Star Toad thought about it and shook its head, "I can only feel it in front of me."
"You don't feel it at all?"
"Let me think." Star Toad stared at the giant snail, "I want to get closer to it."
"And then?"
"I don't know."
Lu Yin told Qinglian Yu the Star Toad's answer, and Qinglian Yu said, "It must be a sense of familiarity from the bloodline. This time, we have to rely on the Star Toad. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know that these creatures were outside the Karmic Constellation."
"Senior, what do you plan to do?"
"These creatures didn't enter the Karma Celestial Phenomenon. They stopped not too far away from it. If there is an eternal life among them, they will definitely be able to sense the Karma Celestial Phenomenon. If there isn't, then it might be a coincidence."
Upstart Lotus Protector said, "But no matter if it's a coincidence or not, we must drive them away. They are too close to human civilization and will attract other civilizations' attention."
Lu Yin understood, "Any civilization that dares to come in contact with other civilizations has a high probability of having eternal life. Once we approach them, we will notice the Causal Celestial Phenomenon."
"Then, is it the Night Pillar Expedition?"
"No need. Let Bitter Lamp do it. They should be back soon. We can test this civilization."
Upstart Lotus Protector and Master Bitter Lamp went out to look for the hive civilization, but to prevent them from attacking Ninth Heaven, they would come back every once in a while.
The direction they were looking for was around the Causal Celestial Phenomenon.
The hive civilization must be around the Causal Celestial Phenomenon and not too far away.
Master Bitter Lamp's Mind Lamp was still far away, so they had to go around the Causal Celestial Phenomenon for now.
"Now, we can only hope that this civilization came by coincidence. Otherwise …" Upstart Lotus Protector's face was heavy.
Lu Yin looked up, "Unknown."
Upstart Lotus Protector didn't answer and disappeared.
Lu Yin's eyes were heavy. The Unknown knew about Qi Xu's death and would definitely attack the human civilization. The owner of the blue sword shadow said that he would fight the human civilization in the future.
In that case, it was very likely that this foreign civilization was brought here by the unknown.
If so, it meant that a new civilization war was about to start.
And the target was still the unknown behemoth.
What was more troublesome was that the hive civilization hadn't been dealt with yet.
Civilizations appeared one after another, and the human civilization was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
This feeling was very unpleasant.
Now that the Mind Residence was newly built, perhaps some of the cultivators could enter the Mirage Domain and cultivate their consciousness first, creating a batch of powerful consciousness bodies for the Mind Residence to prevent civilization wars.
…
Half a month later, the Gate of Wonder and Bitter Lamp returned. As soon as they entered the Karmic Celestial Phenomenon, Blue Lotus asked Master Bitter Lamp to go to the direction of the giant snail civilization.
Master Ku Deng hadn't fought much since he reached the Immortal Realm. The chain of cause and effect had just begun, so it was best for him to fight.
Even with the speed of an Eternal Life Realm expert, it would take a long time to travel from one direction to another.
Fortunately, the Karma Celestial Phenomenon was an irregular shape. Therefore, Master Ku Deng and the others were not far away from where the giant snail was, and could arrive in a few months.
In the past few months, those giant snails were still in the same place. Except for the space ripples under their bodies and the gas spurting out of their antennae, they did nothing else. It was as if they were sleeping.
Seeing those giant snails, Master Ku Deng had a completely different feeling from the Green Lotus Upper Defense.
The Green Lotus Upper Defense saw them through the Karma Celestial Phenomenon, but Master Ku Deng was not far away from those giant snails at the moment. He felt an indescribable pressure in person. That kind of pressure was not a battle prowess, and he didn't sense the energy of Eternal Life from those giant snails.
It was just that those giant snails seemed to be everywhere in the universe, and each of them was enormous. They even made the starry sky sticky, which was why he felt such a pressure.
It was as if he was walking in a swamp.
Master Ku Deng stepped out of the Karma Celestial Phenomenon. His body rumbled, and the starry sky collapsed, turning into a horrifying Abyssal Qi that spread out, shaking the space around him.
The vibration woke up those giant snails.
Countless giant snails raised their antennae and faced Master Ku Deng. The giant snail in the front kept backing away, and the ripples under its body became more violent.
Master Ku Deng waved his hand casually, and the pressure swept across the starry sky, turning into a gust of wind that almost blew away many giant snails.
The giant snails made strange sounds, communicating with each other, full of panic.
"What civilization are you from?
Why are you here? "Master Ku Deng asked. Those giant snails were not weak, so it was not difficult to communicate with them.
Those giant snails were in a panic for a while before they calmed down. Then, an even larger snail moved out slowly from the crowd, facing Master Ku Deng and lowering its antennae. "Honorable eternal life, have we disturbed you?"
Master Ku Deng looked at the giant snail in front of him. The shell on the back of the snail was quite strange, as if it was a rotating space.
This giant snail had the combat ability of the consummate level of the Bitter Disaster Realm, and Master Ku Deng could clearly feel that it was very close to him before he reached the Eternal Life Realm.
"Why are you here?"
"We are escaping from a catastrophe."
"What catastrophe?"
"A catastrophe that is about to be destroyed, honorable eternal life. We have no intention of offending you. If we were not forced into a dead end, we would not be walking in this area. Please give us a way out."
Master Ku Deng asked, "What creature gave you the catastrophe of destruction?"
"We don't know, and we have never seen it. That creature did not intend to communicate with us, either. It occupied the universe where we used to be, so we had to escape."
"How far is it from here?"
"Very, very far away. We have been running for billions of years."
Master Ku Deng was relieved. "You can go now. This place is not suitable for you."
"Honorable eternal life, can you take us in? We are willing to serve you."
Master Ku Deng refused directly. It was a taboo to take in a foreign creature without permission, unless it was certain that the creature had been destroyed. For example, the space civilizations that had gone to the Ninth Heaven Universe had been destroyed.
However, no one knew how many of these giant snails were wandering in this area. Once they were attracted, they might attract more powerful civilizations.
"Honorable eternal life, we understand. We will leave now. Thank you, thank you."
Soon, the endless giant snails turned around and walked away.
Master Ku Deng waited for more than ten days until the giant snails could no longer be seen. Only then did he return to the Karma Celestial Phenomenon.
Blue Lotus Protector was also watching the giant snails through the Karma Celestial Phenomenon. He was relieved when he saw that they had really left.
No matter how strong or weak one was, the appearance of a civilization, no matter how weak it was, made people nervous.
Not long after, Lu Yin also learned that it was a coincidence.
He asked Zhao Ran to open the Mirage Field and lead a group of cultivators to cultivate their consciousness. The Mirage Field was perfect for a place with no concept of time.
Lu Yin himself merged with the Karma Celestial Phenomenon and looked into the consciousness universe, looking for Yi Tian Que.
Where was the ancestor?
Half a year later, Lu Yin was still looking for Yi Tian Que when Blue Lotus Protector suddenly said, "Those giant snails have appeared again."
Lu Yin was startled. "When?"
"Just now."
"Why again?"
"I've asked Ku Deng to ask. He hasn't left yet."
Outside the Karma Celestial Phenomenon, Ku Deng released the power of the abyss and suppressed the giant snails. "Why did you turn back?"
"Honorable eternal life, we have sensed the existence of a powerful civilization and dare not continue. Please allow us to leave in another direction."
Master Ku Deng stared at the giant snails and a strand of karma flashed past him, heading towards the snail at the front.
Blue Lotus Protector took action. He didn't want to be involved with any civilization through karma, so he didn't do anything. Now that the giant snails had returned, there was no need to waste time.
Karma pierced through the giant snails and Blue Lotus Protector saw the past.
However, he didn't have time to see more. Far away, a sharp light pierced towards the Karma Celestial Phenomenon.
Master Ku Deng punched out and the power of the abyss collided with the sharp light. It was a transparent weapon that looked like a spear but was made of glass.
The transparent weapon was shattered and Master Ku Deng stared into the distance. "Eternal life."
"Why don't you give us a way out, unfamiliar eternal life?" A deep voice came from afar.
Master Ku Deng looked solemn. "Hiding the head and showing the tail is the behavior of a villain."
"Our race just wants a place to live. Why do you have to make things difficult for us?"
"Civilizations can't come in contact with each other. How can you not know what your purpose is?" Master Ku Deng asked.
"I'm tired. I don't want to walk anymore. In this space, every step is accompanied by death. Every step can lead to extinction. Your civilization has more than one eternal life. Why don't you and I work together to protect this area?"
"Back off." Master Ku Deng's voice was as deep as the abyss.
The people of the Bitter Abyss were kind to cultivators and were willing to accept many people and teach them cultivation methods. However, they were ruthless to foreign civilizations.
Kindness to the enemy was cruelty to oneself.
This was the belief of the Bitter Abyss.
"If your civilization doesn't want to accept us, we won't leave. Let's fight. It's better than living in danger."
Far away, a giant snail that looked no different from other giant snails appeared. Its appearance was accompanied by a familiar feeling.
It was the aura of vitality.
Master Ku Deng felt it.
"Suppress it. I'll use karma to see where it came from." Blue Lotus Protector's voice came.
…
Above the Karma Celestial Phenomenon, Blue Lotus Protector faced Lu Yin. "Be prepared. The unknown is coming."
Lu Yin's heart sank. "Is it really unknown?"
Blue Lotus Protector sighed. "A blue sword appeared in the karma of the eternal life."
Lu Yin knew this day would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
"Is this creature very strong?" Lu Yin asked.
Blue Lotus Protector frowned. "I don't know. I only saw one eternal life. If that's the case, it won't be able to defeat us. But since the unknown is using them to attack us, it must be confident. It's just that we haven't seen through it yet."
"You can't see through the karma of the eternal life?"
Blue Lotus Protector shook his head.
