"Have Wei Rong distribute a portion of the resources to everyone who participated in the battle. Leave the rest to me." Lu Yin coughed and stared fervently at the star essence on the ground. No matter what, the amount of star essence here was more than what he had obtained in the past. He was finally rich.
Not only had he obtained these from the Blaze Realm, but he had also obtained Madam Lan's power vessel and the tribulation fire. These were all priceless treasures.
As soon as he left the folded space, Lu Yin immediately ordered the area to be sealed off so that no one could steal anything from within. As for the cultivators from the Blaze Realm who had tried to steal resources, they were ordered to throw their own belongings into the folded space, much less steal anything from them. They themselves had become captives, which was a sad sight.
Just as he left the folded space, Wei Rong contacted him. "Your Highness, the Innerverse is in an uproar. Everyone wants to expel us, and the surrounding flowzones have formed an alliance. The Ross Empire and the sylvan dragons have already made preparations for war."
Lu Yin felt helpless. Why was he being boycotted everywhere he went?
This attack on the Blaze Realm had been a little too high-profile. Next time, he would use a different method and secretly occupy it.
"With Leon's Armada around, they won't dare to make a move. The surrounding flowzones are just a motley crew, so don't worry about them."
At that moment, another call came from his gadget. It was from a stranger.
Someone who could contact him at this time was definitely not an ordinary person.
Lu Yin accepted the call, and a pleasant female voice sounded from the other end. "Alliance Master Lu, this is Xin Jiao."
Lu Yin's eyes went wide. It was one of the nine directors of the Hall of Honor. "So it's Director Xin. How can this junior disturb you?"
"Haha, Alliance Master Lu is an incredible person. Don't belittle yourself." Xin Jiao smiled.
Lu Yin replied, "How's the investigation into whether or not I'm a traitor of the Fifth Mainland going?
Don't tell me you still want to use your only privilege as a director. "
"Alliance Master Lu, are you holding a grudge?
Then you shouldn't be doing this to me. "
Lu Yin smiled. "I wouldn't dare. I'm just asking. I have a clear conscience, and I don't want to be framed."
Xin Jiao smiled. "We believe that. The investigation hasn't even been started yet. Everyone trusts you."
Lu Yin smiled. This had nothing to do with whether or not they believed him. If not for Everlasting Sky Island, Master Yuan, and even Elder Chan's help, these directors wouldn't have cared if he was being framed or not. They would have arrested him long ago.
The nine directors of the Hall of Honor were in charge of worldly affairs. Under normal circumstances, even the Head Judge could not interfere. Of course, this was only in theory. Once the Head Judge spoke, the directors would not dare to disrespect him. Although Master Yuan had taught many people in the Hall of Honor, he still did not manage the affairs.
"Alliance Master Lu, first of all, congratulations on leading the Great Eastern Alliance to occupy the Fire Realm. Xin Jiao admires you."
Lu Yin replied, "Director Xin is here because of this matter. Does the Hall of Honor want to interfere?"
"Although the Hall of Honor controls the Human Domain, they don't care about the disputes between these powers. I'm only here to remind Alliance Master Lu that the Outerverse will belong to the Sixth Mainland in the future. Alliance Master Lu should be clear about the relationship between you and the Sixth Mainland. Since you already have an enemy in the Sixth Mainland, I'm sure that Alliance Master Lu doesn't wish to make an enemy out of the Innerverse as well."
"The Sixth Mainland is my Fifth Mainland's common enemy. Compared to me, the Innerverse's great powers are more concerned about them."
"That's true, but being attacked from both sides is a great taboo. Alliance Master Lu should think this through carefully. Of course, no matter what Alliance Master Lu does, the nine directors will not interfere. That's all I have to say. Alliance Master Lu, I wish you good luck."

Jiao ended the call.
Lu Yin put down his gadget. Xin Jiao was hoping that he would not start another war. There were so many people in the Innerverse contacting the Hall of Honor, which put a lot of pressure on the Hall of Honor. However, they were also apprehensive of the people behind them, so they did not dare to openly oppose Lu Yin.
Regardless of whether she reminded him or not, he would not start another war. He would not allow himself to be on the opposing side of the entire Innerverse.
He then contacted Wei Rong. "Release them. We're not enemies of the Innerverse."
Wei Rong smiled. "Yes, Your Highness."
Not long after, a composite video was broadcasted on the Innerverse and Outerverse networks. The video was composed of many edits, and the main content was about the disgraceful things that the Blaze Realm had done over the past few years. Most of them involved the bullying of the Outerverse's great powers, and there was also a video of the cultivators being forced to kneel on the Astral River Ark.
The video lasted for more than ten hours, and it recorded dozens of incidents that had happened in the Blaze Realm. These incidents could easily incite public outrage, especially the Outerverse's cultivators.
At the end of the video, there was a statement from the Blaze Realm cultivators to the public. "Those trash from the Outerverse who want to enter the Innerverse can only become slaves. Low-level cultivators will forever be ants and can only kneel before our Blaze Realm." This statement was accompanied by a scene of an Explorer kneeling before a Limiteer from the Blaze Realm.
That Explorer was already dead, and he had been killed by the Blaze Realm cultivator as a joke at the end of the video.
When the video was broadcasted, it shook the Innerverse and Outerverse.
The universe was cruel and filled with darkness. Vile incidents that challenged humanity's bottom line were everywhere, but none of these incidents had been exposed. As long as they were not exposed, there would not be any problems. However, the Blaze Realm's actions had been thoroughly exposed.
Suddenly, the entire network was filled with countless people cursing the Blaze Realm, especially those from the Outerverse. Anyone who had access to the network posted rumors in the video, threatening to destroy the Blaze Realm.
Soon after, a second video appeared, and it was also about the Blaze Realm's bullying of cultivators. There was a third video, a fourth video, and so on. In the end, there were more than a thousand videos.
The Blaze Realm had existed for so many years, and these incidents could not be summarized in just a few hundred videos. There were thousands or even tens of thousands of videos. There were millions of disciples in the Blaze Realm, and even if only one out of ten people did something evil, there were still tens of millions of incidents.
These videos came from the Tinder Alliance.
The Tinder Alliance had always been hiding in the dark to resist the Blaze Realm, and most of their members were cultivators whose families had been destroyed or bullied by the Blaze Realm. Only those people would join the Tinder Alliance, and they could easily gather hundreds of videos and thousands of cases.
In the last video, En Ya appeared. "The Great Eastern Alliance has no intention of starting a war with anyone. However, the Blaze Realm has been oppressing the Outerverse for many years and has even formulated a so-called portal plan. The Great Eastern Alliance is not an invader …"
After the video ended, the Great Eastern Alliance announced that Lu Yin had gone into seclusion to focus on preparing for the Supreme Tournament.
The Great Eastern Alliance's war against the Blaze Realm had caused a backlash from the entire Innerverse, but because of the videos released by the Tinder Alliance, countless people in the universe began to denounce the Blaze Realm. Although these people could not influence the various great powers, public opinion had already changed.
Many people said that the era of cultivation was all about one's fists, and that it did not matter how many ants there were. However, public opinion was also a general trend. Why did the Hall of Honor set up nine directors?
It was to help those at the bottom of the hierarchy fight for benefits. Although those at the bottom of the hierarchy did not have much power, the general trend that they represented was not necessarily inferior to the various great powers.
Back when the Great Eastern Alliance had first been established, Lu Yin had already experienced this.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
Lu Yin had tasted the benefits of public opinion before. This kind of general trend was invisible, but it could change the situation at a critical moment.
The Hall of Honor valued this kind of general trend.
Grasping the general trend was equivalent to grasping the Hall of Honor's direction.
The Sword Sect's Sect Master, Liu Qianjue, had said that Lu Yin would not be able to resist the Innerverse's general trend. Lu Yin did not intend to resist the Innerverse's general trend with his own strength. What he wanted was to borrow the general trend and borrow strength to fight strength.
At present, countless people's attention had shifted from the Great Eastern Alliance's invasion of the Blaze Realm to the vile deeds that the Blaze Realm had committed over the past few years. Many people in the flowzones around the Blaze Realm did not have any interest in using force against the Great Eastern Alliance. As long as the Great Eastern Alliance did not explicitly declare war, they would not take action either.
Lu Yin relied on his own qi to fight, and he had neutralized the qi in the surrounding flowzones.
The Ross Empire was different from the Sylvan Dragons, as they both belonged to the Blazing Mist Flowzone. The Great Eastern Alliance was a threat to them, and it was also obvious that the Great Eastern Alliance was allied with the Royal Frost Continent. This made them very uneasy, but Leon's Armada had completely blocked their path and prevented them from taking action.
Lu Yin's announcement that he was going into seclusion to prepare for the Supreme Tournament made many powers heave a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as he did not cause any trouble.
Lu Yin did not care about what was happening in the outside world, as he truly needed to prepare for the Supreme Tournament. Everything else could wait.
Wang Wen arrived at the Blaze Realm and gazed at the heavens. The Blaze Realm was being reorganized, and it had already become the Great Eastern Alliance's bridgehead to enter the Innerverse.
There were more than a thousand habitable planets in the Blaze Realm, and Lu Yin was currently on one with the most beautiful environment. Although this planet was habitable, it was uninhabited because it was still in the Savage Era, and there were enormous creatures everywhere. Any random one of them was at least a hundred meters tall, and there were even some that were over a thousand meters tall. These creatures were not simply tall, and some of them were not weak at all.
This planet was used by the Blaze Realm's disciples for their trials.
Lu Yin stood on the back of a giant creature called a dreadelephant. It looked very similar to an elephant, but it was over a thousand meters tall and more than three thousand meters long. Every step it took shook the earth, and it let out an angry roar that even Limiteers could not bear.
Wang Wen descended from the sky and stepped onto the dreadelephant's back. "I never thought that the Blaze Realm would have a planet that isn't hot."
Lu Yin smiled. "Long time no see."
Wang Wen smiled. "Long time no see, Your Highness. You're becoming more and more domineering."
Lu Yin laughed and sat down cross-legged as he looked at the volcanoes erupting in the distance. Many creatures were scrambling to escape, and many of them were trampled to death along the way. "The Blaze Realm is like those creatures that were trampled to death. They're not moving forward, but they're actually retreating."
Wang Wen sat down as well. "And Your Highness, you're like the one running at the very front." Just as he finished speaking, the creature at the very front slipped and fell off a cliff to its death.
Wang Wen pursed his lips, feeling a little embarrassed.
Lu Yin sighed. "You're right. It's easy to fall to your death if you rush too quickly. The ones that survive are usually second or third."
"You want to be second or third?" Wang Wen asked.
Lu Yin smiled. "Of course not. So what if I fall to my death if I rush too quickly? The one who survives is the leader, and all the creatures have to follow their leader."
Wang Wen nodded. "Then I'm relieved. I was just afraid that you would be intimidated by those people from the Innerverse."
