Had anyone ever seen such a monstrous Ortuser before?
Even if he was an Immortal, his strength would not feel out of place.
In the Frightened Sparrow Terrace, Greater Sancte Awe Gate exhaled. The war was finally over.
Master Qing Cao stared intently at Lu Yin. The young man’s Lifeforce, which Qing Cao had believed to be exhausted, had suddenly surged with great abundance. If Lu Yin was able to replenish his Lifeforce more than once in this manner, then what would be the difference between him and an Immortal? The gap had ceased to be significant.
If Chang could be considered a Semi-Immortal, then Lu Yin was on the very cusp of gaining the power of an Immortal.
At this moment, Master Qing Cao considered the Tianyuan’s potential. The greater a megaverse’s potential power, the more likely it was that unfathomable beings would rise to power. The Tianyuan’s potential surpassed even that of the Nine Odysseys Megaverse. Was Lu Yin the final product of that potential?
Just how far could the man reach in the future?
Had Qing Cao’s earlier plans been a mistake?
High in the sky, Lu Yin watched as his Karmic Dao surged. Chang’s incredible age meant a tremendous increase in his karma, even if it did not match what he had gained from either Yue Ya or the transparent moth.
Chang was a truly formidable opponent, but all of its power came from the traits of the Nest civilization’s Verdant Sages. This was unlike the transparent moth, which had cultivated a similar level of power on its own.
Also, the transparent moth had slaughtered far more creatures.
The moth, the Nests... Lu Yin’s eyes flickered. Was it possible that the Nest civilization’s Immortal Lord was itself some kind of insect? Simply one that had undergone countless metamorphoses to finally reach the Immortal realm, which was its current form? If that was the case, then if the transparent moth had not been destroyed and it had continued to cultivate until it became an Immortal, then it might have given birth to another Nest civilization, or rather, an Allsense civilization.
In some ways, the Allsenses had posed an even greater threat to humanity than the Nest civilization.
Lu Yin felt that it was truly fortunate that he had slain the transparent moth.
There were far too many powerful beings in the cosmos. Humanity was not the strongest, nor did they have the right to use other creatures. Even if it might seem effective to use the Allsenses against the Nest civilization, such plots would inevitably lead the manipulators to being devoured by their own schemes.
Just as Greater Sancte Mi Jin had said, self-awareness was humanity’s greatest weapon for surviving in the cosmos.
At the time, Lu Yin had regretted exterminating the Allsenses, and he had felt that humanity could have used them against the Nest civilization in order to pay a much lower price for victory. However, he no longer had any regrets at all. Previously, he had still lacked true self-awareness.
Self-awareness was easy to say, but truly having it was incredibly difficult.
Especially for those who were strong.
Those who believed that they controlled everything often overlooked just how many incidents lay beyond their control.
Lu Yin turned to look to the western sky, where the First Night Pillar still stood.
When the First Night Pillar appeared, he had been able to sense several auras emanating from it. They were powerful, yet also decaying. They gave him the feeling of the flames of a dying candle.
Those auras had felt like a blazing candle that could illuminate the entire nearby world, but could also be extinguished at any moment.
There were certainly experts on that Night Pillar, but all of them were at the end of their lives. Their deaths were looming, ready to arrive at any moment.
So that’s the First Night Pillar?
As he considered what he had felt, it appeared that the First Night Pillar’s occupants sensed Lu Yin’s attention. One after another, people stepped out. There were a total of seven individuals, and they left the Night Pillar to stand high in the sky.
Greater Sancte Awe Gate and Master Qing Cao both turned to look at those people.
After that, other powerful experts from all across the Nine Odysseys also looked over. “Huh? Are there still people in the First Night Pillar? I thought no one was there.”
“I thought so too. The First Night Pillar has never moved.”
“The First Night Pillar is our megaverse’s First Night Pillar, and it led the wars against the Morrow Megaverse, the Mindscape Megaverse, and more. Of course there are still people there. It’s just that it’s been so long since they’ve emerged that no one was able to approach it.”
“Why do I feel like one of them looks familiar? It seems I’ve seen them somewhere before...”
“Master, don’t you think that that old woman looks like the grandmother in the ancestral portrait that we pay our respects to?”
The seven figures stood in the starry sky, gazing down at the entire universe. While none of them radiated any sort of earth-shaking aura, they were somehow more compelling than anyone else. It was possible that it was because they were from the First Night Pillar.
It had been so long since anyone had emerged from the First Night Pillar, or since anyone had been admitted, that many had believed it to be a tomb. It was the only Night Pillar of the Nine Odysseys that never moved. However, not only had it just revealed that it could direct the Nine Odysseys spirit treasure formation, but there were still people living on it.
