This time, Ming Shan was severely injured. It wanted to escape, but it immediately stopped because Lu Yin had appeared behind it and was looking at it with a faint smile.
Ming Shan lowered its voice and asked in a heavy tone, "Why did you attack me?"
Lu Yin said faintly, "I'm asking you."
Ming Shan was silent for a moment. Seeing Lu Yin's finger move, it quickly said, "My name is Ming Shan. I'm the ruler of a civilization, but I was defeated by the Dao Overlook Palace and escaped here."
"If you're not a cultivator from the Dao Overlook Palace, there's no need to attack me. Even without the karmic restraints, it's a waste of your time."
Lu Yin was surprised, "You're the ruler of a civilization that was destroyed by the Dao Overlook Palace?"
Ming Shan replied, "Yes."
"Guess why I attacked you?" Lu Yin asked.
If not for the fact that it couldn't beat Lu Yin, Ming Shan would have killed him. How could it know?
Looking at Lu Yin's expression, it realized that this creature was bluffing. He must have a reason to attack it, but he was afraid of missing out on something, so he wanted it to confess so that he could take the initiative.
Despite knowing Lu Yin's purpose, Ming Shan couldn't do anything.
If Lu Yin punched it again, it would be beyond redemption.
Helpless, it said dejectedly, "Could it be that you're discussing with me about dealing with the Dao Overlook Echelon?
Or is it about the alliance between the Dao Overlook Echelon and the Dao Overlook Echelon? "
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. It was indeed related to it.
"Continue."
Continue?
It seemed that he had guessed right. This creature must be related to a palace, but not the Dao Overlook Palace. He hadn't seen it before, and it couldn't be the Dao Overlook Palace. The Dao Overlook Echelon wouldn't attack him, at least not now.
So, it could only be the Dao Overlook Palace.
But could there be such a powerhouse in the Dao Overlook Palace?
If there was, the Dao Overlook Echelon wouldn't have attacked the Dao Overlook Palace rashly.
It knew that this creature wasn't a Dao Overlook Echelon, but what was its connection to the Dao Overlook Palace?
Ming Shan continued, "When my civilization was discovered by the Path Anterior Divine Palace, they launched a massive attack. The Path's Anterior echelon wanted to force me to join the palace, but I refused. So they tried to kill me. Not only did they enslave my civilization, they almost killed me."
"It's a good thing that I managed to escape. Of course, it was with the help of the Commanding Sequence. I helped them in secret, and even the Path's Anterior Sequence didn't know."
"The Order Echelon is helping me for no other reason than the fact that I can fight against a Path's Anterior echelon. Even if I'm not their match, I won't lose that easily. It hopes to join forces with me to kill a Path's Anterior echelon."
At this point, it glanced at Lu Yin. "We originally thought that our target would be a Path's Anterior, but just as we were about to attack that Path's Anterior, the sitting Array Master changed his mind. He wants to join forces with the Path's Anterior to first defeat the other Array Masters, and then join forces with me to kill the Path's Anterior. Killing two birds with one stone and obtaining the Three Gods Palace."
Lu Yin's gaze was filled with admiration. "Good technique. Continue."
Ming Shan said helplessly, "There's nothing else to say. All these years, I have been discussing how to deal with the Path's Anterior echelon with the Sitting Echelon. We originally had a plan, but the Sitting Echelon was seriously injured in the siege of another Echelon. That's why we had to renegotiate, and it has been dragging on until now."
"The most troublesome thing is that the other sequences are still alive. It doesn't dare to attack a sequence of Path's Anterior without permission, but I've been urging it, so …"
No wonder they had contacted each other so frequently over the past few years.
Because one had changed his mind, and the other was urging him.
"You're seriously injured, so where did you get the confidence to kill a Path's Anterior?"
"I'm seriously injured, but the Path's Anterior is no less injured than me in the siege of another Array Master. Although I was seriously injured and almost killed by it, I left it with a backup plan. If the sitting Array Master joins forces with me, we will definitely be able to deal with it."
Lu Yin was surprised. "Is that so?"
Ming Shan did not say anything else. He had said what he needed to say, and this was the only thing he could do.
Lu Yin knew that he was overthinking things. Plotting against another Array Master was the sitting Array Master's own idea from the beginning. There was no one behind it, and Ming Shan was only using it to deal with the Path's Anterior.
"There's one thing that I don't understand. Is it really okay to kill a Chronological Array Master?"
Lu Yin asked. He had asked the Returning Oracle this question before, and now he wanted to confirm the answer with Ming Shan.
Ming Shan answered, "It's fine as long as the offerings remain the same. The sitting Array Master said that there was no lack of divine palaces in history that had been destroyed. Although only three divine palaces had met, he did not say anything else. I'm guessing that it has something to do with the Path of Time. They have other ways to understand the universe's Core Space."
Lu Yin waved his hand, and the letter from the sitting Array Master floated over. He glanced at Ming Shan and saw that it had not moved, so he knew that what it had said was true.
There were so many twists and turns.
One plotted against the other.
If not for him, this sitting Array Master would have been able to control the three divine palaces.
The greatest benefit of having the three divine palaces under its control was the power of time. With such a vast territory and the tributaries of the Long River of Time that the three divine palaces had accumulated over countless years, it was enough for it to cultivate some power.
As a Chronological Array Master, the other Array Masters focused on their own cultivation.
This sitting Array Master had obviously taken a different path, which was to steal the tributaries of the Long River of Time and leave others with no way out.
It was a classic example of harming others to benefit oneself.
Plotting against others was very simple, and as long as it was not seen through, it would always achieve some goal.
All it lacked was luck.
The letter looked like a piece of paper, but it was actually a material. When it was opened, the message automatically came.
Lu Yin confirmed Ming Shan's words. The sitting Array Master was comforting it, telling it not to rush into action. It would definitely find a chance to kill the Path of Anterior Array Master and avenge Ming Shan.
"What I said is true. If you are related to the other Array Masters and want to fight for them, I have nothing to say. But if you have nothing to do with them, there is no need for you to get involved in this mess. After all, it involves the Path of Time," Ming Shan advised.
It was quite wary of Lu Yin.
The letter in Lu Yin's hand dissipated, and he looked at Ming Shan. "I'm from another divine palace."
Ming Shan was surprised. "You're from another divine palace?"
It did not understand. If Lu Yin was from another divine palace and belonged to another Array Master, then how did he succeed in the previous battle?
How could a Path of Anterior Array Master and a sitting Array Master besiege another Array Master?
And the sitting Array Master had never mentioned the existence of such an expert in another divine palace.
Lu Yin suddenly disappeared.
Ming Shan had a bad feeling. A black-purple light bloomed from its body and froze everything in an instant. This was not ordinary ice, but in accordance with the laws of the universe. It was enough to freeze an ordinary Eternal Realm. Because of this move, none of the Oracles in the Dao Anterior Divine Palace was its opponent. Only the Path of Anterior Array Masters could fight it.
The chains and the ice were enough to protect it unless it encountered an absolute powerhouse.
But Lu Yin was an absolute powerhouse.
There was a thump, and Lu Yin ignored the ice as he pressed down on Mingshan's descent.
But Ming Shan felt the threat of death and was horrified. "Sir, I can help you. I can help the other Array Masters."
It was really scared. Coming from a divine palace meant that there was less karmic restraint, and there was no psychological burden to kill it.
Lu Yin clenched his fist and punched from above.
This punch was earth-shattering, as if it was shattering the entire starry sky.
It made Ming Shan despair.
But the punch stopped and did not land. It was less than a hundred meters away from Ming Shan. This short distance determined its life.
The black-purple light on the surface of Ming Shan's body was unstable and constantly swaying. The power of the ice inside also faded until it completely disappeared.
The starry sky was silent.
Lu Yin retracted his fist and moved his fingers. "How do you feel?"
Ming Shan panicked. As an Eternal Realm, it had experienced too many life and death situations along the way. It did not want to die at this last step.
Many people thought that Eternal Beings were not afraid of death because they had lived for too long. In fact, they had lived for an infinite number of years, but their lifespan was also infinite. Because they could not see the entire universe, they were afraid of death.
If they were allowed to live in a sealed space, see everything in this space, and have eternal life, they would really not be afraid of death, and even yearn for it.
This might be the rare tolerance given to Eternal Beings by the space of inches, so that they would not seek death.
And this also gave Lu Yin the possibility of controlling them.
Otherwise, if they were not afraid of death, how could he reach this step?
Ming Shan was scared. "Thank, thank you for your mercy."
Lu Yin looked at it. "Your life is in my hands now. You will do whatever I say. If you resist, you will die. Do you understand?"
Ming Shan did not want to agree, but it had to. "Understood."
Lu Yin took out the General Appointment Platform.
Prison said, "Go in first."
Ming Shan didn't know what the hell of the General Appointment Platform was. Even the Eternal Life Realm was afraid of the unknown. Especially the mark of the General Appointment Platform, it was even more flustered. With just a glance, its body was about to explode. That was a peerless master, a peerless master that it couldn't imagine.
"Huh?" Lu Yin looked at it, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
Ming Shan was helpless. It dragged its tired body into the General Appointment Platform. Its body was full of holes, and the originally mighty and domineering black-purple mountain was pierced everywhere. It was severely injured.
As Ming Shan entered, karma began to increase.
Ming Shan was not weak, and it had lived for a long time. It increased Lu Yin's karma.
Lu Yin was looking forward to how much space it would cover if the Causal Heavenly Dao was fully released.
And how powerful was the Causal Dao Sword?
It was a pity to use it for positioning.
When the increase in karma stopped, Lu Yin released Ming Shan.
Ming Shan heaved a sigh of relief.
Lu Yin teleported to the top of the black-purple mountain peak and then disappeared with a single teleport.
From beginning to end, the battle here had not been discovered by the outside world. Lu Yin had restricted it from the beginning.
He threw Ming Shan to Yehai and handed it over to Qinglian Yu. Lu Yin brought a Lu family disciple who could teleport to where Ming Shan had been. He told the disciple to wait for a message and to teleport back to inform him if there was one.
Since the Imperial Order wanted to unify the three divine palaces, Lu Yin would help it fulfill its wish.
This feeling of not being watched but being able to control everything was very comfortable. Wang Wen had always felt this way.
He had plotted against Hong Shuang and plotted against the Nine Bases. In order to lure Hong Shuang out, he had personally directed the various wars between the Celestial Sect and the Eternal Realm in the Tianyuan Universe.
He had played all of this in the palm of his hand. He had watched the rise and fall of human civilization, watched himself climb up step by step, and finally took action to restrict himself. He must have felt a great sense of accomplishment.
But no matter how meticulous one's plans were, they could not prevent accidents.
Humans were not something he could manipulate as he pleased.
The Nine Bases ancestors also had backup plans. In that era, they also had unfathomable wisdom.
