Luo Yan was helpless. "To help you, I've delayed it for too long. Don't think that there's still more than a year before the evacuation. In fact, everyone on the list has already reached the spiritualized universe. What's really wasting time is not evacuating them, as they can leave very soon. What we really need to do is to cover their tracks and prevent them from causing trouble."
"What about you?" Mobai asked.
Luo Yan nodded. "As you can see, I didn't go either."
Mobai's last bit of doubt about Luo Yan disappeared. If the human civilization was plotting against them, why wait?
She had already agreed to evacuate.
Luo Yan was definitely not someone who was plotting against her.
"I'm sorry."
"It's fine. I can evacuate the second batch. Are you sure you want to go this time?"
"Yes, I'll definitely go. Whenever."
Luo Yan nodded. "Wait for my notice, but it shouldn't be too soon. After all, we have to wait for the first batch of evacuees to settle down."
"I understand. Thank you."
In the following days, the only thing Mobai needed to do was to find out if any of the people had disappeared. She did manage to find out some. To outsiders, those people had reasonable reasons. Some were in seclusion, while others were training. In short, some had not appeared.
More than two years passed, and Lu Yin arrived at the spiritual universe.
The last time he was in the spiritual universe, he had comprehended the power of wishes. By combining wishes with the Truth Sutra, he could become one with the wishes of any universe and was no longer limited to the Tianyuan Universe. After that, he thought of using the entire spiritual universe as the limit and oppressing himself to see if he could transform.
He had an idea, but he didn't have the time to try it out. Now, he was here to give it a try.
"Things in the Opposite" was not a battle technique limited to a certain level. It was more like a thought, a way to use the human body.
Lu Yin admired Ku Zu for coming up with such a battle technique. He was the biggest beneficiary.
Even in a battle against an Eternal Realm expert, "Things in the Opposite" played a huge role.
If he could transform things in the Opposite, Lu Yin didn't know what would happen. He couldn't deduce it because the target of this battle technique would definitely be an Eternal Realm expert, and he himself had yet to reach the Eternal Realm.
Let's use the entire universe as the limit to feel it.
Lu Yin had Bitter Battle withdraw from his spiritual universe. He then sat down cross-legged and joined his heart as one. In the next instant, Bitter Battle stared at Lu Yin's enormous phantom in front of him in shock. Had he swallowed the entire spiritual universe?
The last time he had seen this scene, the shock had not subsided until now, and now he was seeing it again.
He did not know how Lu Yin had done it, but he felt that it was even more shocking than when his master had broken through to the Eternal Realm.
Lu Yin's physical body continued to wither as his heart and soul became one. The abyss of his spiritual universe continued to spread and expand until it seemed to encompass the entire spiritual universe. It formed an oppressive force that used the limits of the universe as it moved towards Lu Yin.
To living beings, the distance of a square inch was the outer realm, and the universe was the inner realm. A single universe was the limit of a living being's instinctive cognition.
It was just like how Lu Yin had comprehended the power of time through the withered tree.
Anything that reached its limit would have a reverse force, and at that moment, Lu Yin experienced the reverse force of the universe.
When things reach an extreme, they will move in the opposite direction. It did not necessarily only affect oneself. It was an attempt, a realm, and a possibility to break the inherent understanding.
Lu Yin was searching for such a possibility, allowing him to transform his usage of things in the opposite direction when pushed to the extreme.
Time passed day by day, and the abyss of the spiritual universe expanded to the entire spiritual universe, causing a time vortex to appear. It was difficult to balance the time inside and outside the spiritual universe. The clearest manifestation of this was the River of Time in the Mirage Domain.
Zhao Ran looked at the River of Time and did not interfere.
The River of Time flowed in the human civilization. At that moment, only those Immortal Realm powerhouses and Lu Yin could disrupt the flow of time in the human civilization.
No matter who it was, she would not interfere.
The flow of time in the outside world was completely different from that in the spiritual universe.
Lu Yin was constantly under the pressure of the entire spiritual universe, constantly experiencing the limits of the universe. He wanted to find a force that was completely opposite to the limits. His physical body was constantly recovering, drying, and recovering until it reached the limit. Yes, this was also a kind of limit. If he wanted to try this limit, he had to break the destructive force that his physical body could withstand. If he was not careful, he could easily kill himself.
Lu Yin was not sure if he could comprehend the reverse of the physical body's limits, so he struck out.
Ku Zhan stared blankly at the force that came from the spiritual universe. It divided the square inch he could see into two. The destructive force of that force terrified him. He felt like he was facing an Immortal Realm powerhouse.
Was this the power of a cultivator who had crossed the Bitter Adversity?
They were in the same realm, but he could not even take a single blow from him.
He did not even know if Master Ku Zhan, who had broken through to the Immortal Realm, could withstand that blow. The shock of that blow was no less than that of Lu Yin's desire to unite with the spiritual universe.
After that, Ku Zhan kept seeing that kind of attack and silently distanced himself. He did not want to be affected. Who knew if Lu Yin's next attack would change direction? If he died here, no one would know.
Time continued to pass. Three years had passed in the outside world, and Lu Yin did not know how long he had been in the spiritual universe. He could not remember how many extreme attacks he had launched, but he had become numb to them. The pressure of the spiritual universe's limits grew stronger and stronger. Sometimes, he could not even tell whether he was himself or the spiritual universe.
One moment, he was himself, enduring the pressure of the spiritual universe. Another moment, he was the spiritual universe, trying to suppress himself.
It was the same feeling as when he comprehended the murals in the Kaehai.
One moment, he was the Azure Lotus Ruler, and the other, he was that consciousness. He had deceived himself and finally comprehended the karmic wall.
What about now?
It could not be considered deception. His consciousness was awake, but his body was instinctive. The universe was also passive.
He tried to think of himself as the spiritual universe, like a colossus lying in the starry sky. He saw Ku Zhan, who was as insignificant as an ant, and he also saw the distance. At that moment, his perception of the area changed.
He felt like he could move.
Yes, the universe could move. He wanted to move, but he could not.
It was as if he was missing a pair of legs.
Then how did the other universes move?
Lu Yin was at a loss from the perspective of the spiritual universe. He was thinking about a consciousness that did not belong to him. Time continued to pass.
Another two years passed in the outside world.
Within the spiritual universe, Lu Yin suddenly opened his eyes. The union of wishes had ended, and he calmly looked ahead. The abyss had also returned to normal.
In the outside world, Ku Zhan heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally recovered.
Lu Yin raised his hand to take a look. How should he put it? He had comprehended a new way to use his power that was very powerful, but it wasn't a metamorphosis. Metamorphosis was much more difficult than one would imagine. He had merely opened up a new perspective from the perspective of the universe and used the methods of the universe to display the power of the universe. He could now unleash a power that was at the limit of the universe.
He raised his right hand and gently swiped across the sky, causing ripples that caused the surrounding space to collapse. At the same time, dark ripples appeared at his fingertips. He tapped out, and the ripples transformed into a dark beam that pierced through the void and disappeared.
In the distance, Ku Zhan stared blankly at the beam of light that flashed past his head.
"How do you feel?"
Lu Yin appeared in front of Ku Zhan and looked at him.
"What?"
Lu Yin asked, "How did you feel about that attack?"
Ku Zhan replied, "It's far from the attacks you've unleashed over the past few years."
Lu Yin smiled. "It's not the power. It's just a feeling. A pure feeling."
Ku Zhan thought about it and then said in a daze, "It doesn't feel like it came from you."
"Then what does it feel like?"
"It feels like. How should I put it? It's very familiar, but I can't find the source. I don't know either."
"The mind universe."
Ku Zhan's eyes lit up. "Right, the mind universe. It's more like the power of the mind universe itself. That familiar feeling is exactly the same." He looked at Lu Yin in astonishment. "But how could the mind universe attack?"
Lu Yin smiled and did not answer. Even if he told Ku Zhan, the latter would not understand.
That attack just now had collapsed the surrounding space as the price, or rather, it was an attack that had reached its limit. It was very simple, and it was not a threat to Ku Zhan. But what about an entire spacetime or even an entire universe?
Lu Yin had never tried that kind of power before, and he did not know who had tried it first.
This attack had reached the limit of the universe, and the form of the attack was similar to a ripple of light. In that case, he would call it a Wish Wave!
It was not just an attack that would cause the opposite effect when things reached their limit. Only when one's will and the universe's will were one could an attack that reached the limit of the universe, and the Wish Wave was the most suitable.
Humans had to try countless times to create a single coincidental metamorphosis.
Lu Yin himself had only been able to transform during his last cultivation because he had learned the True Sutra.
Humans' greatest weapon was creation. The creation of diversity would eventually lead to a qualitative change.
Lu Yin did not know how long he had spent in the spiritual universe, but five years had passed in the outside world.
Including the time it took for him to return from the spiritual universe, it was about the same time as the second batch of people that Luo Yan had told him to evacuate.
Lu Yin immediately headed towards the Nine Firmaments Universe.
…
In the spiritual universe, the various Law Domains lined up and walked into the distance. When they saw the line move, many people heaved sighs of relief.
"They're finally moving. I never thought that I would have to wait in line for more than a year."
"There's no other way. It's reasonable for the outside world to make us disappear, so this is the only way. Didn't you see that many people were taken away?"
"Those people's traces can't be erased. We can only bring them back to the Nine Firmaments Universe to prevent suspicion."
"Now you know how good it is to be a loose cultivator. Those loose cultivators don't have such concerns and can go wherever they want."
"But loose cultivators aren't so easily selected."
"That's true …"
Mobai followed the line forward. The line was very long, and there was no end in sight because there was only one line. This was the second batch of a million people to evacuate, and there would be a third, fourth, fifth, and so on. Time would gradually shorten, and it would only end when all the elite cultivators had been sent away.
How many people could be sent away in the end depended on luck.
Mobai could not find Luo Yan, as Luo Yan's identity was useless here. It was already quite amazing that he had been able to add one more spot.
