Using the divine palaces as a shell was the most solid step they had taken. Although the next step was to stabilize the divine palaces, the battlefield could help them reduce their karmic restraints.
Lu Yin hadn't planned to act so early, but the accident with the Seat Sequence made him decide to act quickly to prevent any more accidents.
Who knew who the Seat Sequence was in contact with?
He had to get a clear look at the person behind it.
Previously, the three divine palaces had fought each other on the battlefield, resulting in the deaths of many Eternal beings. Lu Yin alone had captured four Eternal beings from the other two divine palaces, but those two divine palaces had many Oracles to begin with. Even if they couldn't compare to the other divine palaces, they weren't too far behind.
The remaining Oracles from the two divine palaces added up to more than fifteen.
There were at least six Oracles on the battlefield.
If he wanted to completely remove his karmic restraints, he would need four more Eternal Beings, while Startle Gate needed two or three. The enemy Oracles on the battlefield were more than enough.
Next, Lu Yin asked Emissary Shuang Luo to transfer Botian and Jin back, replacing them with Startle Gate and Longevity Eternity. This move made Emissary Shuang Luo's heart tremble. She knew that Lu Yin was about to do something, but she couldn't and didn't dare to stop him.
Sure enough, the battlefield changed. First, an Oracle from Dao Advent Divine Palace was killed, followed by another from Seat Divine Palace. The key was that no one knew who had killed them.
This was because Dao Advent Divine Palace and Seat Divine Palace were also at war.
They were already fighting fiercely over the Temporal Vault.
The death of two Oracles wasn't enough to attract the attention of the two divine palaces. Emissary Shuang Luo knew that it had come from her side, so she paid attention.
But over the next hundred years, those two divine palaces kept appearing.
Oracles from the divine palaces died or simply disappeared.
For each divine palace, there were probably only two or three Oracles, but Emissary Shuang Luo counted seven dead. It was too exaggerated.
Not long after, the two divine palaces stopped fighting, and the battlefield returned to peace.
The karmic restraints between Lu Yin and Startle Gate had completely disappeared.
Unless they attacked again outside.
They had only reduced their karmic restraints to zero, not completely erasing them.
The restraints were still on them.
But they were already satisfied.
Next was Mister Mu and the others.
However, the battlefield was now peaceful. Lu Yin didn't plan to let them join the divine palaces so soon. He had to wait until this period was over, or it would be easy to attract the attention of the two divine palaces.
In the blink of an eye, three hundred years had passed.
During these three hundred years, the battlefield was very peaceful, and so was the Divine Palace.
On the surface, Divine Emissary Shuang Luo was in charge, but in reality, Lu Yin had the final say.
Divine Emissary Botian had tried to cause trouble, but Emissary Shuang Luo had stopped him. He was afraid that Lu Yin and the others would deal with Divine Emissary Botian, which meant that the only person he could speak to in the palace would be Emissary Jin.
That Yan Shen envoy had completely sided with Lu Yin.
Even though Emissary Shuang Luo had tried to stop him, Emissary Botian was still killed by Longevity Immortality in the end.
There was no helping it. There would always be a fellow who was an eyesore, and if he didn't get rid of him, he would feel disgusted.
The death of Heaven God Emissary Bo Tian made the other two Divine Palaces even quieter. They were all guessing that it was the other Divine Palaces who had killed Heaven God Emissary Bo Tian.
Ever since Divine Emissary Botian died, Divine Emissary Shuang Luo became even more silent.
It hadn't even seen the Jin Divine Representative before, so it had followed the example of the other sequences and gone into seclusion for fear of offending Lu.
Yin and the others were also killed.
There was another Divine Representative who was even more cautious: the Jin Divine Representative.
She wasn't as impulsive as Divine Emissary Bo Tian, and she had long since realized that something was amiss. Thus, she had remained silent before Heaven God Emissary Bo Tian had been killed. Although she wasn't as close to Lu Yin as Yan Shen, as long as Lu Yin had any orders, she would obey without question.
Now, the Divine Palace was starting to resemble what Lu Yin wanted it to be.
Over the past few years, he had been comprehending the Heavenly Dao of Karma.
To be honest, although the Karmic Shackles had prevented him from taking action, he had thrown more than ten Eternals into the Heavenly Dao of Karma over the years. Among them were beings like Rou Shi, Xingxun, and Le Gu Ku Jin, who had lived for a very long time. Even Lu Yin didn't know how big the Heavenly Dao of Karma was.
He didn't plan on completely releasing it.
He just wanted to get used to it.
After all, he could act without restraint, which was an indescribable feeling.
On this day, a voice that he hadn't heard in a long time appeared.
"Lu Yin, do you have an answer?"
It was You Che's voice.
It had been 1,500 years since he had arrived in the Core, and now, he had awakened.
Lu Yin sat calmly in Heaven in Heaven, swirling his teacup as Long Xi poured tea for him.
"I don't know if I should say that you're lucky or unlucky."
Long Xi was taken aback. You're talking to me?
When she saw Lu Yin looking into the distance, she pursed her lips and slowly retreated.
"More than a thousand years ago, the Lord's power descended and brought disaster to human civilization. I had no choice but to take control of Xiang City, which led to you. You had a chance to steal the city, but you wasted it because of the Lord's power. You could only threaten me with words."
"You think it's a threat?" You Che's voice was indifferent.
Lu Yin looked up, "I'm not done yet."
He raised his cup and took a sip, "You missed your chance then, and you're still missing it now."
"You should be able to see me." Lu Yin raised his wrist, where the Karmic Shackles were.
You Che was shocked, "The Karmic Shackles are gone?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up, "Surprised?"
"You shouldn't be. I've created too many miracles."
You Che was incredulous, "This isn't a miracle. It's impossible."
Lu Yin said, "Looking at my life, there are too many impossibilities. Those who see me as a friend bring me hope, while those who see me as an enemy bring only despair."
You Che couldn't imagine how Lu Yin had done it.
Countless civilizations had failed over the years, so how was he able to do it?
Lu Yin sipped his tea, "I'm curious. Did anyone manage to do this during the Ninth Base Era?"
You Che didn't answer.
Lu Yin continued, "You're not answering because you don't want to believe it, or because you don't know either?"
You Che asked, "How did you do it?"
"I once played a game with someone. We asked each other questions and had to answer them. Do you want to play?"
You Che laughed, "Even if I knew more, would the answers be meaningful to me?
Not being able to control Xiang City is equivalent to losing my life. "
"You still want to control Xiang City?"
"Why not?
Do you think I took it because your Karmic Shackles were complete?
You hadn't even broken through to the Eternal Realm at that time. "
"But you knew about Wang Wen's existence. You were sure that human civilization wouldn't be able to survive that disaster, and you were sure that I would survive." Lu Yin said what he had always wanted to say. This was also his guess.
You Che faked his death and Wang Wen
Was Wang Wen related?
It seemed unrelated, but he instinctively felt that nothing could be hidden from Wang Wen, especially anything related to the unknown.
You Che sighed, "Are you sure, or are you guessing?"
"Is there a difference?
Wang Wen was the one who guided Le Guku to Cavern Void Mountain. "
"Since you know about this, you must have some understanding of the Death Universe," You Che said.
You Che had awakened when the Lord's power had descended, and Lu Yin had used Xiang City to protect the three universes. He didn't know that Lu Yin had an avatar that had joined the Death Universe.
Lu Yin swirled his teacup and watched the ripples in the tea. He seemed to see another face.
The ripples spread out once more, and he saw a stalk of seaweed swaying in the wind beneath the bridge.
You Che's voice was calm, "The truth isn't important. Whether it's confirmed or guessed, it won't affect me or you.
"But if you want to kill me, it's probably impossible."
Lu Yin raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"Xiang City relies on Heartforce to move. Without it, you won't be able to expand Xiang City to encompass all of human civilization, nor will you be able to drag Xiang City away. Although it's not obvious, Heartforce is the key to Xiang City. It's the shackle that the Fifth Stronghold has placed on Xiang City.
"If I die, your Heartforce will disappear completely. This is the consequence of handing it over to me.
"Without me, you won't be able to take Xiang City and all of human civilization away. But if you want to burn the bridge after crossing it, sure. I can die, but Xiang City can't be moved.
"Unless you're sure you'll never be able to move Xiang City again."
Lu Yin's eyes turned cold. He knew this. When he returned You Che's Heartforce to him, he was already mentally prepared for this. However, he didn't know he could remove the karma so quickly back then.
Bound. He thought it would be difficult for his main body to take action again. But now that he was free, Xiang City was bound.
If Xiang City couldn't be moved, it would be troublesome.
No one could guarantee when the Prime's power would descend.
Perhaps the Prime's power was wary of the Death Universe and had not appeared since the Battle of Nine Bases. But now that they were outside, the Prime's power could appear at any time.
This was the source of You Che's confidence.
"I'm not a corporeal entity. I'm just an existence that relies on Xiang City's Heartforce. If you kill me, Xiang City can't be moved. Lu Yin, make your choice," You Che said.
Lu Yin laughed. "If I don't kill you, it'll be hard for you to achieve anything."
You Che said helplessly, "I didn't expect it to be so coincidental. The moment you took control of Xiang City was the moment the Prime's power descended. I can only say that time is not on my side."
"Being trapped in Xiang City forever and being unable to do anything other than talk should be torture for you. You colluded with the Grand Pure One to deal with the Fifth Stronghold, so this can be considered the Fifth Stronghold's revenge on you," Lu Yin said slowly.
You Che sneered. "Humans have never accepted me. I can take revenge, but don't talk about colluding with the Grand Pure One. Compared to you humans, the Grand Pure One has given me much more."
"Tell me about it."
"I've said it before. Sometimes, knowledge is more important than strength. If you're willing, give Xiang City to me. I'm sure you'll be satisfied with what I tell you."
Lu Yin put down his teacup, took a step forward, and teleported away.
There was no need to talk nonsense.
How could he give Xiang City to You Che?
He could not afford to lose anything that belonged to human civilization. Whether it was out of respect for his ancestors or being petty, this was his character.
As for You Che, he was trapped in Xiang City, not in his own body. Only when he returned to Xiang City would he be able to talk to him.
Otherwise, he could just ignore him.
He would not kill him either. If he encountered any danger, You Che would have to cooperate with him to protect himself.
Xiang City had to be able to move at any time.
Now, it was time to take the initiative to find out who the command sequence was contacting.
