This little human was not simple. The Unknowns knew about his past, and he could really analyze some things from just a few words.
"Right, where's Lan Meng?
He hasn't said anything. Eight Colors, did he choose a mission?
Is he afraid? "
"This is Lan Meng's mission, and it has nothing to do with you. Lu Yin, don't influence others."
"Others?
Are they all humans? "
Eight Colors did not say anything else. He had to use different language to talk to different creatures, and he could not talk about other species to humans. It was a bit unpleasant, but Lu Yin could really follow up with anything.
Lan Meng's voice was low and slow. "Lu Yin, I understand you, and so do the Unknowns. You said so much just to get some clues out of everyone. Stop dreaming. The clues you get from the Unknowns are not what you're really looking for."
Lu Yin asked, "What do you mean?"
Lan Meng sneered. "I'll tell you straight. I don't understand the Unknowns, and they have never interacted with each other. That's why only Eight Colors knows whether the one lying in the coffin next to you is an ordinary Eternal being or an extreme powerhouse."
"And the Unknowns have a default hierarchy of missions."
"Me, Qi Xu, and Qie can only accept missions with Three Stars, or Four Stars at most. We can't touch anything higher than that, and that's when we were at our peak. This level should not be a threat to your human civilization, and the one you want to get information out of is an existence qualified to accept a Five Star mission."
"I don't know who it is, but it might be listening to what I'm saying right now. The more you want to get information out of it, the less likely it is to appear. If you have the ability, then think of a way to get information out of it. Once it does, something bad might happen."
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. Lan Meng had deliberately said these things in front of the Unknowns to make his goal clear. More importantly, he had said these things to the mysterious Unknowns, trying to provoke hostility from them.
Lu Yin had been too impatient.
He had also underestimated Lan Meng. Any creature that could reach the Eternal level was not simple.
"I do want to get some information out of it, but not about the Unknowns. What's behind you, Lan Meng?
Who's watching Ancestor Shan? "
Lu Yin asked, changing the topic. "I don't mind telling everyone that Ancestor Shan died because he was targeted by something. Everyone should be aware of Ancestor Shan's strength, and since he was able to end his life with his own death, the creature that targeted him must be extremely powerful."
"If this creature is unknowable, then pretend I didn't say anything. But if it isn't, then there's something wrong with you, Lan Meng. What are you trying to do by colluding with external enemies?"
Lan Meng rebuked angrily, "You're speaking nonsense. What do you mean by keeping an eye on the old ancestor? I don't know anything about that."
Lu Yin sneered, "You dare to ambush Old Ancestor Shan without knowing?
What a joke. Old Ancestor Shan shattered your coffin with a single slap. He is much stronger than you. How could you dare to attack him? You have a powerful life behind you. What is this life?
Is it a civilization that you can make use of?
Don't give me such a ridiculous excuse. "
Lan Meng yelled, "Don't make wild guesses. I don't know anything. The only reason I attacked Ancestor Shan was because he was at the end of his tether. The Karmic Binding had been completed and he couldn't fight anymore. Plus, there was the existence of the Black Apocalypse civilization."
"The Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad race is clearly a civilization that you can make use of. Why did you attack Ancestor Shan?
You asked me to hand over the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad race and not interfere, but you attacked a civilization that you can make use of. How can this be justified? "
"So what?
The Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad race can't be controlled at all. Ancestor Shan even found traces of them. He is a great enemy of the unknown, and I want to kill him. "
"Sophistry."
"You."
"Haha, little human, have you forgotten that this is the unknown? Every unknown has a civilization that can be used. This civilization can be a biological race or a powerful life form. As long as it can be used, it's fine. As for what this civilization thinks of the unknown, is it important?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "Haha, old man, you're the one behind Lan Meng, right? I was wondering why it was so coincidental that none of you are here. Even Da Mao isn't here, but you're here. You're singing the same tune as Lan Meng.
Eight colors, isn't this cheating? "
"Little guy, don't bite whoever you catch. I'm innocent."
Lu Yin was about to speak when the old man continued, "However, if you give me some blood, I can tell you who is targeting the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad Mountain's Patriarch. Haha."
Lu Yin frowned. "You know?"
"Of course."
"What do you want my blood for?"
"That's none of your business. Are you giving it to me or not?"
Lu Yin shouted, "Eight colors, haha, this old guy wants to harm me. Are you going to do something about it?"
The old man was speechless.
Lu Yin shouted a few more times, but no one responded to him, including Eight Colors.
He did not give up and would shout a few times every once in a while to see who would respond, especially Da Mao and Lan Meng. Eight Colors was speechless. "Lu Yin, Lan Meng has already left."
Lu Yin felt that it was a pity. "He must have a guilty conscience. Eight Colors, you have to investigate him."
"Haha, old man, are you here?"
"He left too," Eight Colors said.
Lu Yin asked, "Then who else is here?"
"I'll follow you."
"Eight Colors, I don't want to criticize you, but you usually lack discipline. Look, no one comes. What if I want to assign a task?"
"I have my ways."
"Well, I originally wanted to discuss the methods of ruling with you, but seeing that you're not interested, I'll ask you something. How can I put away the hanging coffin?
It's too tiring to carry it all the way. I think Lan Meng and the others can take it out at any time. "
Eight Colors said, "You should hand over Qi Xu's hanging coffin."
"If I hand it over, won't I lose track of it?"
"Worshipping the Divine Tree is a necessary step to join the unknown. Lu Yin, what are you worried about?"
Lu Yin did not answer, and he did not need to. No one was stupid, and Eight Colors knew that Lu Yin was worried that he would not be able to leave once he came.
However, it did not give Lu Yin a reason to be at ease. It only said, "Since you've joined the unknown, you must trust the unknown. In the history of the unknown, there has never been a precedent of death. You can hear this, and so can others who have joined the unknown."
"I know, but I don't have time," Lu Yin said.
Eight Colors was calm. "You don't have much time to control Qi Xu's hanging coffin. Once a new person joins, you must hand over the hanging coffin. If you don't worship the Divine Tree then, you will lose the opportunity to go to the unknown."
"The unknown does not require you to do anything, but at least have the ability to go back and forth with the unknown. Otherwise, it will be regarded as giving up the unknown. Lu Yin, do you know what this means?"
"Haha, Eight Colors, if you say this, it will make this little guy think of ways to prevent new people from joining. This is not a good thing."
Lu Yin was surprised. "Haha, old man, you haven't left?"
Haha, the old man did not speak.
Lu Yin shouted, "Haha, old man, don't think of me as such a dark person. I can't wait to welcome any newcomers. The unknown is great, and I'm proud of it. Oh, by the way, are there any newcomers joining us?"
"Take a guess," the old man replied.
Eight Colors' voice sounded. "If you want to put away the hanging coffin, just wrap it with a thread that matches the coffin."
Lu Yin understood. "Thank you, Eight Colors. You are much better than the old man, Da Mao, and Lan Meng. It's just that the hanging coffin is useless. Two of them have been broken, and Lan Meng's was also broken. It has to pay for it."
Eight Colors was helpless. "This was an accident, Lan Meng. The unknown apologizes to you. The hanging coffin is a life-saving means of the unknown, but it did not really protect you. Please forgive me."
Lan Meng's voice sounded. "Ancestor Shan's strength is not something a hanging coffin can stop. I understand."
"Please bring your hanging coffin to the unknown as soon as possible. We will give you another one."
"Okay."
"Huh?
There are many hanging coffins? "Lu Yin was surprised and did not care that Eight Colors had concealed Lan Meng's presence.
"Haha, little guy, there are more hanging coffins than you think."
"Really? How many more?"
"A lot more."
"You know?"
"Of course."
"Eight Colors, haha, the old man should not know. Why do I feel like he knows more than you?"
"Little guy, how can you take the opportunity to sow discord?"
"You have to give me a chance."
Haha, the old man did not speak.
Lu Yin was about to disgust Lan Meng again when Eight Colors' voice sounded. "Lu Yin, do you want to know how many hanging coffins there are?"
Lu Yin raised an eyebrow. "Yes."
"I can show you after you worship the divine tree."
Lan Meng was dissatisfied. "Eight Colors, this is against the rules. Even I have not seen them."
Eight Colors slowly said, "This is the preferential treatment given to Lu Yin by the Master of Balance."
Lu Yin was shocked. The Master of Balance?
He had heard these words when he had merged with Ur's memories. The door to the Jiuxiao Universe had come from the Master of Balance, not from Qi Xu.
It was very strange. Qi Xu's mission was to destroy human civilization, so she should have been the one to place the door, but it was the Master of Balance who had done it.
Then he thought of Qi Xu's death. The red sword had been taken away by the unknown, and the hanging coffin had not been used. It had been left to Ur. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed that she had been abandoned.
If he had really been abandoned by that mysterious unknown, then the mysterious unknown hidden in the Tian Yuan Universe might very well be the Unknown Envoy of Balance.
This also echoed the preferential treatment given to him by the Master of Balance.
Otherwise, why would the Master of Balance treat him so well when they did not even know each other?
And was this really preferential treatment?
Eight Colors' answer made Lan Meng fall silent. It was obvious that he was afraid of the Master of Balance.
Lu Yin was curious. "What Master of Balance?
Eight Colors, is this a position? "
Eight Colors replied, "The Master of Balance is a mission. You can become the Master of Balance by accepting the mission."
"Who is the Master of Balance?"
"No comment."
"Do other creatures not know about the unknown?"
"No comment."
"Why is the Master of Balance treating me so well?"
"I don't know."
"Lan Meng, why aren't you saying anything?
It's obviously unfair to you. The Master of Balance seems to look down on you. "
"Haha, kid, don't provoke him. He won't have any ideas about the Master of Balance, and he wouldn't dare," the old man said.
"Why wouldn't he dare?
Is he very powerful?
Can you control its life and death? "
"Haha, take a guess."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "Haha, old man, that Master of Balance is you."
"Haha, take a guess."
Lu Yin was infuriated. This old bastard always played this trick at crucial moments. What kind of creature was he? He really wanted to pull him out to take a look.
