Chapter 3151: Mirebound Artifact

After putting Evernight away, Lu Yin continued to roll his die.

It landed on six. Lu Yin smiled with relief. He had thought that it would take awhile to land on Possession, but this meant that he did not need to wait another ten days.

His consciousness appeared in the dark space, and he let out a sigh of relief. Appearing here meant that he could use divine energy to Possess another person who had cultivated the same energy. All he needed to do was find a glowing sphere.

A dim sphere appeared in the distance, but its brightness made it obvious that it was not what Lu Yin was looking for.

Many individuals were qualified to cultivate divine energy, such as the spies who had infiltrated the Heavens Sect and destroyed the cosmic doors with their divine energy. They might not have fully mastered the energy, but they had at least been able to use it a bit.

His consciousness continued to traverse through the dark space. Soon, Lu Yin saw a bright ball of light. It was so bright that it was almost blinding. He grew excited, as it had to represent a powerhouse at the level of the Three Pillars and Six Skies. There was no other way for the orb to be so bright.

This brightness indicated that the person was much stronger than Lu Yin.

As expected, there was a barrier between Lu Yin and this orb of light, which meant that his target was in another parallel universe, not in the Origin Universe.

That was disappointing, as Lu Yin had hoped to Possess Aeternus’s most mysterious figure, Whiteless God. He wanted to find out who that person was.

His consciousness rushed towards the orb and slammed into the invisible barrier. Gradually, his consciousness pushed through the barrier, pressing until he broke through. He then immediately merged with the sphere of light.

At that moment, memories surged into his mind, as well as the sight of a piercing gaze. There were scarlet eyes staring at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin\'s scalp went numb. He had been discovered. As he realized this, he also understood who he had Possessed: Ancient God, Gu Yizhi.

"A mirebound artifact? So that\'s how it is. It’s no wonder how you’ve been able to reach such heights. I should have known." A voice rang out, and Lu Yin quickly ended his Possession, returning his consciousness to the strange dark space.

This was the first time he had been discovered when Possessing someone. That voice had belonged to True God, who had learned of Lu Yin’s secret.

"Do you think that you can leave so easily?" The dark space trembled, and a square seal appeared before Lu Yin\'s consciousness and then smashed down into it.

Blood spurted from Lu Yin’s mouth the moment his consciousness returned to his own body. He staggered. Blood dripped from his mouth as his pupils fluctuated. His eyes only intermittently showed a sense of clarity amidst confusion.

It took a while for Lu Yin to recover from the blurry vision. His head continued to spin.

But the worst part was the damage that had been done to his inner universe; a crack had appeared in his star of consciousness.

This was not the first time that Lu Yin had seen that seal, as it was the same as the coordinate seal that had been Aeternus Nation’s anchor. The Sixverse Association also used coordinate seals, as people could leave traces on them to easily travel to various parallel universes. A coordinate seal should not have been able to badly harm Lu Yin while his consciousness was in the dark space. Clearly, there was more to the seal than what he knew.

His die had always been Lu Yin\'s trump card. One pip allowed him to Pilfer items from cosmic rings. Two pips allowed him to Decompose items into their raw materials. Three pips could Enhance items. Four pips was Timestop. Five pips, Gift Copy, could copy another person’s innate gift. Six pips granted the ability to Possess another individual. While many people had made guesses about Lu Yin’s die’s different abilities, no one had ever truly understood his innate gift.

In particular, Lu Yin had thought that no one would ever be able to unravel the truth behind Possession.

Even when he had Possessed Di Xia and Mu Ji in the Third Scourge, despite the close proximity to Di Qiong, Lu Yin was certain that no one had detected what he had done.

Unfortunately, True God had discovered Lu Yin, and he had even attacked him while his consciousness was in the mysterious dark space.

Lu Yin grew extremely wary, as his greatest secret had just been exposed.

Conflicting emotions appeared in his eyes. He should have anticipated such a possibility, but he had become accustomed to everything related to his die going smoothly. He had forgotten that his die might not be the most mysterious item in existence.

True God had also mentioned something called a "mirebound artifact." Was Lu Yin’s die a mirebound artifact? Just what was a mirebound artifact?

He needed to find an opportunity to ask about this.

Lu Yin had been discovered by True God while Possessing Ancient God because a means of control had been left behind in the Skygod. Lu Yin had not seen this in Ancient God’s memories, but he had sensed it the moment that he had Possessed the man.

There was a reason why Ancient God had betrayed humanity.

Also, during the very brief moment that Lu Yin had Possessed Ancient God, he had managed to glimpse a few crucial memories regarding the Megalith Poison.

He was fortunate that his first thought had been to focus on the Megalith Poison, as if he had delayed by even a single moment, he would have learned nothing at all.

Megalith Poison was not something that the Aeternals had developed through research, but was rather a living creature’s saliva. That creature was known as the Megalith.

The Megalith was a white beast that slept in outer space and fed on vitality. Vitality was simply the source of life. Without it, a creature could do nothing; food would not provide any aid, and all cultivation would vanish as well. This was the result of losing one’s vitality.

The Megalith thrived on vitality, which was its favorite food.

Megalith Poison was saliva collected from the slumbering Megalith.

Lu Yin had actually seen the creature before. While fishing in the River of Time with Infinity, he had seen a scene with a monster that looked like a whale. The beast had simply rolled over, and that movement had shattered the void and exposed the Hollow. That creature had been the Megalith.

The Megalith fed on vitality, which resulted in its own vitality being unimaginably powerful. Describing the beast as possessing earth-shattering power was no exaggeration. Vitality could be transformed into physical might, and Lu Yin had been astounded by the Megalith’s power.

He had not expected Aeternus to have captured, tamed, and used such a creature as a source of Megalith Poison.

The briefness of the Possession meant that Lu Yin had not been able to learn where the Megalith was located from Ancient God’s memories. Lu Yin had only managed to discover where Megalith Poison came from, as well as its antidote.

Ironically, the antidote for Megalith Poison was Time Poison.

The Megalith had been naturally born from a universe, and it had no natural enemies. Due to its incredible vitality and enormous size, no astral beast could kill the monster. In fact, astral beasts would not even dare to approach the Megalith. Simply getting close would cause them to lose their vitality, and no one could survive that.

However, no creature in existence was invincible.

The Megalith\'s greatest fear was time. The passage of time terrified it, which was why it was always sleeping; it was avoiding the sensation of the passage of time.

Everything about the Megalith could be eroded by time, but this refers to time that has undergone significant change, rather than the normal passage of time.

Lu Yin suspected that the Aeternals had managed to trap the Megalith because of Time Poison.

Despite knowing the antidote to Megalith Poison, it would not be easy to find Time Poison.

Time Poison was not just a type of power, but rather the physical manifestation of time itself. Lu Yin’s first thought was of the mist in the Mirari Realm, which could certainly counter the Megalith Poison, but he did not have access to the Mirari Realm.

The one relief for Lu Yin was that not even Aeternus had access to more Megalith Poison.

It was not easy to harvest saliva from the Megalith. Approaching the beast was incredibly dangerous, as even the Seven Skygods risked losing all their vitality.

Over the course of many years, Aeternus had only acquired a very limited amount of Megalith Poison.

Attacking the Five Spirits Alliance and the Luna Alliance had used up all of the Megalith Poison that Aeternus had gathered. They had successfully dealt with eight sequence powerhouses at once, but they had depleted their stores of Megalith Poison to do so.

This meant that it was time to attack the First Scourge.

Lu Yin touched his chest, sensing his injured star of consciousness. However, that was Lu Yin’s only injury, and his physical body remained unharmed. The plan could be carried out without any delays. Waiting would only give the Aeternals more time to prepare.

***

In the Lost Clan’s universe, Great Elder Shan Gu was standing in outer space, his Heavenly King card in his hand.

There had not been any further disturbances. Had someone taken the Primeval card that had appeared? How had that card appeared?

Huh? Great Elder Shan Gu noticed someone approaching him.

Lu Yin soon arrived. "Why are you here, Great Elder?"

Shan Gu replied, "Just watching. Connecting two universes will inevitably cause a few points of friction."

Lu Yin smiled. "Of course, but there’s no need to worry about that. If the Lost Clan prefers to not interact with others, there’s no problem. The primary reason behind connecting our universes is so that we can instantly support each other and defend against any attacks from Aeternus quickly."

"Why did you come to see me?" Shan Gu asked. He could not help but think back to when he had caught a glimpse of a card’s corner, but the recent commotion could not be related to that Primeval card. Otherwise, there would have been a much stronger reaction.

If that card had made an appearance, then the entire universe would have trembled.

Lu Yin sighed. "Honestly, I’ve never managed to fully understand Evernight, and I’m not familiar with its combat applications. I came here to ask you, Great Elder, about the card’s abilities."

With Evernight now Enhanced into a Primeval card, Lu Yin needed to use it in battle. For that, it was essential that he understand and master the card before fighting with it.

Of course, Lu Yin had no intention of showing the upgraded Evernight to Great Elder Shan Gu, as the man would immediately notice the change. It would be extremely difficult for Lu Yin to explain what had happened.

Shan Gu did not suspect a thing. "Evernight is a card that has been with my Lost Clan for ages. It\'s equal to my own Heavenly King, as both are seven star Immemorial cards. Evernight’s primary technique is called the Dark Palace."

"Dark Palace?" Lu Yin asked curiously.

Great Elder Shan Gu stared at Lu Yin. "You’ve never asked me about Evernight before. I had assumed that you weren’t interested in our cards."

Lu Yin apologized, saying, "I’ve focused on too many battle techniques, and there are times when I don’t know which abilities I should focus on mastering. That may have given you the wrong impression."

Shan Gu gave a knowing smile. "I suspect that your interest in our Lost Clan’s cards has increased since our last conversation."

Lu Yin was taken aback. He had not even considered that.

"Before we last spoke, you likely regarded my Lost Clan as just another civilization that also could not compare to your Origin Universe. At best, we might have been equal to the Cyclic Universe, though only by relying heavily on our Primeval cards. Our talk showed you our previous peak, and you started to see Evernight as more important," Great Elder Shan Gu guessed.

Lu Yin had not consciously thought of such things, but Shan Gu\'s reasoning was sound.

The Lost Clan was not from the same megaverse as him, and in the past, they had given rise to unimaginable powerhouses, which suggested that their civilization enjoyed just as glorious a past as the Heavens Sect. This history made it reasonable for Lu Yin to start placing more importance on Evernight.

Lu Yin smiled wryly. "It’s difficult to hide anything from you, Great Elder. Yes, I always believed that a person’s individual strength was the foundation of cultivation. I never imagined that a civilization could achieve such glory with something like your people’s cards."

Shan Gu sighed. "A senior once mentioned that anything that exists in reality can develop in its own unique way. No species is invincible, but there is also no species incapable of growing and improving."

The old man sighed. "Even a blade of grass or a simple stone can find a path forward to improve upon. It all depends on whether or not that path can be found."
