Lu Yin was already very satisfied. After all, the power of the Twenty-Five Abyss Realm surpassed the Nineteen Abyss Realm of Wonder Gate Shangyu's fusion with Mi Jin Shangyu's cultivation. This meant that Lu Yin's current strength was enough to fight against Wonder Gate Shangyu at that time.
In other words, he had the confidence to fight against Qing Xian in human form and Qing Xian in water droplet form even if he didn't unite with the universe.
Scoundrels could fight against eternal life with non-eternal life, but he was a little too much of a scoundrel.
If he fought with Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad at this moment, he wouldn't even need to move. He could just stand there and let it hit him.
Lu Yin's gaze fell on Master Qingcao.
Suddenly, he took a step forward and raised his hand to press down.
The aura of life circulated, his body withered, and infinite power merged. The Heaven Sealing Sequence Particles surged out, bringing with them terrifying pressure.
Master Qingcao didn't expect Lu Yin to suddenly attack him. The grass in front of him spread, but it turned into powder under Lu Yin's palm. His palm kept approaching.
Wonder Gate Shangyu's eyes lit up. Lu Yin gave him a feeling that he was much stronger than before. There was an unshakable pressure.
The grass was constantly crushed.
Master Qingcao retreated step by step, the bamboo basket in front of him — the bamboo fence.
Covered by the aura of life, the bamboo basket scattered and turned into a rope that was thrown at Lu Yin. Lu Yin grabbed the bamboo fence and threw it out with force.
Master Qingcao almost couldn't hold the bamboo fence.
He took a few steps back again.
At this moment,
Lu Yin's palm stopped.
He was less than a meter away from Master Qingcao, which was quite close.
Master Qingcao held the bamboo fence and didn't move. He watched Lu Yin retract his palm. "What do you mean?"
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes, and the withered surface of his body recovered. "Nothing, I just want to ask senior to spar."
Master Qingcao smiled bitterly. "I'm no match for you, Master Lu. Back then, you could block a blow from the Immortal Master, but I couldn't. Why test me?"
Is that so?
Lu Yin looked at Master Qingcao. For some reason, he felt that this old guy was hiding something, but he couldn't see it.
He had asked Qinglian Shangyu and the others, but they couldn't see what Master Qingcao was hiding.
Master Qingcao didn't have the ability to hide in front of Qinglian Shangyu.
But if Master Qingcao was just an ordinary eternal life, why did he decisively choose not to know?
Why did he not know why he found him?
What the old monster, the Seven-Treasures Heavenly Toad, had said and made a choice that was very similar to the Grass Grandmaster. Such a choice would only appear when one reached a certain level of understanding of the Square Inch Distance. The Grass Grandmaster gave people the feeling that his thoughts did not match his strength.
This was why Lu Yin had suddenly made a move to test the waters, but the results had left him disappointed.
The Grass Master could not give him any pressure at all, not even the slightest feeling.
Either he was hiding his strength too deeply, or he really had that kind of strength.
"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Master Lu.
Now, it's time for you to give me an answer. "The Grass Grandmaster stared at Lu Yin. He didn't care about his probing just now; he just wanted an answer.
Jingmen Shangyu frowned. This answer was difficult to give.
On one hand, it was the hatred of the past and the unyielding spirit of mankind. On the other hand, it was the responsibility of the civilization and the people who were still alive.
They didn't want to let go of the unknown, but they couldn't defeat the unknown.
Everything came from strength.
Lu Yin looked at the Grass Grandmaster calmly, "Tell the unknown behind you to come find me."
Master Qingcao said in a low voice, "Impossible."
Lu Yin asked, "What's the point of hiding in the Tian Yuan Universe?
I don't know what the unknown's purpose is, but there's nothing in the current human civilization that can be schemed against. It's time for them to appear. "
The Grass Grandmaster shook his head. "I've said it's impossible. Master Lu, join the unknown and protect the human civilization. This is what you should do now."
Lu Yin's tone turned cold. "I've said it. Tell the unknown to come find me."
The Grass Grandmaster looked at Lu Yin deeply. "If Master Lu can't decide, let the entire human civilization decide."
Lu Yin raised his eyebrows. "What do you want to do?"
The Grass Grandmaster said, "Throw this choice to everyone and see what they want Master Lu to decide."
"How dare you!" Jingmen Shangyu shouted.
Lu Yin's face also darkened.
This was a despicable move. If this choice was told to everyone, Lu Yin would have to choose to join the unknown because most people didn't want to die. They would rather live than participate in a civilization war, especially one that was almost certain to be lost.
If Lu Yin still chose not to join, all the losses in the following civilization war would be on his head. He would have to bear the pressure of the entire human civilization and endure the abuse of countless people.
The Grass Grandmaster was helpless. "If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to do this either, but there's no other way. In order to protect the spiritualized universe, I even fell out with Jiuxiao and cooperated with the unknown to kill Mi Jin Shangyu. I admit this."
Jingmen Shangyu clenched his fists and wanted to stab the Grass Grandmaster with his spear.
"We've paid such a huge price and are about to succeed. No one can stop us. Master Lu, you also want to protect the Tian Yuan Universe, don't you?
Don't talk to me about past hatred or the will of the human race. I don't care. I'm different from you. As long as the human civilization survives, everything else is fake. "
At this point, Master Qing Cao became even more agitated. "I've experienced the darkest era of the spiritualized universe. The cultivators of the Jiuxiao Universe had absolute control over the spiritualized universe and treated human lives like grass. Compared to the darkness of that era, what is the unknown hatred?"
"I'll become a sinner of the civilization one day, but I still have to do what needs to be done."
"Master Lu, you have no choice."
Jingmen Shangyu's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"
The Grass Grandmaster laughed. "Well, I'll use my own death in exchange for Master Lu joining the unknown. Is that okay?"
Jingmen Shangyu was stunned. His strong murderous intent suddenly disappeared. This old man was sincere.
The corners of Lu Yin's mouth curled up and he smiled. His smile made the Grass Grandmaster panic. How could he still smile at a time like this?
Jingmen Shangyu looked at Lu Yin in confusion.
Lu Yin laughed. "Senior, you can't beat me in terms of combat power. Are you planning to use tricks with me now?
Do you think you can beat me in this aspect? "
The Grass Grandmaster stared at Lu Yin in a daze. Many things that Lu Yin had done flashed through his mind, and he had an uneasy premonition.
Lu Yin was relaxed with his hands behind his back. "I'll go back to Jiu Xiao now, and then announce some news, any news. For example, the unknown used you, Grass Grandmaster, to force me to commit suicide in exchange for the safety of the human civilization. For example, the death universe came again and forced Qinglian Shangyu to join. If he didn't join, he would destroy the human civilization. For example, the Seven-treasure Heavenly Toad Clan forced Jingmen Shangyu to join. If he didn't join, he would destroy the human civilization, and so on."
"With so much news released, do you think that using the unknown to force me to join in exchange for the human civilization is shocking among all these news?"
The Grass Grandmaster stared at Lu Yin blankly. He finally thought of using this to force Lu Yin, but with a few words from Lu Yin, it completely collapsed.
Compared to the unknown to force Qinglian Shangyu and Jingmen Shangyu, it was on a completely different level from forcing Lu Yin. People were more willing to believe that the unknown forced Qinglian Shangyu and Jingmen Shangyu because they were eternal life.
A few news releases, the news he wanted to release was simply a joke. Who would believe it?
Most people didn't even know what the unknown was.
Jingmen Shangyu glanced at Lu Yin. Even she didn't think of doing this. It was not that she didn't think of it, but since she broke through to the Eternal Realm, she didn't consider these schemes. In this regard, Lu Yin was too smart.
Lu Yin had countless ways to disintegrate the coercion of the Grass Grandmaster. It was ridiculous that he actually played tricks with him.
The Grass Grandmaster was helpless and didn't know what to say.
He had tried his best.
"Master Lu, please give the human civilization a chance, a chance to develop, for the sake of the continuation of the human civilization."
Lu Yin's smile disappeared. "I admire the spirit of the senior who is willing to sacrifice himself in exchange for the safety of the human civilization, but now I can't give you an answer. Let the unknown come to me."
The Grass Grandmaster wanted to say something, but Lu Yin appeared beside Jingmen Shangyu, and then disappeared with her.
The Grass Grandmaster looked at the empty spiritual universe and sighed deeply.
He really did his best. Fortunately, Lu Yin didn't explicitly refuse.
Rationally, Lu Yin couldn't refuse this proposal after all, because the human civilization needed him to do so.
On the other side, Lu Yin returned to Jiuxiao with Jingmen Shangyu. "Senior, I'm going to the active universe to get that material. Please pass the Grass Grandmaster's words to Qinglian Shangyu and the others."
Jingmen Shangyu nodded. "Go."
Lu Yin disappeared instantly and reappeared beside the Gate of Arts. He stepped out and crossed the Gate of Arts, arriving at another starry sky. He looked up and saw Master Kudeng.
Lu Yin bade farewell to Master Bitter Lamp and teleported towards the active universe.
In Jiuxiao Universe, Jingmen Shangyu came to Yehai and found Qinglian Shangyu. He told Qinglian Shangyu the choice given by the Grass Grandmaster.
Qinglian Shangyu didn't expect the unknown to take a fancy to Lu Yin and let him join as a non-Eternal being.
"What did Lu Yin say?"
"He didn't agree or refuse. He wants to take this opportunity to find the hidden unknown."
Qinglian Shangyu looked at Yehai with a complicated expression.
It was indeed a difficult choice. He couldn't let go of both sides, especially when Lu Yin was carrying the hatred of his master, Mister Mu.
Even if Jiuxiao Universe let go of their hatred for the unknown, Tianyuan Universe wouldn't be so easy.
They couldn't force Lu Yin.
Moreover, joining the unknown was just the beginning. What would he do next?
The unknown would definitely ask Lu Yin to eradicate civilizations for them, just like Qi Xu and Lan Meng. How would Lu Yin survive in the unknown?
Was his personality suitable to destroy civilizations that had nothing to do with him?
It wasn't as simple as a choice.
"Senior, what do you think Lu Yin will choose?" Jingmen Shangyu asked.
Qinglian Shangyu shook his head. "I don't know."
"What if the unknown asks you to choose?" Jingmen Shangyu asked again.
Qinglian Shangyu's eyes flickered as he looked at Yehai, speechless for a long time.
…
In the active universe, Lu Yin descended and entered the sea, his body drying up.
The next moment, a majestic vitality entered his body. Compared to before, his withering time had increased, but he still reached his limit. However, this limit was much longer than before.
Lu Yin released the power of the Extreme Will Withstand Limit and attacked the starry sky while approaching the material.
Finally, he arrived in front of the material.
