The Hall of Honor was the master of the Fifth Mainland, but it was not the ruler.
Even the Hall of Honor could not rule the Fifth Mainland, let alone him.
Cang Zhou didn't just represent Chaosgod Mountain. It also represented the Sword Sect, Lingling Clan, and other major powers.
After thinking about it, Lu Yin smiled. "Senior, I can only say that I'm righteous to my friends, but I'm merciless to my enemies."
Cang Zhou's gaze was deep. "Be clear. This old man isn't very cultured."
"I won't take the initiative to provoke anyone. Is that enough?" Lu Yin asked.
Cang Zhou frowned. "Is that so?" He clearly didn't believe it.
"The reason why the Outerverse was unified was to deal with the Sixth Mainland's invasion. This junior wants to better protect the Outerverse. Senior, you should be aware that this junior did not go overboard with the Outerverse. I only dealt with the people who were in my way. As for the Innerverse, the Blaze Realm is this junior's enemy, and the so-called Gateway Plan was also devised by the Blaze Realm. Wouldn't it be too cowardly for this junior to not deal with such a person?"
"Don't you have any plans for the Innerverse?" Cang Zhou asked.
Lu Yin answered sincerely, "Yes."
Cang Zhou raised his eyebrows.
Lu Yin sighed. "The Outerverse has already been gifted to the Sixth Mainland. I want to find a place in the Innerverse for the people of the Outerverse to live."
Cang Zhou wasn't surprised by Lu Yin's response. "The Hall of Honor has definitely taken this into consideration. You don't have to worry too much."
Lu Yin nodded. "That's right. Ever since I stepped onto the path of cultivation, I've been restricted by many parties, especially the Daynight clan. There are many things that I'm only doing to protect myself, so please don't misunderstand."
Cang Zhou felt that Lu Yin's words were somewhat exaggerated, but he couldn't refute them. He couldn't be so sure that Lu Yin wanted to unify the Innerverse and Outerverse, right? If that was the case, then why would he even bother asking?
Lu Yin's words made him feel slightly more at ease. The Blaze Realm and the Daynight clan were both Lu Yin's enemies, so there was nothing wrong with dealing with them.
Cang Zhou inexplicably smiled, as he realized that he had gone crazy. This brat in front of him was just a Hunter. Even if he had a chance to become a Progenitor in the future, that was still too far away. The Innerverse was so vast, so how could it possibly be unified by this brat?
Even the Hall of Honor could not do such a thing. Cosmic Ocean and the Neoverse would not allow such a thing to happen.
The more Cang Zhou thought about it, the more ridiculous it felt. Cang Zhou mocked himself; Lu Yin's victory had disrupted his mental state, as well as that of Liu Qianjue and the others. In reality, they had all overestimated Lu Yin, as he was still a child.
Cang Zhou looked up and saw Lu Yin's bright eyes and sincere smile. He then asked, "There's one question that you haven't answered. What do you want from this universe?"
Lu Yin thought about it and then smiled brilliantly. "I like money. The more, the better."
Cang Zhou was stunned. He had thought of many answers, but this was the only one that hadn't crossed his mind. Right, his investigation of Lu Yin had indeed mentioned that he loved money and had an insatiable thirst for it. Could it be true?
"Back then, Starsibyl asked me a question: How can I become stronger?" Lu Yin raised his head as he reminisced.
Cang Zhou's eyes lit up, as he had been asked this question before. Starsibyl was not the first generation's answer. "How did you answer?"
He was very curious.
Lu Yin smiled. "Earn more money, and you'll become stronger. That's what I said."
Cang Zhou pursed his lips, clearly stunned.
When Starsibyl had asked Lu Yin this question, only the two of them, Hai Dashao, and the Sea King had known.
Hai Dashao had felt embarrassed, so he had not told anyone. The Sea King naturally did not tell anyone, so Lu Yin's answer had not spread.
Cang Zhou
He had a strange feeling, and the way he looked at Lu Yin had changed.
Back at Sword Mountain, Lu Yin had spoken with them and threatened them, which had temporarily disrupted the portal plan. At that time, Cang Zhou had admired Lu Yin, and this had been the source of Cang Zhou's uneasiness after Lu Yin had become the champion of the Sovereign Tournament, which had led to this conversation. But why did it feel like the atmosphere had changed?
How could the master of Chaosgod Mountain have anything to do with money?
Although the portal plan had disrupted the Great Eastern Alliance for the benefit of the Outerverse, these benefits were for the entire Chaosgod Mountain. Cang Zhou had never lacked resources, and he had never personally participated in matters of money.
Now, he was actually talking about money with a junior. Should he give Lu Yin a greeting gift? After all, this was a child.
Cang Zhou was speechless.
"Ahem, I still have matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave." Cang Zhou coughed, clearly not knowing how to continue the conversation.
Lu Yin bowed. "Take care, Senior."
Cang Zhou left, and Lu Yin watched his back as the smile on his face gradually disappeared. Although he had become the champion, these old fellows from the Innerverse had become even more fearful of him and did not dare to deal with the Great Eastern Alliance, it was impossible for him to advance any further. These fellows were all watching him closely.
If he moved, he would receive the attention of the entire Innerverse, the Cosmic Sea, and even the Neoverse. Right, there was also the Sixth Mainland.
Most of the people from the Great Eastern Alliance had left, and only Wendy Yushan and a few others followed Lu Yin to the Blaze Realm.
This was Wendy Yushan's first time going to the Blaze Realm.
When they boarded the spacecraft, Ku Wei hurriedly welcomed them. "Seventh Bro, you're too amazing! Seventh Bro, you're invincible!"
Lu Yin casually brushed him aside, as he could not be bothered to waste his breath on this guy.
In front of him, Duan Daynight slowly bowed. "Congratulations, Alliance Leader."
Lu Yin nodded and looked at Wendy Yushan and Zhuo Daynight. The two did not say anything.
Lu Yin felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.
"Seventh Bro, there was someone called Wu Da who wanted to interview you, but I kicked him away. What kind of joke is that? A mere Explorer actually wants to interview Seventh Bro? What a joke." Ku Wei was Lu Yin's loyal lackey, and he immediately stepped forward to show off his achievements.
"Right, there was also someone called Zijing, but I kicked her away as well," Ku Wei continued.
Lu Yin was stunned, and he looked at Ku Wei with an unfriendly gaze.
Ku Wei panicked. "Wha- what's wrong?"
"Zijing is the boss of Starlink Network," Lu Yin said.
Ku Wei's mouth fell open. "That doesn't make sense?"
"Where is she?" Lu Yin felt a headache coming on, as he really wanted to work with Starlink Network.
Ku Wei's lips twitched. "She left. Before she left, she said that if Seventh Bro is free, you should go visit her."
Lu Yin felt helpless. "Don't offend anyone in the future, or I'll leave you on Zenyu Star forever."
Ku Wei hurriedly promised that he would not do so.
Everyone left, and Lu Yin had originally wanted to chat with Xia Luo and the others.
"What about the bets?
How was it?
Did you get your money back? "
Lu Yin thought about the 100 million star essence that he had bet, and he immediately asked about it, as this was the matter that concerned him the most.
Ku Wei's face turned ugly at the mention of this. "I couldn't contact the bets."
Lu Yin raised his brows. "What did you say?
Why couldn't you contact them?
That was such a huge bet, and everyone was watching it. Did they run away? "
Ku Wei replied, "The people who stayed behind were just scapegoats, and they didn't know anything when I asked them. That was such a huge bet, but they didn't even get a single cent in the end."
That was 100 million star essence, which was the same as swallowing everything. No, it was one billion.
It was a billion. Even for the Seven Courts, this was a huge number.
Lu Yin's face darkened, and it was terrifying.
Ku Wei was even more terrified. "Seventh Bro, are you alright?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed with cold killing intent. A billion star essence had been swallowed just like that?
How was that possible? Fortunately, Lu Yin had a backup plan, but he didn't know how much he would be able to recover. Lu Yin hoped that Lu Yin didn't catch him. Otherwise, no matter who was behind the scenes, they wouldn't be able to escape.
He now had the confidence to do so, and even if the person behind the scenes was someone as powerful as the Old Man, Lu Yin was confident that he could make that person spit out all the money he had lost.
The spacecraft headed towards the Blaze Realm. The Sovereign Tournament had finally come to an end, and Lu Yin had become a legend.
He had defeated everyone by himself, withstanding countless attacks, secret techniques, and battle techniques, but he had still won in the end. There was no suspense about his victory, and it could be said that this story would be passed down for countless years to come.
There was a spacecraft filled with all sorts of instruments, and everyone was busy. Many screens were playing a loop of Lu Yin's final battle after he had used the Reaper transformation.
"Quick, we have to get ahead of everyone else and edit all of Lu Yin's battles and broadcast them on the network."
"Hurry up, everyone's fighting for time. Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Suddenly, Lu Yin's battle scenes disappeared from the screen, leaving behind a string of numbers that everyone was familiar with. It had been banned from the network.
"What's going on?
Where's the footage?
Hurry up and broadcast it. What's going on now? "
"Bro, it's not good. It's been banned from the Interstellar Network."
"What does that mean?"
"It means that all videos of Lu Yin's battles have been banned."
"It's not just Lu Yin. All of the top ten's battles have been banned as well."
"Quick, copy the rest of the videos."
"It's useless. With Interstellar Network's capabilities, it doesn't matter where you copy it, it'll be banned as soon as it touches the network. It's useless."
"How can this be?"
"What's going on?"
…
Similar scenes were happening everywhere in the universe. No matter where you were, as long as you were connected to the network, all of the top ten's battles would be banned.
The top ten represented the future of the universe, and if nothing unexpected happened, they would all be the strongest in the universe in the future. How could their battle videos be circulated so easily?
This was a rule set before the Sovereign Tournament.
No one wanted to be constantly studied. These people all had enemies, and who could guarantee that they wouldn't find any weaknesses in these battle videos?
Even Lu Yin didn't want to be studied, even if his strength was unfathomable.
The spacecraft steadily sailed through space.
Wendy Yushan checked Lu Yin's wounds. "They're fine now."
Lu Yin replied, "After the Sovereign Tournament ended, I used medicine to control them. They're fine now."
"Is that so? The residual power in your wounds must be hurting you," Wendy Yushan said.
Lu Yin shrugged. His wounds had been caused by Progenitor Chen's blade, and the Progenitor's power had wreaked havoc around his wounds. It was the same as Shang Rong's power that had been left behind in Ling Gong's wounds.
The best way to deal with such residual power was to use Lockbreaking. That was how Lu Yin had helped Ling Gong back then, but his wounds had been healed by Wendy Yushan.
Wendy Yushan's healing talent was quite good, and the effects were obvious.
