Lu Yin raised an eyebrow, "Fair?"
Lin Dao said in a low voice, "The Master of Time enjoys the worship of countless living beings in the universe. He uses the power of the Master of Time to harvest the power of objective beings. Naturally, he would be high above. But no matter how high his position is, it is impossible for him to sit back and relax. This is because life is in rotation. The Master of Time sequence should also have rotation, giving the living beings below him the right to climb. This is fairness."
"To us, the Lord of Time is the true God. Only God can give us justice."
Lu Yin thought about the words of the Thousand Trickeries. Was it fair?
They were really everywhere.
In truth, the way he saw it, it was more likely that the master of the Dao of Time was worried that the Dao of Time would be surpassed by the lower Dao of Time. Although the possibility wasn't high, if Jiu Lei could try to resist the master of the Dao of Time, then once the Dao of Time reached a certain height, they could also try.
This was the so-called fairness.
In this regard, his knowledge was even higher than these Chronological Echelon cultivators, because he was Jiu Lei's descendant.
The Chronological Echelon could never have imagined that there would be a civilization that dared to rebel against the Lord.
Lu Yin continued, "If you want to become a member of the Chronological Echelon, you have to invite the Lord of Time to descend?"
"Of course, if the Lord of Time does not descend, how can he bestow the Art of Time?"
Lu Yin frowned. He wanted to help the master become a Chronological Echelon cultivator, but if the Chronological Echelon descended, would the master be able to see through them?
Lin Dao could see Lu Yin's concern, but he remained silent and didn't say anything.
Lu Yin looked at it again. "Do you have any means of communicating with the outside world?"
It was Ming Shan who reminded him.
Dao Lin nodded. "The Mirror of Time consumes time as the price to communicate with other Sequences of Time, and can even communicate with the Dao of Time itself."
"How do I use it?"
"Draw upon the River of Time. Think of the Mirror of Time."
"You keep talking about the Dao of Time. In that case, in your understanding, what is the Dao of Time?"
Lin Dao didn't understand Lu Yin's question.
Lu Yin asked again, "Is it life?
Is it the Earth Domain?
Was it the rules?
Or is it something else? "
Lin Dao thought for a moment. "It does exist."
"It's an existence that we can't understand, but can understand us. It's an existence that allows us to get close to it and receive its blessings, but can also erase us at any time."
"I am a god."
"Can you see this universe clearly?" Lu Yin asked.
Lin Dao was still puzzled.
Lu Yin asked, "What do you think the universe is?"
Lin Dao understood. "The universe is a tree."
As expected, he could see it clearly. As a member of the Chronological Echelon, he should be able to see it clearly.
"Then, where is the Dao of Time?"
"Tree trunk."
"How do we go there?"
Lin Dao shook his head. "I don't know. I've never been there before."
Lu Yin stared at Lin and said, "If you lie, you won't be able to live. I'll give you one more chance."
Lin Dao said without hesitation, "I really don't know."
Lu Yin nodded and continued to ask it many more questions. Lin Dao answered all of them without holding anything back, and his attitude was quite good.
"You're very cooperative. Is it to survive?"
"It wasn't easy for me to reach the Chronological Sequence. I really don't want to die."
"Then what do you think you should do in order for me to spare your life, or even give you freedom?"
Lin Dao fell silent. It didn't know that while it was answering Lu Yin's question, it had been thinking about how to make itself more valuable.
"Between us and the Lord of Time, you would choose the Lord of Time without hesitation, because the Lord of Time is a god to you. We are just some powerful enemies.
Is there any way for you to abandon God and join us?
Please give me an answer, "Lu Yin said indifferently.
Lin Dao looked at him. "What do you want me to do?"
Lu Yin replied, "I didn't expect that either."
"I answered your questions wholeheartedly," Lin Dao said.
Lu Yin nodded. "Yes, if you answered my questions wholeheartedly, you shouldn't die."
Lin Dao sighed in relief.
"The premise is that you're wholeheartedly devoted," Lu Yin added.
Lin Dao was surprised. "What do you mean?"
Lu Yin smiled and raised his hand, causing karma to spiral.
Lin Dao saw it and his pupils shrank. He blurted out, "Karma?"
Lu Yin waved his hand and sent karma towards Lin Dao. "Now I'll verify your words. I hope you don't disappoint me."
Lin Dao's body was penetrated by karma, and scenes of the past appeared. Lin Dao's understanding was refreshed. Just how strong was this creature?
He had even comprehended karma. How was this possible?
What level was he at?
When answering Lu Yin's questions, Lin Dao had considered Gui Xing. Gui Xing had betrayed the other Divine Palace and then disappeared while they were attacking the other Sequences. Later, Lu Yin had said that Gui Xing had found him and asked for his fate chart.
At that time, Lin Dao had guessed the meaning of Gui Xing's actions.
It wasn't until Lu Yin's existence was confirmed and he was captured to the Sea of Karma that it realized that Gui Xing might have been controlled by this civilization.
This creature said that he could confirm the truth of their words. In fact, Lin Dao thought that he was borrowing Gui Xing's karma. However, Lin Dao knew Gui Xing's ability in karma. It was impossible for him to confirm the truth of its words. Therefore, Lin Dao was sure that Lu Yin was bluffing.
However, it didn't expect Lu Yin to have also comprehended karma.
Lin Dao looked at the scenes of his past. This creature's karma ability was far beyond Gui Xing's.
What was going on?
Why did he know everything?
Lu Yin looked at Lin Dao's karma past and used karma as the end to search for its past as a Sequence of Time. He also searched for whether it had entered the Mother Tree's main trunk and whether it had come into contact with the Master of Time.
Lin Dao had lived for a long time. Even with karma as the end, it would take a long time to see it clearly.
Fortunately, Lu Yin's karma binding was not perfect. He had plenty of time to waste.
Behind him, the Eternal Realms had dispersed.
Only Qinglian Shangyu and Chu Songyun remained.
Lu Yin continued to check its karma past, and his expression sank.
Lin Dao had gone to the Mother Tree's main trunk because it had faced an unfamiliar Sequence of Time in its past. That Sequence of Time had brought fear to it. It was definitely an old monster that conformed to the three laws of the universe.
And the location was not within a square inch of this area.
It must be the Master of Time.
Lin Dao looked at Lu Yin's expression changing. It knew it was not good, but it was afraid that Lu Yin was lying to it to prove that what it said was false. It could only endure and remain silent.
After a full half a year, Lu Yin stopped.
He looked at Lin Dao, "You didn't say a word. You thought I was lying to you. Then, let me tell you something."
"You have encountered a Sequence of Time that terrified you."
Lin Dao's pupils shrank as he looked at Lu Yin in horror. It had seen its past clearly. It was impossible. After such a long time, how could he see this?
"The location was inside the Mother Tree's main trunk."
Lin Dao was shocked, "No, I have never been to the Mother Tree's main trunk."
Lu Yin shook his head, "It's useless to deny it. I saw it, and it's true. It came from your past."
"I didn't know it was the Mother Tree's main trunk. Believe me, I really didn't know."
Lin Dao tried to defend himself.
Lu Yin's gaze gradually turned cold, "I'll ask you again. How did you become a Sequence of Time?"
Lin Dao's pupils flickered, but it did not answer.
Lu Yin raised an eyebrow, "You don't want to answer?"
Lin Dao stared at Lu Yin in a daze, "Yes, I don't want to answer."
Lu Yin smiled, "It's normal to want to use this as a bargaining chip to survive. Then, let me change the question. Before I ask, let me remind you that you can have bargaining chips, but if you have too much, I will flip the table." He then asked, "What did you experience in the place where the invisible seed was?"
Lin Dao did not expect Lu Yin to suddenly ask this. It did not want to answer, but Lu Yin's words just now were spinning in its mind. It hesitated, not knowing whether to say it or not.
Lu Yin was not in a hurry and just waited.
The more he spoke, the more passive he became.
Teal Lotus Protector watched all of this calmly. Lu Yin was becoming more and more skilled at interrogating enemies, but it also proved that humans had encountered more and more powerful enemies.
After a while, Lin Dao answered, "I was besieged. Although they were not strong, they could not see. They were in a stalemate for a long time. In the end, I reached an agreement with the civilization and withdrew. I also obtained a seed that could make an Eternal Stage invisible."
"It was a strange civilization. They seemed to need a lot of things, and the invisible seed was their greatest treasure. I only got one …"
Lin Dao did not hold back what had happened in the invisible civilization. Lu Yin did not doubt this, after all, it did not involve the Sequence of Time.
The invisible civilization was quite powerful and could defeat Lin Dao's Anterior, but it was not that powerful either. Lin Dao's Anterior could enter deep into it and still escape unscathed.
At the very least, it proved that in terms of absolute strength, that civilization was inferior to
Human civilization.
Even if Lin Dao's Anterior was at its peak, it would not have been able to escape unscathed.
"You said they needed a lot of things?"
"Yes, a lot. It's very strange."
"They were a cultivation civilization?"
"Yes."
"What agreement did you reach with them?"
"A deal. I used what they needed in the outside world in exchange for their invisible seed …"
Lin Dao did not say how he became a bargaining chip for the Sequence of Time in exchange for a chance to live.
As for everything else, he answered almost all of Lu Yin's questions, and his attitude was very good.
It had to be said that this bargaining chip was very effective. Lu Yin really did want to know how to become a Sequence of Time, and he wanted to help the Master become a Sequence of Time. As a Ferryman of the River of Time, if the Seat Order could succeed, then the Master could succeed as well.
However, the prerequisite was that he was not targeted by the Sequence of Time.
The method that Lin Dao had mentioned before was that the Sequence of Time would descend, which made Lu Yin apprehensive.
Lin Dao might have said this on purpose to threaten Lu Yin into keeping him around. If no one on Lu Yin's side became a Sequence of Time, then he would be useful.
Now, it was difficult for Lu Yin to know whether what Lin Dao had said was true or false.
After all, this was related to Lin Dao's own life.
Lin Dao had seen it clearly, and so had Lu Yin.
"Some people like to think that they are smart and think that they can protect themselves by holding a bargaining chip. What they don't know is that the more bargaining chips you hold, the more your opponents will be able to see and make the appropriate choice."
Lu Yin slowly spoke up and looked at Lin Dao. "My choice is to no longer believe anything you say."
With that, the karmic spiral pierced through Lin Dao again. He wanted to rely on his own karma to see the situation clearly. If he could not see it clearly, then he would not have given Lin Dao a chance to scheme against him.
At this moment, no matter what Lin Dao said, it would affect him.
Stop talking.
