Chapter 2836: Descendant Of The Lu Family
Lu Yin\'s eyes flashed as various guesses flickered through his mind.
"Was it because the Aeternals attacked the Heavens Sect?"
"Senior Great Sovereign, do you believe that this junior\'s guess was in error?"
"The results show that you were correct. You took on the identity of Xuan Qi. Did Sovereign Shao Yin know about this?"
Lu Yin frowned. This line of questioning was not something that he had foreseen. "That’s correct. He admitted it to me himself. He knew that this junior was Xuan Qi, and the attempt to slander me at the Tea Ceremony was done in order to lure Bai Wangyuan and the other Progenitors away from the Perennial World. Not only did Aeternus attack the Origin Universe, but also the Tea Ceremony."
"You suspected long ago that Shao Yin might be a spy, so why did you not report your suspicions to me?" Great Sovereign demanded. As she shouted, a terrifying pressure fell upon Lu Yin, leaving him dizzy.
Great Elder Shan Gu quickly spoke up. "Great Sovereign-"
"Shan Gu, this is a matter between the Lu family and me. This has nothing to do with you." The Great Sovereign cut the man off, causing Great Elder Shan Gu to frown.
Mu Shen added in, "Great Sovereign, you are well aware of just how cunning the Aeternals are. Lu Yin alone cannot see through their schemes. If such a thing were possible, humanity would not be in its current situation."
Lord Wei\'s eyes flickered. This was not a matter of right or wrong. Rather, it was about the fact that the Great Sovereign had been humiliated. Sovereign Shao Yin had been one of her people, but he had just been revealed as the greatest traitor in the history of the Sixverse Association. This incident had had a massive impact on the Great Sovereign. There was no way to conceal such an important matter, and she had lost face.
What she was concerned about was that Lu Yin had never shared his suspicions with her. If he had, regardless of whether the Tea Ceremony had been attacked, no matter what actions Aeternus might have taken, the Great Sovereign would not have been passive regarding Sovereign Shao Yin.
What she cared about was the loss of face and respect. She regarded herself as the master of all of humanity, but she had also groomed the greatest traitor in the entire Sixverse Association. This was completely unacceptable.
However, when considering the matter, Sovereign Shao Yin had repeatedly made several grave mistakes on the Endless Frontier, which had all been deliberate. In addition to those mistakes, he had also instigated internal conflicts within the Sixverse Association, and even proposed that the Great Sovereign banish the Lu family. All of these things had been terribly damaging to humanity as a whole, and mankind had suffered grave losses. Worse, all of this had been done with the tacit approval of the Great Sovereign.
How would this matter ultimately be recorded in the annals of human history?
The Great Sovereign had had the opportunity to avoid such a mishap, but only if Lu Yin had warned her in advance. Lu Yin had not done so, and that was the cause of her anger.
Sovereign Shao Yin had never been a fool. He had always acted deliberately and with a clear purpose.
This was in line with Aeternus’s methods. When the Origin Universe’s Mainlands had been shattered one after another, and when the Three Realms Six Dao had fallen, that had all been done through the cunning schemes of the Aeternals. Specifically, they had provoked various betrayals. The Aeternals were in no way inferior to humans, and, in fact, their unwavering loyalty to True God meant that Aeternus as a whole was more united than humanity.
Lu Yin took a deep breath. "This junior had nothing more than guesses. If I had told the Great Sovereign without presenting any evidence, would the Great Sovereign have believed me?"
"Whether or not I would have believed you is my business. You concealed this matter from me. This is your first crime. Shao Yin used you to create an opening by diverting everyone\'s attention, which allowed the Aeternals to launch a massive attack. This is your second crime. If not for you, the Origin Universe would not have been targeted by Aeternus. Because of you alone, the Origin Universe faced imminent destruction. This is your third crime. Child of the Lu family, you can now plead guilty."
Lu Yin snorted in annoyance. "Great Sovereign, is this some sort of joke?"
Everyone\'s expressions changed.
Lord Xu wanted to slap a hand over Lu Yin\'s mouth.
Mu Ke immediately stepped forward. "Junior Brother."
Xu Heng, Xu Leng, and several others grew worried.
"Are you accusing me just based on a whim? Just because you, the Great Sovereign, is unable to defeat Aeternus and suffered losses, you blame me? Should I, Lu Yin, have died in the Origin Universe? Should I have allowed the Aeternals to continue the war on the rear battlefield? Do I need to answer to you for all of my actions?
"You want to condemn me? Do you really think that you are the Origin Progenitor? Do you really believe that your Cyclic Universe can replace the Heavens Sect?
"Do you think that I\'m afraid of you?"
The sound of a pin dropping would have echoed throughout the entire Tea Ceremony at this moment.
Everyone stared blankly at Lu Yin as he shouted and insulted the Great Sovereign. Clearly, he had lost his mind.
Lu Yin had indeed lost his mind at this moment. This crazy woman was actually trying to condemn him of ridiculous crimes. She was unable to defeat Aeternus, so she wanted to force the blame onto him!
At this time, Lu Yin was not considering the difference in strength between him and the Great Sovereign, nor was he considering anything else. Even without Mister Mu\'s promise that the Great Sovereign would not harm Lu Yin, or the return of the Lu family, Lu Yin would react in the exact same manner. If not, how could he maintain his dignity as the Dao Monarch of the Heavens Sect? Otherwise the people of the Origin Universe would lose all face.
Lu Yin was the spiritual support for countless people. Why would he accept being condemned by this crazy woman?
Mu Ke moved in front of Lu Yin, and he faced the Great Sovereign. "Senior Great Sovereign, for the sake of our master, I ask that you refrain from arguing with my junior brother."
Great Elder Shan Gu shook his head, and stepped forward to stand in front of Lu Yin as well. The man felt that he had no choice. Not only did he admire Lu Yin as a person, but there was also the fact that the young man was able to draw out the Primeval card. That was a qualitatively different level of power. This boy could not die.
Lord Xu\'s expression changed, and he also stepped forward. Regardless of how angry the Great Sovereign might be, it was impossible for her to take action against the rulers of the other member universes of the Sixverse Association. It would be best if they could beg for mercy. If there was no way to help, then there was nothing that Lord Xu could do. Wu Tian, I did my best.
When Mu Shen stepped forward, he did so for the sake of Mu Ke and the Origin Universe’s Third Mainland. Furthermore, since Ancient God wanted Lu Yin dead so badly, it was important to keep him alive, as it would be to humanity’s benefit.
Unexpectedly, Lord Wei also stepped forward and stood in front of Lu Yin. This was something that no one had anticipated.
"Great Sovereign, please appease your anger."
"Great Sovereign, please appease your anger."
"Great Sovereign, please appease your anger."
One after another, numerous peak powerhouses stepped forward. Among them were Xu Wuwei, Xu Heng, Xu Leng, Xiu Ci, and many more. One by one, these people walked over to stand in front of Lu Yin and bow to the Great Sovereign.
Some of these people stood for Lu Yin himself, while others stepped forward in support of their own masters or the ruler of their universe. Everyone had their own motivations, but even so, ultimately, almost every peak powerhouse present stood to ask for mercy for Lu Yin.
Arrow Sage, Sage Jiang, and the other Sages glanced at each other. Did this child really have such deep connections in the Sixverse Association?
Sovereign Ninth Lotus frowned. Are you trying to force Master?
"Child of the Lu family, do you plead guilty?" the Great Sovereign demanded again.
Everyone\'s hearts sank. The Great Sovereign had not changed her attitude after hearing their pleas. She was determined to pin the blame on Lu Yin.
Why? The Great Sovereign\'s attitude seemed very odd. It was as if she was looking for an excuse to condemn Lu Yin while ignoring the facts.
Lu Yin clenched his fists as he stared at the Great Sovereign. "When have I committed a crime, and who are you to convict me?"
"You are so impudent! Kneel!" the Great Sovereign shouted angrily.
The void above everyone\'s heads exploded as a power that was too strong for anyone to resist appeared. It pressed down as though it was a law of the universe. This was the pressure that the Great Sovereign was forcing upon Lu Yin and everyone around him.
Her own strength allowed her to suppress everyone.
The Great Sovereign, the Origin Progenitor, and True God were all peers, and the nature of their power was fundamentally different from all others.
Even Mu Shen, the most senior of everyone present, was feeling the pressure.
This was the power of the master of humanity. If not for the Great Sovereign, True God could easily eliminate all of humanity.
The sky in front of Lu Yin was filled with sequence particles. At this moment, the Great Sovereign seemed to be the incarnation of the laws of the universe.
The entire universe was pressing down upon him.
"Kneel!"
The sequence particles descended upon Lu Yin, increasing the pressure on him.
He did not take out his Wordless Heavenly Book. That inner world could not even completely block Sovereign Shao Yin’s sequence particles. Trying to use it to block the Great Sovereign would be nothing more than a joke.
As the sequence particles fell towards Lu Yin, he felt as though the sky was pressing down on him. No matter how strong he might be, he could not resist this.
"Kneel!"
The word echoed again and again as the sequence particles slowly fell. Lu Yin suffered from the invisible pressure.
No one could help him withstand this pressure. He could only rely on himself.
He remained unyielding. He refused to kneel or beg for mercy. Why? Why should he be condemned?
"What qualifies you to condemn me? I am a member of the Lu family and the Dao Monarch of the Heavens Sect! The Heavens Sect has returned! You can’t handle Aeternus yourself, and you resent the ancient Heavens Sect! You resent the Lu family! You can’t stop Aeternus, and you can’t stand the fact that Sovereign Shao Yin betrayed you for True God, so you’re taking your anger out on me! Great Sovereign. Just who do you think you are?
"You crazy bitch!"
Lu Yin screamed his last words. They sounded as though they had been torn from his throat.
Shan Gu, Lord Xu, and the others all stared at Lu Yin in shock.
There was a solemn expression on Mu Ke\'s face, and he instantly crushed a jade slip in his hand. At this moment, words were useless.
Sovereign Ninth Lotus and many others were completely stunned. Never before had they heard anyone insult the Great Sovereign.
The same was true for Mu Shen and the others, and the entire situation felt bizarre to them.
How many years had it been? Even during the Heavens Sect era, when the Origin Universe had been at its peak, the Great Sovereign had enjoyed an exceptional status, and she had been qualified to freely meet with the Origin Progenitor, speaking to him as a peer. Despite that, she had just been scolded by a mere child.
Bai Xian\'er remained calm where she stood. A gust of wind blew past, ruffling her hair.
Lu Yin stared at the Great Sovereign with bloodshot eyes. Finally, he had spoken the words that he had kept bottled up for so long.
When he had first heard the true reason behind the Lu family’s exile, he had wanted to run over and scold the Great Sovereign. At this moment, he had finally done so.
Sovereign Shao Yin had never been anything more than a lackey. The Great Sovereign was the true power behind the Lu family’s exile, as she had been the one to block Ancestor Lu Yuan’s senses.
Sequence particles shone both in the sky above and in the ground below. "Child of the Lu family, kneel!"
With this sharp shout, the radiant sequence particles crashed down.
Lu Yin clenched his fists. He had no way to defend against this, so he decided to just accept it. Regardless of whether the Lu family returned, he had awakened Ancestor Lu Yuan. Lu Yin had accomplished his mission.
No one could help Lu Yin. Helping him meant confronting the Great Sovereign, and no one was confident enough to do that.
The sky and the ground both trembled. The entire Cyclic Universe was bearing down upon Lu Yin.
Lu Yin could not breathe, and his mind started to fade. He could not stay on his feet, but he could not allow himself to fall either. He could not humiliate himself. He represented the Origin Universe and the Heavens Sect. He was Lu Yin! He had climbed up from being an ordinary cultivator to his current status step by step. He had sacrificed so much, so how could he kneel at this moment?
No one could force him to kneel.
Blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth. His vision turned red, but he fearlessly stared at the Great Sovereign. He would die on his feet. "Crazy bitch."
The sequence particles dropped, landing on Lu Yin. The sky collapsed, and the earth shattered.
Suddenly, a hand appeared, protecting Lu Yin\'s head and stopping the sequence particles. After that, a figure stepped out and roared in fury, "You crazy bitch! What do you think you’re doing to this descendant of my Lu family?”
Mu Shen, Lord Xu, and everyone else stared at the man who had suddenly appeared. He looked 70% similar to Lu Yin, but his whole body radiated a golden light. Unlike Sovereign Shao Yin’s golden robes, this golden light was irresistible, seemingly capable of penetrating the entire universe.
However, the biggest difference between this man and Lu Yin was in the eyes.
Lu Yin\'s eyes revealed wisdom, calmness, and it hid fathomless depths.
The eyes of this person who had just appeared revealed one thing and one thing alone: dominance. These eyes were arrogant beyond all reason.
