At this moment, Luo Shan did not know what to do.
"Monarch Luo, why aren’t you doing anything? Where is Sage Yuan?" Xia Shenji lost his patience. He was already imagining the sight of Lu Yin being surrounded and killed by everyone involved. The Progenitor had waited too long for this day to arrive.
In outer space, in the Fifth Mainland, Lu Yin stared at Monarch Luo. Would the man attack, or would he refrain from launching a war on the Fifth Mainland?
Lu Yin was prepared.
If war broke out, he would do whatever it took. Given Lu Yin’s current power, as well as the support of Arch-Elder Zen, Mu Xie, the three peak powerhouses that could be summoned from the Investiture of the Gods, the jiao, E Chi, Master Shan, and Cloudflow, then even if the four ruling powers joined forces with the Three Monarchs Universe, the final victor would be difficult to predict.
If more of the Sixverse Association tried to intervene, the Lost Clan would not just watch from the side. They still expected Lu Yin’s help in attracting the Primeval card after all.
The Voidforce Universe would not help either side, while the Transcendent Universe was in no position to help anyone.
The Sixverse Association’s greatest enemy had always been Aeternus, and if too much of the Sixverse Association’s power was diverted from the frontlines, they would not be able to defend it properly.
Even so, that was assuming that Xu Heng, Xu Leng, and others did not take action. As long as they cherished their friendship with Lu Yin, even if they were unwilling to help the Origin Universe, he was certain that they would have no problem delaying Sage Yuan.
No matter how Lu Yin looked at the situation, he was confident about opening the spatial passage.
The bottom line was that no matter what price needed to be paid after the passage was opened, it would not be as painful as having the Origin Universe be annexed to the Endless Frontier.
Any universe that joined the Endless Frontier would be inundated in an endless war. No one could estimate just how many people would die at that time.
If the Sixverse Association really wanted to make a move against the Origin Universe, then it was time for Lu Yin to reveal his cards. At this moment, everything depended on Monarch Luo’s choice.
If he decided to attack, the Origin Universe would not end up as a part of the Endless Frontier. If the man refused to start a war, then there would be no avoiding the Origin Universe’s fate, and Lu Yin would also have to resolve things with the four ruling powers. The four ruling powers were also part of the Origin Universe, and if things were forced to a head, then Lu Yin would join with the four ruling powers to fight against the Three Monarchs Universe.
Regardless, Lu Yin’s passiveness had ended, and he had decided to take action. Going forward, Sovereign Shao Yin would not have an easy time if he wanted to scheme against the Origin Universe.
The Three Monarchs Universe could join forces with the four ruling powers to divide the Fifth Mainland between them, but Lu Yin was also capable of setting aside his personal hatred and joining with the four ruling powers to divide up the Three Monarchs Universe.
…
Things had changed so quickly that Monarch Luo was unable to react for a while.
Xia Shenji's urging made the Monarch increasingly anxious.
At this moment, the rainbow wall faced a new threat, as Forgotten Ruins God had returned.
"We fight the Aeternals first!" Monarch Luo shouted, as he turned and headed towards the rainbow wall.
Xia Shenji gritted his teeth. He desperately wanted to attack.
In the Fifth Mainland, Progenitor Smoke and Progenitor Nong stood in the middle of the crowd. Mu Xie had already returned to Shenwu Continent, and he glared at Specter Progenitor and Xia Shenji.
"Bai Wangyuan, do you really want to fight to the death?" Lu Yin shouted.
Bai Wangyuan saw that Monarch Luo had not taken action, and Sage Yuan also had not appeared. If the four ruling powers were willing to fight Lu Yin to the death on their own, then they would not have waited so long to attack.
"Lu Xiaoxuan, the passage has been opened. Do you still want to seal it?"
Lu Yin glared at Bai Wangyuan and then turned his eyes to Wang Fan, Xia Qin, before finally glaring at Xia Shenji who was still on the other end of the spatial passage. Hatred and killing intent blazed in the Progenitor’s eyes. "We’ll leave everything to fate!"
The passage has been opened, and there was no avoiding interaction with the Three Monarchs Universe. There could be war, or there could be peace, but the chances of peace between the two parallel universes were simply too low.
Regardless of Luo Shan’s thoughts on the matter, Sovereign Shao Yin would never be willing to make things easy for the Origin Universe.
Bai Wangyuan and others from the four ruling powers had no intention of leaving, and they remained on Shenwu Continent. They could not allow Lu Yin to reseal the spatial passage. As far as they were concerned, the Fifth Mainland was done for.
In the Three Monarchs Universe, Luo Shan dealt with the Aeternals’ attack, while also trying to get in touch with Sovereign Shao Yin. The Monarch asked someone to send a message to Sovereign Shao Yin and inform the man that the Three Monarchs Universe could no longer agree to let the Origin Universe be merged into the Endless Frontier.
Sovereign Shao Yin was far away in the Cyclic Universe when he received Luo Shan's message, and he immediately made his way to the Three Monarchs Universe, a gloomy expression on his face.
Someone like Luo Shan actually dared to stand against Sovereign Shao Yin? The Sovereign had been the one to help the Three Monarchs Universe join the Sixverse Association. Without him, Luo Shan would have died on the Endless Frontier long ago.
Beyond the rainbow wall, Forgotten Ruins God’s eyes flickered as she peered into the Three Monarchs Universe. "Is that the passage that connects to the Origin Universe? This is quite interesting… So, no matter if we capture this universe or that one, we can get both at the same time. Luo Shan, can you really stop us?"
Luo Shan calmly replied, "Throughout all these years, have you ever set foot in my Three Monarchs Universe?"
Forgotten Ruins God responded with a slight smile. "How arrogant. Just because we haven't set foot in there yet doesn't mean that we are unable to do so. Do you want me to actually try?"
As the woman spoke, multiple wolf heads appeared. It was her Sky-Devouring Nine Wolves. An unmatched power swept forward, and the impact caused the entire rainbow wall to sway.
Luo Shan's eyes instantly flared, and he was put on edge.
Xia Shenji frowned. These monsters from the ancient era were each quite terrifying. No one knew just how powerful the founding ancestor of the Wang family had become after living for so long.
The image of the Seven Skygods’ attack on the Perennial World was still vividly etched into his mind. Despite all of the Perennial World acting together, they had still failed to prevent Undying God from entering the Perennial World. Each of the ancient monsters had their own unique abilities.
"Wang Miaomiao!" a sharp shout echoed from the distance.
Luo Shan was thrilled to see that Sovereign Shao Yin had arrived.
Xia Shenji, Monarch Xing, and Chen Le each looked over as well.
The Sovereign’s golden robes exuded an incredible aura of nobility. His arrival instantly countered the pressure of the Sky-Devouring Nine Wolves, and every cultivator both inside and outside the rainbow wall breathed a sigh of relief.
Forgotten Ruins God was surprised. "You actually came to the front lines? You aren’t hiding at home for once?"
Sovereign Shao Yin stepped upon the rainbow wall and stared outwards. "Master should have destroyed traitors like you long ago. Look at how brazen you are now!"
"Haha, you speak as though the Great Sovereign can actually do that! Besides, who are you to say what the Great Sovereign should do?" Forgotten Ruins God mocked.
Sovereign Shao Yin answered with a contemptuous snort as he waved a hand. Cold air broke away from the rainbow wall and shot outwards across space.
Forgotten Ruins God was taken aback. "You’re actually taking action? In that case, let's see just how long you can protect them for."
With that, she withdrew.
