Not long after, the Forgotten Ruins God and the other Half-Ancestors left. The Ancient God stood in space as Bai Wushen walked out from behind him.
The Ancient God turned around and looked at Bai Wushen. "That rat is heading towards the Outerverse. It's just as you said; he'll use that planet to enter the Astral Tree Domain."
"Let him go. It's very difficult to take down the Astral Tree Domain. Even if we want to use that planet to enter, we'll be scattered once we get there. We won't be able to control the direction, so it's useless to us."
The Ancient God's tone was gloomy. "I never thought that after so many years, the Lu family would only be left with a rat. The Lu family that was once at its peak will never appear again."
…
On the Ancestral Turtle's back, Lu Yin hesitated for a long time until he saw the Astral River in front of him. He raised his hand and activated his gadget to contact Elder Chan.
"Where are you?"
Elder Chan asked.
Lu Yin replied, "I'm heading towards the Outerverse's Frostwave Weave. Senior, let's go together."
Elder Chan was confused. "Frostwave Weave?
Where are you going?
The Astral Wilderness? "
At this point, Lu Yin had nothing to hide. "There's a galaxy in Frostwave Weave called the Milky Way. There's a planet called Earth in the Milky Way, and not far from it is a planet called Jupiter. Through Jupiter, you can reach the Astral Tree Domain."
Elder Chan was shocked. "What did you say?
Reach the Astral Tree Domain? "
"Senior, you haven't forgotten that I disappeared from Jupiter, right?" Lu Yin asked.
"Back then, you were ambushed by the Neohuman Alliance and eventually disappeared from Jupiter. The next time I saw you was when I brought you back from the Starry Sky of the Trees. Does this mean that Jupiter can lead directly to the Starry Sky of the Trees?"
Lu Yin replied, "That's right. Jupiter leads directly to the Astral Tree Domain. Senior, there's no hope for the Fifth Mainland. Although I don't want to admit it, we have to leave."
Elder Chan fell silent.
Lu Yin continued, "I don't want to give up on the Fifth Mainland, but there's nothing we can do. It's just like the Sixth Mainland. They weren't willing to give up and eventually migrated to the Fifth Mainland. A long time ago, the four mainlands were destroyed because of the Eternals. If we stay here, we'll either be captured and turned into Corpse Kings or die.
"I know that you want us to meet you in Frostwave Weave and reach the Astral Tree Domain?"
Elder Chan.
Lu Yin answered, "That's right."
Elder Chan said bitterly, "Do you think it's that easy?
Maybe you can go, but we can't. You know that Jupiter leads to the Starry Sky of Trees. The Eternals must know that too. They won't stop you, but that doesn't mean they won't stop us. Do you think they'll let us go to the Starry Sky of Trees to strengthen humanity? "
Lu Yin frowned and looked to the west. It was true that the Eternals wouldn't stop him from going to the Astral Tree Realm, even if he took a few cultivators with him. That was normal, but why would Elder Chan and the others go?
If the Eternals were willing to let them go, they wouldn't have destroyed the New Sky Corridor.
The biggest reason for destroying the New Sky Corridor was not because they were afraid that the Starry Sky of Trees would send reinforcements to the Fifth Mainland. They had the battlefield behind them and were unable to send reinforcements. The main reason was that they were worried that Elder Chan and the others would leave through the New Sky Corridor.
The Eternals were already unable to break through the battlefield behind the Starry Sky Trees in the first place. If they added a few more Half-Martial Ancestors, it would be even more difficult to break through.
However, he was different. His existence would only cause internal strife among the humans. The Four Sides Scales would not let him go. The number of people he took away would be the same as the number of people in the Starry Sky of Trees that would cause internal strife.
The strength of the Starry Sky Tree was not increased.
Lu Yin closed his eyes. Schemes could not go against the general trend.
He understood the feelings of the people from the Sixth Mainland and the people from the other four mainlands.
Elder Chan said bleakly, "Leave if you have the chance. You might be a member of the Lu family, but from the moment you took over the war against the Astral Beast Domain, you became a member of the Fifth Mainland. The Fifth Pagoda also made you a half-master of the Fifth Mainland. The Fifth Mainland owes you a debt of gratitude. If you become a Half-Martial Ancestor in the future, you might be able to take the Fifth Mainland back from the Eternals."
Lu Yin clenched his fists. In his heart, the Fifth Mainland was far more important than the Starry Sky of Trees. After all, losing Lu Xiaoxuan's memories was equivalent to living a new life. This was his home.
"Senior, I can leave, but you can't just wait to die. If you scatter too much, the Eternals will take you down one by one."
Elder Chan said, "Don't worry. Have you forgotten how the top ten of the Sovereign Competition went to the Starry Sky of Trees?
We also have a backup plan. Besides, didn't you remind me of the lockbreaking place?
I've already contacted Xiu Ming to immediately lockbreak it. No matter what the outcome is, it won't be worse than it is now, so we need time. If we scatter, the Eternals will see that we can easily defeat them and are willing to give us time. This is also a gamble. "
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. Elder Chan was right. Mister Mu had told him about the lockbreaking place, and the Neoverse also had a way to reach the Starry Sky of Trees. "So Senior has already seen through it. This junior is relieved. Take care, Senior."
"Take care," Elder Chan said solemnly.
Lu Yin put down his hand and thought for a moment. He then contacted Big Sis, Hui Kong, and all the other people he was familiar with and cared about.
Suddenly, his gadget stopped working.
"It seems like the Eternals have cut off the network. Something happened to the Astral Alliance World," Wang Wen said helplessly.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. He had expected this day to come, but he didn't think too much about it. He couldn't care less if something happened to the Astral Alliance World, and it might not necessarily be the Astral Alliance World that was in trouble. "How are the losses?"
Wang Wen answered, "We lost more than half of them. Although the battle didn't last long, we were too spread out and many people didn't have time to retreat. There were too many experts on the battlefield, and the stars would have been shattered if they moved. Spacecraft couldn't withstand them at all, and any of the aftershocks could have wiped out all the cultivators on a spacecraft."
"Fortunately, the Lu Xuanjun Army and the Giant Legion were saved. However, the Heavenly Sin Army suffered heavy losses. Thunder Axe died, and the Lu Xuanjun Army lost Steel Bone Daynight and Shadow Daynight, as well as Chen Ji. In the Allied Army, Xueshan Auna and Elder Iron …" Wang Wen wanted to continue, but Lu Yin interrupted him.
He knew that they had suffered heavy losses, but he hadn't expected them to be this great. This was just the Great Eastern Alliance. How many people from Leon's Armada were still alive?
How many presidents from the Astral Combat Academy had died?
There were also the Mavis Family and so on.
Ever since he had entered the battlefield, he had been focused on the Half-Ancestors and hadn't paid any attention to these people. Only now did he realize how tragic the battle below was.
"Still, quite a few Corpse Kings have been eliminated, at least half of them. That's good news," Wang Wen consoled him.
Lu Yin felt bitter. "The loss of the Corpse Kings is insignificant. Once the Fifth Mainland is occupied, an endless number of Corpse Kings will be born."
Wang Wen didn't know what to say, but this was the truth. The Eternals would modify the Corpse Kings and change their civilization. After the Fifth Mainland was occupied, even if the humans still existed, their way of thinking would be different from now.
The most frightening thing about war was not the conquest of the physical body, but the conquest of the human race.
Civilization.
Lu Yin looked towards the south. Would Elder Chan and the others try to sneak into the Astral Tree?
Not necessarily, as they might be more willing to stay on the Fifth Mainland and make their final stand. This was their dignity.
This was the Fifth Mainland, and unless it was completely destroyed like the other four mainlands, they would not give up.
There was a thud as Highsage Leon came to Lu Yin's side with Little Black and Xiao Bai.
It had been more than seven years since Lu Yin had last seen Little Black and Xiao Bai, and now, they had grown up.
"Brother Lu," Little Black and Xiao Bai called out as they stood behind Highsage Leon.
Lu Yin's mood improved when he saw them, "You're not calling me Little Lu anymore?"
Xiao Bai rolled her eyes. "Childish."
Little Black looked at Lu Yin seriously. "That's why most men are childish."
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "Go play somewhere else."
When they were retreating from the battlefield, the Heavenly Master led the group from Everlasting Island onto the Ancestral Turtle and headed towards the Outerverse.
This was probably something that Highsage Leon had fought for, as he couldn't let go of Leon's Great Army and Lu Yin.
"In the end, we still lost." Highsage Leon sighed and shook his head bitterly. "The Sea King was right. The Fifth Mainland has lost once, and it will lose again."
Lu Yin's expression was calm. "I want to win once. Once is enough."
Highsage Leon patted Lu Yin's shoulder. "We all saw your efforts on the battlefield, and the captain is proud of you."
"We're proud of you too, Little Lu," Little Black and Xiao Bai spoke up at the same time.
Lu Yin was speechless. Little Lu again?
Who was being childish?
The Ancestral Turtle headed towards the Outerverse and directly charged into the Astral River. It didn't even need to use the Astral River Ark, and it quickly crossed the Astral River to reach the Outerverse and head towards Zenyu Star.
There had always been people guarding Zenyu Star, such as Huan Sha and the Great Yu Empire's Cabinet Minister Gavin. Zhao Ran and the others had already been taken to Aurora Fort by Lu Yin. This time, they had come to pick up some important people from the Great Yu Empire, such as the Huo family, the Auna family, the Technology Department, and the cultivators from Yu Academy.
Not long after, the Ancestral Turtle left.
On Zenyu Star, countless people watched in shock as the Ancestral Turtle left. It was just a turtle, but it was much larger than the entire Zenyu Star.
Lu Yin was also looking at Zenyu Star. Beside him was a General Appointment Platform.
This was the platform that the Hall of Honor had used to encourage resistance against the Sixth Mainland's invasion. Lu Yin had then taken it away and left it in Zenyu Star's ocean, so he naturally had to take it with him when he left.
He didn't know why the innate gift of the General Appointment Platform had materialized and remained there for so long. Perhaps he hadn't reached that level yet.
"Alliance Leader, someone wishes to see you," En Ya reported respectfully.
"Mm," Lu Yin acknowledged.
Soon after, a girl arrived. She was as beautiful as a fairy and had fiery red hair that reached her waist. It was Huo Xiaoling.
Lu Yin looked at her. "It's been so many years, but you haven't changed much."
She respectfully replied, "Greetings, Your Highness."
"What business do you have with me?"
Lu Yin asked.
Huo Xiaoling replied, "I want to stay on Zenyu Star."
Lu Yin was confused. "Why?"
Huo Xiaoling fell silent for a moment.
