Star Odyssey - Chapter 4313

[Chapter 4312: The Master of the Fortress]

Lu Yin recalled the scene when he escaped from the Red Civilization under the Stars. Indeed, when he said the word “unknowable”, Hong Xia paused. Was it a subconscious pause? Instinct?

“Some fears are like the essence of life and cannot be changed.” Jiang Feng said.

Lu Yin’s eyes flashed: “Could it be that his breakthrough is related to the essence of life?” He thought of the Immortal Lord, who had always wanted to escape from the Immortal Feather Civilization.

For Hong Xia, his strength is enough. If he wants to truly get rid of the shadow of the past, he must break through the essence of life and make himself less afraid.

He survived until now because of kneeling and surrendering, and it may also be because of this scene that he has not been able to make any progress.

Do you really think losing your dignity is a simple thing?

Some people are popular, but if they surrender, this popularity will be gone.

Qinglian Shangyu frowned: “If the breakthrough is in line with the three laws of the universe, even if we have worn away his twelve points of ruthlessness, we are definitely not his opponent, so we can’t wait.”

“And you are too young, who knows when you can break through.”

This is also the helpless side of Qinglian Shangyu and Jiuwen. They have waited too long, waiting for a suitable candidate. They have waited, but this person is too young. The advantage is that he can take action at any time to interrupt Hongxia’s breakthrough, but the disadvantage is that he is not sure to really kill Hongxia.

The original plan was that he and Jiuwen would join forces to fight Hongxia. After Hongxia’s twelve points of ruthlessness were worn away, they would be sure to kill him, but Hongxia’s turbid treasure was also taken into consideration.

The worst situation is what happened now. Hongxia used the turbid treasure to prevent Jiuwen from taking action. Qinglian Shangyu alone could not solve it. Otherwise, there would be no need for so many plots, and he could just take action directly.

In order to prevent Hongxia from breaking through, he must act even if the worst situation occurs.

“Since Red Knight knows of our existence, why hasn’t he made a move against us?” Jiang Feng was puzzled, but then he thought of it, because of the unknown.

Each unknown mission is different, and other unknowns cannot interfere.

Hui is almost certain that Mr. Mu has escaped here, but still cannot make a move for this reason. It has been waiting for so many years at the Ninth Barrier and dared not risk breaking the unknown rules.

Red Knight is also one of the unknowns, and he cannot make a move against this human civilization either.

It is the limit of what he can do to make Qinglian Shangyu one of the twelve ruthless ways.

“What is a base master?” Jingmen Shangyu asked.

Qinglian Shangyu said: “The nine bases correspond to the nine human civilizations. The base master is the master of each human civilization and the strongest existence of each human civilization.”

“Every base master.” At this point, he looked admiring: “They are at least as strong as the current Red Knight.”

Everyone was shocked, the current strength of the Red Knight?

No one knows what strength Hong Xia has, but at least Jiu Wen and Qing Lian Shang Yu, two beings that conform to the laws of the universe, are not sure about the battle, and need to plan for a long time. In the end, Jiu Wen even counted himself in, but there was still no head-on collision.

You can imagine how strong Hong Xia is.

The master of the fort is at least as strong as Hong Xia, the nine masters of the fort.

Everyone then understood what the nine forts were. It was a real giant, enough to sweep away all enemies within a square inch.

Lu Yin had a high estimate of the unknown, but even so, he did not think that the unknown could fight against the nine forts.

No wonder the defeat of the nine forts required the cooperation of many civilizations.

There are currently several known ones, and they are all fishing civilizations.

Those who do not reach the level of fishing civilization are not qualified to fight against the nine forts.

Hong Xia gave Lu Yin the feeling that he was close to the old ancestor of the mountain. If he had the turbid treasure of the suppression device, perhaps he could fight against the old ancestor of the mountain. This was the strength of the powerful enemy that Jiu Wen and Qing Lian Shang Yu had to plan for.

“Why was human civilization divided into nine forts in the past?” Mr. Mu was puzzled. The universe he was in was the ninth fortress, which was also one of the nine fortresses.

Qinglian Shangyu shook his head: “Many things in the past have been lost. I have asked Jiuwen some of these questions, but Jiuwen was just an ordinary young cultivator during the Nine Barriers period and had no access to deep things. Only two people in the world today know part of the past of that period.”

“One is Hong Xia. He was already a top master during the Nine Barriers period. It was because he plotted against the master of the Second Barrier, Hong Shuang, and betrayed the Second Barrier that a loophole appeared in the Nine Barriers.”

“The second one is Rang Yu.”

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed: “Rang Yu?”

Qinglian Shangyu looked at Lu Yin: “You have met Rang Yu, and you should have seen a lot of things from his causal past, but it’s a pity that you didn’t have much time. If you could understand Rang Yu’s life, even if you couldn’t see the whole Nine Barriers, you could at least see several of them clearly.”

“Rang Yu was the biggest enemy of the Red Hero in the early days. One of the twelve ruthless ways of the Red Hero is to forgive Rang Yu.”

Lu Yin understood: “No wonder Rang Yu was imprisoned so miserably, living a life worse than death, and even schizophrenia.”

Qinglian Shangyu said: “The person that the Red Hero hates most in his life is Rang Yu. Rang Yu was not a very powerful person during the Nine Fortresses period. He had a confrontation with the Red Hero. Only Jiuwen knows the details. Even if Jiuwen and I meet, we dare not say too much about the Red Hero. Such a strong man can easily feel it.”

“In short, one of the twelve ruthless ways of the Red Hero is to forgive Rang Yu.”

Everyone was shocked: “Forgive?”

Qinglian Shangyu nodded: “Forgiving Rang Yu is equivalent to giving up past grievances. When a person completely forgives his greatest enemy, is he good or evil?”

This question made everyone silent.

Everyone regards letting go of the past as a virtue, but even if someone can let go of grievances, can they really shake hands with their former enemies? Ordinary grievances cannot be done, let alone life and death enemies.

It is easy to imagine what Rang Yu did to be identified as the most hated enemy of Red Hero.

Since he was forgiven, Rang Yu’s imprisonment was not revenge, but Red Hero wanted to ensure that the one of the twelve ruthless ways must exist, so he was imprisoned, kept alive, but could not let him speak to the outside world.

Lu Yin had seen Rang Yu’s past and knew very well what kind of person Rang Yu was. He didn’t even need to think about what he had done. It must have been extremely cruel. If it were him, he would never forgive him. Forgiving such a person would be a betrayal of his former self.

Red Hero betrayed his former self in this way, so he became one of the twelve ruthless ways.

Qinglian Shangyu said in a low voice: “Over the years, Jiuwen has long seen through Hongxia’s ruthlessness. Perhaps that’s why Hongxia trusts him and has no hidden reasons.”

“The ruthlessness is to plot against the fort master Hongshuang, ignore the slaughter of the red civilization under the star, kneel down to the enemy, let go of the hatred for Rangyu, sacrifice Zhuobao, kill Hongyao, Jihe, Hexiao, Xishangfeng, Bingxu, Meirendan, and finally me.”

“This is Hongxia’s ruthlessness.”

“People can become the embodiment of the ruthless way, and so can things.”

Lu Yin’s eyes flickered: “Zhuobao is the Blood Tower Forest? Didn’t Jiuwen do that for him?”

Qinglian Shangyu said: “Hong Xia witnessed the placement of every human skin. He did not take action only to avoid the constraints of cause and effect. But his nature is placed on the Blood Tower Forest, just like the Merciless Dao.”

“Then why is the Blood Tower Forest at Xishang Peak?”

“It was a trick of Hong Xia to guard against Jiuwen, but Jiuwen saw through it a long time ago. It was because the Blood Tower Forest was at Xishang Peak that Jiuwen had the idea of sitting in the Blood Tower. This was also his realization.”

Blood Tower Shangyu was depressed. The Blood Tower, Blood Tower, just like his name, always felt something was wrong.

Jiang Feng asked, “Who is Hong Yao?”

Qinglian Shangyu said, “Hong Xia’s favorite disciple, you can also be considered his favorite person.”

“Just like the relationship he had with Hong Shuang.”

Everyone was shocked: “He has that kind of relationship with Hong Shuang?”

Qinglian Shangyu sighed, “If not, how could he plot against the master of the Second Wall. How long did Jiu Wen and I spend plotting against Hong Xia? But we still couldn’t really defeat him. At that time, it was no less difficult for him to plot against the master of Hong Shuang than it was for us to plot against him. However, Hong Xia saw it more clearly than us. He knew that if he wanted to plot against Hong Shuang, only Hong Shuang himself could do it.”

“Love is the most hurtful.”

“Aren’t they practicing the way of ruthlessness?” Mr. Mu was puzzled.

Qinglian Shangyu’s eyes were complicated: “The former ruthless way is different from the current ruthless way. Lu Yin, you can’t accept those people in the current ruthless way and those people in the order, then other human civilizations in the Nine Refinements period can accept them?”

Lu Yin understood: “Ruthless way, right and wrong.”

Qinglian Shangyu nodded: “Yes, ruthless way, right and wrong, this is the real ruthless way in the past. The current ruthless way has been led astray by the Red Hero. Jiuwen simply went all the way to the dark in order to gain the trust of the Red Hero. In fact, those people in the order acted ruthlessly, but they were born in the current ruthless way and had no choice in that environment.”

“This is not to excuse them. Some people’s evil is in their bones. It can only be said that the current ruthless way has released this evil.”

Everyone listened quietly. The more they understood, the more they marveled at the former Nine Refinements period. No wonder the mountain ancestor’s tone changed when he mentioned the Nine Refinements.

It didn’t dare to provoke the unknown, let alone the former Nine Refinements civilization.

“The red-clothed lady under the stars once said something.” Qinglian Shangyu recalled: “The red-clothed lady under the stars is ruthless, but Hongshuang is the most affectionate!”

“Hongshuang’s affection and the ruthlessness of the red-clothed lady under the stars, in Jiuwen’s words, are the symbols of that period, but in the end Hongshuang was betrayed by the person she loved the most.”

“Her life and death are a mystery, and she also took away the second barrier’s suppressing device, Zhuobao, and became the beginning of Hongxia’s defeat of the second barrier.”

Lu Yin was silent, Hongshuang? If so, she is really not a qualified barrier master, but he didn’t know the specific situation at that time. Maybe Hongshuang was injured by love and was unable to deal with Hongxia. After all, he didn’t understand the practice of ruthlessness.

Suddenly, he remembered the scene he saw when he was shaken by the memory of Tianque.

He saw a woman in red with her back to all living beings, buried in the mirage domain.

Woman in red, woman in red, could she be Hongshuang?

Lu Yin looked in the direction of the Tianyuan Universe, and the mirage domain is still there now.

Is it, or is it not?

“In the past, countless heroes appeared in the Red Civilization under the Stars. We have no choice but to attack the Red Knight now because we are worried that the Red Knight will break through. Ju Jiuwen guessed that perhaps the reason why many civilizations united to attack the Nine-base was the same as why we attacked the Red Knight.”

Lu Yin was surprised: “Are you worried that the Nine-base will become stronger?”
