Lu Yin’s comment caused God Taiyi’s expression to change. “Brother Lu, don’t worry about what happened with Yao Hong a little while ago. She’s changed since then, and she won’t cause you any trouble when she goes out.”
“Yao Hong?” Lu Yin took a moment to catch up, and when he finally understood God Taiyi’s comment, Lu Yin laughed. “Who do you think I am? Why would I be bothered by her?”
God Taiyi replied, “I of course know that Brother Lu was never really put out by Yao Hong, but I still want to apologize for what she did. Many of the disciples here in Gods’ Origin aren’t bad-natured, but the atmosphere has a clear distinction between those in superior and inferior positions. Thus, it becomes very difficult to lose yourself.”
“If not for the competition during the Astral Tower that made me realize the truth of the matter, it’s possible that Yao Hong wouldn’t have been the only one to offend you.”
Lu Yin smiled. “It’s just a matter of fate. It means that you and I were destined to become friends.”
God Taiyi’s eyes lit up. “True enough! With you as my friend, I, God Taiyi, will have a life with no regrets.”
“Hey! What are you two tough guys talking about? Are you still trying to avoid me? Hurry up, Brother Lu! I want to show you the biggest Platform of Trials here in Gods’ Origin.” God Xiaobai waved at the two men from a distance.
Lu Yin’s eyes flickered—the largest Platform of Trials?
“Brother Lu, let’s go with her. We’ll check out the Platform of Trials first, and then you can spend some time practicing Truesight. I’ll take you to some of the ruins that we’ve gathered in a bit,” God Taiyi suggested.
Lu Yin nodded and then followed God Taiyi to catch up with God Xiaobai. The three of them made their way to a region that was on the back of another giant.
It was not long before the three of them arrived at a screen of solid blue light. God Xiaobai started to explain, “Brother Lu, this is the entrance to the biggest Platform of Trials in Gods’ Origin. Most people aren’t allowed to see it, but I’ll show it to you.”
The girl then picked up a foot and moved to step into the blue light.
However, God Xiaobai ended up striking an invisible barrier.
She was confused. “Why can’t I go in?”
God Taiyi frowned and approached the entrance as well. He reached out with a hand and touched the blue light with a finger, only for him to also be knocked back a few steps. He was quite surprised, and he glanced over at God Xiaobai. Neither of them had ever encountered something like this before.
Lu Yin’s eyes flickered.
“I’m going to ask God of Wind to come out. The entrance’s broken,” God Xiaobai said as she moved to call her elder.
“There’s no need. I’m here.” God of Wind stepped out from behind the light screen. She looked calm as her gaze swept past God Xiaobai and God Taiyi to look at Lu Yin. She politely said, “Alliance Leader Lu, I’m truly sorry, but God of Magenta has recently returned and is training on the Platform of Trials. So, it’s closed to others for the moment.”
God Xiaobai was surprised by the news. “Uncle God of Magenta is back?”
God of Wind confirmed it. “He’s back.”
God Taiyi frowned. “The Platform of Trials is enormous, so even if God of Magenta is using it, he can only use one section. I’ll show Brother Lu around from a distance. We won’t disturb God of Magenta’s training.”
God of Wind looked at God Taiyi, a firm warning deep in her eyes. “The traitor Jin Mie that God of Magenta was chasing after seriously injured him, and he cannot disturbed at all.”
The woman then turned back to Lu Yin and gave him a slow bow. “My sincere apologies, Alliance Leader Lu.”
“We’ll just take a quick look, okay? I just told Alliance Leader Lu that we’d come take a look,” God Xiaobai begged.
God of Wind just bowed again. “Alliance Leader Lu, I’m sorry.”
God Xiaobai shot a look of helplessness towards Lu Yin.
God Taiyi gave God of Wind an odd look, but then he turned to speak to Lu Yin. “Brother Lu, why don’t I show you the Rune Technology ruins for now?”
Lu Yin gave God of Wind a long look. “Sure, I don’t mind. Whatever you want.”
“Brother Lu, let’s go this way.” God Taiyi gestured for Lu Yin to follow him and started leading them elsewhere.
After she saw that Lu Yin and the others were gone, God of Wind heaved a sigh of relief.
A figure wearing a purple robe stepped out of the blue screen of light behind God of Wind. This person was God of Magenta. The man had left a deep impression on Lu Yin during the war in the Cosmic Sea when he had fought against Jin Mie.
God of Wind turned around and spoke in a very respectful manner, “They’re gone.”
“Did they question anything?” God of Magenta asked softly.
God of Wind shook her head. “They shouldn’t have.”
God of Magenta gave a word of caution. “Don’t let your guard down. That kid is sharp. You can’t let him see the Platform of Trials, and don’t even let him access the buildings that might have any records about the Platform of Trials.”
“This disciple understands,” God of Wind acquiesced.
God of Magenta frowned. If he had known that this day would come, he would have never taken Lu Yin into Gods’ Origin. He had assumed that the youth would never be able to escape from him, but he had done just that. Even if Lu Yin had only been taken to the Platform of Trials that only elders and core disciples of Gods’ Origin could enter that the ordinary disciples never saw, if Lu Yin ever got a single glimpse of the place, he would instantly realize God of Magenta’s connection to Xia Ji, and that would be a problem.
Lu Yin could never be allowed to see that place.

“Brother Lu, Gods’ Origin has gathered seventeen ruins that have Rune Technology, including cities, battlefields, and worlds that were hidden in pocket dimensions or parallel universes. They were found throughout the Cosmic Sea, Outerverse, Innerverse, and Neoverse. Do you want to just visit them one by one, or is there something specific that you’d like to see?” God Taiyi asked.
Lu Yin was surprised. “Can I see them all?”

God Taiyi suddenly looked solemn. “Of course. I can show you anything, as long as God of Mirrors doesn’t outright object.”
God Xiaobai jumped in, “I can show you around too, Big Brother Lu. God of Mirrors won’t say no.”
Lu Yin nodded and then followed the two to visit the first of the ruins.
They entered an abandoned city that looked similar to the one that Lu Yin had seen in the Outerverse, only larger and more complete.
He saw various weapons formed solely from runes. These weapons were simply casually laying around on the ground, and disciples from Gods’ Origin could be seen wandering about from time to time, and they would bow whenever they saw Lu Yin and the others.
“These ruins are essentially my Gods’ Origin’s equivalent of a battle technique catalog that other powers might have. In these places, we can study and learn from the long-gone Rune Civilization. Even a broken brick or a rag of cloth might be able to grant people inspiration, and the entire ruins are a treasure,” God Taiyi explained in a pious tone.
God Xiaobai nodded in agreement. “I spent a long time staring at a jade hairpin, and eventually, I was able to reach the Clarity level of Truesight.”
Comprehension and breakthroughs related to Truesight could not be accomplished with a single day in the ruins, but Lu Yin did not expect to reach the Infinity realm anytime soon. He was visiting the ruins more so because of his curiosity regarding the era when the Rune Civilization had flourished. It was impossible to thoroughly explore all these ruins in a short amount of time.
