Twenty-five raised a piece of armor. "I knew that we would have to part one day. Eternal life?
There is no such thing as eternal life. Theoretically, eternal life is eternal, but no creature can truly live forever. From the moment we defeated the Dark Apocalypse Civilization, the days of this old man's departure from the entire race have entered the countdown. "
"I can't bear to part with you, children. The seven-colored lake, the emerald green lotus leaves, and the innocent smiles on your faces made me reluctant to part with you. Looking at you all, I know that I'm still alive. Unfortunately, this day will eventually come. Oh right, there's also that hateful and naughty Little Six. I really hope I can see you one last time before I die."
Twenty-five blinked. "That's all."
Lu Yin took the armor piece. "Does it record your reluctance to part with the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad tribe?"
Twenty-five nodded silently. "We can't bear to part with you either."
Lu Yin patted its head and did not say anything else.
Soon, Twenty-five took out a second piece of armor. "There's a coordinate recorded here."
Coordinate?
Twenty-five translated it for Lu Yin.
Lu Yin traced it in the sky and remembered the half-invincible coordinate that Patriarch Shan had left on another piece of armor. The two matched, and there was no mistake. It was these coordinates, but it could only be considered half of half.
The previous coordinate was a line, but the current coordinate was only one end of a line, and there was no other end. The point where the two lines intersected was where the invincible coordinate was, but just based on this half of the coordinate, it was impossible to draw the second line.
One more coordinate was missing.
Splitting a coordinate into three pieces was enough to show the importance Old Ancestor Shan placed on it. He was not guarding against himself. Back when he was trapped in the Mahakala Sealing Mirror, he was also guarding against the Dark Enlightenment civilization. He was guarding against the unknown, which was why he had split the pieces.
Yes, Patriarch Shan had died because he was being watched by some creature. Perhaps it had sensed it at the beginning of the war with the Dark Apocalypse Civilization.
Lu Yin did not know the details, so he could only guess.
However, it was clear that these one hundred pieces of armor would not be collected in a short period of time.
Twenty-five took out the third piece. "There's only one sentence on it." It was a little conflicted. "Is Patriarch Shan crazy?"
Lu Yin was curious. "What's written on it?"
Twenty-five coughed. "I'll translate it for you, but don't think that I said it. I'm too calm to say such things."
Lu Yin looked at it.
It stared at the piece of armor. "There are indeed invincible techniques in this world. We were all wrong. That person who had been laughed at for his entire life unleashed the most powerful and invincible punch. With one punch, he destroyed an entire fishing civilization."
Lu Yin's eyes widened, thinking that he had misheard. "What did you say?"
Twenty-Five stomped his feet. "I didn't say that. It was the ancestor. I'm not that shallow."
"Say it again." Lu Yin's expression was solemn.
Twenty-five translated again and hurriedly said, "I'll reiterate again. I didn't say that. I'm so calm and steady. I wouldn't say something like that."
Lu Yin stared at the plate in shock. Was this for real?
Destroying a fishing civilization with one punch?
Are you kidding me?
That was a fishing civilization. Even Grand Ancestor Shan would not be able to defeat the Dark Enlightenment Civilization that easily. Even so, there were still survivors from the Dark Enlightenment Civilization who managed to escape.
Who?
So terrifying that he could destroy a fishing civilization with one punch?
Wait, punch?
He suddenly thought of the Starry Fist. Sunken Eternity's masters had said that the Starry Fist was invincible, and his masters had come from the Ninth Base. Could it be true?
Even Er Mao had said that the Taia Starry Fist was invincible.
It couldn't be.
He had also opened the Astral Fist Manual. The Starry Fist was indeed powerful.
However, it was more suitable for inheriting a civilization. It was a fist technique of a civilization, not an individual.
A fist technique of a civilization?
An invincible technique. Perhaps this was the path to invincibility?
An individual's strength was ultimately limited. Only with the blessing of a civilization could one be invincible.
Was this the case?
Lu Yin stared at the piece of armor. That short sentence had changed his perception. Grand Ancestor Shan would not speak nonsense. There were indeed invincible techniques in this world. Someone who had been laughed at for their entire life?
There were too many legends about the Nine Bases Era. He wanted to go against the flow of time and return to the peak of the Nine Bases Era. He wanted to witness the birth of heroes and see the resplendent starry sky.
"There's more here. Do you want to translate?"
Lu Yin put away the plate. "Continue."
Twenty-five coughed again. "I'll write it down this time."
Lu Yin watched.
"Every living being has the right to choose. Every civilization can have a creature that can defy the Ancients. But can defying the Ancients really change the fate of a civilization?"
Lu Yin took a step forward and stared at the stars. Defying the Ancients?
He had finally mentioned Defying the Ancients.
He had always remembered Defying the Ancients.
When he had broken through, Brave Surge had caught up with some people, but the last person had thrown him back because it was too early.
The answer he had obtained from Azure Lotus was that Defying the Ancients really did exist, but they could not return. The turbid treasure was most likely a gift from Defying the Ancients to the later generations.
Lu Yin had thought that the turbid treasure might be able to contact Defying the Ancients.
Once Defying the Ancients returned, human civilization would be completely different.
However, other civilizations might have Defying the Ancients as well, but there were no records of them returning.
Azure Lotus knew very little. He was confident that Defying the Ancients was an existence that matched the laws of two universes, but once Defying the Ancients left, there was no guarantee of returning.
The truth of Defying the Ancients was still unclear.
"Defying the Ancients, Defying the Ancients. Defying the Ancients means all suffering, and this suffering will be paid for by civilization."
"This old man's karmic bindings are complete, and there's nothing I can do about Defying the Ancients, so I won't join in the fun. Whether this path is right or wrong, this old man hopes that the future generations will be accounted for."
Twenty-five stopped.
Lu Yin frowned, "That's it?"
Twenty-five shook his head, "That's it."
Lu Yin looked at the words written in the stars, That's it?
What was written here?
Expectations?
Conflicted choices?
What exactly was Defying the Ancients?
He had thought that he could learn the truth of Defying the Ancients through Patriarch Shan, but now it seemed that even Patriarch Shan did not know.
He naturally had the ability to defy the Ancients, but his karmic bindings were complete due to encountering the Dark Apocalypse, so he did not set foot on that path.
Otherwise, with Patriarch Shan's strength, he might have been able to return.
An existence that matched the laws of three universes was a rare powerhouse throughout history.
No matter how difficult the Defying the Ancients was, it might not be able to keep such a powerhouse.
What a pity.
But what did the last sentence mean by accounting for the future generations?
It seemed to be referring to something.
After all four plates were translated, Twenty-five left. He found human civilization very interesting, no wonder the Startoad was willing to stay.
Lu Yin looked at the plates and put them away. With twenty plates, the External Pupil Avatar's defense had increased again.
He found a place to lie down in the hanging coffin and disappeared.
"Who's there?
Come out and talk, "Lu Yin called out.
The Divine Master heard him. He had always been there, but he knew that Lu Yin was not looking for him.
"I'm here." This was the black unknown.
Ever since it discovered that Lu Yin's drawing of the star chart was especially fast, the black unknown's attitude towards him had changed. Before, it would completely ignore him and not say a word, but now, it could chat as long as Lu Yin was willing.
"Black, have you heard of an invincible fist technique?"
"An invincible fist technique?"
"The Starry Fist," the old man said.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, "Old man, you know about it?"
"Hehe, of course. Since ancient times, the only thing that could truly be called invincible was that punch. Didn't Second Hair say that before he died?" The old man chuckled.
Lu Yin asked, "Is the Starry Fist really invincible?"
"Haha."
It really was the Starry Fist, but if it was invincible, why was the Fallen Star Universe only worth a two-star mission reward?
He could not figure it out. After all, the Big Dipper Broken Stars had opened the Astral Fist Manual for him. Even if it was difficult to cultivate, since it was opened, there was a possibility of cultivating it, which was equivalent to giving him the possibility of being invincible.
This was only worth a two-star mission reward?
Something was wrong, something was definitely wrong.
"Eight Colors, is the Fallen Star Universe only worth a two-star mission reward?" Lu Yin asked.
Eight Colors replied, "Yes."
"Why?
Don't you know that the Starry Fist is there? "
"No comment."
Lu Yin frowned. He did not know if they were kind enough to help him. Then, would they have the same plan as You Che? They couldn't learn the Starry Fist themselves, so they let him learn it and then snatch it from him?
No, if he learned the invincible Starry Fist, who could snatch it away?
Since it was invincible, no one could snatch it away.
Eight Colors must be hiding some purpose.
"Kid, why are you suddenly asking this?
Did you learn the Starry Fist? "the old man asked.
Lu Yin said bluntly, "Yes."
"Interesting."
"Haha, old man, don't you care?"
"Why should I care?"
"Didn't you say it was an invincible fist technique?"
The old man chuckled. "Little guy, isn't the word 'invincible' incredible?"
"Yes."
"In that case, what's there to worry about? If you think it's incredible, then it shouldn't exist. Besides, I know the Starry Fist too."
Lu Yin raised his eyebrows.
"Every civilization that participated in the war that destroyed the Nine Bases knew it, but no one could successfully cultivate it. This fist technique can indeed reach absolute invincibility, but it's also true that it can't be cultivated," the old man said.
Lu Yin understood. No wonder Eight Colors did not care about the Fallen Star Universe.
Everyone knew the Starry Fist, so what was there to hide?
Chen Jian Yongsheng had been in the Fallen Star Universe for so many years, but he had not cultivated the Starry Fist to invincibility.
At the same time, he also understood why the unknown did not do anything to the Fallen Star Universe. Perhaps the unknown was also observing the Fallen Star Universe to see if anyone could cultivate it. However, since the destruction of the Nine Bases, the strongest person in the Fallen Star Universe was Chen Jian Yongsheng, and he had not cultivated anything.
And Eight Colors must know that the Big Dipper Remnant Star was the fist intent of the Starry Fist. They had even fought during the Nine Bases Era, so why would they pay attention to a fist intent that was on the verge of disappearing after so many years?
"Which stronghold does the Starry Fist belong to?" Lu Yin asked.
"The sixth," the black unknown answered.
Lu Yin understood. This meant that the well-dressed man who had teamed up with the Red Frost Stronghold's Fort Master and the Seventh Stronghold's elder to fight the Ten-Eyed Crow was the Fort Master of the Sixth Stronghold.
In that case, the invincible fist technique should also have been produced by this Fort Master.
