Lu Yin knew about this. Back then, Startle Gate Shangyu had said that she regretted breaking through to the Eternal Realm so early. She would rather stay in the non-eternal realm and have a good fight.
The Eternal Realm and combat could not be compared at all. Who would be willing to give up the Eternal Realm for combat?
However, Startle Gate Shangyu thought so.
Lu Yin did not expect Startle Gate Shangyu to erupt with such terrifying combat power, suppressing two Eternal Realm Qing Xian.
He broke out in a cold sweat for Master Green Grass. If Master Green Grass fought with her, it would not be good.
"You humans hide so deeply. It's a pity that there are too few Eternal lifeforms and you lack absolute means. Otherwise, you would definitely be a fishing civilization," said the Great Master.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Absolute means?"
The Great Master nodded. "The symbol of a fishing civilization is not just the number of Eternal lifeforms. You humans have many Eternal lifeforms, but it is difficult for you to become a fishing civilization."
"The so-called absolute means are attack, self-defense, movement, and so on."
"For example, Luo Chan?" Lu Yin was surprised.
The Great Master smiled. "I'm just guessing. Luo Chan's talent is indeed unsolvable. As long as it is not killed, it can ensure the existence of the hive civilization. No matter how powerful you are, it will just run away. What's the use?"
Luo Chan was indeed a headache. If it could be dealt with, the hive civilization would be no threat except for the unfathomable Immortal Master.
No matter how powerful the Immortal Master was, he should be about the same as Qinglian Yu. Otherwise, he would have taken action long ago.
The reason why he had not taken action was probably because he had seen the karma celestial phenomenon and guessed Qinglian Yu's strength.
Guessing meant getting close.
It would be great if the human civilization had a teleportation talent similar to Luo Chan's.
Right, he suddenly remembered Patriarch Lu Yuan's ability. He could plant a talent. If he caught Luo Chan, would he be able to plant a teleportation talent?
The more Lu Yin thought about it, the more excited he became. Although the possibility was very small, Luo Chan's talent came from its race. If it could be replicated, the hive civilization would have done it long ago. However, it did not stop him from trying.
Imagine, what kind of scene would it be if the human civilization had another teleportation talent?
The human civilization had a headache over Luo Chan, the other civilizations would have a headache over the human civilization in the future.
Lu Yin returned to the Ninth Heaven Universe and told Qinglian Yu and the others.
Qing Lian Yu and the others were very calm. "We have also thought of this possibility. As for absolute methods, we have also thought of them. However, if absolute methods were so easy to obtain, they wouldn't be called absolute."
"If your ancestor can grow Luo Chan's talent, it will be a great contribution to the human civilization. However, the possibility of this is almost zero."
"It's not just a question of whether or not we can grow it. It's also a question of whether or not we can catch Luo Chan," Alarmed Gate of Shangyu said. She had fought Luo Chan more than once, so she knew how troublesome it was.
"As long as there's a chance, we have to try. We have to find the hive first."
"I will cooperate with Bitter Lamp to find it." Jing Men Shangyu walked out. She was the most suitable person.
Master Ku Deng was able to find the Mind Lamp of the water droplet creature. Once he found it, he would have found the hive civilization.
Not long after, Startle Gate Shangyu left the Nine Heavens and headed for the Square Inch Distance.
Although another Eternal Life Realm expert had left, the existence of the Azure Lotus Supremacy was a stabilizing force, more reliable than anyone else.
What should be done had been done. Duoluo and Deathly Stillness had been eradicated. The Unknowns had been handed over to the Azure Lotus Supremacy. Eternal and Slayer had escaped. Many things had nothing to do with Lu Yin.
Lu Yin took a step forward and when he reappeared, he was already beside the meandering river on the ground. He sat quietly.
A few days later, a small boat floated down the river. A woman was as beautiful as a painting, admiring the beautiful scenery.
Lu Yin opened his eyes and looked at the woman.
The woman felt something and looked at Lu Yin as well.
The two looked at each other.
Time seemed to stop. This moment felt like eternity.
"Do we know each other?" the woman asked with doubt in her eyes.
Lu Yin smiled faintly. "What do you think?"
The woman was puzzled. "I think we know each other."
The woman in front of him was just a projection of Ming Yan's consciousness. She had no future. Lu Yin just wanted her to be happy.
If he wanted to revive the real Ming Yan, it was already possible.
Lu Yin nodded. "We do know each other. Did you lose your memory?"
The woman smiled. "Yes, I don't remember the past."
"Do you want to know?"
"No, I'm very happy now."
"Why not?
You'll be happy if you remember the past. "
"But that won't be me."
Lu Yin froze and stared blankly at the woman in front of him. Was it her? Not her?
How could that be? She was just a projection of Ming Yan's consciousness.
Lu Yin had a feeling when he looked at the green lotus mural that he wanted to revive the real Ming Yan. He did not have the right to deprive her of her right to live, but at that time, the insectoids had attacked, and he did not know if he could survive. Thus, he had released Ming Yan's consciousness to roam the world and enjoy life.
Now, many things had been settled, and he could not wait until the human civilization was truly worry-free before reviving Ming Yan. That would be too selfish. How long would the human civilization need to be worry-free?
He had already planned to revive Ming Yan, but he had not expected to receive such a statement.
The current Ming Yan made him feel like he was looking at Lu Xiaoxuan.
The current Ming Yan, the former Ming Yan, the current Lu Yin, and the former Lu Xiaoxuan.
They were clearly the same person, but they were also not the same person.
Was he wrong?
He had made an unnecessary move to allow Ming Yan's consciousness to appear and revive her. This consciousness — no, the consciousness was still the same consciousness, but with a few additional memories. What about Lu Xiaoxuan?
It was the same; Lu Yin had also gained Lu Xiaoxuan's memories.
Lu Yin looked at Ming Yan with a complicated expression. He did not know what to do.
Ming Yan had two consciousnesses to begin with. One was the black Ming Yan, and the other was the white Ming Yan. What was this?
"What's wrong?" Ming Yan asked, curiously looking at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked away and muttered, "I'm sorry."
Ming Yan did not understand. "Why?
I'm very happy. "
"But you'll regain your memories one day."
Ming Yan smiled beautifully. "Life is short, but it's fine as long as I'm happy."
Lu Yin looked at her, not knowing what to say.
Ming Yan also looked at Lu Yin. "Can you accompany me?"
Lu Yin met her gaze.
Ming Yan said, "I hope that you can accompany me. That will make me even happier."
Lu Yin stood up and stepped onto the bamboo raft. He smiled. "I want to accompany you too."
"That's great. I wonder how long this river is."
"It doesn't matter. The scenery is the most important."
"Okay."
A year later, the river reached its end. Lu Yin wanted to bring the raft to another river, but Ming Yan stopped him. "If you can help me regain my memories, then let's begin."
"You don't want to look around anymore?"
"No, it's just like those flowers. They wither very quickly, but when they bloom, they're very beautiful. I'm very satisfied."
"How about I take you to another place? That's your hometown."
"Hometown?
The hometown in my memories?
Alright. "
Lu Yin brought Ming Yan to the Tian Yuan Universe and entered Shenwu Continent, where they continued to drift along the river.
To the raft, even Earth was very large, let alone Shenwu Continent.
Another three years passed, and Lu Yin had accompanied Ming Yan's consciousness for five years. On this day, the river finally reached its end.
Ming Yan smiled at Lu Yin. "My hometown is also very beautiful."
Lu Yin looked at her. "Can you bear to?"
Ming Yan smiled. "Will my memories disappear?"
"No."
"Then that's fine. I only belong to that happiness, and that's enough. You should let go. I can feel that you're very tired."
Lu Yin looked at Ming Yan in a daze. Her smile was like the morning sun that melted snow.
As he looked into her eyes, Lu Yin's mind unconsciously relaxed.
It was as if he could hear her calling him 'Brother Lu'.
He just looked at Ming Yan, her beautiful smile glowing. Mountains and rivers flowed, and the four seasons alternated. After an unknown period of time, Ming Yan raised a hand and stroked his cheek.
"Brother Lu, you're too tired."
"Yan 'er, was I wrong?"
"Brother Lu, let go. You're too tired."
Let go? Let go?
Let go of what?
Let go of his obsession?
Or let go of his life?
Let go of everything that he cherished?
No, he couldn't let go. He couldn't let go of anything.
Everything that he had now was something that he had painstakingly protected. He couldn't let go.
Lu Yin stared at Ming Yan. "Yan 'er, I can't let go. I can't."
In front of him, Ming Yan's gaze gradually became familiar, and her original pure happiness was replaced by a trace of pity. "Brother Lu, Yan 'er doesn't blame you, and neither does anyone else. You've done enough."
Lu Yin stared at Ming Yan in a daze, his eyes filled with emotion. "You're … Yan 'er."
Ming Yan smiled. "Yan 'er has always been Yan' er. You're not wrong. There's nothing wrong with happiness. Yan 'er hasn't disappeared, and Yan' er has let go."
"You've let go?"
Ming Yan's hair suddenly turned white, and then continued to change, but the smile on her face never changed. "I've let go. Yan 'er, I've let go."
The white-haired Ming Yan disappeared. Ming Yan had let go of the painful past, and she reached out to touch Lu Yin. Even though it was just her consciousness, Lu Yin still felt warmth.
"Brother Lu, letting go is not giving up."
Lu Yin's mind rumbled, and his thoughts went blank. Only those words kept echoing in his mind.
Letting go was not giving up.
After so many years of persistence and perseverance, he had never thought of letting go. So this was his own suffering.
Letting go was not giving up. He had tied himself too tightly, and just as the Azure Lotus Emperor had said, it was a kind of illness.
It turned out that they had long realized that this illness was their own misfortune.
Lu Yin looked up at the sky. The blue sky was very beautiful, and Ming Yan's smile was even more beautiful. At that moment, his mind was incomparably relaxed.
There was a path that led to the end. It could be flat or bumpy, so why did he feel so nervous?
He had protected the people he cared about, and he had protected human civilization. However, human civilization did not belong to him alone, but to everyone else.
Only by learning to let go could one be magnanimous.
Only by letting nature take its course could one have an end.
Lu Yin looked at Ming Yan and raised his hand to place it on her cheek. He also felt warmth.
He smiled at Ming Yan. "Yan 'er, thank you."
His smile was as pure as a river, so clear that one could see the bottom.
The Wordless Heavenly Tome suddenly soared into the sky and blossomed with light. It spread out to encompass the entire Shenwu Continent, the Innerverse, the Outerverse, the entire Fifth Mainland, and even the entire Tian Yuan Universe's primal space.
