"Are you happy?" Lu Yin suddenly asked.
Red Hero was stunned by these simple words.
Happy?
Was he happy?
"When was the last time you laughed?" Lu Yin asked again.
Red Hero stared at him blankly.
Lu Yin met his gaze. "When was the last time you were truly happy?"
"When was the last time you told someone about your worries?"
"When was the last time you were reluctant to let someone go?"
Red Hero frowned. "Shut up."
Lu Yin continued, "When was the last time you drank?"
"Shut up!" Red Hero shouted.
"When was the last time you felt heartache?"
"When was the last time you cried?"
"I told you to shut up!" Red Hero roared, staring at Lu Yin crazily.
Lu Yin looked at Red Hero. "When was the last time you felt at ease?"
Red Hero panted heavily, his gaze ferocious and terrifying as if he wanted to devour someone.
Lu Yin shook his head and clasped his hands behind his back. "You remember. You remember everything. That's why you're so angry. You're angry not at yourself, but at your spirit. What makes you think you can control everything now?
Do you still think your spirit should listen to you? "
Red Hero gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, the surrounding void turning red.
"The more you care about something, the more it feels like a sharp blade piercing your heart. Red Hero, you're pitiful, really pitiful," Lu Yin said.
Red Hero exhaled heavily and finally calmed down. He closed his eyes.
"Whether or not the world is a game, what we seek is only 'peace of mind'. Only peace of mind."
Lu Yin turned to look into the distance. "Senior Jiu Wen is an Eternal Realm cultivator, and he's compatible with two laws of the universe, but he's willing to die.
He's seeking peace of mind. I don't know what the meaning of life is, but I know that a person's true happiness is more important than anything else. "
"I envy those children who can be carefree and happy, but we can't go back."
Red Hero opened his eyes and regained his composure. "Everyone pursues different things. I'm not wrong, but you may not be either."
Lu Yin nodded and sighed. "Yes, you value life, so cherish it. Don't let others play you to death."
Red Hero's eyes flashed as the Soft Universe, Wang Wen, the eight colors, and various other unknown things flashed through his mind. He then gave Lu Yin a set of coordinates, said something, and left.
Lu Yin sighed in relief; he'd finally found it.
These coordinates should be where Ni Beiro was.
He decisively headed towards the coordinates, not suspecting Red Hero at all. The current him was not someone that Red Hero could deal with with just one or two coordinates. If they could deal with him, they would not have waited until now. They could have done it when they first gave him the coordinates.
There was a world of difference between him and his past self.
The coordinates given by Red Hero were relatively far away, beyond the thousand-year range with the three universes as the center.
Thinking back to the time when Nibeiro was able to kill his way into the three universes, it was all thanks to the unknown white door. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to do it just by relying on its bridge.
No matter how far it was, as long as he had the coordinates, he would be able to reach it.
..........................................................
.. No wonder the Unknown Universe was so anxious to start a war with Mudwater Kingdom. So this was the reason.
When he'd cut down the Immortal Plume Tree and absorbed the boundless green light, he'd seen a huge tree.
It was a boundless tree, one that was unimaginably huge. It seemed to encompass everything he knew, and the Immortal Plume Tree was just a small branch.
That was what he'd seen.
Back then, he hadn't been sure if what he'd seen was real or not. He'd wondered if he'd been hallucinating because he'd absorbed too much green light. He'd wanted to use the unknown reward to obtain knowledge, but Eight Colors had told him that knowledge required the reward of a Six Stars mission, which had stopped him in his tracks.
The reward of a Six Stars mission was to use the sword left behind by Wang Wen to cut down the Immortal Plume Tree while Xian Ling was away. Even if Lu Yin was given another chance, he wasn't confident that he could do it.
Even now, he wasn't confident that he could do it. Xian Ling cared more about him and wouldn't let him take advantage of the situation.
In other words, the reward of a Six Stars mission could only be encountered by chance. Of course, he wouldn't use such a valuable reward to exchange for knowledge. After all, that knowledge didn't mean much to him back then.
Now, there was no need to exchange for it. Lu Yin had broken through to the Eternal Realm. He'd seen the same scene at first glance, but it was different. After absorbing the green light of the Immortal Plume Tree, he'd seen a vertical tree that was boundless. The countless branches were mother trees, and each mother tree was rooted in a universe.
However, the tree he'd seen after breaking through to the Eternal Realm was crooked. Yes, it was crooked.
But he knew that it wasn't the tree that was crooked. It was their perception of the surrounding starry sky and their perception of the Square Inch that was crooked.
The most straightforward explanation would be that they were on a branch that had grown crooked, so much so that it was as if
The tree he'd seen was crooked, but the position of the Immortal Plume Tree, or rather, the branch where the Immortal Plume Tribe was located, was in the same direction as the tree, so what he'd seen was straight.
The tree's roots were intertwined, and the branches could droop, be straight up, or be slanted.
If he hadn't guessed wrong, the reason why the unknown had started a war with the Mudwater Kingdom was because the Mudwater Kingdom was close to the intersection of the unknown's branch and the mother tree's trunk. Although it was just a guess, Lu Yin was sure that his guess was correct.
If the universe was a big tree, then the branches were naturally not as important as the trunk.
If one wanted to come into contact with the trunk, one had to either climb up from the bottom or grab a branch and move toward the trunk.
The Mudwater Kingdom had approached this branch and caused a war.
Back then, he hadn't been able to see it clearly, but now he understood. This meant that he had a way to make the unknown start a war with other civilizations. It was as if he could step on the unknown's tail at any time.
Lu Yin's eyes flickered as he looked at the deep starry sky. But was this the true face of the Square Inch?
The distance of a square inch was an incomparably huge mother tree?
No, if it was the mother tree, then everything should exist on it. However, the Mudwater Kingdom clearly hadn't touched the largest mother tree. Instead, it was suspended in the starry sky outside the mother tree.
Seeing the mother tree didn't mean that he could see the Square Inch clearly.
Lu Yin didn't tell anyone what he had seen, as he didn't know how others could see it. Was it related to his cultivation?
Or was it related to the green dot?
He didn't rashly confirm any of these, as he still needed to take things step by step.
Right now, he only knew that his biological senses weren't accurate. The mother tree he had seen was clearly crooked, but if he couldn't see it, then the universe would still be the same.
Actually …
There was no direction in the universe.
He had arrived at the coordinates, but he didn't see the Mudwater Kingdom.
The coordinates that Red Hero had given him couldn't be so accurate that he could see the Mudwater Kingdom. He didn't belong to the Mudwater Kingdom, so these coordinates might have been obtained from a war.
Lu Yin looked around and could only look into the distance, hoping to find it.
Several years passed, and Lu Yin looked in every direction. Finding a civilization in the vast universe was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. He set a time for himself, and if he couldn't find it, then he would stop looking.
On this day, when he unintentionally repeated the direction he had been looking in, he saw that the civilization that he had seen before was gone.
A universal civilization was gone, and Lu Yin confirmed it over and over again. Yes, he had seen a civilization in this direction before, but it was gone now. The answer was simple: it had been recorded. The Mud Doll specifically recorded civilizations.
Lu Yin teleported to the outside of the civilization's universe and gently tapped the void, causing ripples to spread out in all directions.
The ripples were extremely fast, but the fluctuations were very weak. Ordinary Eternal Realm experts might not be able to detect them.
Suddenly, Lu Yin looked in a direction and found it.
In the dark starry sky, a cement-like object moved slowly. If one didn't look carefully, they would think that it was a meteorite. Its appearance was exactly the same as a meteorite, so who would think that it was a pseudo-Immortal-level expert?
The more he came into contact with the Core Space, the more he realized that although some life forms couldn't give birth to Eternal Realm experts in large numbers, they were looking for various ways to give birth to pseudo-Immortal-level experts.
For example, the Divine Realm's civilization and the Mudwater Kingdom in front of him.
The Divine Realm's civilization had a prescribed pattern in its own body and continued to expand until it merged with the Core Space, creating a different kind of eternal life.
The Mudwater Kingdom was written in the Mud Doll's body with the civilization's ink, which came from the civilization itself.
When the ink was consumed, it would fall to the Eternal Realm. But as long as the ink was still there, it would always be a pseudo-Immortal-level expert.
Lu Yin had thought of adding similar methods to human civilization. The closest method was the Nirvana Tree Technique and the Mastery Realm's battle force transforming into vitality.
But these two methods were not easy.
The Nirvana Tree Technique lacked green light spots, and even if it was spread out on a large scale, if the cultivator was not at the limit of combat power below the Eternal Realm, they would not be able to jump to the Rogue Level.
The Mastery Realm's battle force was more difficult. It needed to transform battle force into vitality. In this way, with the help of vitality and eternal matter, one could fight against ordinary Eternal Realm experts. But so far, only Lu Yin and the Ancient Gods had done it. Even Jiang Feng, who had already comprehended the Mastery Realm's battle force, had not done it.
It was not that Jiang Feng was not bold enough, but he had focused on breaking through to the Eternal Realm. The Grass Master had deprived him of his knowledge and past. He had overcome difficulties to break through to the Eternal Realm and had no time to experience the Mastery Realm's battle force.
When Lu Yin went to White Cloud City and saw Jiang Feng removing his realm and walking the path of immortality, he also reminded him that it might be more convenient to transform his battle force into the Mastery Realm and have the strength of a Rogue Level.
With Jiang Feng's boldness, he could definitely do it.
Whether it was the Nirvana Tree Technique or the Mastery Realm's battle force, they required the cultivator's own achievements. They could not do it just by giving them a method.
Human civilization lacked a method to rely on time to create pseudo-Immortal-level experts.
He teleported and appeared in front of the Mud Doll. The Mud Doll stared at Lu Yin blankly. Although it had no eyes, ears, mouth, or nose, Lu Yin could see through its thoughts.
"Are you surprised?
There's also fear. It seems that you recognize me, "Lu Yin said.
The Mud Doll said, "I don't recognize you."
Lu Yin stared at it and suddenly realized, "I remember.
You're here. After I defeated the Mud Blade in the war between the unknown and the Mud Kingdom, you found us but were scared away, right? "
"You're really unlucky."
