He immediately spun his Roulette of Life and Death, trying to find a way out.
The big tree frantically tried to escape from the intense war that covered the Second Scourge. The fierce fighting had opened deep fissures everywhere.
The big tree tripped and fell into one of those fissures.
The tree was dragging Kong Tianzhao along, and Big Sis was holding onto a branch with one hand and the Magician with the other.
Progenitor Ku squatted on the tree’s trunk while clutching the Ancient Lightning Locust.
All of them fell along with the big tree, and they crashed into the solidified lake of divine energy. Some distance away from them were both Lu Yin and Bai Xian'er.
Lu Yin and Bai Xian'er were both taken aback by the sudden arrival of the others, and they stared at the big tree. What was going on?
The big tree struggled in a panic as it tried to shake off the creatures clinging to it, but it could not get free. Because of that, it fled through the lake of solidified divine energy.
Bai Xian'er stared. The Ancient Lightning Locust? Progenitor Ku? And that... is that Progenitor Yōu Ming? That big tree has appeared on a battlefield yet again.
In every major war throughout human history, this same big tree had made an appearance. This battle was being fought across multiple universes, which was a scale rare even across all of history. It was not surprising to see the tree make an appearance.
This big tree had a connection to the Immemorial Citadel.
Lu Yin had no time to worry about the tree. He was under too much pressure from Bai Xian'er. Her sequence particles were almost impossible to deal with, and with his current strength, he could not match her. The only possibility was to break through and become a Progenitor.
However, the three bits of Primaldust remained far away, and Bai Xian'er would never allow Lu Yin to reach them.
If he could not break through with his Dust World inner world, then he would have to do so with Infinity.
Lu Yin had spent a long time as a Semi-Progenitor, and it was time for him to break through and become a Progenitor.
He took a deep breath and then looked away from the big tree to focus on Bai Xian'er.
She was already looking at him. "Brother Xiaoxuan, you-"
Before she could finish, the big tree shot towards them.
Bai Xian'er’s eyes grew cold. "Brother Xiaoxuan, you can't leave with that tree! Even if you do, will you abandon this battlefield?"
Lu Yin responded with a bitter smile, "Of course not."
"In that case, let's fall into oblivion along with this battlefield," Bai Xian'er icily declared.
Neither of the two noticed that the big tree's branches had created a ripple in the solidified lake of divine energy, and that the ripple had generated a force pulling on the three distant pieces of Primaldust.
Everyone's attention remained focused on the big tree.
Especially Bai Xian'er. She watched as a dirt road appeared beneath the big tree’s two thick trunks. This was the manifestation of the path that the tree used to move. Even the tree needed something to support its journey through the void.
Bai Xian'er shattered that dirt road in an attempt to stop the big tree.
The tree was startled, and flames started to blaze all around it.
These were the same flames that had once burned the Books of Destiny. They were the flames that burned above the Immemorial Citadel and held the Aeternals at bay. They had accepted the bodies of countless human heroes throughout history. This time, they burned Bai Xian'er's sequence particles.
On the tree, Big Sis shouted, "Little Seven, are you alright?"
Progenitor Ku was still clinging tightly to the Ancient Lightning Locust. "We might be going to the Immemorial Citadel. I've lost some of my memories, but I have a feeling... that this is not yet the time to decide things with Aeternus."
The big tree continued to flee in a frenzy. It burned Bai Xian'er's sequence particles, which caused the dirt road to vanish.
It was at this moment that Lu Yin noticed the ripple trailing behind the big tree, as well as the three pieces of Primaldust that were being pulled along.
Lu Yin's eyes flared. He could not even answer Big Sis and Progenitor Ku. He waved his hand, and the pieces of Primaldust followed the ripple as they flew toward him.
Bai Xian'er saw what was happening and hurriedly tried to stop Lu Yin, but Kong Tianzhao stabbed his sword into the big tree’s trunk. The tree was startled, and it jumped up and changed direction, racing towards Bai Xian'er, which blocked her.
Flames burned, and they melted the nearby divine energy.
At the top of the black Mother Tree, True God was focused on the battle down below. To him, the fight between Lu Yin and Bai Xian'er had been far more compelling than the fights between Lu Yuan and Ancient God, Wu Tian and Di Qiong, or the Lord of Lightning and Tian Ci.
The big tree’s appearance was unexpected, and the flames surrounding it were so intense that not even divine energy could suppress them.
The flames even managed to block Bai Xian'er's vision.
Lu Yin managed to grab the three pieces of Primaldust. He felt their scorching heat from the one in his forehead, and he let go of the ones in his hand. The three pieces of Primaldust shot towards his brow, merging with his body and disappearing.
"Mavis, Mavis, Mavis..."
"First Blood, from now on, this Mainland is yours to oversee. Everyone will call you Ancestor Mavis. Listen to that. Doesn’t it sound impressive?"
"Master, this sounds like a pain. Why don’t you give it to Loam?"
"Loam has one too."
"Then what about Musclehead?"
"Musclehead also has one."
"Then who doesn't? There are nine of us, so are you going to make eight Mainlands?"
"Big Thug, Lassy, and Blackie won't have one. It doesn’t suit their personalities."
"I understand Lassy and Blackie, but how is Big Thug unsuitable?"
"Big Thug needs to continue teaching all creatures. How could he be confined to a single Mainland?"
"I don't know why, but I feel like you're mocking us, Master."
"You’re mistaken."
...
"Musclehead, take good care of this Mainland."
"Master, I'll bring a new kind of life to this Mainland. What do you think about humans growing to be a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times bigger and creating a new race?"
"Musclehead, do you think I’ve gone senile? That’s already been done. There are parallel universes with enormous humans. I've seen them, and I can even grow bigger myself. Look at my hand. See how big it is?"
"No, Master. You’ve managed to comprehend everything. How could you be senile?"
"Alright, in that case, go ahead and add more life to your Mainland. In fact, go ahead and take the astral beasts with the worst tempers with you too."
"What? Master, that's too much! Those astral beasts act more on instinct than rationality. Clearly, they should be handled by Yellowy. He’s better suited to deal with them."
"Yellowy is too blunt and forceful. You should handle this. We humans need to live peacefully with the astral beasts. We can't allow them to become a spark that ignites war."
"Then what about the Divine Eagle or the Python Ancestor? If they don’t work, then even the Arkfish could disgust them."
"Don’t you want to try to create a race of giants? You might receive some inspiration from the massive astral beasts."
"Master, I feel like you're messing with me."
"You’re mistaken."
