The so-called Divine Palace was a behemoth that bestowed the position of God. Every creature that wanted to become a God had to be recognized and blessed by the Divine Palace before they could have the means of a God. Gods were divided into God of War, God of Enlightenment, God of Teleportation, God of Spiritual Communication, and so on.
Here, although the word God was high and mighty, it had lost the aura of omnipotence. Even a mortal could command a God to do something as long as they could pay the price.
Here, the price a God needed the most was time.
Every living being had their own time, and so did mortals.
Time was quantified.
Lu Yin looked at the deep starry sky. Energy quantified time required time. This reminded him of the Lord's River of Time's chaos on his Square Inch. It was also harvesting time.
At the same time, he also thought of Wang Wen's words. The Square Inch they were in was very chaotic. Even a fishing civilization like the Divine World had failed and left. It was completely different from here.
It seemed that he had to take a closer look.
Lu Yin promised to give them time and let them wait around.
This group didn't suspect anything, as they didn't have the right to do so. This was especially true when they saw Lu Yin take a step forward, vanish, and then reappear with another step. They deeply understood that it wasn't them who had surrounded this creature, but rather that this creature hadn't left.
The initiative was in Lu Yin's hands from the beginning.
Seeing the creatures leave, Lu Yin raised his hand. Xiang City was in his palm. It was so small that it was almost invisible.
Who would have thought that such a small thing could take away two universes, the distance that an ordinary Eternal Realm could travel in a year.
Even a tributary of the Moonflow River could be taken away?
Lu Yin entered Xiang City and looked for Qinglian Shangyu and the others.
Only now did he see the Tianyuan Universe and Jiuxiao Universe clearly.
These two universes had completely changed because of the chaos caused by the Lord's power.
Whether it was the creatures or the geographical structure, even time and space had changed.
Countless people had more or less changed. Some were old, some were young, some had lost their power, and some were directly reduced to mortals. Even more were buried in the ground.
No one could avoid it.
This calamity was a natural disaster for cultivators.
All the Eternal Realms gathered together.
"I never thought that I would be so unfamiliar with my power. At that moment, it was as if my power had a spirit and wanted to leave my body." Mister Mu sighed.
Imperial Blue Lotus's expression turned solemn. "Karma is completely out of control. The Karma Celestial Phenomenon has disappeared."
Lu Yin raised his eyebrows, "Senior, your karma is gone?"
Lord Blue Lotus nodded.
Lu Yin clenched his fists. This was truly a terrifying method. In a confrontation with the Lord's power, he wasn't facing an enemy, but rather a Sovereign. This was the source of the Sovereign's cultivation power, and it could be taken away at will. How could anyone resist?
The Grass Grandmaster sighed, "This is the existence that the ancestors of the Nine Bases Division faced. Now that we are facing it, we will be defeated at the first touch."
The Ancient God said in a deep voice, "That's because we don't know anything about this power. I believe that given enough time, we will definitely be able to resist it." After saying this, he added, "At least it won't be that bad."
The Wine Master took a sip of wine and asked, "How much strength do you have left?"
Qing Lian Yu said, "Less than ten percent."
Mr. Mu replied, "More or less."
Chang Tian and Jingmen Shangyu looked at each other and nodded. "We're about the same.
There's no loss. "
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. "Not all powers originate from the Lord, or rather, they are all taken away by the Lord. Some powers can undergo changes after being born from the Lord's power, such as Senior Chang Tian's eye power."
"This might be a way to resist the Lord's power."
Chu Songyun asked, "Master, what about your karma binding?"
At this point, everyone's eyes fell on Lu Yin's wrist. This was the greatest loss of the three universes.
Lu Yin's main body's karma binding had reached perfection.
Everyone suddenly felt a heavy pressure on their heads.
Even if an expert like the Wine Master joined in and had the weapons of Hui Jin's technological civilization, it couldn't make up for the perfection of Lu Yin's karma binding.
This was originally the trump card of the human civilization.
Lu Yin raised his wrist. "I can't move it for the time being, but I will definitely find a way to consume the karma binding."
Lu Yin had created countless miracles, but this miracle was too rare.
Many living beings had been seeking to break through the karma binding for many years, but they had all failed.
Lu Yin looked at everyone. "Everyone, don't forget that although the Lord's power is taking away, or to put it bluntly, it's still considered attacking. Many living beings have died because of them. Are they not bound by karma?"
Everyone was enlightened. Yes, why was the existence of the Lord's power not afraid of karma binding?
Everyone looked at each other.
Inside Lu Yin's body, You Che's voice sounded. "Jiu Lei also considered this point, but I don't know what he considered and why he started the war. The only thing I'm sure of is that the Lord's power is not bound by karma binding."
Lu Yin said, "Is it possible that this karma binding originated from the Lord's karma?
He deliberately used the karma binding to control the square inch distance, and it doesn't originate from the universe itself. "
"He represents the universe itself," You Che said, but the outside world couldn't hear his words.
After talking for a while, Lu Yin let Qing Lian Yu and the others recover their strength. He first walked outside to observe the situation in the square inch distance.
The one walking outside was not his main body, but his avatar with divine power.
The karma binding of his main body had reached perfection, so it was better to stay in Xiang City.
The avatar with divine power was not affected.
Like his vision power, his divine power was not stripped away.
With the avatar's combat strength, there was no need for him to be afraid of anything.
You Che was currently in the form of You Wu's seaweed form in Xiang City. He was staying under the bridge in Xiang City. No matter who it was, he could talk to them as long as he wanted to. It didn't have to be his main body.
His main body was no different from the others now since his Heart Power had been depleted.
"Do you still want to take over Xiang City?" Lu Yin asked. He sat on the desolate planet and looked into the distance, searching for a cosmic civilization.
You Che's voice rang out. "Of course I do, but it's very difficult. With my Heart Power completely gone, if I want to take control of Xiang City, the most straightforward way is to replace all your statues in the city with mine. That little disciple of yours is too ruthless. She made the people in the city respect you so much that it's almost like faith.
"Lu Yin, how did you get such a disciple? She's filial, innocent, and doesn't get tired."
Thinking of Tuo Lin, Lu Yin smiled. "Isn't she very similar to you back then?"
You Che fell silent.
Lu Yin had seen You Che's past. In the beginning, You Che was very similar to Tuo Lin. It was only when he became Young Master Che that he changed. However, the responsibility for this change lay partly with him and partly with the other disciples of the Fifth Stronghold.
Because of him.
Lu Yin asked, "Why do you say you'll never be able to break free from the unknowns?"
You Che sighed. "The affairs of the world are unpredictable. I've been plotting for so long, but I didn't expect that when you took control of Xiang City, the Master's power would descend upon us. Consider me unlucky."
"How much do you know about the Master's power?"
"Almost nothing," Lu Yin said bluntly.
You Che smiled bitterly. "I don't know much either, but I do know that Jiu Lei's greatest opponent back then was not the various civilizations but the Master's power. The unknowns are the representatives of the Master's power.
"The Master's power exists in the Mother Tree's main trunk. We all live in the branches, so they need a representative in the branches. That's how the unknowns were born.
"So unless you destroy the Master's power, you'll never be able to break free from the unknowns."
Lu Yin understood. "But why is the divine power not affected by the Master's power?
This divine power should also originate from the Master's power, right? "
"Perhaps it was created by some existence. I'm not sure, but the Great Dao is simple. The source of all power lies in the Mother Tree's main trunk. If you want to surpass the Master's power and not be affected by it, you'll have to enter the main trunk."
"Did Jiu Lei think the same way back then?"
"I don't know. With my level and status, Jiu Lei wouldn't let me know too much. It's just like how I didn't know that the Tian Yuan Universe's mirage actually hid Jiu Lei's trump card and helped you escape."
Speaking of this, Lu Yin recalled the scene he had seen and that pair of wise eyes.
These words overlapped with the words that Patriarch Shan had left behind in one of the pieces of armor.
Patriarch Shan admired three things in his life. The first was the omnipresent. His name was unknown, and his body could not be seen.
The stars rose and fell, and he could see the stars as if they were mere inches away.
The second was the War God of Jiu Lei, Pan.
The third was a wise man. Pan Canghai's wisdom was as great as a plate.
To be able to earn Patriarch Shan's admiration, one could see how high his wisdom was.
That pair of eyes reminded Lu Yin of that existence.
"Who was the one who set up that trump card?" Lu Yin asked.
You Che thought about it. "I can only think of one person in Jiu Lei who could see so far."
"Mister Unfettered."
"Mr. Zizai?" Lu Yin felt like he was an immortal when he heard this name.
You Che did not seem to want to recall, but he still said, "Mr. Zizai is from the First Stronghold, but he travels around Jiu Lei all year round. His favorite thing to do is …" He paused for a moment before continuing, "Teach."
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Teach cultivation?"
You Che said, "Not exactly. A more accurate description would be to find fault with someone."
"Mr. Zizai is known as the smartest person in Jiu Lei. He dabbles in all aspects. No matter what you cultivate, as long as he sees it, he can always find something wrong with your cultivation."
"Isn't that good?" Lu Yin was even more certain that Mr. Zizai was the one who set up the mirage.
You Che sighed. "But no one wants to face him because the way he looks at you makes you feel like an idiot."
Lu Yin recalled that pair of wise eyes again. Was that so?
That gaze was very kind. Could it be that Mr. Zizai had set up a trump card?
"You can't understand that feeling without facing him."
"I was known as Young Master Che, and I was one of the most talented people in my generation. But in Mr. Zizai's eyes, I was no different from an idiot. He casually pointed out the shortcomings in my cultivation, even though he did not insult me.
But he did. "
"That gaze made me feel like he was looking at a pet. It was as if even a pet could stand and walk."
