Countless stone tablets recorded the people who had died in this war. Each name represented a fresh life that was now buried in the earth.
Lu Yin looked at the names of the Blood Tower Protector carved on the stone tablet in front of him.
The faces of his old friends lingered in his mind, but he would never be able to talk to them.
He did not say anything. He had already said what he needed to say at the end of the war.
This memorial was heavy and silent.
There would be many more wars like this in the future. The heavens were actually very good to the human civilization, giving them a chance to struggle. Many civilizations did not even have a chance to struggle before they were completely destroyed.
After experiencing such a war, any sacrifice in war was within the range of people's psychological tolerance.
In the back mountain of the Upper Sky Sect, Lu Yin looked at three piles of ashes.
"Luck".
Beside the ashes was a pool of blood, which was from Xiang Siyu.
Xiang Siyu was injured. She did not say how she was injured. She had already gone back to rest.
Luck. Was his breakthrough brought about by luck?
Or was it because of luck that he broke through at the time he wanted to?
If
"Luck" was still there, Lu Yin would not think too much about it, but these three
"Luck" turned into ashes.
Not long after, Lu Yin and Qinglian Shangyu sat in the back mountain while Long Xi brewed tea.
Qinglian Shangyu took a sip and sighed, "To be able to drink tea at this moment is the greatest enjoyment in the world." He was not sighing about the tea, but about life.
Everyone thought that the human civilization was going to be destroyed in this war, even Lu Yin thought so.
Lu Yin also took a sip of tea, "Senior, how is your karma recovering?" Qinglian Shangyu said, "I stayed in the mirage for a long time and recovered a lot. How about you?" Lu Yin said, "Reporting to the heavens helped me recover my karma and even increased it a little."
"Your karma increase is simple and crude. It's enviable."
"I can't be crude now." Lu Yin was helpless.
Qinglian Shangyu sighed, "One less scoundrel Lu Yin, but one more powerful Lu Yin who can intimidate enemies. I don't know if it's worth it." Lu Yin looked at Qinglian Shangyu, "From now on, the human civilization will have to rely on you to protect it." Qinglian Shangyu nodded, "Don't worry. Try your best to wear away the karma binding."
"Unfortunately, the mirage can't do that."
Lu Yin said, "The time in the mirage domain is just a tributary of the River of Time. The karmic restraints must be related to the main River of Time. If the mirage domain could remove the karmic restraints, it would have been snatched away long ago."
Qing Lian Yu could not help but laugh, "Xian Ling's Dream of a Thousand Years is a good idea. It would be good if I could learn it." Lu Yin's eyes flashed, "I'd rather look for Ni Bie Luo."
Master Qinglian was taken aback, but then he thought of something and his expression turned serious. "Ni Bie Luo is not simple. Are you confident?" Lu Yin shook his head. "Not at all."
"Then let's not take the risk," Qinglian Shangyu said.
Lu Yin understood that the only chance he had left was to intimidate, and anyone who dared to challenge him would be unlucky. Once he used it up, his existence would be worthless, and the human civilization would once again become meat on a chopping block.
"Mister Lu, I understand how difficult it must be for you to be restrained right after breaking through to immortality, but …"
Lu Yin interrupted, "Senior Greenlotus, if you're thinking about this, then I won't kill Nan Ling and the others. I don't regret it."
"But there's always a way out. I'll do my best to get out."
Master Qinglian Yu was surprised. He had sealed himself in the Red Lotus Tomb and did not know that Lu Yin had gone to the Death Universe with his nine doppelgangers. He had not had time to tell him about this.
At this time, the Grass Master arrived with a heavy expression, bringing bad news. "The Unknowns have decided to invite Ni Bie Luo to join." Lu Yin's expression changed. "Ni Bie Luo?"
Master Qinglian Yu looked at Lu Yin. They had just mentioned Ni Bie Luo, and Wang Wen had already acted. That was really fast.
There was no need to guess that Wang Wen had invited Ni Bie Luo to join. Otherwise, who knew Ni Bie Luo?
Wang Wen could make use of Ni Bie Luo.
Lu Yin's mood became even heavier.
Not only was Wang Wen's combat power unfathomable, but he also had an incomparable understanding of the human civilization and himself.
It could be said that even Lu Yin himself did not know himself as well as Wang Wen.
Wang Wen had seen through human nature, his wisdom was extremely high, and his plans were far-reaching. He could predict the enemy's every move and was quite difficult to deal with.
"Looking at you, it seems that Ni Bie Luo joining the Unknowns is not good for you," the Grass Master said.
Lu Yin nodded and told him about his plan to use Ni Bie Luo to find a way to transfer the karmic restraints.
The Grass Master listened and said, "Wang Wen must have guessed your thoughts. If he can do this, it means that he thinks you have a chance of success."
"Is it really possible?" Lu Yin was not very confident himself.
Master Qinglian Yu said, "From the perspective of karma, it's almost impossible. There are so many powerhouses who have comprehended karma, but I've never heard of anyone being able to transfer the karmic restraints. It's not even a joke."
The Grass Master said, "But from the perspective of a game, it's possible. Wang Wen does not do useless things. If he can do this, it means that he thinks it's possible."
Compared to Master Qinglian Yu, Lu Yin trusted Wang Wen more. Wang Wen was too strong and far surpassed Master Qinglian Yu.
Although Lu Yin and Master Qinglian Yu had comprehended karma, even if Wang Wen had not, Lu Yin believed that he had a unique understanding of karma.
"Senior, what do you think the chances of Ni Bie Luo joining are?"
Lu Yin asked as he looked at the Grass Master. The person in front of him was not the Grass Master he knew. He was Master Qinglian Yu, also known as Master Hui.
At the beginning of the war, Wang Wen had been forced to leave. Otherwise, if Wang Wen had attacked, even if he could not kill because of the karmic restraints, he could have severely injured all the powerhouses of human civilization. It was not even clear if the Primogenitor could stabilize the three universes.
Wang Wen's departure was the cornerstone of this war's victory from the very beginning.
It could be said that Master Qinglian Yu had known about the existence of the Balance Envoy from the very beginning until now. He had exiled Wang Wen at the beginning of the war. That moment had allowed the three universes to be preserved, and that moment had changed history.
Master Qinglian Yu also looked at the Grass Master.
The Grass Master pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Wang Wen's goal is to prevent you from creating a way to transfer the karmic restraints through Ni Bie Luo. At this time, whether it's contacting Ni Bie Luo or preventing him from joining the unknown, it will touch Wang Wen's nerves. Thus, we can't do anything."
"Before we see Wang Wen's methods, anything can cause human civilization to fall into the abyss." The more he understood Wang Wen, the more he feared him.
Even Lu Yin was extremely fearful, let alone the Grass Master, who had been watching Wang Wen for countless years.
"However, we can let someone else contact him. Someone that even Wang Wen cannot predict," the Grass Master said.
"Divine Master?" Lu Yin suggested.
The Grass Master shook his head. "Everything in the past will not be out of Wang Wen's expectations. If I'm not wrong, the Divine Master might not be on our side now." Lu Yin thought about it and agreed. The Divine Master was a fence-sitter. He would follow whoever helped him.
Wang Wen was too powerful. He had always suppressed human civilization. He was also the Balance Envoy of the unknown. He was special within the unknown.
Master Qinglian Yu said, "Everything in the past cannot be contacted. Then, it can only be a newcomer." The Grass Master looked at Lu Yin. "Red Hero."
"Red Hero?"
"Red Hero?" Lu Yin and Master Qinglian Yu were shocked.
They had never considered Red Hero.
The Grass Master said, "Only Red Hero can help us."
In the Red Coat universe under the stars, the blood tower was restored. Jiu Wen sat cross-legged. He looked calm, but he was actually anxious.
He had been hit. Although he did not know what kind of power it was, he knew that he had lost his self-control for a period of time. He did not know what had happened in the outside world during this time.
It was very likely that something had happened to the three universes.
However, he could not leave. If something had really happened to the three universes, it would be too late for him to go. If they were safe, Lu Yin would eventually come. Lu Yin's teleportation speed was much faster than Jiu Wen going to the three universes.
He could only wait.
Time passed day by day. On this day, a figure suddenly appeared outside the blood tower. Jiu Wen looked over and was overjoyed. "Mister Lu." Lu Yin teleported to the Red Coat universe under the stars. The first person he saw was Jiu Wen.
Red Hero dared to attack the three universes because he was certain that the three universes would be destroyed. Secondly, Jiu Wen was trapped and could not affect Red Hero.
Master Qinglian Yu had broken out of his seal and threatened to help Jiu Wen escape. This forced Red Hero to retreat. Otherwise, they would have to face another powerful enemy.
"Senior, are you alright?" Lu Yin asked.
Jiu Wen hurriedly asked, "How is the three universes?" Lu Yin's expression was solemn as he slowly explained the war between the three universes. Jiu Wen was dumbfounded.
Those powerhouses were all stronger than him. Among them, there were even existences that surpassed Red Hero. They had attacked the three universes with all their might, but the three universes had withstood it.
"Mister Lu, have you broken through to immortality?"
"If not for my breakthrough, I would not be here anymore."
Jiu Wen immediately looked at Lu Yin's wrist. Lu Yin had never hidden anything. He had killed Skywalker in the end so that his karmic bindings would be close to perfection to reassure Wang Wen. Thus, he would not hide anything from anyone.
It would be best if the entire Core Space knew about it.
That way, human civilization would be safe. No one would want to fight to the death with a powerhouse whose karmic bindings were close to perfection. At the same time, he could use this to conceal his clone's movements.
Jiu Wen looked at the karmic bindings on Lu Yin's wrist that were close to perfection.
He knew that he had many karmic bindings, but they could not compare to Lu Yin's.
Countless ordinary cultivators could not compare to an Eternal Realm cultivator's karmic bindings. However, Lu Yin had not killed ordinary Eternal Realm cultivators. He had killed at least Eternal Realm cultivators who had fused with two universes' peak existences. Among them, there had even been Skywalker, an absolute existence.
Jiu Wen felt sorry for Lu Yin when he was restricted right after breaking through to immortality.
But what could he do?
If not for this, the three universes would have been destroyed.
"It's been hard on you." Jiu Wen's gaze dimmed.
The West Upper Peak had also seen Lu Yin's actions. He was both shocked and impressed. Everyone said that the Heartless Path was ruthless, but it was not qualified to be compared to Mister Lu.
The Heartless Path's ruthlessness, whether it was towards oneself or others, was aimed at climbing higher. However, Mister Lu had cut off his own path of retreat when he reached the end. This courage was far more ruthless than the Heartless Path's.
"Senior, are you alright?" Lu Yin asked.
