“Lu Xiaxuan, just what is happening?” Xia Shenji angrily demanded. The four men stared at Lu Yin, waiting for an explanation.1

Lu Yin dropped to the ground and calmly examined the fragments of the scarlet eye. “Aeternus’s Murkiness involves using the droplets of unknown liquid to drain all the stellular energy from the true universe and then release the absorbed energy. The released energies have been tampered with.”0

“You knew about this?” Bai Wangyuan frowned.0

Lu Yin answered expressionlessly, “Aeternus just told me that they would stop Murkiness if I stopped their cosmic door from being destroyed, but-” He stared at the four men. “How could I ever agree to that?”0

Conflicted expressions appeared on four faces. How could Lu Yin have agreed? Even if he had agreed, they would have never agreed.0

The destruction of the giant eye meant that Aeternus could no longer flood the known universe with an endless supply of corpse kings. Their obvious concern for the eyes showed just how important these “cosmic doors” were to the Aeternals. Constructing one could not possibly be easy. Even if they were able to return to the known universe and bring another scarlet eye, the destruction of the eye in the New World was still a terrible loss for Aeternus.0

How could they ever abandon such an opportunity just to save the Forsaken Land?0

Only a short bit of time had passed since Murkiness had been activated, and no one could say just how far this would go...0
