If they were involved in a battle of Yu Jin's level, and if Yu Jin had no intention of saving them, they would not be able to escape even if they wanted to.
When Yu Jin came to his senses, he saw Alex and the others retreating. He pressed his hand down and said, "They have come out to see us. Wouldn't it be a shame if we don't go and meet them?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone felt the pressure on them suddenly increase, and they continued to fall from the sky.
"what--"
Bayeta's screams suddenly resounded through the sky. The tone was so sharp and the volume was so high that it could only be said that she was worthy of being a daughter.
Yu Jin scratched his ears. Why didn’t she scream so loudly in the previous times?
The speed of falling was much faster than the speed of ascending. Soon, amid Bayeta's continuous screams, everyone landed next to Yousui.
A gentle and huge force emerged from nowhere, dragging up Alex and the others who had fallen. Stepping on this space was as stable as stepping on the ground.
"Cough... cough cough!" Bayeta stopped and bent down, coughing heavily a few times. She didn't feel anything when she was shouting just now, but now that she stopped, she only felt a burning pain in her throat.
"Why didn't I see you screaming so loudly before?" Yu Jin walked over and patted Bayeta on the back, but he didn't know whether this was effective or not. Anyway, Yu Jin just learned it from others.
"Before... I didn't even have time to scream." Bayeta wiped the tears from his coughing from the corners of his eyes and said breathlessly.
Yu Jin paused while patting his back. It turned out that he was too weak before and got hit before he had any time to react.
"Hey! What the hell is this thing?" Alex slowly approached behind Yu Jin, pointed at You Shen not far away, and said in a low voice.
Youshen did not make any moves from the time he appeared until they landed. Coupled with his bloody and dark appearance, the invisible pressure he exuded made Alex's forehead begin to sweat.
"Him?" Yu Jin looked up at You Shen, and the latter looked at him.
Through the armor, Yu Jin saw a mass of squirming mud inside. The mud clung to the inner wall of the armor and controlled the body.
While Yu Jin was observing You Shen, You Shen was also observing Yu Jin. However, just like the previous peeping, You Shen only saw a suit of armor standing in front of him.
Other than that, he saw nothing.
Yu Jin muttered to himself, "How ugly." Then he looked at Durin seriously and said, "A life that was not allowed to be born. If you really think of yourself like this, then look at him."
As he spoke, Yu Jin came to Youshen's side. He looked at Du Lin and said, "How do your despair, your madness, and the taboos you believe in compare to his?"
Hearing this, Yousui turned around and rolled his eyes at Yujin. What kind of comfort is this? Comparing a more miserable person with a more miserable person?
Then tell him: Look! There is someone worse off than you, so stop complaining.
This doesn't solve any problems at all! If Yousui, the "more miserable" person, didn't care about these things, he would have fought with Yujin to the death.
But you know what, this method of comfort is surprisingly effective, especially for a dragon like Durin who is immature and self-pitying.
Du Lin recalled the scene he had seen before, the darkness beneath the earth, the wriggling human figures in the depths, all kinds of horrifying scenes echoed in his mind like slides.
But now they are all gone, all the horror has been condensed and finally gathered into what is before our eyes.
Involuntarily, Du Lin took a step back, shook his head, looked at Yu Jin and said, "Brother Yu Jin, my head is so swollen now."
"Fear..., despair..., taboo..., what is it? What am I?" Du Lin thought he was special enough, but he didn't expect that someone even more special would appear now.
There are abysses beneath abysses, and taboos within taboos. Layers upon layers are nested, seemingly endless.
This made Du Lin fall into deep doubt. Since its birth, everything about it has been telling him that it is different from others.
Its mother gave it the most fervent praise. But now, this specialness is gone.
In addition to doubts, Du Lin also had a secret joy in his heart that he himself had not discovered. But it was because he knew that he was not the only one, and there were more taboo beings walking in the world.
"Despair, fear, taboo, this is because you know too little and your power is too weak."
"As long as you know more and have more, taboos will become commonplace. Isn't that the case with your mother?" Yu Jin looked at Durin. The power from the abyss shaped Durin's body.
"And you, Dulin, in my eyes, you are just a baby dragon with a thin shell of thorns, nothing more."
After hearing what Yu Jin said, Du Lin's heart unexpectedly calmed down. He knew very well that even if he was the same as he was five hundred years ago, he would not be a match for him.
Perhaps, in Yu Jin's eyes, he is really just a baby dragon. Du Lin looked at Yu Jin with some complex feelings. He was probably the only one in the world who saw him this way.
As for his mother? Du Lin could only try not to think in a bad way.
"As for Him? Let Him explain it himself." Yu Jin thought of Durin's last question. He took a step back and made room for Youshen.
Upon hearing this, everyone stared at Yousui intently. The reason why a taboo is a taboo is because it is deadly enough and fascinating enough.
"Me?" A hoarse voice completely different from the one coming from the embers came from under the deep visor.
If the sound of the embers is like a young man who is always striving forward, then the deep voice is like the chorus of countless people's whispers.
Blurred and unclear source.
Yousui made a move for the first time. He took a step forward, raised his hand, and scanned everyone in turn. Then he slowly said:
"I am you."
The familiar squirming sound and wet feeling enveloped him again. Youshen stretched out his arm, and gradually three distorted faces condensed.
They are Alex, Bayeta, and Dulin.

"This is you, and I am you." The twisted face that was wriggling on Youshen's arm only existed for a moment before disappearing.
The things in Him are like an epidemic that will continue to spread and expand, distorting people's minds and changing their appearance.
So for ordinary people, it is better to look at the things on Yousui as little as possible.
"Just now... what was that?" Du Lin's gaze seemed to be welded to Youshen. He just saw another self.
The dragon face was exactly the same as it, but it seemed to have fallen into some kind of madness and despair. The entire face was extremely distorted, and it was completely different from Durin's original appearance.
"Some... bad things." Youshen responded to Du Lin's gaze. He pondered for a moment and then gave this vague explanation.
"Bad things?" Du Lin was recalling the scene just now, and the distorted self in his mind appeared again.
Every time Du Lin looked into its eyes, he could always feel a chill lingering in the depths of his heart.
It comes from oneself, it is oneself, and it can replace oneself!
"Huh, thank you...thank you." Du Lin seemed to understand why he was able to stay awake. He looked at Youshen, then at Yujin, and thanked them.
"Haha, it's still a little too early to thank you." A hoarse laugh came out of Yousui's mouth, like sharp nails scratching on marble, which made people shiver.
After laughing, Yousui opened his palm again. A cloud of tangled black and red smoke rose from his hand.
The remaining resentment is the lighter part of human nature. Therefore, it can be transformed into smoke and escape from the darkness formed by the heavy things of human nature.
"This is what you caused. They also want to go outside and take a look like you." Yousui said, sending the black smoke forward.
The smoke was rolling, and the faces of people were interweaving and disappearing in it. They were staring at Du Lin, and they wanted to replace Du Lin.
"Yes..., I'm sorry!" Du Lin just glanced at the black and red smoke and lowered his head. He didn't dare to look at those faces. Looking at them, Du Lin remembered his previous self.
Du Lin didn't want to think about how much despair the beauty in its eyes had created, nor did he dare to think about it.
The anger and resentment on those people's faces crossed his line of sight and turned into sharp thorns that constantly pricked Du Lin's heart.
Seeing that Du Lin was about to curl up into a ball again, Yu Jin stretched out his hand and the ball of black smoke fell into his hand.
"Since you feel guilty, why don't you try to make amends?"
"How can I make up for it? I can't do anything and I know nothing." After hearing Yu Jin's words, Du Lin's body relaxed, but there was still a frustrated look on his face.
Since its birth, Durin has had almost no time that truly belongs to him. Except for the moment when he was on the verge of death five hundred years ago, the time he spent with the embers was the only time he was truly awake.
Before, it was in a state of confusion. Although Du Lin always mentioned "mother", Rhinedot was just a blurry shadow in its memory.
That group of light and shadow called Durin out of darkness and loneliness, and gave it the initial warmth and love. Therefore, Durin had an extraordinary dependence on Rhinedort.
Now that Du Lin has woken up, he is like a child. He can stand up, but his eyes are blindfolded.
I don't want to move forward because it has brought disasters before; I don't dare to move forward because I know nothing about the road ahead.
"They should have seen more, but because of you, their journey ended here."
"You are a dragon. Your body is large enough to carry the eyes of countless people. You fly high enough to allow them to see the scenery that they would not otherwise be able to see."
"So, take them and fly, and leave the rest to us." As he spoke, Yu Jin looked at Alex and Bayeta.
"Look...why are you looking at me?" Bayeta took a step back inconspicuously. The talent she was so proud of was almost destroyed.
Bayeta now knew that she could not figure out anything. Youshen's various performances were beyond her understanding.
If he really wanted to study His words, he would probably have to start over with everything he had learned, which was something Bayeta was unwilling to do.
"It shouldn't just be machinery this time." Alex touched his chin. Yu Jin spent so much effort on this, it shouldn't be that simple.
Moreover, if a mechanical body were really to be forged, there would be no place for the smoke in Yu Jin's hand to go.
"That's right." Yu Jin nodded, and then the resentment in his hand gradually stopped surging. The distorted face also became peaceful.
"They want to see the world again. Du Lin also wants to see this world." Yu Jin took a deep breath, then smiled and said to Bayeta:
"So why not give it a try and bring them along as well? This is what Du Lin should do, and it's also an opportunity for you to study and surpass yourself."
Ember looked at Alex again and added, "Of course, you too."
……
Bayeta and Alex took Du Lin away, and only Yu Jin and You Shen were left in the entire space.
"You are really troublesome." The gloomy version of the embers suddenly dissolved, and a pool of black mud suddenly appeared out of thin air in the void.
"It's not a big deal. I can't do everything for you. If you want to atone for your sins, then go and do it. It's better to do it than to say it."
Yu Jin pretended to yawn and looked at the direction where Du Lin was going with some relief. Du Lin was a good boy, and he was the first one to reflect so deeply on his sins since Yu Jin came to this world.
For a guy like this who has a good attitude of admitting his guilt and actively wants to make amends for his mistakes, Yu Jin will naturally create conditions for him to atone for his sins.
"A life that is not allowed to be born? Haha, you are so bold to say that." Yousui also looked in the direction where Du Lin left, as if he sneered at this statement.
"Yes, it should be born. Stopping it will only bring greater disaster." Upon hearing this, Yu Jin nodded in agreement.
The glory of fire will eventually go out. Passing on fire can certainly allow the era of fire to continue, but the deep sea era that should have come will also be constantly pushed forward. In the end, the world begins to distort.
The era that is said to belong to humans will eventually distort humans.
"So, weren't you born?" Yu Jin looked at You Shen and smiled.
"This is called birth?" Youshen expressed that he didn't want to talk to Yujin, and gave him a blank look as if he couldn't see his eyes at all.
