Lu Yin wasn't the only one who had seen Grandmaster Lan Ye's death. Wei Heng, Jing Lian, Qing Yun, Granny Yin, and the others had all seen it.
Lu Yin took a step forward and reappeared at the place where Grandmaster Lan Ye had died. Nothing was left behind except for the shattered remains of the Mother Tree.
The Mother Tree that had once supported the entire Lan Universe had been reduced to fragments and collapsed. As the universe rebooted, it continued to shrink.
Soon, the Mother Tree would disappear forever.
Would a new Mother Tree appear at that time?
Lu Yin walked over the remains of the Mother Tree and touched the dried bark. It was rough and would break if he didn't use any strength.
For some reason, he felt an inexplicable sadness as he watched the Mother Tree shatter with the universe's rebooting. Was the Mother Tree the first life of the universe?
If the universe was gone, it would be gone too.
What did this Mother Tree represent to the Lan Universe?
A child?
The universe was being rebooted and destroyed, and the Mother Tree was also shattering. If the universe had a mind of its own, it would be like watching one's own child shatter in front of one's eyes.
Lu Yin squatted down and placed his hand on the remains of the Mother Tree, muttering to himself, "I'll send you on your way." With that, his strength spread out and shattered the Mother Tree.
In an instant, the Mother Tree turned into ashes and disappeared into the starry sky.
Lu Yin remained squatting as the ashes of the Mother Tree revolved around him. Within the ashes, a blurry green light appeared and continuously entered Lu Yin's body.
Lu Yin was surprised. What was this?
He raised his hand and allowed the green light to fall, but it passed through his palm. He couldn't touch it.
But the green light had entered his body.
Lu Yin released the starry sky in his heart, and all the green light entered. It flew around his heart and gathered together to form a larger green light.
He still couldn't touch this light.
Lu Yin couldn't understand and asked Jing Lian and the others, but they all shook their heads and said that they didn't see any green light, let alone understand it. Wei Heng, Lu Sizhan, and the others also didn't see it.
Was that green light the Mother Tree's spirit?
The Mother Tree completely disappeared and its ashes scattered. Lu Yin didn't know if it was an illusion, but the Lan Universe's rebooting speed was increasing.
Not long after, Gu Duanke found Lu Yin and asked when they would return to the Nine Heavens Universe.
Lei Gong and Supreme Venerable Lan Ye were both dead, so the reboot of the universe was over. No matter what the others comprehended, there was no need to continue. If they didn't comprehend it at the beginning, they wouldn't be able to comprehend it later.
Thirteen years had passed since they had left the Continent of the Nine Clouds. They had been in the Orchid Universe for ten years. It wasn't a long time, but it wasn't a short time either.
Now, the Seventh Night Pillar could return to Nine Firmaments Universe and wait for Lu Yin to finish.
Lu Yin said, "Let's wait a few more years. Let me grab all the immortal matter."
This was the first time that Gu Duanke had heard someone describe the Eternal Substance as "grabbing it clean", and he couldn't help but feel envious. Lu Yin had been able to grab the Eternal Substance so brazenly, which meant that he was certain that it wouldn't be taken away by the Eternal Ruler when he returned. Gu Duanke, on the other hand, had grabbed so much Eternal Substance without suffering any backlash. Gu Duanke had no idea how Lu Yin did it.
Since this person was able to grab the Eternal Substance, he would definitely be able to use it. This meant that he also knew the Eternal Battle Technique.
A cultivator who had so many immortal materials and could use immortal skills was probably the strongest cultivator in the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Nobody could compete with him.
He didn't rush him. If he had to wait, then so be it. To a cultivator, decades or centuries made no difference.
…
Nine Firmaments Universe, Heaven's Gate, Luo Nanshan, and Yu Jing were all present. The Luo Family, the Yu Family, and the experts hired by the two families were all gathered outside Heaven's Gate. Once the cultivators from the spiritualized universe tried to break through Heaven's Gate, they would have to face them first.
Looking around, there were many cultivators gathered inside and outside Heaven's Gate. However, the number of cultivators from the Nine Firmaments Universe was less than one-tenth of the spiritualized universe.
"You still haven't contacted Yu Jing?" Luo Nanshan looked at Yu Jing.
Yu Jing said in a low voice, "Something happened."
"It seems like we can only prepare for the worst."
"The spiritualized universe doesn't have any Great Perfection Tribulation Transcendence cultivators. Either one of us can suppress them. I'm just afraid of the person behind this."
Luo Nanshan looked outside Heaven's Gate. "If it's really Master Grass, what should we do?
Only the Imperial Deity can deal with him. "
Yu Jing shook his head. "Even if it's Master Grass, he wouldn't make a move openly. Otherwise, he would have broken through Heaven's Gate long ago. Master Grass must be involved in this. Otherwise, how could these people have the confidence to confront Heaven's Gate? I'm just afraid that there are other people besides Master Grass."
Outside Heaven's Gate, under the starry sky of the distant Imperial God Mountain, countless cultivators faced Heaven's Gate and sat cross-legged. Their eyes were filled with hatred and resentment.
The Nine Firmaments Universe's control and deprivation of the spiritualized universe had completely ignited the entire spiritualized universe. People kept joining, but they didn't break through Heaven's Gate. Instead, they were suppressing themselves. Once they couldn't suppress themselves, it would be time for war.
At the front of the crowd, Lan and Zi Tianshu were there. They represented Sky Beyond Sky.
At the back, Feng Bo and Arrow God were there. There was a circle of people around them. Although they were sitting cross-legged like those in front of them, their auras were stable, if one looked carefully, they would notice that those people had scarlet vertical eyes.
"Time's up. Let them out."
"It's finally time. I'm really looking forward to seeing the expressions of those from the Nine Firmaments Universe. The Luo family really thinks that they can stop the trend."
A group of people appeared in Imperial God Mountain. This group of people walked past the spiritualized cultivators sitting cross-legged and walked toward Heaven's Gate. Finally, they stopped in front of Heaven's Gate.
"Quickly open Heaven's Gate and let me in. I'm Yu Jie from the Beilin Sword Sect of the Silin Region."
"I'm Spring and Autumn Jian Renfu."
"I'm Third Night Pillar Yun Ping."
"Let me in. My teacher is a guest of the Qiu Nan Clan."
"I …"
Inside Heaven's Gate, Luo Nan Shan and Yu Jing were astonished. "What's going on?
Are those people real or fake? "
"Hurry up and check the records."
"Master, those people are real. They all went to the spiritualized universe through Heaven's Gate, but they're all dead. How could they be here?"
Yu Jing's face was deathly pale. It was a conspiracy. It was a conspiracy. Someone had planned this a long time ago.
Before Yu Sang Tian had defeated Ru Shi, many people from the Nine Firmaments Universe had disguised themselves as spiritualized cultivators. At that time, the spiritualized universe had been in chaos. Some of them had died, but most of them had safely returned to the Nine Firmaments Universe.
Even though not many people had died, people had died for a long time. Now that all those people had appeared, there were many people.
There were thousands of people outside Heaven's Gate. Those people were from all sorts of influential groups in the Nine Firmaments Universe. They were from Universe, Universe, Nine Firmaments, and even the Defense of Gods.
They could stop the spiritualized cultivators from entering Heaven's Gate, but how could they stop these people?
"I just woke up. I've been sleeping. What year is it?
Hurry up and let me in. I want to go back to my family. "
"Luo Family, I'm a disciple of Dream Sky. I want to go back."
"I haven't finished the Death Hill's test yet. Open Heaven's Gate and let me go back …"
Luo Nan Shan and Yu Jing felt a chill down their spines. They couldn't stop them. Someone had planned this for a long time. It was a conspiracy that spanned dozens of eras. Heaven's Gate couldn't stop them.
…
Spiritualized universe and intent realm. Shi Xiu shouted angrily at the group of cultivators in front of him, "Who told you to go against Heaven's Gate?
I told you, intent realm can't get involved in this. "
Below him, someone was unwilling to accept it. "The Nine Firmaments Universe stole our spiritualized universe's resources. We cultivated for the sake of the Nine Firmaments Universe. If the Nine Firmaments Universe wants to, they can make us die immediately. We can't accept this."
"Alliance Master, please say something. Intent realm will attack Heaven's Gate."
Shi Xiu was furious. "Piss off!"
The cultivators left one after another.
Master Feng walked over. "Alliance Master, the influential groups can't stop them. Wan Shou, Tian Shou, and half of the cultivators from the thirty-six territories went against Heaven's Gate. Even the lunatics from the Qie Region went there. Nobody can stop them."
Shi Xiu had a headache.
Master Feng wanted to say something but stopped.
"What do you want to say?"
"Alliance Master, if we don't resist, the spiritualized universe will really become a puppet of the Nine Firmaments Universe. We cultivated for a lifetime to help the Nine Firmaments Universe. Should we really do that?"
Shi Xiu said bitterly, "A gate can stop our spiritualized universe for more than ten years. Do you think we can resist the Nine Firmaments Universe?"
"But the Supreme Pinnacle has appeared."
"You saw it?"
Master Feng opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything.
No one knew whether the Supreme Pinnacle's appearance was real or not. Many people were sure because the passage connecting the space and time of the Imperial God Mountain to the spiritualized universe could only be opened by an Eternal Life Realm cultivator. Moreover, the conclusion that the Supreme Pinnacle had appeared came from the Zhikong Region, but Elder Yu hadn't appeared for more than ten years.
"How are those insects?" Shi Xiu suddenly asked.
Master Feng said, "They've been dealt with. It's just some insects. I don't know who raised them."
"Don't be careless. Those insects reproduce very quickly, and I have a bad feeling."
"Yes."
In the Lingbao Region, the Plain Master Sect was also restraining their people to confront the Elysium. The Grand Universe Chamber of Commerce was doing the same, but they couldn't stop the entire spiritualized universe.
Now, the spiritualized universe was lacking an opportunity to break through the Elysium.
…
In the Tianyuan Universe, with the return of Wu Jiang, the crisis of the hive gradually calmed down.
The people on Wu Jiang were completely different from when they left the Tianyuan Universe. The changes in the Nine Firmaments were like scriptures, transforming the cultivators on Wu Jiang. Especially the breakthroughs of Heavenly Lord Dousheng and Desolate God, the power of the Tianyuan Universe had increased by more than one level.
Wu Jiang's return had directly suppressed the crisis of the hive.
Imparting scriptures like this allowed the cultivators of the Tianyuan Universe to continuously increase their power.
The Forgotten Ruins God was distressed, "That Lu Yin really knows how to cause trouble. Wu Jiang can actually return safely. I originally wanted to go to the spiritualized universe."
Wang Xiaoyu calmly looked into the distance, "Wu Jiang's strength has increased too much. Once we're discovered, we won't be able to escape."
The Forgotten Ruins God chuckled, "It's okay. No matter how much he improves, he can't catch us. It's just that it's becoming more and more impossible to go to the spiritualized universe. I'm really looking forward to it. Now that Wu Jiang has returned, how is Little Lu Yin?
Could he have broken through to immortality? "
Under a strange starry sky, a massacre was unfolding. It seemed intense, but it was always one side suppressing the other.
On one side, it was the Desolate God. On the other side, there was a strange figure that looked like a human but had eight arms. It was Qing Xian.
