Is that your story? "Lu Yin asked.
The Luo Emperor's eyes flickered with a faint red light. "I stole the crystal and used the technology inside to raise my attack power to over 500,000. It took me too long."
"How did you get to the Blazing Mist Flowzone from the Technocracy?" Lu Yin was curious, as the distance was quite far.
"The Technocracy is controlled by the mainframe, but it's split into two factions: the main city and the Genesis Court. There's a passage between the two factions that leaves the Technocracy. Although it's difficult, I was still able to escape with my power level of over 400,000."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, but he did not interrupt.
The Luo Emperor continued, "After escaping the Technocracy, I came to the distant Blazing Mist Flowzone to avoid being hunted down. I replaced the Ross Empire's ruler and became the Luo Emperor. I spent many years using the technology inside the crystal to raise the power of my weapons to over 500,000. I then split the Blazing Mist Flowzone with the Blaze Realm and the sylvan dragon clan."
"Where's the crystal?" Lu Yin asked.
The Luo Emperor's gaze landed on Lu Yin. "It's eroded."
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes and stared at the Luo Emperor.
The Luo Emperor replied, "I'm not lying. It's really eroded. However, I've already grasped the technology inside."
Lu Yin laughed. "This sort of life-saving technique isn't new. Back then, Giant Technology also developed a destructive power that surpassed that of an Emissary, but it was destroyed by the Hall of Honor. The Hall of Honor definitely has similar technology, so I think it's very simple."
"I didn't think of using this method to save my life. The only thing that could have saved my life was that route."
Lu Yin fell silent.
"Although technology can create destructive power that surpasses that of an Emissary, the requirements for the materials are too high. Even with my power level of over 400,000 and the materials I took from the Technocracy, I was only able to raise myself to this level after so many years. I can't even create an android that surpasses the Emissary level. The Technocracy is the same."
"They've long since developed technology that surpasses the Emissary level, but they're limited by the materials. This method is too narrow, and you should know that. Otherwise, whether it's the Technocracy or the Hall of Honor, Emissary androids would be everywhere."
Lu Yin knew this, but the Hall of Honor wasn't stupid. After destroying Giant Technology, they would definitely take the technology with them. However, he hadn't heard of them creating an Emissary level android in all these years, which meant that the materials required were extremely rare. Lu Yin believed that the Hall of Honor had definitely created some Emissary level androids, but there wouldn't be many of them.
As for the Technocracy, when they had joined forces with the Sixth Mainland to attack the Outerverse in the Endless Weave, the people who had fought against them had all been androids. Their absolute experts had surpassed the Envoys, but their numbers had been limited.
If even the Technocracy was like this, there was no need to even mention the Human Domain.
It was unrealistic to expect this kind of technology to mass produce experts. Even if he had the dice, the possibility was not high.
The Luo Sovereign's life was saved. However, like the Dragon Master, he had become a part of the Great Eastern Alliance.
He definitely did not trust these two experts, which was why he had split up all of the Ross Empire's cultivators and had them join the various allied armies of the Great Eastern Alliance. At the same time, he had allowed the Great Eastern Alliance's people to take over the Blazing Mist Flowzone.
News of the Great Eastern Alliance occupying the Blazing Mist Flowzone shook the entire Fifth Mainland. As the Great Eastern Alliance entered the Innerverse, countless people in the Innerverse felt as if they were witnessing the emergence of a colossus.
Liu Qianjue was most concerned about this. The Daynight clan had been overthrown, and they had sealed themselves off from the rest of the Innerverse.
The Sword Sect was the strongest, and no one could compete with them. However, the Great Eastern Alliance's entry made him feel as if there was a knife at his back.
The Great Eastern Alliance had taken over the Blazing Mist Flowzone and forced the Sylvan Dragon Clan and the Ross Empire to submit to them. The number of experts under their command had greatly increased, and without mentioning anything else, just the Dragon Master and the Luo Sovereign were enough to make the Sword Sect feel uneasy. These were two Envoys, and there were also Enlighters and Hunters.
The more Liu Qianjue thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He had used his sect master's methods to forcefully suppress those who were unwilling to join forces with the Beast Tamers Flowzone. The Mountain God had done the same, but the two of them suddenly realized that Ling Qiu had changed. She had no intention of joining forces with the Great Eastern Alliance.
Liu Qianjue and the Mountain God contacted Ling Qiu separately, but Ling Qiu was only delaying them, and she did not tell them the reason.
Ling Qiu also had her own plans. She knew that the Sirius Sect wanted to deal with the Great Eastern Alliance, so she was no longer in a hurry. Instead, she began to make some calculations. She hoped that the Sword Sect and the Beast Tamers Flowzone would fight it out with the Great Eastern Alliance, and in the end, the Sirius Sect would deal with the Great Eastern Alliance. The Lingling clan would then be able to suppress the Sword Sect and the Beast Tamers Flowzone and become the strongest clan in the Innerverse.
This was the desire of countless people in the Lingling clan. They had wanted to replace the Daynight clan in the past, but they had been powerless to do so. Now, this was a heaven-sent opportunity.
No matter how much the Mountain God cursed, Ling Qiu pretended not to hear him. She focused on waiting for the Sirius Sect's reinforcements.
Without the Lingling clan, even if the Sword Sect and the Beast Tamers Flowzone joined forces, they would not be a threat to Lu Yin. If they did not join forces, then they could only watch as Lu Yin grew stronger until he eventually became a threat to them.
They were now stuck in a dilemma.
Lu Yin no longer cared about them. Even if they joined forces, they would not take any action in the short term. However, they should be able to seal off the Blazing Mist Flowzone's perimeter, and he could leave that to Wang Wen to deal with.
At this moment, he received an unexpected call from Madam Red.
Lu Yin had never imagined that Madam Red would actually contact him.
On the screen, Madam Red was alluring and mature. Her style was completely different from Madam Nalan's. One was seductive yet domineering, while the other was graceful yet seductive.
"Lu Yin, Alliance Master Lu." Madam Red smiled at Lu Yin, and her gaze was overbearing and sharp.
Lu Yin looked at her. "We've met before, Master of the Galloping Horse Villa."
Madam Red smiled. "You're from the Starfall Sea. You joined forces with the Sea King to deal with me, but because of you, everyone fled. I have a deep impression of you."
"I have a deep impression of you as well, especially when you captured the giant's bloodline. They're my people." Lu Yin's tone was unpleasant.
Madam Red coldly replied, "That's a misunderstanding. When I captured them, I didn't know that they were your people."
Lu Yin sneered, but he did not say anything.
"After I found out that the giant's bloodline was your people, I wanted to release them, but Alliance Master Lu acted too quickly. You took them away from the Galloping Horse Villa without saying anything. Aren't you looking down on me too much?" Madam Red retorted.
Lu Yin raised a brow. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Madam Red stared into Lu Yin's eyes. "How did the giant's bloodline return to Alliance Master Lu's side?"
"Do I have an obligation to tell you?"
"Alliance Master Lu, you don't have to tell me. However, it's not a good habit to become someone else's pawn."
Lu Yin was astonished. "What do you mean?"
Madam Red replied, "Did those people who took the giant's bloodline away from the Galloping Horse Villa not tell Alliance Master Lu that they also took away someone else — the Sea King."
Lu Yin frowned. "The Sea King?"
"Alliance Master Lu, don't tell me that you don't know that the Sea King is in the Sword Sect's hands. News of this has already spread."
Lu Yin's eyes flickered, and he remained silent.
Madam Red's eyes flickered, as it seemed that the matter with the Galloping Horse Villa really had nothing to do with Lu Yin. Otherwise, he would not have allowed the giant's bloodline to appear, as he would not have been able to conceal it in time. The Sword Sect had a good method of throwing the giant's bloodline to Lu Yin and using it to divert attention so that the Galloping Horse Villa could cause trouble for the Great Eastern Alliance.
If Qingtan had not coincidentally overheard the conversation between Liu Ran and the Sword Sect, then she would have fallen for the trap. The Great Eastern Alliance had always been stuck in the Outerverse, and as long as there was a chance, the Sixth Mainland would definitely chase these people away. The Sword Sect's move had given the Galloping Horse Villa a reason to attack the Great Eastern Alliance, but it had also dealt a blow to the Great Eastern Alliance.
If not for Qingtan and if not for the fact that Madam Red wanted to make a deal with Lu Yin, then she would have been fooled. The more the Sword Sect tried to be mysterious, the more it implied that the Galloping Horse Villa was behind this.
"What business does Madam have with me this time?"
Lu Yin asked, no longer mentioning the giant's bloodline. His expression was sullen, as if he had been tricked by someone, but he could not describe the feeling.
Madam Red was well aware of this, and she replied, "You're underestimating the Innerverse, and you're also underestimating the Sword Sect."
Lu Yin replied, "Madam, are you trying to educate me about the Fifth Mainland's common sense?"
"Common sense does not represent the Innerverse, and what you see is only the surface. I can say with certainty that whether it's the Sword Sect, the Daynight clan, or even the Wen family, they all have their own trump cards. You've already angered everyone, and you've just been tricked. It's not just the Innerverse that has their eyes on you, but also the Neoverse. You can't stay in the Innerverse any longer."
Lu Yin did not mind. "Madam, are you aware of my background in the Fifth Mainland?"
"Of course, the biggest backer is the Hall of Honor. However, the Hall of Honor can't possibly go against the will of the entire Fifth Mainland. What your Great Eastern Alliance is doing right now has crossed some people's bottom line. They'll do everything they can to chase you out," the Red Madame said.
Lu Yin was curious. "Madam, can you give me an example?"
Madam Red and Lu Yin looked at each other. "I don't need an example, but I can tell you that someone has already contacted us in secret and asked us to immediately take over the entire Outerverse. Your Great Eastern Alliance's people won't be able to reach the Blazing Mist Flowzone in time, and at least half of them will be trapped in the Outerverse and controlled by my Sixth Mainland. Under such circumstances, how will you deal with the Innerverse?"
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. He had considered such a situation before, which was why after the Southern Weave had been taken over by the Sixth Mainland, Master Yuan had remained at the border between the Sixth Mainland and the Great Eastern Alliance in order to prevent the Sixth Mainland from suddenly making a move.
If the Sixth Mainland really wanted to immediately take over the entire Outerverse, then Lu Yin would indeed be in trouble, but it would not be too big of a problem. The Fifth Mainland was in a civil war, and the Sixth Mainland was not peaceful either. Chaotic battles between the three Progenitor Regions were common, and even fierce battles between the Bloodburn Realm and the Blackblood Realm within the same Progenitor Region were common.
Back then, the Sixth Mainland had joined forces to invade the Innerverse because of their own interests. Now, as long as Lu Yin could get the Hall of Honor's full support and state that he would definitely leave the Outerverse, the Sixth Mainland would not risk war and immediately take over the Outerverse.
This was just Madam Red's threat, and Lu Yin also acted as if he had indeed been threatened.
Madam Red saw that Lu Yin's gaze was heavy, and his expression was solemn. There was even a hint of lingering fear. She smiled charmingly. "Alliance Master Lu, is there anything you wish to say?"
"What do you want?" Lu Yin retorted, feigning anger as he glared at Madam Red.
