Forever Bearer sighed, "I don't know, just like their civilization. But to be able to suppress the Seven-Treasure Heavenly Toad, the unknown is terrifying. If I didn't know this, I wouldn't have cooperated with Lan Meng."
"If the Seven-Treasure Heavenly Toad was lured here by me, the fourth one must be on the way."
"The fourth one?" Lu Yin was confused.
Startled Lord Shangyu and Master Kudeng also looked at Forever Bearer curiously.
Forever Bearer's tone was heavy, "The fourth one of the Seven-Treasure Heavenly Toad. I don't know its name, but I know it calls itself the fourth one. It's a shameless toad."
"It has a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, but it calls itself the epitome of the Seven-Treasure Heavenly Toad's demeanor. It's ugly, disgusting, and cruel. If I had a choice, I would skin it and break its bones."
Forever Bearer's hatred for the fourth one was so deep that it was like using all the vicious words to describe the Seven-Treasure Heavenly Toad.
It seemed like most of his hatred for the Seven-Treasure Heavenly Toad originated from the fourth one.
"How is the fourth one?" Startled Lord Shangyu asked.
At this point, Forever Bearer's tone was full of helplessness and bitterness, "I can't beat it."
"Nonsense." Startled Lord Shangyu didn't hold back, "Compared to Lan Meng?"
Forever Bearer said, "I don't know, I've never seen Lan Meng fight with his full strength, nor the fourth one."
"You don't have the right to make them fight with their full strength, how sad." Startled Lord Shangyu was dissatisfied.
Heaven-Carrying Eternal Life didn't want to think about it either. If he could fight against Lan Meng and the others, he wouldn't have been trapped in the human civilization. However, it wasn't right to equate Ol 'Four with Lan Meng because Heaven-Carrying Eternal Life wasn't good at killing. Similarly, it hadn't been attacked at full strength by the Shock Gate Shangyu Yu Ling.
"How did you come to the human civilization?" Master Kudeng asked a key question.
This was also the question Lu Yin wanted to ask.
Forever Bearer said, "Lan Meng guided us and we didn't take any detours. It took us about seventeen years to reach here."
Seventeen years wasn't a long time for cultivators, but it depended on who was walking.
Forever Bearer wasn't fast, but it was still an Eternal being. Its speed wasn't any slower than the One Leaf Blue Lotus.
One Leaf Blue Lotus was as fast as an Eternal being, such as a grass master.
The Azure Lotus Guard was naturally faster, but Lu Yin didn't know by how much.
If an ordinary Eternal being walked for seventeen years in the correct direction, it would be equivalent to going from the Continent of the Nine Clouds to Tian Yuan 17 times. That was a very long distance.
If it was converted to the linear range of the Karmic Great Celestial Phenomenon, it would be around eight.
The Continent of the Nine Clouds had used the Night Pillar to destroy civilizations, such as the Sensual Universe, the Hidden Celestial Universe, and so on, because those universes had entered the Karma Great Celestial Phenomenon area. Outside of the Karma Great Celestial Phenomenon area, Uptala Yu and the others didn't care.
The distance between the Heaven Carrying Clan and the Continent of the Nine Clouds was about eight Karma Celestial Phenomena. That distance was extremely far. A strong cultivator who had crossed Ku Adversity would need a very long time to cross that distance.
"What about the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad clan?"
"Their position isn't fixed. When we came, the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad Race was about thirty years away from our Heaven Resisting Civilization. If they were here, your civilization might have twenty years to prepare. You guys are considered lucky. The Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad Race is in the opposite direction from your civilization. If they happen to be between our civilization and your civilization, then …"
"Then you won't be able to come at all," Alarmed Shangyu said coldly.
The Heaven Carrying Eternal thought about it and agreed. How could they come with a Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad in the middle?
"No, they can come." Master Kudeng looked at Alarmed Shangyu. "Door."
Alarmed Shangyu raised his brows. That's right, Unknowable still had a door. She had almost forgotten.
As long as Unknowable used the door to throw the Heaven Carrying Clan over and then told the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad the location, the toad would still be able to chase after them.
Lu Yin's heart sank. There was no point in saying such things now. Twenty years was a very short amount of time.
According to the Heaven Carrying Eternal's calculations, the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad was about nineteen Karma Celestial Phenomena away from the human civilization. If they didn't have a clear position at this distance, then it would be very difficult to meet them. However, if they had a clear position, then they would be able to find their way over.
The Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad was also not fixed. Even if Unknowable gave them the coordinates of the human civilization, they would still be able to find their way over. There was no need for the Heaven Carrying Clan to act as bait.
From the looks of it, the Heaven Carrying Clan's arrival was more of Lan Meng joining forces with the hive to scheme against the human civilization.
This was only the first time they had attacked. Using the Heaven Carrying Clan, the hive would attack the human civilization. Regardless of whether they succeeded or failed, they would still cause damage to the human civilization. In Lan Meng's estimation, they might even cause the death of the Eternals.
Then, when the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad arrived, the human civilization would naturally be annihilated.
From the beginning to the end, this was a piece of cake for Lan Meng.
He did not need to do much.
However, he did not expect that he would be able to deal with two Eternal-Stage Qing Immortals from the hive and free himself to deal with the Heaven Carrying Clan. This caused the situation to develop differently.
However, there was one thing that did not change. The Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad would definitely come.
Lu Yin frowned. They had won again and again, but had they really won?
Compared to before the Heaven Carrying Clan's arrival, there was not much difference.
Two Eternal-Stage Qing Immortals had died in exchange for one Heaven Carrying Eternal. However, the Immortal Master had also personally taken action, and Lan Meng had also attacked. The situation was about the same.
Right now, Lu Yin wanted to deal with Luo Chan the most.
Once Luo Chan was dealt with, the Immortal Master would no longer have the final say in the war.
However, whether or not there was a fishing civilization behind the hive was also the most unsettling thing.
Lu Yin's eyes flickered. The civilization behind the hive was the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad. The unknown, the dead universe. The emergence of fishing civilizations brought suffocating pressure to the human civilization. They were too passive.
If one came, the human civilization would be in despair. However, if a few came, it might not be the case.
If there was no other way, they could only take a gamble.
"That's right. Did you encounter any other civilizations on your way here from the Heaven Carrying Clan?" Lu Yin asked.
Heaven Carrying Eternal said, "Yes, there was one. It thought that it hid very well, but because it did not have eternal life, it was useless no matter how well it hid."
"Where was it?
What kind of civilization?
Was there a mother tree? "Lu Yin's eyes lit up.
Heaven Carrying Eternal said, "There was a mother tree. Why are you asking such a question?
Mother trees exist in most universes. As for that civilization, I don't know. I only know that it did not have eternal life. "
"Does Lan Meng know about the existence of that civilization?"
"I don't know about that. Some distances seem very short, but if you don't get close, you won't be able to see them at all. All civilizations try their best to hide and think of ways."
Lu Yin understood. No matter how short the distance between two universal civilizations was, it would still take several months or even years for an eternal life to travel.
Just think about it. How could an ordinary person see a place that would take several months or years to reach with the naked eye? Especially when that place was hidden, it would be even more impossible to see.
This was also why civilizations could hide.
If an Eternal Realm expert looked around, there would be no civilization that could hide.
Above the azure lotus, Lu Yin used the Karma Celestial Phenomenon to cover the Nine Firmaments, Tian Yuan, and Spiritualized. Only then could he see all three universes, but it would also take time. If not for the Karma Celestial Phenomenon, he would not be able to see anything at all.
"Mark out the location of that civilization," Lu Yin said.
He cared about the mother tree. The more mother trees there were, the more green dots there would be. The problem was that he had to destroy the mother tree to obtain the green dots.
If that was the case, it would be very difficult for him to take action. The mother tree was full of vitality, and it should not be destroyed for personal gain.
He had to think of another way.
…
The eight battleships accommodated an extremely large number of cultivators, and they were all elite cultivators from the two universes. Individually, they could not compare to the Ninth Heaven Universe, but the two universes combined had a considerable number of cultivators. Moreover, the Ninth Heaven Universe had experienced several wars with the hive civilization and had suffered many losses.
After a year, the cultivators from the Ninth Heaven Universe had accepted the arrival of the two universes' cultivators. They did not have any other thoughts about the cultivators from the Tian Yuan Universe and easily accepted them. After all, Lu Yin had made a name for himself in the Ninth Heaven Universe, and anyone who wanted to cause trouble would have to go through the Death Mound first. The top powerhouses of the Ninth Heaven Universe were all on good terms with Lu Yin.
Only the spiritualized cultivators were looked down upon by the cultivators from the Ninth Heaven Universe. There were no powerhouses in front of them, and Master Green Grass was also one of those who could not stand up to them. This made the spiritualized cultivators feel very aggrieved.
When Lu Yin and the others returned to the Ninth Heaven Universe, they saw that the arrival of the two universes' cultivators had changed the Ninth Heaven Universe.
These changes could not be seen from a macroscopic perspective, as the time had been too short. However, upon closer inspection, the cultivators from the Ninth Heaven Universe were especially enthusiastic about the cultivators from the Tian Yuan Universe. It was not an acceptance, but rather a desire to learn something.
Soon, Lu Yin understood what was going on with the others' explanations.
The top cultivators of the Tian Yuan Universe had made a name for themselves.
The Three Realms, Six Paths, Three Suns, Six Lords, and so on had all cultivated in the mirage domain, and their power had increased greatly. They were no longer in the same state as when the spiritualized cultivators had first entered the Tian Yuan Universe.
Ever since the cultivators from the Tian Yuan Universe had reached the Ninth Heaven Universe, the initial run-in had gradually developed into a large-scale competition.
In the first year, although the Ancient God and the others had not reached the peak of Ku Adversity, their power level was close to it.
In the entire Ninth Heaven Universe, it was almost impossible to defeat them at the same level. Only a powerhouse who had reached the peak of Ku Adversity could suppress them. However, this kind of suppression was completely dependent on one's cultivation level and accumulation over a long period of time. It could be considered an unfair victory.
Whether it was Ku Adversity, the primordial realm, the sequence of laws, the Progenitor realm, and so on, the cultivators from the Ninth Heaven Universe found that the cultivators from the Tian Yuan Universe walked a very unique path. They had developed many cultivation methods through astral sources. In addition, there were also micro-array weapons, universal armor, battlefield navigation systems, black energy sources, and so on. These innovations dazzled the cultivators from the Ninth Heaven Universe.
The Ninth Heaven Universe had lacked innovations outside of battle techniques for many years. Since the death of Mi Jin Shangyu, there had been almost no such innovations.
The arrival of the cultivators from the Tian Yuan Universe had opened up a new way of thinking.
The peak of Ku Adversity was a threshold. Although the Ancient God and the others were powerful, they still needed time to surpass the peak of Ku Adversity. However, there was one person who had suppressed the crowd. In just half a year, his name had spread throughout the Ninth Heaven Universe. Just like Lu Yin, he was known as the peak power below eternal life. He was Jiang Feng.
