In the Outerverse, on Zenyu Star, Lu Yin stared at the sky in shock. What was going on?
The sky was gone! He had just seen the sky crack open and shatter like a mirror, and then another sky had appeared.
This scene suddenly reminded him of the words he had heard on the island at the end of the Ocean of Death: "The sky has changed, the sky has changed, and this sky is now six." "Five has changed the sky, and five has become six. From now on, this universe is covered in a veil of hypocrisy. We are unwilling to accept this." This reminded him of the monkey's description of the Rune Line Civilization: "One sky changes for another."
Hai Qiqi suddenly cried out in fear, "Father, I can't feel Father's strength!"
Lu Yin was shaken, and he had a bad premonition. Had something happened to the Sea King?
In the Starfall Sea, beside a waterfall, the Sea King was ecstatic. "I did it! I did it!"
Elder Chan stared at the shattered third door, and his bright eyes disappeared. Not long after, the third door actually closed on its own.
The Sea King's laughter came to an abrupt halt, and his face paled. "Why?
Why did it close? "
Elder Chan sighed in relief. "They don't want to have anything to do with us. That's good, that's good."
The Sea King roared and raised his Sea King's Trident, about to smash it against the stone door. However, without Bloodstained Robes, his attack was unable to cause any damage to the stone door.
Elder Chan barked, "Enough! Do you really want this universe to be destroyed?"
The Sea King looked at Elder Chan with a resolute gaze. "I'm unwilling to accept this. If we don't open this door, we'll always be beneath them. We'll always be ants."
Elder Chan closed his eyes. "Even if you open the stone door, you'll only lead to another hopeless situation. This has already happened before, and I won't allow it to happen again."
The Sea King seemed to have lost all of his strength, and he closed his eyes.
Arch-Elder Chan looked at him. "Today's result is for the best. We've torn apart the hypocrisy of the universe, and we won't attract any more powerful enemies. However …" He then looked down at the waterfall. "War is coming. This will be a war that will sweep across the entire universe. Whether it's us, the Astral Beast Domain, or the Technocracy, none of us can escape.
Beneath the waterfall, the old man who had been guarding the stone gate screamed, "You ants, we won't let you off! We'll make this part of the starry sky flow with blood! We'll make your ancestors weep! We'll make this part of the starry sky disappear!" The old man's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head. A spear had pierced through his chest, and blood was dripping into the water.
The old man slowly turned his head and saw a black warhorse with blue flames under its feet. On the warhorse, there was a ghost-like silhouette. The silhouette was wearing armor and his face couldn't be seen clearly. He could only see two balls of flames through the armor. Those were his eyes. His eyes were so cold that it made people shiver.
The spear was pulled back, and the old man's organs were pulverized. His eyes lost their vitality, and he fell into the sea.
Arch-Elder Chan appeared in the sky with the Sea King. He looked at the silhouette on the warhorse. "I didn't expect you to appear. It must feel good to kill an old enemy."
The two balls of flames on the warhorse looked at Arch-Elder Chan. "It would have been very difficult to kill him if I hadn't been injured."
"Does your appearance mean that the burial grounds will reopen?" Arch-Elder Chan asked solemnly.
The figure on the warhorse turned around and said, "The Burial Garden has been reopened. The living cannot be seen, and only the dead can be seen. You can enter the Burial Garden. A calamity is coming, so you should focus on them." After that, the ghostly figure disappeared.
Arch-Elder Chan sighed. "The burial grounds will reopen, and the dead will reappear."
"So what? No one can escape the calamity that's coming, and the burial grounds will be no different," the Sea King said.
Arch-Elder Chan looked at him. "How did you get Progenitor Chen's bloodstained robes?"
The Sea King replied, "There's nothing in the Starfall Sea, but I found them by chance."
Arch-Elder Chan shook his head. "Everything is the will of the heavens."
"No, it's Progenitor Chen's blessing. Our ancestors hoped that we would resist and not wait for death without dignity."
Arch-Elder Chan looked at him for a while. "It's too late to say anything now. I hope that you're right." He then took a step forward. "The calamity is coming, and we can't afford any more internal strife. The Hall of Honor will help you shoulder this matter, and I hope that you will shoulder your own responsibilities." Arch-Elder Chan then vanished.
The Sea King gripped his spear tightly and bowed to Arch-Elder Chan's back. If not for Arch-Elder Chan, he would already be dead.
Lu Yin did not know what had happened in the Starfall Sea, but he had just received shocking news. The Astral River had been reversed, and the Innerverse and Outerverse had been completely separated. Even the Astral River Ark had been overturned.
When he first received the news, he could not believe it. Why had the Astral River changed so drastically?
But when he thought about how the heavens had been torn apart, something incredible had probably happened in the depths of the universe.
Beep beep beep beep!
Lu Yin opened his communicator. "Royal Regent, an explosive energy has appeared in the Third Filament, and it's completely isolated from the other regions."
"How strong is the energy?" Lu Yin asked.
"It's equivalent to a catastrophic cosmic event, but after some investigation, this energy has already begun to decline. It'll probably disappear completely within a month."
Lu Yin expressed his understanding.
Not long after, he received many more similar reports.
He put down his gadget. Many places in the Great Yu Empire had been isolated by the explosive energy, but these energies did not last long. The longest would take about a year to fade, and this was just the Great Yu Empire. Lu Yin believed that the rest of the Outerverse would be the same, and there would be many areas isolated by the explosive energy. Since the Astral River was liquid energy, it made sense for it to explode.
With the Astral River's energy intensity, how long would it take for it to fade?
Lu Yin could not guess, but it might take a very, very long time.
In other words, the Innerverse and Outerverse had already been separated. Lu Yin grew excited. No matter what, the various great powers of the Innerverse had coiled around him like pythons, making it difficult for him to breathe. He had already prepared himself for the worst, but he had not expected such a drastic change in the heavens. If the Innerverse had truly been isolated, then he would not have needed to escape.
At this moment, Wendy Yushan appeared with a solemn expression. "Sense the void."
Lu Yin raised his hand and exerted a bit of force, causing the air to tremble. His expression changed, and he exerted more force, but the air still trembled.
Lu Yin's expression changed, and he waved his hand. His enormous strength should have been able to tear through the void, but now, it only caused the air to distort and create a strong wind that swept through the void. Space itself did not change at all.
"How can this be?" Lu Yin was stunned.
Wendy Yushan solemnly replied, "Space has changed." She unsheathed her sword and slashed out. A visible sword qi tore through the air and slashed into the distance, but space remained unchanged.
"The space has stabilized," Lu Yin said solemnly.
Wendy Yushan nodded. "Even with my strength, it's difficult to tear through the void. Perhaps only a Hunter's destructive power can do so. Lu Yin, the world has changed."
"Where's Hai Qiqi?" Wendy Yushan asked.
Lu Yin sighed. "She's hiding by herself. The Innerverse and Outerverse are separated, so she can't return to the Starfall Sea. She can't feel the Sea King's power either."
Wendy Yushan's expression dimmed. She had experienced this feeling before, and it was very uncomfortable. "You should comfort her. Perhaps there's a gap in the Astral River that she can travel back and forth."
"It's useless. The Astral River Ark has already been overturned. Even if the Astral River returns to its original state, it'll still be very difficult to travel back and forth. At least, we can't do it with our current strength. We'll need to be at least an Enlighter." Lu Yin's expression suddenly changed. Enlighters could not travel back and forth from the Astral River, and similarly, those Enlighters had been left behind in the Astral Wilderness.
Not all of the Enlighters had returned to the Innerverse, and there should still be some who had not.
Lu Yin's heart sank when he thought of this. Once he confirmed that the Innerverse and Outerverse had been completely separated, it would mean that he had lost the protection of the Sea King's Dome. Then, those Enlighters would be able to act against Frostwave Weave without restraint.
After all, he had stolen quite a few star essence skins on Planet Pyrolyte, and there was also the temptation of a secret technique.
Lu Yin felt apprehensive, and beside him, Wendy Yushan seemed to have thought of something as well.
The Great Yu Empire entered a state of alert, and all foreign spacecraft were strictly inspected. This was Lu Yin's order.
The first few days should have been fine, as even Enlighters would need some time to confirm the situation in the Astral River. However, after a dozen days, the atmosphere in the Outerverse changed. First, the Darkmist Weave, which was closest to the Astral River, experienced a huge change. One of the organizations was destroyed by an Enlighter, and soon after, several more organizations were destroyed.
This incident was like a primer that led to the beginning of the upheaval.
Lu Yin's heart sank when he heard the news, and he immediately returned to King Zishan's palace to roll his die. He wanted to roll Enhance so that he could upgrade his Money Bomb, universal armor, and gun to the point where they could threaten an Enlighter.
Huo Qingshan and the rest were all waiting on Zenyu Star, and it wouldn't be long before an Enlighter appeared.
Back in King Zishan's palace, Lu Yin stayed in a secret room and blocked the monkey. He raised his hand, and his die appeared. He tapped it, causing it to spin rapidly. When it stopped spinning, Lu Yin saw -6. His vision suddenly darkened, but then it suddenly became clear again.
Lu Yin sighed in relief. Fortunately, he had placed his cosmic ring to the side in advance. If he rolled Enhance and ran out of star crystals or star essences, he would withdraw.
Now that he had rolled Enhance, it wouldn't be easy for him to roll Enhance. He used a cube of star crystals to restore the die and then tapped it again.
The die spun rapidly and finally stopped at Enhance.
Lu Yin sighed. Indeed, after rolling Enhance, it wouldn't be easy for him to roll Enhance again. There was a thump, and he randomly obtained an item from a cosmic ring. Lu Yin had obtained many strange things in the past, including women's clothing and stones. This time, however, he obtained a blood-red bell the size of a thumb.
Lu Yin frowned as he looked at the bell on the ground. He felt very uncomfortable, as if his entire body had been grabbed by something, and his blood was boiling. He picked up the bell, and the moment it touched his hand, his body trembled. His entire body turned cold and stiff, and he hurriedly stored it away in his cosmic ring. What the hell was this? It seemed even stranger than Progenitor Wushang's hide.
However, it should be something good. At least it was better than the stones and women's clothing.
