Liu Shaoge was a scheming person, and he had been able to climb from a normal person to his current position. He had even joined the Frigid Immortal Sect, gotten close to Old Whiteghost, suppressed Yu Chen, and even contacted Hidden Earth. This person's intelligence was definitely not below Wei Rong's.
Lu Yin believed that Liu Shaoge had recognized him, but Liu Shaoge had not dared to expose him.
If Lu Yin had been exposed, he would have dragged Liu Shaoge down with him before he died. Liu Shaoge did not dare to do such a thing.
However, that did not mean that Lu Yin would not do the same.
Rather than being brought to a human planet in the Technocracy, Lu Yin would rather follow this group of people from the Astral Trees. In any case, he would be under the Technocracy's surveillance, and it would be difficult for him to escape back to the Human Domain even if he left.
Lu Yin stared at Liu Shaoge for a long time.
"Hey, you, what are you looking at?" one of the cultivators shouted at Lu Yin.
Everyone else was submissive, and Lu Yin followed suit. However, he continued to stare at Liu Shaoge.
"I'm talking to you. What are you looking at?"
The cultivator raised his hand and whipped Lu Yin with his star energy.
Lu Yin pretended to fall.
The commotion attracted Liu Shaoge's attention, and he looked over and met Lu Yin's gaze once more. His heart sank. "Take him with us."
"Yes," the cultivator replied respectfully and wrapped his whip around Lu Yin before tossing him onto a giant paper boat.
There were a total of a hundred people on the boat, and they were all taken in a certain direction.
The remaining people were brought back onto the spacecraft and headed towards the human planet.
Half a day later, Lu Yin and Liu Shaoge looked at each other with surprise and scrutiny.
"I thought you were from Earth. I didn't expect you to be a direct descendant of the Lu family." Liu Shaoge was the first to speak.
Lu Yin replied, "I didn't expect you to reach your current height either. It looks like even Yu Chen was suppressed by you."
Liu Shaoge sighed and took out two wine glasses from his cosmic ring. He poured two glasses of red wine and handed one to Lu Yin. "No matter where I am, I still like Earth's wine. It's elegant."
Lu Yin swirled his glass and sat down. "Did no one notice me here?"
Liu Shaoge laughed. "Of course. Otherwise, how would I answer to the expeditionary army that came from so far away? We're here because of you."
Lu Yin shook his head. "That shouldn't be the case. If it's just for me, a half-ancestor would be enough."
Liu Shaoge sat across from Lu Yin, "Brother Lu, let's talk."
Lu Yin set down his cup. "I'd like to hear the details."
Liu Shaoge looked up. "It wasn't easy for me to get to where I am today. I hope Brother Lu will let me go."
Lu Yin was puzzled. "What are you talking about, Brother Liu? I've never dealt with you before."
Liu Shaoge couldn't help but laugh. "We can obviously pretend that we don't know each other. Why does Brother Lu want me to take you away?
Isn't it better to stay away from Wang Si and the others? "
Lu Yin nodded. "Alright, of course, but I don't want to be too far away from them. How will I deal with them if I'm too far away?"
Liu Shaoge shook his head helplessly. "So Brother Lu wants to drag me down with you?"
"Don't make it sound so tragic. We're both from Earth, so we should help each other." Lu Yin smiled and picked up his glass again to take a sip. "You're right. Earth's wine is delicious and elegant."
Liu Shaoge raised his hand and held the wine glass, slowly turning it. "Brother Lu, do you know the price I've paid to get to this point?
There's no harm in telling you.
I had no choice but to go to the Astral Trees. Brother Lu has always been prejudiced against me and wants to kill me. If I don't leave, I'll definitely die in the Fifth Mainland. "
"I helped Brother Lu once in the Astral Trees, and Brother Lu said that the grudges between us would be written off. I hope Brother Lu remembers what you said."
Lu Yin solemnly said, "I remember everything I said. Don't worry, you're no longer my enemy, and all our grudges are written off."
"I hope Brother Lu can leave as soon as possible. I'll think of something," Liu Shaoge said, looking at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "You have a way to send me away?"
"There are rumors that Lu Xiaoxuan has gone missing. Ancestor Wang Si and the others will definitely send people to the Fifth Mainland to search for him. That will be your chance. Of course, if Brother Lu is worried about being abandoned by the Fifth Mainland and becoming a public enemy, I can also think of a way to take you to the Astral Trees."
Lu Yin smiled at Liu Shaoge. "To be honest, I rarely admire someone. You're half an example."
Liu Shaoge's eyes narrowed.
Lu Yin continued, "It's really rare for an ordinary person to reach your level. You have no resources, no backing, no powerful innate gift, and no miraculous opportunities. You relied entirely on your own efforts. You deserve my admiration, but you're too scheming, and you're not pure."
"What do you mean?"
Liu Shaoge did not understand.
Lu Yin stood up and looked at the sky. "The person who deserves my admiration is Ancestor Ku. He started out weaker than an ordinary person, but he walked step by step to become a Progenitor. Progenitor Chen went against the orthodox path to cultivate the Nine Clones Technique, and he didn't hesitate to turn one of his clones into a giant, which made him a public enemy of the Daosource Sect. The Symbol Progenitor carried the civilization on his back and went against the current to resist the Sixth Mainland.
Liu Shaoge fell silent.
"Everyone has their own path, and you have your own difficulties. You can't be Ancestor Ku or Progenitor Chen, and I'm the same." Lu Yin then looked at Liu Shaoge. "I'm telling you all of this because I want to tell you that even if we're on different sides, even if we're enemies in the end, there's one thing you have to be clear about: you're human."
Liu Shaoge frowned. "Brother Lu, I don't understand what you're talking about."
Lu Yin laughed. "Maybe I'm overthinking things. I don't know why, but when I think back to the time I've known you, I suddenly feel like you might betray humanity one day."
Liu Shaoge's gaze turned cold. "Brother Lu, are you using this as an excuse to kill me?"
"I'm just saying, don't take it seriously." Lu Yin waved a hand.
Liu Shaoge took a deep breath. "Under the current circumstances, I can only send you out of the Technocracy, but I can't help you with anything else. Brother Lu, it's best if you stay here and hide your tracks. I'll notify you immediately if there's any news from the outside world."
Lu Yin suddenly raised a hand and tapped Liu Shaoge's forehead. "I don't need you to notify me. I'll go take a look myself." He then knocked Liu Shaoge unconscious, took out Mount Supreme, and tossed it inside.
He specifically marked out a corner of Mount Supreme and tossed Liu Shaoge there.
Long Xi and the others saw Liu Shaoge being tossed inside, but they didn't recognize him and ignored him.
After replacing Liu Shaoge, Lu Yin easily obtained a gadget from the Genesis Court that allowed him to contact the Human Domain's network.
This was the ability of the Genesis Court.
Many people thought that the Technocracy had no way of connecting to the Human Domain's network, but that was just their imagination.
Humans couldn't connect to the Technocracy's network, but the Technocracy had plenty of ways to connect to the Human Domain's network.
Lu Yin took out the bubbling liquid from his cosmic ring and took a picture of it before posting it on the Human Domain's network. It was quickly drowned out by billions of messages.
He then took out the wireless Gu and contacted Little Fa.
Although the wireless Gu wasn't as convenient as a gadget, it had the advantage of being able to communicate across space, so the Technocracy shouldn't be able to detect it.
In the Innerverse, in the Ross Empire's stronghold, Wang Wen was distressed.
Everyone was looking for Lu Yin, but who knew where he had gone?
He was also looking for him.
News of Lu Yin's disappearance couldn't be spread, but Wang Wen couldn't guarantee that he could keep it a secret for long.
At this moment, his gadget rang, and he glanced at it. The Divine Gu Dynasty's Prince Rusty?
The gadget connected, and the Prince Rusty's voice rang out. "There's news from the Alliance Leader."
Wang Wen was shocked. "Where?"
Another stuttering voice rang out; it was Little Fa. "Lu, the Alliance Leader used the wireless Gu to contact me. He wants me to tell you something."
Not long after, the gadget hung up. Wang Wen was depressed; he still didn't know where Lu Yin was, but using the wireless Gu to contact him meant that the situation wasn't good. Either the gadget was broken and couldn't find a new one, or he was being monitored.
Whatever, since Lu Yin hadn't taken the initiative to tell him his location, it meant that he didn't need help. Wang Wen opened the network and found the picture that Lu Yin had posted using Liu Shaoge's gadget. He looked at it and saw that it was a picture of a bubbling liquid with traces of red inside. What was that?
Lu Yin wanted him to label this picture as coming from the Genesis Academy. Right, Wang Wen suddenly looked up. Was Lu Yin at the Genesis Academy?
Had he really been captured by someone from that region?
But if he had been captured, why was he still able to contact the outside world?
Wang Wen couldn't understand what Lu Yin was doing!
He could only follow Lu Yin's instructions and start advertising the picture as coming from the Genesis Academy. With the Great Eastern Alliance's strength, it was possible.
Six Enhance on his die gave Lu Yin an unimaginable source of information.
He could arrange a plan to deal with the Astral Trees without Elder Chan and the others knowing anything, and the Great Eastern Alliance also had channels that allowed him to know the location of the black crystal.
His original plan was to shatter the black crystal and shift the blame to the Astral Trees. He would also let the Eternals know and trigger a war between the Eternals and the Genesis Academy's expeditionary force. However, Bai Wushen had arrived too quickly, so quickly that it was inconceivable. It was as if he had been right next to him.
Half-Ancestors could travel through space, and their speed was very fast, but it was impossible for them to be so ridiculously fast. Lu Yin had been about to leave right after shattering the black crystal and hadn't wasted any time, but he had been blocked in less than a minute. This was no longer a matter of speed; Bai Wushen was definitely very close to him.
Glory Flowzone was in the Innerverse, and the only explanation for Bai Wushen being so close to her was that she was also in the Innerverse. The Innerverse was the Great Eastern Alliance's territory. In other words, Bai Wushen was very likely a member of the Great Eastern Alliance and possibly someone that Lu Yin knew.
Lu Yin had asked Wang Wen to label the picture so that he could tell Bai Wushen that the liquid bubble was in the Genesis Academy.
Lu Yin knew how much the Neohuman Alliance cared about the black crystal, but until now, perhaps only he and the Neohuman Alliance knew that the liquid bubble was in the center of the black crystal. Although the head inquisitor had taken away a complete black crystal, he might not have shattered it.
Lu Yin was only trying to lure Bai Wushen to the Genesis Academy and exhaust the Fifth Mainland's Neohuman Alliance's strength to wage war against the Astral Trees' expeditionary force. The humans could not afford to have internal strife, and they had to at least drag the Neohuman Alliance down with them.
Moreover, through this move, they could also explore how deep the waters of the Founding Heavens Courtyard were.
