In fact, if it weren't for the countless years of accumulation that allowed the dead universe to know the location of certain civilizations, the time would have been even longer.
Capturing tributaries of the River of Time wasn't difficult. The difficult part was not being drawn by the main River of Time, and even more difficult was finding civilizations. Finding tributaries of the River of Time was the most time-consuming.
If this matter could be completed in a thousand years, it would prove that the Death Universe did not see one civilization destroying another. They also had a choice.
It was just that Lu Yin didn't know the criteria.
Another few decades passed, and one day, Myriad Trickery suddenly found Lu Yin and gave him a set of coordinates. He then asked him to deal with the civilization that was located there.
Lu Yin was surprised. "This civilization isn't too far away. Why are you settling it now?"
Qian Ji slyly said, "It's not too far, but it's not too close either. The position of the abyss changes, so I can't see everything around it."
"And this civilization sent me a signal of the dead universe."
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. "A signal from the dead universe?"
"They're using a sourcebox array to send out a signal that only my undead universe can detect. This is the fishing civilization of the undead universe. Don't you know about them?"
Lu Yin replied naturally, "I know. It's just that we call it something different. We call it Frequency."
"The meaning is the same. Since there is a signal, you should go and deal with it. This is the duty of a creature from the dead universe." Qian Ji said craftily.
Now that Lu Yin had left, was he obligated to do so?
Back in Nine Firmaments Universe, Chu Zhan's goal had been to gather sourcebox arrays. He had gathered the sourcebox arrays of an entire civilization and sent them out to attract the universe of death.
That was the signal he was receiving now.
The human civilization had stopped the Death Universe, but other civilizations might not be able to do so.
That civilization is thousands of miles away.
The Trickery Abyss had a distance of several decades at the speed of an Eternal Life Realm, which was equivalent to three universes to where the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad was. The distance was not far for him now, but the range was extremely wide. If he did not see this distance, he would not be able to completely understand the surroundings.
It was a civilization filled with barbarism and violence. Their intelligence seemed to have been suppressed, resulting in this civilization to resolve all conflicts by force. The war never stopped.
Because of this, no one knew that this civilization's sourceboxes had been taken away.
The strongest powerhouse of this civilization was at the Great Circle of the Crossing Bitter Disaster Realm. It was reasonable to say that powerhouses at this level had extremely high requirements for their state of mind.
However, different species had different ways of breaking through and different states of mind.
The attribute of this civilization was violence and barbaric competition. If one wanted to cultivate in this civilization, they had to conform to the same cultivation attribute.
If a person entered this civilization alone, they would never be able to cultivate to this level because the entire civilization was interfering with them.
This was the civilization effect.
Lu Yin found the dead cosmic lifeform that had released the signal. It was the skeleton of a civilization's lifeform, and he collected all of the sourceboxes from that civilization. He then set up a familiar sourcebox array.
He took away the cultivators of this civilization and bestowed them with the Bone Language. He brought them into the abyss of a thousand trickeries and threw them underground.
This was the first time he had bestowed the Bone Language upon a civilization. It was cruel, but true.
It would be too hypocritical to say that he had no other choice, but this was the law of survival in the universe.
After returning to the Abyss of Thousand Trickeries, the Abyss of Thousand Trickeries didn't care about those skeletal creatures.
As usual, he had Lu Yin try to fuse the two forces together.
Some time later, Lu Yin asked about the change in the Abyss's location.
"Junior mainly wants to know about the Habitat Universe.
Why is your relationship with my Death Universe so close? You clearly know that there are unknowns around you, yet you don't deal with them. "
Thousand Trickery snapped his fingers. "Because of our tacit understanding."
"Tacit understanding?"
"Yes, the tacit understanding between the unknowns and the Death Universe. You can also understand it as the tacit understanding between behemoths."
Thousand Trickery sat down and smiled at Lu Yin. "You still can't see the truth of this Core Space. Once you do, you'll understand. The Habitat Universe happens to be divided into two regions."
The Mother Tree that covered the entire Core Space appeared in Lu Yin's mind.
Two regions?
"It's easy to kill an unknowns, but it's not worth it to start a war. Civilizations interact with each other, and this interaction is reflected in both sides' estimation of each other's strength. Interaction doesn't necessarily have to be a conversation," Thousand Trickery explained.
Lu Yin nodded. "Junior understands. Actually, it's fortunate that there's an unknowns around. Otherwise, Junior would be dead for sure."
Thousand Trickery smiled. "Do you know which two abysses are closest to us?"
The Seven Abysses were separated from the Death Universe. The Great Death Shift could connect the Seven Abysses to the Death Universe itself, which meant that each abyss must have two of its closest neighbors.
"Which two?"
"Ruthless Descent and Samsara. Oh, it's that little toad now."
Lu Yin was shocked. "The Samsara abyss is next to us?"
Thousand Trickery nodded.
"Then why did the toad come from another direction when fighting for the position of abyss?"
Lu Yin didn't understand. He clearly saw the toad come from the direction of the Death Universe, and it should have been the closest to the abyss.
Thousand Trickery
Thousand Trickery replied, "It's very confident and calculated the time accurately. It wanted to finish off the enemy as quickly as possible, so it should have gone in another direction. I didn't ask."
That pure black creature had fought with Old Six five times. According to Old Six, that creature should have come from the Ruthless Descent abyss, and that abyss was right next to it. This meant that if it wanted to take control of the Samsara abyss, it would have to go through the Thousand Trickery Abyss or go to the Death Universe's location first before taking control of the Samsara abyss.
Did Old Six want to avoid fighting with that creature in advance, or did it know that the creature would take the second path and go to deal with it in advance?
Lu Yin couldn't understand the toad's thoughts.
Ignoring everything else, Lu Yin looked at the distance. Now that he had a rough understanding of the Thousand Trickery Abyss, it would be easy to find it once he returned to his main body.
However, this abyss wasn't too far away from the three universes. It was estimated to be close to two thousand years at the speed of an Eternal Life Realm. This distance was normally quite far, but the other party was a colossus like the Death Universe, so it wasn't far.
Lu Yin continued to try to fuse the two forces with a heavy heart.
Another few decades passed, and on this day, he suddenly looked up at the starry sky. Something had entered.
He could see far away with the Mirroring Technique, but he couldn't always stare at the distance.
In the starry sky, a white color fell and smashed into the ground with a loud bang.
Lu Yin stared into the distance. It was Rou Yuzhou's clone.
Did the Thousand Trickery Abyss also have a clone of Rou Yuzhou?
Rou Yuzhou's clone spread out across the distance in order to find and capture Eternal Life Realms and bestow the Bone Language.
The number of Eternal Life Realm skeletal creatures in the Death Universe.
Almost every abyss had a clone of Rou Yuzhou, but Lu Yin hadn't seen one since he came to the Thousand Trickery Abyss.
Suddenly, Lu Yin stood up and looked in shock at the creature wrapped in Rou Yuzhou's clone. Was that … Chang Tian?
Lu Yin wondered if he had seen wrongly, or if he had fallen into some kind of fantasy power of the Thousand Trickery Abyss?
How could it be Chang Tian?
Chang Tian was a character from four thousand years ago, so how could he suddenly appear here?
Four thousand years ago, Lu Yin and the Stargate Protector had found the Eternal Life Realm through the Meteor Realm. He had also confirmed that the Eternal Life Realm was the fourth stronghold of the Nine Strongholds, the Celestial Eye Clan.
Eight hundred years later, the Meteor Realm had reappeared. He had wanted to find the Eternal Life Realm, but the Meteor Realm had been severed by Wang Wen's sword. That sword had also severely injured the Stargate Protector and almost split the three universes into two.
From that moment on, he knew that Wang Wen was limiting the height of human civilization. He didn't allow the Eternal Life Realm to communicate with the three universes and didn't allow human civilization to become stronger.
It was also from then on that Lu Yin became more and more anxious.
However, he hadn't been able to find a good solution even after the war between the three universes. He could only sacrifice himself and use karma to lower Wang Wen's wariness while using his clone to wander through the darkness and support the light.
It could be said that if he had been able to unite the Eternal Life Realm and the three universes, then that war would not have been so difficult. If Wang Wen wanted to restrict human civilization, then he would have to use the entire unknown power.
That was because the Eternal Life Realm was very strong.
Chang Huu was an old monster, and his strength might not be any weaker than Patriarch Shan's.
If, if, they were all ifs.
There were no ifs in the world.
In the end, they were still with the Eternal Life Realm.
He had missed it.
Almost four thousand years had passed since he had first met Chang Tian, and Lu Yin had never expected that they would meet again under such circumstances.
He wasn't in a hurry to take a look, as he couldn't act differently at this time.
However, he was curious as to why Chang Tian was here.
Could there be a Eternal Life Realm nearby?
In the distance, on the ground, Rou Yuzhou's clone was slowly flowing.
Actor of a Thousand Trickery walked over step by step and looked at the unconscious Chang Tian. His lips curled up as he waved at Lu Yin, indicating for him to come over.
Lu Yin took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions before walking over to Actor of a Thousand Trickery.
"What is this?
Why does he look so human? "Lu Yin asked.
The Eternal Life Realm had used some unknown method to conceal their human appearance, turning their entire body green. There were leaf-like patterns on the surface of their bodies, and vines covered their knees instead of legs.
Even though the upper half of their bodies resembled a human's, Lu Yin had no problem asking this question.
Actor of a Thousand Trickery sized up Chang Tian, "He is human."
Lu Yin was shocked, but his expression did not change, "Is that so?"
Actor of a Thousand Trickery suddenly slapped Chang Tian with his bear paw, and Lu Yin almost stopped him for fear that he would kill Chang Tian. Fortunately, he held himself back.
The paw landed on Chang Tian's forehead and tore off a piece of flesh from between his eyebrows. When that piece of flesh was torn off, an eye was revealed. At the same time, Chang Tian's appearance changed. The vines turned into legs, and the green color faded away. Even the leaf-like patterns faded away, and Chang Tian truly took on the appearance of a human.
Lu Yin stared at Chang Tian's forehead, "A third eye?"
Actor of a Thousand Trickery smiled happily and looked back at Rou Yuzhou's clone, "Well done, you've brought me a huge surprise. I'll give you another chance to break through your limits."
Rou Yuzhou's clone did not understand.
Instead, he leapt into the air and headed towards the Core.
