Lu Yin was different from Azure Lotus Defender. Their karmic cultivation path meant that he needed more creatures to deduce certain information.
There could be a crack in the sky, and he could also create one in the Tianyuan Universe. Although this crack had limited information, it did not mean that he could not deduce certain situations.
"Senior, have you heard of the crack?" Lu Yin asked.
Azure Lotus Defender was surprised, "Did those creatures tell you about it?"
Lu Yin nodded.
Azure Lotus Defender praised, "You're lucky to have met a creature with some status. No wonder you don't want to destroy it."
"Crack? Since you asked, it means that you know about it. I know about it too, so there's no need to say more. Leaving through the Unknown Door and looking for Chaos is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I want to find the crack and see if there's a human civilization in the sky."
"If there is, then it'll be troublesome. Any civilization that spreads will inevitably lead to the fishing civilization, which is the most dangerous."
"Unfortunately, we couldn't find the crack."
Lu Yin was disappointed, "You couldn't find it?"
Blue Lotus Yu nodded, "It's not strange that you couldn't find it. The establishment of the One-Line-Sky is extremely difficult, and its location is constantly changing. After all, it's a rare place where creatures interact with other creatures. If a weak civilization were to be given the opportunity to explore the One-Line-Sky, the fishing civilization would not allow it. The One-Line-Sky has to avoid the fishing civilization, but also some powerful creatures that want to take it for themselves."
"Don't think that only a civilization can destroy a civilization in the sky. Powerful creatures can also bring extinction to a civilization."
Lu Yin frowned, "Eternal life?
Aren't they afraid of being bound by karmic chains? "
"They don't have to do it personally. It's normal to keep a few thugs in captivity. Most of the weak civilizations that participate in the crack don't have eternal life. In their eyes, they're just lambs waiting to be slaughtered."
Azure Lotus Defender looked at Lu Yin with amusement, "After the previous battle, do you feel that there are a lot of eternal life?"
Lu Yin nodded subconsciously. It was far more than he had imagined. So many eternal life had appeared out of nowhere.
Azure Lotus Defender shook his head, "If there are a hundred civilizations in the sky, then there are no more than five with eternal life. Most of the other civilizations don't have eternal life. The reason you saw so many is mainly because our human civilization was targeted."
"Among them, there's the unknown fishing civilization and the hive civilization, a quasi-fishing civilization."
"Actually, it's not appropriate to call the hive civilization a fishing civilization. Their strength is far from the level of a fishing civilization, but their behavior is a fishing civilization. This kind of civilization is the most disgusting. They seek their own deaths and can easily drag other civilizations to death. To them, this is for the sake of evolution, but the possibility of them seeking their own deaths is even higher. I really don't know how they managed to survive for so long." Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes narrowed.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Senior?"
Qinglian Yu stared at Lu Yin with an unprecedentedly serious expression. "Don't you think that the hive's actions are also like bait?"
Lu Yin's hair stood on end when he heard this, and an indescribable chill crept up his spine. That's impossible.
From the beginning to the end, he had never considered this possibility.
Ever since he knew about the existence of the Hive civilization, he had regarded it as a great enemy, especially when the Hive civilization had several wars with the Ninth Heaven Universe. It was an independent civilization. How could it be bait?
However, the Hive civilization completely contradicted the survival methods of the other civilizations in the Square Kilometer.
Aside from the fishing civilizations, all other civilizations wanted to conceal themselves as much as possible, but the Hive civilization did the exact opposite. They constantly roamed the universe and exterminated civilizations based on distance. They even had a creature like the Luo Chan that could teleport.
Were they not afraid of encountering a fishing civilization?
Logically speaking, they should have encountered a fishing civilization long ago.
Why didn't the unknown civilization attack them?
It was impossible for the unknown civilization to not know about the Hive civilization.
The Hive civilization's actions were like torches in a dark forest. They ran wildly, but no one attacked them. Something was wrong. Something was very wrong.
How had they managed to survive until now?
How?
The human civilization had been careful, but they had still been besieged. So many civilizations had been exterminated, and the Hive civilization was not as strong as the human civilization. How had they managed to survive so well?
Just because of the Luo Chan?
The Luo Chan was not invincible and could be trapped. There were definitely many ways to trap it within the Square Kilometer.
How?
The most logical explanation was that there was a fishing civilization behind the Hive civilization.
The Hive civilization itself was just bait that the fishing civilization had released, and that was it.
They had always thought that bait was a springboard, a sourcebox, or a door. They had never thought that an entire civilization could be used as bait. It was only when the Sky Bearing Race appeared that they realized that a civilization could also attract another civilization. From there, they realized that a civilization could be used as bait.
"We've always treated the Hive civilization as an enemy and neglected their logic. No matter how we look at it, the Hive civilization is more like bait than the Sky Bearing Race," Qinglian Yu said in a low voice, his expression completely changing.
Lu Yin looked at Qinglian Yu and asked in a hoarse voice, "How likely is that?"
Qinglian Yu sighed. "Seventy percent."
He was afraid of thinking about everything. If he did not think of it, then he did not think of it. Once he thought of it, then many things could be explained.
"If the Hive civilization is just bait for the fishing civilization, then how powerful is the fishing civilization behind it?"
Lu Yin was apprehensive. He had not forgotten what Qinglian Yu had said. The Immortal Master's strength was unfathomable. A being with such strength and two Immortals was actually bait. Then?
Qinglian Yu had a headache.
Any fishing civilization was an abyss that could not be touched, but the human civilization seemed to have touched more than one. What was going on?
Could it be that the unknown had attracted them?
It seemed like he had to think of a backup plan.
Lu Yin also thought of a backup plan. The human civilization had to have a backup plan.
How detestable. How good would it be if the human civilization also became a fishing civilization?
They could defeat the fishing civilization and enslave it. They could move unhindered. What was the unknown? What was the universe of death? They could tear apart, destroy, and conquer their mysteries.
They could use the bones of the universe of death to wage war.
They could use the unknown door to move.
They could use insects to fill the starry sky.
They could establish the One-Line Heavens and directly promote the strength of the human civilization. They could control thousands of civilizations.
They could use each springboard as a beacon of fire.
At dawn, they could walk freely through the stars. At night, they could lie drunk on beauties' knees.
That was …
When he thought of this, Lu Yin smiled bitterly. He had thought too much.
"Think of a backup plan. Once the human civilization is besieged, the outcome may not be what you and I want to see. At least, we have to preserve the hope of passing down the legacy," Qinglian Yu said. He then sighed. "It seems like I can't escape the fate of defying the ancient."
Lu Yin comforted him. "Senior, it may not be as bad as we think. Even if there is a fishing civilization behind the hive civilization, what about the unknown?
Will there be no war between fishing civilizations? "
"We have a saying. When the sandpiper and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits."
Qinglian Yu laughed. "I hope so."
"There is one more thing I want to ask senior. Have you heard of the Red Coats under the Stars?"
Qinglian Yu was surprised. "Where did you hear about the Red Coats under the Stars?
What about those foreign creatures? "
Lu Yin nodded and told him what he knew about the Red Coats under the Stars. Qinglian Yu listened and said, "It's about the same as what I know. The Red Coats under the Stars are one of the human civilizations, just like the Tianyuan Universe and the Jiuxiao Universe. However, this civilization has long disappeared. It should have been destroyed."
Lu Yin's heart sank. Destroyed?
What a pity.
"Human civilization has experienced many wars. It is normal for there to be gaps in history. Even I don't know if the current human civilization is the most brilliant one in the past," Qinglian Yu said.
Lu Yin asked, "Hong 'er of the Seven Fairies is also dressed in red. She?"
Qinglian Yu laughed. "Hong 'er is not human. Back then, in order to hide Qixu's emotions, she had no choice but to merge the emotions that escaped into Hong' er's body. Hong 'er appears in human form only because this is human civilization."
Lu Yin remembered that Qiunan Hongye said that she did not know if her third sister was human. She only knew that she was not from the Jiuxiao Universe.
Not long after, Lu Yin sat at the back mountain of the Above Heaven Sect and looked at the sky in a daze.
He wanted to talk to Qinglian Yu about how to deal with the foreign creatures and the Red Coats under the Stars. He did not expect to talk about another possibility of the hive civilization.
He did not know if he should be happy or unlucky.
If there was really a powerful civilization behind the hive civilization, they would not be surprised.
Now, it was more important to plan a backup plan.
The current human civilization seemed peaceful, but it was at an extremely dangerous juncture.
It was unknown if the hive civilization and the Sky-carrying Race were all spying on them. Any mistake could lead to the extinction of their civilization.
"Invite Wang Wen."
The Second Nightking hurriedly went to find Wang Wen.
"Greetings, Master Lu." Wang Wen bowed.
Lu Yin was amused. "When did we become so polite? Sit."
Wang Wen smiled and sat down. "Today is different from the past. We still have to be polite."
Long Xi came over and made tea for them.
"Madam Xie."
Long Xi was stunned. Madam?
Lu Yin also looked at Wang Wen.
Wang Wen blinked. "Miss Xie."
Long Xi smiled and left.
Lu Yin picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Don't call me that."
Wang Wen was speechless. "I just shook my head. I didn't expect this to be so awkward. Sorry."
"By the way, Your Highness, why are you looking for me?"
"Your Highness, Your Highness." What a familiar name. Only Wang Wen would call him that in the current human civilization. Actually, he had changed the way he addressed Lu Yin when they first met, but now he called him that again.
Lu Yin swirled his teacup. "There are too many external threats in the human civilization. I want to hear your opinion …"
A moment later, Wang Wen looked troubled. He stared blankly at the tea swirling in his cup and did not say a word.
"Why? Don't you have anything to say?"
"Yes."
"Say it."
"If I say it, don't blame me."
"What can I blame you for?
You are not the enemy of human civilization. "
"Your Highness, please bring me along when you plan a backup plan. I don't want to die."
Lu Yin was speechless. "So discouraged."
