Chapter 1974

The word “murkiness” was perfectly common, and even ignorant children wrote it down as they were learning how to write. However, Heaven’s Enigma was a divination method that focused on the most important events in the universe that were related to whatever was being divined. Naturally, the most important thing related to the word “murkiness” was Aeternus’s plan that Mister Mu had asked Lu Yin to investigate.

“I just thought of it.” Lu Yin felt quite guilty.

Xuan Jiu roared, “Are you still lying to me?! You rotten goods, you’ll really kill me one day! I’m leaving, and I’ll never see you again in this life.”

As the man spoke, he forced himself up while using the spacecraft as a support. Coincidentally, Xuan Jiu came face to face with Sapling, which was in the vessel.

Xuan Jiu stared blankly at Sapling, and Sapling looked back. Neither moved for a bit.

Only when Sapling jumped up did Xuan Jiu return to his senses, and he turned back around to look at Lu Yin. He pointed at the plant. “What is that?”

Lu Yin moved closer to Xuan Jiu. “I’m really sorry. I didn’t expect this to happen, but what did you just see?”

Xuan Jiu wiped away some of the blood on his body. “I already told you—I just felt an unfathomable power that nearly destroyed me.”

He gave Lu Yin a very serious look. “I don’t care where you came across that word, but why did you ask me to divine that one? I’ll be blunt. You should stay away from that word and anything connected to it. Never, ever touch it. That’s not something that you can get involved with. I know that you’re being watched and that you have a connection to Destiny, but this power is in no way weaker than Destiny or the God of Death.”

“Boy, I’m not messing around this time. I’ll never see you again in this lifetime. See you in the next life.” Xuan Jiu then fled as fast as he could without altering his direction at all.

The man had been seriously injured, but he still forced himself to endure his injuries and flee. He wanted to get as far away from Lu Yin as possible.

Lu Yin no longer made any moves to stop Xuan Jiu from leaving. He was genuinely apologetic to the old man, though he had become envious after hearing Xuan Jiu’s warning. Murkiness was related to Aeternus and Mister Mu. It was true that it was at a level that Lu Yin could not touch for the time being.

Still, that did not mean that Lu Yin would stop trying to get more information about Murkiness. This was something that made even Mister Mu be serious about, and Xuan Jiu had just said that the divination that he had performed showed that it was connected to an unimaginable power. Anything connected to Murkiness was incredibly serious, and it could even be connected to the fate of all humanity. Lu Yin had no desire to act like some sort of savior, but if humanity was destroyed, then what would his purpose be even if he survived?

As for the Second Nightking, he was giving Lu Yin a very odd look. The youth had only given Xuan Jiu a single word, so it seemed incredibly strange for Xuan Jiu’s divination to have had such a strong backlash.

At this moment, a cosmic ring flew towards the two from the distance. Lu Yin grabbed the ring, along with a drop of Xuan Jiu’s blood that had been sent back. Lu Yin used the blood to open the cosmic ring, and in it he found three pieces of fatesand, as well as a note.

‘Rotten goods, I’ve only managed to collect three pieces of fatesand, and I’m giving you all of them. Don’t look for me ever again. We don’t know each other, and we won’t see each other ever again in this life.’

Lu Yin quickly stored the fatesand away. It seemed that Xuan Jiu was completely serious this time. The old man had originally tried to get Lu Yin’s fatesand from him, but he had just given away all the fatesand that he had gathered over the years. This was simply because Xuan Jiu did not want Lu Yin to try to find him ever again.

Fatesand carried a completely different meaning for Xuan Jiu than it did for other people. Whatever the old man had seen in his divination of Murkiness had absolutely terrified him.

Would they really never see each other again in this life?

Far away, Xuan Jiu was still coughing up blood. He finally found a planet to land on, but after thinking about things for a moment, he decided to keep moving. He could not allow those rotten goods to chase after him.

What absolute godawful luck! I actually tricked myself this time. I was expecting something good, but something so terrible happened. I even lost all of my fatesand. Still, that’s fine, as I also lost all of my connections to Destiny, as well as any connections to those rotten goods.

As soon as he remembered the word that he had just divined, Xuan Jiu panicked yet again. The strength that he had felt had surpassed anything that he could ever imagine. He had never known that such terrifying power even existed in the universe, and he would make sure to never see those rotten goods ever again.

The incident with Xuan Jiu made Lu Yin feel as though his future that had become a bit brighter because of the Tower of the Fifth to be once more smothered in a haze.

Still, the good news was that the tower was apparently going to bring him some unexpected benefits.

In ancient times, the Progenitors had established the Daosource Sect, and at this moment, Lu Yin was working to build the Tower of the Fifth. As the years passed, would both of these establishments be spoken of on the same level? Lu Yin was eager to find out.

Sapling was jumping around on Lu Yin’s shoulders. He took out Zenith Mountain and took Sapling in before looking for Long Xi.

Lu Yin was not able to take Sapling back for the time being, so he felt like it would be better to leave the little tree with Long Xi, as she was the only person whom he felt comfortable trusting with Sapling.

Long Xi stared at Sapling, which was hiding behind Lu Yin, in surprise. “Can that tree move?”

Lu Yin had no fear of Long Xi ever figuring out what Sapling was, as the truth was impossible for anyone to even consider due to how far-fetched it was. Who would believe that the little tree was actually another Mother Tree?

Thinking of this caused a new question to pop up in Lu Yin’s mind: since Sapling was able to run about and move, what about the original Mother Tree?

“Help me take care of it for a bit.” Lu Yin grabbed Sapling and handed it over to Long Xi. It was an oddly warm scene to anyone watching.

Long Xi did not agree. “Why should I take care of it? Are you going to die?”

“Of course not, but I’ll be going into seclusion for a while.”

Sapling’s branches were tightly wrapped around Lu Yin’s fingers, and its green leaves released a faint light that was both beautiful and comforting.

Long Xi found herself quite drawn to the little tree after watching it for a bit, but she was always rather cold. So, she completely ignored Lu Yin after receiving Sapling.

Lu Yin soon put Zenith Mountain back away. He looked ahead and saw that they had already arrived at Gods’ Origin.

Lu Yin and the Second Nightking had been in the northern region of the Neoverse earlier, so they had been rather close to Gods’ Origin. With the Second Nightking’s speed, it had not taken them long to arrive at all.

…

After arriving at Gods’ Origin with the Second Nightking, the sight that met Lu Yin’s eyes left him completely stunned.

Gods’ Origin had been built atop the backs of enormous human statues, each of which was down on both knees and showing devout expressions. The backs of the statues held mountains, rivers, and land. There were rainbows in the sky, as well as clouds and mist, ringing bells, and numerous sights that Lu Yin had never seen before. It was a beautiful place, with gorgeous birds and beasts frolicking about. There was even a pleasant scent that drifted into outer space beyond Gods’ Origin.

The entire place looked like it was a heavenly palace or a paradise. It was no wonder why the place was called Gods’ Origin, and it also made sense for the occupants of such a place to be known as madmen.

Outsiders typically saw the members of Gods’ Origin as insane because the cultivators from the place were arrogant beyond measure. They felt that it was reasonable to refer to themselves as gods given the fact that they could create things from nothing. Even the elites of their younger generation were referred to as the eighteen gods, which was an irritating title to others.

Originally, Lu Yin had not had any real opinions on the matter, and he had a rather decent impression of God Taiyi, but the more Lu Yin learned about Gods’ Origin, the more he understood the prevailing opinion of the place.

That understanding grew more than ever when he laid eyes on people facing Gods’ Origin and kneeling on the ground. Some even knelt then bowed along the way.

In fact, the most common action that these people took was kneeling.

As Lu Yin looked at the massive statues, the countless people kneeling and worshiping the statues, he could see that Gods’ Origin was a place where people had either a high status or a low status. The difference between the two was much more exaggerated than normal.

The devout expressions of the faces of those kneeling perfectly mirrored the expressions on the enormous statues.

These people were bent over in worship as though they were praying to true gods rather than the disciples of Gods’ Origin. Even a Limiteer realm disciple had many people kneeling to them, and each of the disciples looked proud and satisfied with the treatment that they received.

Lu Yin did not like what he was seeing. He was absolutely certain that these worshippers would gladly die for any of Gods’ Origin’s disciples.

It was no wonder why other people saw Gods’ Origin as a place full of madmen.

Being raised in such an environment inculcated arrogance into these people from youth, and they would undoubtedly see themselves as superior to all others. Actually, Lu Yin suddenly had a realization that God Taiyi could actually be considered a very humble disciple from Gods’ Origin. Yao Hong, whom Lu Yin had met in Skyraiser City, was a much more normal disciple from Gods’ Origin.

Actually, even that God of Wind was rather odd…

“What’s your impression of Gods’ Origin?” Lu Yin asked the Second Nightking.

The old man softly replied, “What you see.”

“Have you been here before?” Lu Yin asked.

The Second Nightking nodded. “Long ago, the First Nightking led my Daynight clan in an attempt to enter the Neoverse, and we visited all of the greatest forces in the Neoverse, including Gods’ Origin. However, we were not even allowed inside. They completely look down on all outsiders.”

Lu Yin nodded. The incomparably miraculous cultivation system that the Rune Progenitor had created allowed those who had mastered Truesight to create something out of nothing; in other words, they could make their imagination come to life. Such an incredible ability could only be considered god-like, especially by ordinary humans. Even cultivators found themselves drawn to the miraculous abilities demonstrated by Gods’ Origin’s people, and it was understandable why these people referred to themselves as gods.

From this more objective standpoint, it became easy to understand where Gods’ Origin’s arrogance had come from.

“Knock on the door. I’ll get you inside this time,” Lu Yin said indifferently.

The Second Nightking was normally a calm person, but this comment riled even him up. He needed someone to get inside this place? There was no powerhouse in all of Gods’ Origin who could keep him out!

Ripples spread out and quickly entered Gods’ Origin.

While the ordinary disciples did not notice anything, God of Mirrors quickly rose to his feet, his face solemn. This was a true powerhouse. He quickly moved out.

At the same time, God of Wind also noticed the ripples, and she moved out as well.

All of Gods’ Origin suddenly changed, and there was a reaction as if they were facing some kind of crisis, which caught Lu Yin off guard.

Gods’ Origin had an incredible history and a strong foundation, and Lu Yin had no idea how powerful God of Flames was. The strongest existence in Gods’ Origin had been in seclusion for many years without revealing themselves. Many people even believed that God of Flames was dead, though he was definitely still alive. It was said that he was inferior only to a Semi-Progenitor, though it was possible that the miraculous abilities of Truesight could allow the man to cross realms and challenge Semi-Progenitors, much like Lu Yin’s senior brother Qing Ping.

Two people emerged from the void in front of Lu Yin. They were God of Mirrors and God of Wind.

When they saw Lu Yin, both people let out sighs of relief.

God of Wind smiled and said, “So it’s Alliance Leader Lu. Why didn’t you let us know that you were coming so that we could prepare to welcome you?”

Lu Yin smiled back. “I was just passing by and just happened to stop in to visit you.”

God of Wind kept up her smile as she replied. “We would be honored to welcome you into Gods’ Origin. Please, come in, Alliance Leader Lu.”

As the woman spoke, all of the disciples turned to face Lu Yin, and they slowly bowed to him.

Lu Yin was shocked to see this.

God of Wind explained, “This is how we greet our distinguished guests. Throughout the history of my Gods’ Origin, this etiquette has not been used very often.”

“You’re being too polite.”

Gods’ Origin was only being this polite to Lu Yin because they wanted him to share the location of the statue that he had mentioned. They were much better with flattery than any of the Seven Courts’ families.

While members of Gods’ Origin were arrogant when dealing with outsiders, when they encountered people or situations where they needed to lower themselves, they did so very quickly.

These people were not actually madmen.

The Second Nightking’s eyes flickered. When he had visited this place with the First Nightking, the two of them had traveled with the Dayking and the Third Nightking. But even then, they had not been able to step through the door. This was not due to them having insufficient strength, but rather because Gods’ Origin had wanted to make their attitude clear and demonstrate that they would not welcome the Daynight clan into the Neoverse.

At this moment, Lu Yin’s Great Eastern Alliance had similarly shown intentions to enter the Neoverse, but Gods’ Origin’s attitude was completely different from what the Second Nightking had encountered in the past.

It all came down to the fact that there was a vast difference in strength. The Daynight clan of the past had been far inferior to the current Great Eastern Alliance.

The disciples of Gods’ Origin all bowed towards Lu Yin, and the ordinary humans knelt down completely and kowtowed three times to Lu Yin, and then nine times more.

Lu Yin looked down at the crowds from high above as countless people bowed to him. It would be easy to get caught up in such a feeling.

“Let’s go. I’ve admired your Gods’ Origin for a long time,” Lu Yin said to God of Mirrors. He refused to let himself be swayed by the people’s worship.

God of Wind’s eyes flickered. “This way, please, Alliance Leader Lu.”

Lu Yin nodded and did not refuse. He entered Gods’ Origin.
