Star Odyssey

Chapter 2776: Forgotten Ruins God And Lu Yin

Before long, Lu Yin successfully found the information about Gu Yue, and he walked back out of the stone tower with a gloomy expression. He swept through the Emperor Domain with his domain and quickly found Old Bo.

In the past, Xuan Qi had arrested Old Bo on suspicions of the man being a spy, but he had never had the time to fully deal with the matter. Now was the time to settle things.

Ever since Xuan Qi had left the Three Monarchs Universe, Old Bo had relaxed. He understood that, as long as Xuan Qi did not have any proof that he was a spy, it was just a matter of time before he was released. To begin with, he was the person in the Three Monarchs Universe who was the most familiar with Gu Yue, which made Old Bo useful to Monarch Luo. Secondly, Old Bo had someone supporting him.

As long as there was no proof that Old Bo was a spy, he knew that he would be fine.

This was why Old Bo had been enjoying himself, right until he was yanked away by Lu Yin’s domain and smashed to the ground.

Monarch Xing did not stop Lu Yin. As long as he did not go too far, she would not stop him from doing as he wished to avoid causing a fight, which would displease the Great Sovereign.

Luo Shan had already been sent to the Endless Frontier, and neither Monarch Xing nor Chen Le could afford to be sent over as well, as that would doom the Three Monarchs Universe.

This was also why Monarch Xing showed no emotion when interacting with Lu Yin. He had managed to leave the Endless Frontier incredibly quickly, which made everyone afraid of him.

Old Bo crawled up from underground even though all of his bones had been broken by that attack. He struggled to lift his head and looked around in a daze. Just who had attacked him?

He was not far from the Mo Courtyard, which meant that Old Greenpeel and the other Semi-Monarchs immediately noticed the commotion and hurried over. The moment they arrived, they noticed Lu Yin and felt that it was an unlucky day for them.

When Old Bo saw Monarch Xing, he endured his pain to kneel on the ground. "Greetings, Monarch Xing."

Monarch Xing showed no reaction at all.

Lu Yin walked over to Old Bo, who nervously looked up at the man who had suddenly appeared. "Who might you be, sir?"

Lu Yin looked down at Old Bo. "You know who Gu Yue is, right?"

Old Bo was terribly confused. By all reason, he should not be facing any difficulties regarding Gu Yue while in the Three Monarchs Universe. And yet, he had just been dragged out and smashed into the ground. Clearly, something had gone terribly wrong.

"No, he’s no stranger to me," Old Bo answered out of reflex.

Lu Yin stared down at the man. "I am from the same universe as Gu Yue."

Old Bo’s expression changed drastically, and he looked over at Monarch Xing. "Madam, this- this-"

He could not understand why this man had not been captured if he was from Gu Yue's universe. People from that universe should be regarded as subhumans in the Three Monarchs Universe, just like Gu Yue’s descendants who had been enslaved by Old Bo.

Behind Old Greenpeel, a man’s face grew pale. His name was Ban Bianhong, and he was the guardian of the Astral Pathfinders, as well as Old Bo’s backer.

Ban Bianhong had also been involved in Gu Yue’s affairs. The Semi-Monarch was the one who had let Old Bo take action so that he could be recognized by Monarch Luo. Ban Bianhong had also supported all of the Astral Pathfinders’ actions for many years.

At this moment, the Semi-Monarch felt disaster looming.

"Gu Yue is my respected senior, and yet you attacked him and even enslaved his descendants. What do you think I should do to you?" Lu Yin spoke slowly, but when Old Bo heard Lu Yin’s words, the old man stopped breathing.

So this was why he had just been attacked.

But why was this happening? Gu Yue’s universe should have been easily enslaved by their Three Monarchs Universe and its people reduced to subhumans. So just why had he been attacked?

Old Bo suddenly looked over at Ban Bianhong. "Senior, please help me! Senior, about Gu Yue-"

"Shut up!" Ban Bianhong was startled by Old Bo’s reaction, and he quickly stopped the man from continuing to speak.

Lu Yin looked over at Ban Bianhong. Lu Yin had known from the beginning that a Semi-Monarch had been supporting the Astral Pathfinders, but because the Three Monarchs Universe had been trying to open the spatial passage to the Origin Universe, Lu Yin had not been able to deal with that matter before. On top of that, it was not something that Xuan Qi could handle. It appeared that it was now time to settle both of these matters at once.

Ban Bianhong and Lu Yin stared at each other, and the Semi-Monarch felt as though a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood had suddenly appeared before him. His expression changed drastically, and he did not even realize that he had rushed over to Monarch Xing. This was the Semi-Monarch’s instinctive reaction after many years of battle; he knew that only Monarch Xing could protect him, as this stranger was about to attack him.

Unfortunately he was already too late.

The void trembled as Ban Bianhong took a step forward, but the chaotic space caused him to arrive right in front of Lu Yin. The man’s body collapsed due to being injured by the chaotic space. He fell to his knees and spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to move.

Monarch Xing looked over. "This is going too far."

Lu Yin placed a hand on Ban Bianhong's shoulder. "Gu Yue must be avenged.”

"The Astral Pathfinders are a group in the Three Monarchs Universe that specializes in discovering parallel universes and enslaving the inhabitants. I would like to think that you, Senior Monarch Xing, are not that kind of person. Why do you tolerate the existence of such a revolting organization?"

Monarch Xing's eyes flickered. Of course she hated the Astral Pathfinders, but for her Starlight Universe, she had willingly put on a public act of being Luo Shan's wife and had remained in the Three Monarchs Universe for countless years. Everything that she had done was for the sake of the Starlight Universe, as she wanted to protect her home. For someone like Monarch Xing, it was only natural that she would utterly despise the Astral Pathfinders.

However, Luo Shan allowed their existence, which meant that Monarch Xing had no choice but tolerate them as well.

"Senior Monarch Xing, regardless of whether you allow it or not, I will be taking these two away, as well as Senior Gu Yue's descendants. If you refuse, then you are welcome to use the power of the Three Monarchs Universe to try to stop me. But if you agree, then I, Lu Yin, will owe you a favor."

Everyone from the Mo Courtyard was silently watching Ban Bianhong's tragic fate unfold. If Monarch Xing agreed to Lu Yin’s request, she would lose the support of the Semi-Monarchs. However, did she need that support? Her only desire was to protect her original universe, and she regarded the Three Monarchs Universe as Luo Shan and Monarch Mu’s responsibility.

She looked at Lu Yin, whose back was to her. He was utterly confident despite not being a peak powerhouse. He was a complete mystery.

Also, a favor from Lu Yin would be of immeasurable value.

Monarch Xing said nothing, which Lu Yin understood as tacit acceptance. He started making his way towards the spatial passage, dragging Old Bo, Ban Bianhong, and all of Gu Yue's descendants along with him.

This was a traumatizing day for the Mo Courtyard. Even though Ban Bianhong was a nasty and disliked person, he had still been a member of the Mo Courtyard, as well as someone from the Three Monarchs Universe. Despite that status, the man had still been dragged away by Lu Yin without any fuss.

The Three Monarchs Universe was supposed to have invaded that universe, so how had things ended up so differently?

Lu Yin alone had suppressed the Three Monarchs Universe as a whole. Were they really still part of the Sixverse Association?

What was the point of even having the Mo Courtyard?

Among Gu Yue’s descendants, there was the servant who had been serving the Astral Pathfinders when Lu Yin had first visited them and who had been caught hiding his child. At that time, Lu Yin had been acting as Xuan Qi, and while he had been able to arrest Old Bo, he had not been able to help the servant at all. However, Lu Yin was finally able to do just that.

"Do you hate Gu Yue?" Lu Yin suddenly asked.

In total, there were dozens of people being led away by Lu Yin, all of whom were descendants of Gu Yue, and all of whom had been slaves.

"I don't hate him," replied the man Lu Yin had seen before. Lu Yin glanced over. How could he not hate Gu Yue? How could any of these people not hate Gu Yue?

It was true that Gu Yue was their ancestor, but being his descendants had caused all of them to be slaves for generations. How could they not hate him?

Even so, Lu Yin intended to leave all of these people, including Old Bo and Ban Bianhong, for Grandmaster Gu Yan to deal with.

Upon arriving at the spatial passage, the Three Monarchs Universe’s guards saw Lu Yin, and they held their breath. They did not dare to act rashly and simply allowed Lu Yin to leave.

Just as Lu Yin was about to leave the universe, he stopped. He sent the entire group through the passage and to Shenwu Continent, left his orders behind, and then started moving towards the rainbow wall. There was an old acquaintance who had come to say hi.

...

Beyond the rainbow wall, a Progenitor-level corpse king punched forward, smashing Chen Le's arrows apart.

Bai Sheng wielded his Superior Heavenly Cudgel, violently bringing it down. The corpse king looked up and roared before throwing out another punch, this time forcing Bai Sheng to retreat, and the Progenitor nearly lost his Superior Heavenly Cudgel as a result. Bai Sheng looked into his opponent’s red eyes and felt that he was facing an unshakable monster.

"This corpse king is extremely powerful," Bai Sheng solemnly said. Any Progenitor-level corpse king that was able to undergo a Corpse King Transformation was a terrible opponent, and even Chen Le’s arrows and Bai Sheng’s Superior Heavenly Cudgel were unable to leave the slightest injuries.

From the distance, a lovely voice called out, "Little girl, you are no match for me. Go home."

It was Forgotten Ruins God, and she was facing both Xia Qin and Specter Progenitor. The two Progenitors were being forced back by her Sky-Devouring Nine Wolves.

"Dead End!" Specter Progenitor’s arms rose as he formed a guillotine with his death energy. The guillotine filled the sky as the blade of death energy slashed across it.

Forgotten Ruins God just sneered, and a wolf head opened its mouth, devouring the Dead End in one bite.

Specter Progenitor was horrified by the sight, and he retreated backwards again and again. Every last one of the Seven Skygods were incredibly powerful.

"Wang Fan, your clone is no match for me," Forgotten Ruins God said with a smile. She then looked past Specter Progenitor and Xia Qin to Lu Yin, who had just arrived at the rainbow wall. Upon seeing him, Forgotten Ruins God’s eyes lit up. "Haha, Look who's here! Little Lu Yin, how have you been lately?"

Lu Yin stood atop the rainbow wall and looked out at the distant form of Forgotten Ruins God, a solemn expression on his face.

This was the old acquaintance who had arrived to say hello.

Long ago, he had realized that the Seven Skygods were each powerful and terrible opponents. But then, he had nearly killed Undying God with the slipper, which had given him a great deal of relief. It was proof that the Seven Skygods were not invincible.

It had not been until his battle with Old Mo on the Endless Frontier that Lu Yin had truly understood just how terrifying a peak powerhouse who could control sequence particles could be. It was only then that he understood why the Sixverse Association and the four ruling powers were so terrified of the Seven Skygods.

As for Undying God, when Lu Yin had attacked him with the slipper, the Skygod had been trapped by the Python Ancestor, and his ability to influence sequence particles had to have been restrained by something. If not for that, even ten slippers would have been useless against Undying God, as Lu Yin would not have even been able to attack.

That was the power of the Seven Skygods.

How many people in the megaverse truly understood the horror of the Seven Skygods?

"Hey, what’s with that expression?" Forgotten Ruins God smiled at Lu Yin. Her face was stunningly beautiful, and the sight of the strange flower mark on her face caused Specter Progenitor’s breath to quicken. The Skygod possessed an irresistible charm, and her sparkling eyes were enchanting. "Little Lu Yin, are you afraid of me?"

The war in outer space came to a standstill. As Forgotten Ruins God spoke, a strange, cold, unpredictable, and terrifying aura spread out.

No one knew where the aura had come from or when it had appeared. It was simply there the moment the Skygod finished speaking, and the aura startled everyone, from the regular cultivators to the peak powerhouses like Specter Progenitor, Chen Le, Bai Sheng. All of them turned to look at Forgotten Ruins God in unision.

Despite the smile on her face and her casual tone, at this moment, Forgotten Ruins God gave everyone an unfamiliar feeling.

An unfamiliar feeling? How absurd!

Bai Sheng became more solemn than ever before. He had faced Forgotten Ruins God in the Dominion Realm before. In fact, of the Seven Skygods Gods, aside from the most mysterious Whiteless God, every last one of them had visited the Dominion Realm in the past. Bai Sheng should be quite familiar with Forgotten Ruins God, so why did he feel like he was seeing her for the first time at this moment? Bai Sheng had never sensed anything like this aura before.

Xia Qin and Specter Progenitor felt the exact same way, suddenly feeling as though they were seeing Forgotten Ruins God for the first time.

Lu Yin and Forgotten Ruins God stared at each other. Her gaze created a pressure so extraordinary that most people could not even imagine it. This was more than just the gaze of Forgotten Ruins God.
