On Everlasting Sky Island, Highsage Shen Wei's gadget beeped rapidly. He sighed and accepted the call. A screen appeared in front of him, and on the screen was Highsage Leon.
"Senior Brother, what's wrong with Little Yin?
Why didn't you protect him well? "Highsage Leon roared, his eyes bloodshot.
Highsage Shen Wei was helpless. "I'm sorry, Junior Brother. Everything happened too suddenly, and no one knew that the Neohuman Alliance's Seven Skygods would act."
Highsage Leon roared angrily, "Then why are those geniuses of the Hall of Honor unharmed?
Why are the others fine?
Only Little Yin was captured? "
Highsage Shen Wei shook his head. "I don't know. The only person the Neohuman Alliance managed to capture was Little Yin, and it was the Witch Spirit God who personally took action. Under those circumstances, even Master might not have been able to save him."
Ryan panted heavily as he ascended. He held his Tyrant Blade tightly, and his emotions were unstable.
After a while, Highsage Leon said in a low voice, "I believe that Little Yin will return. His destiny is very high, and it won't end just like this."
High Sage Shen Wei opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but no words came out.
"Old Man Bu wants to take over Little Yin? Impossible. Senior apprentice-brother, Everlasting Sky Island cannot remain silent on this matter," said Highsage Leon sternly.
Highsage Shen Wei nodded. "Don't worry, Master will personally oversee this matter. Nothing will happen to Little Yin's Great Yu Empire, and he won't be monitored by anyone."
"What about the Great Eastern Alliance?"
"Junior Brother, you should be clear that since the Outerverse has been unified, the meaning behind it has changed. Little Yin isn't around, so someone has to unify the Great Eastern Alliance. Otherwise, if the Outerverse splits again, it will never be unified again."
"That's all thanks to Little Yin."
"We know, and so does Master. Besides, Little Yin still has Master Yuan behind him. You should be clear about Master Yuan's status in the Hall of Honor, and no one can touch Little Yin's benefits. If he comes back alive, then Everlasting Island will definitely fight for everything that he deserves. But since things have already turned out this way, then we have to accept reality. All we can do is protect the people that he treasures. The Hall of Honor isn't trying to steal anything from him, but rather, for the sake of the Outerverse's stability, we have to do something."
Highsage Leon was not being unreasonable. Lu Yin was no longer around, but the Outerverse still existed. It was reasonable for the Hall of Honor to send someone to monitor the Outerverse, but he could not accept it being done so quickly.
"Master, let's wait for Little Yin for a while. If he returns during this time, the Hall of Honor will not only give him everything he deserves, but will also return the Great Eastern Alliance to him," High Sage Leon said in a low voice.
Shangsheng Shen Wei replied, "I don't need you to tell me that. If Little Yin can return, then forget about the Old Man, even if the nine council members all came forward, it would still be useless. The Neoverse cannot interfere with the Outerverse's affairs, and my Everlasting Island will definitely stand on his side. Master can also promise to teach him all of Everlasting Island's battle techniques and even secret techniques."
Everlasting Sky Island felt a deep sense of guilt towards Lu Yin, as they had long since known about the Mountain and Sea Realm's situation. The Mountain and Sea Realm's Five Astral Children had originally been used to attract the Neohuman Alliance's attention, but who would have thought that the Neohuman Alliance would actually capture Lu Yin?
Highsage Shen Wei did not know how to explain this to Highsage Leon, as no promise was worth more than a life. Besides, the Neohuman Alliance had not gone to such great lengths to capture Lu Yin just to kill him; otherwise, they would have been able to do so in the Mountain and Sea Realm. It would have been fine if Lu Yin did not return, but once he did, Highsage Shen Wei did not know how the Hall of Honor and the other powers would react.
Highsage Leon disconnected the call, as forcing Everlasting Sky Island to make their stance clear was the only thing he could do. Only then would the Hall of Honor have any misgivings. Little Yin had to come back.
In the Neoverse, in a brothel, Young Master Tian laughed as he looked at his gadget. "Although it's just a wildland, with this experience, it'll be enough for me to reach a higher position in the future."
He was the grandson of the Old Man, one of the nine council members of the Hall of Honor. The Old Man supervised the Outerverse's Great Eastern Alliance, and Young Master Tian accompanied the Old Man in an official capacity. Everyone knew that this was just gilding, but as long as he did not make any mistakes, he would be qualified to take over one of the nine council members in the future.
What excited Young Master Tian even more was that he would be recorded in the annals of history.
The Outerverse had never been unified, and Lu Yin was the first person in history to do so. However, he had been captured by the Neohuman Alliance, and everyone knew that he would not die so easily. Young Master Tian actually hoped that Lu Yin would come out alive and become a zombie. If that happened, Young Master Tian's reputation in history would be completely ruined. His grandfather, the Old Man, would be the greatest contributor to the unification of the Outerverse, and Young Master Tian would inherit this honor and step into the highest echelons of the Hall of Honor, as well as the highest echelons of the Human Domain.
Young Master Tian was very grateful to Lu Yin, and his gratitude came from the bottom of his heart. Without Lu Yin, Young Master Tian would not have had the opportunity to reach the heavens in a single bound.
"Don't worry, I'll preserve everything about you well. Although we've never met, I'll remember your contributions to me," Young Master Tian muttered to himself as he looked in the direction of the Outerverse. That place seemed like a wildland, but it was where he had begun to reach the pinnacle of his life.
…
The Hui Ancestor had schemed for eternity, and he had arranged to protect the Fifth Mainland. The Outerverse and Innerverse had been connected due to the interference of the Hall of Honor, and a calamity had befallen the Sixth Mainland.
A series of major events had occurred in such a short period of time, and no one knew exactly how they would affect the human race. Even the Starsibyl Sect did not have the ability to divine the Hui Ancestor's plans.
Amidst this grand era, a small episode had occurred on Earth.
Earth was where Lu Yin had first embarked on the path of cultivation. More than ten years had passed since the apocalypse, and it should have been expropriated by the Great Yu Empire and reduced to an ordinary planet. However, because of Lu Yin, Earth's fate had changed, and it had become one of the most famous planets in the Outerverse.
The major cities on Earth had changed greatly as well, and it was as if thousands of years had passed in an instant. Technology and cultivation were equally important.
Jinlin was one of the largest cities on Earth, and it was also where Lu Yin had stayed for a long time. Although it had changed greatly, many of the ancient buildings still remained.
Compared to the span of the universe's history, Jinlin was not even as old as a single cultivator. However, to the countless people on Earth, the fact that it had been preserved was already a cause for celebration.
There was also a statue of Lu Yin in Jinlin.
Countless people worshipped the statue every day, and when news of Lu Yin's capture by the Neohuman Alliance spread, even more people knelt down and prayed for his safety.
A young man walked out of a café not far from the statue and adjusted his sunhat. He opened his eyes and held a straw in his mouth as he sipped on his drink. He looked around and sighed. "So this is the Jinlin of this space-time?
How interesting. I've walked through so many folded space-times, but the Jinlin of this space-time has preserved the ancient buildings quite well. Dad will definitely be happy to see this. After all, he found his great-grandfather in Jinlin. "
He looked at the countless people kneeling under the scorching sun, and some even fainted. The young man was flabbergasted. "So respected?
Dad saved the entire Earth back then, but no one respects him this much. He sure knows how to play. "
The young man's words were overheard by a few burly men who happened to be passing by. They were furious and surrounded the young man. "Kid, what did you just say?"
The young man thought about it and was at a loss. "I forgot. Give me a hint."
One of the men stepped forward and glared at the young man. "You said he knows how to play?
Is this how you worship Prince Lu? "
The young man blinked. "I didn't worship him."
The burly man was furious. "You bastard, are you from Earth?"
The young man nodded obediently.
"Since you're from Earth, why don't you know how to be grateful?
If not for Prince Lu, we would have become slaves of the universe, and cultivators would have been thrown into the battlefield as cannon fodder. Do you know that?
Do you think you can still live on Earth?
Do you think you can still leisurely drink? "the man bellowed.
The more they understood the universe, the more grateful they were to Lu Yin. Only by experiencing the darkness could they understand how much light Lu Yin had given them.
The commotion attracted many onlookers.
The burly man glared at the young man. "What's your name, you brat?
Where are you from? What did your elders teach you?
Do you know how to respect people?
Do you know how to be grateful? "
Someone immediately agreed. "Find his family, tie them up, and make them kneel in front of Prince Lu's statue."
"Tie them up."
"Tie them up."
"Tie them up."
The young man saw that the people around him were getting closer and closer, and all of them were glaring at him fiercely. He laughed dryly, took a deep breath, and finished his drink. He raised his hand and waved goodbye. "Sorry, I don't know much about the history of your space-time. I'm just chasing a rabbit that can make lightning. Sorry." After saying that, he disappeared, leaving behind an empty drink bottle that fell to the ground with a soft sound.
The onlookers looked on in confusion, but they couldn't find any trace of the young man. They were all very unwilling, but there was nothing they could do about it.
…
Beneath the Eternal Kingdom, next to the deepest pit filled with death energy, Lu Yin absorbed a large amount of it. Every once in a while, he would stop to sense it, but he found that it didn't affect him much. He even had some hope of breaking through to the Hunter realm.
But one day, perhaps because he had absorbed too much death energy, Lu Yin finally felt that something wasn't right. Scenes of slaughter flashed through his mind, and he saw Puyu, Feng Mo, and Nightking Zhenwu. He saw his former enemies being killed one by one, and his heart was filled with boundless joy.
Suddenly, Lu Yin opened his eyes. Something wasn't right; the death energy was starting to affect him. He immediately stopped absorbing death energy, but for some reason, he couldn't. Even though he wasn't deliberately absorbing it, the death energy seemed to form a cycle that flowed through his body, and he had become part of the cycle.
Lu Yin didn't care about the consequences and wanted to leave the pit, but his body couldn't move. The death energy was completely suppressing him, and his body was like a container. Large amounts of death energy flowed through him, and some of it settled down while some gushed out again before continuing the cycle.
Lu Yin's heart sank, and his entire body turned cold. It was over.
Silver was very cautious. Although Lu Yin seemed to have been transformed by the death energy, his pupils didn't change like those of the Specter Clan. As a precaution, Silver had directly tossed Lu Yin next to the pit.
Even a Specter Clan member wouldn't be able to withstand large amounts of death energy next to the pit. Regardless of whether or not Lu Yin had been successfully transformed by the death energy, the moment he absorbed large amounts of death energy next to the pit, he would succeed even if he hadn't.
