Chapter 1194: Chapter 1180: Invitation from the Lane Patriarch
Are the Lion Craftsman and the Scar God enemies?
Baiyu discerned the meaning behind Patriarch Lane’s words.
However.
He had no idea before.
How could he possibly know such secrets of the Divine Spirits?
He had only learned about the three gods of the Blade Realm a few days ago.
"Patriarch Lane, what do you want to say?"
Baiyu asked.
Patriarch Lane smiled, "We are followers of the Lion Craftsman, and I myself am an Immortal of the Lion Craftsman.
You are a Favored of Black Moon.
We can cooperate.
Black Moon is a very special god; after the death of the Scorching Sun, Black Moon has taken charge of the Light Realm.
Even Setting Sun, Night Watcher, these gods of the Light Realm, cannot match Black Moon in terms of authority."
"Cooperate?"
"Yes, we need to explore a very peculiar place, rumored to be the cosmic Abyss.
Inside, there are hidden secrets to godhood.
I received an Oracle from the Lion Craftsman; a god will emerge there, one who will bring the Scorching Sun back to life.
This is very important!"
Patriarch Lane said sternly.
Baiyu frowned, "Patriarch Lane, are you mistaken? I think you should know the current state of Black Moon and my strength.
I don’t think I can participate in this adventure.
And.
I’m also unclear about what benefits this matter offers me.
And the importance you mentioned, I don’t quite understand."
Patriarch Lane’s face showed a hint of astonishment, but he quickly recovered and sighed, "It seems Black Moon’s situation is indeed grim, not even telling you these things?
Do you know.
We have always been resisting those strange races in the universe?
Whether it’s the Mechanical Race, Asura Race, or Insect Race, these are all races already infected by the Void.
Not just the Galaxy Element.
In fact.
In many other star systems, we have many allies resisting the invasion of these races.
They are the common enemies of all intelligent life in the universe.
Saying it like this, you might not understand.
But I can responsibly tell you, our greatest enemy in the Physical Cosmos is the threat from the Void.
Or rather.
The Void Realm.
The Dream Realm where the Divine Spirits dwell is, in fact, a wall blocking the connection road between the Void Realm and the Physical Cosmos.
However.
The Divine Spirits of the Void Realm can still infect and control the intelligent life within the Physical Cosmos through various means.
Our greatest enemy.
Is not the Mechanical Race, Asura Race, but the Void Realm.
But.
As the power of the Void Realm has grown stronger over the years, the Dream Realm urgently needs new Divine Spirits to replenish its strength.
Moreover.
We need a living master of the Dream Realm, which is the Scorching Sun."
Patriarch Lane said solemnly.
It’s just that.
Baiyu was skeptical of his words, and besides, given his current state, what right did he have to participate in a struggle involving Divine Spirits?
Isn’t that courting death?
Either becoming cannon fodder or facing destruction.
"Rest assured, Brother Geman. I just want to seek collaboration with you because as a Favored of Black Moon, you can provide conveniences for our actions in many places.
And now.
The Favored of Black Moon have become scarce.
I haven’t seen one in many years, so I’m this anxious.
You’ll probably need some time to digest this information, and as for the exploration of the cosmic Abyss, we’re not going now. When you come around, come to me.
I can only say.
There are many unimaginable treasures in the cosmic Abyss; even if you don’t obtain the secrets of godhood in the end, it will surely be a worthwhile trip.
At that time.
The Imperial is likely to organize an Abyss exploration team, and the news of the Abyss will also be released. You should believe what I’m saying then."
Patriarch Lane didn’t elaborate further.
After concluding this conversation with Baiyu, he talked more casually and shared some cultivation experiences.
Undeniably.
Patriarch Lane’s insights on cultivation were quite unique.
Baiyu benefited greatly after conversing with him.
Two days later.
This round of the Forgotten Association’s battle finally concluded in Perfection.
Baiyu and Harley took a carriage back to the Chaos Mother Star, and on the way back, Baiyu confirmed that the carriage definitely traversed through the Spirit Realm.
After Baiyu once again set foot on the soil of the Chaos Mother Star, half a month had passed.
He returned to the castle prepared for him by the Bain Clan.
Seeing Cang Yan and Nancy safe and sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Geman, if you want to see the old patriarch, feel free to find me at the Adventurer Association anytime."
Harley Bain said.
The way she looked at Baiyu had changed from before.
She never expected Baiyu to actually secure a seat in the Forgotten Association.
"Alright, I’ll come to you once I’m ready with a thank-you gift." Baiyu said with a smile.
He hadn’t forgotten to offer the reward promised to the Immortals of the Bain Clan.
A chance for a full-strength intervention.
This is an invaluable opportunity for the Immortals of the Bain Clan, something that, if used well, could help them secure enormous benefits.
"Baiyu, you finally remembered to come back!!"
From a distance.
Cang Yan ran towards him, leaping into Baiyu’s arms and rubbing his fluffy head against him.
"I had no choice, I didn’t know I’d be gone for so long. But I arranged for someone to look after you all, don’t worry.
The Reckoner can’t possibly find this place so quickly."
Baiyu patted Hamster’s head and then turned to Nancy, "Miss Nancy, I have a business proposal to discuss with you."
...
In the room.
Nancy watched Baiyu nervously.
"I need ten years of lifespan, but I won’t take it for free; I will offer you a sufficient and more generous reward."
Baiyu said directly.
Nancy asked, "What reward? My lifespan is limited, and I need to hire you for protection."
"Naturally, it’s also lifespan, but I can only provide you with people. As for how you use the Ashen Ledger to trade for their lifespan, that’s up to you."
Baiyu smiled.
Nancy frowned, "The Ashen Ledger’s transactions cannot be forced, and I won’t seize the lifespan of innocent people. That’s my principle."
Baiyu smiled, "They aren’t innocent; you’re quite familiar with them, as they are your arch-enemies, the Reckoners."
Upon hearing the term "Reckoners."
Nancy’s pupils widened in disbelief, "You want to provoke the Reckoners?"
"Not provoke, but a justified hunt."
Baiyu smiled, patting her shoulder, "Get ready, and we’ll set out later."
"Alright!"
Sparkles appeared in Nancy’s eyes.
Shortly after, Baiyu took Nancy to the most chaotic area of Abaida, the Lower District.
Baiyu held a card and arrived at a tavern on the side of the street, finding the tavern owner through the bartender directly.
After verifying Baiyu’s card, the other party immediately put on a very respectful expression:
"Mr. Geman, the Qida Clan of the Forgotten Association is at your service."
