He continued rolling the die, but this time it was a five, which was useless. Two, which was useless. Again.
The fourth time, Lu Yin rolled a four, and he continued cultivating Sirius.
Another half a year passed.
Lu Yin rested for another ten days before continuing to roll the die.
To outsiders, Lu Yin had been in seclusion for close to two months, but to cultivators, two months was nothing.
However, to Wen Yao and Wen Sansi, it was a long time, and they had waited for two months.
Lu Yin watched as the die slowly stopped rolling; it was a six again. His luck was too good this time, and he had actually rolled a six three times.
This time, Lu Yin did not merge into a person's body. Instead, he merged into a monster, a hundred-meter-tall Corpse King.
He looked down at the numerous Corpse Kings beneath him and then looked up at the waterfall in the distance. This was the Starfall Sea, outside of the Horizontal Black Hole.
Lu Yin fused with a hundred-meter-tall Corpse King that was specialized in destroying sourcebox arrays. This Corpse King had a power level of over 500,000, and it slowly made its way up the waterfall. Of course, its destination was the Sixth Mainland.
Another Corpse King. Lu Yin felt helpless, as there were too many Eternals. The Fifth Mainland, the Sixth Mainland, and even the Cosmic Tree Realm were all included. If he merged into an Emissary's body, there was a high chance that he would end up with a Corpse King.
Right, this was the Starfall Sea. Lu Yin looked towards the south. If he merged with a Corpse King that was close to the Grayweed Continent, wouldn't that mean that he could control the Corpse King to go to Zhongshan Dojo and come into contact with that fist mark?
There was hope, but that did not mean that he could comprehend the rest of the Emptiness Palm. He himself had not comprehended it before, but there was still hope. Lu Yin grew excited and withdrew from the fusion.
This giant Corpse King was too far away from the Grayweed Continent. Even if he used up all of his star essence, he might not be able to enter the Grayweed Continent, let alone the Zhongshan Dojo and the fist mark. It all depended on luck.
After withdrawing from the fusion, Lu Yin still had three more chances to roll the die. He did not want to waste them, so he continued.
Once, twice, and on his third attempt, he rolled a four and entered the Time Stop Space to cultivate Sirius.
Half a year had passed in the Time Stop Space, but only one second had passed in the outside world.
Lu Yin had used his die to cultivate the Sirius Art for more than two years, and he had increased the number of stars in his hand to 5,700. This was eight times more than when he had first returned to the Fifth Mainland, which meant that the power of his Sirius Palm Strike had increased by quite a bit, and he had also learned Sirius' swordsmanship.
Sirius' swordsmanship used stars to form swords, and he wondered if it could be used in conjunction with the Thirteen Swords.
While Lu Yin was in seclusion, Ku Wei accompanied Leng Yan to the Innerverse Giant Financial Group's headquarters.
"Cold beauty, where's the giant?
Over the past two days, you've been showing me all kinds of services. Brother Wei isn't interested in any of these. I just want to see giants, "Ku Wei said. He believed that he had come with a mission.
Leng Yan's eyes flashed. "The giant's temper isn't too good. Please excuse him."
Ku Wei did not care. "It's fine. We'll talk about it when we meet."
Leng Yan nodded and took Ku Wei to one of the planets under the control of the Giant Financial Group.
The Giant Financial Group's headquarters was surrounded by dozens of planets, and one of them was inhabited by giants who were extremely intelligent and could develop technology.
The environment on this planet was completely different from that of a normal planet, and the technology here was extremely advanced.
The planet was extremely large.
Ku Wei looked up and saw an enormous flight of stairs, as well as the enormous tables and chairs in the distance. He gulped; this place was really huge.
Some giants passed by, but they weren't curious about Ku Wei and Leng Yan. There were many giants in the space station, but most of them were ordinary people.
"I'll take you to see President Qing," Leng Yan said.
Ku Wei nodded. "Please."
It was a strange feeling to walk through a giant's kingdom. Ku Wei had experienced it before in Progenitor Chen's tomb, but the guardian giants there didn't seem to have any intelligence, and their residences had been very simple. They had only lived in large stone houses, but this was a technological kingdom.
Everything was huge, as if a human's technological kingdom had been magnified a hundred times.
"There's a giant kingdom here, but the outside world doesn't know about it?" Ku Wei was curious.
Leng Yan replied, "President Qing has decreed that the giants are not allowed to leave this place, and they are not allowed to leave the Giant Financial Group."
"That's wise. Many people outside aren't friendly to the giants," Ku Wei said.
Leng Yan glanced at Ku Wei. "Are you friendly to the giants?"
Ku Wei replied, "Of course. Otherwise, why would Master send me here? I'm good at communicating with the giants."
"Is that so?" Leng Yan obviously didn't believe him.
Not long after, Ku Wei met the true leader of the Giant Financial Group, Qing Kong, with Leng Yan leading the way. He was a very intelligent giant who was at least a hundred meters tall.
Qing Kong's reception of Ku Wei was quite grand. The grand hall was brightly lit, and the giants were dressed in formal attire just like the ordinary people. They exchanged pleasantries, which was quite strange. Ku Wei and Qing Kong sat across from each other at an enormous dining table. The table was very normal to the giants, but to Ku Wei, it could be used for a race.
The tableware in front of him was huge, and there was a huge plate of unknown barbecued meat that completely blocked Ku Wei's view.
In the distance, Leng Yan almost laughed out loud.
Ku Wei soared into the air and passed by the barbecued meat to look at Qing Kong. Qing Kong looked at Ku Wei with interest, and the giants around them all looked over from time to time.
"Um, senior," Ku Wei said.
"You can call me President Qing or Boss Qing. I like it when people call me that," Qing Kong said with a loud voice and a smile. He did his best to appear friendly. If not for his giant face, he would have looked more like a mature businessman.
Ku Wei coughed and was about to speak when a giant woman pushed a cup of wine over. She shook it slightly, and a few drops of wine spilled out, almost drowning Ku Wei.
"President Qing, you should know the reason why my master sent me here," Ku Wei said.
Qing Kong nodded. "Humans are suspicious and are worried that we giants are developing too quickly. This is understandable. We cooperated with the Great Eastern Alliance in the beginning because we hoped to be protected. The fact that Alliance Master Lu sent you here proves that he is willing to cooperate with us despite his doubts. I am very grateful to him."
Ku Wei smiled. "That's good, that's good."
"Come, let us welcome our guest from afar, the personal disciple of the Great Eastern Alliance's Alliance Master, Mister Ku Wei!" Qing Kong stood up and shouted. All the giants around them cheered, and the sound waves hurt Ku Wei's ears. Leng Yan did not feel good either, as she was not used to interacting with these giants.
The meal ended amidst the giants' enthusiastic cheers, and Ku Wei met with Qing Kong in private.
Facing the sea, Qing Kong knew how to enjoy himself as he sat down on a giant chair. As for Ku Wei, the chair was too big for him.
It was even bigger than a house.
"It isn't easy for us giants to survive, especially those giants who don't have any intelligence. They kill humans like wild beasts, which makes our situation even worse. A long time ago, the Hall of Honor's board of directors decided to wipe out the giants' technology. Fortunately, even though the technology was wiped out, we were still able to survive. Over the years, we have developed our technology to its current state.
"The Giant Financial Group only wants to give the homeless giants a place to stay. That's all. For this reason, we will endure even if the Innerverse's various powers exploit us." Qing Kong then looked at Ku Wei solemnly. "If Alliance Master Lu is truly willing to accept us, then the Giant Financial Group will definitely do our best to help the Great Eastern Alliance. We will not cause any trouble for him. Please convey my attitude to Alliance Master Lu."
Ku Wei quietly listened to Qing Kong's words and thought about it. "President Qing, Master does not have any prejudice against the giants. He sent me here to express his attitude."
"That's good," Qing Kong said.
"President Qing, do you really understand what I just said?
What I meant was that I was sent here to represent Master's attitude, "Ku Wei emphasized.
President Qing did not understand. "Isn't Alliance Master Lu using Brother Ku Wei's words to express his attitude?"
Ku Wei took a deep breath. It was time. He could not hide the fact that he had transformed into a giant forever. Humans might be prejudiced against him, but these giants would not be. The current Ku Wei was actually more of the same race as these giants.
"The chair is too big, and it's not comfortable," Ku Wei lamented.
Qing Kong immediately ordered, "Someone, change a chair for Brother Ku Wei. A human chair."
"There's no need," Ku Wei replied. Then, under Qing Kong's stunned gaze, Ku Wei transformed into a giant that was about the same size as Qing Kong and about a hundred meters tall.
During his first transformation, Ku Wei had become about the same height as the guardian giant, which was about a thousand meters tall. Now, as time passed, Ku Wei had become more and more proficient at transforming into a giant. Of course, this was only done in secret, as no one had seen him do it. He could freely control his size, and at his largest, he was even larger than his first transformation.
With a clang, a female giant behind Ku Wei was stunned. She stared at Ku Wei in a daze, her worldview toppling.
Even Qing Kong was stunned. He even stood up in shock. "Ku … Brother Ku Wei, what are you doing?"
Ku Wei grinned. "This is more like it."
Qing Kong's mouth was wide open as he stared at Ku Wei's smile. He was completely stunned, and it took him a while to react. He waved his hand and had the female giant back down. He stared at Ku Wei and asked, "How did you do it?
You're not human? "
"You're the one who's not human." Ku Wei rolled his eyes and stood up. He stretched comfortably and looked at Qing Kong. "Looking at you guys makes me feel like we're the same kind. This feeling is too strange."
Qing Kong suddenly grabbed Ku Wei's arm and squeezed it. Ku Wei did not feel any pain, as Qing Kong's power level was only around 200,000. These giants who were proficient in creating technology did not have high combat power, so Ku Wei could fight ten of them at once. No, he could fight a hundred of them.
"You're different from us. You're a giant," Qing Kong blurted out. He looked at Ku Wei in shock and hurriedly asked, "Did you obtain giant blood somewhere?"
Ku Wei was confused. "Giant?
I don't understand. I've been to Progenitor Chen's tomb and entered the guardian giant's blood pool. "
"No, the guardian giant's beasts don't have the ability to transform you. Think again. Did you obtain extraordinary blood?" Qing Kong asked.
Ku Wei shook his head.
