Star Odyssey

Chapter 1172: Realm Of Memories

Lu Yin looked around the entire realm of memories and eventually chose a large bubble that he rushed straight into.

The scenery that greeted him was that of a starry sky, and before him was a planet that was actually resting within his hands.

Lu Yin was shocked; how was this possible? He was actually holding a planet in his hand! Just how big did this body have to be to do such a thing?

Progenitor Chen’s clone clutched the planet before turning around and slapping out at a point in the distance.
This attack was directed towards an old man dressed in brocade robes.
Upon seeing the planet smashing towards him, the old man’s expression changed drastically.
“Xia Shang, do you really not care about the clan trial?”

“How many years has it been since you’ve only cared about this nonsense? Human cultivation has already changed on a fundamental level.
Your Daosource Sect boasts following the orthodox path, but can you find a peer who can beat me? In the future, I will be invincible throughout the universe! Invincible throughout the ages, and I will gain the power of a Progenitor that will last for immemorial eons!” A tremendous huge voice filled the starry sky.

The old man destroyed the planet and then shouted, “Arrogant! Is the Progenitor realm that easily attained? So it turns out that you still aspire toward the forgotten ages of the Progenitors, but it has long since become impossible for modern humans to match up to the ancient Progenitors.”

“That’s just you!” Progenitor Chen’s clone shouted back angrily as he unleashed a clenched fist at the old man.
This fist was, surprisingly, golden in color.

Bang!

The deafening sound shook the heavens and earth and reverberated across the starry sky as space itself ripped asunder, shattering countless planets.

At that moment, Lu Yin’s eyes snapped open, and he fell down.
This time around, the time in the memory had been very short.

After getting up from the ground, he recalled what he had just experienced; Progenitor Chen had been known as Xia Shang back when he had absorbed the giants’ bloodline.
And for some reason, the Daosource Sect had apparently forbidden him from doing so.
That Daosource Sect should have been the Fifth Mainland’s Daosource Sect.

Progenitor Chen’s clone’s works had been laced with dripping contempt for the Daosource Sect.
He longed to be invincible throughout the ages and had held the ancient Progenitors as his ultimate goal.

However, what were the ancient ancestors? If Lu Yin remembered correctly, there were nine mountains and eight seas that had come from the Fifth Mainland.
However, Progenitor Chen had eventually become a Progenitor himself, and this memory seemed to imply that there had been Progenitors long before him.
On top of that, the old man in the memory had also mentioned that it was impossible for humans to match up to the Progenitors of the ancient, forgotten past.
Could it be that the Progenitor realm of the forgotten ages was somehow on a higher level than what everyone knew of as the modern Progenitor realm?

“These bubbles contain experiences of a Progenitor’s clone’s entire lifetime, and there are some memories that brother Lu should not dwell upon too much.
There are some things that cannot be comprehended before one reaches a high enough level,” Hui Santong’s voice echoed out.

Lu Yin nodded; yes, his realm was not yet high enough to fully comprehend everything here.
There were definitely things that could not be understood, and also things that could not be fathomed.

However, there was one other aspect of the memory to consider, which was the shocking size that Progenitor Chen’s clone had reached! He had actually grown to such a gargantuan size that he had been able to hold a planet and hurl it like a common stone.
Lu Yin turned around and looked across the entirety of Progenitor Chen’s Mausoleum.
If the size that Lu Yin had seen was accurate, then it was entirely possible that the entire tomb had been built atop the corpse of Progenitor Chen’s clone and that they were currently standing atop of that clone’s corpse.

Time was limited, so Lu Yin rushed into another bubble.

Progenitor Chen’s clone followed the path of fighting and killing to grow stronger, and it seemed that his choice to absorb the giants’ bloodline had somehow gone against the Fifth Mainland’s Daosource Sect’s rules.
Thus, he had been condemned by the Daosource Sect.
Even after he became incredibly powerful, he was still treated as an outcast.

Hui Santong stood watch for half a day, and after that, it was Lei Nü’s turn.

For an entire day, Lu Yin continued to race into various bubbles.
90% of them were battle scenes, and it seemed that Progenitor Chen’s clone constantly fought all the time, though he didn’t always kill.

He had been the most brilliant person of his era; even though he had disobeyed the Daosource Sect, he had still climbed to the top step by step.

Lu Yin greatly admired Progenitor Chen, as not everyone had that kind of courage, talent, and determination.
Compared to Progenitor Chen, Lu Yin felt like his life had been too easy.

However, this did not mean that the path that Progenitor Chen had taken was absolutely correct.
Rather, it was just that Progenitor Chen had chosen to take the most difficult path whereas Lu Yin knew how to travel along a slightly more comfortable path.
Still, the destination that they both strove to was the same: the Progenitor realm.

Lu Yin could not help but wonder—just when had Progenitor Chen succeeded in cultivating the technique of splitting into nine clones? Or was this a clone from the beginning? If Lu Yin was looking at the memories of just a clone, then Progenitor Chen’s talent must far exceed what he had initially assumed, as it was impossible to create such an amazing technique at such a young age.
Actually, was it possible that Progenitor Chen had not actually created the Nine Clones Technique?

Lu Yin thought a great deal about this possibility, and the more he viewed Progenitor Chen’s clone’s memories, the more Lu Yin admired the clone.

One time, Lu Yin saw Progenitor Chen’s clone get drunk with a group of friends.
This was the first time Lu Yin saw Progenitor Chen interact with any sort of friends, and it was also the first time he saw the clone get drunk.

These memories painted a tale of Progenitor Chen’s path to invincibility.
If the Daosource Sect had truly wanted to deal with him, then they would have done so from the very beginning.
The underlying reason why they had not done so was because they also valued Progenitor Chen’s talent.
It could almost be said that the more willfully he behaved, the safer and more untouchable he had been.

It was also possible that the Daosource Sect had simply wanted to know if humans were capable of following alternative cultivation methods.

In this particular memory, Progenitor Chen’s clone became extremely drunk, which was an extremely rare occurrence.

Eventually, Lu Yin opened his eyes and fell to the ground.
In the distance away, Lei Nü calmly looked at him.

“It’s my turn,” Lu Yin said as he leaped to the side, not too far away from where Lei Nü was standing.
She then rushed towards a bubble.

Lu Yin fell deep into thought as he unleashed his domain and let it expand it further and further out.
First, he felt lightning.
Then, there was lightning and a Withered Bark.

The lightning shot towards where Lu Yin and the others were, and when that person detected Lu Yin’s domain, they let out a cold snort before unleashing a shocking amount of lightning into the sky that attempted to tear through the domain.

When encountering an unknown person, the foremost priority should always be to get a good idea of who that unknown person was.

The next moment, countless branches spread out.
With how strong Lu Yin’s domain had become, even though he was not entirely confident that he could defeat Unseen Light, and even though he had not reached the level where he could predict his opponents’ attacks yet, Lu Yin was not far off from that level.
His domain was already incredibly powerful.

Numerous branches twined about one another.
The lightning was able to cut through one, two, and even thousands of the branches, but the branches continued to propagate onwards, eventually wrapping around their target.

Ku Lei was not able to easily stabilize himself, and he gasped for air after being entangled rather close to Lu Yin, who looked at Ku Lei with a smile.
“Hello again.”

Ku Lei stared at Lu Yin with scorn despite being completely overpowered.
When Ku Lei had first encountered Lu Yin in the Mountain and Seas Realm, the Ku family’s inheritor had managed to fight against Lu Yin evenly, but currently, Lu Yin was able to crush Ku Lei without even moving.
Lu Yin’s progress was simply too terrifying.

Ku Lei had researched Lu Yin’s accomplishments after returning from the Mountain and Seas Realm, but he was barely able to believe that Lu Yin had reached such a level after only twelve years of cultivating.
However, at this moment, Ku Lei completely believed what he had read; Lu Yin was an absolute monster.

If Lu Yin had been a Hunter during the contest for the Astral Tower in the Mountain and Seas Realm, then the outcome atop the golden stage might have been very different.

Ku Lei was not very happy with Lu Yin, but Ku Lei was also not someone who made a habit of looking for fights.
So, he simply let out a cold grunt and dashed towards a bubble.

Lu Yin’s figure flashed over in front of Ku Lei.
“Wait.”

Ku Lei’s expression grew upset.
“What? Do you want to stop me?”

Lu Yin laughed.
“You really are a prick! You say that, but I’m definitely able to stop you if I want.”

“You!” Ku Lei was infuriated, but he did not speak any further.

Lu Yin continued, saying, “Everyone here agreed that, in order to prevent the Neohuman Alliance from ambushing us, each of us will stand guard for half a day.
You also need to take a turn standing guard, and you’ll go after Xie Xiaoxian.”

Ku Lei grunted affirmatively and then rushed towards a bubble.

Lu Yin looked at Ku Lei’s back and muttered, “Inverted Step.” Lu Yin suddenly remembered the person he had seen within the tablet world named Qian Zou.
He had been an interesting person, and his speed had been quite impressive.

Soon, half a day passed, and other than Ku Lei’s arrival, nothing unusual occurred.

Then, Shu Jing moved over to Lu Yin’s side, as it was his turn to stand guard.

Normally, Lu Yin would not feel comfortable leaving his back open for these people to watch.
However, they had united against the Neohuman Alliance, and the entire universe was united against them; in fact, it was nearly instinct for people to band together against the Neohuman Alliance, and this was the basis of their current cooperation.

Lu Yin rushed into another bubble, and he once again witnessed Progenitor Chen’s clone’s great battles one after another.
He experienced the clone’s battle power in the Explorer realm, the Hunter realm, and once, Lu Yin even experienced a power that he could not comprehend.

Outside of a burst bubble, Xie Xiaoxian fell to the ground.
Half a day had passed, so she moved over towards Shu Jing, but then she shot off.

Shu Jing stared at her, dumbfounded.
“You’re not going to stand watch?”.

Xie Xiaoxian laughed.
“I want to go play somewhere else.
You guys play by yourselves here.”

After speaking, she let out another laugh and vanished in an instant.

Shu Jing was speechless, and he felt like he had just been played.

When he was right about to lose track of Xie Xiaoxian, Shu Jing was unwilling to simply watch her leave despite the fact that he hoped to stay in the Realm of Memories a while longer.
Witnessing Progenitor Chen’s life experiences was too tempting, and it was possible for there to even be memories of him cultivating the Nine Clones Technique.
Still, compared to the value of following Xie Xiaoxian, Shu Jing decided to abandon the place for the moment, especially since he already knew its location.

With this in mind, he raised a hand and unleashed a straight line attack that broke the bubble holding Ku Lei, who instantly fell to the ground and looked over at Shu Jing.

“It’s your turn,” he curtly said before turning around to chase after Xie Xiaoxian.

Ku Lei wanted to respond, but he was too slow to say anything.
Thus, he could only grit his teeth in frustration, not even knowing who to curse.
He had been immersed in a very important memory fragment from Progenitor Chen’s clone that was from the time when the clone had been a Hunter, but his experience had been interrupted.

At this moment, there was a distant figure quickly approaching them.

Ku Lei frowned and grew vigilant.

The person approaching was actually Ku Wei, who had finally arrived after encountering the worms along his way.
Despite the fact that none of the guardian giants had blocked his path, he still had to fight a long series of battles to make it here.

Ku Lei was surprised to see Ku Wei, as Ku Lei had not expected Ku Wei to make it this far into the tomb.
In his anger, Ku Lei clenched a fist.
Not only had this person entered Progenitor Chen’s Mausoleum, but he was also clearly trying to catch up to him, and he was also the only person from the Ku family attempting to do so.
Ku Lei had always looked down on his peers, but despite the vast difference between them, Ku Wei still hoped to catch up, which greatly irritated Ku Lei.

Within the Ku family, Ku Lei had often picked on Ku Wei, but then, Ku Wei had left for the Outerverse.
Recently, he had returned with the Yu family’s entrance slot for Progenitor Chen’s Mausoleum, and Ku Lei was particularly worried about the possibility that Ku Wei might have also received the Yu family’s secret technique.

This thought would not leave Ku Lei, and as he thought about it, he grew more and more upset, until he struck out.
Lightning instantly shot out to viciously strike Kui Wei.

However, the difference between Ku Wei and Ku Lei’s power was too disproportionate; Ku Wei had only recently become a Cruiser whereas Ku Lei was a Hunter.
Even if Lu Yin was the one facing Ku Lei right after becoming a Cruiser, he would still have had a very difficult battle, let alone Ku Wei.
