Meng Yue and Lu Yin were classmates, and this had once been something that the Vastdearth Sect could brag about. But now, if Meng Yue did not even dare to go to the battlefield, then he would become a laughingstock.
He exhaled heavily, and it was as if he had aged ten years. "I'll go and die for you. Isn't that enough?"
Meng Yue stared blankly at Meng Tianlong. In his memory, his father had never spoken to him like this before.
"Even if you're struggling at death's door, even if you become a laughingstock, it's fine as long as you're alive." Meng Tianlong looked at Meng Yue with a complicated gaze.
Meng Yue clenched his fists. "I'm sorry, Father."
The same situation played out in the Outerverse. No one wanted their descendants to step onto a civilization battlefield, as it was a land of death. There were bugs everywhere, and any one of them could kill them.
Even Mu Nichang, the head of Evenground Palace, and Ke Yun, the head of the Moke Sword School, were no different from ants.
Even after the news spread to the Innerverse, the situation remained the same.
Wen Zizai stopped Wen Sansi, Wen Qian'er, and the others from boarding the ship. Even he did not want to board.
So what if they were Envoys?
Weren't they still ants when facing a foreign civilization?
The Beast Tamers Flowzone's Little Mountain God had gone straight to the parallel timeline. What a joke!
That was just courting death.
Some people fled, while others chose to fly like moths to a flame.
Li Zimo walked out of Sword Mountain and was surprised to see Liu Tianmu, Long Yun, Liu Shaoqiu, and Liu Tang.
"What, are you the only one who can go?" Long Yun teased.
Li Zimo looked at the group. "If we go, it'll be almost impossible for us to return alive."
Liu Tang shrugged. "When Master Lu led Wu Jiang into the spiritualized universe, he didn't expect to return alive either. Everyone, I'll die with no regrets if I'm with you."
"I'll die with no regrets," Liu Shaoqiu said. He had a cold personality, but that did not mean that he was cold-blooded.
Li Zimo smiled, which was a rare sight. "It's worth dying with one of the Ten Arbiters, Liu Tianmu, leading us."
Even though humanity's understanding of the universe had greatly increased, there were still legends about the Ten Arbiters.
The Ten Arbiters were the pinnacle geniuses of an era, and Lu Yin himself had been one of them.
. and Lu's not, as of today, their cultivation rapidly.
One day, they would return to history.
Liu Tianmu pushed up his glasses. "Don't mention the Ten Arbiters again. It's embarrassing."
"Haha, let's go."
In the distance, Liu Sanjian and the other experts of the older generation were watching. "Let's go. We can't let the youngsters win. We're old, and it's time for us to see the outside world."
In the Blazing Mist Flowzone, one sylvan dragon after another flew towards the Outerverse. This race had been subdued and had been reduced to mere mounts.
They were not willing to participate in the Civilization War, but they had no choice and were forced to.
On the Royal Frost Continent, the Humble Corps walked out. Progenitor Hui's seal had been broken, so there was no need for them to stay behind and guard this place. Under the Ice Empress' lead, they headed towards the Outerverse.
As usual, the Starsibyl Sect had not been implicated by Mister Zhu's matter.
Starsibyl wanted to go to the Outerverse, but Xuan Jiu did not budge.
"You're not going?"
"What?"
"To the Nine Firmaments Universe."
"Are you crazy, grandniece? You'll die if you go there. You're still young, don't be impulsive."
"I want to see the outside."
"Sigh, I'm old. That's right. I've lived my entire life in the Tianyuan Cosmos. It's time for me to look outside."
"Let's go then."
"No need. Just tell me when you come back. Please take some photos."
"Shameless."
"I'm your Grandpa Jiu …"
In the Neoverse, Qing Ping led the Interstellar Arbitration Office and headed towards the Outerverse. Behind him were Lei Nu, Shu Jing, and the others.
"Where's Shang Qing?"
"In the Outerverse."
"So soon?"
"No, he's been staying in a place called Earth."
"Oh, I remember now. Is it because of that Bai Xue?"
"Yes."
"Where's the chief of Boundary Mountain?
Why isn't he here? "
"He's been missing ever since the news spread."
"…"
Some of his old friends had retreated and hidden in parallel spacetimes, while others headed towards the Outerverse and headed towards the Nine Firmaments Universe.
It was the same for parallel spacetimes. First Meeting, Bodhi Saint, Culinary Sage, Peachwood, Void Five Tastes, Void Infinity, and so on. Too many cultivators had entered the Outerverse of the main spacetime and boarded the spiritualized universe's battleships. Many spiritualized cultivators disembarked as well. They could choose to stay in the Tianyuan Cosmos' parallel spacetime or return to the spiritualized universe.
This time, no one stopped them.
However, the civilization's battlefield was set in the Nine Firmaments Universe, which made many spiritualized cultivators nervous.
The scene of the battle with the Insectoid Nest Civilization was still fresh in their minds. It was not something that could be avoided just by stepping into the battlefield. It also depended on the battle of eternal life. If the humans lost, they would all die.
The feeling of losing control over life and death was too despairing.
As a result, many people disembarked.
Above Heaven, Grandmaster Grass had arrived, and Lu Yin had been waiting for him.
"You actually want to give up on the Tianyuan Cosmos?"
Lu Yin did not look at Grandmaster Grass as he calmly said, "If I don't give up, the situation will force me to."
Grandmaster Grass stared at Lu Yin. "You really want to bring a group of people and leave through the unknown door?"
"What else can I do?
Stay here and wait for death? "
"Is there a need for that?
I thought you would fight to the death and preserve your backbone. "
Lu Yin found it funny and looked at Grandmaster Grass. "Senior, are you naive or am I?
The prerequisite for a fight to the death is to be qualified to fight to the death with the other party. Now, do you think the human civilization is qualified? "
"Don't tell me you don't know that Lan Meng has attracted the Sky Bearing Race. Although you can't see it through the Karmic Great Celestial Phenomenon, you can communicate with the unknown. I'm sure you know why the Sky Bearing Race is here."
"The unknown, the Sky Bearing Race, the Star Toad Civilization, the Insectoid Nest Civilization, and an eternal life monster are all disgusting me. Do you think the human civilization has any hope?"
Grandmaster Grass shook his head. "Based on my understanding of you, you don't seem like someone who would give up easily."
"That depends on the time."
Lu Yin suddenly shouted and stared at Grandmaster Grass. "With a wavering traitor like you who can attack the humans at any time, why can't I leave?"
"Must I wait for the Nine Firmaments and Tian Yuan to be destroyed and leave you to spiritualize alone?"
"If only the unknown is your enemy, I can understand your choice. However, there are many foreign civilizations now. Do you think the other civilizations will let you go even if the unknown let you spiritualize go?"
Grandmaster Grass did not answer.
"Or did the unknown leave a path for spiritualize?
Let me guess, it's also that door, "Lu Yin said.
Grandmaster Grass's gaze was complicated.
"In the human civilization, several eternal lives still have a way out after passing through that door. If you are the only one who escapes with the spiritualized universe, will you have a way out?
Or do you think there are no enemies behind that door? "
Grandmaster Grass and Lu Yin looked at each other. "You don't want to escape. You want to participate in the Nine Firmaments' war and use your non-eternal life to create an advantage in the war, right?"
Lu Yin looked at Grandmaster Grass deeply. "Maybe."
"If you give up the Tian Yuan Universe, you will not be able to have your wishes fulfilled. You will not have an advantage in the war against the eternal lives."
"It's better than nothing. If the civilization is gone, how can the universe exist?" Lu Yin muttered.
Grandmaster Grass looked at Lu Yin. "Thank you for being willing to leave with the spiritualized people."
Lu Yin mocked, "Originally, I wanted to leave the spiritualized people behind and force you to stay here and protect them. However, spiritualized people are still humans. I can't be so ruthless. I'm not like Senior, who decisively gave up the human civilization of two universes. I admire you."
Grandmaster Grass turned and left. Before leaving, he said, "When you are truly faced with despair, you will know whether my choice was right or not. You have yet to see this universe clearly."
Lu Yin looked at Grandmaster Grass's departing figure. Still not see clearly?
How could he see clearly?
So many eternal lives had come. Would he be able to see clearly after they died?
Based on Grandmaster Grass's attitude, Lu Yin could try to guess. If Grandmaster Grass knew the situation behind the Gate of Techniques and thanked him for taking away a group of spiritualized universe people, it meant that the world behind the door might not be that dangerous. If he didn't know, he wouldn't thank him.
Was this a way to tell him that there was indeed a way out behind the door?
Lu Yin pondered.
Taking away a group of people and sending a group of people to a parallel universe was the limit of what he could do. Now, he had a headache. What should he do about the mirage?
He couldn't take it away. If Mister Mu came out of seclusion and allowed the river of time to flow, the mirage would move between several human universes without a problem.
But now, Mister Mu was in seclusion and fixing the river of time. As a result, the spiritualized people in the Nine Firmaments could not use the power of the river of time. His combat strength had decreased a little.
This was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that Mister Mu was in seclusion.
If something happened to the Tian Yuan Universe, what would happen to Mister Mu?
If Zhao Ran also stayed here, what would she do?
Lu Yin guided the river of time into the mirage and came to the shore. He looked at the broken boat in the river of time. "We have to go …"
He didn't hide anything from Zhao Ran.
Zhao Ran listened calmly.
"After we leave, seal the mirage and don't open it to anyone."
"Eternal Realm cultivators can enter the mirage directly. I can't stop them."
Zhao Ran looked at Lu Yin. "But you don't have to worry about me. I'm the ferryman of the river of time. Even if this universe is destroyed, I'll be fine."
Lu Yin said in a low voice, "I'll find a way to take you away."
Zhao Ran shook her head and looked at Lu Yin. "I don't want to leave. This is my only value. Although I'm Maiden's clone, I'm a little smarter than her."
"Although only a little."
Lu Yin found it funny, and Zhao Ran smiled as well. It was the same innocent smile that she had when she had made tea for him.
He looked at the bottom of the river again. Master, when will you come out of seclusion?
The road ahead was long, but this road had been paved for too long.
After leaving the mirage, Lu Yin went to the Astral Tree. He did not go to the Lu family, but instead went to the Mother Tree.
The giant Mother Tree was full of vitality. This place had once stopped the Eternals and become a barrier that protected the human race.
After the Eternals had been defeated, the limitless kinetic sourcebox array had only been patrolled by a small number of people.
The back of the Mother Tree was completely different from the front.
Lu Yin looked up at the Mother Tree. This towering tree supported the entire universe. How many Mother Trees were there in this space?
In the distant east, a rainbow formed a bridge. Countless creatures occupied the ground, and there was a sky above the sky.
Scenes of the past appeared in Lu Yin's mind, and he sighed.
Someone arrived behind him. It was Mu Zhu.
New.
