Scenes from the past flashed through Lu Yin's mind. He was obsessed with protecting, and the bitter adversity was letting go. Overcoming the bitter adversity was the process of letting go. It was not giving up, but rather letting go of the obsession in his heart.
He saw that the craziest people were the loneliest, the most vicious were the most pitiful, and the kindest were the most vain.
He saw the ordinary and the extraordinary, the light and the darkness.
He saw Meng Hui's most innocent smile, and he also saw Shui Su's yearning for the ordinary.
He thought of the dream of dying in bed of old age, of a loving mother and filial son. That was the dream of an ordinary person, but even an Eternal Life Realm cultivator yearned for such a dream.
Life experiences were different, but dreams were the same.
Just like how cultivation was a circle, dreams were the beginning and the end.
Unknowingly, Lu Yin walked down the street and reached the end. There was originally a wall here, but in Lu Yin's eyes, a door had appeared. For a moment, he thought that he had walked in the wrong direction.
Looking back, he saw the many figures on both sides of the street and the door on the other side.
That door could leave Xiang City. Then, what was this door?
"Please, Sagemaster …"
"Please, Sagemaster …"
Countless people knelt down and prayed for the most ordinary of wishes.
Lu Yin looked deeply at the crowd and slowly said, "Thank you."
Everyone was at a loss, not understanding what the Sagemaster was thanking them for.
Tuo Lin did not understand either, but his master was right.
Lu Yin looked at these ordinary people and also at their words. Each word represented the Heart's Destiny Technique. He had not cultivated it, but it had allowed him to take the final step.
This word of thanks was given to Xiang City and the ordinary people. It was given to all those who had high hopes for him and hoped that he could help them.
History was like this, and someone had to walk in front. The enjoyment was left to the ordinary people.
Lu Yin turned around and placed both hands on the city gates. He pushed them open.
The gates opened wide, and he stepped out of the city. With this step, he ascended from being a mortal to surpass his past self and embark on the path to immortality.
His state of mind had transcended, and his vitality had ignited the void. Behind Lu Yin, Xiang City swayed.
He looked up at the stars, and as his state of mind transformed, his perception of the universe changed as well. It was carefree, free, and indescribably comfortable. It was like an ordinary person swimming in the water and suddenly landing on dry land. He felt a sense of control over his body and his surroundings.
At this moment, every inch of his flesh and blood, every cell in his body was jumping and boiling with joy.
He seemed to have blended into the universe.
He felt like his entire body was melting.
But halfway through, it stopped. He looked at his hands. What was going on?
Just a bit more, just a bit more.
He had already achieved a breakthrough in his state of mind, so why was he still lacking a little?
Lu Yin's thoughts raced as he looked around. What was the difference?
It was definitely not his mental state, but something else.
He recalled every step he had taken on the path of cultivation. Suddenly, he thought of Xiang Siyu.
Xiang Siyu's luck in the first half of her life had turned into a disaster in the last step, making her unable to take it.
In the first half of his life, he was comparable to an existence that was compatible with the two laws of the universe at the level of a rogue. This shouldn't have existed in the first place. He had surpassed the upper limit of a creature time and time again, and every time he surpassed it, it actually increased the difficulty of breaking through in the future.
It was true that cultivation was a circle, but for this circle to be connected head to tail, it also needed some points.
He believed that he was this point, but this point was not completely compatible with the circle.
That's right, he hadn't fused with it yet. What he needed to do now was to completely fuse with this circle. From a cultivator's Shedding Mortality, then from Shedding Mortality, he would achieve immortality.
Life was a circle, so it had to be perfected.
If he wanted to become the compatible point, he had to return to zero.
Lu Yin had never been so clear about himself before. Whether it was his realm or his speculations, everything was incomparably clear. It was so clear that it was as if someone was holding the answer and telling him what he should do.
He sat down cross-legged, and from his wound, a trace of blood spilled into the sky. He used the Nine Clones Technique, and a drop of blood turned into a clone that brought out the Starry Fist and punched Lu Yin himself.
This punch landed heavily on Lu Yin's body, causing his body to shatter.
The doppelganger dissipated, but another doppelganger appeared. This doppelganger was imbued with godly power. The tri-colored godly power transformed and bombarded the doppelganger.
The godly power bombarded Lu Yin's body.
Then came the power of deathly stillness, the karmic wheel, and the Hidden Sword …
Each attack came from Lu Yin himself. He turned himself into his own tribulation and returned his original body to zero. He used this state to become the point of the circle, connecting head to tail.
He didn't know if he should thank Ni Bieluo and the others for injuring him in advance. Otherwise, even with the power of his clones, it would have been difficult to injure himself to the point of returning to zero.
Returning to zero meant that he had declined to the extreme.
Just like the Ancient God from before.
He had entered such a state. If not for his Mastery Realm battle force breaking through to vitality, he would have died.
The Ancient God had entered such a state because he couldn't smoothly take that step.
Lu Yin had entered such a state of his own accord. Only in this state could he become the point of convergence.
As various powers fell, Lu Yin's body continued to decline. His vitality had long since dissipated, and the Eternal Substance continued to fuse into his body, pushing forward the process of decay and rebirth.
His aura was getting lower and lower, lower and lower.
In the distance, the stone monster was stunned. What was going on?
Self-mutilation?
Self-mutilation?
Did he have to be so ruthless?
He was already heavily injured, and now he was hurting himself?
This human must be crazy.
Suddenly, the stone monster felt its heart palpitate. It looked in the direction of the human civilization. What was going on?
What was going on?
The fixed palace in the three universes had shattered.
It lasted for a shorter time than expected.
The moment the palace shattered, Ni Bieluo suddenly attacked, thrusting his trident towards the Azure Lotus Protector. "Since that human escaped, you will take his place."
It didn't really want to take in the Azure Lotus Protector. It couldn't do it. An ordinary Eternal Realm cultivator couldn't be taken in.
The Azure Lotus Protector used the Lotus Treasure Mirror again, and the Thousand Finger Heavenly Wheel spread out, holding up the sky. His voice spread across the three universes. "There are billions of races in the universe, but only we, the human race, are in the sky!"
"The inheritance will survive. What's wrong with dying in battle?"
"Everyone, are you willing to live and die with me?"
Countless people shouted, "We are willing to live and die together."
"We are willing to live and die together."
"We are willing to live and die together."
…
Nan Ling sneered. "That human called Lu Yin has escaped. Foolish humans, your beliefs are laughable."
Master Grass looked up at Nan Ling. "Is that so?
I hope what you said is true. If he is willing to escape, that will be good. "
Nan Ling was stunned. What did he mean?
The Azure Lotus Protector laughed. "I really hope that child can escape."
"Escape?
I hope so. "On the blood tower, the Azure Lotus Protector coughed up blood and laughed bitterly.
Mister Mu smiled. "Escape, I hope so."
"I hope he can escape."
"Master Lu, I hope you can escape."
"You must escape, Master Lu."
"Mister Lu …"
Nan Ling was stunned. She heard countless people shouting for Lu Yin to escape. Damn it, wasn't it shameful to escape?
You are all going to die, but that human has escaped. Why are you acting like this?
Why?
Ni Bieluo, the Life and Death Calamity master, did not move. He also heard the voices of countless people.
They were all sincere.
They hoped that Lu Yin could escape, even if it was just once. In countless battles, Lu Yin had been at the forefront. He had not given up even when there was a slim chance of survival.
Everyone had seen how miserable he had been in the previous battles.
Lu Yin, who was like a god in their eyes, had crumbled. At that time, they knew that even Lu Yin would be defeated, and that there would be times when he was powerless. However, their reverence for Lu Yin did not diminish. He had already done his best, and that was good.
He was the inheritor of human civilization.
Master Lu, live on.
Countless people clenched their fists and shouted silently. Master Lu, live on.
The Life and Death Calamity master said in a low voice, "What a terrifying civilization."
Ni Bieluo agreed. "Such a civilization should not exist."
Nan Ling's gaze was cold. "Lowly, inferior race."
The Godking rarely spoke. "I misjudged you. I thought you were just a civilization. Humans?
Your belief in the inheritance makes me uneasy. Since I have already made my move, I must destroy you. "Then, specks of light suddenly fell and tore through the Tian Yuan Universe, heading for the Above Heaven Sect.
This was the Godking's first real attack.
The cauldron and the red umbrella were pushed back by two specks of light.
Mister Mu and Chu Songyun vomited blood at the same time. They could not block this attack. The Godking was an existence that had reached the peak of two universal laws.
Ni Bieluo said in a low voice, "We should also make our move. Let that human escape. At least we can make him lose his civilization."
"Haha, this is the human civilization I remember. How terrifying," the old man said. The tributary of the River of Time surged towards the Life and Death Calamity master.
The Life and Death Calamity master's deathly power rushed towards the old man.
If Nan Ling could not find Lu Yin, then she would destroy this universe.
As the screeching sound rang out, the spiritualized universe continuously distorted and spiraled. Countless strings of sequence were torn apart.
Master Green Grass's gaze cracked. Although this identity was fake, his feelings for the spiritualized universe were real. He was Mi Jin and also Green Grass, the protector of the spiritualized universe.
However, he could only watch as the spiritualized universe was destroyed and rebooted.
Nan Ling was not afraid of karma at all. At most, she could resolve it with time. Her hatred for humans and Lu Yin was enough for her to do this.
Countless people in the spiritualized universe despaired as they watched the rebooted universe happen.
However, even though the spiritualized universe was in despair, it was not the most critical moment for the three universes.
What truly attracted the attention of the powerhouses was the Tian Yuan Universe. It was the Godking's real attack. It was also the red sword that Chu Songyun had taken out.
The combination of the sword and the umbrella came from Hong Shuang. At this moment, an unimaginable power of the Path of Ruthlessness erupted. It was as if a woman slowly appeared in the universe's sky, replacing the starry sky and countless people's gazes.
The Godking was shocked. What kind of power was this?
In the three universes, the cultivators of the Path of Ruthlessness subconsciously knelt down as if they were looking at the sky.
Chu Songyun gripped the red umbrella tightly and used the handle as a sword. His body continuously withstood this terrifying Path of Ruthlessness, as if he was holding up the sky.
Far away from the three universes, Red Hero's gaze was solemn. There was deep fear and dread in her eyes.
This was Hong Shuang's power. She was the master of the Second Stronghold. She had created the Path of Ruthlessness and was invincible in this era.
