Wine Man shook his head. "I don't know what kind of power caused me to lose control of myself. By the time I regained my senses, Red Hero had already returned, and everything was over."
Lu Yin said, "The war didn't last long. They were aiming to destroy our three universes, and we were also trying to protect ourselves. As long as you're fine, it's fine." He thought for a moment and then said, "Senior, you don't have to stay here."
Wine Man did not understand.
At this point, Red Hero appeared. "What do you mean?"
Lu Yin stared coldly at Red Hero. "With my power level, even if I can't kill you, I can still drag you down with me. There's no need to sacrifice anyone else, even if you're ruthless."
Red Hero's gaze was cold. "You want to break the rules of the unknown?"
Lu Yin said, "Wang Wen forced me, so I can only drag you down with me."
Red Hero frowned. "What do you mean by that?"
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. "I only have one chance left. My original target was Wang Wen, but he's too unfathomable, and I'm not confident. My only remaining target is you, the Godking, or Ni Bieluo. Who do you think I'll choose?"
Red Hero's eyes narrowed. "You won't attack."
Lu Yin nodded. "Yes, logically speaking, I won't. But the world is unpredictable, and who can say for sure?
I don't want to attack, and I'd rather use this one chance to ensure the safety of our civilization. But that's all I hope for. The decision is not mine, but Wang Wen's. "
"If Wang Wen wants to destroy our civilization, he'll definitely force me to attack. Red Hero, I can guarantee that no matter what method Wang Wen uses to destroy our civilization, the only targets I'll drag down with me are you, the Godking, and Ni Bieluo.
I'll choose one of them. "
Red Hero's eyes flickered. Wang Wen?
He did not know if Wang Wen would attack the three universes again, and he could not guess Wang Wen's intentions.
Lu Yin would not take the initiative to attack, and he was not stupid. But he was right; the decision was in Wang Wen's hands.
Lu Yin's voice rang out again. "Wang Wen has invited Ni Bieluo to join the unknown. As for the Godking, our civilization's enmity with him isn't that great, so it can be ignored. You're the only one left."
Red Hero's tone was low: "Are you afraid of Ni Bie Luo?"
Lu Yin nodded. "Nibeiro can be considered an old monster that is compatible with all three laws of the universe. I was already apprehensive about attacking him, and if he joins the Unknowns, then I'll have even less confidence. They won't interfere in our battle, but you're different. At the very least, you don't give me as much pressure as Nibeiro."
Red Hero suddenly laughed coldly and mockingly. "Lu Yin, you're trying to use me to stop Ni Beiluo from joining the unknown, aren't you?"
Lu Yin nodded, "That's right, I'm using you."
Red Hero said, "Do you think I will help you?"
"What makes you think that between me and Nibeiro, if he doesn't join the Unknowns, you will definitely attack him?"
"Your hatred for me is far greater than Ni Beiluo's. Even Jiu Wen, Qing Lian, and the others hate me more than Ni Beiluo. Whether or not Ni Beiluo joined the Unknowns does not affect you from attacking me."
Lu Yin replied, "Then I'll give you a reason."
Red Hero stared into Lu Yin's eyes; he wanted to hear the reason.
Lu Yin said slowly, "Ni Beiluo comprehended the method of karma transfer. I want to deduce the method of karma binding and transfer based on the karma he comprehended."
Red Hero's eyes widened.
His eyes widened. "You want to transfer your karma binding?"
Lu Yin raised his hand and looked at his wrist. His eyes dimmed. "Everyone feels sorry for me, and I feel the same way.
I've just broken through to the Immortal Realm, but I'm restricted from attacking. If I can't even deal with a mortal, then what's the point of living as an Immortal Realm expert? "
"Do you know why Wang Wen invited Ni Beiluo to join the Unknowns?
He's afraid that I'll really comprehend this method. "At this point, he looked up and stared at Red Hero." What about you?
Are you afraid? "
Red Hero stared at Lu Yin's wrist in a daze. Afraid?
Of course, he was afraid.
If Lu Yin could really transfer the karma binding, not just him, even Wang Wen and the entire Unknowns and the Unknowns would be afraid.
But could it really be done?
Impossible. Since ancient times, there had been people who had mastered karma, but he had never heard of such a thing.
But what he cared about was not what Lu Yin said, but what Wang Wen did.
Wang Wen invited Ni Beiluo to join the Unknowns, which meant that he also thought that Lu Yin might have a chance to comprehend it. Therefore, he used the Unknowns' rules to prevent Lu Yin from attacking Ni Beiluo. Although he might not be able to defeat Ni Beiluo, Wang Wen did not intend to take this risk.
If Wang Wen thought that there was a chance, then Lu Yin would grasp it tightly. He was right. No one wanted to be unable to attack right after breaking through to the Immortal Realm.
Karma binding was the nightmare of all Immortal Realm experts.
He would definitely look for Ni Beiluo.
Then, this also meant that he would only have one chance to attack Ni Beiluo.
But if Ni Beiluo joined the Unknowns, then it would be troublesome.
Red Hero now understood what Lu Yin said. Lu Yin was scheming to force him to stop Ni Beiluo from joining the Unknowns so that he could attack Ni Beiluo without any scruples.
He was using his advantage.
He was using him.
Red Hero's eyes flickered. He didn't want to fight Lu Yin, who was almost a waste. He had to let him deal with Ni Beiluo. But it was Wang Wen who invited Ni Beiluo to join the Unknowns. If he stopped him, then he would become Wang Wen's enemy.
For a moment, Red Hero's thoughts were in chaos.
His thoughts were being affected by his enemy, Lu Yin.
Lu Yin nodded at Jiu Wen and left. There was no need to say anything else. The more he said, the more guilty he would seem.
Master Grass was right; only Red Hero could help him. Wang Wen would never have thought that it would be Red Hero, so Red Hero had to help him. Otherwise, there was a high chance that Red Hero would face his last chance to attack unless he was sure that Wang Wen wouldn't attack the human civilization again.
Could he be sure?
As he watched Lu Yin leave, Red Hero was distraught and looked at Jiu Wen.
Jiu Wen had no intention of leaving. He had already sent a message to Lu Yin, and his goal was still to restrain Red Hero.
Just as Lu Yin felt that Wang Wen was unfathomable, Jiu Wen also felt that Red Hero was unfathomable. Even if Lu Yin had broken through to the Immortal Realm and was confident that he could fight Red Hero at his peak, Jiu Wen still had to do his part. At the very least, he had to watch from here and make Red Hero feel apprehensive.
With Wang Wen's ability and his understanding of Lu Yin, Red Hero could easily destroy the three universes.
Red Hero had disappeared, and no one knew where he had gone.
Jiu Wen looked at the three universes, even though he couldn't see them. "Believe it or not, something that is as difficult as ascending to the heavens for us might not be the same for Mister Lu."
Xi Shangfeng nodded. "He's worthy of respect."
"I hope that he can walk a different path from everyone else," Jiu Wen muttered to himself.
He had heard the conversation between Lu Yin and Red Hero, and he knew that Lu Yin wanted to shift the karmic restraints.
Even Jiu Wen himself didn't believe that he could do it, or else he wouldn't have said it.
However, this didn't hinder Jiu Wen's hope. He hoped that Lu Yin could do it and lead the human civilization to leap forward and restore Ninth Base to its former glory.
No matter how powerful Qinglian was, she had never given him such a feeling.
Lu Yin was the only one who gave him hope.
Lu Yin returned to the Heaven Origin Universe and sat down at the back mountain of the Heaven above Heaven Sect.
Wei Rong had been waiting for him for some time.
"Sit."
Wei Rong didn't sit, but instead bowed to Lu Yin. "I've been with Wang Wen for thousands of years, but I still haven't been able to find his weakness. Please forgive me, Master Lu."
Lu Yin laughed. "I didn't have much hope in the first place. What kind of person do you think Wang Wen is?
Most people can't see through him, and even Mi Jin Shangyu — oh, Ancestor Hui — couldn't surpass him in terms of intelligence. Not only does he have intelligence, but he also has martial strength. "
"When I asked you to try, it was just a test. Don't take it to heart."
Ever since he had become suspicious of Wang Wen, Lu Yin had sought out Wei Rong and hinted that he should try to find Wang Wen's weakness. That was before Lu Yin had decided to join the unknown.
He had asked Wang Wen for his opinion on joining the unknown, and he had also asked for Wang Wen's opinion on many matters related to the unknown.
This was because Wang Wen's opinion was equivalent to that of the unknown.
Since Lu Yin had his suspicions, he naturally had to think of a way to deal with it.
Thus, Lu Yin had sought out Wei Rong.
This matter had only been mentioned vaguely, and he had never mentioned it again.
At the time, Wei Rong hadn't understood why Lu Yin had asked him to try to think of a way to deal with Wang Wen. Although he was smart, he had too little experience compared to Lu Yin, and he couldn't guess Wang Wen's identity. The only thing he could do was use his own thoughts to find Wang Wen's weakness.
However,
Even after Wang Wen had been exposed and the battle had begun, Wei Rong still hadn't been able to find it.
Wei Rong had a complicated expression. "I've always considered myself smart, but I'm still lacking compared to Wang Wen. I'm also lacking compared to Master Lu."
Lu Yin laughed. "You're too modest. I have no clue, so I can only ask you to try."
Wei Rong's expression was solemn. "Over the years, I've frequently interacted with Wang Wen, and he has never rejected me. He's no different from before. To be honest, I've never understood why Master Lu would have such a plan. Only now do I see it clearly."
"Wang Wen has absolute martial strength. Even if he attacked you, you wouldn't know. That's why he's invulnerable," Lu Yin explained.
Long Xi poured tea for them.
"Alright, sit down. This matter has nothing to do with you," Lu Yin said.
Wei Rong sat down.
Long Xi glanced at Wei Rong and silently retreated without saying anything.
Wang Wen was an unknown Envoy of Balance. Aside from Lu Yin, who else could accept this?
Wei Rong and Wang Wen had known each other for thousands of years, and they had competed on the Outerverse battlefield. Together with Qiong Xi 'er, they were known as the three smartest people in the Outerverse.
Over the years, they had become friends.
Long Xi also viewed Wang Wen as Lu Yin's solver. Whenever Lu Yin had any troubles, she would look for Wang Wen to resolve them, and Wang Wen was indeed capable of doing so.
She had never imagined that Wang Wen would be humanity's greatest enemy.
Lu Yin took a sip of tea and looked at Long Xi.
Long Xi had already left, and her figure gradually disappeared.
Lu Yin sighed. Today's tea was much more bitter than before.
"Master Lu, Wang Wen is able to predict the enemy's movements, and he's able to set up a comprehensive plan. He can control everything, but it's not like I haven't gained anything over the years." Wei Rong muttered to himself for a moment, and then faced Lu Yin's doubtful gaze.
"This kind of plan … There's only one way to defeat them."
"Strange!"
"Strange?" Lu Yin looked pensive.
