The old man said, "I know about this, but I won't tell you."
"I don't know either."
"Let's talk about it after we worship the divine tree. Kid, it's meaningless for you to keep guarding against the unknown.
Unless you recreate Nine Bases, it doesn't matter if the unknown kills you or not. What's the difference between you appearing here and appearing in the unknown? "
Lu Yin said, "There's a country of mud here, but there's no trace."
"Haha, young man,
Be more energetic,
Be less scheming,
When you reach my age, you'll regret not being impulsive back then. Eternal life doesn't mean you won't grow old. "
Lu Yin stopped talking.
Lan Meng ended the communication and was also silent.
The unknown was afraid of humans, but they allowed Lu Yin to grow. In Lan Meng's opinion, this was very unwise. Since they were destined to be enemies, they should be destroyed.
But in the unknown, rules were more important than anything.
Another few months passed. Above the stars,
The paper bridge was built. It came.
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes,
Ni Beiluo had specially gathered the eight elders.
They would either do their best to avoid him or kill him.
He decided not to participate in the old man's battlefield. Did this old man really think that he cared so much about touching the river of time?
Of course..,
He really cared..,
But it was not as important as his life.
He was not going anywhere in this war.
The paper bridge disappeared, and a creature of the country of mud appeared in the distance.
Lu Yin used the mirroring technique to look, and his pupils constricted. Human?
The creature of the country of mud in the distance was a mud doll, and the mud doll was attached to the head of a middle-aged human man as if it had swallowed the middle-aged man.
Lu Yin suddenly looked at Lan Meng. "There are humans on this battlefield?"
Lan Meng was confused. "I don't know."
Lu Yin frowned and stared into the distance. It was indeed a human. It was not fake. The unknown had also lured human civilization into this battlefield.
Where was the human civilization?
It could not be the three universes or the Red Coats under the Stars. These two civilizations were in the protection period. Then, it was another human civilization that he did not know about.
This was Ni Beiluo's method to deal with him. He deliberately used this human to lure him.
"Contact the old man."
Lan Meng immediately contacted him.
"Human?"
The old man was surprised. "Oh, it's really possible. The unknown knows about more than one human civilization. I don't know why it hasn't been destroyed.
But it's normal for it to be lured to participate in the war. "
"Even though Ninth Base was once glorious and prosperous,
But now, the remnants of the human civilization are no longer a threat. In the eyes of the unknown, they are the same as other civilizations that can be lured into the battlefield. Of course, I'm talking about the weak remnants of the human civilization. The human civilization that requires a five-star mission reward or even higher is not included in this list. "
Lu Yin asked, "Is this the human civilization that can be learned after completing a two-star mission?"
"I think so. Why? Do you want to fight?
Oh right, I almost forgot. Humans are very complicated creatures. When they are heartless, they can betray everything. When they have feelings, they can be fearless of death. This is Ni Beiluo's test for you. He is trying to determine if you care about your own kind. "
"If I care, I'll be falling into its trap. The human civilization will definitely be controlled by it."
"Not bad."
"What if I don't care?"
"Hehe, that human civilization will be collected just like the other civilizations collected by the creatures of the Mudwater Kingdom. Of course, there will be no pain in death, but if you care, unless you have the confidence to save them, what awaits them will be torture worse than death."
The old man gloated. "Value can give you a perfect life, but it can also give you a life of despair."
Under the starry sky, the clay doll leisurely attached itself to the middle-aged man's head. The middle-aged man walked with difficulty like a puppet in extreme pain.
Suddenly, time stagnated and gray flowed. Lu Yin instantly appeared in front of the middle-aged man and pointed at the clay doll.
The clay doll saw it and wanted to fight back, but it found that it could not move. The purple eye power had trapped it. All of this happened in an instant. The next moment, Lu Yin's finger pierced through the clay doll and pulled it off the middle-aged man's body. He threw it into the God Catalog. Triple Firmament Sword Intent — Hidden Sword.
The sword flashed wildly, and the clay doll could not fight back and was severely injured.
As an Eternal Realm, even if it was forcefully pushed to the Eternal Realm, it should have been able to fight back against Lu Yin. However, it could not fight back.
Teleportation, time stagnation, and Lu Yin's rich experience in fighting the eight elders of the Mudwater Kingdom on the battlefield. If he encountered an opponent at the same level as Mud Ghost, Lu Yin was confident that he would not be able to fight back.
The absolute methods that the Mudwater Kingdom was so proud of were worthless in front of him.
The middle-aged man's body collapsed, and Lu Yin supported him. They landed on a planet that was overgrown with vegetation and filled with all sorts of auras. Strange creatures made noises, but when Lu Yin landed on the planet, they all calmed down due to fear.
"No, don't kill it." The middle-aged man opened his hazy eyes, blood vessels sticking to his eyelids as he spoke with difficulty.
Lu Yin said, "I didn't kill it. It has its uses."
Cough, cough, cough …
Lu Yin healed the middle-aged man, but he found that the man's organs were shattered. His meridians and blood were congealing. He could not live at all.
"Thank you."
The middle-aged man used his remaining strength to grab Lu Yin's arm. He opened his hazy eyes and said in a hoarse and weak voice, "Save, save us."
"Please, save, save us."
"We, we are from the Mountain Sword Sect, and so are you. Human, please save us."
Lu Yin's heart was heavy. "No need to say anything. I'll see for myself. You, rest." He then sent out a karmic spiral through the middle-aged man's body to see his past.
The man could not speak, and Lu Yin could only use karma to understand as much as possible. The Mountain Sword Sect.
Lu Yin watched calmly as his karmic past appeared. Time passed slowly, and an hour later, the middle-aged man died.
Lu Yin closed his eyes and suppressed his emotions.
The Mountain Sword Sect was a human civilization that existed in a different universe. It was different from the Tianyuan Universe and the Ninefold Universe. In that universe, the humans had been defeated. Fortunately, the Mountain Sword Sect's ancestor was an Eternal Realm powerhouse. Even though he had lost to other Eternal Realms in the same universe, he was still able to protect himself. He brought the entire human race to hide in the Mountain Sword Sect and left that universe. If they did not leave, the human civilization would eventually be destroyed.
The Mountain Sword Sect's ancestor had led the human civilization across the universe in search of a suitable home. They had experienced many dangers and wars, but when they found a suitable home, they were targeted by the unknown and became one of the civilizations that the unknown could make use of.
The Mountain Sword Sect could not resist the unknown. To the unknown, they were nothing more than ants. The Eternal Realm ancestor had to fight for the unknown time and time again to protect the Mountain Sword Sect's human heritage.
This middle-aged man was a disciple of the Mountain Sword Sect's ancestor, and he had personally seen the ancestor's clothes stained with blood time and time again. He had walked on the brink of death time and time again, trying to escape the unknown.
The Mountain Sword Sect was crying.
Everyone mourned for the ancestor, but no one could replace him.
Finally, the entire Mountain Sword Sect had been captured. Through the middle-aged man's karmic past, Lu Yin knew that they had been targeted by the Mudwater Kingdom because of him.
He had captured Ni Gui and killed Ni Bai, causing the Mudwater Kingdom to suffer heavy losses. Coincidentally, his own race had been present on the battlefield, so the Mudwater Kingdom naturally had to act.
It was all because of him.
However, Lu Yin had not expected that a human civilization would appear on this battlefield.
If he had killed Ni Fan, the Mountain Sword Sect would not have been in such a miserable state. It was all because of him.
Lu Yin clenched his fists. "I'm sorry."
He silently looked at the middle-aged man's corpse. Not long after, the clay doll fell and was crushed to the ground.
Lu Yin looked down at the doll. "Where is the Mountain Sword Sect?"
The doll took out a piece of white paper and folded it into a paper bridge. "This can take you there."
It was obvious that this was a test from the Mudwater Kingdom. Just as the old man had said, the Mudwater Kingdom was not sure whether this human civilization cared about its own race. This was just a test. It did not matter if they did not care, but if they did, they could use this opportunity to get rid of Lu Yin.
The Mudwater Kingdom was not afraid of an unknown number of powerful Eternal Realms, but they were afraid of a scoundrel like Lu Yin.
The Mudwater Kingdom could not tolerate such an existence, especially since Lu Yin had caused them to suffer heavy losses.
"What if I don't go?"
"If you don't show up, half of you will die," the doll replied.
Lu Yin exhaled, and the Naming Platform Hell appeared. He threw the doll in to increase his karmic power while he stared into the distance.
The Mountain Sword Sect was not a sect, but rather a remnant of human civilization. All of them had gathered in the Mountain Sword Sect under the protection of that Eternal Realm ancestor. That was an entire civilization.
This civilization should be the same as the Tianyuan Universe and the others. They had once been bait, but because of Red Hero's betrayal and the collapse of the Second Stronghold, those powerful enemies had stopped chasing after the bait and instead attacked the Ninth Base. That was how they had survived.
They were the same as the Mountain Sword Sect.
Lu Yin could not watch as half of the Mountain Sword Sect's people died, and it was all because of him.
But how could he save them?
What awaited him was what the Mudwater Kingdom believed to be a hopeless situation.
Lu Yin was not so arrogant as to think that he could single-handedly break the deadlock of a fishing civilization. His teleportation, Crow Immobilization, karma, and so on could not make up for the huge gap between him and an absolute powerhouse.
Lan Meng arrived, and the door beside him was still open. The old man's voice could be heard. "Little guy, are you troubled?"
Lu Yin did not answer.
"Haha, as expected, you haven't cultivated for long enough. You haven't seen this universe clearly."
Lu Yin's eyes moved, and he looked at the door. These words sounded familiar, as Grandmaster Grass had said them several times before.
"The universe is a cycle, and all living things are formed from the material of the universe itself. When a living thing dies, its material will recombine to form another living thing. The so-called reluctance to part with life comes from emotional ties. Humans have too many emotional ties, which is why they have ended up like this. If you don't save them, then this war will quickly pass, and their lives will have nothing to do with you. It is their own incompetence."
"Haha, or do you think that you can save them by yourself?"
