saint of humanity

The news spread quickly after Lu Ye Gang used the Ghost Sedan Chair and several other treasures to extinguish the corrosive power and avert a potential calamity.

Cultivators have their own circles, and so do supreme treasures; there are many connections between them.

Lu Ye's methods naturally pleased many treasures.

So not long after the last time, several precious treasures came to Taichu Wutong, hoping to ask Lu Ye for help.

Taichu Wutong had also mentioned it to him.

But Lu Ye didn't have the time, so the matter was put on hold.

Tai Chu Wutong slowly spoke up: "Recently, perhaps due to the fusion of the Origin Realm, the corrosive power of the Star Abyss aura seems to have increased, especially for our precious treasures."

The Primordial Wutong Tree itself is a supreme treasure. It was almost completely slumbered due to erosion, so it naturally has a deep understanding of this.

On the contrary, Lu Ye, because he had the Talent Tree by his side, could resist the corrosive power and did not feel much.

He looked at the Primordial Wutong tree with a questioning gaze, wondering what the old tree meant by suddenly bringing this up.

Taichu Wutong gave him a deep look and then said, "Because of this change, my old friends... are all quite anxious and have been urging me to do this recently."

Lu Ye blinked, then a thought struck him: "This junior understands."

Although it was because they were both treasures, and perhaps because of their long-standing friendship, Tai Chu Wu Tong couldn't be too explicit in his words. But Lu Ye wasn't stupid. Having received such guidance, how could he not understand Tai Chu Wu Tong's meaning?
“Then I’ll call them over right now!” Tai Chu Wu Tong nodded slightly.

With a slight raise of his hand, ripples spread across the void before him.

Immediately afterwards, a sedan chair appeared from the void.

It was none other than the Ghost Carriage!

"Fellow Daoist Lu, we meet again." The ghost sedan chair appeared and transmitted its voice.

Lu Ye looked behind it, but it was completely empty, with no other treasures in sight. He couldn't help but wonder, "Senior, has something gone wrong again?"

That doesn't make sense. Although he didn't completely destroy all the corrosive power of the ghost sedan last time, it shouldn't cause any problems for at least several thousand or tens of thousands of years.

So he couldn't figure out why the ghost sedan chair had come back.

"Of course not, I'm just bringing some friends over," the ghost sedan replied.

Lu Ye immediately looked at its bright red sedan chair, and upon closer inspection, he realized that there were many complex auras inside.

His eyebrows immediately rose.

He chuckled inwardly. These treasures were indeed quite cautious. Despite the precedent of having treasures like the Ghost Carriage before them, they were clearly still on guard. So they specially had the Ghost Carriage deliver them. In this way, if Lu Ye had any unusual or malicious intentions, he could use the Ghost Carriage's ability to travel through the void to quickly escape.

Unfortunately, these treasures are thinking too simply. If Lu Ye really has any evil intentions, even a ghost sedan chair wouldn't be able to escape from this Phoenix Nest.

This is the territory of the Primordial Wutong Tree; sealing off the heavens and locking the earth is a piece of cake for it.

"Then please show yourselves," Lu Ye gestured.

The ghost sedan chair remained silent, but the blood-red curtain was slightly lifted, and in an instant, the complex aura became clearer. However, Lu Ye waited for a while, but no treasure appeared. Instead, a series of chattering sounds suddenly came from inside the ghost sedan chair, and it was unknown what kind of dispute had arisen among the many treasures.

"Ouch..." Accompanied by a scream, a gourd-shaped jade pendant suddenly flew out of the ghost sedan chair, as if it had been pushed out from inside.

Lu Ye didn't recognize what kind of treasure this was, nor did he know what mysterious power it possessed. He would only know after refining it.

After the gourd-shaped jade pendant emerged from the ghost sedan chair, it seemed to want to fly back, but a flash of light inside the sedan chair blocked it again, making the gourd-shaped jade pendant cry out in anger, "You've gone too far!"

The voice was surprisingly that of a child.

Lu Ye frowned slightly and said softly, "Everyone, I don't have much time, and I don't have time to linger here!"

In the past, Lu Ye wouldn't have minded being so cautious with these treasures. After all, these treasures had existed for countless millennia and must have been targeted by some cultivators in their lifetime. It was normal for them to be wary of cultivators. But now, time was running out, and he had to deal with the matter at hand as soon as possible.

Seeing his displeasure, Guijiao hurriedly spoke up: "Alright, stop fooling around. Since you've come here, you must have something to ask for. This isn't the attitude of asking for help!"

As they spoke, the sedan chair shuddered, and instantly a dazzling array of multicolored light burst forth.

Lu Ye initially remained calm, but gradually, his eyebrows rose.

The reason is that the number of treasures brought by the ghost sedan this time seems to be quite large, about twenty or thirty pieces, with treasures of various shapes.

After these treasures were shaken out by the ghost sedan chair, they lined up in front of Lu Ye. One of them suddenly said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lu."

Immediately afterwards, numerous precious treasures came to pay their respects.

Lu Ye suppressed his surprise and nodded slightly, saying, "To make a long story short, since you are all friends of Elder Tree, you are naturally my seniors as well. Since you were brought by Senior Ghost Carriage, you must have heard about what happened last time."

One of the treasures, shaped like a jade ruyi, said, "Fellow Daoist Lu is right."

Only after hearing its voice did Lu Ye realize that this was the first person to speak earlier.

"Now that you know about my previous transaction with Senior Ghost Carriage and the others, you must all be prepared," Lu Ye continued. "However, the situation is different now. I have a new proposal. Please listen, and whether you are willing to accept it is entirely up to you!"

Upon hearing this, the treasures were all somewhat in an uproar.

When Lu Ye burned away the corrosive power of the Ghost Sedan Chair and other treasures last time, he extracted a portion of the mystery from each of them. This is the content of the transaction.

Such extraction does not damage the essence of the Ghost Carriage and other treasures, but it can avoid the risk of them being completely eroded, so it is acceptable.

Lu Ye's latest proposal naturally made the treasures uneasy, but since they accepted it voluntarily, there was no harm in listening to it.

"You all should have heard about the current situation of Xingyuan, even if you are all treasures. The fusion of the Origin Realm is imminent, and the consciousness of Yuan has become very clear. Once the Origin Realm merges into Xingyuan, that will be the time when Yuan is completely awakened. Even when it was in a daze, it spread the aura of Xingyuan and eroded all things in the universe. Once it is awakened, it will definitely spare no effort. To be honest, Yuan's intention is nothing more than to completely erode this universe and thus take control of it."

Even if Lu Ye didn't say anything, the treasures would have guessed it, because this is how the situation has developed for countless years throughout history.

But none of the treasures, or rather all the beings in the entire Star Abyss, knew that the Abyss's intention in eroding and controlling the universe was simply to let the chaos devour it.

Because the birth of Yuan itself was a seed left behind by chaos when the universe was still in its primordial state.

This was a trick that the Chaos Beast often used to devour the universe, but it was just that the Dragon and Phoenix Ancestors happened to see it through, so they left behind a hidden countermeasure.

“Right now, Yuan is using many half-saints as henchmen and puppets to wipe out all forces of resistance in this world. Once Yuan’s methods succeed, even if you all survive the current crisis, you will have no safety in the future.” As Lu Ye spoke, he looked around. “You are all treasures, born at the beginning of the universe or in various star systems. Since you are not made of flesh and blood, you have no worries about lifespan. Therefore, if the current crisis is not resolved, you will never have peace in the future… You don’t want to end up like those of your companions who were completely corrupted, do you? I believe that you have seen what happened to those companions in the end over the years.”

A moment of silence.

The jade ruyi slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, what should we do?"

Lu Ye gave him an approving look, then raised his arm and shouted, "We will resist to the end! We would rather die than live in dishonor!"

"Please enlighten me, fellow Daoist!"

Lu Ye said, “The enemy is currently very powerful, but we are not without a chance. The Dragon Clan has the Ancestral Abyss Restriction. When the Dragon Clan’s strongest members are about to reach their limit due to corruption, they will seal themselves inside to survive the calamity. Just recently, I brought these strongest members out of that restriction. Among them are the Dragon Venerables of all generations, whom you may have all heard of, as well as the Dragon Clan Elders of all generations. Given the current situation, they will sooner or later become half-saints. I will not mention the many Dragon Venerables for now. They all had supreme treasures with them when they were in power, but most of the elders do not. Therefore, I would like to earnestly request that you all fight alongside them in the days to come and lend them a helping hand!”

At this point, the treasures finally understood Lu Ye's intention.

That's why Lu Ye rushed over.

Since those treasures and spoils might pose hidden dangers, then we don't need them. This world isn't just about those treasures; there's also a batch like the one before us.

But what we see here is definitely not all; there must be much more hidden in the shadows.

It is indeed not easy for cultivators to subdue and refine supreme treasures, but if the supreme treasure itself is willing to cooperate, then it's a different story. At that time, each of those dragon race half-saints will have a supreme treasure that still has sentience, and their strength will definitely be greatly enhanced.

"Is this considered a condition of the deal?" Yu Ruyi asked.

Lu Ye waved his hand and said, "As I said before, the choice is entirely up to you. If you are unwilling to assist the Dragon Clan, then we will proceed according to the previous deal."

He won't lose out no matter what.

"However, I have one more thing to say to you all. In the current situation, we are all in a bind. Within the entire Star Abyss, the Dragon and Phoenix clans are the greatest force against the Abyss. If the Dragon and Phoenix clans are destroyed one day, then no one in this world will be able to resist the Abyss's control over the entire universe. At that time, whether you are cultivators or your treasures, you will all be nothing more than puppets and playthings of the Abyss. That's all I have to say. You may decide your own fate."

After saying that, Lu Ye waited quietly.

He believed that these treasures, unless they were fools, would make the right choice. Moreover, Elder Tree had previously given them some guidance; with the fusion of the Origin Realm, the corrosive force was increasing, and the treasures, having deeply felt it, naturally understood the danger.
