Lu Yin was helpless. He had many questions to ask Bai Qian, but the one he wanted to know the most was how she had become a Cruiser.
He had his innate gift of the die, his Time Stop Space, and various other methods to speed up his cultivation. He had even used death energy to replace star energy, which had allowed him to become a Hunter in a short twelve years. But what about Bai Qian?
She was also a normal person, but she had become a Cruiser in such a short time. It was somewhat inconceivable since her realm was not any lower than Ku Wei's.
Ku Wei had come from the Seven Courts, so what did Bai Qian have?
This woman had secrets.
Lu Yin wanted to ask, but since she did not want to talk about it, he could not force her. Still, he was quite happy to meet a fellow Earthling here.
"Go back to Earth when you have the time. Maybe you can bring Bai Xue and the others back from Jupiter," Lu Yin said before heading towards the tower.
Below, in the hot spring, Bai Qian looked up at Lu Yin's departing figure and fell into deep thought.
If Lu Yin was surprised by her increase in power, then she was shocked by Lu Yin's increase in power.
She knew that with her own innate gift and destiny, it was normal for her to become a Cruiser. Even though it seemed inconceivable to outsiders, she herself felt that it was a little slow. But what about Lu Yin?
How had he improved so quickly?
Furthermore, the pressure that Lu Yin had exerted on her during that brief exchange was far greater than any of her peers that she had ever faced.
From the Astral Combat Tournament to the decisive battle with the Sixth Mainland in the Cosmic Sea, and now, Lu Yin's improvement was unimaginable. His innate gift and destiny even surpassed hers.
With complicated thoughts, Bai Qian sank into the hot spring. As for Bai Xue and Zhang Dingtian, since they had already gone there, they would walk on a different path. One day, they would return, and it was also possible that they would be waiting for them on the other side.
Earth would be discovered one day. Lu Yin was too high-profile, and the more high-profile he was, the faster the calamity would befall Earth. She needed to increase her power as soon as possible.
Starlink Network's headquarters was a tall tower that towered into the heavens. From a distance, the tower did not seem very large, but that was because it was too far away. It was so far away that Lu Yin had expected it to be. Only when he got closer could he truly understand how large the tower was.
It was not an exaggeration to say that this tower could hold billions or even ten billion people without being crowded. It could also hold countless technological products.
Through this tower, one could connect to the Outerverse from the Neoverse.
It had been some time since Lu Yin had left the Outerverse, and the Hall of Honor's decision had made him rather anxious. He needed to regain control of the Outerverse as soon as possible.
There were no obstructions to entering the tower, but Lu Yin found it strange that this place was so open.
The first level was very wide, and one couldn't see the end of it. From afar, it looked like a tall tower, but from close up, it looked like it was made up of many pieces of land.
This was the Starlink Network Company that Lu Yin remembered. The most advanced technology was everywhere, and people moved around the screens, disappearing and reappearing in the blink of an eye. Everyone had their own matters to attend to.
Suddenly, a mechanical voice sounded in Lu Yin's ears, "Mr. Lu, please ascend."
Just as Lu Yin was feeling puzzled, a beam of light descended from the sky and enveloped him, causing his body to float up uncontrollably.
The binding force of this light beam was not strong. He could easily break free, but there was no need for that.
His speed grew faster and faster as he flew higher and higher. It was as if he was flying through space, and he could see the entire landscape of the mountains and rivers.
Soon, he arrived at the top of the tower.
This was not an office, but a garden.
Lu Yin stepped into the garden and heard a familiar singing voice from afar. His heart skipped a beat, and he looked over. It was Zi Jing.
Zi Jing looked up and smiled when she saw Lu Yin. "Look, I told you I could read fortunes."
Lu Yin laughed as he walked around the garden.
There were all sorts of strange flowers and plants here that he did not recognize, but they were all very beautiful. Zi Jing walked amongst the flowers like a gardener, occasionally watering them. She seemed to be very happy.
"Are you the boss of Starlink?" he asked.
Zi Jing nodded and looked at him. "Why? You don't look like it?"
"You don't look like it at all," Lu Yin said, but then he realized that he was being a little rude. "You're too young and too beautiful."
"Haha, Lu Yin, you always coax girls like this. You're so sweet." Zi Jing smiled.
Lu Yin smiled. "Tell me, how can I contact the Outerverse?"
"I told you I could read fortunes, and now you're begging me." Zi Jing smiled happily.
Lu Yin knew that women could not be offended. He could contact Mu En and have Zi Jing agree to let him contact the Outerverse, but doing so would offend this woman. She was not a subordinate of the Hall of Honor and was merely under supervision. Besides, she had developed a network that connected the entire universe, and he would definitely need her help in the future. It was not worth it to offend her over such a small matter.
"Alright, what do you want?" Lu Yin asked helplessly.
Zi Jing put down the kettle and took out a hat from somewhere. She then gestured for Lu Yin to take a seat.
There was a wooden table nearby, and Lu Yin sat down.
Zi Jing poured him a cup of tea. "Try it. It's flower tea brewed with these flowers."
Lu Yin raised a brow. Flower tea?
Wasn't that what Zhao Ran liked to do?
He took a sip and felt that something was off. It tasted similar to the tea brewed by Zhao Ran.
Zi Jing looked at him. "How's the taste?"
Lu Yin nodded and praised, "It's delicious and beautiful." Although the taste was similar to the tea brewed by Zhao Ran, the appearance was completely different. Zhao Ran's flower tea was like poison, and no one dared to drink it unless they had some courage. It was not like this tea, which looked delicious.
Zi Jing smiled. "Thank you."
Lu Yin asked, "How can Boss Zi Jing allow me to contact the Outerverse?"
Zi Jing smiled. "I'm not stopping you."
Lu Yin was taken aback. That seemed to be the case since she had not stopped him.
"So you're saying that I can contact the Outerverse?" Lu Yin asked.
Zi Jing smiled. "I can stop you right now."
Lu Yin was speechless. "What's the request?
Tell me. "
Zi Jing put down her teacup. "Does Alliance Master Lu allow others to make requests so easily?"
"That depends on who the other party is."
Zi Jing smiled. "The Hall of Honor has given the authority to oversee the Great Eastern Alliance to one of the nine directors, the Old Man. The Old Man has also sent his grandson to the Outerverse. Is Alliance Master Lu worried that his grandson, Young Master Tian, will be able to take control of the Great Eastern Alliance?"
Lu Yin fell silent.
Zi Jing continued, "Does Alliance Master Lu have so little confidence in the Great Eastern Alliance that you've single-handedly created?"
Lu Yin looked at her. "What are you trying to say?"
Zi Jing replied, "Young Master Tian has used the excuse that the Outerverse is about to be gifted to the Sixth Mainland to convene a meeting of the Great Eastern Alliance with the intention of electing a new Alliance Master. Does Alliance Master Lu know about this?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "I know now."
