Now that the Tianyuan Universe's Zerg nest crisis had been contained with Wu Jiang's return, the humans had begun to counterattack the Zerg and clean up the parallel universes. However, there were too few experts, and they could not solve the problem in a short time.
If the spiritualized universe came looking for trouble now, it would be really troublesome.
Sir Victor held his golden staff and looked at the border. "Looking for trouble?
Do they still have experts? "
Shan Gu was puzzled. "What has Master Lu done to the spiritualized universe?
Why are you so confident? "
Beside him, Mu Zhu said, "In any case, they shouldn't be looking for trouble with the Tianyuan Universe."
As they spoke, the experts headed to the border. Sir Victor's golden staff swept across, and the Zerg at the border were all wiped out. The next moment, the Reboot Battleship rushed through the door and slowly stopped in front of everyone.
Chu Yi's gaze turned cold. "It really is a spiritualized universe battleship."
Before they could think further, Disaster stood at the bow and shouted excitedly, "Master Lu ordered the spiritualized universe to support the Tianyuan Universe. We will obey any order."
In front of them, the Tianyuan Universe's experts stared blankly. What?
Master Lu ordered the spiritualized universe to support the Tianyuan Universe?
No one had expected this.
Even Wu Jiang's group had not expected this. When they returned to the Tianyuan Universe, Lu Yin was being chased by an Eternal Realm monster, and the spiritualized universe's captive cultivators had been forcefully taken away by Master Grass.
How had Lu Yin done it?
He had not only escaped the pursuit of an Eternal Realm monster, but he had also ordered the spiritualized universe to support the Tianyuan Universe under Master Grass's nose.
Gu Shen, Wu Tian, Jialan Zhiluo, Void Master, and the others looked at Chu Yi and the others in confusion. Hadn't Lu Yin been chased and had no choice but to escape?
Hadn't Master Grass returned to the spiritualized universe?
What was going on?
In the distance, Meng Ya had a look of disbelief. What had Lu Yin done?
He had heard Wu Jiang's group talk about what had happened in the consciousness universe, and he was glad that he had escaped early. Otherwise, he would have encountered the Eternal Realm monster and Master Grass. But Lu Yin had encountered them and escaped. How could he order the spiritualized universe to help?
Damn it.
No one could figure out what had happened.
Su Shidao, Zi Tianshu, and the others looked at the experts of the Tian Yuan Universe in front of them with solemn expressions. They were indeed very strong. The Tian Yuan Universe was far from what they had guessed.
They could feel the power of the Ancient Gods and Lu Yuan's unfathomable strength. They could also feel the fighting spirit of Jia Lan Zhiluo, Netherworld Ancestor, Wood Carving, and the others. The murderous aura suppressed them.
The spiritualized universe had gone through many changes, and its murderous intent had long faded away. Now, compared to the Tian Yuan universe, the difference between them was obvious.
They knew very well that their greatest advantage lay in their numbers. The average strength of the spiritualized universe's cultivators exceeded that of the Tian Yuan Universe. This was also the reason why they had the confidence to help the Tian Yuan Universe resolve its crisis. In terms of absolute experts, they were no longer comparable to the current Tian Yuan Universe.
The Tian Yuan Universe was no longer the weakest of the three universes.
Under Wang Wen, Wei Rong, and the others' orders, the four spiritualized universe's battleships headed toward four parallel space-times and started to exterminate the insects.
When they saw the bugs that filled the Tian Yuan Universe's parallel space-time, they finally understood why Lu Yin had wanted to completely eliminate the spiritualized universe's bugs before they had set off. It turned out that the Tian Yuan Universe's crisis came from those bugs.
Lu Yin had not told them what the Tian Yuan Universe's crisis was; he had only told them that the more cultivators they sent, the better.
Now, they knew.
But why had the bugs appeared in the spiritualized universe?
Had Wu Jiang brought them there?
Right, Calamity.
The Su Shidao thought of Calamity. Lu Yin had only found this person at the last moment, so why was he in the spiritualized universe?
Even an idiot would be able to guess that the spiritualized universe's bugs might have been brought there by him.
When the Su Shidao thought of this, he felt an indescribable anger. They had actually transferred the crisis to the spiritualized universe. How hateful.
And he had treated this person so well along the way. How infuriating.
However, this was not something that he could decide on. The people of the Tian Yuan Universe were truly evil.
Fortunately, Lu Yin himself was not bad, and he had helped the spiritualized universe deal with the bugs. From the looks of it, his quality surpassed that of the Tian Yuan Universe's people.
Elsewhere, in the sect's main hall in the sky, Lu Yuan, the Ancient Gods, and Chu Yi were all gathered around Calamity, and they had all heard Lu Yin's words.
"Leave them behind?" Lu Yuan raised his brows, his eyes filled with killing intent. "You've dealt with them?"
Calamity replied, "No, Master Lu means not to let them return to the spiritualized universe."
"Why is that?
They can't be allowed to live in our Tian Yuan Universe forever, right? "Chu Yi did not understand.
Calamity replied, "This is Master Lu's intention, and this is only the first batch. He wants the cultivators of this era and even the next era of the spiritualized universe to come to the Tian Yuan Universe and have the Tian Yuan Universe split up their territories. In any case, they can forget about returning to the spiritualized universe for the rest of their lives."
Wang Wen smiled. "This plan sounds familiar."
Wei Rong nodded. "Back then, the Sixth Mainland and the Three Sovereigns' space-times were all nibbled away. Does Master Lu want to obtain the entire spiritualized universe?"
Calamity shook his head. "I don't know about that. Master Lu did not tell me."
Lu Yuan slammed the table. "Since that's the case, let's look for other dangers. In any case, as long as the Tian Yuan Universe is in danger, they cannot leave."
"Other dangers?
How do we find them? "Celestial Victor was stunned.
Wei Rong's lips curled up. "Make up a story. The Tian Yuan Universe is ours, so you can say whatever you want."
The Ancient God turned and left.
"Where are you going?" Lu Yuan asked.
The Ancient God did not even turn his head. "I'm going to have a chat with Mie Wu Huang. Tell him not to let it slip. This guy understands the Tian Yuan Universe more and more."
Chu Yi agreed. "We should have a good chat. Call the Star Toad, Xu Wang, and the Strength Beast. Let's go and have a chat."
There was a cauldron in the square in front of Zong Zheng's palace in the sky. Inside the cauldron, the sapling stretched out its branches and leaves from time to time. Then, it shrank back in disappointment.
"There's news of him."
A green leaf suddenly stretched out, flickering with green light. It was very pleasing. The person who spoke was Mister Mu.
Ever since Wu Jiang returned, the Desolate God had gone to Immemorial City to take Mister Mu's place to grab the string of the sequence.
Mister Mu raised his hand and touched the sapling's green leaf. "He is very safe. He will come back."
The sapling was very happy, and its green leaf rubbed against Mister Mu's face.
Mister Mu looked at the sapling and then at the cauldron. Then, he raised his head and looked at the starry sky. "I have already gone so far. I have no more worries."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the sect in the sky again. Then, he took a step forward and disappeared. When he reappeared, he had already entered the mirage domain and arrived beside the long river of time.
On the long river of time, a light boat sailed by, and faint singing could be heard.
On the other side of the river, a beautiful figure stood and stared at Mister Mu.
Mister Mu looked at the opposite side of the river and smiled. He lifted his foot and stepped into the river. At the bottom of the river, a cauldron slowly rose, causing the long river of time to boil.
Wei Nü stared at Mister Mu. "What else do you want?"
Mister Mu stood on the long river as if time had lifted him up. "I am old. I should take a gamble. Otherwise, it is not good to let my disciple risk his life outside."
"Don't be rash."
Wei Nü warned. She had never seen such a person. He was clearly not an Eternal Life Realm expert, but he could affect the long river of time more than an Eternal Life Realm expert. That cauldron was too strange.
Mister Mu smiled and did not say anything else. His body slowly sank into the cauldron.
After Mister Mu completely disappeared, Wei Nü relaxed her clenched fists and just stood by the river, watching.
…
In the full-sensory universe, more than a year had passed since Lu Yin had grabbed the string of the sequence. Ming Zhuo and Yu continued to search along the space-time tunnel. Finally, they brought back news that a piece of Gluttony had disappeared.
Lu Yin's eyes widened as he stared at the parallel universe. "Let's go."
With that, he entered the parallel universe with Ming Zhuo and Yu.
After Lu Yin left, the Sequence String that had been grabbed immediately scattered. The void was shattered by countless ripples, but it quickly returned to normal.
This was a parallel universe that they had passed through before. Countless flowers in the starry sky had been torn apart, and there were traces of thorns everywhere. Clearly, they had come from Gluttony, but it was gone.
Lu Yin and the others quickly found traces of a battle in the starry sky. They followed the traces and found a tunnel that led to the next parallel universe. In this full-sensory universe, all parallel universes where flowers were planted had connected tunnels. These tunnels were actually meant for full-sensory lifeforms to move.
In fact, if they focused on the full-sensory lifeforms, they might be able to find the existence behind them. However, it would take a long time.
The Gluttony in the next parallel universe was also dealt with. Then, they moved on to the next parallel universe, where there was no Gluttony. Lu Yin used karma to attack the full-sensory lifeforms and flowers, colliding with their karma lines. He found a tunnel and continued.
They searched through parallel universes until they finally arrived at a completely different parallel universe.
Each flower in this parallel universe was as large as the one that had blocked the tunnel's entrance. There were full-sensory lifeforms everywhere, countless glowing planets floating around, and a huge mother tree in the distance.
Lu Yin's eyes widened; they had finally found it.
Ming Zhuo and Yu exchanged glances. They had found it, but it had taken too much effort. If not for Lu Yin, who knew how long it would have taken them to find this parallel universe?
It was normal for an expedition to the outer universe to take hundreds or even thousands of years, but how long had it been since then?
This was the terror of karma.
The three advanced towards the mother tree, restraining their auras. They didn't dare to release any probing power for fear that the existence behind them would escape.
Under this starry sky, there was an indescribable pressure that made their hearts feel heavy, as if something was there.
This was especially true for Ming Zhuo and Yu, who were at the peak of Ku Adversity.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. The closer they got to the mother tree, the stronger the pressure became.
Furthermore, there was a strange clashing sound. Was that the sound of wings flapping against each other?
There was only the mother tree and flowers in this direction, and nothing else. Lu Yin and the others changed directions and approached the tree. Not long after, the three of them stared blankly at the giant tree in the distance. There was a moth clinging to the trunk of the tree.
It was a gigantic transparent moth creature that was one-third the size of the Mother Tree. Its body flickered with the light of a planet, and its transparent wings occasionally flapped, emitting a horrifying sound. Its entire body lay on the trunk of the Mother Tree as if it was sleeping.
