The Fifth Mainland had completely assembled, and the cultivators were transported to the entrance of the Starfall Sea through the Half-Progenitor's inner world. Otherwise, it would have taken a long time for the cultivators to gather from all directions.
In the Outerverse, Wendy Yushan walked out of Zenyu Star with Liu Yefei beside her. They were now spending most of their time on Zenyu Star rather than in the Sect above.
"You don't have to participate," Feihua said to Wendy Yushan.
Wendy Yushan looked in the direction of the Starfall Sea. "Everyone has their own responsibilities, and I have people I want to protect as well."
Several weaves away, Hai Dashao and Hai Feng helplessly stopped and looked back. "Qiqi, come out."
There was no response.
Hai Feng raised a hand and flicked it, causing a ripple to spread out and push aside the void to reveal Hai Qiqi. "Brother, why are you using so much force? You're hurting me."
Hai Feng sternly replied, "The Fifth Mainland's assembly isn't child's play. Go back."
Hai Qiqi rolled her eyes. "Forget it. Last time, Lu Yin asked us to assemble, and nothing happened. You guys even saw a battle between Progenitors. I won't fall for his trick this time. I want to go and watch as well."
Hai Dashao barked, "Nonsense! How can you joke around on a battlefield of life and death?"
Hai Feng's gaze was stern. "Father led Lu Xuanjun to the battlefield behind the Astral Trees to experience life and death. Before he left, he told us to keep an eye on you. You're not allowed to follow. Go back."
"No, Lu Yin is just playing around. There won't be a war this time. I know him, and I can contact him if you don't believe me." Hai Qiqi then opened her gadget, but she couldn't contact Lu Yin even after trying for a long time.
Hai Dashao grabbed her and pulled her back.
Many people had the same thoughts as Hai Qiqi. The Sixth Mainland and the Astral Beast Domain were now under the control of the Sect above the Sect above the Astral Trees, and the Astral Trees had also reached an agreement. Both sides could still interact with each other, and there would be no war. To many people, this assembly was more like a training exercise.
"What a waste of time. It would be great if we had more time to cultivate. We might even be able to produce an Emissary." Outside the Sect above the Sect, cultivators arrived one after another and headed towards the assembly point. There, they would enter the Progenitor's inner world and be taken away.
"That's right, Lu Daozi has his authority, so there's no need to worry about it being nullified. He's been tormenting us all the time," someone replied helplessly. They weren't trying to slander Lu Yin, but that was what they truly thought. No one wanted to be disturbed every few days while they gathered together. Everyone had their own plans.
"Shut up!" someone shouted. Everyone looked over and saw an exasperated old man. It was Elder Tan from the Blaze Realm, the one who had competed with Ku Wei for flattery. "Impudent! How dare you speak ill of the Daoist? The Daoist cares about humanity. If it weren't for the Daoist, this region of space would have been enslaved by the Eternals long ago. If it weren't for the Daoist, you would have been captured by the Starry Sky Tree as cannon fodder.
. "" You heartless beasts. How long has it been since we last met? Have you forgotten Daoist's kindness? He is the heavens of this region. He is the ruler, the protector. You should respect him and treat him with sincerity. Look at you, look at what you're doing. You're all sneaky and biting the hand that feeds you … "
Many people stared blankly at Elder Tan. He pointed at a group of people and scolded them for almost an hour. He didn't repeat a single word and just continued to flatter them. Everyone was stunned.
This scene shocked the monkey greatly. He hadn't expected that Elder Tan's power level would increase so much in just a short period of time. No, he couldn't let this happen.
If the old thing saw Seventh Bro, then he would be in big trouble. Even Ku Wei's lackey couldn't compare to him.
The monkey looked at Elder Tan as if he were a formidable enemy.
On Earth, a man and a woman were enjoying a meal in an elegant restaurant. There was a giant statue of Lu Yin outside the restaurant.
The man wiped his mouth and looked at the woman with a gentle gaze. "Dana, this is the twenty-third day of our tour of the Outerverse."
"That's right. The Outerverse has too many beautiful sceneries, and we still have to continue traveling. Right, Ian?" Dana smiled. Her smile was very beautiful. The wild flower who had worn a low-cut dress that exposed her midriff, tight-fitting leather pants, and black boots had now become a dignified and beautiful lady. She had become so gentle.
An apologetic look flashed through Ian's eyes. "I'm sorry. Perhaps we should stop for a while."
Dana wasn't surprised. "You're returning to the Third Allied Army?"
Ian answered seriously, "My vacation can be delayed. Now that the Daoists have gathered on the Fifth Mainland, there will definitely be a battle. The Third Allied Army needs me."
Dana smiled and interlocked her fingers with Ian's. "Then go. I'll support you."
Ian nodded vigorously. He was now the commander of the Third Allied Army, and he was no longer Liuying Zishan's assistant. His status in the Celestial Sect was very high.
The higher his position, the more grateful he was to Lu Yin. Lu Yin had been his first opponent on Earth, and Lu Yin had recognized his worth. This person had turned his life upside down, and no matter what he had become, he would never forget this kindness. His sword was pointed at him, and he would face death with equanimity.
Cultivators gathered one after another in the Outerverse, Innerverse, Cosmic Sea, and Neoverse.
Two days later, Master Shan arrived at the entrance to the Starfall Sea. He raised his hand, and a glowing sphere flickered. Spacecraft after spacecraft appeared, and people walked out.
This sphere was a great world. Some Half-Ancestors used their inner worlds to bring people, while others could choose to use their great worlds to bring people.
Li Zimo stood in outer space and looked ahead. When he saw the entrance to the Starfall Sea, he was shocked. Was this the battlefield this time?
If that was the case, then they were about to start another war with the Eternals, and from the looks of it, the humans were likely to be the ones initiating the war.
All of the cultivators who had arrived had the same thought, and their expressions changed. Many people who had thought that this gathering would be the same as the previous one began to panic. Most of them had participated in the war against the Eternals, and they knew how cruel war could be. Their attitudes immediately changed, and this news quickly spread to the Fifth Mainland.
No one stopped them, as it was better to know that the enemy was the Eternals. Although there would be many deserters, the people who had come would have their mentality adjusted, which would be more beneficial to the war.
Not long after, Elder Gong arrived. Similarly, he brought a large group of cultivators with him. There were even more spaceships, and each spaceship was filled with cultivators.
The arrival of these cultivators would definitely cause a commotion and disputes. Master Shan and Elder Gong exchanged glances, but they did not need to care about these things. Once the war started, they would not have time to argue.
"Li Zimo, you traitor!" someone shouted from within a sword-shaped spacecraft. This spacecraft belonged to the Sword Sect, and the person who had shouted at Li Zimo was a girl called Liu Ying. She was also Liu Shaoqiu's cousin, just like Liu Ling. Her face flushed red as she glared at Li Zimo.
Beneath the stars, Li Zimo looked at the Sword Sect's spacecraft and exchanged glances with Liu Ying. An apologetic look flashed through his eyes, but he remained silent.
Liu Ying angrily rebuked, "You're actually Lu!" Just as she said that, she was interrupted.
She was pulled away.
Li Zimo's identity had long since been exposed. He had been arranged to join the Sword Sect by Lu Yin, and Li Zimo had told Lu Yin many things about the Sword Sect. That was how Lu Yin had been able to predict the enemy's movements.
After this matter was exposed, Li Zimo's days in the Sword Sect became difficult. Although Lu Yin had unified the Fifth Mainland, and even the Sword Sect had submitted to him, the Sword Sect did not dare to do anything to Li Zimo. However, Li Zimo could not stay in the Sword Sect any longer, so he simply left.
As for Liu Ying, everyone knew that she liked Li Zimo.
All of the Sword Sect's disciples coldly looked at Li Zimo. They did not dare to openly curse him, as he had Lu Yin's backing. However, they would not accept him either.
Li Zimo silently bowed to the Sword Sect's spacecraft, not to the Sword Sect, but to Elder Lianxin. In the entire Sword Sect, the person he owed the most was Elder Lianxin, his master.
Suddenly, a voice sounded out in his ear. "I don't blame you. Back then, when I faced Lu Yin's fatal attack, you saved me. Live well. This war will not be simple." It was Elder Lianxin's voice.
The apologetic look in Li Zimo's eyes deepened, and he bowed once more. He did not say a single word the entire time, and then he turned and left.
Liu Qianjue watched as Li Zimo left. Letting this person leave the Sword Sect was actually a loss for the Sword Sect. This person's comprehension of the Way of the Sword was no less than Shaoqiu's, which was a pity.
A day later, Hellwyrm arrived with two enormous sourceboxes from the Lockbreaker Realm. They had not been taken from the Six Primordial Spirit Array, but had been given to Lu Yin by Celestial Master Xiu. When Hellwyrm had heard that Lu Yin wanted to take down two sourceboxes, he had been so anxious that he had almost attacked Lu Yin. In the end, he had managed to find two sourceboxes for Lu Yin.
Everyone who had gathered, including the Half-Progenitors, stared at the sourceboxes in shock. Such enormous sourceboxes were quite rare.
Another day passed, and the five sealing planets arrived with Celestial Master Gu Yan.
Seven enormous sourceboxes were handed over to Celestial Master Gu Yan to set up. Lu Yin calculated the time and found that less than three days had passed since he had left the Cosmic Tree Realm. He would have to wait another two days at most before he could open the gap and attack the Starfall Sea. He did not know how long the Ruler's Realm could last. Perhaps a few days, or perhaps a few years.
Many Lockbreakers stared at Celestial Master Gu Yan as he set up the sourcebox array, but how could anyone below the level of an Origin Array Master understand it? Even an Origin Array Master would only be able to understand a tiny bit, and this tiny bit was not even the surface.
Even the Realm's Origin Array Masters could not comprehend it. Only those who had reached the level of an Origin Array Master would be able to comprehend something from Celestial Master Gu Yan's arrangement.
Celestial Master Xiu Mingshi had followed Lu Yin and stared at Celestial Master Gu Yan's arrangement. Celestial Master Shangsheng had done the same, and so had Lu Yin.
"Daozi, someone wishes to see you. They say that they have something very important to report about this battle," the Second Nightking reported respectfully.
Lu Yin stood in outer space with his hands clasped behind his back. "Who is it?"
"A woman called Zi Jing," the Second Nightking replied.
Lu Yin was astonished. Zi Jing?
She was the founder of the Interstellar Network, and she was the one who had connected the entire Fifth Mainland to the network. She had also been the one who had contacted Shui Chuanxiao, who had given up half of the Endless Weave and forced the humans to connect to the network. Lu Yin had interacted with this woman several times and had a good impression of her. She had also helped him before, so why was she looking for him now?
Was it related to this battle?
"Let her come," Lu Yin said.
Zi Jing soon arrived, and Lu Yin turned around. "What's the matter?"
She smiled. "I need to give you some assistance."
Lu Yin was puzzled. "What assistance?"
