Red Hero did not care about the Rou Universe, as it was not important. More importantly, why had the Unknowable Mission's reward not been told to him?
It was a pity that the portal to the Rou Universe had been discovered and destroyed by the creature from the Rou Universe, so he could not see it directly.
Otherwise, he would not have asked Lu Yin.
If he wanted to verify it now, he could go to Zhitrack and ask for another portal. However, if the Rou Universe had truly been destroyed, then the Unknowable Mission would not give him a reward despite knowing about it. Something was wrong here.
Could it be that the creature from the Rou Universe had only disappeared and was not dead?
…
On the other side, Lu Yin used teleportation to find the second set of coordinates.
It was the same as the first set of coordinates.
He was very cautious, very cautious.
The first set of coordinates.
Red Hero had left the Rou Universe for him, and he did not know what the second set of coordinates was.
If not for his teleportation, Lu Yin would not have come one by one. Of course, the most important thing was that he could not take the initiative against Red Hero.
Red Hero was too strong, and he could not see the end of it. He also did not have any attachments, and the only ones who could not see him were Rang Yu and Ji He.
He also wanted to understand the Unknowable Mission through Da Mao, so the initiative was completely in someone else's hands.
However, nothing was absolute in this world.
The initiative could change.
He would take it slow, as he had experienced this many times before.
The second set of coordinates.
It was still empty, and there was nothing there.
What the hell? The first set of coordinates was like this, and the second set of coordinates was the same. Was it still a dead universe?
Lu Yin checked, but there was no deathly still energy. He continued to search, and it took him half a year to confirm that there was no deathly still energy. There were also no signs that this universe had been rebooted. Either there was nothing there in the first place, or it had been so long since the universe had been rebooted that there were no signs of it being rebooted.
The Tian Yuan Universe had been rebooted, and the human civilization had only appeared after that. All traces of it before that had been erased, and nothing could be seen.
The next set of coordinates.
Lu Yin returned to the Red Shirt civilization below the Astral Plane. These coordinates were all set with the Red Shirt civilization as the center, so he could only set off from there.
He teleported again and again and looked into the distance. This time, Lu Yin saw the same unbelievable scene: the Mother Tree — a forest.
There was only one Mother Tree in each universe.
This was common sense, as some universes did not have Mother Trees.
However, what Lu Yin saw was a forest of the Mother Tree.
He rubbed his eyes. It must be an illusion. How could a mother tree become a forest?
However, in the distance, beyond the 20-year speed of the Eternal Life Realm, there was indeed a forest of mother trees. It was an exaggeration to say that it was a forest, but there were more than ten mother trees. The main reason was that the mother trees were so big that they could support a part of the universe. When these more than ten mother trees were connected together, they were naturally seen as a forest. Moreover, it was a forest that spanned across a square inch.
It was equivalent to more than ten universes connected. This was extremely exaggerated. Its range far exceeded that of the Tian Yuan Universe, the Jiu Xiao Universe, and so on.
Where did so many mother trees come from?
The moment he saw the mother trees, Lu Yin confirmed that he had found Da Mao. Da Mao's dish was made from the mother trees.
Lu Yin took a deep breath. He had found the third set of coordinates, which wasn't the worst case scenario.
He teleported closer and appeared in the crown of a huge mother tree. He gazed into the distance. Where was Da Mao?
The mother forest was full of life, and there were all kinds of creatures.
Lu Yin looked at the giant crawling creatures that ran past him. Above him, birds flew about, and from time to time, strange beasts would appear to chase after the birds. No matter how he looked at it, this place was peaceful.
Lu Yin was able to scan every nook and cranny of the mother forest with his Mirroring Technique, but he couldn't find Da Mao.
There weren't any humans either.
Only these creatures could bring life to the mother trees.
However, these creatures weren't very strong, and the most powerful ones were only Progenitors. None of them had even comprehended the laws of the sequence.
Lu Yin wasn't in a hurry, and he simply waited. This was definitely where Da Mao was.
Days passed, and soon, more than a year had passed. The heavens trembled, and the birds cried out in unison as they soared into the sky. On the tree trunks, groups of creatures were running about in panic.
Lu Yin looked into the distance. Da Mao had arrived.
Da Mao's figure rapidly expanded, and he turned into a giant that was as big as the mother trees.
He reached out and grabbed a mother tree. All of the creatures on the tree fell down like raindrops, but Da Mao tossed them aside as if he was shaking off dust.
Da Mao then raised his hand and slammed down with a palm, chopping the mother tree in half. He then chopped it into dozens of pieces, tied it up, and carried it on his back. He then walked towards the door.
Lu Yin watched the entire process. Was this … a woodcutter?
Da Mao really knew how to be self-sufficient.
Just as Da Mao was about to cross the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around to stare in Lu Yin's direction. His aura was clearly boiling, and his furious voice resounded through the heavens. "You again!" He then grabbed the mother tree that had been chopped into dozens of pieces and threw it at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin took a step forward and soared into the heavens. He faced the dozens of Mother Trees that were hurtling towards him, but he calmly raised a hand. There was a loud bang as the void exploded, and a terrifying force swept out horizontally, transforming into a gale that bent the remaining Mother Trees.
Da Mao roared and raised his arm to chop down.
Lu Yin grabbed the mother tree with one hand and absorbed the green specks of light. He pointed at the void with the other and released his strongest power.
The power rippled through the void, and Da Mao's arm came down and tore apart the power ripples. He then ruthlessly pressed down on Lu Yin, as if he was splitting apart a wave.
Lu Yin felt the suffocating pressure, and his lips curled up. "Red Hero is here."
Da Mao paused and roared, "Where is he?"
Lu Yin mocked, "I told you that you were afraid of him, but you didn't believe me. Compared to Red Hero, Da Mao, you're still lacking."
"But you can't be blamed. After all, you're only in line with one law of the universe."
Da Mao's arm suddenly dropped. "You're courting death."
Lu Yin teleported away, and another mother tree was cut down from above. Da Mao's strength was a little frightening. Although he might not be able to suppress Lu Yin, Da Mao's strength was not necessarily his forte.
"It's just a visit. Look at how angry you are. Fine, if you're unhappy, I'll leave." Lu Yin teleported away.
Da Mao roared in anger and opened a door to rush in.
Far away, Lu Yin lay down in a hanging coffin. Come on.
Da Mao's curses shook the divine tree. Throughout the history of the unknown, no one had cursed so harshly.
"This Lu Yin has gone too far. He's been looking for you time and time again. Although he hasn't made a move, he's forcing you to make a move. Eight Colors, you should take care of this." An unfamiliar voice sounded. Lu Yin had heard it before, and it did not sound friendly.
Er Mao, it was Er Mao.
Eight Colors sounded helpless. "Green, Lu Yin is looking for you again?"
Da Mao roared, "Red Hero told him."
Clear spoke up, "Green, are you sure Red Hero knows where you are?
How can he find you so accurately?
Maybe it's a misunderstanding. "
Lu Yin was speechless. Da Mao hated hearing the word "misunderstanding" the most.
"Misunderstanding my ass. That traitor betrayed his own civilization, and his actions are despicable. Who knows when he started targeting me? Fine, I told you last time that every time Lu Yin looks for me, I'll expose him. You didn't believe me, did you?"
"Lu Yin, I know you're here. You're deliberately looking for me so that I'll expose the others. Fine, as you wish. Listen, Lan Meng lives in the Bluesky Realm. That's his civilization. Look in every direction. When you see a blue sky, that's the Bluesky Realm, and Lan Meng is there."
"Green, you're going too far." Lan Meng was furious. He had not expected Da Mao to expose him.
The unfamiliar voice was low. "Green, you're breaking an unknown rule."
Da Mao sneered. "What rule? Eight Colors, tell me, am I breaking the rules?
You're the ones who didn't hide it well enough. What, only Red Hero is allowed to betray me, but I can't betray you? "
"Eight Colors, if you say that I'm breaking the rules, I'll shut up immediately."
Eight Colors did not move. Although this behavior was disgusting, it did not break the rules.
At least, until now, none of the unknowns had attacked each other.
Lan Meng's mind was still in a daze. He did not come to the Bluesky Realm often, especially after being injured by Patriarch Shan. He had been in seclusion to recover.
He had come to the Bluesky Realm to take a look and learn more about the human civilization, but he had not expected to hear that he had been exposed.
What did this have to do with him?
He had not done anything.
Clear spoke up. "Lu Yin, you're here, right? Come out and clear up the misunderstanding. We're all unknowns, and even if we can't be friends, we shouldn't be enemies."
Lu Yin did not speak. He did not care about anything else. As long as Eight Colors did not stop him, he would keep an eye on Da Mao.
Red Hero could figure out Da Mao's situation, but Da Mao could also figure out the others. Lan Meng was just a minor character, and Lu Yin wanted to know more about the other unknowns.
Clear was one of them. After all, he had participated in the war that had destroyed the Ninefold Civilization, so he was an enemy.
"Green, how do you know about the Bluesky Realm?" Lan Meng asked. He had also hidden his information, not wanting to be discovered.
Da Mao sneered. "What do you think the unknowns are?
The unknowns are the most unfair part of the Core, but also the fairest part of it. "
"As long as you achieve eternal life, you can join the unknowns, regardless of whether you're in agreement with one or three universal laws. Don't think that you're on the same level as everyone else just because you join the unknowns. You're still far from that level."
"Haha, there are twelve unknowns. Some of them change frequently, and some of them never change," the old man said.
Lan Meng fell silent.
Lu Yin looked at the Bluesky Realm. The unknowns were indeed fair. At least here, those who were in agreement with one or three universal laws could converse and even curse at each other. With the unknowns' restrictions, no one would look for trouble, and they might not even know each other's identities.
However, this was also the most unfair place. The unknowns would not help anyone, and no one would stand up for you.
"If you want to resolve this, it's best to warn Red Hero and let Lu Yin find me again. I can't say for sure who will be next. Although I haven't lived as long as some of you old fellows, I know quite a bit. You can try." Da Mao left after saying that.
Lu Yin was in no hurry to leave, as he would not be able to find Da Mao even if he left.
Clear spoke up. "Lu Yin, come out. We know you're listening."
The old man chuckled. "You've completely taken advantage of Da Mao, little fellow."
"Da Mao is too impulsive."
"Everyone knows that he's being used. He knows it himself, but what can he do?
The unknowns are not allowed to attack each other. "
"The Eight Colors should appear."
The Eight Colors' voice rang out. "The unknowns do not interfere with their members' actions."
"Haha, rules are great, and I understand that. However, the unknowns have their own rules, and we have our own rules as well. Eight Colors, if Green dares to reveal anything about me, I'll leave the unknowns."
The old man's voice was calm, and he even seemed to be smiling. "Of course, the prerequisite is that he understands me."
