They had given up on the Big Dipper Remnant Star because there was a cultivation path in the three universes. Otherwise, what awaited them would be silence and death.
"So you're saying that you've been bullied by that ferryman all these years?"
Chen Jian did not deny it. "You can say that."
Lu Yin sighed. "I haven't vented my anger on the Mountain Sword Sect, so let's deal with this first. Senior, there's something I need to remind you of."
He looked at Chen Jian Eternity. "Once a tributary of the River of Time is captured, the Sinking Star Universe will be completely destroyed and disappear."
Chen Jian Eternity's eyes trembled, and he was speechless for a long time.
Although they had left the Sinking Star Universe and were certain that they would not be able to return, it was still difficult to accept an eternal parting.
Lu Yin was not in a hurry, so he waited quietly.
After a while, Chen Jian Eternity said, "Take me to see it one last time."
Lu Yin raised his hand and placed it on Chen Jian Eternity's shoulder, teleporting him towards the Sinking Star Universe.
Even if he did not ask, Lu Yin would have taken him there.
He would take him to see how the ferryman had been dealt with. Although human civilization had been defeated, it was not something that could be bullied by just anyone. From small to large, those civilizations had fought back one by one, taking it one breath at a time.
Patriarch Shan had been right; humans had never been willing to be left alone.
Although they revered the Sinking Star Universe and had self-awareness, this self-awareness seemed to be becoming more and more unreliable.
Not long after, they arrived at the Sinking Star Universe.
They had not been gone for long, but a large number of creatures that had been suppressed by human civilization had ascended the stage, and some had even ascended to the Big Dipper Remnant Star.
Chen Jian Eternity was furious and took care of those creatures. He stayed alone on the Big Dipper Remnant Star and said something.
Lu Yin arrived at a mountain not far from the Big Dipper Remnant Star.
This was Chen Jian Eternity's residence on a barren mountain. Everything he saw was barren, and his enjoyment and emotions had been abandoned.
Lu Yin saw many memorial tablets, but because there was a sourcebox array protecting this place, those creatures could not enter.
These memorial tablets were of the people that Chen Jian Eternity cared about the most. He saw two deep footprints on the ground, left behind by a person who had been standing there for too long.
Lu Yin slowly walked in and stood on the two footprints, looking at the many memorial tablets.
Chen Jian Eternity came. "Let's go."
Lu Yin looked at the tablets. "You're not taking them away?"
Sorrow flashed in Chen Jian Yongsheng's eyes, but he quickly calmed down. "They were all born in the Sinking Star Universe. Let them disappear with this universe."
Lu Yin was in a daze. "Senior, can you really let go?"
Chen Jian Yongsheng replied calmly, "Yes."
"Abandoning all emotions and heartlessness, turning yourself into an emotionless machine to protect this universe. Although Senior does not have any disciples, everyone in Sinking Star Universe is Senior's disciple. This kind of protection is admirable," Lu Yin said. Hearing and seeing were two different concepts.
He originally thought that after hearing Chen Jian's experience of immortality, he would be able to understand him.
But standing in front of these memorial tablets, he realized that his so-called understanding was too insignificant.
This method might be stupid, but it was true.
When a person completely abandoned himself to do something, it was very scary.
Chen Jian Yongsheng looked at the Big Dipper Remnant Stars and said, "I've let go of my emotions, but I can't let go of myself. To be honest, abandoning myself and being heartless is a lie. If I had let go, there wouldn't have been those two footprints. To this universe, I'm a protector, but to them, I'm a traitor.
I betrayed their emotions and betrayed myself. "
Lu Yin slowly bowed to the memorial tablets. His mental state was rising, but there was no trace of joy. Humans had sacrificed too much for their own civilization, and he did not know what the outcome would be. However, he would not regret it.
His hardships and tiredness were not the only ones. Everyone else was also paying the price.
Sinking Star Universe did not have a mirage domain, and the tributaries of the River of Time flowed within the universe. Lu Yin and Chen Jian Yongsheng quickly found this tributary and looked into the distance. They saw a strange creature. "That must be the previous civilization of this universe."
Chen Jian Yongsheng nodded, his gaze gloomy. "The previous civilization regarded the ferryman as a god and worshipped him, so he protected us."
"The war over Sinking Star Universe was more of a war to suppress this ferryman. He hoped that we would worship him like the previous civilization. How laughable, how could an Eternal Realm cultivator worship a ferryman?"
Lu Yin laughed. "If one's realm is not high enough, then the River of Time is a god. If one's realm is high enough, then this ferryman can't even leave the River of Time.
How laughable. "
At that moment, a voice came from the River of Time. "Chen Jian, you humans have already left this universe. Why have you returned?"
Chen Jian Yongsheng stared into the distance. "We came back to find you."
"Find me?"
The ferryman did not understand, and his voice was low and hoarse with obvious hostility. "Since you left, there's no need to return. You don't belong to this universe."
"It's not up to you to decide whether or not we return," Chen Jian Yongsheng shouted, his tone completely different from before.
From the ferryman's point of view, Chen Jian seemed to have become a completely different person. Both his aura and attitude had changed.
A hint of sharpness.
Chen Jian Yongsheng was once reserved, but now he was insolent. "It looks like your civilization has found its own kind. So what?
You're not thinking of attacking me, are you? Hmph, don't blame me for not warning you. If you attack me, I can draw the River of Time to sweep you all away. "
"Even if you're an Eternal Realm cultivator, you can forget about coming back."
Chen Jian Yongsheng did not say anything else.
Lu Yin looked at the ferryman in the distance. The ferryman had been staring at Lu Yin the entire time. He understood Chen Jian, but he did not understand Lu Yin at all.
These words were actually meant for Lu Yin to hear.
"Since your human civilization has completely left, we have nothing to do with each other. You know that I can't leave the River of Time. From now on, we have no grudges. You can leave," the ferryman said.
The difficulty of killing the ferryman of the River of Time for an Eternal Realm cultivator depended on the ferryman's control of time and the extent of his control.
When Zhao Ran had fought her way out of the mirage domain, she had used the tributary of the River of Time to fight against the droplet of Qing Xian. She had also used the Photo Album of Time to assist her. These methods were actually quite brilliant. After all, Zhao Ran had walked out of Maiden Wei's body, and Maiden Wei was not an ordinary ferryman of the River of Time. She had the ambition to break through to immortality and had tried.
The ferryman's methods were not as good as Zhao Ran's, but he had one move that Chen Jian and his masters could not easily deal with. That was Concealment.
He could turn time into a fog to the point that even an Eternal Realm cultivator could not see through. He could hide in the River of Time, and if someone tried to attack him, as long as he was not killed immediately, he could do something.
In his words, he could draw the River of Time to sweep everyone away.
Of course, Lu Yin had already told Chen Jian that immortality was not that simple.
Even the ferryman of the River of Time would find it difficult to draw it down, but as long as there was a chance, Chen Jian and the others would not dare to take the risk.
But now, he was facing Lu Yin.
The River of Time was covered in fog, and it was getting thicker and thicker. It had far surpassed the time that the mirage domain in the Tianyuan universe had turned into fog.
This fog was enough to cause the powerhouses of Bitter Adversity to fall into the flow of time, just like when they had entered the mirage domain for the first time.
However, this did not affect Lu Yin or Chen Jian's immortality.
The ferryman gradually disappeared into the fog.
He sensed danger.
"Senior, make your last move in this universe. Let the Big Dipper Remnant Star shine for the last time. I'll mark your position," Lu Yin said.
He could easily find the ferryman's position. Flowing light chased after time through space, and the ferryman could not avoid it.
He did not know that Whitey could place a door in the River of Time and use it to escape the restraints of space. It could be opened anywhere within a square inch. Lu Yin could not do that, but he still had the strength to control this tributary of the River of Time.
Chen Jian's expression was complicated, and he slowly clenched his fist. An invisible force caused the surrounding void to tremble, and a blurry shadow slowly appeared within his body. He brandished his fist, and then, one shadow after another appeared and overlapped. At the same time, the Big Dipper Remnant Star trembled as the fist's force was drawn over. The ferryman's aura soared, and he screamed, "What are you doing, Chen Jian?
Stop! If you don't stop, I'll draw the River of Time. "
Chen Jian acted as if he did not hear anything. So what if this ferryman really did draw the River of Time?
This Mister Lu Yin could teleport.
"Chen Jian, don't you dare!
You're forcing me. "
The ferryman was truly afraid now, and he stared at Lu Yin. This was the person who had given Chen Jian such confidence, but could they see him?
Lu Yin looked at Chen Jian. Was this the Starry Fist?
Each shadow represented a comprehension of the fist intent. The more shadows there were, the stronger the fist intent, and the stronger the fist intent from the Big Dipper Remnant Star would be. Chen Jian was undoubtedly the strongest Starry Fist of this era, and Lu Yin was looking forward to seeing him use his full strength.
However, it would take too much time, and a true enemy would not give him that much time.
"Chen Jian, stop!" the ferryman shouted.
Chen Jian's eyes widened, and he faced the River of Time and punched out. Starry Fist.
The force of this punch transcended the tributary of the River of Time, and the ferryman watched in shock as it fiercely attacked.
It could not figure out how Chen Jian had found it.
It wanted to escape, but how could it block an Eternal Realm's punch? Furthermore, this punch clearly surpassed any of Chen Jian's previous punches. Was the ferryman crazy? Did he really need to use his full strength to deal with it?
But it could not escape. A streak of light shot through the air. Was this the power of time?
The ferryman didn't look at Chen Jian; instead, it looked at Lu Yin. Lu Yin's appearance had been deeply imprinted into its heart under the light of this fist. This human had discovered it. How hateful, how hateful, how hateful …
The punch passed by, and the hull of the boat dispersed along with the ferryman.
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. This punch was ruthless enough, and it was not any weaker than the Bloodsoar Defense or the Gate of Wonder's. However, it was not Chen Jian's own strength, but rather the Big Dipper Remnant Star. What a pity. If Chen Jian had this kind of strength, then the three universes would have another powerhouse.
This ferryman might have lived for a long time, but karma did not.
No matter how much karma it had, it would not be able to leave, so Lu Yin did not plan on using it to strengthen the Heavenly Dao of Karma.
Furthermore, he was afraid of an accident.
What if the main River of Time was drawn out?
At the very least, this tributary of the River of Time would be gone.
