Chapter 2846: Easy To Support

Lu Yuan clasped his hands behind his back. "There is no perfectly fair system in any of the myriad universes. While some may seem to endanger everyone in it, there are some people who can obtain special opportunities and climb higher step by step as a result. As for others, they may live tragic lives."

Lu Yin was surprised. "What level of power do those who have mastered the will of a universe possess?"

Lu Yuan looked at the young man. "Equal to the Three Realms Six Dao or higher.

"However, you are somehow different. When you were Lu Xiaoxuan, you created Flipping the Sky on your own, and that battle technique utilizes the will of the Fifth Mainland. While you created it without deliberately intending to incorporate that aspect, creating it still woke me up, which is why you left an impression on me."

Lu Yin understood. It was no wonder why he had felt the entire Fifth Mainland tremble every time he used Flipping the Sky. "Even back then, was I able to wield some of the Fifth Mainland’s will?"

Lu Yuan laughed. "That’s exactly the part that I’ve never been able to understand. Let alone back then, even now, you shouldn’t be able to receive the will of the Fifth Mainland. Even if everyone refers to you as Dao Monarch, those words are a beacon, and they mean that you have received the will of the Fifth Mainland. Have you done so?"

Lu Yin thought for a while. "Maybe I have, slightly."

Lu Yuan had not expected Lu Yin to have even slightly touched upon such a thing. It should be impossible for anyone to interact with the will of a universe before reaching the Progenitor level. How could a mere Semi-Progenitor do so?

The will of a universe was fundamentally different from the laws of a universe and sequence particles. The laws of the universe were rules that could be manipulated, while the will of a universe could be regarded as the universe’s blessing. The two were completely different concepts.

Lu Yin opened his hand, bringing out his Wordless Heavenly Book. "Ancestor, this lists countless names, and all of them seem to belong to people from the Fifth Mainland."

Lu Yuan stared blankly at the Wordless Heavenly Book. What was this feeling?

The man stared at the Wordless Heavenly Book for a long time. Lu Yin waited to the side, not disturbing the older man. His ancestor was indeed able to see Lu Yin’s inner world. He had no idea how many people at the Great Sovereign’s Tea Ceremony had been capable of seeing this inner world. However, Forgotten Ruins G.o.d and Corpse G.o.d at the least had not been able to see anything.

After some time, Lu Yuan revealed a bitter smile. "No wonder. No wonder I wasn’t able to sense the will of the Fifth Mainland when I returned. That will has already been transferred to another."

Lu Yin stared at Lu Yuan in confusion.

Lu Yuan turned to give Lu Yin a look of admiration, yet deep in the old man’s eyes, concern could also be seen. There was also something else, but what? Love? Pity? "I was in seclusion for so long that it was not impossible for the will of the Fifth Mainland to transfer to another person. Originally, I had expected it to be that kid, Lu Tianyi. Throughout the entire Fifth Mainland, only he could possibly qualify to receive the will of the Fifth Mainland, which was why I was able to sleep in peace.

"I never expected the Great Sovereign to seal my perception and allow my Lu family to be exiled. Because of that, Lu Tianyi was unable to receive the will of the Fifth Mainland. Instead, you succeeded me.

"Dao Monarch is nothing more than a t.i.tle, and anyone can receive it, but things have changed drastically if the Fifth Mainland recognizes that t.i.tle as well. Little Seven, you have lived through much, far more than we have even imagined. You have also helped countless people, or else the Fifth Mainland would have never acknowledged you.”

Images of the various wars that Lu Yin had partic.i.p.ated in flashed through his mind. He had almost forgotten about everything he had gone through, but there did seem to be an increasing number of statues of him in the Fifth Mainland.

"Ancestor, are you saying that I have obtained the will of the Fifth Mainland?"

Lu Yuan nodded. "Yes, and that's why I can no longer sense the will of the Fifth Mainland. I had a.s.sumed that it was just because I was gone for too long. I did not expect this to be the reason."

Lu Yin had already told his ancestors that he possessed four inner worlds, but Lu Yuan and Lu Tianyi had not examined them. Every cultivator kept their powers secret, and Lu Yin did the same. Even the other members of the Lu family would not press into these matters, no matter how surprised they might have been to learn that Lu Yin possessed four inner worlds.

If Lu Yuan had borne witness to Lu Yin’s Semi-Progenitor tribulation, he would have realized that Lu Yin had received the will of the Fifth Mainland and was a true Dao Monarch.

"Every name on this book represents someone who acknowledges you. This is the only way to be recognized by the Fifth Mainland. After all, all of these people are from the Fifth Mainland. This also means that, if you write someone’s name in here, they will be shunned by the will that you now wield," Lu Yuan explained.

Lu Yin's eyes blazed with excitement. The Wordless Heavenly Book could already help him by blocking sequence particles, which should be related to the power of the Fifth Mainland. However, this information reflected a new ability. He already wanted to shun Bai w.a.n.gyuan, w.a.n.g Fan, Bai Xian'er, and all who had betrayed his family. Lu Yin’s will was also the will of the Fifth Mainland, and he could wield that will against others.

"Once people are shunned, they will be the same as Nutjob Lu. As long as they are in the Fifth Mainland, their strength will be severely limited," Lu Yuan reminded.

A sudden thought occurred to Lu Yin, and he blurted out, "Are you saying that the Seven SkyG.o.ds are unable to wield their true power in the Fifth Mainland?"

Lu Yuan laughed. "Exactly! If not for that, how else do you think I could have slept so peacefully?

"Tianyi's strength, combined with the Fifth Mainland’s various Progenitors, meant that they were capable of stopping all the Seven SkyG.o.ds, as they are unable to fully exert their strength in our universe. Even if their True G.o.d showed up, Tianyi can barely hold out long enough for me to wake up."

Lu Yin let out a breath. This explained things, and he now understood why things had not made sense before.

He had wondered why the Seven SkyG.o.ds had been so powerful in the Sixverse a.s.sociation’s universe’s while seeming relatively lacking in the Fifth Mainland. Undying G.o.d had been almost beaten to death by Lu Yin. Initially, Lu Yin had a.s.sumed that it was because the Python Ancestor had suppressed Undying G.o.d’s ability to use sequence particles. While that was undoubtedly one factor, more importantly, the Seven SkyG.o.ds had been shunned by the will of the Fifth Mainland. They were like ordinary humans who were struggling to breathe.

Lu Yuan continued to explain, "This is also why that crazy woman, the Great Sovereign, is able to hold back True G.o.d. Otherwise, how could something who is overcoming Dukkha hope to do that?"

Lu Yn was still immersed in the joy of what he had learned about his Wordless Heavenly Book and was not paying any attention to what Lu Yuan was saying.

Lu Yuan looked over at Lu Yin and saw the excitement in the young man’s eyes and shook his head. "Put away that Wordless Heavenly Book. From now on, never use it unless you are facing death, or unless you receive my permission."

Lu Yin felt confused. "Why is that?"

Lu Yuan's expression fell. "Listen, If you don't want to die."

Lu Yin quickly put away the Wordless Heavenly Book and focused attentively to what Lu Yuan was about to say.

The older man’s expression was quite somber. "A Dao Monarch is just a lamp, a guiding light. This is a saying that has been pa.s.sed down in my Fifth Mainland since ancient times. Have you ever heard this?"

Lu Yin thought for a bit. "Bai w.a.n.gyuan once spoke to me when I said that I wanted to become the Dao Monarch. He told me a story…"

Lu Yuan silently listened. "That story is very accurate. He clearly does not know precisely what the t.i.tle of Dao Monarch means to the Fifth Mainland, but Progenitors are more sensitive to certain things. Thus, Bai w.a.n.gyuan had a deep sense of unease when he heard that you wanted to claim that t.i.tle."

"Ancestor, what's wrong with the t.i.tle of Dao Monarch?"

Lu Yuan grew serious. "The t.i.tle of Dao Monarch is nothing more than a guiding lamp. If I told you the reason for that, the karma involved with being a guiding light would be too dangerous for you. In short, do not use the Wordless Heavenly Book unless it is absolutely necessary. Don’t reveal to anyone that you have been recognized by the will of the Fifth Mainland. If you have any problems, push all of them to me. Do you understand?”

In the past, Lu Yin had not believed in karma, but after seeing Destina transfer karma to avoid dying from a divination’s backlash, as well as learning that Seruzen was capable of seeing karma, Lu Yin had come to believe in it.

There were countless powers throughout the megaverse, and they could be astoundingly mysterious. It was impossible for Lu Yin to understand all of them, and it was possible that there was a power that could allow a person to perceive a universe’s will.

Ancestor Lu Yuan's warning made Lu Yin feel nervous. The universe that he could perceive was only at a certain level, and he understood that reaching the level of the Three Realms Six Dao would cause his perception to transform. In the past, he had not known anything about the existence of something like the will of the universe.

"By the way, Ancestor, after my Semi-Progenitor breakthrough where I obtained the Wordless Heavenly Book, I used it to block Sovereign Shao Yin’s attacks that used sequence particles, and many people from the Sixverse a.s.sociation saw it. Even if they could not see the Wordless Heavenly Book, they know that I have the power to endure attacks that include sequence particles," Lu Yin said after remembering this matter.

Lu Yuan replied, "No matter the universe, only those who have been acknowledged by the will of their universe will be capable of seeing it. I am able to see it, and I immediately recognized the will of my Fifth Mainland, but other people will not be able to do the same. The Wordless Heavenly Book is able to block the laws of a universe, but most people will only think that your inner world is absurdly strong. They won’t be able to connect it to the will of the Fifth Mainland.

"After thinking about it, there is nothing that you can do about what has already happened. The most important thing is that you cannot use the Wordless Heavenly Book in combat again, to minimize the chances of anyone recognizing it."

Lu Yin acknowledged his understanding.

After warning Lu Yin, Lu Yuan visibly relaxed. "Despite the danger of receiving the will of the Fifth Mainland so early, this is also an accomplishment that has never happened throughout all of history. As a Semi-Progenitor, you have received the will of a universe, and you are able to shun people from this universe. It’s quite possible that the only person who could surpa.s.s your achievement is the Origin Progenitor himself."

Lu Yin felt proud of himself. "When were the Three Realms Six Dao acknowledged by the will of a universe?"

Lu Yuan took a moment to answer. "Each of us was different, and we all had our own way of doing things. For example, when the Origin Progenitor gave me the Fifth Mainland and appointed me as its Dao Monarch, I worked to improve the Fifth Mainland. I spread my cultivation method and slowly managed to receive the Fifth Mainland’s acknowledgement.

"Both the Mavis woman and Wu Tian were similar to me, especially Wu Tian. He spread weapons techniques everywhere, which caused him to be admired by too many people."

Lu Yin felt confused. "Which universe recognized Wu Tian?"

In the Heavens Sect era, every Mainland could have been regarded as a separate universe, with each Mainland serving as its own foundation. However, the G.o.d of Death, Wu Tian, and Destiny had not ruled over any Mainlands.

Lu Yuan did not answer the question. "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but rather that telling you could influence you into taking a shortcut. Everyone's path is different. Your current level of strength allows you to understand some paths, but if you do not understand on your own and instead are guided by me, then you could be negatively impacted. It’s best to just allow things to develop naturally.”

Lu Yin nodded and did not try to press the matter. He was still only a Semi-Progenitor and was far from becoming a Progenitor. After he became a Progenitor, his strength would most likely allow him to pry into the mysteries of the entire megaverse, including things like sequence particles, sequence strings, the will of the various universes, and more.

Cultivation was not a single path, and Lu Yin was already walking down his own unique path untrodden by anyone else.

"By the way, let's speak of something else. How did you get Blackie's power?" Lu Yuan suddenly asked.

Lu Yin was stunned. "Blackie?"

"You would know him as the G.o.d of Death." Lu Yuan shared an unbelievable piece of gossip.

The G.o.d of Death’s name was Blackie?

Lu Yin was stunned. Was that really a person’s name?

Lu Yuan laughed. "I knew you’d make that face! Hahahaha! That’s the name that the Origin Progenitor gave him, so just get used to it. Do you know what Wu Tian’s original name was?

"Big Thug! Hahahaha!"

Lu Yin was slow to respond. Big Thug?

"He changed his name to Wu Tian later on, using his influence to completely erase the name of Big Thug. Blackie did the same thing, though he didn’t change his name and instead simply allowed others to refer to him as the G.o.d of Death. Who would dare to mention the name of Blackie in front of him? If anyone breathed a word of that name, they would definitely be hunted down."
