Chapter 3272: Attempt



Chapter 3272: Attempt

Progenitor Hui was no different from Wu Tian. In order to deceive and outmaneuver Aeternus to reverse humanity's disadvantageous position, Progenitor Hui had sacrificed his own son, and ultimately, himself.

Humanity's survival and victory had all been built upon the sacrifices of many different people.

"Dao Monarch Lu, deliver a message to Wu Tian for me," Undying God stated as he stared at Lu Yin. During the battle at the Immemorial Citadel, Undying God had made a point of avoiding Wu Tian, and he had instead chosen to fight against Burial Garden’s Tombkeeper. It was possible that Undying God did not know how to face Wu Tian, or that he simply did not want to.

"I owe him nothing, and he owes me nothing. Even if he hadn't been imprisoned in the Scourge, I wouldn't have fought Aeternus to the death for the sake of humanity. What does humanity's survival have to do with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Undying God’s body exploded and transformed into one of Eternal Decree’s seeds that floated in the air in front of Lu Yin.

He stared at the seed. No one could predict the future. Undying God, who had once been known as Wu Xing, had wanted Wu Tian to be free. As far as Wu Xing was concerned, he had been more aware than anyone else.

Lu Yin grabbed the seed and crushed it. From that moment on, Undying God would never appear again.

Lu Yin's attention shifted to the distance. Blackless God had fled, but Xu Jin had stayed behind.

Far away, an eyeball rolled about within a dark cloud. It was Xu Jin.

"I'm curious. Why didn't you use True God’s Natural Art at the Immemorial Citadel?" Lu Yin asked.

The eye spun, and the dark cloud shifted to flee. Xu Jin wanted to stay alive. As long as its seed remained intact, it would be able to revive. It was already quite clear that it could not take Lu Yin in a direct fight.

Lu Yin watched Xu Jin escape and then moved at the speed of time with Inverse Step.

Everything nearby froze, aside from the dark cloud that was racing away, an eyeball inside it constantly rolling about.

Lu Yin vanished and instantly reappeared in front of Xu Jin.

He had used Lightstream to cross both time and space.

The eye stared blankly at Lu Yin. "You've already killed me once. Let me go. I'm already dead."

Lu Yin looked at Xu Jin. "Resurrecting with True God's Eternal Decree involves many limitations. Some of your powers can't be used anymore. You haven’t truly been resurrected."

"So what? As long as I'm alive, that's enough!" Xu Jin shouted.

Lu Yin felt disappointed. He had considered keeping Xu Jin alive in order to absorb the creature’s consciousness again and heal the star of consciousness. Unfortunately, Lu Yin had since realized that the resurrections were not authentic. All of the power that the returned being used came from True God. It was all fake.

Xu Jin's consciousness could no longer help Lu Yin.

Lu Yin raised his hand and pressed it back down.

The deck sank. Xu Jin let out a howl as it was exterminated. Only a seed was left behind.

Lu Yin was too familiar with Xu Jin’s abilities. The eyeball had possessed an innate gift that allowed it to see both the visible and the invisible. If he hadn’t already fought and killed the Three Pillars and Six Skies, Lu Yin would have had more more trouble dealing with his various opponents.

It was precisely his well-developed knowledge of his opponents that let Lu Yin resolve things so quickly.

After crushing another seed, Lu Yin looked at the end of the Ossis Ark. There were still a few left.

The Ossis Ark continued to break apart. Violent tremors ran through the ship as it split in two.

Lu Yin watched half of the Ossis Ark drift away. On the distant half was True God and his followers.

Lu Yin frowned. Where had Forgotten Ruins God and Wang Xiaoyu gone? They should have also been aboard the Ossis Ark. Similarly, Blackless God had already fled. That one was his gift for True God.

"Dao Monarch Lu, I’m quite impressed. You chased after all of my Aeternals on your own and even managed to destroy my Ossis Ark. You’ve nearly eliminated all of the Three Pillars and Six Skies. Not even Tai Chu could have accomplished so much," True God's voice rang out.

Lu Yin answered coldly, "If the Origin Progenitor were here, you wouldn't survive."

True God gave a small smile. "Are you saying that you don’t believe that you can kill me?"

"I’ve never believed that I could kill you. I'm just doing my best to ensure that the Great Sovereign's sacrifice won’t be in vain," Lu Yin retorted. He then started to move through space. He was making his way towards the broken half of the Ossis Ark. He was not going to destroy the bones, but rather take them with him.

"Tai Hong? She was nothing more than a madwoman. Her restrictions won't be able to last for very long," True God stated.

Lu Yin stared at him. "You’re right. She was a madwoman, but that madwoman managed to change history."

During the battle in the Scourge, Lu Yin had not fully comprehended True God’s power. He had once had an impulse to gather humanity's strongest powerhouses and have them work together to take True God down, but the battle on the black Mother Tree at the Immemorial Citadel had shown Lu Yin the truth. True God had rendered Lu Yin completely powerless. Even as a Progenitor, Lu Yin did not believe that he had bridged that gap.

True God was the strongest being in the megaverse. The only ones who might be able to stand against him were the Origin Progenitor and Mister Mu. Lu Yin was still no match.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to take Mister Mu or anyone else along while Lu Yin traversed the River of Aeons. Changing his location in the past was similar to reversing his own ripple in the water, but he could only reverse his own ripple, not anyone else's. If he could, he would not be traversing time, but rather reversing it, and the subsequent karma for such an action would result in unimaginable consequences.

When it came to traversing the River of Aeons, Mister Mu had warned Lu Yin that any cause he altered that did not belong to Lu Yin himself would result in severe effects.

For example, if Lu Yin carried people in a Zenith Mountain while traversing the River of Aeons, there would not be any issues, as long as their timelines never overlapped. However, if anyone in a Zenith Mountain managed to alter their own karmic cause while traveling through time, it would alter someone else’s effect.

This meant that no one who had fought at the Immemorial Citadel could be taken along with Lu Yin. That was why he had chased after the Ossis Ark alone.

Facing True God alone was not just a challenge for Lu Yin, but also a tribute to the Great Sovereign.

If not for the Great Sovereign’s sacrifice to restrain True God, the battle at the Immemorial Citadel might have ended very differently.

Even so, Lu Yin needed to at least try. Whether or not he managed to kill True God, he had to at least make an attempt, so that the Great Sovereign's sacrifice would not be in vain.

Soil covered space overhead. It was from Lu Yin’s inner universe. Infinity swirled above the landmass, taking on the form of various astrological phenomena. All together, an incredible amount of pressure fell upon True God's half of the Ossis Ark. The earth was below and the sky above, but then the earth was above and the sky was below. Lu Yin had overturned everything with Flipping the Sky.

This Flipping the Sky was stronger than any other time he had ever used. The earth was his Dust World, which had become a Progenitor’s world, and the resulting pressure was not from Dust World alone. There was also the astrological phenomena in the sky that had been produced by Infinity, which was a Progenitor’s world that represented the pinnacle of physical strength in the megaverse.

Beside True God, Ancient God’s expression turned somber. He let out a breath and prepared to make a move, but True God stopped him.

As he looked up, True God admired what he saw. "Your comprehension technique. When you first created it, as Lu Xiaoxuan, I was amazed. Even Lu Yuan made an appearance, and the Seven Skygods attacked the Perennial World as a sign of respect for you. Lord Lu, whether you were Lu Xiaoxuan or Lu Yin, your talent has always been astonishing.

"But aren’t you underestimating me? Tai Hong may have made it difficult for me to act, but that doesn't mean that I can't defend myself. The limits of my Dominion are beyond anything you can imagine."

With that, Yong Heng leapt up to stand at the top of the broken Ossis Ark, and he allowed Flipping the Sky to fall upon him.

Flipping the Sky passed through the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realm, and continued on, straight for True God.

The Dominion manifested as a dark-red glow that hid beneath the golden light of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realm. The barrier was struck by Flipping the Sky, and the impact created cracks that spread across the fragment of the Ossis Ark beneath True God. The man raised his arms and held Flipping the Sky back while staring straight at Lu Yin.

Boom!

The universe trembled, and terrifying spatial cracks tore through everything as they spread outwards.

Lu Yin's Flipping the Sky was not enough to break through True God's Dominion.

Lu Yin had obtained incredible power, but he still could not break the Dominion. It was a barrier that could even stop an Ortuser. Even if it was possible for Lu Yin to eventually break it, he would need a very long time to do so.

During the final battle at the Immemorial Citadel, even the combined efforts of the God of Death’s scythe, Lu Yuan, and Progenitor Chen had not been enough to break through the Dominion. The barrier was simply too strong.

A smile touched True God's lips, even as a trickle of blood ran from the corner of his mouth. He was not entirely unscathed by the attack, as he was forced to hold off both the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realm and Flipping the Sky. Even as the strongest being in the megaverse, this was a heavy burden. "Dao Monarch Lu, look over there."

Lu Yin followed True God's finger and saw Tian En, the butterfly.

Tian En had already escaped from the Ossis Ark and was flying away, trying to escape.

"You only have one chance. Either pursue us, or her. The choice is yours," True God stated firmly.

Far away, Tian En’s wings were fluttering desperately. She was unable to break out of the universe that they were in. At this moment, she hated True God deeply. He had forced her out of the Ossis Ark and then trapped her in the universe, using his Dominion on her. She was well aware of the man’s intentions.

However, it was impossible for the butterfly to escape. She was still badly wounded from the battle at the Immemorial Citadel. Even Ancient God was capable of easily overpowering Tian En at this point in time. She was being used to present Lu Yin with a choice: to go after the Boundary Guardian, or to go after True God and his companions.

Tian En, a once magnificent and respected Boundary Guardian, had fallen so far that she was nothing more than a choice. It was a tragic fate.

She had never imagined she could face such a day, never.

She and the other Boundary Guardians had once surrounded and attacked the Origin Progenitor himself. They had forced the most powerful beings in the megaverse to become slaves to an omnipotent being. How had things developed to this point? She refused to accept it.

She did not want to die like Tian Fa. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

In the middle of outer space, Lu Yin watched as True God's Ossis Ark drifted farther away. A choice?

"An interesting choice, isn't it, Dao Monarch?" True God's voice echoed across the distance.

Lu Yin looked at the man and also saw Ancient God and Skydog.

Two men and a dog. They were all that remained of Aeternus. Of course, there was also the missing Forgotten Ruins God, Wang Xiaoyu, and Blackless God.

In the opposite direction, there was a butterfly trying to escape.

Lu Yin knew that he could not kill True God. Ancient God was also being controlled by True God and had no choice but to help the man. Finally, there was the indestructible Skydog.

The reason why True God had offered Lu Yin such a choice was because the man did not want Lu Yin to continue tracking them. While Lu Yin was incapable of killing Yong Heng, if he was able to keep track of the man’s movements, it was possible to wait for Mister Mu and others to arrive. If that happened, True God would be forced into a very difficult position.

As for Lu Yin, he was not confident that he could keep track of True God. If True God sent Ancient God to do all that he could to hold Lu Yin off, True God would be able to escape from Lu Yin, and that would render Lu Yin’s efforts meaningless.

He looked away from the butterfly and stared straight at True God. "One question."

True God was intrigued. "Tell me."

"Everything you are doing right now, is it by choice?" Lu Yin spoke slowly. His voice was not loud, yet it rang like a bell, echoing in the minds of both True God and Ancient God.

Ancient God automatically looked over at True God, and even the Skydog looked up at the man.

There was greater depth to True God’s eyes as he stared at Lu Yin. "It’s time for you to make your choice."

Lu Yin closed his eyes and stopped. He allowed the half of the shattered Ossis Ark that was carrying True God and his companions to drift away. After that, Lu Yin turned to look at Tian En. Lu Yin’s eyes turned ice cold.

The distant butterfly turned around and met Lu Yin's icy stare. She softly said, "Dao Monarch, we are not yet at the point where we must fight to the death."

"As far as I’m concerned, we are," Lu Yin retorted as he took a step forward. He shot through the void to instantly appear behind the butterfly.

At that moment, the power that had kept the butterfly trapped within the parallel universe disappeared. Light erupted from the butterfly’s body, and a glow spread across the universe like an illusion from a dream.
