His luck wasn't as good this time, and he rolled five points: Borrowing Innate Gift. This point was the most useless to him, as he couldn't roll it in front of others. The time limit for borrowing an innate gift was too long, and there were very few people who could touch someone with an innate gift within ten seconds.
He had wasted one chance, but he still had two more. Lu Yin sighed and continued shaking his head.
While Lu Yin was trapped in the Technocracy, in the Innerverse, Nightking Zhenwu walked out of the Sword Sect with a faint smile on his face. Starsibyl was by his side.
"Congratulations, Liu Tianmu has agreed." Starsibyl smiled.
Nightking Zhenwu was in a good mood. Of the Ten Arbiters, Liu Tianmu was the most difficult to get along with, but she was also the most powerful. If she had not agreed, it would have been impossible for Nightking Zhenwu to become the head of the Ten Arbiters. Fortunately, Starsibyl had helped him and used a special method to get Liu Tianmu to agree.
He looked at Starsibyl. "Only Xing Kai, Lan Si, Wine Tycoon, and Si He are left."
Starsibyl confidently replied, "There's no need to look for Xing Kai. He's already surpassed the age limit of the younger generation, and whoever becomes the leader of the Ten Arbiters has nothing to do with him."
"But he won't back down so easily," Nightking Zhenwu replied.
Starsibyl smiled. "That's under the premise that the other Arbiters don't care. If the other Arbiters express their stance, then he will have no choice but to retreat."
"It's impossible for them to express their stance. Everyone's almost at the critical point, including myself. No one wants to withdraw from the Ten Arbiters Council just because of their age. Xing Kai is the first person to exceed the age limit as one of the Ten Arbiters. Now, we'll have to see how we handle this. If we don't handle it well, then the other Ten Arbiters might resent us," Nightking Zhenwu said.
"That has nothing to do with you. Just make sure that Xing Kai doesn't oppose you this time," Starsibyl said.
Nightking Zhenwu's gaze trembled. "Lan Si is in the Outerverse, so there's no need to worry about him. The only ones left are Winespiper and Curly Lotus. Winespiper doesn't matter, but that woman is always drunk and doesn't know anything. She doesn't object to anything either. Only Curly Lotus is more troublesome."
When Xu He was mentioned, even Starsibyl became cautious. "That person is very frightening, and it's as if he's hiding himself too deeply. No one knows what he's thinking, but I have a handle on him that can guarantee that he'll agree to you becoming the head of the Ten Arbiters."
Nightking Zhenwu glanced at Starsibyl, as his heart was filled with dread towards this woman.
All of the Ten Arbiters had agreed to let Lu Yin become the head of the Ten Arbiters, and most of the credit went to this woman. She knew too many things, and since she knew about other people's matters, did she also know about Lu Yin's matters?
Thinking of this, he subconsciously touched his heart, then walked forward without a care.
Starsibyl had a faint smile on her face the entire time, and she followed behind Nightking Zhenwu as if she was truly submitting to him.
Not long after Lu Yin left the Sword Sect, he received a message from his personal terminal. He glanced at it, and his face lit up with joy. "The Star Tower is about to open, and it'll only take about a year or so."
Starsibyl looked up. "Congratulations, everything is progressing in your favor. If everything goes well, you will become one of the Five Astral Children, and one of the other Ten Arbiters might become one as well. At that time, we'll welcome the return of the Third Nightking, and the Daynight clan will become the greatest power in the entire Innerverse. We'll be able to look down on the Neoverse."
Nightking Zhenwu was ecstatic. Not only that, but he would also obtain the Night's End, Daybreak, which would double his strength. Coupled with the Arrow Progenitor's inheritance, no one in the younger generation would be his match. Once he became an Enlighter, he would be able to sweep through the Daosource Three Skies.
Advancing from the Hunter realm to the Enlighter realm was different from cultivating before. The deeper one's foundation as a Hunter, the stronger one would be when they became an Enlighter. Nightking Zhenwu was confident that if everything went well, he would be able to fight against a powerhouse with a power level of 400,000 once he became an Enlighter. Let alone the younger generation, even the older generation would be shocked. That would be the moment when Nightking Zhenwu would truly reign supreme over the universe.
Once Nightking Zhenwu received the news, the others naturally received it as well.
The Ten Arbiters, Xia Tian, Tai Yuanjun, and the other Kings, as well as Qiu Shi and Gu Xiaoer from the Neoverse, received the news as well.
The competition for the Star Tower inheritance was one of the greatest events in the Neoverse. At that time, the five strongest people in the entire Human Domain would be determined, and they would obtain the Progenitor's inheritance.
In the Sword Sect, Liu Tianmu's expression was calm, but her eyes burned with passion. She wondered who would be able to withstand the Twelfth Sword in the competition for the Star Tower inheritance, and she was looking forward to it.
In the Lingling clan, Ling Que had already returned, but he had been punished by Ling Gong. He looked sullen.
"I didn't do anything wrong. Why can't I run when I run into one of the Daosource Three Skies?" Ling Que was dissatisfied.
Ling Gong walked out. "Lu Yin didn't run, so why did you run? You disgrace."
Ling Que bared his teeth. "How can I compare to him?
He's a freak. During the battle at the Cosmic Sea, no one besides him was able to harm Zhiyi. You can't either. It's a pity that he was played to death by Nightking Zhenwu, and even his reputation has been tarnished. "
Ling Gong had a complicated look in her eyes. She would never believe that Lu Yin had colluded with Zhiyi, but the universe was cruel. Without any evidence, Nightking Zhenwu could use the Daynight clan's influence to smear Lu Yin's reputation. If not for Leon's Armada, the Astral Combat Academy, and the Lockbreaker Society restraining him, Lu Yin's reputation would have been ruined, and he might have gone down in history as an infamous figure. However, things were not much better now. At the very least, the entire Daynight Flowzone was cursing him, as was the Blazing Mist Flowzone.
However, that was Nightking Zhenwu's business, and she could not control it. At most, she could prevent the Lingling clan from participating.
When she thought about Lu Yin, she felt that it was a pity. That person's innate gift was too high, so high that it was terrifying. If he had continued to grow, he would have definitely been one of the Ten Arbiters. In the future, he might have even surpassed them and become the leader of the Human Domain's younger generation.
There was a ding, and Ling Gong looked at her gadget. Her eyes lit up, as the contest for the Star Tower was about to begin.
Ling Gong tossed aside all distracting thoughts. She needed to go into seclusion to obtain the Star Tower inheritance and become one of the Five Astral Children.
As for Ling Que, she completely ignored him.
At a certain pirate port in the Innerverse, following the Sixth Mainland's retreat, the place became lively again, but it was much less lively than before. Even the pirates lamented the deaths of many of their acquaintances, and they cursed loudly after drinking.
Even if they did not understand the Sixth Mainland or the Fifth Mainland, they could still curse along.
"Sooner or later, we'll invade the Sixth Mainland and slaughter those bastards!" someone shouted, and the rest cheered.
Among them, a woman cheered the loudest. She raised her glass and said, "Sooner or later, I'll drink all of the Sixth Mainland's wine!" Another round of cheers rang out.
The woman's eyes were hazy with drunkenness, but she was very excited.
After a while, a few pirates sneakily approached the woman and placed their arms around her shoulders. "Little girl, do you want to drink?
Do you want to follow me to my spacecraft? My spacecraft has plenty of good wine, and I stole it all from the Sixth Mainland. "
The woman's eyes lit up, and she exhaled a breath of alcohol that condensed into wine droplets in the air before being swallowed by the woman. "Is there really wine from the Sixth Mainland?"
The pirates were delighted. "Of course! As long as you follow me, you can drink as much as you want."
The woman smiled and staggered to her feet. She burped, and her face was flushed red. "You said it yourself. If there's no wine, then I'll squeeze you dry."
The pirates laughed. "Brother likes to be squeezed dry. Let's go and drink."
"Drink!" the rest of the pirates cheered.
Many of them felt that it was a pity that they were too late.
Not long after, the woman was brought to a dilapidated spacecraft by a few pirates. Her surroundings were in a mess.
"Where's the wine?" The woman staggered as she leaned against the wall and looked at the pirates in a daze.
The pirates impatiently took off their clothes. "Where the f * ck did you get wine from? Hurry up and play with us. Once you're done, I'll buy more for you."
The woman was confused, and her face turned red. "No … no wine?"
"Shut the f * ck up and play with us." The pirate grabbed the woman and was about to force her to the ground. The woman pouted. "I thought that you bastards would be lucky enough to get some good wine. Since it's fake, then I'll squeeze you dry."
"Haha, Brother, this woman wants to squeeze you dry. Come on," the surrounding pirates jeered.
The woman burped, and her eyes suddenly turned cold. An indescribably strange atmosphere descended, and the bodies of the pirates suddenly froze. Soon after, the leader's body shriveled up. First, it was his hands, then his legs. The process was very slow, but it could not be stopped. He was gradually turning to ash.
The leader's face turned pale as he stared in horror at his hands that had turned to ash. Then, his entire body crashed to the ground, and his legs were gone. "Help! Help! Help! Help!"
The surrounding pirates were so frightened that they fell to the ground and looked at the woman in horror.
The woman burped again. "I said I'd squeeze you dry, hehe."
"Run!" one of the pirates shouted and tried to escape, but his legs suddenly turned to ash as well. Half of his body smashed into the wall, and the other pirates did not dare to move. They could only watch as their bodies shriveled up and then disappeared.
Not long after, the woman staggered out of the ship, her face still red. Many of the pirates were envious, but no one knew what had happened inside the ship. If they did, they would have fled long ago.
"A bunch of trash. Leon's Armada isn't anything good. Pirates aren't anything good," the woman said drunkenly. No one knew what she said, but she staggered off into the distance. Suddenly, her gadget rang. The woman glanced at it and was shocked. "The Star Tower Contest is about to begin?
There's still about a year left. Hehe, I can still drink for a year. In a year … "The woman paused for a moment, then cheered loudly," I'm going to the Neoverse to drink! "She then disappeared.
This scene shook the pirate port, and all the pirates knew that this woman was not simple. As for the pirates who had taken her away, their whereabouts were unknown.
…
Because the Star Tower was about to open in the Innerverse, it caused a stir in many circles, and it was the same in the Neoverse.
In the unfamiliar starry sky, a towering mountain slowly floated around dozens of stars. Flames burned at the very top, and from a distance, they looked like cigarette butts that would be extinguished every few seconds. Then, they would burn again, filling the sky with smoke. This was Smoke Gulp Mountain, one of the Neoverse's powers.
Within Smoke Gulp Mountain, Gu Xiao 'er had a miserable expression. "What does this have to do with me? I tried my best, but even that woman Qiushi couldn't get the stage. Dad, you're too unreasonable."
"Bastard, you still dare to quibble? It's all because you're useless. Smoke Gulp Mountain's smoke is invincible. From today onwards, you'll smoke until you can turn into smoke."
"Smoking is harmful to your health."
"Shut up. I haven't settled the score with you for losing the Sirius Gong."
"I already said that it was stolen."
"No one can steal from Smoke Gulp Mountain. If you're itching for a beating, I'll beat you to death."
"Save me!"
"Eh, the Star Tower Contest is about to begin?
Xiao 'er, come, I'll give you some special treatment. "
"Save me!"
…
