Within the palace, the remaining oracles continued to argue, but they could not come to a conclusion.
Yan Shen looked at the stone monster. Both of the oracles' deaths were related to it. What was going on?
In any case, he would never go out with it again.
"I suggest that Returning Traveler use karma to calculate the sequence of events," Shuang Luo said, her eyes fixed on the stone monster. She felt that something was wrong.
"I agree."
"I agree too."
The stone monster's voice was low. "If you can use karma to calculate the sequence of events, I agree, but it must not involve my other matters."
"I won't hide it from everyone. I have a secret related to the turbid treasure."
The other oracles looked at each other. Everyone wanted the turbid treasure, but they did not expect the stone monster to have its secrets.
Returning Traveler chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't pry into your secrets."
"My karma calculation can accurately reconstruct the sequence of events. Every action, even a sentence, can be reconstructed."
"As long as you agree."
"I agree." The stone monster agreed without hesitation. The other oracles were stunned. So decisive?
If Returning Traveler had not said that, the stone monster would have resisted, but it actually said that even a sentence could be reconstructed. How was that possible?
Even Lu Yin, the strongest expert of the human civilization, who could fight against an existence that conformed to three universal laws, couldn't achieve this in the way of karma. How could this damn tortoise that only conformed to one universal law do it?
If it could really do it, it would be useless to refuse, as it would seem guilty.
Agreeing was the only answer, and the more decisive, the better.
Although the stone monster looked clumsy, it had once been a thief and had experienced countless life and death situations.
It looked clumsy on the surface, but it was extremely cunning and smart. It would not be so easily intimidated.
Of all the oracles present, there were not many who had more experience than the stone monster.
It had cultivated step by step from the bottom to the top.
This was why Lu Yin had chosen it to come to the palace.
If it had been Ba Rong, he would not have done as well.
The palace was silent.
The stone monster looked at Returning Traveler. "Come."
Returning Traveler curled his lips. "Alright, let's go."
It was bragging. How could it have done that? It was good at cutting karma, looking at a karma line and cooperating in battle, not calculating the sequence of events.
Seeing the stone monster agree so decisively, it should have nothing to do with it. It had only escaped because of its strong defense.
The rest of the Oracles had no objections and dispersed.
However, they all knew that it was impossible for the stone monster to bring anyone out, even if it was fine.
In the face of danger, one had to either overcome it or run faster than another creature facing danger.
No one wanted to face danger together with the rock golem, who could always escape alive. That would be bad luck.
Before dispersing, Godly Envoy Gui Xing specifically warned those outside to be careful of the hidden murderer. If they really couldn't do it, they should awaken the master of the Divine Palace and ask the master of the Divine Palace to act.
These words were meant to pacify and intimidate.
They suspected that there were spies in the Divine Palace.
The stone monster didn't go out either. It said that even if it found them, it wouldn't be a match for them if the other oracles didn't help.
Godless Sealed Region, Xiang City, Nine Clouds Universe.
After Lu Yin used the two Eternal Life Realms to increase his Karma Heavenly Dao, he handed them over to the others.
He returned to the Tian Yuan Universe and sat at the back mountain of the Above Heaven Sect. Wei Rong was already waiting for him.
"Three Eternal Life Realm experts is the limit of the first step.
It might force the Divine Palace to do something, "Wei Rong said.
Lu Yin took a sip of tea. "It's a pity that the stone monster is suspected, and we can't lure out any more oracles."
Wei Rong said helplessly, "Suspicion is inevitable. If it isn't suspected, then the rest of us who joined the Divine Palace can't do anything."
This was all part of Wei Rong's plan.
From the stone monster joining, to helping lure out the three oracles, to being suspected by the Divine Palace, the first step had ended.
Next was the second step.
Let the Eternal Life Realms join the Divine Palace.
One was Ba Rong, who was also not an Eternal Life Realm expert. Joining the Divine Palace would not arouse suspicion, but now that the Divine Palace had lost three oracles, they urgently needed to add new Eternal Life Realms.
The other was the Stargate Guardian.
When Lu Yin had first met the Lou Jin Clan, he had paid the price of time for the Lou Jin Clan to meet a teleportation god. That teleportation god had recognized him as an Eternal Life Realm expert, and this matter was recorded in the Divine Palace. Now, Lu Yin could let the Stargate Guardian join the Divine Palace as that Eternal Life Realm expert.
He could also use the Stargate Guardian's mist-shrouded form to identify himself with Nie's clone. This would draw out more and more human powerhouses, killing two birds with one stone.
In fact, Lu Yin and the others had discussed who should join the Divine Palace. In the beginning, Lu Yin had hoped that it would be an Ancient God. After all, Ancient Gods were the same as the other oracles, and they had used the universe's reboot to break through, so it would not be too sudden. But in the end, there were two reasons why they had decided on the Stargate Guardian.
The Stargate Guardian's karma was not small, especially after cultivating the Nirvana Tree's techniques. She had experienced many great battles, which had caused her karmic bindings to skyrocket. Although they were still far from being perfect, they would be soon after experiencing a few more great battles.
It would be best if they could help her eliminate her karma, as the Stargate Guardian could be integrated into the Mystifying Guardian.
The Blood Tower Guardian's power level was comparable to an existence that was compatible with two laws of the universe. Normally, one would not be able to see it, so it was the most suitable.
Another reason was that Longevity Celestial would also join later. Longevity Celestial could join the Divine Palace as a member of the Eternal Life Realm. Although they looked similar to humans, they were also different.
Longevity Celestial and the Stargate Guardian would join the Divine Palace's protection.
Several years later, Ba Rong reappeared.
This time, it was Oracle Wu Hen who discovered him.
Oracle Wu Hen had seen Ba Rong twice in a row. The first time, he did not care because he was afraid that Ba Rong was a strong enemy who had killed Oracle He. This time, he had to care because they were face-to-face.
Looking at the huge sea fish in front of him, Oracle Wu Hen took a deep breath. "Who are you?
Why are you here? "
Ba Rong panicked. He was afraid that Oracle Wu Hen would suddenly attack him.
To be honest, he did not want to join the Divine Palace.
However, he was forced to grit his teeth and admit it.
Despite his seemingly powerful appearance, he was actually more timid and cautious than anyone else. In Xiang City, he was a puppy. In fact, he thought of himself as a small fish, the harmless kind.
Ba Rong tried very hard to smile at Oracle Wu Hen. Humans said that one should smile when meeting people and not fight or make trouble.
Therefore, he smiled.
Then, Oracle Wu Hen attacked.
Ba Rong, "???"
"You must be the murderer who killed three Oracles of the Divine Palace."
"What are you talking about?
Who killed who?
You're attacking me. "
"You're the one attacking me."
Ba Rong felt wronged. "I didn't."
Oracle Wu Hen stopped and stared at Ba Rong vigilantly. "Aren't you the one who killed three Oracles of the Divine Palace?"
Ba Rong bitterly said, "Do I look like it?"
Nonsense, with this appearance, who else could it be?
Oracle Wu Hen wanted to say it, but he was afraid that if he said it, he would die.
His strength could only be ranked in the middle of the three Oracles. The murderer did not kill them one by one, but two or even three. He was terrifyingly powerful.
"Since you didn't do it, why are you here?"
Ba Rong helplessly said, "I'm lost. I can't find my way home."
Oracle Wu Hen was stunned. "Lost?"
"Yes, I accidentally stepped on a springboard and was thrown here. I'm lost."
"Springboard?" Oracle Wu Hen exclaimed, his eyes full of fear. "Where is the springboard?"
Ba Rong had just casually made up an excuse, but he hadn't expected Oracle Wu Hen to care so much. "I don't know. It was just a springboard that threw me here. I'm so dizzy that I can't even find my way home."
Oracle Wu Hen relaxed. This fish didn't seem to be lying, so why not take it to the Divine Palace?
If the culprit was here, then he could forget about leaving, and Oracle Wu Hen wouldn't need to deal with him alone. If he wasn't the culprit, then the Divine Palace would gain another Oracle, which could be considered a merit and reduce some of the karmic restrictions.
With this thought in mind, Oracle Wu Hen sent out an invitation.
Ba Rong asked many questions about the Divine Palace, and Oracle Wu Hen became more and more convinced that Ba Rong wasn't the culprit.
Finally, after several days of consideration, Ba Rong agreed to go to the Divine Palace.
Ba Rong looked back at the sky and knew that Lu Yin was watching. He really didn't want to go to the Divine Palace, but he had no choice.
Sigh, forget it. It wasn't safe anywhere, and there were humans in the Divine Palace as well. It was all the same. In the end, this area would belong to the human civilization.
After all, there weren't many fishing civilizations here.
In the distance, Lu Yin left.
With Ba Rong's addition, he was one step closer to using the Divine Palace as a shell.
This area …
The distance was great. Lu Yin had been teleporting for more than a thousand years, but he still hadn't left the Divine Palace's range. It was clear that the Divine Palace controlled an area that exceeded his imagination. What was perfect was that there was only one Divine Palace, and there were no fishing civilizations.
What was unknown? What was a dead universe? What was a muddy country? What was a technological civilization? There was nothing.
This was why he dared to use the Divine Palace as a shell.
For the Divine Palace to be able to control such an area, it definitely relied on the strength of the Lord. Lu Yin wasn't trying to replace the Divine Palace and rebel against the Lord; he was just trying to become another Divine Palace and worship the Lord.
Since he couldn't win, then he would join.
In the past, he had been alone, but now, he was leading an entire civilization.
It seemed that the calamity that the Lord had sent might not have been a bad thing.
Wait, did this mean that the human civilization had also failed and left that area?
Was it the same as the Divine Realm?
Lu Yin returned to the Tian Yuan Universe with all sorts of thoughts.
Elsewhere, Oracle Wu Hen brought Ba Rong back to the Divine Palace, causing a huge commotion. However, it wasn't just Wu Hen bringing Ba Rong back.
"There's a new Eternal?"
Oracle Wu Hen looked at Oracle Shuang Luo in surprise. He had just returned and had wanted to show off, but Shuang Luo had told him that a new Eternal had joined.
Oracle Shuang Luo said, "Yes, it just arrived."
"Why would a new Eternal suddenly appear?" Oracle Wu Hen didn't understand.
Shuang Luo glanced at Ba Rong. "Didn't you suddenly appear as well?"
"I mentioned that I met a Eternal before, but that was many years ago."
"Very long ago?"
"Then what about this Eternal?"
"It has more to do with you.
This fish met a long time ago, and it was recorded by the Divine Palace. "
Oracle Wu Hen suddenly thought of something. "Back then, when a teleportation god was harvesting time, it encountered a Eternal?"
"Yes," Oracle Shuang Luo said.
"Where is it now?"
