Chapter 4512: Wang Wen's Notice
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
On the bough that the Trio was on, the largest branch was Obscura’s Divine Tree. Second only to the Divine Tree was the Plume Immortals’ great tree. Further down were the Mother Tree of the Divine Realm and other, similarly sized Mother Trees. Since the Divine Realm had left this bough, it must have gone to another one.
“Why did the Divine Realm leave?”
“Because the environment would not tolerate them. If they cannot adapt to the environment, then they will eventually be eliminated by the environment. Is there anything strange about that?” Wang Wen spoke casually, “Of course, you can also understand it as being unable to survive.”
Lu Yin heard something else in those words. “Are you saying that this bough is very dangerous?”
Wang Wen slowly smiled as he met Lu Yin's gaze. “Your Royal Chesspiece, don’t suddenly open Heaven's Sight to try to lock me in place. You cannot hold me.”
“I had no such thoughts.”
“That’s good. Your question just now was excellent. I will give you the answer.” Wang Wen spun his teacup around on the table. His voice dropped low. “The most dangerous.”
Lu Yin arched a brow. “Here?”
“Yes. No matter how you put it, the Divine Realm qualifies as a fishing civilization, and yet it was still forced to run away. What do you think?”
Lu Yin looked away. Is that really how it is?
Wang Wen rose. “All right, I should go. It’s nice to come and have a chat when there is nothing else. You are thinking of ways to kill me, while I am thinking of ways to exterminate this Human Trio. Everyone has something to do, haha!”
He then stepped away, and his figure slowly vanished. “Oh, right.” He suddenly glanced back at Lu Yin. “To make things more interesting, I’ll give you a heads up.”
Lu Yin slowly looked over to meet Wang Wen’s gaze.
“The one to destroy the Trio will definitely be the Death Megaverse.” With that, Wang Wen’s voice gradually faded away, along with his body, until both were gone.
Lu Yin continued to quietly sit at the table. He did not even notice when Long Xi took the teacup away.
A heads up? The one that will destroy the Trio will definitely be the Death Megaverse? Does he truly believe that, or has he seen something?
Several days later, Lu Yin arrived in the Consciousness Megaverse. He stared across the empty universe of the megaverse that was being reset. This had once been the location of the Willbound Spire, but there was nothing left here now.
The Origin Progenitor had left; would they truly meet again? When? Where? What would it be like when they reunited?
Lu Yin stayed in the Consciousness Megaverse for some time before heading to the Lu Sanctum. He was saying his farewells. It was time for him to take another path, and this time, it would be a few hundred years.
A few hundred years was still regarded as a very short amount of time.
Standing in the Lu family's cemetery, Lu Yin looked at one new tombstone after another. They all belonged to members of the Lu family who had fallen in the previous war.
The ones that drew the most attention were those of Lu Feiyang and Lu Hui. One had died at the hands of Death's Dominion. At the very start of the war, Lu Feiyang had been hung above the black plaza and even been targeted by Bone Script.
The other had been killed by Hong Xia. After saving Jiang Feng and Progenitor Chen, Lu Hui had been cut down by a single slash of Hong Xia’s sword.
Lu Yin still remembered the first time that he had seen the two. It felt as though not much time had passed since that day, and yet things had already changed beyond recognition.
Every member of the Lu family who awakened the innate gift of teleportation was regarded as a favored child of the heavens. Awakening that ability completely altered one’s status. They would enjoy the best cultivation resources that their human civilization could offer, receive cultivation arts that were tailored specifically for them, and be allowed to learn whatever they wished.
In the past, many people had envied those individuals, but at this moment, there was only silent respect.
When a person's virtue failed to match their status, they should not enjoy the benefits of their status. But Lu Feiyang and Lu Hui, despite enjoying the greatest resources that their human civilization could offer, had also received the teachings that were best suited to them. Their conduct, ideals, and everything about them had matched their status. No one could utter even half a word against the preferential treatment that they had received.
Aside from those two, many other members of the Lu family had also sacrificed themselves, and people had been continuously visiting the Lu Sanctum to pay their respects during this period.
“People only see what they gained, never seeing what they lost. This time, however, the price revealed to the world was quite tragic.” Ancestor Lu Yuan let out an emotional sigh as he looked over at the cemetery. His expression was rather dim at this moment.
Lu Yin looked up at the sky. In the distance, the branches of the Mother Tree were still verdant. It had become the only Mother Tree in the Trio. The Mother Tree in the Nine Odysseys Megaverse had collapsed.
The sound of children playing came from the distance, immediately followed by the sound of scolding adults.
Lu Yin looked over. He saw a child running around. He was clearly only a child, and even though the adults behind him were cultivators, they simply could not catch up. That was because the child was teleporting.
“His name is Lu Li. He awakened the innate gift of teleportation just a few days ago,” Ancestor Lu Yuan explained.
Lu Yin watched the child run around with innocent joy. His happiness was in sharp contrast to the oppressive atmosphere of the cemetery. Lu Yin did not know how long that child’s happiness could last for. Perhaps, after going into seclusion for just a short while, this child would already be an adult. Perhaps, in some accidental war, this child would be sacrificed.
The death of each emotional attachment was a blow to oneself.
Lu Yin looked away. “Ancestor, life is truly fragile.”
Ancestor Lu Yuan sighed and patted Lu Yin's shoulder. “And yet it also continues endlessly.”
After they left the cemetery, they saw Lu Buzheng standing nearby, seemingly waiting for Lu Yin. He walked over. “Third Uncle.”
Lu Buzheng had also been injured during the war. His aura was unstable, and his face was still pale, though his life was not in any danger. “I’m not disturbing you, am I?”
Lu Yin shook his head. “Are you looking for me because of Lu Huai?”
Lu Buzheng nodded. “When can he come back?”
“I’ll go take a look.”
“Thank you.” Lu Buzheng was grateful.
Lu Yin replied, “I should be the one thanking him. He is helping me with something.”
Lu Buzheng said, “He is helping our human civilization, not just you. Besides, that is not the only reason why I am thanking you.”
The man then looked towards the cemetery. Lu Yin understood. If Lu Huai had not been working on the star chart, but instead been in the Trio like Lu Feiyang and so many others, he might have also died in the war.
Enemies would do everything possible to kill anyone who could teleport.
That was what Lu Buzheng was grateful for.
“No one can predict when war will come. Third Uncle, if you thank me for this, then if Lu Huai encounters war next time, you’ll end up hating me instead,” Lu Yin said with a smile.
Lu Buzheng released a heavy sigh. “Once you have a child, your state of mind changes. I used to fear neither heaven nor earth. During the Heavens Sect era, I even dared to provoke Destiny. With Ancestor's support, I cultivated the Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique, and my confidence was higher than the heavens. I was confident that I could become a Progenitor. Now, becoming a Progenitor is no longer something difficult, and I accomplished that long ago, but that previous ambition is gone.
“I only hope that Lu Huai will take each step in the right manner. Even if he dies, he must not betray how our family raised him.”
Lu Yin understood. “Don’t worry. He is outstanding.”
He then teleported away, took out the gate that he had received from Black after entering outer space, and then passed through it.
Truthfully, not even Lu Yin knew where Lu Huai was. It was possible that he was preparing a star chart for a region extremely far away from the Trio.
Lu Yin arrived at the central coordinates for the star chart and then began searching the area, relying on the Lu family's unique method to find Lu Huai.
The man was staring off into the distance and working on the star chart. When Lu Yin appeared, he hurriedly bowed. “Lord Lu.”
“How is it going?”
Lu Huai reported, “I can complete it in no more than 100 years, which is a little faster than expected.”
Lu Yin was impressed. “It’s been more than a thousand years. You’ve worked hard.”
Lu Huai remained respectful. “I only hope that this can be of help to you, Lord Lu.”
“Call me Seventh Bro.”
Lu Huai's body trembled, and he looked at Lu Yin in surprise.
Lu Yin smiled at him. “In terms of our family’s seniority, you are from a much older generation than me. Does calling me Seventh Bro offend you?”
Lu Huai grew excited. “Thank you, Lord Lu- no, Seventh Bro.”
Lu Yin did not mention the war the Trio had just fought. Lu Huai would learn everything after returning home.
He did quickly take Lu Huai to the Mirari Realm to improve his Mirrorlight Art to allow him to see a greater distance. Before this, he had only been able to see a distance of 70 years’ travel, but Lu Yin quickly increased that limit to 200 years. It would be much easier for Lu Huai to complete the star chart now.
After sending Lu Huai back to finish the star chart, Lu Yin returned to the Lu Sanctum and updated Lu Buzheng on the situation. The man was grateful for the information.
Lu Yin then left again. Lu Buzheng's temperament had completely changed. After his child was born, the man had become far more concerned about his blood ties. Was that different from Lu Yin's concern for humanity as a whole?
Lu Yin teleported to the crown of the Mother Tree. Below him, the Divine Eagle flew past while letting out a cry. Right after that, the Python Ancestor crawled up the trunk, causing the massive tree to sway slightly.
“Don’t worry. I will definitely find Senior Origin Progenitor,” Lu Yin told them.
The Divine Eagle cried out again and flew away, but the Python Ancestor did not leave. It coiled around the trunk, just as it previously had in the Lower Realm.
Hm? Lu Yin suddenly looked over. Someone familiar appeared on a massive branch in the distance.
“Hurry up! We’ve been watching it for so long. We’ll definitely get it this time!”
“I don’t want to go. It stinks too much.”
“The stinkier, the better! Lord Fish has a premonition that I will definitely transform with this!”
“You’ve been saying that for thousands of years.”
“Hm? Very well, little girl, you dare talk back to Lord Fish now, do you? I don’t think that you want to surpass that Lu Yin anymore.”
“Shh! Don’t speak nonsense! Lord Lu's name can’t be spoken so casually now. If someone hears you, we’ll be beaten.”
“What are you afraid of? He is Lord Fish's mount! Lord Fish can call him whatever I want.”
“Stop talking! I’ll help you look for it. I do not want to be beaten again.”
“As timid as a mouse… Back then, Lord Fish should not have hesitated. Lu Yin begged to become Lord Fish's mount, and yet Lord Fish disdained to even look at him and chose you instead. How tragic. Even now, you still can’t beat that stupid bird, and Lord Fish is forced to sneak around to chase it.”
“All right, I know.”
“What kind of tone is that? You dare to be impatient with me? Hurry up and find it for Lord Fish! You must find it.”
“What are you looking for?” someone asked.
“What the hell does it have to do with you? Does this Lord Fish need to report what I am looking for to you?”
“I’ll help you.”
“You-” The voice abruptly cut off. Lu Yin smiled at the two as Xi Qi stared at him, wide-eyed and instinctively covering the foul fish's mouth. She was terrified that it would say something unpleasant.
The nasty fish also reacted at that moment. It looked at Lu Yin, and its eyes started darting about.
“What are you looking for?” Lu Yin was curious.
Xi Qi hurriedly bowed. “G- greetings, Lord Lu.”
Lu Yin looked at the foul fish on top of her head. So many years had passed, and yet this pair was still the same as ever.
Back when he had first come into contact with lockbreaking, he had seen a video of Xi Qi opening a sourcebox. At that time, he had felt rather envious of her. Who would have thought that what she released would be such a despicable fish? From that moment on, Xi Qi's life had taken a different direction, a direction that left countless people dumbfounded.
She had been turned into a mount by a fish, and one with an especially foul mouth at that.
Still, the fish did have some ability. During the Heavens Sect era, it had originally been used by the Origin Progenitor to train the Divine Eagle. However, Ancestor Lu Yuan had wanted to make things more exciting, so he had taught the fish to insult others. Soon after that, the fish had gained enlightenment, and the Divine Eagle had suffered greatly. As time passed, the nasty fish had become increasingly unrestrained and foul-mouthed, until it dared to say anything at all.
