Ba Rong felt a lingering fear as it sensed Lu Yin's terrifying strength. This human had not even used his full strength when fighting it, so he was definitely an existence that conformed to the laws of two universes. Even so, it should have been able to sense that this person was an Eternal Realm cultivator. Could it be that he was even stronger?
Ba Rong felt helpless as it thought about this. It had been fine in the Core Space for so many years, but it had been unlucky ever since it encountered this human civilization. It had to be more careful in the future.
"I turned into a puppy in that damned place and hid under the bridge. One day, I heard a conversation. The voice was very familiar. It was the human who captured me. I didn't dare to move and just listened quietly. I heard the conversation between him and his master."
"Speaking of which, his master is really pitiful."
Ba Rong looked at Lu Yin and slowly spoke. It was a conversation that had left a deep impression on it.
"Master, why are you so stubborn?"
"Bastard, what happened to Ninth Base?"
"I've already told you many times that Ninth Base has been defeated, and the human inheritance is gone."
"I don't believe it. Ninth Base has been glorious to the extreme. How could it have been defeated?
Just the Fifth Stronghold alone is not something that those civilizations can resist. "
"Master, when will you be willing to accept reality?"
…
"Master, you can go out at any time."
"Do you really not want to see the outside world with your own eyes?"
"Don't you want to look for Xiang Xue?"
…
"It's useless to be stubborn. Master, you haven't gone out for so many years, so you must be certain that Ninth Base is finished, right? You just don't want to face it, but you have to face it eventually."
"I have feelings for the Fifth Stronghold, and Xiang Xue has been good to me. So, if Master is willing to help me take control of Xiang City, I will protect this part of human civilization and at least ensure that it does not end."
"Master, it seems like Xiang Xue is more important than the entire human civilization in your eyes."
…
"Master, if you don't want to talk to me, then I'll tell you. I'm going to give Xiang City away to a little guy with a human inheritance. That little guy has shown me the hope of taking control of Xiang City. But do you know?
If he takes control of Xiang City, I can take it for myself. No one can tell him the truth. Master, are you willing to tell him? "
"Bastard, you won't succeed."
"Yes, it won't be easy, but I'll definitely succeed. You know me. Or rather, you can try to stop that little guy and stop him from taking control of Xiang City. Let's see if he'll listen to you."
"Xiang City belongs to human civilization and belongs to the fifth stronghold."
"Yes, so what should you tell him?
Was it the true owner of Xiang City, or was it not to let Xiang City return to its original owner?
What do you want to do? "
"I will definitely kill you, you bastard."
"How interesting. I've already surpassed my master, haven't I?
Don't be angry, I believe that the little guy has a way to get you out of here. Or rather, you will meet him. I'm looking forward to what you will say when you meet him. Stop him?
Help him?
Why don't we make a bet? When you meet him one day, try your best to say something unfavorable to me. Let's see how many sentences you'll say to touch my bottom line. "
"This bottom line will become the opportunity for me to kill that little fellow. Then, does this count as you killing that little fellow with your own hands?"
"I will definitely kill you, definitely."
"I look forward to that day. Well then, Master, I'll take my leave first. The next time we meet should be outside the city."
…
After Ba Rong finished speaking, she looked at Lu Yin in silence.
This paragraph.
She did not understand what it meant. She only knew that You Che's words were filled with murderous intent and a bone-chilling coldness.
Lu Yin looked at the starry sky with a calm expression, but his murderous intent towards You Che was overwhelming.
It was no wonder that Senior You Wu was unable to say anything after coming out. When You Che appeared, You Wu had even fought with his life on the line. At that time, Lu Yin had actually hoped that You Wu would survive so that he could tell him more about the situation in the Fifth Stronghold. However, You Wu had still sacrificed himself, and the sacrifice was not worth it.
So that was how it was.
You Wu wanted to tell him more, but you didn't dare to.
You Wu had been walking on the edge of a cliff, and in You Wu's opinion, it had also brought Lu Yin to the edge of the cliff. You Wu's words could very well lead to Lu Yin's death, and You Wu could not bear such a loss.
You Che had completely controlled You Che's thoughts, and that fear of him made it unable to trust anyone. No matter how strong the human civilization was, You Wu did not think that they could stop You Che's murderous intent.
Therefore, You Wu was begging for death. He wanted to use his death to tell You Che that he could not say anything and that the human civilization would not get anything out of him. This way, You Che could rest assured that he would not kill Lu Yin.
The more stunning Lu Yin's performance was, the more You Wu cared about his survival.
Perhaps from the first time Lu Yin had spoken to You Wu and You Wu had said, "Very good," You Wu knew that he had to use his death to protect this young man.
From the very beginning, You Che had been using Lu Yin's life to threaten You Wu. However, Lu Yin did not know about this. Only You Wu and You Wu knew about this.
Right, there was also that fish.
You Wu did not know that Lu Yin was protected by some unknown rule and that You Che could not do anything to him.
You Wu had been fooled. You Wu had killed him with just a few words, and he could not even stop Lu Yin from taking control of Xiang City. This was because Xiang City belonged to the humans, and You Wu had hoped that Lu Yin could take control of it, even though he knew that You Che had a backup plan waiting for him.
Words could really kill.
Even if it was an Eternal Realm.
Lu Yin could fully understand You Wu's grievance, anger, helplessness, and despair.
He slowly clenched his fists. You Wu's death did not seem worth it, but You Wu was worthy of everyone's respect. You Wu truly did not fear death, and he was willing to sacrifice himself to protect his beliefs.
You Che had completed his plan, and You Wu's appearance had long been part of his plan. He could not control Xiang City, but he knew that You Wu might know something. That was why he had tried to persuade You Wu for so many years, but You Wu had not said a word. Thus, You Che had given Xiang City to Lu Yin and used Lu Yin to force You Wu to reveal the secret to controlling Xiang City. Once Lu Yin succeeded, You Che would then seize control of the city.
When You Che had given Xiang City to Lu Yin, he had not held out any hope that Lu Yin would be able to control it. What he had truly hoped for was what You Wu had said to Lu Yin after he had been released.
It could be said that You Che had calculated every step.
It was very easy for someone to scheme against someone else.
Lu Yin's gaze darkened. All of this had been planned because of You Che's absolute confidence in himself. If You Che did not have the confidence to take control of Xiang City from Lu Yin's hands, he would not have released You Wu, and Xiang City would not have been handed over to Lu Yin.
What kind of backup plan did You Che have?
Lu Yin still could not see through his enemies. They were too weak. In the end, they were still too weak.
He needed to take an unconventional approach.
His previous thoughts surfaced once again, and it seemed that he really had to do it.
The invisible and unknowable had been watching the three universes and cutting off the upper limits of human civilization. The Death Universe was right next to them, and the unknowable controlled everything. You Che was closing in on them step by step, and there was also Scarlet Hero, Xian Ling, and so on.
If this continued, Lu Yin knew that he had already reached his limit.
He might not even be able to kill his way out of this encirclement.
If he wanted to recreate the glory of the Nine Bases Era, then he would have to walk a different path from his predecessors.
No one in this era could help him, so he could only walk down this path on his own. It was already hard enough, but he was not afraid of more.
He longed to sweep through all of his enemies.
"Can I leave now?" Ba Rong asked in a gentle tone that seemed to be trying to curry favor.
Lu Yin retracted his gaze and looked at Ba Rong. He muttered to himself for a moment before smiling. "Thank you for telling me this."
Ba Rong's heart trembled. Thank you?
Was there such a thing as a square inch of space?
Wait, You Che had said the same thing before. His original words had been, "Thank you. Please help me control Xiang City."
"Don't thank me. Can I leave now?" Ba Rong was apprehensive.
Lu Yin sighed. "Of course."
"But."
Ba Rong's heart skipped a beat.
Lu Yin looked at Ba Rong apologetically. He approached Ba Rong and raised his hand. Ba Rong instinctively retreated, but then it stopped moving. It seemed that it could not retreat.
Lu Yin placed his hand on Ba Rong's head. "A square inch of space is very dangerous, isn't it?"
Ba Rong did not know how to answer. Dangerous?
Not dangerous?
Ba Rong felt as if fate had given it two paths.
"I promised to let you go, so I will. Don't worry, I'm a man of my word," Lu Yin said. He then patted Ba Rong's head. "It's just a little later."
Ba Rong's heart sank. "Later?
A little later? "
"Yes, a little later."
"A little later? How long is that?"
"A hundred thousand years."
Ba Rong's eyes widened. "A little later?"
Lu Yin was puzzled. "For an Eternal Realm, isn't that a little later?
I remember that when I first stepped onto the path of cultivation, an enemy gave me a hundred thousand years to consider a choice. That enemy was far from the Eternal Realm. "
Ba Rong stared at Lu Yin in a daze and recalled their previous conversation. At that time, it wondered if it would be delayed and let go, but it had already asked two questions. It was frightened by this human's killing intent and forgot to ask. Now …
It did not know what to say anymore.
Lu Yin laughed. "Okay, it's only a hundred thousand years. It will pass quickly. Some Eternal Beings have been in seclusion for more than a hundred thousand years. Don't worry, it will be over soon."
"Then why did you keep me here?"
"Our human civilization lacks Eternal Beings. You can temporarily fill in."
"War?"
"Our human civilization loves peace. How can we go to war?"
Ba Rong felt that there was something wrong with what this person said, but it could not help it. It could not run away now.
The only advantage of saying those words was that it did not need to enter the General Platform Hell.
Lu Yin had promised it, so he would not throw it in again. He also promised to let it go, but he did not say when.
"Let's go. I'll introduce you to other Eternal Beings."
Lu Yin took Ba Rong and teleported to the stone monster and Lu Feiyang. After a brief introduction, he took them back to the three universes.
The stone monster looked at the starry sky speechlessly. A hundred thousand years?
It also had to stay in the human civilization for a hundred thousand years?
It was not clear whether it was a long time or not. Lu Yin had promised to let it go.
He looked at Ba Rong and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Lu Yin forced the stone monster and Ba Rong to stay because there were too few Eternal Beings in the human civilization.
Xiang City needed to be protected, and the rock monster was the most suitable. Ba Rong would replace Sky Bearing Eternal Life and stay in the human civilization. Once the human civilization was in danger, it would be able to help a little as long as its life was not threatened, just like Sky Bearing Eternal Life.
