Master Yuan thought about it. "It won't take long. It depends on the rate of the energy decline. At the current rate, it might take a few years, but the decline is accelerating. Perhaps it will connect within a year."
"When will the competition for the Five Scions of the Stars begin?" Lu Yin hurriedly asked.
Master Yuan shook his head. "I'm not sure."
Lu Yin's eyes flickered as he looked into the distance. If the competition for the Five Scions of the Stars took place before the Innerverse and Outerverse were connected, then it would be too late.
Besides, dealing with Nightking Zhenwu would not be easy. This was not something that could be solved by just two people fighting, as there were too many factors involved. Even if Lu Yin had the ability to defeat Nightking Zhenwu, would the Daynight clan allow him to succeed so easily?
Would those who supported Nightking Zhenwu allow him to succeed?
This was not even considering the fact that Nightking Zhenwu was about to become one of the Five Scions of the Stars, which meant that there were new powers that supported him.
At that time, half of the Innerverse might be affected, and it might even affect the Cosmic Sea and the Neoverse. Dealing with Nightking Zhenwu would require time to plan, but would there be enough time?
If there was enough time, then Lu Yin would naturally be able to deal with Nightking Zhenwu. If there was not enough time, then he would have to think of a way to prevent Nightking Zhenwu from dealing with him and use Master Yuan to redeem his image.
He believed that Nightking Zhenwu would do what he said. Perhaps at this moment, many people in the Innerverse viewed Lu Yin as a traitor to the Human Domain.
Master Yuan took out an item and handed it to Lu Yin. Lu Yin looked at it and was stunned. He only regained his senses after Master Yuan's reminder.
This was Progenitor Wushang's hide, which he had lent to Master Yuan to deal with the Tong family's Ancestor and Ancestor Eyeless. Now, Master Yuan had returned it.
Progenitor Wushang's hide was the first Progenitor item that Lu Yin had obtained, and it was so large that it had been of great use.
"Without this hide, the outcome of the battle in the astral graveyard would have been uncertain. It's a pity that the arrow was destroyed," Master Yuan lamented.
Lu Yin replied, "It's good that it's useful. It's all thanks to Master Yuan that the Outerverse was able to survive."
Master Yuan sighed. "An item from the Progenitor realm is enough to change the course of a war. You and the Progenitor realm are fated to meet, so treasure it well." He paused for a moment before continuing, "During the battle in the astral graveyard, your contributions were illustrious, and in addition to your own contributions to the alliance, the Hall of Honor will not treat you unfairly."
Lu Yin was excited. Could it be that he was going to give Walnut and the five stalks again?
However, these two super useful items were already gone.
Perhaps Master Yuan had guessed what Lu Yin was thinking, and he shook his head bitterly. "I originally wanted to compensate you with some power vessels, but my body was injured during the battle in the astral graveyard, and I still haven't recovered. It won't be easy for me to create powerful power vessels, so I'll have to wait for a while. I heard that you're in need of resources, so I've already instructed Big Drum to allocate some resources for your cultivation. At the same time, I've also increased your Honor Points to twenty."
"You've managed this war well, and the Hall of Honor has officially bestowed upon you the position of commander of the Outerverse Allied Forces. I hope that you will cherish it."
Although it was a pity that he hadn't been able to obtain a life-saving item, he believed that Master Yuanshi would give it to him once he recovered. The other rewards were quite good as well. Not to mention the Outerverse Allied Forces Commander, his Honor Points had been raised to 20. If he remembered correctly, with 20 Honor Points, he wouldn't be killed even if he betrayed the human race. At most, he would be imprisoned, just like Shui Chuanxiao.
As for the allocation of resources, the word allocation was a bit interesting, and he was looking forward to it.
Master Yuanshi's body was severely injured, and Lu Yin did not chat much with him. He had just left when he bumped into Elder Dagu.
Elder Dagu looked at Lu Yin in admiration, "How did you come back?
The Allied Forces have been keeping an eye on the Astral River, and it shows no signs of being torn apart. "
Lu Yin was pleased with himself. "I obtained a star map that allows me to travel from the Technocracy to the Outerverse."
Elder Dagu was shocked. "There's such a place?"
Lu Yin nodded. "Endless Borders gave it to me."
"No wonder," Elder Dagu said.
Lu Yin continued, "It's a pity that the route has evolved, and anyone below a power level of 400,000 won't be able to pass through it. Furthermore, the further you go, the more difficult it becomes."
"Then how did you pass through it?" Elder Dagu did not believe Lu Yin, as he felt that Lu Yin was just bragging.
Lu Yin raised his head. "I killed two Imprinter."
Elder Dagu was stunned, but then he recalled that during the battle in the astral graveyard, this person had indeed killed two Imprinter and turned the tide of the battle. Elder Dagu looked at Lu Yin with an even stranger gaze. Throughout history, there had never been a Cruiser who had been able to do what Lu Yin had done.
Lu Yin admired Elder Dagu's gaze. It seemed that his current status had surpassed this person's.
"Ahem, Elder Dagu, how's the southern border defense line?
Should I go and take a look? "Lu Yin asked, feeling that he had a responsibility to do so.
Elder Dagu was stunned, but then he remembered that this person was now the commander of the Outerverse Allied Forces. Although he only had special privileges during wartime, the border defense line was always at war, which was disgusting.
"If you want to go, then go," Elder Dagu said.
Lu Yin smiled. "I'm not going now. Right, Master Yuan said that he would give me some resources as a reward. How much are they?"
Elder Dagu's mouth twitched. "How much do you want?"
Lu Yin's eyes gleamed.
Elder Dagu felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that this person loved money as much as his own life, and that he was the type who would even do business on the battlefield. If possible, Elder Dagu would rather do business with this person and get what he paid for. However, during the battle in the astral graveyard, this person had selflessly contributed pills, and his contributions had been too great. Elder Dagu was deeply favored by Master Yuan, and he could not refuse this reward. However, he did not want to give too much either, so he could only let Lu Yin speak on his own and hope that it would not be too exaggerated.
Lu Yin was excited. "Elder, do you think that this junior can take a look at the Hall of Honor's treasury?"
Elder Dagu felt a chill run down his spine. "Don't you want resources?
Just say it. Why take a look at the treasury? "
Lu Yin blinked. "It's Master Yuan's orders."
Elder Dagu gulped. "Actually, after several wars, the Hall of Honor isn't that rich."
"I didn't say that I wanted money. Of course, I still have to give them what they deserve. I remember that Elder Dagu said that the end of a war would not only reward a large amount of star essence, but there would also be a large amount of military contributions." Lu Yin smiled.
Elder Dagu pursed his lips. "Your military contributions are great enough. Your status has already surpassed mine."
Lu Yin clapped. "That's even better. As the commander of the Allied Armies, don't I have the right to take a look at our treasury?"
Our treasury?
These words caused Elder Dagu's hair to stand on end, but there was nothing he could do. "Please."
Lu Yin had actually wanted to follow Elder Dagu to take a look at the treasury of the Outerverse's Hall of Honor, but Elder Dagu was unwilling to take him there. In the end, the two of them arrived at the Southern Weave's battlefield warehouse.
It wasn't that Lu Yin had never been to a battlefield warehouse before, but this time, he had gone to the main warehouse instead of one of the branch warehouses.
The border warfront's main warehouse wasn't too far from Master Yuan's location, and the Hall of Honor was also worried that the warehouse would be damaged. The humans weren't completely united against the Sixth Mainland's attack, and the Neohuman Alliance, for example, had a high chance of causing damage. Thus, they had to stay close to Master Yuan. With Master Yuan overseeing things, no one would be able to do anything to the warehouse.
Elder Dagu stood tall in space as he looked at a very ordinary planet in front of him.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Is the warehouse on that planet?"
Elder Dagu's lips twitched. "That planet is the warehouse."
Lu Yin was confused. "What do you mean?"
Elder Dagu replied, "That planet is the warehouse."
Lu Yin was stunned, but then he reacted in shock. "You're saying that the entire planet is the warehouse?"
Elder Dagu nodded.
Lu Yin was stunned and stared at the planet in a daze. Was this for real?
Although this planet wasn't very large and was much smaller than Earth and roughly the size of the moon, it was still too exaggerated. How many resources could an entire planet contain?
"There are billions of cultivators at the border warfront, and that doesn't include the forced conscription of the entire Outerverse during wartime. This is the main warehouse, and there are branch warehouses everywhere. Even so, the resources are still a little insufficient. During the battle in the astral graveyard, many Outerverse powers paid for this war out of their own pockets, and they didn't receive any resources from the border warfront."
Lu Yin sighed in admiration. "Only the Hall of Honor can use an entire planet as a warehouse. By the way, Elder, how many star essence are there?"
Elder Dagu muttered to himself, not wanting to say anything. However, when he glanced at Lu Yin and saw the stubborn look in his eyes, he helplessly replied, "It's hard to say the exact amount since it's all mixed up. However, there should be a few hundred million star crystals."
Lu Yin's mouth fell open, and he suddenly felt like he was a poor person, a true poor person. Not too long ago, he had been excited about his meager wealth and had thought that he had escaped poverty. But now, he finally understood what it meant to be rich.
The Hall of Honor was the rich one, and they were offering a few hundred million star crystals.
Lu Yin suddenly recalled the mountain ranges of star essence he had seen on the Transportation Continent. There had to be a few billion star essence there.
Only by comparing would Lu Yin realize the difference. He was too embarrassed to tell Elder Dagu that he had so little savings. It was no wonder why Elder Dagu never haggled when buying things.
Elder Dagu coughed, and his eyes flickered. "Let's go down."
"Seventh Bro, that old guy isn't telling the truth. Look at how wretched he is. His little eyes are rolling around. There's definitely more than a few hundred million star essence!" the monkey shouted.
Lu Yin looked over.
Elder Dagu guiltily took a step forward and disappeared.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. More than a few hundred million? Could it be more than a billion?
A single mountain range was worth at least a hundred million star essence, which meant that the planet below them could contain far too many mountain ranges. However, it was impossible for all of them to be star essence. Most of them were definitely minerals, food, and star crystals. After all, the Outerverse's most commonly used currency was star crystals, not star essence.
Even cultivators who had reached the Cruiser realm might not be qualified to be allocated star essence. Most of them were definitely star crystals, which made sense. Even if a hundred million star essence could be exchanged for star crystals, it would still be a considerable amount. A difference of a hundred thousand times was equivalent to a hundred thousand mountain ranges. Using an entire planet as a warehouse was not an exaggeration.
Lu Yin took a step forward and entered the planet's atmosphere.
The planet's environment was not bad, and it had a primitive look to it. However, there were no large creatures, and it looked like the life forms here had just sprouted.
There were resources everywhere as far as the eye could see, and there were also many spaceships. The continuous mountain ranges were filled with star crystals, and as for star essence, they were all in the sea.
Lu Yin caught up to Elder Dagu. "Elder, please introduce us."
