Lu Yin, the insect nest civilization, the Immortal Realm monsters, the unknown, the dead universe, and so on. There was so much information that even Ku Deng, an Immortal Realm monster, couldn't understand.
Just like many people in the Nine Clouds Universe, he didn't know the real crisis the Nine Clouds Universe was facing.
The Dead Universe, the unknown, the hive civilization was here again. There was also an Eternal Life Realm monster and Master Grass in the dark.
Furthermore, there was also this mysterious Lu Yin. What the hell was going on?
"I didn't expect that after leaving for a few years, so many things have changed. Apart from that, the Nine Clouds Universe must have changed a lot." Ku Deng sighed.
Jingmen Shangyu nodded, "You can go back and find out."
Ku Deng looked serious, "So, the one who guided me here is Mr. Lu?"
Jingmen Shangyu looked at him, "Yes."
Ku Deng nodded and looked at the stars, "Mister Lu helped the Continent of the Nine Clouds with the help of the Uptala Lotus. He is the savior of the Continent of the Nine Clouds."
Jingmen Shangyu said, "There is no benefactor. It's all for the human civilization."
"I was wrong. I didn't expect Luo Chan to be able to teleport and allow them to escape this calamity. You fought for nothing and suffered so much. Mister Lu's good intentions were wasted. What a pity, what a pity."
"It has nothing to do with you. You didn't experience it. It's just a pity that you can't find the insect nest civilization."
"I can find it."
Jingmen Shangyu looked at Ku Deng in surprise, "What did you say?"
Bitter Lamp smiled. His eyebrows bent. "I can find that droplet-shaped creature. I see the world with my mind lamp. Every creature has its own mind lamp. As long as we are within a certain range, we can find that droplet-shaped creature's mind lamp."
Jingmen Shangyu hurriedly asked, "How big is the range?"
Ku Deng thought for a while, "I can't sense the droplet-shaped creature's Mind Lamp. Either it is out of range or it has been erased. But the possibility of it being erased is not big. After all, the time is too short. So, I have to try to know how big the range is."
"Okay, let's find someone from He Fang Mountain to try."
"Okay."
"Let's go back."
"Since the insect nest civilization is reproducing fast, it means there are a lot of insects."
"They're gone now. Mister Lu used the Karma Celestial Phenomenon to deal a vicious blow. Other than the three who escaped, the rest are all dead."
Ku Deng stood where he was, facing the distance, and slowly saluted, "Thank you, Mr. Lu."
Alarmed Gate Shangyu was speechless. "You are in the Eternal Life Realm."
Ku Deng said seriously, "It has nothing to do with cultivation level. What Mister Lu has done for the Continent of the Nine Clouds is a favor."
Jingmen Shangyu shook his head. "You are still as polite as before."
"Practicing cultivation in the Abyss isn't the most profound thing, it's the heart. Follow your heart and follow the universe. If your heart is invincible, you'll be invincible. Everything depends on your heart," said Ku Deng. Then, he flew towards the Continent of the Nine Clouds.
…
In the Tian Yuan Universe, Lu Yin rested for an entire month before recovering.
Then, he used the Karma Celestial Phenomenon to check the Continent of the Nine Clouds again. When he saw that the Continent of the Nine Clouds was calm, he looked away.
"Senior, how long have you been here?" Lu Yin suddenly asked as he looked towards the corner.
Over there, Grandmaster Qingcao had arrived at some point and was standing there like a dead tree.
"Looks like you're really tired. You didn't even know I was here."
Lu Yin sighed, "Very tired."
"How was the battle?"
"The Hive Civilization was defeated."
Grandmaster Qingcao looked at Lu Yin in surprise. "How did you do it?"
Lu Yin smiled. "Grandmaster Ku Deng has broken through to the Eternal Life Realm."
Grandmaster Qingcao looked at Lu Yin in a daze with a complicated expression. "Really? He has broken through. What a coincidence."
Lu Yin looked at Grandmaster Qingcao with a complicated expression. It was a pity, but there was also a hint of inexplicable feeling.
Did Grandmaster Qingcao really want the Continent of the Nine Clouds to be destroyed?
If the Continent of the Nine Clouds was destroyed, he might achieve what he wanted and complete the agreement with the Unknowns. But how would he deal with the Hive Civilization?
How would he deal with the other civilizations outside of the Unknowns?
"Senior, do you really think that the Unknowns are the greatest enemy of mankind since ancient times, or even in the future?"
"Senior, you are willing to reach an agreement with the Unknowns and sacrifice some people in exchange for the Unknowns' friendliness. But friendliness doesn't mean protection. Human civilization can't count on the Unknowns' protection. If too many people die, how can we face other civilizations?"
"The bottom line of the Unknowns must be in the entire universe, the bottom of the Unknowns' knowledge. Is it worth it to pay such a big price for the Unknowns' friendliness?" Lu Yin asked.
He had never said these words before. But now, with the breakthrough of Master Bitter Lamp, he could say it. Because if there was one more Master of Herbs among human beings, the five strongmen of the Eternal Life Realm would be enough to protect themselves in the universe according to the transparent moth.
So what if the Unknowns were here?
If they really fought with the human civilization, they would suffer heavy losses even if they won.
In the face of any civilization outside of the Unknowns, five Eternal Life Realm masters were confident enough.
Even if Lu Yin didn't know how strong the fishing civilization was, it didn't stop him from thinking so.
That was a total of five Eternal Realm experts.
If the Immortal Master of the Hive Civilization knew that there were five Eternal Life Realm masters in the Ninth Heaven Universe, would he still dare to invade?
One more Eternal Life Realm master was enough to change the situation.
Grandmaster Qingcao looked at Lu Yin with a smile. "You are indeed the master of a universe. Master Lu's breadth of mind and magnanimity can convince many people. Unfortunately, the basis of these words is that you have seen the universe clearly. You still haven't seen it clearly."
"What do you want me to see?
Why don't you tell me? "Lu Yin retorted.
Grandmaster Qingcao shook his head. "For the human civilization, what I did may be hateful. They treat me as a traitor and the root of the decline of the human civilization, but I always believe that this is the right way." After saying that, he stepped out and disappeared.
Lu Yin watched Grandmaster Qingcao leave and frowned.
As Grandmaster Qingcao said, he was quite unhappy.
If the human civilization was completely united, why would they worry about not being able to establish a foothold in the universe?
Why did Grandmaster Qingcao oppose them?
Why did he have to cooperate with the Unknowns?
No one was stupid, they just couldn't see it clearly.
Grandmaster Qingcao must have his reasons for doing so, whether it was right or wrong.
Suddenly, Lu Yin thought of one thing. Why did Mijin Shangyu let Grandmaster Qingcao go?
Was it because he wanted to keep one more Eternal Life Realm master for the human race?
This was a kind and ridiculous way of doing things, but was Mijin Shangyu stupid?
Of course not.
Could there be other reasons?
What was it?
Mijin Shangyu died, and Qinglian Shangyu and the others didn't do anything to Grandmaster Qingcao. There must be a reason.
Lu Yin thought of the Gate of Arts again. It was a crisis brought to the human civilization by the unknown, but also a way out left by the human civilization itself. Then, was the existence of Grandmaster Qingcao also a way out?
If so, did it mean that Qinglian Shangyu and the others couldn't completely deny his correctness?
Lu Yin stood in place and pondered.
The sound of footsteps came from behind him.
Lu Yin looked back and saw a familiar face, which shocked him. Countless thoughts came to his mind, and there was an unspeakable pain. She was Long Xi.
"Why are you here?"
Long Xi looked at Lu Yin calmly. The sun shone on her face, making her refined appearance more exquisite and beautiful. Her long blue hair fell to her waist. Even after many years, she still had a light aura, as if he saw her for the first time.
Time flew by, and Lu Yin actually had an illusion.
The Long Xi before his eyes was the same as the first time they met. At that time, she gave her most precious blood to him, aiding him in his growth. That night, the phenomenon in the Ancestral Mang made everyone certain that Long Xi was already someone's wife. After that night, she could no longer marry anyone else. Regardless of whether Lu Xiaoxuan was still alive or not, from that night onwards, she was his wife.
In his dream, he experienced it a second time, and it was even more unforgettable than the first. They even had a cute child, Xiaoxuan. The child was smiling at him, waiting for his return.
The child's innocent smile was unbearable for Lu Yin. He had lost that child. It clearly didn't exist, but he had really lost it.
The suffocating pain was unbearable.
He didn't want to face this woman. He had let her down from the beginning. She had done so much for him, even betraying her family. But he didn't dare face her. He had lost his child, lost his past, and lost the possibility of karma.
If Xianyan was the wife that Lu Yin had decided on, then Long Xi was already his wife, whether it was reality or karma.
He had let this woman down.
"What's wrong?" Long Xi was puzzled and looked at Lu Yin worriedly.
Lu Yin slowly sat down and said hoarsely, "Nothing. Why are you here?"
Long Xi said, "Master asked me to make tea for you. Zhao Ran isn't here."
Lu Yin nodded. Before Wu Jiang went to the spiritualized universe, she had also wanted to replace Zhao Ran to make tea for him.
"You don't want me to stay?" Long Xi asked softly.
Lu Yin looked at her, "No, you."
He wanted Long Xi to stay. He didn't know why, but he always felt warm when she was by his side.
But he didn't want her to stay either. Every time he saw Long Xi, he would think of Xiaoxuan.
The cycle of karma was too torturous. That was why those people were so desperate when they were sent to hell by him.
"You can stay."
Long Xi looked at Lu Yin, "Why are you looking at me so strangely?"
Lu Yin looked away and took a sip of tea, "Am I?"
Long Xi was puzzled, "It's like you're looking at a familiar stranger. It reminds me of the way people looked at you when you first found out that you were Brother Xiaoxuan. Did I forget something?"
Lu Yin put down the teacup, "Of course not. I'm just tired."
"Then rest well."
"Okay."
Long Xi turned and left. Before she left, she whispered, "It's good that you're back." Then she left.
Lu Yin looked at the teacup with a complicated expression. There was no more flower tea. The tea was fresh and pleasant, but it was too bitter.
"Master Lu, people from the Ninth Firmament Universe are here to see you." The Second Nightking's voice sounded.
"Let them in."
Soon, two people arrived. One was an old acquaintance, Gu Duanke. The other was a stranger, but he was also a Complete Ku Adversity powerhouse who had just undergone spiritual cultivation.
