Star Odyssey

alized that this person looked very similar to the desiccated corpse.
The man reflexively released Lu Yin.
”What the hell? ”

The other nearby cultivators also turned to stare at Lu Yin in surprise, though the two who were keeping the corpse occupied continued to fight it.

The corpse only had a power level of about 200,000, and the people who had been following it were all Enlighters.

”What are you doing? ” Lu Yin asked.

The cultivator who had tried to drag Lu Yin away just stared at him.
”You can talk? Aren ’t you a corpse? ”

Lu Yin glanced over at the dried up corpse and understood the situation.
”You guys are fishing with those corpses, huh.
Are you looking for ancient bloodlines? ”

”Im glad that you figured it out, so come with us.
Were sending you into Burial Garden. ” The man tried to pull Lu Yin away once again.

Lu Yin shook his head and disappeared.
Right after that, the desiccated corpse stopped moving.

The group of people were all startled, and they glanced at each other.
They all realized that they had just targeted a true powerhouse.

”Were lucky that he didnt attack us! He cleared the corpses detection range in an instant.
Thats not someone we can go up against. ” One person was terrified by what had happened.

”What now? Keep going? ”

”Of course we continue! He didnt attack us, which basically means that he approves of us fishing for more ancient bloodlines with the corpse.
What are you so afraid of? Arent all the most powerful organizations in the universe doing the same thing? If we dont flush out the ancient bloodlines, then how can we make sure that the inheritances in Burial Garden will activate? ”

”Those people are the most ruthless there are.
You and I might be grabbing the people with ancient bloodlines, but those powers are the ones controlling us. ”

”You dont need to say it out loud! No one likes to hear that.
Lets just keep going.
There are many people with ancient bloodlines, and we can always find more. ”

Of course, Lu Yin was indeed hoping that more people with ancient bloodlines would appear.
Even though people were sneaky and clever enough to come up with ways to control the people with ancient bloodlines and force them to enter Burial Garden, those people were still obtaining many unique inheritances in Burial Garden.
Hua Wu and Unseen Light were both examples of that.

Standing at different heights allowed people to see different perspectives.

An ordinary cultivator would hope for the people at the top to make decisions that benefited them, especially regarding the ancient bloodlines.
However, the people standing at the top were not seeing individual gains and losses, but rather what would benefit the entire Fifth Mainland.

The more inheritances that appeared, the better it would be for the Fifth Mainland, regardless of who obtained them.
In particular, those who knew about the Aeternals had this bigger picture in mind.
It did not matter who obtained the inheritances, as all of humanity had a common enemy: the Aeternals.

The more inheritances that were acquired, the greater the blow to the Aeternals.
This was the entire reason why Burial Garden had opened.

The ancient bloodlines were the key, and the people with those bloodlines could either obtain an inheritance for themselves or be used by others.
It was all dependent on their destiny.

This was the way of the universe.

Lu Yin had no intention to act as a guardian for the ancient bloodlines.
He did not have the energy to attempt such a thing.
If he happened to stumble upon a situation, he would help if possible, but he would not make himself into an enemy of the entire universe just to help the people.

In fact, Lu Yin even had hopes that the ancient bloodlines would be found and that their bearers would be tossed into Burial Garden.
That was the only way that even more inheritances could be released and used to deal with the Aeternals.

The thinking of those at the top had always been different from that of ordinary people, and it was because their perspectives were different.

Still, Lu Yin had always maintained a bottom line.
For example, in order to establish a battlefield for the Sixth Mainland to fight upon, he had given up Ironblood Weave.
He would one day take the weave back and fulfill the promise that he had made to the defenders of the weave.
This was Lu Yins bottom line.
He was willing to make sacrifices for the greater good, but whatever he sacrificed would have to one day be taken back.

As these thoughts ran through his mind, he arrived at Black Street.

Back in Burial Garden, Dojo Master Si stared off into the distance at the enormous wandering corpse of an astral beast that was carrying a palace upon its back.
A terrible killing intent flared up in her eyes, and water flowed out of the void to surround a group of people who were following the giant corpse.
The water quickly took on the form of the Water Gods Tears.

By the time the giant was completely out of sight, rivers of blood flowed across the ground.

Yang Kong emerged from the void.
”As expected of the master of Water God Dojo.
Youre quite ruthless with your attacks. ”

Dojo Master Si replied indifferently, ”If they don ’t die, I will. ”

Yang Kong smiled.
”If only that Lie Yanzi could be as smart as you. ”

Dojo Master Si grew puzzled.
”What happened to him? ”

Yang Kong looked upwards.
”I mentioned before we entered Burial Garden that none of you could leave Burial Garden and that you had to first speak with me if you wanted to leave.
No one would be allowed to leave without my consent.
Unfortunately, Lie Yanzi did exactly that, so hes going to die. ”

”How do you know that he left Burial Garden? ” Dojo Master Si wondered.

Yang Kong casually replied, ”The communication crystals wont connect, which means that he has either been destroyed, or hes left.
Regardless, it means that his life is over. ”

Dojo Master Sis eyes narrowed.
Yang Kong was casually speaking about an Envoys death, and his words truly did mean that Lie Yanzi would die.
Yang Kong was clearly far more ruthless than Dojo Master Si, and he handled his affairs in the same manner as the Aeternals.

Lu Yin and Ming Yan were reunited in Black Street, though his appearance startled her quite badly.
He was forced to explain himself multiple times before Ming Yan actually believed that Lu Yin was who he claimed to be.

Suddenly, the poisons in his body erupted.

Lu Yin spat out a mouthful of blood, and he felt his life fading.
His expression changed completely.
”This is bad! ”

As he spoke, he quickly consumed some medicinal pills to help him survive.

Ming Yan was startled, and she grabbed Lu Yin tightly.
”Brother Lu, what ’s wrong? ”

”Bring out your white-haired self! Ive been poisoned with Vitality Poison, ” Lu Yin said in a low voice.
He had not expected the poison to erupt so suddenly and without any sort of warning.
