Although most people did not know that Lu Yin had defeated a powerful Progenitor like Xia Shenji, it was enough to know that he was a Progenitor. To them, Progenitors were all the same.
The Great Eastern Alliance's Lu Xuan Army, Heavenly Sin Army, and the Giant Army all gathered towards the west.
The Celestial Sect's Celestial Army and the Astral Beast Army moved out at the same time.
From the Hall of Honor, Emissaries walked out one by one. They came from the Star Alliance, and there were a total of 63 of them. They were led by Zhan Lin and headed west.
Auras filled various regions as Half-Ancestors walked out. The eight Elysian Gates' sect masters were here to teach and patrol. There were fifteen Half-Ancestors in total.
The entire Fifth Mainland had come alive.
The Ancestral Turtle looked towards the west and moved.
If the Fifth Mainland was viewed as a map, then the dots that represented the powerful cultivators were all gathered towards the place Lu Yin had pointed out.
The various armies added up to tens of millions of people.
This was the true gathering of the Fifth Mainland, and it was even more thorough than when they had fought against the Eternals. Back then, Lu Yin had not been qualified to command everyone, but now, Lu Yin was that person.
In the Endless Weaves, the Blood Ancestor was worried. "Are we really going to war?"
Lu Yin laughed. "We'll see."
The Blood Ancestor sighed, as he did not know how to resolve this. Once war broke out, the losses to humanity would be immeasurable, and only the Eternals would benefit.
But what could he do?
Even if he gave up on Lu Yin's blood feud, the Cosmic Astral Tree would not let him live. There was only one solution: fight until the Cosmic Astral Tree gave up.
In the Innerverse, in outer space, Wen Qian'er looked at Wen Sansi standing beside a spacecraft and walked over. "What are you thinking about?"
Wen Sansi looked at the sky. "The difference is too great."
Wen Qian'er knew that he was referring to the difference between them.
"Back then, when the Astral Combat Academy sent students to train, he went to Shenwu Continent. When he left, I was the one who picked him up. At that time, the difference between us was like the gap between heaven and earth. No one thought that he would catch up to us, let alone surpass us. But now, it's the opposite."
Wen Qian'er replied, "Don't think about it, cousin. He's a monster."
Wen Sansi laughed. Once upon a time, many people called them monsters. When did the word 'monster' become a compliment?
"This war is no small matter. You shouldn't have come. It's not too late to go back now." Wen Sansi looked at Wen Qian 'er and said solemnly.
Wen Qian'er shook her head. "It's an order from above, and I can't go against it. I'm a Cruiser, so I can't avoid it."
"No one is looking for trouble with you," Wen Sansi said.
Wen Qian 'er replied, "I want to see what kind of enemy has gathered the entire Fifth Mainland. Even the people from the Sixth Mainland and the astral beasts from the Astral Beast Domain have gathered here."
At this moment, someone reported that the Sword Faction's flying ship had been spotted in the distance.
The Sword Sect's flying ship was easy to recognize. It was a huge sword.
"Haha, Liu Qianjue, you came out too. I thought you were going to die of old age on Sword Mountain." Wen Zizai laughed.
Liu Qianjue stepped into the Wen Clan's spacecraft and glanced around. "It seems like the Wen Clan has really turned out in full force. You even brought your juniors with you."
Wen Zizai said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do about it. The orders of the sects above cannot be disobeyed. What, does your Sword Sect still have a trick up its sleeve?"
Liu Qianjue calmly replied, "Of course not."
"Old friend, we're in trouble this time.
It's even more troublesome than facing those monsters from the Neohuman Alliance, "Wen Zizai said to Liu Qianjue as he dispersed the bystanders.
Liu Qianjue's tone was gloomy. "This isn't an era where you and I can make decisions. Even the Hall of Honor can't change the current situation. Only he can."
Wen Zizai nodded. "When he first unified the Outerverse, I thought that he had reached his peak. Later on, he disintegrated our alliance and then unified the Innerverse. I also thought that he had reached his peak, but I didn't think that this was actually his peak. The Sixth Mainland, the Astral Beast Domain, and even those from the era of the Above Heavens are all under his control. He's truly terrifying."
Liu Qianjue fell silent. Terrifying?
Some people were destined not to be compared to, as they were too far away. They were geniuses who had transcended the constraints of their time.
Not far behind them, the Northline Flowzone was also rushing west. The current head of the Lily family was Lily Anne, but Lily Liana had died twenty years ago at the hands of a Corpse King.
"Sis, the entire Fifth Mainland has gathered here. How can we participate in a war of this scale?
Why did the Daozi ask us to gather here as well? "
Lily Shu'er was worried.
This was also the worry of the entire Northline Flowzone, or rather, the entire Fifth Mainland. They did not have the qualifications to participate in a war where everyone was gathered. Even when the Sixth Mainland had invaded, they had only sent a portion of their people to participate, but now, almost all of them had been mobilized.
Lily Anne remained calm. "If only a portion of our people were sent, then I would be worried. But now, there's no need to worry. It's unlikely that a war will break out."
"Why?"
Lily Shu'er did not understand.
Lily Anne replied, "The Daozi won't sacrifice the weak. What's the point of us participating in this war?
Are we sending ourselves to our deaths?
But the order has already been given, so we must participate. The only way is to intimidate the enemy. Even if we don't fight, we can still intimidate the enemy. "
"So the enemy this time is definitely not the Eternals, but an intelligent lifeform like us."
Lily Shu'er guessed, "Could it be that some terrifying lifeform has appeared in the Astral Wilderness?"
Lily Anne did not know either, as she was not qualified to know the details.
After sending Lily Shu'er away, Lily Anne raised her hand, revealing the Fatesand in her palm.
More than twenty years ago, her best friend, Xiaoyi, had died because of this, giving her a chance to get close to Lu Yin and gain some merit. However, this matter had been delayed for more than twenty years, and now, it was time to hand it over to Lu Yin.
The Lily family's most glorious era had only been when they had the right to speak within the Northline Flowzone. They had dreamed of leaving the Northline Flowzone, and this was their chance. A single word from Lu Yin was enough to allow anyone to ascend to the heavens.
In the Outerverse, a lone man was walking through space alone.
Suddenly, a sword slash appeared in the distance, heading straight for the man's back.
The man turned around and easily shattered the sword slash. He looked into the distance and saw that many people had appeared. Most of them were descendants of the Martial Ancestors, and Xiaoqing was also there.
"Fan Shun, you traitor! How dare you appear here again!" one of the men cursed. He was the one who had attacked just now, and many people around him glared at Fan Shun, wanting to attack as well.
Fan Shun was indifferent. "Save some star energy to save your life on the battlefield."
"Even so, we'll still kill you, you traitor," someone else said.
They had no enmity with Fan Shun, but Fan Chen had led the Fan family to betray the humans and join the Eternals. He had even become the city lord of the first Eternal Kingdom that the Eternals had established in the Innerverse. This had infuriated countless people on the Sixth Mainland, and they had wanted to tear Fan Chen apart.
However, Fan Shun had not betrayed the Fan family, and he had remained behind alone.
He had been cursed by the countless people who could attack him at any time.
Fan Chen's betrayal had been forced. Kui Luo had revealed that Fan Chen had captured the previous Valley Master of Cloud Valley, Jian Zhibei, which had forced Fan Chen to no longer have a foothold in the Sixth Mainland.
The Nine Families hated Fan Shun not only because of the Fan family's betrayal, but also because of Jiuxiao.
A year ago, Jiuxiao had gotten drunk and wanted to avenge Valley Master Cloud Valley's swordsman. He had tried to cause trouble for Vice City Master Xiao Xiong, who had been transporting supplies from the Technocracy, but he had been killed by Vice City Master Xiao Xiong. This incident had caused the Nine Families to become the laughingstock of the Sixth Mainland, and they had always wanted to get rid of this laughingstock. Killing Fan Shun was one of their methods.
The Fan family was Cloud Valley's mortal enemy, and Jiuxiao had tried to help Cloud Valley's swordsman, but he had died tragically. If they helped Cloud Valley eliminate Fan Shun, not only would they regain some face, but they would also gain the favor of many people. This was because the Sixth Mainland was currently filled with hatred for the Fan family.
Fan Shun's situation was not good.
Soon, the people of the Nine Surnames made their moves, including their good friends.
However, they posed no threat to Fan Shun, and Fan Shun did not go on a killing spree. Killing the Nine Families would be too troublesome. Although the Martial Ancestor had died, he had died at the hands of the Eternals for the sake of the humans. This achievement was enough to benefit the Nine Families for billions of years. As long as they did not actively betray the humans, nothing would happen to them.
"Above the Sky Sect has summoned everyone. How long do you want to fight?"
Xiaoqing asked.
One of the Nine Families answered, "We'll talk about it after we eliminate that traitor, Fan Shun."
Fan Shun's gaze turned cold. "So, you want to keep the Daozi waiting?"
When he said this, the hearts of the Nine Families trembled. There was only one person who could become a Daozi, and that person was Lu Yin, the current ruler of the Fifth Mainland.
They dared to run amok in the Sixth Mainland, and with their Martial Ancestor's achievements, they were not even afraid of facing a Half-Ancestor. However, when a Daozi was mentioned, their expressions changed. That person could wipe out the entire Nine Families with a single sentence, and no one dared to oppose him.
Xiaoqing's eyes flickered. The Nine Families had run amok in the Sixth Mainland, so who could make them so afraid?
It could only be Lu Yin. They had clearly adventured together in the Daosource Sect's ruins, and the difference between their strengths had not been that great. How had it become so great now?
At that moment, a figure walked out, and a powerful aura suppressed everyone present to the point where they could not breathe.
When Xiaoqing saw this figure, she was the first to react. She bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Lan Xian."
Fan Shun then bowed as well. "Greetings, Lan Xian."
The Nine Families bowed in unison. "Greetings, Lan Xian."
Lan Xian calmly looked at them all. "A great battle is imminent, and instead of saving star energy to deal with the battlefield, what kind of people are killing each other here?"
One of the Nine Families respectfully said, "Reporting to Lan Xian, this person is Fan Shun, a traitor to the human race. Fan Chen is the City Lord of the Eternal Kingdom."
Lan Xian looked at Fan Shun.
Fan Shun respectfully replied, "My family has betrayed the human race, and this junior has betrayed my family."
Lan Xian nodded. "I know about the Fan family. Are you going to the battlefield?"
"Above the Sky Sect has summoned me. This junior is only willing to die on the battlefield," Fan Shun replied.
Lan Xian looked in the direction of the Technocracy. "You betrayed your family, but were not accepted by the human race. Do you regret it?"
Fan Shun calmly replied, "No."
The Nine Families wanted to say something, but when Lan Xian glanced at them, they hurriedly lowered their heads.
"Use your own methods to prove yourself, even if you have a clear conscience. After all, you are a member of the Fan family, and you have to make up for the Fan family's mistakes."
