Chapter 2402: Come With Me

Lu Yin finally understood Undying God’s scheme. He wanted to use divine divine energy to recover from his injuries.

Lu Yin had first personally experienced the power of divine energy when Forgotten Ruins God had demonstrated its power. It was domineering yet incomprehensible, and it had left a deep impression on Lu Yin.

“Each time a dried up corpse is destroyed, a little bit more divine energy will be sent to Undying God’s body. If that’s the case, then why did he disperse the divine energy in the first place?” Big Sis felt rather confused.

Bai Xian’er looked over. “Because divine energy is unable to enter the Perennial World.”

This was something that not even Wu Dao or any of the other Semi-Progenitors had known about. The mere existence of divine energy was the full extent of their knowledge on the matter. They had never known that it was unable to enter the Perennial World.

“Divine energy is the created power of Aeternus’ True God Wei Yi. It’s able to bless any of the Aeternals with an exponential increase in strength. If divine energy was able to freely enter the Perennial World, Aeternus wouldn’t need to break through Ceaseless Impetus to get in here. The Perennial World would already belong to them,” Bai Xian’er explained, “As for what’s stopping divine energy from entering the Perennial World, it’s-”

She pointed into the distance. “The Tree Realm.”

“The Tree Realm?” Wu Dao, Xia Ziheng, and the rest of the Semi-Progenitors were all taken aback.

Lu Yin was equally shocked. He had thought that the only function of the Tree Realm was to keep the rear battle hidden from the rest of the inhabitants of the Perennial World.

Bai Xian’er revealed a small smile. “The Tree Realm is the Mother Tree’s gift to us. It’s not something man-made. If not for the Tree Realm, Aeternus’s True God could easily attack the Perennial World directly.”

Lu Yin looked up toward the Higher Realm while processing this new piece of information. The Tree Realm was the barrier that kept divine energy out of the Perennial World, while at the same time, Bai Wangyuan and the rest of the Progenitors in the Dominion Realm defended humanity from Aeternus’s Progenitors. If the Seven Skygods or powerhouses of similar strength took action, then the eagle or Python Ancestor would step in. These were the defenses that protected the Perennial World from Aeternus. Humanity had been able to survive in this part of the universe for so long thanks to all of these measures, as well as Ceaseless Impetus.

Beyond all that, the ones who had been the primary force against the Seven Skygods had always been the Lu family. If they were still around, Progenitor Tianyi would have been able to summon the masters of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas to fight against the Seven Skygods. Lu Tianyi had been able to hold back several Skygods on his own. Unfortunately, the Lu family had been exiled, which was why Lu Yin felt nothing but complete contempt for the four ruling powers.

“If the Tree Realm is able to block divine energy from entering the Perennial World, then how did Undying God get any in?” Ce Donglai hesitantly asked.

Bai Xian’er looked back over at Undying God. “That’s a question that only he can answer. I have no idea how he managed to split up so much divine energy and infuse it into the bodies of these dried up corpses, but it should have been a slow process. Still, he managed to successfully create a backup revival method for himself within the Perennial World, giving him an option to escape even in the worst-case scenario.”

“If he absorbs enough divine energy, will even the Python Ancestor be unable to stop him?” Qing Chen’s expression grew ugly. “If he manages to escape from the Python Ancestor, he’ll be completely unstoppable. Why isn’t the Tree Realm interfering with his ability to absorb divine energy?”

Bai Xian’er replied, “The Tree Realm is nothing more than a barrier that stops divine energy from entering. Since he’s already managed to bypass that barrier and bring divine energy into the Perennial World, then the Tree Realm can’t do anything unless the divine energy enters the Tree Realm itself.”

“Does that mean that he can’t return to Aeternus?” Jin Ta asked hopefully.

Lu Yin clasped his arms behind his back. “There’s still the Fifth Mainland.”

Bai Xian’er turned to face Lu Yin, and once again, their eyes met.

“Aeternus has always known about the New Corridor within the Wang family’s territory. Undying God spent such a long time sneaking divine energy into the Perennial World because he knew that he could leave by simply passing through the Fifth Mainland. He can come and go as he wishes,” Lu Yin explained.

Bai Xian’er gave a slight smile. “Big Brother Xiaoxuan, none of us have the power to reduce Undying God to ashes. Such a thing might only be possible if the Progenitors decide to intervene, but all of them are held up in the Dominion Realm. Aeternus won’t easily allow Undying God to die. However, I have an idea that we can try.”

Lu Yin frowned. “What is it?”

Bai Xian’er turned back to face the massive body of the Python Ancestor that seemed to stretch into infinity. “Even the Python Ancestor would likely struggle to kill Undying God if he regains his full strength, but if we break him into smaller pieces, his strength will plummet. After that, the Python Ancestor should be able to finish him off, perhaps by swallowing and digesting him.”

A short ways away, Undying God’s eyes darted about in agitation. “What a vicious woman! You’re quite cruel despite your youth.”

Bai Xian’er was unfazed by the comment. “Given the fact that we are facing one of the Seven Skygod, there’s no choice but to think outside of the box.”

“Will the Python Ancestor even listen to us?” Big Sis was quite skeptical. She was reluctant to disturb such a massively powerful creature. Furthermore, from what she had been able to remember, the Python Ancestor was vegetarian.

“Little Seven, the Python Ancestor is also a vegetarian,” Big Sis quickly commented.

Bai Xian’er was surprised by the conviction in Big Sis’s voice. “You know that the Python Ancestor is vegetarian for certain, Senior?”

“What ‘Senior’? I’m younger than you! Also, stop calling him Big Brother Xiaoxuan. It’s creepy,” Big Sis scoffed in her typical rough manner.

However, Bai Xian’er did not seem to mind at all. “What does any of this have to do with what the Python Ancestor eats? All that matters is whether it can finish off one of the Seven Skygods.”

“So it’ll also be willing to eat shit?” The crass question announced Kui Luo’s arrival.

Lu Yin smirked. When it came to dealing with refined and proper people like Bai Xian’er, Kui Luo was unmatched.

“Kui Luo, we are currently having an important discussion about how to deal with Undying God. This is not the time for you to mess around!” Xia Ziheng was quite irritated by the interruption. If at all possible, he would happily eliminate Kui Luo for good.

Kui Luo rolled his eyes. “Fine. This old man will just listen then.”

“Right now, the main obstacle we’re facing is that we need someone to ask the Python Ancestor to cooperate with us. If the Python Ancestor doesn’t agree to the plan, then even if we manage to shatter Undying God’s body, the Python Ancestor will not do anything more than fight against Undying God’s Progenitor’s world without understanding our aims,” Bai Xian’er explained.

“Whoever came up with this should go talk to it,” Kui Luo remarked.

Lu Yin could not have worded it any better himself. Kui Luo had perfectly summarized Lu Yin’s thoughts, which was a very refreshing feeling.

Big Sis was thoroughly impressed by Kui Luo. The old man clearly possessed a gift with words.

Wu Dao shot Kui Luo a contemptuous glance. He wanted to do nothing more than kill Kui Luo and be done with it.

Qing Chen’s brow furrowed. He did not want to waste time dealing with the grudges between these various parties. All he wanted was to ensure that Undying God was permanently dealt with.

For the first time, Bai Xian’er looked towards Kui Luo as she addressed him in a frigid, monotonous voice. “When I become a Semi-Progenitor, you will be the first person that I kill.”

Her tone was utterly devoid of all emotion, which made it all the more frightening.

Before Kui Luo could snap back, Lu Yin interrupted. “If you kill him, I’ll make sure that Bai Teng dies.”

Bai Xian’er turned to Lu Yin. “You intend to violate the truce?”

Lu Yin scoffed, “There are countless ways for a person to end up dead. I don’t have to be the one to kill him, but I can certainly make sure that no one can protect him.”

He knew that Bai Xian’er personally could not care less about Bai Teng’s life, but she could not allow him to die since she needed to maintain a certain reputation.

Bai Xian’er gave Lu Yin a long look before finally sighing. “Big Brother Xiaoxuan, you’ve changed. Big Brother Mu was right. The current you is not a good person.”

“Oh, come on! You’re so much older than Little Seven! Don’t you cringe every time you call him ‘big brother?’” Big Sis mocked.

Kui Luo showed a creepy smile. “I guess that she has a thing for being a child bride.”

Big Sis exclaimed, “Child bride?”

“Enough!” Qing Chen bellowed, grabbing everyone’s attention. He continued in a voice of steel, “Mankind’s greatest foe is right before us! Everyone, please set aside your grudges for the moment. Talk all you want after we’ve eliminated Undying God.”

Kui Luo rolled his eyes, but he did at least stop antagonizing everyone.

Wu Dao and the others all shot resentful glares at Kui Luo. Their wrath was practically palpable.

“Bai Xian’er, regarding the matter that you mentioned about communicating with the Python Ancestor, I believe that someone from the White Dragon Clan would be the best choice,” Qing Chen suggested.

Bai Xian’er shook her head. “It’s pure chance that people from the White Dragon Clan are able to borrow the Python Ancestor’s power to cultivate. All of them are beneath the Python Ancestor’s notice. The only ones actually able to communicate with the Python Ancestor,” she paused as she once again turned to stare at Lu Yin, “Are the Lu family.

“One person from the Lu family was one of the Three Realms Six Dao. That ancient Progenitor from the Lu family was the Fifth Mainland’s Dao Monarch, and he was able to meet the Origin Progenitor as he wished. He was no stranger to the Python Ancestor, and the snake is also able to identify others with the Lu bloodline. Only someone from the Lu family can hope to speak with the Python Ancestor.”

“Lady, do you even hear yourself? The Lu family was exiled because the Python Ancestor’s body rolled over. But despite that, you still want to say that the Python Ancestor will listen to someone from the Lu family?” Big Sis rebuked.

This time, Qing Chen did not interrupt, as Big Sis’s argument made sense.

Bai Xian’er smiled. “Did the Python Ancestor rolling over have to be related to the Lu family’s exile?”

The entire place instantly fell completely silent. Everyone aside from Bai Xian’er looked quite confused.

Lu Yin also did not understand what was being insinuated. “Wasn’t my Lu family thrown out of the Perennial World by the Python Ancestor rolling over?”

“Yes.”

“Then what are you trying to say?”

“What I mean is that the Python Ancestor rolled over because it wanted to roll over. The Lu family was banished because they were thrown out of the Perennial World. The two events are not linked through karma. All that happened was the four ruling powers took advantage of the Python Ancestor’s movements to cast the Lu family out from the Perennial World and towards the Aeternals. Throughout the entire ordeal, the Python Ancestor never once intended to do anything at all to the Lu family. It was simply used. Did you actually believe that the White Dragon Clan could control the Python Ancestor’s movements? If that were true, how could any of the four ruling powers dare to remain in the Upper Realm?”

Lu Yin felt enlightened. Why had he not realized this earlier? If the White Dragon Clan could truly control when the Python Ancestor rolled over, how would any of the other ruling powers be willing to remain in the Higher Realm where they risked being exiled at any moment?

The Python Ancestor was able to easily break through the Middle Realm, and it had used its gigantic body to push the entire Higher Realm away. However, the four ruling powers appeared quite settled in the Higher Realm and showed no worry about facing a similar catastrophe, which went against their usual cautious manners.

“The White Dragon Clan relies on the Python Ancestor’s power to cultivate, which is why they can get somewhat close to the Python Ancestor and also receive some warning as to when it will roll over. They took advantage of this knowledge when targeting the Lu family. This isn’t some well-kept secret—it’s just something that you never considered,” Bai Xian’er explained. She looked at Lu Yin. “This is the only way to kill Undying God. Big Brother Xiaoxuan, it’s your decision.”

Qing Chen turned to face Lu Yin, as did everyone else.

“Don’t believe her. This woman’s always wanted you dead,” Kui Luo warned.

This time, Bai Xian’er ignored the old man. She had already explained the only way to resolve their current dilemma, and Lu Yin needed to take the first step. However, one thing was certain. If Lu Yin chose to not take this step, he would become known as the person who wasted humanity’s opportunity to kill Undying God, which would create an eternal stain on his reputation. As for whether everything was nothing more than a trap that Bai Xian’er was laying out, that did not matter. All that anyone would see was that Lu Yin had decided to ignore a path to victory, as any potential trap would not have appeared. Thus, no one would ever be certain whether Bai Xian’er had tried to trap Lu Yin.

This was simply how human minds functioned. When it came to manipulating human thinking, Bai Xian’er was extremely skilled.

As to whether they should believe Bai Xian’er, Wu Dao, Ce Donglai, and everyone else present was contemplating things at this moment.

Anyone with even a slight bit of understanding of the history between Bai Xian’er and the Lu family at least somewhat suspected that Bai Xian’er had created a plan to send Lu Yin to his grave. They had never heard of anyone who had managed to communicate with the Python Ancestor before. Who knew how the beast would react to such an attempt?

However, Lu Yin did not consider any of that. To him, this was not a matter that needed to be considered at all.

“I can go, but you must come with me,” Lu Yin quickly replied.

All eyes turned back to Bai Xian’er.

Bai Xian’er beamed. “Naturally. It’ll be like the good old days all over again! I’ve always loved going on adventures with Big Brother Xiaoxuan.”

In a rare turn of events, Kui Luo was left speechless. Since Bai Xian’er willing to accompany Lu Yin, there were no objections he could raise.

Lu Yin was far more wary of Bai Xian’er than he was of Xia Shenji. It was undeniable that Bai Xian’er was incredibly powerful, but that was not what Lu Yin was concerned about. No matter what, it was impossible for Bai Xian’er to directly face a Progenitor, no matter how unbelievable her strength might be. No, what put Lu Yin on edge was Bai Xian’ers ability to scheme and obtain information from the Book of Destiny that she possessed.
