Whichever part of the biosphere was located at would be the part. If they broke through this part, they would be in the same part.
What awaited them was the crushing of the biological level.
Even if they defeated the unknown, what about outside the unknown?
Was there a more powerful civilization?
The unknown gave the human civilization room to fight back. If a more terrifying civilization appeared, the human civilization might be directly destroyed, just like the Nine Ramparts Across the Sky that Ancestor Shan had seen. That was the peak of the human civilization, and it was also gone.
This was the law of the universe.
This,
Only then would one know their own limits.
Lu Yin walked towards the karma celestial phenomenon, thinking about Ancestor Shan's words.
He was not wrong, Master Grass was not wrong, and Ancestor Shan was not wrong either. They all existed, and their understanding of survival and the universe depended on which path the human civilization would take.
With his temperament, he would naturally take the path of the fishing civilization, step by step, and destroy any forces that were enemies of the human civilization.
But if the end of this path was destruction, what should he do?
He could not refute Ancestor Shan's words.
Entering the karma celestial phenomenon and confirming that the Immortal Master was not watching him, Lu Yin teleported back to the Tianyuan Universe and brought Xue Ta Yu with him.
He teleported back to the Jiu Xiao Universe, along with Jingmen Shangyu and Master Kudeng.
They appeared one by one.
Lu Yin told them what had happened this time, and everyone's expression was heavy.
Qinglian Shangyu said, "Senior Shan's understanding of the distance of the square inch is deeper than ours.
Our human civilization is constantly getting stronger.
The retreat of the Immortal Master and the fear of the Seven-treasure Heavenly Toad clan are proof, but in the eyes of Senior Shan, is it the road of destruction? "
Xue Ta Yu frowned, "Do you have to be so pessimistic?
Then how did the fishing civilization come about?
Could it be that those fishing civilizations will eventually be destroyed?
Could it be that we will not become stronger? "
Master Kudeng sighed, "We can't see the end of those civilizations."
Jingmen Shangyu looked up, "Don't look at the distance of the square inch, just look at our land. If a species is strong enough to threaten us, what will their end be?
And there is still the distance of the square inch outside of us. For those species, the distance of the square inch is the road to destruction, because there will always be a civilization that can destroy them. "
Qinglian Shangyu's expression was solemn, "Lu Yin, what do you think?"
Lu Yin had a complicated look in his eyes. "I don't know. Our human civilization has faced too many enemies. The dead universe once passed us by. If the dead universe reappears at this moment, will it let us go?"
Everyone looked at each other. That's right, the reason why the Death Universe gave up on the human civilization back then was because the human civilization had used the destruction of the Mother Tree to confuse the Death Universe. At the same time, the Azure Lotus Imperial Guard attracted the attention of the Death Universe from afar.
For the Dead Universe,
A civilization that had paid the price of the Mother Tree's death was not worth destroying even if it still existed.
It was even worse than an Eternal Life.
However, it was different now. With the current strength of the human civilization, would the Dead Universe give up?
They could either be wary of each other, and the dead universes would also be worried that they would suffer great losses if they fought against the human civilization, or they could destroy the human civilization at all costs. These were the only two paths, and they could not be ignored because the human civilization did not have the right to be ignored.
That was the most dangerous thing.
When a civilization was not qualified to be ignored by other civilizations, it would bring about disaster.
Blood Tower Imperial smiled bitterly. "The most awkward thing is that we can't be ignored by other civilizations, but we can't suppress them either."
Lord Green Lotus looked at Ye Hai calmly. His gaze was out of focus. No one knew what he was thinking.
Lu Yin looked at Lord Green Lotus. Had Lord Green Lotus really not thought about what Senior Mountain had said?
Lord Green Lotus had lived for a long time. In terms of understanding, he was not much worse than Senior Mountain. After all, humans were better at thinking.
"Senior, have you ever planned for the path of the Ninth Heaven Universe?" Lu Yin asked.
Lord Green Lotus looked at Lu Yin. "Hide."
"Just hide?"
"I've never thought of the second path. Just hide," Lord Green Lotus said with certainty.
Lu Yin understood. Lord Green Lotus did not want to think about anything else. He just wanted to hide the human civilization well. Why did he have to think so far ahead for the future?
However, he had to think about it now because the human civilization had been exposed.
He did not know that the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad, the Insect Nest civilization, and more civilizations would know about the existence of the human civilization in the future. The path of hiding had failed.
Since it had failed, he would learn from the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad race.
Lu Yin's gaze swept across everyone. "Using aggression as a sword and hiding as a shield. This is the path that our human civilization must take because we have been exposed."
"Using our own strength as a sword and surrounding enemies as a shield. This is our other path because we have no other choice."
Everyone looked at Lu Yin with bright eyes.
Lord Green Lotus smiled. "You've seen through it. One is already exposed, and the other is that we have no other choice. This has determined the path that our human civilization should take. We don't need to be as arrogant as the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad, nor do we need to hide like we used to. The unknown is the best shield. If we can block the unknown, the unknown will become our barrier."
Lord Blood Tower nodded. "I didn't expect that one day our old enemies would become our barrier. However, what if the unknown attacks us with all their might?"
Lu Yin looked up. "Then we'll die together. We still have another path."
"Using the fearlessness of death as a sword and using mutual destruction as a shield."
"Whoever wants to destroy us, we'll drag them down with us."
"Our human civilization is surrounded by powerful enemies. Apart from the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad and the Insect Nest civilization, there's also the Death Universe. At most, we'll expose our coordinates to the Death Universe and attract them."
"There's also a springboard civilization," Lord Green Lotus interjected.
Lord Blood Tower exclaimed, "Whoever finds trouble with us will be unlucky."
Lord Green Lotus smiled. "Of the three paths, there's bound to be one that we have to walk down. No matter what, we should focus on increasing our strength. If we have one or two more Eternals, we won't be afraid of anyone."
The current situation was very clear. The Insect Nest civilization had retreated, the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad was no longer an enemy, and the only enemy was the unknown. Lan Meng had been severely injured, and regardless of whether the unknown sent other experts, the human civilization would be able to deal with them. The only problem was that mysterious unknown hidden in the Tian Yuan Universe.
As long as that unknown did not appear, the human civilization would feel uneasy.
Fortunately, they had the ability to teleport. What they needed to do now was to increase the strength of the human civilization while also finding a new universe that could continue their civilization and pass down their legacy.
Jiang Feng, Mister Mu, and the Primogenitor were all people who could break through to Eternity. What the human civilization lacked right now was time.
They had to take things one step at a time. They did not want to become a fishing civilization or break through the Square Inch Distance ecosystem, but they still needed to have the strength to protect themselves in the current situation.
One word: stability. One word: waiting.
In the past, they had been powerless and faced danger at every step. Now, they could afford to wait.
"By the way, Lord Green Lotus, can we go to that farsighted civilization?" Lu Yin asked.
Everyone looked at Lord Green Lotus.
Lord Green Lotus said, "You can go. Wait. When the time is right, I will take you there."
Lu Yin nodded. "Okay."
They did not ask further. If Lord Green Lotus wanted to say something, he would naturally say it. This matter was likely related to the origin of Qingyun.
The human civilization, which had once been plagued by internal and external troubles, now had no other threats except for a mysterious unknown. There was no need for the human civilization to go to war, so it was quiet for a while.
The path that the human civilization would take would not be so dazzling. It would rise in stability and waiting.
Lu Yin returned to the Tian Yuan Universe from the Ninth Heaven Universe, and the entire Tian Yuan Universe returned to its former prosperity. However, ever since they learned about the Square Inch Distance, everyone had been suppressing a sigh of relief. They were not as carefree as before.
Just like that, a hundred years passed.
To cultivators, a hundred years was a short time, but to Lu Yin, it was very long. Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, if he did not include the mirage domain and the die's four pips, it had only been a little more than five hundred years.
During these hundred years, he had been cultivating. Occasionally, he would go to the other end of the Gate of Arts with Lord Green Lotus to find a suitable universe for humans to live in. They searched for decades, but they did not find anything. If they wanted to search further, it would be easier to encounter a powerful civilization, and who knew how long it would take.
Although the human civilization had temporarily stabilized, no one knew where the next unstable factor would be.
Perhaps it was unknown. Perhaps the Immortal Master had sold the coordinates of the human civilization. Perhaps the dead universe would descend again.
They did not dare to go too far.
Apart from looking for a way out, Lu Yin had also been cultivating. However, at his current level, he could no longer increase his cultivation in a short period of time. He had to take it step by step.
It was not just him. Patriarch Lu Yuan and the others were the same.
Back when they were apprenticed to the Primogenitor, their cultivation in the early stages of the Three Realms Six Paths increased very quickly. When they reached the Progenitor realm, it slowed down. Under the premise that the Primogenitor did not let them break through to the Primogenitor realm, they only increased a little after a long time.
During this time, Lu Yin had also chatted with Lord Green Lotus. Lord Green Lotus had also said that if he cultivated for a hundred years, then the first ten years would be the fastest. The later ninety years would be extremely difficult. The more talented a person was, the more difficult it was. No matter how great their talent was, they needed time to accumulate.
Lu Yin had now stepped into the stage of accumulating time.
Whether it was the mental cultivation to break through to the Immortal Realm or the cultivation of karma, the power of will, and other forces, it could not be improved in a short period of time. He could only settle down and take it slow.
In the mind universe, Bitter Battle looked at the two figures in shock. Was this the battle of Immortals?
It was suffocating.
In the distance, the two figures crossed each other constantly, causing earth-shaking collisions.
Every time they collided, the mind universe would be distorted, forcing Bitter Battle to leave the universe.
Bang!
Bang!
A huge explosion tore through the void, followed by a terrifying abyss. It was as if another abyss had appeared in the mind universe and pressed down.
Lu Yin looked at the abyss coming, and there was also an abyss under his feet.
One came from Master Bitter Lamp, and the other came from the mind universe itself.
The two abyss enveloped him, one above and one below. He closed his eyes and let the abyss crush him.
Looking from the outside, the entire universe was distorted. Bitter Battle was afraid that the mind universe would be rebooted.
But in reality, Lu Yin and Master Bitter Lamp did not really fight. At least, they did not use the Qi of Life or the Immortal Substance.
