Lu Yin activated his gadget, and a screen appeared. Lilyrose looked at it, and her expression changed.
The screen recorded the men that she had tortured during this period of time. There were a total of thirteen of them, and all of them were handsome men. Although they had not died, their bodies had practically been crippled.
Lu Yin took a sip of wine. "No one cares about your private life, but the people you tortured were all civilians of the Great Eastern Alliance. You're guilty."
Lilyrose immediately denied it. "I didn't do it. Don't accuse me."
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "Don't you know that I'm a major shareholder of the Amethyst Trading Company and also the highest level of management in Aegis? I also have access to information that you don't know about. As long as I want to know, you can't hide anything from me."
Lilyrose gritted her teeth. At that moment, she suddenly understood why he was the leader of the Great Eastern Alliance and why he was the king of the Outerverse. This man would be the first to know anything that happened in the seventy-two weaves of the Outerverse.
Lu Yin looked at her. "I know why you did all of this. It's because of your mother."
Lilyrose's face paled, and her gaze turned sinister. "Nonsense."
Lu Yin laughed. "I don't want to discuss your family matters. Are you loyal to the Blaze Realm?
Do you really recognize your status?
Or are you unable to resist? "
Lilyrose lowered her head and stared blankly at her wine glass. She stared at her reflection, which was exactly the same as that woman's face. She felt disgusted every time she looked at that woman, and she wanted to tear her face apart.
Lu Yin had revealed her deepest secret, one that she could not face, and she was even more ashamed to face it.
Lu Yin had only just found out, and just as he had said, he wanted to know more about Lilyrose's situation. Thus, all of the major intelligence organizations had gathered information, and the entire process had taken less than a minute.
Neither Aegis nor Qian Yan knew about Lilyrose's background. This information had come from the Amethyst Trading Company.
Lu Yin had never thought that Lilyrose would have such a background, and to be honest, she was very pitiful. He could understand everything that this woman had done, but understanding was one thing. It was not an excuse for her crimes, and it could not be used as an excuse.
"I can help you," Lu Yin said calmly.
Lilyrose's body trembled, and a trace of madness, anger, and hatred for her past appeared in her eyes. "Help me?
You're just using me. "
Lu Yin looked at her. "Then, are you willing to be used against the Blaze Realm?"
Lilyrose laughed. "Blaze Realm?
What makes you think I'll help you? "
"It's up to you whether you want to help me or not. I just want to know more about the Astral River Ark."
Lilyrose stared into his eyes, "What if I don't tell you?"
Lu Yin deactivated the screen and swirled his wine glass. "Capture them and punish them until they pay for their crimes."
Lilyrose clenched her fists and downed a jug of wine. She then stood up and coldly said, "I don't know who built the Astral River Ark, nor do I know who can repair it. However, I do know that there are more than two arks in the Astral River. There's a spare one in the Blazing Mist Flowzone."
Lu Yin's brows rose. As expected, the Astral River was unfathomable. How could there only be two Astral River Arks that connected the Innerverse and Outerverse? It was normal for there to be a backup in case the Astral River was destroyed by the terrifying monsters in the Astral River.
"Do you know where it is?"
Lilyrose replied in a low voice, "I don't know. The Astral River Ark doesn't belong to the Blaze Realm, but it belongs to the Hall of Honor. However, it's kept in the Blazing Mist Flowzone. Many people in the Blaze Realm know about this, but not many know its exact location."
Lu Yin fell silent.
Lilyrose left. Tonight had not been a good night for her. Her greatest and most humiliating secret had been exposed. Although many people in the Blaze Realm knew about this secret, this was the first time she had been humiliated in public.
She could not do anything to Lu Yin, so she looked into the distance and saw a bar. She wanted to find a man to vent her anger, but after some thought, she decided to leave.
She could not stay in this place, as Lu Yin could do anything to her at any time.
She had not walked far when Lu Yin's voice rang out again. "Stay where you were before. Don't run around."
Lilyrose was furious and wanted to escape from Zenyu Star, but her rationality told her that it was useless. The entire Outerverse was under Lu Yin's control, and he had too many powerhouses to command. He also had too many sources of information. Unless she escaped to the Innerverse or the Astral Wilderness, she would always be under his control.
"Unlucky," Lilyrose cursed under her breath and left.
In a small bar, Lu Yin swirled his wine glass. He had thought that her background would allow him to get her to help him deal with the Blaze Realm, but he had been too naive. Although this woman had a deep grudge with the Blaze Realm, she would not submit to him so easily. He was not that charming.
Let's take it slow!
However, knowing that the Blazing Mist Flowzone had a spare Astral River Ark was both good and bad news. It all depended on how he used it.
After paying for his drinks, Lu Yin left the bar and returned to King Zishan's palace.
Elsewhere in the Innerverse, news of the Star Tower's official opening had spread. The Star Tower would open in eight months, and the Innerverse's Titled Kings would compete with the Neoverse's powerhouses for the title of Five Astral Children as well as the inheritance of the Five Mountains and Five Seas.
Everyone had to gather at their designated locations within half a year.
Nightking Zhenwu looked at the giant stone tablet in the distance. Zhuo Daynight had already surpassed Nightqueen Yanqing and was now second only to Zhanlong Daynight, Lu Yin, and himself.
As long as Zhuo Daynight could surpass Zhanlong Daynight, then she would meet his requirements.
As for Lu Yin, Nightking Zhenwu's eyes were filled with murderous intent. If he did not kill this person, he would not be able to rest easy.
Lu Yin had survived the Heart Arrow and even learned the Daynight clan's battle techniques. This person was definitely hiding a huge secret, and he had to be killed.
"The Astral River's decline has accelerated again. I estimate that the Innerverse and Outerverse will be connected in four months," Starsibyl said as she walked to Nightking Zhenwu's side.
Nightking Zhenwu frowned. "Four months? That's a little rushed."
Starsibyl did not know what he meant. "You're pretty much the head of the Ten Arbiters now. Is there anything else?"
Nightking Zhenwu stared at the image on the stone tablet that was second only to his own. "He has one month to reach the gathering point. That means that I only have one month to kill him."
Starsibyl looked up at Lu Yin's image. She still could not divine this person, but she had never expected that he would still be alive. This was a variable.
"Right, can you also compete for the Star Tower's inheritance?" Nightking Zhenwu suddenly thought of something and looked at Starsibyl.
Starsibyl nodded. "Yes."
Nightking Zhenwu's eyes flickered. "Are you confident?"
Starsibyl shook her head. "If I was, I wouldn't have followed you. The Star Tower's inheritance does not represent a single power in the Human Domain, but rather the entire Human Domain. The Three Dark Hands will also send people to compete for it. With my current strength, I won't be able to beat them."
"The reason why I'm optimistic about you is because you have a 90% chance of becoming one of the Five Astral Children."
Nightking Zhenwu subconsciously raised his head at this point, as this was his proudest achievement. He was only eight months away from becoming one of the Five Astral Children. Eight months later, he would become one of the Five Astral Children, and his light would illuminate the universe. His name would not only be known as Arbiter Zhenwu, but also the head of the Ten Arbiters, the Five Astral Children.
Somewhere in the Innerverse, Tai Yuanjun's face was filled with sorrow. He had never thought that Starsibyl, whom he had been infatuated with for so long, would actually side with Nightking Zhenwu. When he heard this news, his entire being collapsed.
When he saw the notification on his gadget, Tai Yuanjun stood up and roared, "Isn't it because he has the highest chance of becoming one of the Five Astral Children that you decided to follow him?
Fine, I'll definitely think of a way to become one of the Five Astral Children and surpass Nightking Zhenwu. When the time comes, let's see if you'll follow me. You're mine, and only mine. "
In the same Innerverse, thorns covered the ground and filled the heavens. All sorts of poisonous insects crawled on the thorns, and there was also a strange liquid dripping from them that could corrode the void.
Within the thorns, a woman opened her eyes. "Gather in half a year?
There's still time. "She then looked outside the thorns." It's been a long time since I've left the Gu Flowzone. It looks like those enemies have retreated. "
News of the Star Tower's impending opening spread throughout the Innerverse. This had once been a grand occasion for the Neoverse, but now, there were people from the Innerverse who were also participating in the competition, which had stimulated countless Innerverse powers. They all felt that from this moment onward, the entire Innerverse would be able to participate in the competition for the Star Tower in the future. This made them even more passionate about nurturing the younger generation.
Although many powers did not know what the Star Tower represented, they understood the status of the Five Astral Children.
If the Ten Arbiters could judge the younger generation, then they would be the kings of the younger generation in the Innerverse and Outerverse.
Then, the Five Astral Children would be able to suppress the Ten Arbiters, and they would be the kings of the younger generation in the entire Human Domain. They would receive even more support than the Ten Arbiters, which gave them a special status.
More importantly, the heavens had changed, and the Five Astral Children had a chance to become Progenitors. This was the most important thing.
Becoming a Progenitor could change everything.
After the Sixth Mainland's invasion, countless people became even more convinced of this fact.
The Innerverse was excited by the news of the Star Tower, but in the Outerverse, the eastern and central weaves remained peaceful. The Western Weaves, on the other hand, were in chaos. Many of the weaves' leaders had changed hands, and assassinations were happening all the time.
Lu Yin was putting a lot of pressure on En Ya and the others, and he was forcing them to do everything they could to bring the Western Weaves into the Great Eastern Alliance.
The frequency of assassinations was unprecedented, but fortunately, it did not cause any major upheavals.
Many powers in the Western Weaves contacted the Hall of Honor, hoping that the Hall of Honor would intervene. After all, the war had just ended, and it was still considered wartime.
However, the Hall of Honor did not intend to interfere this time. Elder Big Drum had thought things through clearly. Rather than allowing the Outerverse to remain in chaos, it would be better to settle things once and for all and allow the Great Eastern Alliance to unify the Outerverse. This way, Lu Yin would have both the title of commander of the Outerverse Allied Forces and the reality of it.
Sometimes, Elder Big Drum wondered if Lu Yin's mission in the Outerverse was to unify the Outerverse!
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Elder Big Drum did not care, and no one in the Western Weaves dared to speak up. Gradually, more and more weaves announced their intention to join the Great Eastern Alliance.
A little more than a month later, the Innerverse and Outerverse underwent great changes. After a full eighty months, the Great Eastern Alliance had unified sixty-five weaves, and more than half of the Outerverse had joined the Great Eastern Alliance.
Aside from Endless Weaves, there were still six other weaves that resisted the Great Eastern Alliance fiercely, as if they would rather die than submit. However, anyone with a discerning eye knew that they would not be able to resist for much longer.
Even Myriad City announced that it was willing to join the Great Eastern Alliance.
