Starsibyl whispered, "Nightking Zhenwu became the leader of the Ten Arbiters because he promised to inherit the Star Tower as soon as possible and help others deal with the Neoverse."
"They believed him?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
Starsibyl replied, "They had no choice but to believe him. This is an opportunity. Otherwise, even if the Ten Arbiters are truly invincible, they won't be able to take on so many top experts from the Neoverse."
"How many people from the Neoverse are vying for the Star Tower?" Lu Yin asked.
Starsibyl replied, "Many, but any large organization has the right to send people. There was a limit on the number of participants, but there is no limit this time. Anyone can go as long as they want to. The Progenitor realm is an opportunity, and it doesn't just test one's strength, but also one's destiny."
Lu Yin understood that those who were fated would have an easier time reaching the Progenitor realm if they were weaker but were fated with an inheritance.
However, even though the limit was set, not just anyone could go. One had to at least join a large organization that knew the location of the Star Tower. Otherwise, how could one compete?
Lu Yin looked around. "Everyone, there's a question that's been bothering me for more than ten years." He paused and then slowly said, "Fourteen years ago, in the Ten Arbiters Council, someone proposed to expel Big Sister's mercenary group based on a piece of paper with the surname Lu. I want to know who this person was."
The other Ten Arbiters all had different expressions when they heard Lu Yin's question. Some were shocked, some were confused, and some were calm.
Lu Yin had not asked Lan Si this question when he had defeated him, as Lan Si could have been that person as well. He had been waiting for this day for more than ten years, waiting for the day he could ask Lan Si in person.
Outside Nightking Planet, Highsage Leon's gaze turned cold when he heard Lu Yin's question. He knew who it was, which was why the Cosmic Sea had not been peaceful these past few years. However, he had not told Lu Yin, as he wanted Lu Yin to investigate this matter himself.
Today, it was finally time to reveal the truth.
Warlord Xing Kai scratched his head. "A piece of paper with the surname Lu?
That sounds familiar. I think it did happen before. I remember. "He looked at She He." You were the one who suggested it, right? "
Everyone else looked at her.
She smiled and shrugged. "I was asked to do so, and I'm just doing what I can."
Lu Yin had already guessed that it was She, as he had seen the information from the Amethyst Trading Company.
Old Gu De had mentioned that this matter was related to one of the Ten Arbiter Groups. Of the Ten Arbiters, only one of the Ten Arbiters...
Furthermore, Lu Yin had also heard that Imperial Tutor hated the primeval surnames, which was why his relationship with Liu Tianmu was so poor that they had barely spoken to each other. He also had a poor relationship with Wen Sansi, as the Erudite Flowzone had the most primeval surnames.
"What a good 'I was entrusted by someone, and I'm only doing what I'm supposed to do'. It's such a simple sentence, but seventy-two lives were sacrificed." Lu Yin's tone was cold as he stared at Xu He. His hatred for this person was no less than Nightking Zhenwu's.
She smiled at him. "Only 72 lives?
..............
Are you one of the remnants? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yin's eyes widened, and he took a step forward. His pupils transformed into runes as he stared at She He. She opened her eyes, and her pupils also transformed into runes as she met his gaze.
Both sides were weakening each other's rune lines, and their star energy formed arcs that collided against each other.
Suddenly, sword light flashed as Liu Tianmu acted and cut off the two's star energy collision. "Enough."
Lan Si appeared and faced She. Serati Phoenix also walked out and faced Lu Yin. The two sides were clearly separated.
The situation was on the verge of erupting.
Wen Sansi felt a headache coming on. "Brother Lu, how many matches do you want to fight today?"
Lu Yin's fingers curled up. The aftereffects of his battle with Nightking Zhenwu were still present. The star energy collision with She He had caused the wounds on his body to open up again, and fresh blood flowed out.
"The most important thing right now is the contest for the Star Tower. With a Progenitor's inheritance, everything has to be pushed back," Ling Gong said.
She spread her hands. "I don't care."
Everyone looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked away. "I'll pay you back sooner or later."
She smiled even more brilliantly, which reminded Lu Yin of Silver. "I'm afraid of trouble, so I like to cut the weeds and remove the roots."
Lan Si's tone was low. "You talk a lot."
She smiled and did not say anything else.
Serati Phoenix suddenly spoke up. "Those who are qualified to compete for the Star Tower are the Titled Kings from the Sixth Mainland's invasion. Brother Lu, are you qualified?"
Everyone looked as if they had just woken up from a dream, including Lu Yin.
He had defeated Nightking Zhenwu, and everyone naturally believed that he could replace him as one of the Ten Arbiters. They also believed that he could participate in the contest for the Star Tower in the Neoverse. However, Lu Yin was himself, and Nightking Zhenwu was Nightking Zhenwu. Defeating Nightking Zhenwu did not mean that he could replace him.
He was not a Titled King from the Sixth Mainland's invasion, nor was he a disciple of a great power in the Neoverse. His status as a Glory Child had been temporarily stripped, so how could he be qualified to compete for the Star Tower?
Starsibyl's eyes flashed. She had forgotten about this matter, but she could not be considered to have forgotten, as she had never considered Lu Yin's existence. She naturally wanted to transfer everything about Nightking Zhenwu to Lu Yin to achieve her goal, but she had neglected the most basic fact: Lu Yin was not qualified to compete for the Star Tower.
Lu Yin immediately contacted Master Yuan and asked about his qualifications.
His face quickly sank, as his status as a Glory Child could not be restored for the time being.
Nightking Zhenwu was dead, and the charges could not be withdrawn. He was still a suspect of the Fifth Mainland's traitor.
"Seventh Bro, it can't be! You've cut off your own chances of competing for the Star Tower!" the monkey cried out in an exaggerated manner.
Lu Yin's expression turned ugly, but it could not be said that he had cut off his own chances, as the situation had spiraled out of control. By the time he had reacted, he had already clashed with Nightking Zhenwu.
They had agreed that Lu Yin would return the inheritance stone, and Nightking Zhenwu would withdraw the charges. However, from start to finish, Nightking Zhenwu had not mentioned anything about returning the inheritance stone. He had believed that Lu Yin would not be able to escape and would definitely die.
Lu Yin had not expected Nightking Zhenwu to act so quickly, and he had even planned to bury the White King's bloodline without any preparation.
Everything had happened too suddenly.
"It seems that Brother Lu does not have the qualifications to compete for the Star Tower in the Neoverse. I'll take my leave now. Everyone, see you in the Neoverse." He then turned to leave. "What a pity, Nightking Zhenwu. He could have helped us deal with a group of people from the Neoverse. What a pity."
Nobody stopped him from leaving.
Following his departure, Liu Tianmu left as well. Xing Kai, Ling Gong, Wen Sansi, and the others followed suit.
They had come because they had been invited by Nightking Zhenwu to discuss their opponents in the Neoverse. They had also confirmed that Nightking Zhenwu was the leader of the Ten Arbiters. Now that Nightking Zhenwu was dead, and Lu Yin could not compete for the Star Tower in the Neoverse, they naturally had to leave.
In the end, only Lan Si remained. He had the qualifications to go to the Neoverse because he had already sealed himself on the Grayweed Continent in the Starfall Sea. This seal did not refer to the Ten Arbiters, but rather the seal that had been used during the war. Only the Ten Arbiters had been able to accomplish this.
Back then, he had wanted to snatch Lu Yin's position as a Glory Arbiter in order to preserve the opportunity to compete for the Star Tower in the Neoverse. The Ten Arbiters did not have the qualifications to compete, and only the disciples of the Neoverse's great powers had the qualifications.
Lan Si had never expected that the final King would have the qualifications. In fact, after his battle with Lu Yin, the status of a Glory Arbiter no longer held much attraction for him. He had simply wanted to battle with Lu Yin.
"There's only one way to participate in the Star Tower contest." Lan Si looked at Lu Yin and solemnly said, "Go to the Neoverse and join a certain power before the Star Tower contest. You can represent that power in the Star Tower contest."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up, and the first thing he thought of was the Sirius Sect.
"However, there are also difficulties. Even if you suppress the top heirs, you will not be able to gain their trust, and you will still not be able to represent them in the Star Tower contest. Furthermore, the great powers have their own internal struggles, and participating in the Star Tower contest is not something that can be accomplished with just strength alone. However, Brother Lu, this is your only chance," Lan Si said, and then he left.
Lu Yin was at a loss. There were less than five months until the Star Tower's opening. Was it even possible to go to the Neoverse, join a certain power, and then represent that power in the contest?
Not to mention the Star Tower contest, even getting to the Neoverse was a problem.
"Did I disappoint you?" Lu Yin asked. He was speaking to Starsibyl.
Starsibyl's eyes flickered. "Although I can't divine you, I've tested you a few times. I'm certain that you won't fail so easily."
"How many times?" Lu Yin was curious, and he turned to look at Starsibyl. "Which times?"
Starsibyl smiled and then turned to leave. "Brother Lu, I'll wait for you in the Neoverse."
Lu Yin was astonished. "You can also participate in the Star Tower contest?"
Starsibyl replied with a single word. "Yes."
Since she could participate in the Star Tower contest, then it made sense to rely on Nightking Zhenwu. Was Starsibyl's plan to have Nightking Zhenwu help her after he became one of the Five Scions of the Stars?
Everyone believed that Nightking Zhenwu would definitely become one of the Five Scions of the Stars if he accepted the Star Tower inheritance on his own. But was it really that easy?
If a Progenitor's inheritance was that easy to accept, then it would not be a Progenitor's inheritance.
Lu Yin's deepest impression of the Esoteric Seal was the 'Plan' Secret Art. If not for his wisdom root, he would never have been able to comprehend it in his entire life. Right, and this was under the premise that he had relied on Qiong Xi'er's innate gift.
The Innerverse and Outerverse could no longer see the scene on Nightking Planet, and the final scene was of the Ten Arbiters leaving one by one.
No one knew what had happened; perhaps the Ten Arbiters had reached some sort of agreement.
Many people were now concerned about whether or not Lu Yin had replaced Nightking Zhenwu as one of the Ten Arbiters.
If Lu Yin became one of the Ten Arbiters, his influence would be too great. If he could topple the Daynight clan, then he could topple any power in the Innerverse or even any Flowzone.
Nightking Zhenwu had died in battle, and Nightking Dijiang had not been able to stop him. The Blazing Mist Flowzone had ceased all activities, and the Outerverse's experts had all retreated.
The pirates in the Daynight Flowzone had all retreated, and everything quickly returned to normal.
Lu Yin walked over to Zhuo Daynight and extended a hand to her.
Zhuo Daynight held Lu Yin's hand, and her white hair brushed against his hand gently.
"You almost broke down, didn't you?" Lu Yin asked with a smile.
Zhuo Daynight's expression relaxed, and she looked at the spot where Nightking Zhenwu had died. "Not just a little. I've already broken down."
Lu Yin raised a hand and patted her head. This action was very intimate, but Zhuo Daynight did not reject it.
"Do I look ugly?" Zhuo Daynight asked.
Lu Yin replied, "White hair. You look pretty good." There were quite a few people with white hair around him.
