When he heard Lu Yin's words, Xiu Ming replied, "I know, and I didn't refuse. The Lockbreaker Society was originally a subordinate organization of the Hall of Honor, and it was managed by the Hall of Honor. It's just that it's been replaced by the Celestial Sect."
"It's good that you understand," Lu Yin said.
Xiu Ming asked, "Then, what do you have to say about the Lockbreaker Society?"
Lu Yin smiled. "Of course it's going to be harder on you. Nominally, this place belongs to the Celestial Sect, but in reality, it's going to be run the same as before. However, there are still some things that require the Lockbreaker Society's assistance, such as the creation and research of microarray technology."
"Haha, I knew you were looking for me for something. Micro-array technology?
Back then, Sect Master Scarred Heart sought me out as well, but because of the threat of the Eternals, we needed Lockbreakers to maintain the sourcebox arrays everywhere, so I couldn't spare anyone. Now that the threat of the Eternals is gone, I can transfer some people over to study the sourcebox, "Xiu Ming said.
Zhi Dong, Master Xuan, and the others all relaxed when they heard this. With the Lockbreaker Society sending someone over, their research progress would definitely be sped up.
"By the way, how far have you progressed in your research on the combined micro-array?"
Xiu Ming asked.
Lu Yin replied, "Twenty-eight Array Formation."
Across from him, Xiu Ming was shocked. "28 formations?
So many? "
"Director Zhi and the others said that the compatibility is the highest, which is why I've jumped from five to twenty-eight arrays."
Xiu Ming was silent for a moment before replying, "Interesting. Give me the information and I'll take a look."
Master Xuan was excited. "President, President, do you want to take a look?"
Lu Yin nodded. Although he had contacted Xiu Ming, he had only wanted to ask a few Dayuan Array Masters or Realmyuan Array Masters to help him with his research. He had never thought that Celestial Master Xiu Ming would be interested. After all, Celestial Master Xiu Ming was a Celestial Master, and even if Lu Yin could borrow Progenitor Chen's power to suppress the Fifth Mainland, he still respected such a person.
Regardless of whether it was a Celestial Inscriptionist or a Half-Martial Ancestor, they could not use their strength to forcefully suppress Progenitor Chen. Otherwise, they would lose the hearts of the people. Lu Yin did not lose himself in Progenitor Chen's power.
Of course, it would be best if Heavenly Master Xiu was willing to take the initiative to study the 28 formations.
"Alright, I'll get Director Zhi and the rest to send the information to the Heavenly Master."
On the other side, Master Xuan was excited. With the addition of Heavenly Master Xiu, he didn't know how much faster the research on the 28 formations would be. The two of them weren't on the same level at all.
After contacting Heavenly Master Xiu Tianshi, Lu Yin turned around and contacted the Technocracy.
In the past twenty years, the Sixth Mainland had tried to contact the Technocracy, hoping that the two sides could work together to deal with the Eternals. However, the Technocracy had not made a move.
Lu Yin was contacting the wireless gu that the Sixth Mainland had sent to the Technocracy.
Soon, the wireless Gu replied, "Who is it?"
"Lu Yin."
The wireless Gu did not move, but after a while, it moved. "I am Sen."
Lu Yin was not surprised. "Long time no see, Academy Master Sen."
"Alliance Master Lu, no, I should call you Daozi now. Daozi of the Above Heaven Sect," Academy Master Sen replied.
"Are you aware of what's happening in the Human Domain, Academy Master Sen?"
"Of course," Dean Sen replied.
"Since that's the case, I'll be frank. What exactly is the Technocracy?"
When he asked this question, he avoided Zhi Dong and the others, leaving only the Mist Ancestor by his side.
Wu Ancestor looked at wireless Gu curiously.
"Alliance Leader Lu should have guessed it already."
"I can guess a little, but I want to hear it from Headmaster Sen."
"Ancestor Hui left it behind to gather resources to deal with the Eternals," Dean Sen replied without hesitation.
Lu Yin nodded. The endless mechanical ants had come from the Sixth Mainland and the Astral Tree Domain. The Technocracy had deliberately created a civil war between the Sixth Mainland and the Astral Tree Domain to obtain materials to create mechanical ants. This was also Ancestor Hui's doing.
The Sixth Mainland and the Astral Tree Domain both disagreed with the idea of mass production of mechanical ants, and even the Hall of Honor was the first to disagree. After all, the Technocracy was also at war with the Human Domain.
"Hui Wen left it behind?"
The Mist Ancestor was surprised.
Lu Yin explained, "Back then, the Sixth Mainland won the decisive battle against the Fifth Mainland and changed the Fifth Mainland's fate. Ancestor Hui schemed against the Sixth Mainland and caused the Sixth Mainland to suffer the consequences. The Technocracy was also left behind by Ancestor Hui, and it specialized in gathering materials to create mechanical ants to fight against the Eternals. Unfortunately, there weren't enough of them, and they couldn't win against the Eternals."
The Mist Ancestor sneered. "Hui Wen wasn't good at cultivation, and she had a lot of weird ideas. She liked to fool people."
Lu Yin rolled his eyes. Weird ideas?
It was because of these weird ideas that the Fifth Mainland was in its current state. If not for Hui Wen, the Human Domain would have been destroyed long ago. Of course, Lu Yin didn't say this. The Mist Ancestor and Hui Wen were from the same generation, and they were both from the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. Their statuses were similar, so it wasn't Lu Yin's place to interrupt.
Lu Yin replied, "Hui Wen left the Technocracy behind to deal with the Eternals. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough."
"We did our best," Academy Master Sen replied.
Lu Yin replied, "I know. Now that the purpose of your existence has been exposed, what do you plan to do next?
You won't be able to obtain materials from the Sixth Mainland, and you won't be able to obtain materials from the Astral Tree Domain due to the destruction of the New Void Corridor. "
Academy Master Sen didn't reply.
After a while, Lu Yin replied, "I need your support. If everything goes well, it will be a very good weapon against the Eternals in the future."
"What is it?"
Academy Master Sen asked.
Lu Yin replied, "Microarray weapons. I'm currently researching a twenty-eight array combination. Once it's successful and mass-produced, it will be beneficial to the Eternals on the battlefield. I need your top technology and materials."
"No problem," Academy Master Sen replied quickly. "But it won't be for free."
Lu Yin replied, "I know. The materials that the Human Domain doesn't use will be shipped to the Technocracy. I can also tell you that you can use the excuse of killing me to get materials from the Astral Tree. This is a much better excuse than your internal conflict."
"That's a good excuse. I'll definitely scold you when the time comes," Academy Master Sen replied with a hint of humor.
Lu Yin hadn't expected this side of Academy Master Sen. Although he knew that the Technocracy was left behind by Hui Wen, how had he done it?
How had he created Academy Master Sen and Half-Moon City Lord? Lu Yin didn't know anything about Academy Master Sen either. What were Half-Moon City Lords? Technological creatures?
Or something else?
"You can scold me, but you'll have to give me some benefits," Lu Yin joked.
Academy Master Sen replied, "I'll give you all of the star essence in the Technocracy."
Lu Yin had only been joking, but he hadn't expected such a response. He was shocked. "All of it?
Why? "
Academy Master Sen
Academy Master Sen replied, "With the disappearance of the star source, you humans have lost the power that you rely on the most. Even if you have a new power to replace it, you'll still need to use it. These star essences are useless to us, so I'll give them to you."
Lu Yin's breathing quickened. Twenty years ago, when he had been dealing with the Eternals, the city had basically merged with the Genesis Court. Academy Master Sen wasn't just talking about the Genesis Court's star essence, but also the entire Technocracy's star essence.
Lu Yin gulped. "How much?"
"We haven't calculated the exact amount, but I'll have someone ship it to you in batches. First, I'll give you the star essence from the Genesis Court. There should be around 200 billion of them. We'll also give you the star essence from the city and other places in the Technocracy. Altogether, there should be around a trillion cubes. The Technocracy doesn't actively collect star essence, and we don't have an economy that uses star essence to trade, so there isn't much."
At that moment, Lu Yin's eyes turned green.
The Fog Ancestor blinked and stared at Lu Yin in shock. This person's eyes had changed.
Could Lu Yin not change?
No, he couldn't. If he didn't change, then he would be letting down Academy Master Sen's number.
Give him 200 billion first?
This was something he had only heard in his dreams, but now he was hearing it in real life. 200 billion was close to a trillion cubes. What an exaggerated number! He had never received so much money in one go before.
Hall Master Sen was right, as the Technocracy's possession of nearly a trillion star essence was not considered much, as that was an entire star domain. However, the Technocracy did not need to use star essence, so Lu Yin was already satisfied with the amount that they had.
Nearly a trillion cubes of star essence was his first thought, and he immediately thought of the slippers and needles. Then he thought of the Styx, the Time Wood, the Myriad Beast Cage, and so on, especially the slippers and needles. If they could help the Fog Ancestor escape, then he would be the Fog Ancestor! At his peak, the Fog Ancestor had dominated the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, and he would be able to help the Human Domain unify the entire Fifth Mainland.
He could explore the Astral Beast Domain and the Astral Wilderness, and he could even deal with the pressure from the Astral Tree Domain and the hidden dangers of the Starfall Sea.
This sum of money was too important to him.
"When will it be delivered?"
Lu Yin asked anxiously, as he rarely lost his composure.
Academy Master Sen replied, "As soon as possible."
Lu Yin replied, "The research on the twenty-eight array combination microarray is very important, so please send someone over as soon as possible. Our Imprint Master Xiu is also participating in the research, and once it's mass-produced, it will be a huge blow to the Eternals."
Academy Master Sen was shocked. "Even the president of your Lockbreaker Society is participating?
Alright, I'll send someone over as soon as possible. "
Lu Yin put away the wireless voodoo, his eyes filled with excitement. The money was coming, a huge amount of money was coming.
"What's wrong with you?
You look very greedy. "The Fog Ancestor was puzzled.
Lu Yin looked at the Fog Ancestor. "Senior, you're the greatest goddess in the universe. There's no other." He then happily turned around to look for Zhi Dong and the others.
The Fog Ancestor was at a loss, as she had been inexplicably praised without any preamble. What did this mean?
Not long after, Zhi Dong and the others grew excited, as Lu Yin had solved three of their most difficult problems. Zhi Dong could not help but guarantee that once these three problems were solved, they would definitely be able to create a powerful twenty-eight array combination microarray weapon that would become a killing machine on the battlefield.
…
Aside from looking at the manufacturing and research of the microarray weapon, Lu Yin also saw the pyrolyte ore reserves, Papercut's reserves, and Shamrock Enterprises' medicine reserves.
All of these resources had been merged into Heaven's Sect's back garden, and they had become the sect's logistical support.
