Chapter 2990: Progenitor Ku’s Wish

Chapter 2990: Progenitor Ku’s Wish

When he saw Big Sis agree, Lu Yin let out a sigh of relief. He did not want Big Sis to go after him.

However, if Big Sis’ Abyssal Flower had once managed to trap one of the Seven Skygods, then why was it so weak at the moment? Was it because the power that she had lost to the river of time had not fully returned to her? Or had it been consumed somehow?

Jing Zhe heard their conversation, though he had no idea what a champion or an abyssal flower was. All the worm knew was that he was in grave danger. "Human, I know Aeternus’s secrets. I have been to the other Scourges. Release me, and I’ll help you deal with the Aeternals. Humans, do you hear me?”

Big Sis glanced at Lu Yin, but he made no attempt to stop her. She understood that there was no need to waste any more time, so she caused her flower to quickly close.

Jing Zhe's screams grew louder and louder. He thrashed and banged against the sides of the flower and tried to spit out more dirt in an attempt to consume the Abyssal Flower’s sequence particles. However, every time the worm tried to eject the dirt, his mouth would be blocked by Xu Wuwei’s sequence particles. It was infuriating, and Jing Zhe looked like an earthworm that had been caught on a fishing line as he twisted and struggled.

Finally, the Abyssal Flower completely closed. Inside, Jing Zhe's body paused, and both halves of his body froze. A purple light flowed from the flower and wrapped around Jing Zhe. As Lu Yin and the other two watched on in amazement, the purple light absorbed all of the blood from Jing Zhe's body, and the worm shriveled at a visible rate.

It was a shocking scene, but the beauty of the flower separated it from violence.

Jing Zhe enjoyed transforming living creatures to dust, leaving their blood behind as a warning to others, but at this moment, his own blood had been absorbed by Big Sis’ Abyssal Flower. It was a fitting end.

The worm’s screams disappeared. His eyes turned white and then gray. There was no hint of life remaining. The corpse fell, passing through the Abyssal Flower and plummeting into the lake below.

The Abyssal Flower bloomed again, and its purple light spread across the entire Voidforce Universe. It was stunning to see.

The Iceheart was the most beautiful flower that Lu Yin had ever seen, but Big Sis’ Abyssal Flower was comparable to the Iceheart.

Lu Yin used Heaven’s Sight to observe the Abyssal Flower.

He had never figured out what sequence particles Big Sis had mastered, as Lu Yin had never asked. He could only see that the Abyssal Flower was covered with sequence particles that radiated a beautiful purple light. They flowed about the flower in a beautiful and dangerous manner.

This was the true Progenitor Yōu Ming.

The Abyssal Flower slowly disappeared, and Big Sis heaved a sigh of relief. "Finally, I’ve started to recover."

Xu Wuwei was stunned. He knew that if he were to fall into the Abyssal Flower, he would never be able to escape. This was Progenitor Yōu Ming. During the ancient Heavens Sect era, the Origin Universe had been home to a great number of peak powerhouses, and thousands of races had submitted to the Heavens Sect. Neither the Cyclic Universe nor the Arboreal Realm could even draw the Heavens Sect’s attention. The Three Realms and Six Daos and the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas had all been powerful cultivators respected by outsider powerhouses.

Even in that Heavens Sect, Progenitor Yōu Ming had been exceptionally powerful and been respected by even the Dao Monarchs. One could only imagine how powerful Progenitor Yōu Ming must have been at her peak, as even the Voidlord had feared the woman. Progenitor Yōu Ming was both extremely beautiful and extremely dangerous.

The Knowledge Nexus had been completely destroyed by the battle.

Jing Zhe's corpse floated atop the lake, shriveled. Still, his body was extremely tough, which meant that it would likely be a very useful material.

With the battle over, the Voidforce Universe’s cultivators started to slowly approach in increasing numbers.

Xu Heng, Xu Leng, and Xu Wuji all arrived, and they stared at Jing Zhe's body. For a long time, they could find nothing to say.

Most people in the Sixverse Association knew nothing about outsider powerhouses, and that included peak powerhouses.

Aeternus was the Sixverse Association’s enemy, and while they also had other enemies, they had little to do with the Sixverse Association. This was no different from how the Sixverse Association had few opportunities to intervene in fights between outsider powerhouses.

However, one of those outsider powerhouses had just been killed in the Voidforce Universe.

This was not a trivial matter for either the Sixverse Association or Aeternus.

Truthfully, the moment the Aeternals had requested outsider powerhouses to act against the Sixverse Association, the term “outsider powerhouse” had become obsolete. Such a thing no longer existed. If they were willing to get involved in the war between the Sixverse Association and Aeternus, then they needed to be prepared to die. This was just as true for experts like Jing Zhe as it was for the Sixverse Association’s cultivators.

Lu Yin was certain that there were outsider powerhouses staring at him and Big Sis at this moment.

Given the situation, he was ready to see who was more powerful.

Lu Yin’s first thought was of the jiao, but he almost immediately changed his mind. Before improving the slipper, even Undying God had been afraid of it. After Enhancing it several times, Lu Yin thought that he might slap the jiao half to death with one strike.

It would be best to find an enemy outsider powerhouse.

Lu Yin put the slipper away and resumed rolling his die. The next roll was unexpectedly Possession, though Lu Yin did not want to use Possession in the Origin Universe. All of the people he could Possess were at least as strong as Progenitors.

Lu Yin stood at the peak of the Origin Universe, and all of the Progenitors in the universe were either his elders or his subordinates. There was no reason to Possess them, and in particular, it would be beyond embarrassing to Possess someone like Big Sis.

However, Lu Yin had rolled Possession, and he did not want to waste it.

In the worst case scenario where he Possessed someone he was familiar with, he would simply end the Possession.

Lu Yin was not someone who felt the need to completely control the thoughts of his subordinates. Since he trusted people like Arch-Elder Zen, Lu Yin would not doubt them. On the other hand, Lu Yin had never trusted people like Chen Le, but there was also no need to know the Monarch’s thoughts. As long as Chen Le could be controlled, he was welcome to have his own thoughts, and Lu Yin did not need to know them.

His consciousness entered the dark space, and he quickly saw a dazzling ball of light off in the distance. This clearly belonged to a Progenitor.

Given that Lu Yin was in the Heavens Sect, who did this ball of light represent? Arch-Elder Zen? Monarch Xing? Someone else?

There was no point in guessing, so Lu Yin intended to just merge with the orb.

He shot towards the ball of light and merged with it.

When he opened his eyes... Was that death energy he saw?

Memories started to pour in, and Lu Yin burst out laughing. He had actually Possessed the Chiliagonist. The man was technically in Aeternus Nation, which was a parallel universe, but since that universe was permanently connected to the Origin Universe, it was possible for Lu Yin to Possess the Chiliagonist.

He had already known that Possession could affect someone in the Perennial World while he was in the Fifth Mainland, so it made sense that he could also Possess someone in Aeternus Nation.

This was a Possession worth pursuing. The Chiliagonist was one of the True God Guard Captains, and he should know a great deal about Aeternus.

Lu Yin quickly scanned through the man’s memories.

Within the death energy, the Chiliagonist’s expression kept changing, though it was actually Lu Yin’s expression. He had already confirmed what Yu Huo had told Ye Bo about the Ossis Ark, and the Chiliagonist knew roughly what Yu Huo had known. The True God Guard Captains had a relatively high status within Aeternus, but not enough for them to be privy to any true secrets. Still, Lu Yin was able to reap some benefits from Possessing the Chiliagonist.

The man had not experienced anything too different from Ye Bo while serving as a True God Guard Captain. All that Lu Yin saw were memories of missions. Endless missions. Almost all of the missions were to destroy certain universes, though those missions were actually intended to destroy sequence strings.

Suddenly, the Chiliagonist’s expression changed drastically, and shock filled his eyes.

Lu Yin saw Progenitor Ku in the Chiliagonist’s memories. Progenitor Ku had indeed invaded the Scourge on his own, and by relying on his near immortality due to Extremes Must Be Reversed, he had endured attacks from several of the Seven Skygods, as well as from powerhouses from the other Scourges. The Progenitor had even attacked the Black Mother Tree and fought against True God.

Unfortunately, the Chiliagonist had only seen a flicker of that fight, as it was something far above his level. He was not strong enough to get involved, so the Chiliagonist had left to complete another mission.

Complicated emotions filled Lu Yin's eyes. While the Chiliagonist had not seen much of the battle, the sight of Progenitor Ku enduring the attacks of the Seven Skygods and then challenging True God had left a very deep impression on the man. It had been an amazing sight, and Progenitor Ku had been determined to die to achieve his goal. His attack had stunned thousands of people in the Scourge.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Progenitor Ku had only ever spoken one sentence. “Humans will eventually pave a road with blood to kill you! I am willing to become a paving stone in that road and be trampled upon by future generations! I will help create a path for them to kill you!”
