The snow-white bird shouted, "I'm a worm."
"Worm grass."
"Worms don't have grass."
"Shut up."
The snow-white bird lowered its head helplessly. At first, it was still struggling when Little Eighteen grabbed it, but now it was powerless. This damn toad was stubborn and had a nasty mouth. However, its combat power was terrifying. It would only be unlucky if it tried to escape.
Little Eighteen was a very particular toad. It had a nasty personality like the other toads in the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad. Its actions could be despicable, but it was also honest.
It promised Lu Yin to find the One-Line Sky first, so it wouldn't delay at all.
Although the romance in its bones made it want to change direction and go to an unknown place, it had to complete this mission first.
A few years later, Little Eighteen rubbed its eyes. What was in front?
There was a mass of green, cloud-like things floating quietly in front of it. It was particularly prominent in this dark and deep universe.
Although it was small, it was eye-catching.
The snow-white bird looked over. "Eh?
The One-Line Sky? "
Little Eighteen felt it too.
The One-Line Sky was the kind of existence that made you feel like it was the One-Line Sky. It was like a creature instinctively searching for a chance of survival.
The One-Line Sky was the chance of survival for countless weak civilizations.
"Is this the One-Line Sky you went to?" Little Eighteen asked.
The snow-white bird rolled its eyes. "Of course not. It's far from there."
"Then what's going on?"
"What does it have to do with me?
I didn't build it. "
Little Eighteen stared at the One-Line Sky in front of it. After thinking for a while, it took a detour.
The snow-white bird was puzzled. "But it's a bit similar to the One-Line Sky I went to. That was a water surface. This is like a cloud or fog. It's green and looks like jade at first glance."
Little Eighteen took a detour. There was no time to delay.
The sooner he completed the mission, the sooner he could be free and pursue his romance.
However, when it circled around the jade-green sliver of sky, its figure disappeared. It directly disappeared into the starry sky as if it had never appeared. Vaguely, the jade-green sliver of sky blocked out the starry sky and covered everything. From afar, it seemed that this deep space had been bitten.
…
Decades passed. Lu Yin kept searching from the Engulfing Civilization to the Human Civilization. He expanded his search, but he couldn't find a single sphere.
He didn't know if it was good news or bad news.
Either there were no spheres, or these spheres were dormant, waiting for the right opportunity to awaken in the future. The instructions from the technological civilization, or rather, the settings.
From his point of view, the latter was the most likely possibility. This was because the technological civilization had been delaying their attack on the Devourer's civilization, and then attacking at a moment when they were least expecting it.
Wars between civilizations were not child's play. Since technological civilizations had taken action, they would have arranged everything well.
Even though Lu Yin had not found the sphere, he had discovered quite a few other civilizations in the area. However, none of them had Eternal Life and were generally weak in terms of combat power. There was even a civilization that was technologically advanced, but it could not even compare to the Limitless Empire. These civilizations were far from being able to unify their own universe.
Only by unifying their own universe could they be called a universal civilization.
None of these civilizations could do it.
However, in one of the civilizations, Lu Yin had unintentionally found a piece of black armor. It was one of the Hundred Seals of Mahakala, and it had excited him greatly. When he returned and showed it to his boss, he was disappointed when he found out that it was a record of the Startoad Starseizing Hand.
However, this matter also gave him hope, the hope of finding the armor plate.
Some of these pieces of armor had been transported far away by the spatial turbulence, while others should still be in the vicinity.
After that, he had added another item to his search, which was this piece of black armor.
The difficulty of finding the black armor plate was similar to finding the sphere. No, it was even more difficult.
The sphere should be in outer space, but if the armor plate had fallen into the hands of a lifeform, it could be hidden away, such as a cosmic ring.
The armor plate that he had found before had been a stroke of luck, and it had been auctioned off by that civilization. He had wanted to learn more about that civilization, but that civilization's strongest lifeform had been present at the auction. When he had seen the armor plate, he had immediately disappeared with it.
The disappearance of the armor plate would probably be attributed to that civilization's strongest lifeform.
Otherwise, even if he knew that the armor plate was in that civilization, it would be very difficult to find it once it was hidden away in a cosmic ring.
One day, more than ten years later, Lu Yin landed in a deathly still universe. He looked around and saw that spatial cracks had appeared like raindrops, and the rumbling of thunder made him feel uneasy.
This was a civilization that had experienced a reboot of the universe.
This civilization was thirty years away from the human civilization's Eternal Life, and it was in a parallel direction from the human civilization to the Devourer's civilization.
He had entered this universe because he was familiar with it.
That's right, it was familiar. Extremely familiar.
At first, Lu Yin had thought that this familiarity came from his bloodline, and the first thing he thought of was the Astral Red Coats that had been abandoned by the Azure Lotus Protector. He had thought that the Astral Red Coats civilization had been destroyed in this universe. After all, they were both human civilizations, so they were familiar with each other.
But after entering, he realized that this was not the case.
This familiarity came from his consciousness.
More accurately, it came from Yue Ya's consciousness.
Yue Ya was born from the consciousness of an Eternal Life, and Lu Yin's consciousness contained the remnant consciousness of a certain Eternal Life. It was this remnant that had allowed him to see the universe of death, and now, this familiarity came from this remnant as well.
Lu Yin's consciousness spread out, wanting to strengthen this sense of familiarity.
He even spread out his consciousness from his Mind Manor, wanting to become one with this universe.
His gaze suddenly trembled, and various scenes suddenly appeared in his mind.
He saw the black plaza filled with white bones and the sky filled with dark clouds. He saw an incomparably large finger bone descend and pierce a hole in the sky.
This was the scene that he had seen through Yue Ya's consciousness when he had seen the last page of the Cheng Clan's secret scroll. Now, he was seeing it again.
Suddenly, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and Lu Yin looked up along the finger bone. He saw an incomparably large white bone towering over him. The black plaza was like a toy that was being held in the palm of one of its skeletal hands. It was difficult to describe Lu Yin's feelings at that moment. Fear and horror. No, these were not Lu Yin's feelings, but rather the consciousness's own feelings.
When the owner of this consciousness saw this scene, it was afraid and terrified. Escape. This was its only thought at that time, and it wanted to escape as far as possible.
The incomparably large white bone suddenly stared over, its hollow eyes like vortexes that could suck in everything. The scene suddenly shattered, and Lu Yin's eyes widened. Unknowingly, his back was drenched in sweat.
This was the scene of the Eternal Life that had given birth to Yue Ya's consciousness encountering the universe of death. Had the owner of that consciousness died at that time?
It was not impossible. If it had died, then it would have encountered the universe of death close to the human civilization. Otherwise, Yue Ya's consciousness would not have appeared in the Ninth Firmament Universe, and that life's corpse would not have fallen into the Eternals' Zone of Disaster.
Lu Yin stared at the sky in a daze as he recalled the scene that the consciousness had seen.
That incomparably large white bone giant that seemed to be able to overlook everything. Why was he in human form?
That consciousness had seen that the skeletons standing in the black plaza were all in human form.
Why?
There was also Zhu, who had been unlocked from the sourcebox, and he was also in human form.
There were countless civilizations in the universe, and there were countless lifeforms. Why were there humanoid skeletons?
Could it be that the universe of death was also one of the Nine Bases Civilizations?
Impossible. If it was, then Qinglian Yu would have known about it.
Furthermore, Zhu had done everything he could to contact the universe of death in order to destroy the human civilization.
Lu Yin pondered this, but he could not figure it out. That universe of death was very powerful, terrifyingly powerful.
