Lu Yin exhaled. Mi Jin Shangyu had perished together with Qi Xu for the sake of human civilization. Hui Zu had plotted against Eternity for the sake of human civilization and committed suicide in Immemorial City.
They were too similar. They were all the same.
The collision of karma lines made Lu Yin's understanding of the past clearer.
Mi Jin Shangyu had merged into Primordial's body and naturally knew that Eternity had joined forces with the spiritualized universe to attack the Above Heaven. However, at that time, the Primogenitor had disappeared, and Eternity's next target was Death. He had warned Death so that he could be prepared.
That was why Death had used an avatar to die in his place.
But where was Death himself?
Why hadn't he appeared until now?
Also, if Mi Jin Shangyu could warn Death, why didn't Death warn Ancestor Lu Yuan and the others?
Instead, he fought Eternity alone and even used a palm that crossed the river of time to save Lu Yin?
That palm was unleashed by him, but it was an avatar that died in his place. It was also unbelievable that Eternity didn't notice.
The fog still couldn't see clearly.
Lu Yin continued to use karma to look at Primordial.
Half a day later, Primordial left.
Lu Yin and the others fell silent.
"Now, we can almost see it clearly. Primordial entered Heaven's Prime, and Master Qingcao blocked him outside Heaven's Prime. He used the excuse that Jiuxiao couldn't interfere with the Heaven's Prime Universe as an excuse to attack him. In reality, his target was Mi Jin Shangyu, causing Mi Jin Shangyu's thoughts to be scattered. Only after confirming that Mi Jin Shangyu had dissipated did Primordial enter Heaven's Prime," Lu Yin said.
After a pause, he continued, "But Master Qingcao still underestimated Mi Jin Shangyu. Mi Jin Shangyu used his last bit of thoughts to warn Death. No one knows what he said to Death, but it allowed Death to be prepared for Eternity's attack. Mi Jin Shangyu's thoughts completely dissipated."
"The power of an Eternal Realm powerhouse doesn't disappear so easily. That almost dissipated thought created Hui Zu after a long time."
"This is the entire process. Even if there is a deviation, it won't be too big. Now, what we can't figure out the most is where is Death?
If he didn't die, no, he shouldn't have. He was warned and must have been prepared. Then, where is he now and what is he doing?
Also, why did he save me? "
Lu Yin glanced at everyone and said in a serious tone, "Senior and I were separated for a long time. At that time, he didn't even know of my existence.. Even if he saw the future, how far is the future?"
The Ancient God said, "There is more than one future."
He looked at Lu Yin. "If you weren't so important, Chu Heizi wouldn't have done something like that. Even we can't see through that clone of his, and it's even cultivated death energy. It's definitely extremely powerful. Sacrificing a clone is a form of misdirection, but I believe that he truly wants to save you."
Chu Yi said, "Even if he was the one sacrificing himself, perhaps he would still do the same. He saw your future."
Everyone looked at Lu Yin. "Chu Heizi has reached the Primordial realm, allowing his gaze to pierce through the river of time. This is something we can't achieve, but there's one person who can."
"Fate," Lu Yin answered.
Lu Yuan took a deep breath. "Niu Niu can also see the future. Both she and Chu Heizi can see the future. There must be a reason why they both chose to disappear. Niu Niu has also helped you."
Lu Yin nodded, "Wake Zhao Ran up and reverse time."
He stared blankly ahead. A Grim Reaper had sacrificed an avatar to save him, while Fate had given him a chance to start anew. Just what kind of future did they see?
Lu Yin had never thought that he would be able to see the future.
What kind of battle prowess did he possess?
Building a bridge to the future would allow him to change the future. This was not something that could be determined by battle prowess.
Fate had only cultivated this power after emerging from the Forbidden Land, allowing him to plot against the ferryman through the river of time.
Why could the Grim Reaper see the future when he broke through to the Primordial realm?
Lu Yin was also in the Primordial realm right now.
Lu Yin believed that the Grim Reaper was very powerful, but he should not be able to surpass him. He was already at the limit of existence below eternal life.
Unless the Grim Reaper cultivated a power different from Lu Yin's, or the Grim Reaper cultivated a different power, or perhaps he had grasped something similar to a turbid treasure.
Lu Yin walked out of the Above the Sky Sect and guided the river of time into the mirage domain.
Within the domain, Wei Nü had run off again. She was also frustrated; Lu Yin's battle prowess had increased too quickly. She could not stop him from entering the domain, so she could only run.
Lu Yin stood by the river of time and looked at Zhao Ran. "I want to see the future."
Zhao Ran shook her head. "You can only build a bridge yourself. I can't help you."
"I want to change the future."
"Impossible."
"The Grim Reaper crossed the river of time to save me once, and Fate gave me a chance to wake you up. All of this happened in the past."
Zhao Ran continued, "You can see the past and the future by building a bridge. To affect the past, you have to withstand the impact of the river of time. You've seen this power before."
This was the power of the Unborn Girl Paper Cut. In every era, there would be a person who was cut. Once this silhouette was torn apart, it would theoretically affect the future. However, because the river of time was eternal and unchanging, it was impossible to go against it. As a result, the two forces overlapped, forming the impact of the river of time.
"Have you ever seen history truly change?" Zhao Ran asked.
Lu Yin frowned. Wei Nü's Papercut battle technique was only an attack, and it did not actually change the past.
If he wanted to change the past, he would need to break the unchanging river of time and smooth out the countercurrent power. This was a mighty power that Lu Yin could not even imagine.
The small boat of light could help him go against the flow of time and change his past location, but it could not change others. Others would still go with the flow of time, and his past location would also disappear. He could not reappear at the same time.
The so-called rewind of time by one second was only limited to a certain range and had nothing to do with history. It was also an application of the power of time.
The only way to truly change history was to return a tributary to the main stream.
Only once had history truly been changed.
However, that history was wrong to begin with, and it was a tributary created by fate's sneak attack on Wei Nü.
"If you want to change history, the only way is if the time of history is wrong."
"You mean that if the time of the future is also wrong, then it can be changed?"
"Fate did what Wei Nü wanted to do before I did, creating a time paradox and creating a tributary to the river of time. Thus, when I woke up, I made the tributary return to the main stream and change the past. If the future is wrong, then the one who can change the future is not me."
"It's you after the future," Lu Yin blurted out.
Zhao Ran said, "Or perhaps it's another ferryman of the river of time."
Lu Yin looked deeply at Zhao Ran, and six words appeared in his mind: the cup of tea began, and the cup of tea ended.
If this was left behind by fate, then could the Grim Reaper's palm also be some sort of coordinate in the river of time?
This was the only answer Zhao Ran could give. Lu Yin could not see the future, and he could not build a bridge to the future within the river of time. Thus, there was no other explanation.
If he could change the future one day, and it was different from what Zhao Ran had said, then it would explain the Grim Reaper's palm.
Now, he wanted to find Master Qingcao and see if he knew anything about the Grim Reaper.
…
In the Tianyuan Universe, four space-time battleships floated in the starry sky. All the spiritualized cultivators from the universe gathered and discussed excitedly.
"We can finally go back. I don't want to come to the Tianyuan Universe again."
"I really miss my home. I didn't even miss it this much when I went on an expedition to the Consciousness Universe."
"That's because you knew that we could go back on an expedition to the Consciousness Universe, but this time is different. When we set off, some people said that we would never be able to go back. Fortunately, Master Lu is wise and is willing to let us go."
"It was Su Sang Tian who fought for it. Thank you, Su Sang Tian …"
All the cultivators were discussing and excitedly wanted to go back.
Some people were uneasy. "Is it really okay for us to go back?
The spiritualized universe has been robbed of its spiritual seed by the Jiuxiao Universe. Our lives are not in our own hands. "
"Or do you believe that the Jiuxiao Universe will give us an explanation?
Let us go? "
Countless people were silent.
They had supported the Tianyuan Universe because Lu Yin said that he could let them enter the Jiuxiao Universe. Now, Lu Yin also admitted that the Su Master Dao had told everyone that they could follow him into the Jiuxiao Universe. But what was the use of entering the Jiuxiao Universe?
Was the Jiuxiao Universe willing to let them go?
Lu Yin did not say that he would give them freedom.
For a moment, the cultivators on the battleship felt their hearts sink.
They could leave the Tianyuan Universe and return to the spiritualized universe, but what awaited them?
The Su Master Dao stood on the deck and looked into the distance with a complicated expression. That direction was the Above Heaven Sect.
Returning was the wish of all the spiritualized universe's cultivators, but what they wanted was the freedom to return. They did not want to continue being oppressed by the Jiuxiao Universe. What was the point of going back like that?
It was better to stay in the Tianyuan Universe. At least the people of the Tianyuan Universe did not oppress them.
Moreover, they had received the Nirvana Tree's teachings, so Lu Yin did not treat them differently.
The Su Master Dao sighed. He did not know what to do.
He suddenly missed Yu Sang Tian. Although Yu Sang Tian was tyrannical, he was at least the backbone of all the spiritualized universe's cultivators.
Behind him, a figure appeared. The Su Master Dao turned around and saw Master Qing Cao.
He looked at Master Qing Cao in shock. "The Supreme Pinnacle?"
Master Qing Cao looked at the Su Master Dao and said, "There is no need to go back. You all can stay in the Tianyuan Universe."
"The Su Master Dao greets the Supreme Pinnacle."
"Mm."
The Su Master Dao looked up and was puzzled. "Are we not going back?"
Master Qing Cao shook his head. "The spiritualized universe is not safe. The Tianyuan Universe is safe now."
"But everyone wants to go back."
"We cannot go back."
The Su Master Dao wanted to say something, but he could not. No one in the spiritualized universe could refute Master Qing Cao.
Just as Master Qing Cao was about to leave, another figure appeared. Lu Yin had arrived.
The Su Master Dao was shocked. Lu Yin had also come.
Lu Yin looked at Master Qing Cao. "Senior, you should give them an answer. They want to return to the spiritualized universe. This is not wrong."
Master Qing Cao and Lu Yin looked at each other. "You are testing me."
Lu Yin said calmly, "Why do you say that?"
Master Qing Cao said, "There is no need to test me. They can stay in the Tianyuan Universe. It is safe there."
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes and stared at Master Qing Cao.
At the side, the Su Master Dao silently retreated. There were some things that he could not listen to.
"You came here specially to find me?"
"I have something to ask you."
"There is no need to say what has already been said. I have no interest in answering you."
Lu Yin said, "Senior, you once attacked Yuanqi, right?"
