When he looked back at the Seven Courts, the Summer Blade Mainland's sharpness was unparalleled. When Progenitor Chen had been invincible, he had beaten the Sixth Mainland into silence.
Wanxiang Mountain was full of wisdom and vitality, and Progenitor Hui had been calculating for years. He was an enemy that had not been spared even after billions of years had passed.
The Spirit Void Continent had been struck by lightning, and Progenitor Ku had been unknown, but he had killed his way into the Eternals alone and never returned. Who would remember him? He needed praise, and he only wanted a clear conscience. He only wanted to fight to the death.
Even a Progenitor could die in battle, let alone Lu Yin.
Enemies, clansmen, give up, struggle … Lu Yin thought of too many things in an instant. In the end, he let out a long howl that reverberated through the heavens. He was a direct descendant of the Lu family, and he was a human. He had silently embarked on the path of cultivation from Earth and had become the leader of the Great Eastern Alliance. His life was not something that could be taken by anyone.
He would not place his life in the hands of others, nor would he count on others to be kind.
Only by taking the initiative would he have a chance at survival.
The Xia family had been wary of the Seven Courts, and the Hui family had expressed goodwill. The Ku family, Ce family, and even the You and She families had placed their hopes on him. If the Seven Courts were treated like the Fifth Mainland, then he might be able to join forces against the Astral Trees. But what if he expanded the scope?
Lu Yin remained in place for two full days.
During these two days, no one disturbed him, and he did not contact anyone. He simply stood there and looked at the Seven Courts.
Two days later, Lu Yin regained his senses and let out a long breath. He opened his gadget. "Wang Wen, let's play a game of the entire universe."
…
In the distance, a spacecraft was heading towards Lu Yin. It was from the Xia family.
A youth had his hands clasped behind his back as he looked into space. He watched as the Seven Courts grew smaller and smaller, and he raised a hand as if he wanted to grab the entire place.
"Young Master, you shouldn't have done that," an aged voice sounded from behind him. It was an elder with a serious expression and a slightly hunched back.
The youth lowered his hand and smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, Uncle Jiang. I forgot myself for a moment, but I won't do it again."
Uncle Jiang solemnly said, "We've only taken the first step. Even though our status is high, we're still just puppets. Young Master, you still have a long way to go."
The youth nodded. "I know."
His name was Xia Sheng, a disciple of the Xia Clan. On this day, he went to Jie Mountain to replace Nan Yuan as the new director.
There would always be a seat reserved for the Seven Courts, and this seat would always belong to the Xia Family. Even if the Xia Family did not have a suitable candidate, they would still recommend someone. Xia Sheng was the candidate recommended by the Xia Family.
The one who suggested this was Xia Meng.
Someone reported, "Young Master, there's someone up ahead."
Uncle Jiang frowned. "Avoid? Do we need to report something like this?"
That person wiped the sweat off his forehead and respectfully said, "That person seems to be Lu Yin."
Uncle Jiang's expression changed. "The Great Eastern Alliance's Alliance Master, Director Lu Yin?"
That person nodded.
Xia Sheng's expression was solemn as he recalled everything that had happened to Lu Yin. Everything that Lu Yin had done had left him in the dust, and everything that Lu Yin had done was something that he yearned to achieve.
Uncle Jiang looked at Xia Sheng. "Young Master, your chance has come."
Xia Sheng was puzzled.
Uncle Jiang said, "Lu Yin is not on good terms with the family head, but he has close ties with the other families of the Seven Courts. I received news that he left the She Family two days ago, and he has stayed in every family. The Hui Family's elder, Hui Kong, is especially close to him.
As long as you have Lu Yin's support, you can take the second step. "
Xia Sheng took a deep breath and straightened his clothes. "Then let's meet this legendary sovereign."
As the spacecraft drew closer to Lu Yin, Xia Sheng grew increasingly nervous. He had great ambitions, but he did not have the strength to match them. Lu Yin was the same as him; the only difference was that Lu Yin had the strength to match his ambitions.
As he watched Lu Yin's figure grow clearer and clearer, Xia Sheng's breathing quickened, and the light of ambition in his eyes grew brighter. There would be a day when he would reach Lu Yin's level, and he would definitely be able to do so. At that time, he would return all the unfairness and oppression that the Xia Family had imposed on him.
This person in front of him was the most important step.
"Young Master, let's go," Uncle Jiang said softly.
Xia Sheng nodded, and just as he was about to exit the spacecraft to greet Lu Yin, Lu Yin suddenly disappeared.
Xia Sheng stared blankly at the empty space. Where did he go?
Regardless of how complicated Xia Sheng and the others' emotions were as they prepared to greet Lu Yin, Lu Yin did not notice them at all.
He had received a message from Little Leo and was heading directly to the Aurora Stronghold in the North.
Back in Yiben City, Lu Yin had disguised himself and entered the stronghold, forming a friendship with Little Leo. Even though his identity had been exposed, he had still cooperated with Yiben City, almost forming an alliance with Little Leo.
Just now, Little Leo had contacted Lu Yin and told him that he had accidentally developed a new type of universal armor. This new universal armor not only had the ability to protect the wearer while traveling through outer space, but it also had the ability to accelerate the wearer's movements.
Even a Limiteer would be able to move much faster if they wore it. If a normal person wore it, the increased speed would be so fast that they would not be able to adapt to the changes in their environment. Without the protection of the universal armor, the sudden acceleration could crush a normal person to pieces.
Lu Yin was led by the Second Nightking towards the North, looking at the designs of the universal armor along the way.
Not only could this armor increase the wearer's speed, but it also had a way for the wearer to release attacks. It was completely different from the previous universal armor.
Little Leo was an expert in the field of modified humans, and as the most creative and genius inventor in Yiben City, the things that he had accidentally developed were all very valuable.
When Lu Yin saw this new universal armor, his first thought was to incorporate the smoke from the Smokescreen Mountain Range and combine it with microarray technology. If it could be done, then a Limiteer would be able to solo an Explorer. No, if the microarray technology was successful, then the destructive power it could unleash would not just be at the level of an Explorer.
The more Lu Yin thought about it, the more excited he became, and he could not help but urge the Second Nightking to speed up.
…
The Aurora Stronghold had an important part of Lu Yin's plan, which was the microarray technology that they had secretly developed.
Lu Yin had started this plan not long after he had returned to the Fifth Mainland from the Astral Tree Domain, and he felt that it was time to see the results.
Lu Yin's arrival had been unannounced.
Chairman Zhi was shocked when he heard that Lu Yin had arrived, and he hurriedly led the upper echelons of the Aurora Company out to welcome him.
With Lu Yin's current status, he was treated this way no matter where he went.
Chairman Zhi chuckled when he saw Lu Yin. "Alliance Leader Lu, why didn't you inform us beforehand?
I would have been prepared. We didn't know until you appeared outside the Aurora Stronghold. That was too negligent. "
Lu Yin smiled. "Chairman Zhi, you're too polite. I just happened to pass by and wanted to rest inside."
"Haha, don't talk about resting.
Even a year isn't a problem. Alliance Leader Lu, please. "
Following Chairman Zhi, Lu Yin entered the Aurora Stronghold once more.
Last time, Lu Yin had brought Flying Willow with him, but this time, he had brought the Second Nightking with him.
The Second Nightking's appearance greatly increased the pressure on the Aurora Stronghold, and such a powerhouse would feel oppressed wherever he went.
Chairman Zhi glanced at the Second Nightking several times, but Lu Yin did not introduce him, so he did not ask.
"There's a powerhouse with a power level of a million," the Second Nightking transmitted to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin glanced in the Second Nightking's direction. The first time he had come here, Mr. Liu Ye had said that this place made him feel a sense of danger. It should be that powerhouse with a power level of a million.
To be able to take root in the Neoverse and run the universe's largest spacecraft company, Lu Yin was not surprised that the Aurora Corporation had a powerhouse with a power level of a million.
In the past, he would have been amazed, but now, unless there was a half-ancestor overseeing the place, no one could pressure him.
As long as the Second Nightking wanted to, he could easily flatten the Aurora Stronghold.
Among the powerhouses below the half-ancestor level in the Fifth Mainland, the Second Nightking could be ranked in the top ten, and he had absolute control.
This time, Chairman Zhi was accompanied by Master Zhi to welcome Lu Yin. This young master of the Aurora Corporation had also participated in the Star Tower contest, but unfortunately, he had been nothing more than a minor character who did not have much of a presence. It had been the same in the Sovereign Tournament as well, and seeing him reminded Lu Yin of racing.
There were many engineers in the Aurora Stronghold, and Chairman Zhi introduced Biaozi, the chief engineer of the Aurora Stronghold. He was a sturdy old man who was three meters tall. His name was also very strange and did not match his status at all, but it did match his figure. Wan Gong did not appear.
"Alliance Master Lu, your Micro Battle Armor was created by me." This burly, three-meter-tall chief consultant grinned, revealing a mouthful of black teeth as he spoke in a cheerful manner.
Lu Yin was astonished. "You're the little giant?"
Biaozi nodded, but most of his one-meter long beard had been charred. "That's right."
Lu Yin smiled. "I never thought that the Fifth Mainland would have little giants as well. What's your relationship with the Sixth Mainland's little giants?"
Biaozi was curious. "The Sixth Mainland has little giants as well?"
"Yes, the Arrow Sect," Lu Yin replied.
Biaozi shook his head. "I don't know, but it should be different."
Lu Yin did not pursue the matter. The Sixth Mainland not only had little giants, but also big giants, which was very normal.
"Chairman Zhi, aside from passing by, there's another reason for my visit. Do you still remember our agreement?" Lu Yin looked at Chairman Zhi.
Chairman Zhi's eyes lit up. "It's a collaboration, right? Alliance Leader Lu will provide the rare materials, and the Aurora Corporation will build the standard spacecraft?"
Lu Yin smiled. "Change it a bit. Aside from the standard spacecraft, I also need to build this." He then took out Little Leo's blueprint and passed it to Chairman Zhi.
Chairman Zhi took it and looked at the blueprint. His eyes went wide. "This is?"
Biaozi was much taller than Chairman Zhi, and he was standing behind Chairman Zhi. He also saw the blueprint and snatched it over. "A new universal armor?
Interesting, it actually incorporates acceleration equipment, and it doesn't put too much of a burden on the armor either. The core parts can be made with 10,000 crystal points, but it's best to make them with 20,000 crystal points to prevent damage in battle. The entire armor can be made with 7,000 crystal points. I never thought that there would be people who would research such a thankless thing. They really have nothing better to do. "
Chairman Zhi looked at Lu Yin apologetically. "My apologies, Alliance Leader Lu. Elder Biaozi is obsessed with manufacturing, and he fell for the new blueprint when he saw it. Please don't mind him."
