Kui Luo bared his teeth and glared at Ni Huang and the others. He waved his hand impatiently. "Alright, alright. This old man is not well-liked. Do as you wish. I'm leaving."
"There's only these Half-Ancestors. If you leave, who will fill your spot?" Nine Brilliance asked.
Kui Luo rolled his eyes and then waved at the distant Lu Yin. "Come, listen in my place. If there's anything you want to say, just tell me." He then glanced at the crowd. "That should be enough. I can do my part, and I don't have time to waste with you." He then turned and left.
The group of Half-Ancestors looked at Lu Yin.
If it had been anyone else, even someone with a power level in the millions, they would have trembled. After all, they were facing a Half-Ancestor.
However, Lu Yin did not care at all. He leisurely walked over and stood where Kui Luo had been. "Continue."
Wang Si coldly said, "What qualifications does this little thing have to discuss with us?
Does he have the ability to fight against a Half-Ancestor? "
Lu Yin looked at her. "Old bitch, you talk too much." He then looked at Old Whiteghost with disdain. "You're interested in this?"
Old Whiteghost's anger surged once more, and he was even angrier than when he had faced Kui Luo. Kui Luo was a Half-Ancestor, someone of the same generation, while this brat was just an Emissary. A mere Emissary had actually dared to mock him and even malign him.
Wang Si was similarly furious.
Ni Huang shouted, "Alright, enough with the nonsense." She then looked at Lu Yin. "Lu Xiaoxuan, we'll set aside our hatred for now, but you don't have the qualifications to join our discussion. We need to choose a commander, and Kui Luo is not qualified. You don't have to come, just leave."
Lu Yin raised his head. "So that's how it is. Then there's no need to choose. I'll be the one."
Ni Huang and the rest looked at Lu Yin quietly, as if they had just heard something unbelievable.
Old Xue sneered. "The younger generation these days is so daring that they even think of commanding us Half-Ancestors. What a joke."
Elder Chan looked at Lu Yin in shock. He had indeed thought of letting Lu Yin command a portion of the battle, but not on the battlefield of Half-Ancestors.
"How arrogant! A mere remnant of the Lu family dares to command us?
Are you crazy? "Wang Si was so angry that she started mocking Lu Yin.
Lu Yin could not help but laugh. "What? Do all of you know that only those with the same or higher cultivation can command you?"
He then looked at Old Blood Ghost. "During the war in the Outerverse, I, Lu Yin, forcibly took back a weave in the east from your Sixth Mainland. You mobilized three Half-Progenitors, but they were all useless. In the end, you could only sign an agreement. Senior, is that true?"
Old Blood Ghost disdainfully replied, "That's because the Yao Emperor was holding you back. Without the Astral Beast Domain, how could you have the ability to sign an agreement with us?"
"If it weren't for the Astral Beast Domain, that war wouldn't have started. Can't you hear yourself?"
Lu Yin did not hold back in his sarcasm.
The Xue Geezer was furious, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. "Fine, fine, fine. With the enemy before us, I won't bicker with a junior like you."
Lu Yin sneered. "When a junior like me was threatened by the Astral Beast Domain in the Outerverse, your Sixth Mainland gave up and even planned to have us fight to the death with the Astral Beast Domain while reaping the benefits of the Astral Beast Domain. Yet, you still managed to scheme against us. Does this have anything to do with your cultivation?"
Old Blood Ghost was momentarily at a loss for words.
Lu Yin then looked at Wang Si. "Old bitch, I used the alias Long Seven in the Astral Tree Domain and fooled all of you. If not for Wang Yun coincidentally seeing me in this region, I would have already become a Progenitor's disciple. All of this happened right under your noses, so you're welcome.
Frankly speaking, my intelligence far exceeds yours. "
Wang Si raised her brows. "You're just sly and cunning."
Lu Yin looked at Ni Huang, Xia De, and Old Blood Ghost. "Actually, you're right to say that Kui Luo doesn't have the right to be a commander. He can't see the big picture, and similarly, the four of you don't have the right either."
Ni Huang's expression changed. "In terms of cultivation, who here dares to say that they can surpass me? In terms of experience, I participated in the final battle with the Sixth Mainland, and in terms of experience, I fought against the Eternals on the backside for countless years. I've seen almost all of the Twelve Marquises, yet you're saying that I don't have the right?"
Lu Yin faced Ni Huang directly. "I've already said that cultivation has nothing to do with command. As for experience, did you command the final battle with the Sixth Mainland?
If that's the case, then that won't do, because we lost that battle. If you've never commanded, then you're even less qualified. This junior has seen people who have survived from the Daosource Sect's era, and you're not the only one. As for your understanding of the Twelve Marquises, that's just information. Does Senior intend to hide this information from us? "
Ni Huang frowned. "Even so, it's not up to a junior like you to command us."
Lu Yin suddenly looked at Elder Chan. "Senior, may I ask who is the most famous person in the Fifth Mainland?"
Elder Chan was stunned, and so were the other Half-Ancestors. Who was the most famous?
How could this be counted?
Even as Half-Ancestors, they did not dare to claim that they were the most famous. After all, people at different realms would interact with different people. Ordinary cultivators, even Hunters, would not have heard of them.
If this had been a few decades ago, there would have been no way to answer this question. Even if Elder Chan was the Hall of Honor's master, how many people in the Fifth Mainland had heard of him?
The stronger a cultivator was, the more they would hide themselves.
But now, Elder Chan answered without hesitation, "Of course it's you, Lu Yin."
Ni Huang's eyes narrowed as she stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin smiled, raised his head, and swept his gaze across all the Half-Ancestors. "That's right, it's me, Lu Yin. Ever since the Astral Combat Academy, I've been famous throughout the universe. I became the paragon of my generation during the Sovereign Tournament, and the Great Eastern Alliance unified the Innerverse and Outerverse. Who doesn't know about that? I even established the Fifth Pagoda and enlightened the Fifth Mainland.
Lu Yin looked at Ni Huang and the other Half-Ancestors in high spirits. "Go and find out how much influence my words have on the Fifth Mainland. Even in front of the various seniors, I dare to say that the sky belongs to the Lu family."
Not only were Ni Huang and the others shocked by Lu Yin's words, but even Nine Luminaries and the others were shocked by Lu Yin's words. Unknowingly, Lu Yin had already reached such heights. Although his cultivation had not caught up to theirs, his influence far surpassed theirs.
Even the Sixth Mainland's Daosource Sect or the Fifth Mainland's Hall of Honor would not dare to say that their influence surpassed Lu Yin's.
As long as he was willing, he could face off against the Astral Beast Domain alone, make the Sixth Mainland compromise, and influence the Hall of Honor. He was the ultimate figure that everyone in the Fifth Mainland recognized.
"When it comes to commanding, who is more suitable than me, Lu Yin?"
Lu Yin roared.
Drunkard spoke up. "I agree." He had personally witnessed the war between the Outerverse's Great Eastern Alliance and the Astral Beast Domain, so he knew who Lu Yin had commanded and who he could influence. Cultivation was not an obstacle to him, and he would even dare to command a Progenitor, let alone a Half-Ancestor.
Heavenly Master Shangsheng said, "I agree as well."
Elder Gong spoke up. "I agree."
Ni Huang and the others looked at Elder Chan.
Elder Chan nodded and sighed. "When it comes to commanding, no one can compare to this brat."
Xia Ji did not speak.
Lan Xian was the first to speak up. "I agree."
Nine Luminaries was shocked.
The Medicine Immortal also spoke up. "I agree."
The head judge spoke up. "I agree."
Lu Yin smiled. "Including Kui Luo, more than half of the participants agree. Of course, you can also suggest others, but it doesn't seem likely that they'll surpass me."
Nine Luminaries shook his head. "Forget it, we'll choose him." He then looked at Lu Yin. "Tell us a plan, and we can choose whether to listen or not. Let me tell you something: we can use the Skypiercing Pillar to seal the entrance to the Starfall Sea. You don't need to know too much about it; you just need to know that there's something that can seal the entrance."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. He was not naive enough to believe that these Half-Ancestors would unconditionally listen to his orders. That was impossible. The only reason he had fought for command was because he did not want to put his life in the hands of others.
Furthermore, none of these Half-Ancestors were qualified to command him.
Lu Yin raised his hand and activated his gadget. "Wang Wen, how's the plan coming along?"
"It's already been settled. This battlefield isn't that complicated. I'll send it to you." Wang Wen then hung up.
Soon, Lu Yin saw the battle plan that Wang Wen, Shui Chuanxiao, and Wei Rong had come up with.
"What, do you need someone else to come up with the plan?
Then why are you fighting for command? You might as well let that person take command, "Wang Si said coldly as she glared at Lu Yin. If possible, she would not mind killing this brat first. One more person would not make much difference in this battle.
Lu Yin sneered. "Just shut up and listen."
Wang Si's eyes narrowed, and her killing intent grew even stronger.
Lu Yin raised his hand and drew in outer space. He drew the border of the Starfall Sea, the Innerverse, and the Technocracy. "This is where the Eternals are currently entrenched, and they're currently fighting with the Technocracy. Actually, there isn't much of a plan for this battle. We just need to make sure that we have a clear goal, and that is to beat them back. No matter what happens, we just need to appear on that battlefield, clear out all of the Corpse Kings, and seal the entrance to the Starfall Sea. That's the only goal of this battle."
"There's no need to think about the Half-Ancestor Corpse Kings, the Seven Skygods, or the Twelve Marquises. Just focus on rushing to that location." Lu Yin pointed at the entrance to the Starfall Sea. "Even if those Half-Ancestor Corpse Kings rush into the Daosource Sect or the Hall of Honor, we don't need to care about them. As long as we seal the entrance to the Starfall Sea again, we can deal with them later."
Ni Huang frowned. "That's your plan?"
Lu Yin replied, "I've already said that there isn't much of a complicated plan. Could it be that you want me to come up with a battle strategy that will leave my name for eternity?
That's not realistic. I just need everyone to make one thing clear, which is to rush to the entrance to the Starfall Sea and use that Sky-Supporting Pillar to seal it. There's no need to care about anything else. "
"That's everyone's mission. As for the countless Corpse Kings that rush in, they'll be transported by the greater realms."
Elder Chan was astonished. "The greater realms?"
Lu Yin nodded. "I know that the Hall of Honor doesn't allow the greater realms to leave the Glory Realm, but now that things have reached this point, we have no choice but to rely on the greater realms to transport their troops. Otherwise, we won't be able to reach the battlefield so quickly. Everything else aside, even if the Great Eastern Alliance rushes out right now, it'll still take several months to reach the Starfall Sea's battlefield. That's too long, and it'll be long enough for countless Corpse Kings to spread throughout the western Flowzone and cause countless murders."
Elder Chan sighed.
