"Da Qiang once followed the great tree to Primordial City. By then, the battlefield at Primordial City already existed. Eternal didn't seem to trust Da Qiang and had never brought him there, not knowing that Da Qiang had already come and met me, learning the truth."
"But it was too late. He was under Eternal's control, and even I could hardly free him. Old Man Mu and the others couldn't do it either. He didn't want to be freed, either. He wanted to find the Fates."
Lu Yin understood. "Senior Ancient God has wanted to find out who harmed you from the very beginning, Ancestor. Whether it was the Eternal Clan or the Fates, he wanted to find them."
The Ancestor's gaze dimmed. "I don't want him to find them. If he does, it'll all be over."
"The Fates are at the Eternal Life Realm."
Lu Yin's pupils contracted. For the first time since he had entered the cultivation world, he had learned with absolute certainty that a being had reached the Eternal Life Realm. For the first time, he had learned that the Eternal Life Realm was a realm one could enter.
The Fates, the Eternal Life Realm—a realm that made people despair.
Even the Ancestor and Mr. Mu could hardly fight against it. They could only flee.
Lu Yin was confused. "The Fates must know about Primordial City, so why leave it here? Leave..." He didn't finish the rest, but his meaning was clear.
The Ancestor smiled. "Leave us here?"
Lu Yin fell silent.
The Ancestor looked bewildered. "I've thought about this question for a very, very long time, and still have no answer. I thought there might never be an answer, but your arrival has given me one."
Lu Yin was confused.
The Ancestor met his gaze.
