Lu Yin was very satisfied. After all, this was the Outerverse, and they had used star crystals. Thirty million star essence was a boundless amount of star crystals, and it was a huge congratulatory gift to the various powers of the Outerverse.
Right after that, Wei Rong also brought Lu Yin good news. The Innerverse's major flowzones had congratulated Lu Yin on winning the championship and had sent over 5,000 star essence worth of star essence.
Lu Yin's breathing quickened, as this was close to a hundred million star essence, an unimaginable sum. Even if it was given to the eight major flowzones, it would still be an astronomical sum. The Blaze Realm's stockpile of star essence was only a hundred million.
And this was only the gifts from the smaller flowzones in the Innerverse. The eight major flowzones were even more generous, and they had sent a total of 200 million star essence.
Lu Yin was unhappy at this point, as he could tell that these people were trying to use money to get rid of him. No matter how much money a person could spend, how much money could he possibly spend? Lu Yin did not have any particularly large expenditure records, and these people were all shrewd.
If Lu Yin liked money, then they would give him money until he was full. In any case, the money could not be spent, and it was at most a decoration. It was still better than giving him power vessels, weapons, and battle techniques that could increase his strength.
More importantly, this money could not be spent, and if something happened to Lu Yin in the future, this money would still appear. These people treated Lu Yin as an alternative bank.
He would just treat it as saving money.
Wang Wen smiled brilliantly, but it was very annoying. "You're using things that you can't use for the time being in exchange for favors. To those people, this amount of money is not enough to move them, but it can temporarily fill you up. It's a good deal."
Lu Yin knew that Wang Wen was mocking him, but how could these people know the true meaning behind his money?
No matter what these people thought of him as, an alternative bank was better. The more money he had, the faster his strength would increase.
If these people knew that his strength increase was related to money, they would probably regret it to death.
"Put away that annoying smile of yours. I have my own uses for it," Lu Yin said unhappily.
Wang Wen smiled. "It doesn't matter. Having more money isn't a bad thing."
Lu Yin grew wary. "What are you planning?
I won't let a single cent of my money go out. "
Wang Wen was stunned, and his gaze turned strange. "You can't be like those people are guessing, that you have a strange addiction to money, right?"
Lu Yin didn't explain. "You said that you would make arrangements before the Autarch's match. How are things going?"
Wang Wen felt a bit helpless as he said, "Everything I did was based on you entering the top three. Now that you've become the champion, it's too eye-catching, so I'll have to redo everything."
Lu Yin raised his brows. "I remember that you were very confident in me before the competition. Everything was set up with me becoming the champion as the foundation."
"That's just one of the options, but you have to know that the goal of becoming champion is too difficult. That's why …" Wang Wen felt a little embarrassed and sullen. This was the first time he had made a mistake in his judgment. Even though Lu Yin becoming champion was a good thing, it had caused his image to crumble.
Who would have thought that Lu Yin would actually become the champion?
"You're currently attracting too much attention, and the entire universe is watching you closely. That's why I'm planning to have the Great Eastern Alliance withdraw from the Blazing Mist Flowzone as a show of our friendship. We'll then slowly infiltrate the Innerverse from another angle, one that won't attract the Innerverse's attention," Wang Wen explained.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "Which aspect?"
"I've already called Qiong Xi 'er over."
"Economy?"
“
Do you remember the Daystar Line?
I remember that you talked to that woman from the Daystar Line, and she explained in detail the status of corporations in the Innerverse. It's completely different from the Outerverse. No matter how rich these corporations are, they're just tools for the various Flowzones to amass wealth. They don't have any autonomy. In the Innerverse, corporations attract the least attention, but they're also the easiest group to infiltrate. "
Lu Yin recalled that Leng Yan had indeed mentioned that the Daystar Line was a subsidiary company of one of the top corporations in the Innerverse, the Giant Financial Group. The Giant Financial Group was the top corporation in the entire Innerverse, and in terms of economic strength, it far surpassed the Outerverse's four great corporations. However, its status in the Innerverse was inferior to the Outerverse's four great corporations because it did not have the ability to protect itself.
All of the money it earned had to be handed over to the organizations behind it, which caused the corporations to lead miserable lives in the Innerverse.
Lu Yin had only mentioned this to Wang Wen once, but he had not expected Wang Wen to remember it and use it as a starting point.
Lu Yin recalled the time when the Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated, and when Tyrannical Weave had first been connected to the outside world, Qiong Xi'er's methods of amassing wealth had given him confidence.
With Qiong Xi'er, Wang Wen, and Wei Rong, they were enough to dominate the Innerverse's business world. The Great Eastern Alliance's withdrawal from the Blazing Mist Flowzone had not only caused the Innerverse's various powers to relax, but it had also given the sylvan dragon tribe a reason to go to war with the Ross Empire.
"Where will the Great Eastern Alliance go after withdrawing from the Blazing Mist Flowzone?
Back to the Outerverse? "Lu Yin asked.
Wang Wen shook his head. "It wasn't easy for us to connect to the Innerverse, so how could we return? There's a small flowzone between the Gu Flowzone and the Blazing Mist Flowzone called the Fennel Flowzone. This flowzone is known as the gateway to the Gu Flowzone, and cultivators from the Outerverse who want to go to the Gu Flowzone to search for poisonous insects will usually stop at the Fennel Flowzone. Although it's small, it's very lively.
"That place can become the Great Eastern Alliance's territory in the Innerverse. First, it's relatively small, so it won't attract too much attention. Second, we can return to the Blazing Mist Flowzone at any time. That location and the Outerverse can form a pincer attack against the Blazing Mist Flowzone. Third, it's backed by the Gu Flowzone, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. If anything happens, no one will be able to easily take down the Fennel Flowzone. After all, it depends on the Gu Flowzone's attitude."
"Will the Gu Flowzone hand over the Fennel Flowzone to us so easily?" Lu Yin asked.
Wang Wen smiled. "The Gu Flowzone doesn't care about that place, and our Great Eastern Alliance doesn't have the ability to threaten them. We also can't seal off the Gu Flowzone's cultivators from leaving. To them, we're just gatekeepers at most."
Lu Yin understood. The Great Eastern Alliance wanted to borrow the Gu Flowzone's power to make the Sword Sect and other powers wary.
The outside world definitely thought so, but there was no need for that. The Great Eastern Alliance's true goal was to gradually weaken the Great Eastern Alliance's influence in the Innerverse and create an opportunity for Qiong Xi'er.
This was a diversion.
"Who do you plan to start with?
The Giant Financial Group? "
Lu Yin asked. At that moment, the screen distorted and then disappeared. The signal was gone, and Lu Yin found it strange. His gadget was specially provided by the Starlink Network Company, and its signal reception was extremely strong. It was not something that other gadgets could compare to, so how could there be no signal?
Suddenly, the spacecraft trembled, and Lu Yin frowned. He looked up into space, and his pupils shrank as his face turned pale.
He saw that space had completely split open, and the crack extended endlessly. It was as if another part of the starry sky had appeared, and within that crack, something so familiar that it made his scalp go numb appeared. It was a doll. The Witcher Spirit Deity — a doll.
When he saw the Witcher Spirit Deity Doll, Lu Yin felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
He immediately donned his universal armor and roared, "Run!"
。
He then walked out of the spacecraft and grabbed the walnut sourcebox that Master Yuan had created. He then took out the Tianhuang Array sourcebox and stared at the Witcher Spirit Deity Doll.
Inside the spacecraft, no one else knew what was happening. Only Ku Wei felt an intense sense of despair the moment he saw the Witcher Spirit Deity Doll.
The Witcher Spirit Deity Doll floated in space and let out a strange laugh. Everything around it was locked down, including the spacecraft, and it could not move at all.
Lu Yin gritted his teeth. It was over, and he had no chance at all. This was one of the Neohuman Alliance's Seven Skygods, an absolute powerhouse that stood at the peak of the universe. Why would it attack him?
What about Mister Mu?
Would he appear?
Without the jade, Lu Yin had no way of contacting Mister Mu.
At that moment, many thoughts ran through Lu Yin's mind as he stared at the Witcher Spirit Deity Doll. His back was drenched in sweat.
He had many tricks up his sleeve, but they were all like ants in front of an absolute powerhouse. How much power did this old monster have?
A million?
At the very least, Lu Yin was sure of one thing: Master Yuan was definitely not this monster's match.
Who could save him?
Who could?
The universe brightened considerably, and the cracked starry sky seemed to have parted the dark clouds. A beam of light shone down on the Witcher Spirit Deity Doll, making it seem like a god that brought death.
The strange laughter caused all living beings to tremble, and all sorts of creatures hid on the planet. Regardless of whether they were humans, animals, bugs, or astral beasts, all of them hid as fear and despair spread through their bodies.
"Keke, little brat, it's time to go home. Return to the Eternal Kingdom, return to where you belong. Keke," the Witcher Spirit Deity cackled as he looked down at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin gritted his teeth. "Old monster, the Hall of Honor will definitely try to save me if you capture me. Your Eternal Kingdom will be destroyed."
"Keke, if the Hall of Honor could destroy the Eternal Kingdom, they would have done so long ago. Little brat, are you trying to threaten me?" the Witcher Spirit Deity said in a cold voice.
Lu Yin stared at the Witcher Spirit Deity Doll and called out to Mister Mu in his mind.
"Why did you capture me?
I'm just a Hunter, and it's not up to you, one of the Seven Skygods, to attack me, "Lu Yin asked, as he was stalling for time.
The Witcher Spirit Deity Doll's cold gaze met Lu Yin's, causing him to shiver. "We'll talk when we get home. You have a lot of research value. After all, you've inherited that power." An irresistible force appeared around Lu Yin. He wanted to use the walnut power vessel, but he found that he could not move. He had no ability to resist the Seven Skygods.
He felt even more powerless than when he had faced cultivators as a normal person.
Within the spacecraft, the rest of the people could not move either, and they could only watch as Lu Yin was taken away.
Suddenly, there was a loud shout that caused the cracked space to tremble. The Witcher Spirit Deity Doll was shocked and immediately reached out to grab Lu Yin. However, an old man appeared in front of Lu Yin and looked up. "What a trick." The old man then raised his hand as well. "All Rivers Return to the Sea."
This was a secret technique from Eternal Sky Island, and it could convert an enemy's attack into primal energy that could erase the opponent's attack power.
The person who blocked Lu Yin's path was the Elysian Celestial Master from Eternal Sky Island.
The Witcher Spirit Deity Doll was furious. "The little brat from back then dares to act so recklessly now?"
"Old ghost, it's time for you to die!" the Elysian Celestial Master shouted.
A huge force pushed Lu Yin into the spacecraft and landed heavily on the ground. His organs were shaken, and he almost spat out blood. He hurriedly looked up into space and saw that the entire universe was shaking. It affected the Astral River, the Flowzone, and an unknown area.
