Qing He led Lu Yin to the top of the mountain as well. Not long after, they arrived at a dimly lit open area. Aside from Ol 'Five, there was also a huge Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes. Lu Yin could tell at a glance that this was Ol' Four.
That shameless Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad that Heaven Bearer hated to the bone.
Ol 'Four glanced sideways at Lu Yin and the Immortal Master, and his lips curled up.
Lu Yin only glanced at it for a moment before retracting his gaze and standing there silently.
"Actually, I don't need to come." The Immortal Master's voice rang out.
"Of course you have to come. Otherwise, I won't feel safe."
"I can't protect you here either. These two Eternal life forms are very strong."
Of course, Lu Yin knew.
Unless the Immortal Master had the same level of strength as the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad's ancestor, it would be impossible for the Immortal Master to protect Lu Yin here. However, Lu Yin did not need its protection.
All he had to do was fight for a split second. A split second was enough.
No matter how inferior the Immortal Master was to that Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad Patriarch, he could still fight for a split second. He was just a target.
If the Immortal Master had known that Lu Yin could teleport, he would have immediately guessed why Lu Yin had asked him to accompany him. Unfortunately, he did not know.
Eternal life forms had no freedom due to Karma Shackles, but similarly, when facing stronger enemies, Karma Shackles were also a form of protection, because the enemy would not be willing to bear more Karma Shackles.
Therefore, when a non-eternal lifeform killed an eternal lifeform, it was called a scoundrel.
Whoosh
Wind.
As the wind blew past, a giant Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yin, and it stared at him with its murky eyes.
Following its appearance, an indescribable baleful aura flashed past, causing the Immortal Master to be on high alert.
Even though the baleful aura only lasted for a moment.
But in that instant, the Immortal Master found it hard to breathe.
There was no need to even mention Lu Yin.
He had experienced this murderous aura before.
It was the baleful aura that hurt him when he checked the Star Toad with karma.
It was the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad's Old Ancestor.
How far is the human civilization from here?
Even with the Immortal Master's speed, it would take him more than twenty years to arrive. Even with such a long distance, he still suffered a backlash from karma. One could imagine the terrifying strength of this Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad Grand Ancestor.
That was something that the current Lu Yin could not even imagine.
With the appearance of the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad Grandmaster, the color of heaven and earth changed. A formless pressure enveloped the area, as if the stars were compressing. Heaven and earth were continuously connecting.
Under those murky eyes, Lu Yin felt as if all of his secrets had been seen through.
There was a loud crack as the Qinghe broke apart, waking Lu Yin up.
"Aiya, I'm sorry for causing you harm." The ancient voice came from the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad. It looked at the Immortal Master apologetically.
The Immortal Master said in a pleasant voice, "It's alright."
The Grandmaster of the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad looked at Qing He. "My name is Shan. Little fellows, what are your names?"
Little guy?
Lu Yin glanced at the Immortal Master. He was young, but the Immortal Master was not.
But it seemed that to this old monster, everyone was small.
"I'm Immortal."
Lu Yin bowed respectfully. "Junior Lu Yin."
Mountain smiled and looked at them. "One is from the human civilization, and the other is a strange creature.
Why are you two together? "
Lu Yin was surprised, "Senior, you know about the human civilization?"
Just now, he did introduce himself to Ol 'Five as a member of the human civilization.
However, judging from Shan's tone, it didn't seem like he knew about it from him.
That kind of feeling was definitely known beforehand.
"Haha, of course I know about it. The civilization that was once brilliant and had nine bases across the sky. Old fellows who have lived for some time know about it. Unfortunately, it has long withered," Mountain said.
Lu Yin did not expect the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad to know about the human civilization. He might be able to find other human civilizations through this old monster.
"Why are you two together?
That shouldn't be the case. "Mountain was curious.
Ol 'Four and Ol' Five also looked at them curiously.
If two different creatures were to communicate with each other, one side would definitely be far weaker than the other. However, the Immortal Master was extremely strong and would not be suppressed by the human civilization. On the other hand, the human civilization would not be suppressed by an Immortal Master. Otherwise, who knew if they would make use of them? No matter how one looked at it, it was strange.
Lu Yin said, "Due to some special reasons, I asked this Immortal Master to lead the way. Otherwise, with my strength, I don't know how long it would take for me to come here."
Mountain looked at Lu Yin. "How many Immortals are there in the human civilization?"
Lu Yin said without hesitation, "Five."
"Why are you here?
Are you worried that my Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad clan will harm you? "Mountain asked.
Lu Yin said respectfully, "I did consider this, but the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad clan respects integrity, so this concern is not big. The real reason is unknown."
"My human civilization has four universes to protect. Five Immortals are not enough to completely block the unknown."
Mountain understood. "I see. However, you are qualified to come. Scoundrels are much rarer than Immortals."
"Scoundrel?
Patriarch, he's a scoundrel? "Ol 'Five was surprised.
Ol 'Four looked at Lu Yin in surprise.
Lu Yin did not dare to look Ol 'Four in the eye, afraid that Ol' Four would realize that he was the one who had attacked.
Mountain smiled. "Scoundrels are more precious than Immortals. The fact that the human civilization is willing to let you come is enough to show their sincerity."
"Don't worry. As long as that little guy's blood relatives don't die in the hands of your human civilization, we won't do anything to you. Even if we start a war, we will let you go first."
Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief.
On the side, the Immortal Master said, "Then there's nothing else for me to do. I hope to leave first."
Mountain looked at the Immortal Master. "Sure."
Lu Yin hesitated for a moment and could only nod. If the Immortal Master continued to stay in this situation, it would make it seem like he did not trust Mountain. It would be detrimental to his future plans.
The Immortal Master left the mountain and even directly left the rainbow land.
After the Immortal Master left, Mountain looked at Lu Yin with turbid eyes. "Little guy, you are enemies, right?"
Lu Yin did not hide anything and told them about the situation with the hive civilization. Ol 'Four and Ol' Five were stunned.
Ol 'Five praised, "To be able to make the enemy cooperate so well, human, you are also very smart, just like me."
Ol 'Four sneered. "It's a little despicable and ungentlemanly."
Mountain scolded, "This is a human's method. If you could also have such methods, I wouldn't have to come forward."
"Ol 'Five is right. I am so smart, I will definitely understand. Human, let's talk later." Ol' Five smiled kindly at Lu Yin, as if he was looking at a confidant.
Ol 'Four grinned. "I still hope to be gentlemanly."
Mountain shook his head and looked at Lu Yin. "Human little guy, be careful of the Immortal just now. Its power is full of absorption and is very domineering. What you saw might not be the real one."
"Absorption?
Domineering? "
Lu Yin was puzzled. They actually did not know much about the Immortal Master. They had never even seen the Immortal Master's true body before. They would always see Qing He.
"Every living creature has their own characteristics. Some creatures eat meat, while others are vegetarians. The nature of the Immortal's power is destined to not coexist peacefully with any species. Be careful. I am only reminding you because you are taking care of Little Toad."
"Thank you, Senior."
"You came here on the toad token and sent Little Toad back. Little Toad also admires your human civilization very much, so everything that happened before is in the past. My Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad clan will no longer have any disputes with your human civilization. You can leave at any time," Mountain said.
Lu Yin bowed deeply. "Thank you, Senior, but I still have something to ask."
"What is it?"
"Unknown."
"What do you want to know?"
Lu Yin's expression was solemn. "I want to know everything about the unknown."
Mountain got Ol 'Four and Ol' Five to leave. Its huge body slowly shrank until it was the size of a palm. Then, it jumped onto Lu Yin's shoulder, causing Lu Yin to feel a chill. This feeling was not inferior to a steel knife hanging over his neck.
Who wouldn't panic when such an old monster was so close to them?
"Hehe, don't be afraid, little fellow. If the Patriarch wants to do anything to you, even if that Immortal is here, it will be useless."
"Let's go out and take a look."
Lu Yin suppressed his vigilance and walked out of the dark open space. He arrived outside the mountain peak and looked down at the land. It was very beautiful.
"What do you see?" Mountain asked.
Lu Yin said, "Many Seven Treasures Heavenly Toads live in the Rainbow World."
"The outside world doesn't have a high opinion of my Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad. How do you describe Three Slips?"
"Three Slips?"
"That eternal life of the Three-Colored Sky Carrying Race."
"It's called Three Slips?" Lu Yin was surprised.
"That's the name Ol 'Four gave it. The entire Three-Colored Sky Carrying Race is called Three Slips."
Lu Yin was speechless. It did seem like something Ol 'Four would do.
"Three, Three Slips said that the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad clan has a bad personality and is arrogant and conceited."
"Continue."
"That's all."
"No way, there should be more. You're welcome."
Lu Yin said, "There's really none.
..... Then what do you see now?
Arrogant and conceited?
Or have a bad personality? "
"Junior has seen prosperity, peace, and survival."
"No matter what creature it is, it has its own unique environment to survive in. The Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad is like that, and so are you humans. If you can do it, why break it?"
Lu Yin looked at the mountain on his shoulder. "Senior, you don't want to be enemies with the Unknowns, but the Unknowns don't plan on letting the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad clan off. Lan Meng lured the Three-Colored Sky Carrying Race to our human civilization with the goal of luring Ol 'Four over to deal with our human civilization."
"Ol 'Four won't attack you."
"The Unknowns won't give up either."
"Then I'll go look for them," Mountain suddenly said. Although he didn't have any aura, his words were the greatest aura.
Lu Yin stared at Mountain in a daze.
Mountain smiled at Lu Yin. "The Unknowns can use my Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad clan as long as they are sinister. However, they can't be forced. Otherwise, I'll go look for them. As long as I'm alive, the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad will be safe."
"But wouldn't it be better if you join forces with our human civilization to defeat the Unknowns?" Lu Yin asked. Mountain's thoughts were the same as Master Grass's.
Mountain said, "If the Unknowns are destroyed, what if another fishing civilization comes?"
"Have you ever thought that the Unknowns might also be some kind of barrier that helps you block the unseen disasters? If the Unknowns are gone, other disasters will descend. That disaster might also surpass the Unknowns. What can you do at that time?
Join forces with a stronger civilization?
But a stronger civilization will also have its own enemies. What will happen in the end? "
Mountain paused for a moment before exhaling. "No civilization is absolutely invincible, but there will definitely be a stronger civilization.
"The enemy of an ant is an ant, but if an ant becomes a giant beast, its enemy will be the giant beast. Ants have their own world, and giant beasts have their own world.
"One day, you will lose, and you will lose miserably because there will always be a civilization that you can't fight against waiting for you ahead."
