Thousand Trickery did not keep an eye on him. He knew that Lu Yin had gone to the unknown, but he still did not keep an eye on him.
Lu Yin took the initiative to look for Thousand Trickery. "I told Eight Colors that I want to return to Changtian, but she said that Changtian is not in the unknown."
He was not lying about this. If he blamed Changtian's disappearance on the unknown, he would reap what he sowed.
Thousand Trickery was surprised. "It wasn't done by the unknown?
Then who was it? "
Lu Yin said, "Eight Colors doesn't know."
Thousand Trickery sighed. "Then forget it. It's a pity that we lost the Ten-Eyed Crow talent for nothing."
Lu Yin wanted to say something but hesitated.
Thousand Trickery glanced at him. "Just say what you want to say."
Lu Yin said, "Is it possible?
That Changtian was deliberately captured? "
Thousand Trickery was stunned. He looked at Lu Yin without saying anything.
Lu Yin said, "I don't mean to offend you, Senior, but Changtian belongs to the Fourth Stronghold's Heavenly Eye Tribe. The Heavenly Eye Tribe disappeared during the War of the Nine Bases, so the possibility of them suddenly reappearing is very slim. Besides, if they really did appear, where are the other people from the Fourth Stronghold?
Since Changtian was captured and brought here, it means that he did not appear far from here. There shouldn't be any wars involving the entire fishing civilization around here, right? "
"That's why I'm guessing. The biggest question is, if that's really what I'm guessing, why would he deliberately be captured?
I can't figure it out. "
Thousand Trickery looked away. "On purpose?"
"It's not impossible."
"Is it possible?
I'm just guessing based on common sense. Otherwise, it would be too strange for Changtian to disappear, "Lu Yin said.
Thousand Trickery looked at the sky. "I still underestimated the Fourth Stronghold. They were able to escape from the Nine Bases Battlefield back then, so they must be quite strong.
I really don't know how strong the Fourth Stronghold is. "
"It's impossible to say that they're targeting me. I've never fought with the Fourth Stronghold before. The only possibility is that they're targeting the entire Death Universe because the one who captured him was Rou Shi Xun's clone."
Lu Yin did not dwell on this matter and stopped talking about it.
"There's one more thing. I don't want to lie to you."
"You told them that the Death Universe is about to go to war with the unknown?"
"Yes."
"You're really honest."
"To gain the unknown's trust..
"But the information you've given is true."
Lu Yin looked at Trickster's back, "Really? Really?"
The Thousand Trickery looked back at Lu Yin and smiled, "It's true, it's true."
Lu Yin stared at the Thousand Trickery intently, "I'm willing to make up for it, but please believe me. I was only trying to gain the Unknown's trust. The Eight Colors trust me a lot, and if the Death Universe requires it, I can lure the Unknown out to kill me."
Qian Ji slyly laughed, "Which unknown?"
"Whatever. As long as it's possible, I can lure it out," Lu Yin said. "Right now, the one I'm most confident in is the Azure Unknown."
He did not hesitate to betray Da Mao. If he could use Da Mao's Life Power to gain the Death Universe's trust and even allow him to be the Abyss, that would be the best outcome.
Trickery didn't care. "Not for now. The game between the dead universe and the unknown can't be decided by one or two traitors. Whether it's you, the toad, or the existence hiding in the unknown that helps us, none of you can decide the real situation. Your existence only brings some fun to this game."
"That's all."
Lu Yin looked at the Thousand Trickery in astonishment.
To say such words, was that really the case?
Impossible.
Toad Ol 'Six had already climbed to the Abyss and killed Rou Shi Xun. The existence that helped the Death Universe was even more unknown. The remaining Unknowns were not simple. How could it be just for fun?
But when he thought about the bet between Wang Wen and Trickery, it seemed like they did not care about his identity as a traitor at all. This made the Thousand Trickery's words inexplicably credible.
"Anything else?" the Thousand Trickery asked.
Lu Yin said, "Through the Unknowns, I know where the Butterfly Ancestor is."
The Thousand Trickery nodded, "This is your mission. I gave it to you, not the Death Universe. If you don't want to kill the Butterfly Ancestor, it's up to you."
Lu Yin said respectfully, "Senior, if you want me to kill the Butterfly Ancestor, I will do everything I can to complete it."
The Thousand Trickery's lips curled up, and sparks suddenly appeared on its half mechanical head. Lu Yin was worried that it would explode, "That's what you said to the Eight Colors in the Unknowns, right?"
Lu Yin was speechless.
The Thousand Trickery's voice sounded, "Go if you want. The ruins of the Taiqing Dynasty on the Butterfly Ancestor's back are valuable references. Also, a life-and-death battle with the Butterfly Ancestor will help you break through the limits of your potential. This is a method. Although it's not very efficient, it's worth a try. Consider it as saving me some effort."
Lu Yin asked, "Then when will I go?"
"Up to you." The Thousand Trickery did not care.
Lu Yin thought for a moment, "For now, I won't have any improvement in my combat power. Since I know the Butterfly Ancestor's whereabouts, I have to keep an eye on it even if I don't take action. This way, I will go now."
The Thousand Trickery grunted, "But if you go now …
You will miss the Abyss selection. "
Lu Yin smiled bitterly, "Senior, you don't want me to become the Abyss. I won't join in the fun."
The Thousand Trickery did not speak, its back facing him.
Lu Yin bowed to it again, took out the door, and left.
This door led to Knowtrace. His bone avatar shouldn't have a door that led directly to the Butterfly Ancestor. He had to go through Knowtrace.
After Lu Yin left, the Thousand Trickery tapped its thigh, "I used my brain in unnecessary places. Forget it, I'll just treat it as a form of entertainment."
Lu Yin entered Knowtrace through the door and went to the Habitat Universe to see Da Mao.
"Perhaps Soft Devouring Zongxun's death made the Thousand Trickery unhappy with me. It wants me to kill the Butterfly Ancestor as soon as possible. It can't wait a few hundred years." Lu Yin's tone was low.
Da Mao felt pity, "Alright, that human civilization is lucky. Contact the toad and we'll attack together."
Lu Yin was grateful, "Thank you for your help."
"You're welcome."
"Senior, please send me to the location closest to the Butterfly Ancestor. I'll find a chance to attack." The bone avatar couldn't find the Butterfly Ancestor easily. He needed Da Mao's help.
Lu Yin had to consider Thousand Trickery from the perspective of the avatar and the dead universe. He also had to consider Da Mao from the perspective of the avatar and the unknown.
"Alright." Da Mao took out the door.
"There's one more thing I need to trouble you with. Of course, if it's not possible, you don't have to worry."
"What is it?
Just say it. "
Lu Yin paused, "Give the dead universe some pressure."
Da Mao didn't understand, "What do you mean?"
"I previously guessed that there was a dead universe within the unknown, and now it's been confirmed.
News of the war between the dead universe and the unknown was spread to Knowtrace, and Thousand Trickery revealed it as soon as I returned. It might be because of this that it's unhappy with me and forced me to kill the Butterfly Ancestor. "
Lu Yin paused for a moment before continuing, "Now that this matter is clear, I hope that the unknown can pressure the dead universe and ensure that Thousand Trickery doesn't keep an eye on me."
Da Mao roared, "There really is a spy! Hmph, don't let me find out who it is, or I'll kill it."
"Senior's loyalty to the unknown is admirable."
"It's not because of the unknown, but because this matter affects me."
"Hmm?"
"Forget it, I understand what you mean. I'll try my best to prevent Thousand Trickery from spying on you, right?"
"Thank you, senior."
Lu Yin stepped through the door and disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already in another region of space. He didn't know where this place was, and he didn't need to know. He sat down cross-legged and awakened his main body.
In the Habitat universe, Da Mao looked in the direction of Thousand Trickery's abyss and walked out.
In the Tian Yuan universe, Lu Yin opened his eyes and teleported away.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of the bone clone. This place was very close to the Tian Yuan universe, and he couldn't hesitate. Otherwise, the connection would be severed.
He brought the bone clone back to the Tian Yuan universe and calculated the coordinates. He then looked in a certain direction and teleported away.
He was going to the Taiqing civilization.
Since Patriarch Shan had written down the coordinates on a piece of black armor, it couldn't be useless. After all, the information written on the armor was for the human civilization and the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad.
The ruins of the Taiqing civilization were very far away, even farther than the Immortal Plume Tree.
If one were to look at the mother tree that stood tall, it would be separated by three branches.
The three universes were separated by several branches.
Those branches were hard to see with the naked eye, and they couldn't be touched. Only a small branch growing out of the branches could be seen and touched, and that was the mother tree.
The only thing that Lu Yin didn't understand was that since the mother tree was only a small branch, it must be fixed to the largest mother tree. How did it move?
This should have something to do with the invisible and untouchable branches.
Lu Yin teleported again and again until he finally arrived at the coordinates. He saw four universes that were connected in pairs, and from a distance, they looked like a cube.
He had never seen such a universe before.
It was definitely not a coincidence that the universes were so close to each other. It was just like how the Ninth Heaven Universe covered the spiritualized universe.
This was the ruins of the Taiqing civilization.
Lu Yin looked around and saw black mountain ranges everywhere. They stretched endlessly and covered the entire universe. There was no sunlight, and it was filled with loneliness and darkness. It was even more like the abyss of death than the abyss of Thousand Trickery.
Ordinary people couldn't stay in such an environment.
Even so, there were still creatures of all sizes. They all had pointed heads and black bodies that ran through the mountains.
There were no cultivators in the four universes, and they were similar to ordinary desert planets in the universe.
Lu Yin teleported into the universe and instantly scanned the four universes. There really weren't any cultivators, and even if there were many creatures running about, it still gave him a sense of desolation.
His consciousness continued to explore the four universes and discovered many traces of sourcebox arrays. He also found quite a few sourcebox boxes. These materials were very valuable, and Lu Yin put them away. Unfortunately, the sourcebox arrays were all gone, and he didn't know if they had been naturally damaged or if they had been released by the Taiqing civilization.
Logically speaking, after the Taiqing had left, these sourcebox boxes should have been left behind.
This kind of material was useful to them.
Or could it be that these sourcebox boxes had been brought here by some other creatures after the Taiqing had left?
Lu Yin walked around and continuously searched for traces of the Taiqing civilization. He was very interested in their sourcebox arrays.
