When he thought of this, Xi Gu immediately contacted the council. He wanted to use this as evidence to accuse Lu Yin of abusing his position to avenge a personal grudge. He had intentionally released the Corpse King so that he could use the expeditionary army to take revenge on his enemies. However, this proposal was rejected before the council could even make it to the council. For the Hall of Honor, the most important thing right now was to eliminate the Corpse King. This was not just for the Hall of Honor, but also for the entire human race.
Eliminating the Corpse King had always been the Hall of Honor's goal, and nothing else was important. Even if Lu Yin had intentionally released the Corpse King, his contribution in destroying the Neohuman Alliance's Innerverse Headquarters was still real. No one could afford to offend him at this time. Even the South Wellspring Council's director, Mr. Right, and the others who were hostile to Lu Yin did not want to cause trouble at this time.
This was not looking for trouble; it was looking for trouble.
Xi Gu did not want to become Lu Yin's sword, but he had to follow the list that Lu Yin had given him. Otherwise, even if Lu Yin did not cause trouble for him, the entire Hall of Honor would.
Xi Gu could only sullenly follow the list. As for the smaller flowzones, they could only count themselves unlucky. Regardless of whether there was a Corpse King or not, the expeditionary army would still go through them.
During this time, the Blazing Mist Flowzone's tributary ship was sealed off.
No, everyone would be inspected, including the tributary ship.
This was just a small lesson that Lu Yin had given to the smaller flowzones. Coupled with the Crimson Moon Empire's and Seal Pavilion Sect's fates, Lu Yin believed that after this battle, no small flowzone would dare to take the lead and help the Sword Sect resist the Great Eastern Alliance.
It would be too easy for Lu Yin to deal with them.
In outer space, Lu Yin quietly stood there, waiting for something.
Not long after, his gadget rang. Lu Yin glanced at it and accepted the call.
"Video? Where did you get this?"
An old voice asked. It was Elder Chan, and Lu Yin passed the video to him.
"I accidentally discovered it. That Corpse King did not notice that it was being filmed."
"Who else saw it?"
"No, I sent it to you after I saw it."
Elder Chan was silent for a moment. "The Genesis Court should not have cooperated with the Neohuman Alliance."
"Why?" Lu Yin asked.
Elder Chan did not answer. Instead, he said, "Don't give the video to anyone else. Destroy it."
Lu Yin said, "Elder Chan, if you know about the Cosmic Tree, then you must know about the Eternals." Elder Chan quietly and did not seem surprised.
"The Eternals are humanity's greatest enemies. Even Progenitor Chen and Progenitor's era. Since we know their whereabouts, why don't we can't to the Genesis?"
Elder Chan sighed. "The Technocracy is very special. If you want to enter, you have to force your way in. The Eternal Sky Island's disciple assessment is to force your way into the Technocracy. You should know that once you force your way in, how will you be able to find out if the Genesis Court is working with the Neohuman Alliance?
That would alert the enemy, but if we don't force our way in, we won't be able to enter. "
"I have a way in," Lu Yin said.
Elder Chan was surprised. "What method?"
"The Luo Emperor is the ruler of the Ross Empire, and he's from the Technocracy. He knows that there's a route between Ironborn City and the Genesis Court that allows one to enter and exit the Technocracy. I've already locked him up in Kun's Swamp, and as long as we bring him along, we'll be able to enter the Technocracy."
"Alright, I'll make the arrangements." Elder Chan was excited, as he had never thought that Lu Yin would actually be able to find a way to enter the Technocracy.
But the Hall of Honor did not know about this. In the end, Emperor Luo's status was not high enough to attract the Hall of Honor's attention.
Lu Yin hurriedly said, "Elder Chan, I have a request. I want to go to the Technocracy personally."
Elder Chan was shocked. "Personally?"
"Yes, personally."
"Why?
Do you know how dangerous the Technocracy is? "
Of course, Lu Yin knew, as he had gone there once. If not for Huikong, he would not have been able to return even if he had not died. But there was no other choice. The Cosmic Tree was a threat, and he had to deal with it personally. Others could not do it, nor did they have the ability.
He did not want to be alarmed and afraid that a Half-Ancestor would one day come to the Cosmic Tree and destroy him.
Half-Ancestors were not rare in the Four Cardinal Scales, and it was not impossible for them to send one to the Fifth Mainland to secretly destroy him. They could do it, and they were willing to pay the price.
After all, the first to arrive was an expert who could defeat Huikong.
Lu Yin could not ask a Half-Ancestor to protect him, as that was unrealistic. Even if his senior brother, the head inquisitor, was present, Lu Yin would not feel safe against a Half-Ancestor from the Four Cardinal Scales. The Second Nightking and Emperor Liu were like ants.
Lu Yin could not wait passively; he had to take the initiative. He had to take this risk, or else he would only face terror and death.
If the Four Cardinal Scales could even banish the Lu family, then there was no need to mention him.
"No matter how dangerous it is, I still have to go. Emperor Luo is cunning, and he might still be connected to the Technocracy. That's why I locked him up in Kun's Swamp. Only I can control him. Even Elder Chan might not be able to control him. The human heart is unpredictable." Lu Yin gave a very far-fetched reason.
How was that possible?
Elder Chan muttered to himself.
Lu Yin waited for a while, but Elder Chan did not reply. He continued, "Senior, I'm willing to take the risk. Please let me go. I've stayed in the Technocracy before, and I'm not unfamiliar with that place."
"I don't know why you insist on going to the Technocracy, but I have to remind you of something." Elder Chan's tone was solemn. "The Technocracy has a power that even us old fellows have no choice but to retreat."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "Us old fellows" were referring to Half-Ancestors. The Technocracy had a power that even Half-Ancestors had to retreat, which was within Lu Yin's expectations. Otherwise, the Technocracy would not have been at war with the Human Domain for so many years.
At the same time, he was also certain that the power that even Half-Ancestors had to retreat from could not be casually released. Otherwise, Hui Kong would not have been fine after staying there for so many years. Highsage Leon, Highsage Shen Wei, and the other disciples of Eternal Sky Island would not have been tested in the Technocracy.
Lu Yin had no other choice. If he had a choice, he would naturally want someone else to take his place in going to the Technocracy. However, he might not trust anyone who was qualified to take his place, and those he trusted might not be qualified to go. He was not the kind of person who would scheme against his own people and send those he trusted to their deaths.
He could only take this risk on his own.
If he succeeded, then even if he could not stop the Four Cardinal Scales from coming to this region of space to kill him, he would at least be able to immediately know that someone from the Four Cardinal Scales had come.
"I've decided to go to the Technocracy," Lu Yin said with certainty.
Elder Chan muttered to himself for a moment. "I will allocate some people for you. At the same time, this will be considered a mission for the Hall of Honor. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, the Hall of Honor will remember your contributions."
Lu Yin replied, "Thank you, Elder Chan."
"It will take time to allocate people. Think about it again. With your innate gift, your passing of the three stages, and your obtaining of the Origin Item, your chances of becoming a Half-Ancestor are extremely high. I do not wish for you to die because of this senseless risk. Regardless of whether it is for the Fifth Mainland, yourself, or your loved ones, it will be a loss. Think about it carefully." Elder Chan ended the call.
Given his status, the fact that he had repeatedly dissuaded Lu Yin was enough to show how important he was to Lu Yin, but that was all he could do. He would not stop Lu Yin from going to the Technocracy to investigate, as Lu Yin's attitude showed that even if he did not cooperate with the Hall of Honor, he might still go there himself. If that was the case, then it would be better for the Hall of Honor to transfer some experts to work with him.
Although Lu Yin had a high chance of becoming a Half-Ancestor, and Elder Chan and the others would protect him in the Fifth Mainland for the sake of the greater good, they would not become his babysitter just for the chance of him becoming a Half-Ancestor. In the end, it was just a possibility, and they could not see the future.
If they could see the future and confirm that Lu Yin would definitely become a Half-Ancestor, then things would be different. Even Elder Chan would personally protect him, but unfortunately, they could not see it. They themselves had Origin Items, and they also had the possibility of becoming a Half-Ancestor. Lu Yin was at most the same as them, just younger. It was not enough for them to put down their dignity and cultivation time to protect him.
Cultivation was just like that. Everyone had their own path, and no one would be responsible for others. No matter how great one's innate gift was, no matter how high one's expectations were, there would still be dangers that one would have to experience. Without experiencing these dangers, how could one become a Half-Ancestor?
This was a trial that Lu Yin had to go through. Elder Chan could not stop him, and he would not stop him.
Lu Yin put down his gadget and looked to the west. In the end, he would have to make another trip to the Technocracy. This time, his target was the Genesis Court.
Within the Bason Flowzone, the Great Eastern Alliance's First Allied Army had taken over and was frantically searching for Corpse Kings.
Lu Yin returned to his spacecraft, where Balsam praised him. "Alliance Master Lu, the Great Eastern Alliance has contributed greatly to the Human Domain in this battle. The Neohuman Alliance has suffered heavy losses."
Lu Yin laughed. "Not really. We just took care of a few Corpse Kings. The Neohuman Alliance didn't lose anything at all. They didn't even leave behind a Corpse King that had a power level of a million."
Balsam smiled. "Any huge object needs to be operated in coordination with various components. This is the most important place for the Neohuman Alliance to plan for the Innerverse and Outerverse. If I'm not wrong, then this should be their headquarters in the Innerverse and Outerverse. Not only did they lose a few Corpse Kings, but they also lost countless years of the Neohuman Alliance's plans for the Innerverse and Outerverse. With this place destroyed, it should be very difficult for the Neohuman Alliance to obtain new Corpse Kings from the Innerverse and Outerverse."
Lu Yin looked up at the sky, as this was not bad. According to statistics, more than a thousand Corpse Kings had been killed in the Bason Flowzone. This number was insignificant compared to the Eternals on the other side of the Astral Tree Domain, but this was the Fifth Mainland. How many Corpse Kings could the Neohuman Alliance possibly have?
A stable Flowzone that could provide Corpse Kings was incomparably important to the Neohuman Alliance.
Lu Yin had basically destroyed the Neohuman Alliance's method of producing Corpse Kings in the Innerverse and Outerverse. Even if the Neohuman Alliance had other strongholds, they would not be able to compare to this one. This loss would indeed be great.
However, when it came to experts, the Neohuman Alliance had not lost anything at all, which was what gave Lu Yin a headache.
He had not forgotten about the three thousand major realms within the Glory Realm, nor had he forgotten about that drop of water. One major realm had been destroyed by the life poison. The Neohuman Alliance had not only acted against the Innerverse and Outerverse, but they had also interfered with the three thousand major realms. Their method of producing Corpse Kings was not limited to just the Innerverse and Outerverse.
Only by completely destroying them would the Neohuman Alliance be able to deal a serious blow.
