Wendy Yu Shan grew increasingly vigilant. She could sense the danger brought by this sculpture—it was definitely no ordinary expert.
Lu Yin, however, paid it no mind. He simply waited face-to-face with Dead End.
"Star Sinking, thank you for taking care of me."
"I failed Chen Jian Eternal Life. I couldn't protect the Star Sinking Universe, which caused the Starry Sky Fist to be lost." Lu Yin felt guilty.
Dead End spoke: "It has nothing to do with you." After a moment of silence, it continued, "This era is very good. Your Human Civilization is flourishing, surpassing the Main Dao and no longer being oppressed."
"But this era is also bad, because it has lost its freedom."
Lu Yin looked at Dead End. "What do you mean?"
"It's merely prosperity within a cage. A bird wants to break free from its cage, only to discover that an even larger cage exists outside. Although the food is plentiful and the cage's world is vast beyond measure, a cage is still a cage. I don't like this era."
Lu Yin held his hands behind his back. "No matter how large a cage is, there will always come a day when it is broken open."
The square sculpture slowly rotated, as if observing the cosmic starry sky. "It's been too long. It's been far too long since I left the Sixth Barrier. I've even forgotten my mission."
"My life was bestowed by the Sixth Barrier. Ever since the Nine Barriers War, I considered breaking away from Human Civilization, but as time passed, what I thought about more and more was that person's punch. So I continuously collected starry sky maps, constantly hoping to see that punch again."
"But I couldn't do it."
Lu Yin did not interrupt. Hong Potian's punch?
That was right.
