinking as if it was searching for something. Lu Yin's arrival did not attract its attention.
"Che came looking for you, didn't he?" Lu Yin asked as he stared at the meteorite.
Yun Shi paused and turned around to face Lu Yin, rolling his eyes.
"Where did you come from? What is your relationship with the Heavenly Cast Sword and Che?
What are you doing here?
I want to know everything, "Lu Yin said.
The meteorite stared at Lu Yin for a while before ignoring him. It turned around and continued blinking, as if this action had some special purpose.
Lu Yin's tone was low. "If you don't want to talk, then let me take a look."
The Dao was released, enveloping the surrounding starry skies. Naturally, it also enveloped the meteorite. The Wordless Heavenly Book emitted a faint light, connecting to the shining God Sealing Catalog.
The meteorite suddenly retreated and stared at Lu Yin warily. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with aggression, as if he was warning Lu Yin.
Lu Yin ignored the warning. He had fought with the meteorite more than once, and if the meteorite tried to attack him, he would make sure that the meteorite would experience despair.
The current Lu Yin was completely different from before.
There was a whoosh as the meteorite suddenly charged towards Lu Yin. Lu Yin slowly raised his hand, and a huge force collided with the meteorite.
The meteorite was sometimes strong and sometimes weak. When it was weak, it could even repel an Emissary, and when it was strong, it could shatter a spacetime battleship. Even a Sang Tian expert like the Su Shidao could not do anything about it.
This time, the meteorite was at its strongest, and it slammed into Lu Yin's hand. The meteorite had thought that it would be able to push Lu Yin back, but the result shocked the meteorite. Its eyes were filled with disbelief as it stared blankly at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin blocked the meteorite with one hand and did not even take half a step back.
At that moment, an image appeared in the Divine Seal Catalog from the Causal Heavenly Dao. At the same time, Lu Yin's Causal Heavenly Dao began to deplete at a much faster rate than the rate at which it was being consumed. This rate of depletion made Lu Yin's eyelids twitch.
He pressed down on the meteorite with one hand and looked at the Divine Seal Catalog.
The meteorite's eyes sized up Lu Yin, and its expression of disbelief even suppressed the bloodshot eyes. The meteorite trembled violently and tried to push Lu Yin away, but Lu Yin's immense strength prevented it from doing so.
Lu Yin calmly looked at the Divine Seal Catalog, which was still a boundless space. He did not know how long this scene would last, or how long had this meteorite existed in this space?
Cai Keqing's lifetime appeared very quickly.
The depletion of the Dao of Causal Heaven made Lu Yin's heart bleed, but he had no other choice. If he wanted to understand the meteorite, this was the only way.
Just as he was thinking about this, the image on the Divine Seal Catalog changed, and he saw a starry sky. The reason why it was called a starry sky and not a space was because he saw a civilization. He saw the unique traces of a civilization, and he saw … extinction.
Lu Yin's pupils shrank, and he stared at the image in shock.
The image showed a strange non-human being being exterminated. He saw planets being destroyed, and he saw the starry sky distort and compress. This was the universe being rebooted. He also saw the Heavenly Forged Sword sweeping through without restraint, killing one creature after another. Blood stained the starry sky, and the entire universe fell into despair.
This scene was similar to when Yu Sang Tian had killed his way to the Heaven above Earth Sect. No, it was even more tragic than that. The bloody scene caused Lu Yin's heart to sink. No creature could escape; this was the end of the world.
Numbers no longer had any meaning. The enormous Heavenly Forged Sword swept through the starry sky, and every time it swept past, countless planets would shatter.
The Sequence String was constantly being torn apart, and parallel spacetime was being reduced to dust.
Madness and irritation spread through Lu Yin's heart, and his gaze changed. In the starry sky above his heart, the divine power planet spun faster and faster.
At that moment, his palm lightened, and the Divine Seal Catalog disappeared. The meteorite had left.
The irritation in Lu Yin's eyes receded, and he turned around to look at the distant meteorite. He looked at his palm, and then at the Divine Seal Catalog. How had the meteorite left him?
There was no trace of it at all.
The meteorite's eye stared at Lu Yin, and then it turned around and left in a certain direction.
Lu Yin watched as the meteorite left, not knowing what to do.
He knew what kind of creature the meteorite was; it was the creature that had been wiped out in the previous image. However, it had been covered in a meteorite shell.
The shell's defensive power was extremely strong, and it had been used to escape the end of the world. However, his race had been wiped out, and he had been rebooted by the universe.
The one who had led this rebooting was the Heavenly Forged Sword, or rather, the master behind it — Clear.
That person had seemed very polite and had even warned Lu Yin.
Lu Yin had never imagined that such a person would be able to restart the universe and cause the extinction of a universe's lifeforms.
After muttering to himself for a long time, Lu Yin chased after the meteorite.
The meteorite entered another broken world, and its eyes blinked continuously.
"Are you looking for that invisible light?" Lu Yin's voice traveled over. Aside from that, he could not think of anything else in this broken world that could attract the meteorite.
Even he could not find that light, so it was clearly not an ordinary object.
The meteorite did not respond, and its eyes continued to blink as it continued to wander.
Lu Yin had no intention of attacking the meteorite at all. The meteorite was lucky that reversing time had saved the Tian Yuan Universe from disaster, giving him a chance to save his home. This meteorite, on the other hand, was not so lucky.
His race had been wiped out, and he was the only one left in the entire universe. Just thinking about it was suffocating.
Furthermore, Lu Yin did not understand how the meteorite had distanced itself from him just now.
He watched the meteorite blink continuously, changing places after blinking, and then continuing to change locations.
Lu Yin did not disturb the meteorite, and the meteorite did not leave either. Both remained in this broken world.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the meteorite's eyes suddenly opened, as if it had found something. It blinked, and Lu Yin stared at it carefully. He vaguely saw ripples appear in its eyes, as if something had entered it.
The next moment, the broken world disappeared.
Lu Yin thought to himself. Sure enough, when he had obtained the Sharp Edge Shard, he had used it to move the light, and the broken world had moved as well. This meant that the essence of the broken world was that light. The meteorite must have absorbed that light, which was why the broken world had disappeared.
How had that light been absorbed?
What was it?
The meteorite continued to the next broken world.
A few days later, that broken world also disappeared, and the meteorite moved on to the next one.
On average, the meteorite could make a broken world disappear in five days. However, the broken worlds that disappeared were very ordinary and small. They couldn't even cover a planet. If it was a bigger broken world, it would take more than five days.
The meteorite avoided the larger broken worlds that they encountered along the way.
"What's the name of your civilization?" Lu Yin asked.
The meteorite ignored him.
"How long have you been developing?"
The meteorite ignored him.
"Why did Tianchao restart your civilization?
Was it to enter immortality? "
The meteorite ignored him.
"Did that Clear step into eternal life with the help of your civilization's reboot?"
The meteorite ignored him.
He didn't want to respond to anything. As long as Lu Yin didn't get in his way, he wouldn't attack Lu Yin. He had attacked Lu Yin in the beginning because of his madness, but most of his consciousness had been absorbed by Lu Yin, and that madness had been suppressed. As long as he didn't lose control, he would be fine.
Lu Yin looked at the meteorite and blinked continuously, searching for the light. He slowly said, "I don't belong to this universe. This universe is called the Consciousness Universe. There are two sides to the Consciousness Universe, the Spiritualized Universe, and the Tianyuan Universe. I come from the Tianyuan Universe."
"The Tianyuan Universe is my hometown. My people, my family, and my lover are there …"
Lu Yin slowly explained some of the things that had happened in the Tianyuan Universe.
