Grand Elder Shan Gu panted heavily and bowed deeply to Lu Yin. "On behalf of the third stronghold, Shan Gu thanks Master Lu for your kindness. The third stronghold will never be able to repay Master Lu's kindness to us."
Lu Yin waved his hand. "You're now part of the Tian Yuan Universe, so I naturally have to help you."
Shan Gu was grateful. "Thank you, Master Lu. The Lost Clan will fight to the death for the Tian Yuan Universe."
Shan Gu was of no value to Lu Yin. He had never even seen that Eternal Realm expert in human form, so it was meaningless. If it were Dan Xiao, Lu Yin might not have handed it over to Grand Elder Shan Gu. At the very least, he needed Dan Xiao to understand that Eternal Realm expert in human form.
Dan Xiao was much more valuable than Shan Gu.
"Let me ask you, have you seen this person before?" Lu Yin drew the appearance of that Eternal Realm expert in human form in the void.
Grand Elder Shan Gu looked over and was shocked. "It's that Eternal Realm expert who destroyed the third stronghold."
Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was him. If not, it would mean that the Insectoid Nest civilization still had Eternal Realm experts, and that would be unimaginable. Of course, this did not mean that the Insectoid Nest civilization did not have any Eternal Realm experts aside from the Immortal Masters.
"Master Lu, have you seen it before?" Grand Elder Shan Gu was so excited that his face turned red with an inexplicable fear.
Lu Yin nodded. "It's here."
Grand Elder Shan Gu's pupils constricted as he recalled the past. He gritted his teeth. They had escaped once, but they would not escape a second time.
"The Lost Clan is willing to live and die with the Tian Yuan Universe."
Grand Elder Shan Gu was already prepared to die. First, there was the Eternal Realm teardrop-shaped creature, and now there was a humanoid Eternal Realm expert. How could the Tian Yuan Universe withstand this?
Lu Yin could not help but laugh. "It hasn't reached that stage yet. Do you know anything about it?"
Grand Elder Shan Gu said bitterly, "I'm sorry, Master Lu. We don't know much about it. Back then, the ones who were truly qualified to attack it were the emperor, the Regent, and the others. As for us, we were taken away by that card and escaped from the third stronghold."
"What level is that card?" Lu Yin asked.
Grand Elder Shan Gu's eyes flashed, and he bowed deeply without hesitation. "It's an ancient card."
Lu Yin looked at him, "So you were lying to me before?"
Grand Elder Shan Gu shook his head. "For Master Lu at that time, was there any difference between an ancient card and a super ancient card?"
Lu Yin stared blankly. That made sense. Even if someone told him that it was an ancient card, he still wouldn't be able to draw it down.
Now that he thought about it, it was no wonder that the Grand Elder Dan Gu was so excited when he first activated that card. He even gave it to the Eternal Darkness and helped him on his side. It was all because of that card. That was a super-ancient card, which could only be mastered by those in the Eternal Life Realm.
"An Eternal Realm expert has appeared in the Third Stronghold before?"
"No, there has never been a record of the Eternal Life Realm in history."
"Then why did the card appear?
Even the hive civilization is interested in this ancient card. If I'm not wrong, they want to snatch this card for the Green Immortal in human form. "
Grand Elder Shan Gu shook his head. "I really don't know. In the history of the Third Stronghold, the strongest person was the Emperor. The Emperor of our era was also the strongest Emperor in the history of the Third Stronghold. However, even the Emperor found it difficult to control that ancient card. So no one knows where that card came from."
Perhaps people at Dan Gu's level did not know, but the Emperor might know.
Just as the Alarmed Lord once said, a part of human history was missing.
Lu Yin asked Grand Elder Shan Gu to return. It was obvious that he was eager to take revenge in front of the Lost Tribe. Dan Xiao and Dan Zhu had completely awakened his memories.
Not long after Grand Elder Shan Gu left, Grandmaster Qingcao arrived.
"City Lord Jiang has already said what needs to be said. Why did you call me here?
Could it be that you want to continue on your way to reinforce the Nine Firmaments? "Grandmaster Qingcao asked playfully.
Lu Yin said, "That would be too stupid."
Once they left Tian Yuan, they would really be fooled by the hive civilization. The hive civilization could travel to any universe at any time, but it would take time for them to go to either Tian Yuan or Tian Yuan. In the end, they would not be able to save either universe.
"Then why did you call me here?" Grandmaster Qingcao asked calmly.
Lu Yin looked at him. "The Nine Firmaments Universe doesn't only have the human civilization. There are also unknowns."
Grandmaster Qingcao raised his eyebrows and looked deeply at Lu Yin. "So?"
Lu Yin met his gaze. "Will the unknowns make a move?"
Grandmaster Qingcao sneered. "Master Lu, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Let's not talk about whether there are unknowns hiding in the Nine Firmaments. Even if there are, the purpose of the unknowns is to destroy the human civilization of the Nine Firmaments. Why should we save them?"
"Or do you think that by threatening me, you can threaten the unknowns?
Then you are underestimating the unknowns. "
"For the unknowns, everything outside of their own civilization can be destroyed."
Lu Yin did not know whether Grandmaster Qingcao was telling the truth or not. He did have the intention of threatening Grandmaster Qingcao to force the unknowns to make a move. At least, they would delay one of the Eternal Realm so that the Alarmed Gate could restrain the second Eternal Realm insect. In the final battle between the Nine Firmaments Universe and the sea of insects, he was more inclined to the Nine Firmaments Universe because the Nirvana Tree technique would definitely increase the high-end combat power of the Nine Firmaments Universe.
The hive civilization was slowly approaching the Nine Firmaments Universe. It was indeed torturous, but it also gave the Nine Firmaments Universe more time to cultivate the Nirvana Tree technique.
This was something that the hive civilization did not know.
Sometimes, cleverness would be misguided by cleverness.
However, the premise of all this was that the two Eternal Realm insects were restrained. Otherwise, any one of them could obliterate the high-end combat power of the Nirvana Tree technique, which would be a disaster for the Nine Firmaments Universe.
Now, what Lu Yin wanted to know the most was what agreement Grandmaster Qingcao had reached with the unknowns.
There must be an agreement between them.
And in this agreement, there was one more person: the Eternal.
The Eternal had constantly betrayed the Nine Firmaments Universe, but he also constantly participated in Grandmaster Qingcao's affairs. If the Nine Firmaments Universe was destroyed, he would not be able to stay out of it.
"Hehe, how interesting. I never thought that one day, the Nine Firmaments Universe would face such a disaster."
"Four Eternal Realm experts. Even if I die now, there are still three left. Three Eternal Realm experts were forced to such a state by a group of insects, and they even made you, a non-Eternal Realm expert of the Tianyuan Universe, worry about them. Master Lu, don't you think it's funny?" Grandmaster Qingcao teased.
Lu Yin was indifferent. "Are you happy?"
"I can't say."
"The spiritualized universe will also be destroyed."
"Then I have to thank you, Master Lu, for preserving the spark of the spiritualized universe."
"You really don't care about the spiritualized universe?"
Grandmaster Qingcao sighed. "There is no need to make things difficult for yourself in life. If you care too much about others, you will only become a puppet of life."
"Master Lu, you care about the Tianyuan Universe. You can save it not by thinking, but by doing. Now that the Nine Firmaments Universe is about to be spiritualized, no matter what you do, you can't change the fact. You can only pray for the return of the Blood Tower or Qinglian."
"You are just a non-Eternal Realm existence. You will die, you will be helpless, and you will be desperate. Don't think too highly of yourself. Without you, the universe will still be the same universe."
Lu Yin laughed and clasped his hands behind his back. "You are wrong. Without me, the universe will be gone."
Grandmaster Qingcao was stunned. So arrogant?
"The universe exists because of me. If I die, how can the universe continue to exist?
I am my everything, and everything I do is for myself. Whether it is to protect the Tianyuan Universe or the Nine Firmaments Universe, everything starts from me. I am willing to bear it. No matter how heavy the burden is, I can bear it with a clear conscience. But what about you?
Senior, you can give up spiritualization, give up on those who see you as supreme, and give up on everything. But in the end, can you give up on yourself? "Lu Yin's voice resounded through the starry sky, echoing in Grandmaster Qingcao's ears.
Grandmaster Qingcao did not refute and just stared into the distance.
"I don't know what kind of agreement you have with the unknown, and I don't know what you want me to see clearly. In fact, living is the simplest thing. You can live with a clear conscience. That is all," Lu Yin said.
"The gains and losses of interests and emotional ties only require a clear conscience. The more you care, the more you lose."
"Is the final result really what you want?
Is what you do always right? "
Grandmaster Qingcao sighed and shook his head with a smile. "Master Lu, you are eloquent. I don't argue with you, but it doesn't mean that I think I am wrong. It is just that everyone pursues different things. Everything will be judged by history."
"The premise is that humanity has a history to leave behind."
Lu Yin stared into Grandmaster Qingcao's eyes. "I don't want the image of humanity to only appear on one door."
Grandmaster Qingcao's body trembled, and his expression changed.
Lu Yin fell silent.
The unknown door had many patterns in the shape of living creatures. Lu Yin was filled with sorrow when he saw them, as he guessed that those creatures had probably been exterminated by the unknown.
Every time a creature was exterminated, its form would be engraved on the door.
The door also had a human form, which meant that a human civilization had been exterminated.
What would happen if there were no more humans in the universe?
After a while, Grandmaster Qingcao spoke again. "No matter what you want to do, I cannot give you an answer whether the unknown is in the Continent of the Nine Firmaments. I also cannot give you an answer whether the unknown will take action. However, the Continent of the Nine Firmaments will not be destroyed so easily, even if the blood tower and the blue lotus have not returned.
"The Tianyuan Universe has developed for so many years, and there have been so many amazing geniuses. I have seen them all. The Continent of the Nine Firmaments' overall strength has already surpassed that of the Tianyuan Universe. Even if it will not be able to compare to the Tianyuan Universe in the future, there will still be many geniuses born. Do you know why the Pavilion of Youth hibernates geniuses?"
Lu Yin was surprised. "Why?"
He had thought about this question before. What was the meaning of the Young Qing King and the others hibernating in the Pavilion of Youth?
The outside world thought that the position of the God of Defense would be vacant, and the Junior Protector would awaken to fight for it.
However, Lu Yin had been in the Continent of the Nine Firmaments for so long that the position of the God of Defense did not seem too attractive. On the contrary, ultimate powerhouses like the Great Master and Qing Xing did not care about the position of the God of Defense at all.
Since that was the case, those geniuses of the Junior Protector could cultivate and strive to reach the level of ultimate powerhouses as soon as possible. Why wait?
Grandmaster Qingcao said, "Because those geniuses want to avoid an era when someone is trying to reach immortality."
Lu Yin was surprised. "Someone is trying to reach immortality?
What do you mean?
Aren't there always people trying to reach immortality? "
New.
