Lu Yin had not disturbed the sourcebox's danger, but Wu Dan had, causing a change that even Lu Yin could not control. Lu Yin could understand how Wu Dan felt. When Celestial Master Qiuling had made her first move, Lu Yin had not been able to control the changes in the game either.
Now, he was standing in Celestial Master Qiuling's position.
Celestial Master Qiuling had shown mercy and allowed Lu Yin to deal with the situation calmly, but Lu Yin would not treat Wu Dan the same way. Wu Dan was not his son, and Lu Yin could see that Wu Dan was unwilling to accept this outcome. Lu Yin then raised his hand and disturbed the sourcebox's danger.
Wu Dan wanted to see through the sourcebox's danger, but as soon as Lu Yin moved, he completely lost his composure. He could not even understand the sourcebox's danger. His back was struck by the danger, and his body was flung away. Lu Yin controlled the danger to destroy all of the black pieces.
The nearby array masters were shocked, as Lu Yin's display of power was shocking.
Wu Dan lay on the ground with blood at the corner of his mouth. His gaze was dim; he had lost so miserably that he had not been able to retaliate at all.
Lu Yin walked out of the game and bowed to Xiu Ming. "Senior, I'll head back to unlock the sourcebox."
Xiu Ming nodded. "Go back."
"Yes, Senior." Lu Yin nodded at the few Origin Array Masters who were watching the battle and left.
The array masters looked at Wu Dan. He was one of the top geniuses of the Lockbreaker World, and he had mastered sourcebox arrays at such a young age. He had considered himself a genius who stood at the pinnacle of his generation, but now, he had been crushed. It was too sad.
They grieved for him, as Wu Dan did not just represent himself, but also the entire Lockbreaker World.
Xiu Ming had them leave and then looked at Wu Dan. "You should have been able to tell from your first defeat that the gap between the two of you is too great."
Wu Dan was bitter. "President, the gap should not be that great."
Xiu Ming sighed. "His control over star energy has already reached the Profound Creation Realm, and his domain has already surpassed the limits of this region of space. Even his abilities in all aspects and the number of sourcebox arrays he has come into contact with far exceeds yours."
Wu Dan was confused. "Sourcebox arrays?"
Xiu Ming solemnly said, "From the very beginning of the first round, I could tell that this was not his first time playing against Eternal's Radius. Furthermore, the number of sourcebox arrays that he has come into contact with and even researched far surpasses yours, and even surpasses that of the Daybreak Array Masters. Perhaps the number of sourcebox arrays that he has mastered is comparable to that of the Daybreak Array Masters. Otherwise, there is no way to explain his current abilities."
Wu Dan's face was ashen. A Jieyuan Array Master. Jieyuan Array Master. That was a level that he might not be able to reach even after hundreds of years. Lu Yin had left him far behind.
"Some people are dazzling from the moment they are born, while others remain unknown. However, this does not necessarily mean that they will be the same in the future." Xiu Mingrou gently looked at Wu Dan. "Your heart is purer than his, and you are more focused on the path of lockbreaking than him. It doesn't matter if your innate talent is inferior to his. If you can't catch up to him in one year, then take two years. If you can't catch up to him in two years, then take ten years, or even a hundred years.
Wu Dan slowly clenched her fists. "But President, this disciple is still unwilling."
"Then continue competing with him until the day you surpass him," said Xiu Ming.
Wu Dan's gaze was resolute. "Yes, President."
After leaving Celestial Master Xiu Mingrou's residence, Lu Yin left the Ancientspirit Continent and headed towards the planet that had been assigned to him.
Reaching the level of a two star Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker was something that he could currently do. If he wanted to advance any further, then he would have to spend a lot of time, and he could not afford to waste that time.
There were too many things waiting for him to do.
A few days later, Lu Yin finished unlocking his first sourcebox.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
He had obtained a red plant that resembled a ferocious beast from a One Star Boundless Advanced sourcebox. He did not recognize it, so he put it away before unlocking his second sourcebox.
Unfortunately, the second sourcebox did not yield anything, so Lu Yin continued unlocking his Three Stars Boundless Advanced sourcebox.
He had high expectations for this sourcebox, but the results were disappointing, as there was nothing there.
The Astral Tree of the Cosmic Tree's two beliefs about sourceboxes appeared in his mind once more. Some believed that sourceboxes could only be used to set up a sourcebox array, while others believed that sourceboxes should be unlocked. If one could obtain something from unlocking it, then it would be worth it. However, most of the things inside sourceboxes had long since dissipated, and no one could tell which of these two beliefs was right.
However, Lu Yin was leaning towards the first belief, as he had suffered a huge loss. If he sold these three sourceboxes, he would be able to make quite a bit of money.
He currently had a billion star essence on him, and while it seemed like a lot, it would be gone once he used it. He could use it to upgrade any external item, and he still lacked money. Right, he also lacked external items, such as the most important defensive item. How could he do that? He had to find something to make up for it.
Two One Star Boundless Advanced sourceboxes, one Three Stars Boundless Advanced sourcebox, and he had also recorded the forms and dangers of the hundred sourceboxes in the Ancientspirit Sea. This had allowed Lu Yin to reach the level of a two star Boundless Lockbreaker, which was not easy at all.
Lu Yin sighed when he saw his Lockbreaking Level increase on his gadget. He wanted to continue improving. Even if Heavenly Master Xiu Inscriber did not obstruct him, he still needed to find enough sourceboxes to unlock, and Boundless Advanced sourceboxes were not that easy to obtain.
At the same time, Heavenly Master Xiu Inscriber's words made Lu Yin vigilant. Sourceboxes were not that easy to unlock, and there were no identical sourceboxes in the universe. Furthermore, it was not possible to clearly see the exact level of each sourcebox. If one was careless, they could be doomed eternally, just like Dao Bo. If not for Lu Yin, Dao Bo would have been dead by now after touching that red line.
After increasing his Lockbreaking Level, Lu Yin's next step was to visit Cong Ying. He wanted to see why this director was making things difficult for the Continental Shipping Company, but before that, he wanted to find out more about this person.
Before Lu Yin could leave the planet, two familiar figures arrived. They were two classic mushroom-headed people.
"We heard that you were here, so we immediately came to find you." Xiao Chi pushed up his glasses with a cute expression.
Lu Yin asked, "Do you need something from me?"
Xiao Shi hugged a large history book. "I heard that you defeated Wu Dan in a game of chess. Is that true?"
Lu Yin nodded. "I won by a bit."
"Amazing!" the two exclaimed, and their eyes almost turned into stars as they looked at Lu Yin.
"You were too amazing during the Sovereign Tournament. That was the image of the Grim Reaper. One day, your name will be recorded in this book as well," Xiao Shi praised.
Lu Yin felt uncomfortable, as these words sounded like they were cursing him to death.
"You should cut your mushroom hair as well. Nobody understands the romance of a mushroom hairstyle, and with your fame, you'll be able to set the trend." Xiao Chi's eyes lit up.
Xiao Shi nodded continuously with an expectant expression.
Lu Yin thought about how the entire Great Eastern Alliance should cut their mushroom hair, and he felt a chill run down his spine. He did not continue the topic and instead looked at Xiao Shi. "Tell me more about the Grim Reaper."
Xiao Shi flipped through the book. "I've already told you everything I can about the Grim Reaper. Don't be fooled by how big this book is. It actually records countless years of human history, so there's very little content."
"It records all of human history?"
Lu Yin was curious. The existence of the Grim Reaper had been proven to exist, and Lu Yin himself was one of the Grim Reapers. In that case, the contents of this book could be trusted.
"A portion of it, and there should be other books as well.
(This chapter is not finished, so please turn the page.)
The Historical Research Institute at Jie Shan is gone, "Xiao Shi said in distress.
"Are there really no more records about the Grim Reaper?" Lu Yin was unwilling to accept this.
Xiao Shi flipped through the book and read for a while while Xiao Chi stared at Lu Yin and continued to instill the romance of a mushroom hairstyle into him.
After a while, Lu Yin could not resist the urge to burn these two's mushroom hair. Xiao Shi exclaimed, "There's more, but I don't know if it has anything to do with the Grim Reaper."
"Speak." Lu Yin's expression was solemn.
Xiao Shi placed a hand on the book and slowly said, "The Grim Reaper's force field is dark without light. It's like a black smoke signal that warns the world. When the smoke rises, a great war will begin."
Xiao Shi then continued flipping through the book.
"That's it?" Lu Yin asked.
Xiao Shi nodded. "That's it."
"Where's the Grim Reaper's force field?
Is there a specific description? "Lu Yin asked.
Xiao Shi replied, "There's only one sentence, and there's no specific description."
Lu Yin was disappointed. It was like a black smoke signal that warned the world that a great war was about to begin. For this sentence to be recorded in this book and involve the Grim Reaper meant that the great war would not be simple. However, it was too distant, and even human history did not record such a distant event.
Lu Yin thought about it and decided that he could investigate the history of ancient races, such as the Daynight clan or the Seven Courts, to find as much useful information as possible.
He had a guess that the place with dense death energy beneath the Eternal Kingdom might be the Grim Reaper's force field.
When he thought of this possibility, he immediately contacted Elder Zen and asked him to find the location of the Eternal Kingdom that had been destroyed by Mystery Progenitor. However, the information he received was disappointing; Mystery Progenitor had not told him the location of the Eternal Kingdom.
Did he have to personally seek confirmation from Mystery Progenitor?
Lu Yin really wanted to find the Eternal Kingdom and absorb the death energy there to strengthen his Grim Reaper Transformation. At least he would not fall to the level of the Nine Yang Cauldron Transformation and be unable to keep up with his own progress.
Lu Yin bid farewell to the duo and left the Lockbreaker Realm under their expectant and disappointed gazes. He did not know when he would be able to return again.
San Liang was one of the experts who guarded the Realm Mountain, and his power level was close to that of an Emissary. His status in the Realm Mountain was not low, or else he would not have targeted him as a director.
Lu Yin easily found San Liang's residence, as he had no other choice. When he had first merged with San Liang's body, he knew many things about San Liang like the back of his hand.
When San Liang saw Lu Yin arrive, his expression turned solemn. "Alliance Master Lu, please enter."
Lu Yin followed San Liang into the living room, and San Liang asked someone to pour tea for Lu Yin. San Liang's eyes flickered as if he was thinking about something while observing Lu Yin's actions. San Liang had studied psychology for a long time, and he could tell what a person was thinking just by looking at their actions.
Lu Yin was amused, and he picked up his teacup and took a sip. "What do you see from my actions?"
San Liang was stunned. "What do you mean, Alliance Master Lu?"
Lu Yin looked at him and moved the teacup away from him. "What do you see from my actions?"
San Liang's expression changed, not because of Lu Yin's actions, but because Lu Yin actually knew that San Liang was trying to figure out someone's thoughts based on their actions. Lu Yin actually knew that San Liang studied psychology, but that was impossible. No one knew, and that was San Liang's secret.
"Although I don't really study psychology, I can tell that your expression is full of shock. Then, let me tell you something that might surprise you even more." Lu Yin's lips curled up. "I had someone give you Wang Wen's contact information."
San Liang's pupils shrank. "It was you?"
