Thus, the number of people had increased, with each universe sending out ten million people.
After gathering everyone, Lu Yin brought them to the outskirts of Xiang City, and then …
Everyone entered.
No matter what, they had to try.
What did it mean to have ten million people enter Xiang City?
Xiang City was in an uproar.
This was different from when Che had captured an entire civilization and thrown it into Xiang City. For example, the stone golem's civilization had been completely unprepared at first, and even if they had activated the Thousand Forms Nightfall, it had been a long time after they had entered Xiang City. By then, many of their creatures had already died.
There was no way to command them.
Moreover, it was said that an entire civilization had entered Xiang City.
This was just a concept.
It couldn't possibly be an entire civilization, or else Xiang City would have been filled to the brim long ago. At most, there would only be a million creatures.
Before entering the city, Lu Yin had reminded everyone not to reveal themselves as long as their lives weren't in danger. He had to find the right opportunity.
Most people weren't in danger at first, but even a small portion of people were in danger. Tens of millions of people were still a lot.
For example, some people had turned into fish, but the unlucky ones had been caught by fishermen and were about to be cooked.
Some people had turned into crickets and were fighting with other crickets.
They couldn't win.
Others had turned into firewood and were about to be burned.
There were too many situations.
Even if there were only a few tens of thousands of people, it was enough to cause Xiang City to boil over.
Lu Yin had turned into a bird and could see everything clearly.
He didn't wait any longer.
He sent out a signal.
This signal had been agreed upon with everyone before they entered the city.
Once the signal was sent out, everyone would move out.
At the same time, this signal had also been agreed upon with the stone golem.
Following that, a rare scene occurred in Xiang City: an uproar.
Chickens, ducks, fish, and even tables and chairs were all on the move as if they had come to life and moved onto the streets.
Everyone in Xiang City was stunned, and they all hid in their homes.
But what was the point of hiding in their homes?
Every house had an animal or object moving, and all of Xiang City seemed to be moving as well.
The stone golem was stunned; when had it ever seen such a scene in Xiang City?
What was the meaning of this?
Were there that many civilized creatures?
And they were too cooperative.
No one dared to resist. When there were so many of them, resistance was meaningless.
Looking at the dancing swords and blades, everyone became even more terrified.
Lu Yin constantly changed the signal and commanded everyone to move. He controlled the two streets, and even those who tried to resist were suppressed.
At this moment, he was the king of Xiang City.
Everything else was up to him.
However, he still didn't feel like he was in control of Xiang City. Lu Yin continued to soar through the skies, and those who had dared to shoot him before were now trembling in fear, not daring to move.
The bird was king.
As for the foreign creatures that had entered Xiang City before, they all began to move. They did not know what had happened, but they knew that such a big change was beneficial to them.
The leaf that had been pierced by the bamboo hadn't managed to escape.
At this moment, he was jumping excitedly on a chair.
He saw more than one pair of slippers. There was actually a creature that had turned into slippers.
Everyone was holed up in their homes, and Xiang City obeyed Lu Yin's orders. Lu Yin tried to give out orders, but it was useless. He didn't feel like he was in control of Xiang City at all. Did he really have to transform into a human?
He was disappointed, and he could only command the creatures to head towards the city gate. Some of the creatures had already taken the opportunity to run towards the city gate, but it was useless. There were people guarding the gate.
In the history of Xiang City, there had never been such a terrible incident.
Xiang City had once belonged to the Fifth Stronghold, and the Fifth Stronghold had controlled it.
Afterward, it had been controlled by Clear, who had tried all sorts of methods to gain control. He had even tried to use numbers to control the creatures, but it had not been as exaggerated. After all, the creatures that he had thrown in were not from his own civilization and would not listen to his orders. Even now, Lu Yin still did not know what Clear's true form was.
Seeing that he could not control Xiang City this way, Lu Yin could only lead everyone away.
Everyone in Xiang City hid in their homes and only came out slowly after all the creatures had left. They had just experienced a nightmare.
Outside Xiang City, there was a huge crowd. Tens of millions of people were being led away from the city gate, and many of them were foreign creatures. They looked at the humans around them and did not dare to move. Chu Songyun, Dan Hong, and the others were standing guard outside. The auras of those below the Immortal Realm were suppressing them. Even further away were the Heaven-Carrying Immortal and the Startled Lord.
Even if an Immortal Realm appeared, it would be difficult.
Lu Yin was the last to leave Xiang City. When he walked out of the city, there were tens of millions of humans on one side and only a few hundred thousand on the other side. They were all different creatures, and most of them were from the stone golem civilization.
At first glance, there were at least a hundred of them. Clear had not been idle these past few years and had thrown in quite a number of them. A considerable number of them had either escaped or been dealt with by Clear. Only a small number of them had been left behind, like the stone golems, who had been stuck.
The stone golems were Immortal Realms as well. They were not small and were the focus of attention. After all, they were Immortal Realms.
However, the stone golems did not dare to be impudent, even if Lu Yin did not come out. The Startled Lord's aura was too fierce, and it was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with. There was also the Heaven-Carrying Immortal beside him.
This human civilization was really powerful.
Lu Yin looked at all the foreign creatures. "I know there are Immortal Realms among you. Come out."
It was impossible for Clear to capture just one Immortal Realm and try to control Xiang City. Most of the creatures were just trying, and he only had hope of controlling an Immortal Realm.
But Lu Yin did not understand. If an Immortal Realm really controlled Xiang City, what would he do?
Xiang City was known as the strongest defense. Would he be able to shake an Immortal Realm that controlled Xiang City?
This question had been bothering Lu Yin since the moment he returned Xiang City.
All the foreign creatures looked at each other. They did not know each other, so they kept their distance and were on guard.
For so many years, they had been stuck in Xiang City and lived with another appearance. It was really sad. Now that they had escaped, their lives were controlled by this civilization. They were at a loss.
Under Lu Yin's gaze, a figure walked out and attracted everyone's attention.
The figure looked like seaweed and was only one meter tall. It seemed to be lying on the ground, but as it gradually walked out, the aura of an Immortal Realm shook the surroundings, causing the foreign creatures to tremble and quickly avoid it.
Lu Yin looked at the figure, and his eyes flashed. Although it was an Immortal Realm, its aura was waning. It was obvious that it had been severely injured. Its combat strength might not even be as good as Chu Songyun's.
"May I ask which stronghold you belong to?"
The figure spoke in a hoarse voice. It was low and weak, but it made Lu Yin's eyes widen. "You know Ninth Base?"
Alarm Gate Shangyu waved his hand, and the Heaven-Carrying Immortality immediately led tens of millions of people away. Chu Songyun also pulled the foreign creatures away and let Lu Yin and Alarm Gate Shangyu talk about the environment of this Immortal Realm.
The figure slowly raised its head, and a pair of blue eyes appeared under the black seaweed. It seemed to be sizing up Lu Yin and then looked at Alarm Gate Shangyu. "Very good, very good."
"What's good?" Lu Yin asked.
"There is hope for human civilization. You are not immortal, but you stand before immortality. This is very good."
Lu Yin and Alarm Gate Shangyu looked at each other. Alarm Gate Shangyu did not mind as they were used to Lu Yin handling everything. Whether it was strength or responsibility, Lu Yin was qualified.
And at this moment, listening to the seaweed, it seemed to be very friendly to human civilization.
Lu Yin looked at it. "Your Excellency, you should say something that we can understand."
"Of course, I am You Wu. I am You Che's master."
Both Lu Yin and Alarm Gate Shangyu were shocked. "You are Che's master?"
"To be able to enter and leave Xiang City freely, you either stole it from Che or he deliberately gave it to you. Regardless, you know Che. In that case, there is no need for me to hide my identity. This day will eventually come, and you have all been used by Che," You Wu said slowly, not surprising Lu Yin at all.
Being used was within Lu Yin's expectations, or rather, it was within the expectations of the entire human civilization.
Che had returned Xiang City because he felt guilty, but only he knew the truth.
Perhaps it was as he said, but the possibility was very small. Lu Yin was more willing to believe that he was being used.
Just as Che had tried many times to let the Immortal Realm take control of Xiang City, returning Xiang City to human civilization might also be one of his attempts.
Lu Yin did not know how Che would take control of Xiang City if he really did.
With the unknown, rules could not be broken, and human civilization was now extremely strong, so how could Che take control?
Lu Yin looked at You Wu doubtfully. "Senior, please enlighten me."
You Wu looked at Lu Yin. "Your Excellency, which stronghold do you belong to?"
"Senior, please enlighten me first." Lu Yin would not trust You Wu just because he said a few words.
You Wu lay down again. "Human civilization has nine strongholds. Fortunately, I once saved a human prodigy from danger. As time passed, that human prodigy shone brightly and illuminated an era. He became the master of the Fifth Stronghold, and his name was Xiang Xue."
Lu Yin looked serious. The master of the Fifth Stronghold?
Xiang Xue.
"Xiang Xue was an honest and considerate person. His talent was extraordinary, but he was not arrogant. On account of my saving his life, he specially allowed me to enter the Fifth Stronghold. In that era, human civilization was unrivaled, and foreign creatures were proud to be able to enter the stronghold. That was an era where human civilization could communicate and converse with each other.
"When I entered the Fifth Stronghold, I also brought my disciple, You Che, with me."
"You Che."
At this point, You Wu suddenly became agitated. "That bastard betrayed me, the Fifth Stronghold, and Xiang Xue's kindness to us. He's a bastard."
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. Betrayal? Betrayal again?
You Che had once said that he did not betray them, but his words could not be trusted. The unknown would always be the enemy of human civilization.
Alarmed Shangyu clenched her fists. She hated traitors.
"You Che and I are not humans, so calling us betrayers is a little too much. However, in Xiang Xue's eyes, You Che was no different from the other human prodigies. In that era, he was even known as Young Master Che of the Fifth Stronghold, and those human prodigies all accepted him."
You Wu lay down in the starry sky and looked into the distance. "I'm sorry, Xiang Xue. I'm sorry. I didn't teach my disciple well. I'm sorry, I'm sorry …"
Lu Yin could not help but interrupt, "Senior, please continue."
