Elder Chan had partially retired, and he had been invited to the Shenwu Continent by Lu Yin. Now, the person in charge of this place was Senior Qing Ping.
Ever since Senior Brother Qing Ping had broken through to the Half Martial Ancestor Realm and returned, they had yet to see him. Thus, they wondered how he was doing right now.
"Senior Brother, who is in charge of the Interstellar Arbitration Center now?"
Lu Yin and Qing Ping sat facing each other on a tree trunk.
The current Senior Brother Qing Ping was somewhat different from before. He was less mysterious and more leisurely. His temperament was closer to that of Elder Chan. This was the change brought about by the difference in status.
The former head inquisitor of the Interstellar Arbitration Institute was definitely not suitable to be in charge of the Hall of Honor.
"Mu En," Qing Ping said.
Lu Yin nodded. "Presiding Judge Muen is very suitable."
Qing Ping looked at Lu Yin. "The Astral Source Universe is undergoing a huge change. If too much time passes, the path of cultivation will eventually be replaced by technology. The signs of this happening are already very obvious."
"I know. Don't worry, it'll be over soon."
Qing Ping was surprised. "Can it be resolved?"
Lu Yin smiled. "Seventy percent."
Qing Ping nodded and did not ask further.
"Senior Brother, the Heavenly Conference will be held in a month. Remember to be on time," Lu Yin said before leaving.
This news was not only spread to Qing Ping, but also to the Half-Martial Ancestors of the Fifth Mainland. At the same time, it was also spread to the Starry Sky Tree.
However, this wasn't the only piece of news that reached the Starry Sky of Trees. There was another piece of news that really caught the attention of Bai Wangyuan and the others.
"Daolord?"
Dragon Ancestor was shocked.
Wang Fan replied, "That's right. According to the news from the Fifth Mainland, Lu Xiaoxuan wants to call himself a Dao Master and remove himself from the role of Heaven's Envoy."
"What a joke, an emissary wants to call himself a Daoist Master," the Dragon Ancestor said disdainfully.
Bai Wangyuan didn't mind at all. "Let him be. Even if he's a Dao Master, so what if he's a Progenitor? He's the one who reigns supreme in the Wasteland, and he's the one with the final say. However, once he calls himself a Dao Master, he'll have to pay a price. Even though we haven't been accepted by the Six Directions Society in recent years, we've never been ignored. To the Six Directions Society, the title 'Dao Master' has a special meaning. If Lu Xiaoxuan wants to bear the responsibility, then let him."
To Bai Wangyuan and the others, the problem of the Fifth Mainland's Astral Source Universe had not been resolved, and their cultivation civilization had been severed. No matter what Lu Yin claimed to be, it did not affect them.
Under this premise, a month passed, and the Heavens Conference was successfully held.
The scale of this gathering in the Heavens above this time was not as grand as it had been when he had become a Daoist. Even the cultivation of a Half-Martial Ancestor was completely weakened, and he could only rely on his physical strength to cross the starry sky. As for the other cultivators, they were all in low spirits, and they could not see the magnificence of the Heavens above at all.
No one could understand why Lu Yin would call for a meeting at such a time.
Furthermore, the rumor that Lu Yin wanted to call himself a Daolord had not only spread throughout the Cosmic Tree Domain, but it had also spread throughout the Fifth Mainland, which had caused many to feel strange.
What was the point of holding a heavenly meeting and becoming a Dao Lord if they did not solve the problem of the Stellar Source Universe?
Just for a mere reputation?
More than one person had sought him out, but the answer they received was that the Celestial Meet would continue as usual. As for the rumors, he had never acknowledged them.
He ascended the stairway step by step. There were cultivators on both sides of the stairway, all of them looking at him in confusion.
Lu Yin stared at the Primogenitor's statue, hoping that the Book of Destiny's answer could truly save this region of space-time. If it couldn't, then there was nothing else he could do. Did he really have to break through to the Progenitor realm and change the world?
It was just like how the Rune Ancestor had brought about the rune path civilization, and how Gu Yizhi had created battle qi and domains.
In the Technocracy, the Xinkong Corridor exited.
A figure appeared; it was Bai Wangyuan.
After he appeared, he tore through the void and headed towards the Above Heaven Sect.
No one had been able to detect his arrival.
Lu Yin walked step by step to the top of the Above Heaven Sect, getting closer and closer to the Primogenitor's statue.
The two Progenitors, Elder Chan and the Blood Progenitor, should be in front of the statue. However, Elder Chan had to oversee the Shenwu Continent and could not come here. Thus, aside from Lu Yin, the closest person to the statue was the Blood Progenitor. Below him were Lu Buzheng and the other Half-Progenitors, including Master Shan and the others. Even though they had severed their own cultivations and could not even maintain their Half-Progenitor cultivation, their status had not dropped.
Lu Yin walked up to the Primogenitor's statue and bowed before it. He then turned around and faced everyone else.
At that moment, his image spread throughout the Fifth Mainland.
However, it did not cause much of a commotion, as no one was in the mood to be shocked by this scene. They were all hoping that the Stellar Source Universe would return to normal so that they could continue cultivating.
"Does anyone not recognize me?"
This was the first thing Lu Yin said when he spoke.
On the various planets of the Fifth Mainland, there were spacecraft after spacecraft, and there were even some vast lands. Everyone who saw this scene was confused, as they did not understand what Lu Yin meant.
Lu Yin's gaze swept across everyone. "The Above Heaven Sect has not only gathered the Half-Progenitors in front of me, but also the Envoys and everyone who has seen me. Everyone on the Fifth Mainland who is under the Above Heaven Sect's protection should know who I am.
"My name is Lu Yin, and I've risen to prominence in this universe over the past few decades. I've participated in many battles, and I've dealt with enemies one after another. You should all know who I am. Back then, when the heavens changed and powerful enemies invaded, who was the one who turned the tide?
The Outerverse's eastern weaves were sent out and faced with the enemy's sharp claws. Who was the one who initiated the war?
The Eternals slaughtered the universe, and who was the one who sealed the entrance?
Who was the one who enlightened the universe, and who was the one who repelled the Progenitors? "
"It was me, and I'm standing here. Do you see me?
I'm still standing here today. "
When they heard Lu Yin's words, everyone on the Fifth Mainland couldn't help but stare at the screen.
In the Neoverse, Ya Ya's eyes were red. When the Sixth Mainland had invaded, the Cosmic Sea had been overturned, and her parents had died tragically. She had been left alone to survive, and she would never forget that moment of despair. She had met some people, and if not for Lu Yin, she might not have lived long enough to be discovered by the Hall of Honor.
In the Outerverse, Elder Lohar clenched his fists. The war in Ironblood Weave had been fought by the Great Eastern Alliance against the Astral Beast Domain. How could they forget that?
It was this young man who had turned the tide time and time again. He had narrowly escaped death time and time again, and he had saved countless lives.
To many, he was their faith.
The Heavenly Master looked at Lu Yin with admiration. The Eternals had invaded, and the Astral Source Universe had been devoured. Yes, this child had done everything he could to seal the entrance to the Starfall Sea, which had saved humanity's life.
The Blood Ancestor nodded. It was Lu Yin who had pulled him back from the entrance to the Starfall Sea. Otherwise, he would still be stuck outside the Starfall Sea. How could he have survived?
Too many things had happened in the Fifth Mainland over the past few decades. Whether it was the Astral Combat Tournament, the intense battles in the Supreme Astral Tournament, or the battlefield of the Samsara Grinders, one person could be seen everywhere: Lu Yin. Whenever he appeared, any desperate situation would no longer seem hopeless.
Everyone in the Fifth Mainland had experienced some sort of disaster, and every cultivator had experienced some sort of pain, but they had all managed to survive in the end.
Countless people recalled the past, and when they saw Lu Yin's image on the screen, their eyes filled with hope.
Those who had despaired and wanted to escape this region of space were filled with hope once more.
Lu Yin.
"The Progenitor realm is the pinnacle of human cultivation. More than one Progenitor has come to this region in the past. They wanted to enslave us and destroy us, but I defeated them all. With me around, what are you afraid of?"
"Problems with the Astral Source Universe?
Trust me, it will be resolved. I, Lu Yin, guarantee that it will be resolved now and in the future. "
"My name is Lu Yin, and I am the Fifth Mainland's Dao Child. I walk on behalf of the heavens, and as long as I am willing, there is nothing that cannot be resolved. Why should you be afraid or depressed? Human history has never been smooth sailing, and this chapter will pass sooner or later. No one knows how many geniuses will be born during this period."
"Elites are born in favorable circumstances, and only in dire straits can heroes be born. I hope that in a few years, or even a few decades, a group of people from this era will stand by my side. They will walk out of despair and bring humanity true hope. That day will definitely come."
"Why can't it be you?"
"Do you all believe in me?"
This one sentence ignited the blood of countless people. One cultivator after another stood up and excitedly looked at the screen. In the Above Heaven, the dispirited cultivators cheered fervently, "We do!"
"We do!"
"We believe in the Dao Child!"
"We believe that the Dao Child can resolve this disaster!"
"The Dao Child is invincible!"
"The Dao Child is invincible!"
"The Dao Child is invincible!"
…
In outer space, Bai Wangyuan's expression turned ugly. He could hear countless voices calling out Lu Yin's name. This kid's rallying power in the Abandoned Wastelands was ridiculous. Even the Lu family had not had such great rallying power in the Astral Tree Domain. What exactly had this kid done?
It was as if he had become the faith of an entire generation.
Suddenly, Bai Wangyuan thought of something, and he took a step forward to appear outside the Above Heaven.
Outside the Above Heaven, the Hellwyrm stared at where Bai Wangyuan had appeared and bared its fangs.
The Ancestral Tortoise retracted its head and faced Bai Wangyuan with its butt.
Lu Yin looked up. Indeed, the Ancestral Tortoise had arrived. He looked at the Second Nightking.
The Second Nightking roared, "Dao Child, you are no longer suitable to be a Dao Child!"
Countless people fell silent as they stared at the Second Nightking. Was he rebelling?
Lu Buzheng and the rest were stunned. Had the Second Nightking gone mad?
The Second Nightking shouted, "Only the title 'Dao Master' is more suitable for you."
Everyone's eyes widened, and they all shouted, "Dao Master!"
"Dao Master!"
"Dao Master!"
…
The Blood Ancestor was astonished. Dao Master?
He knew that Lu Yin would definitely become a Dao Master in the future, but not now.
Lu Buzheng glanced at the Second Nightking and knew what was going on.
The Fate Daughter frowned; the title 'Dao Master' had actually appeared.
"Shut up!" A stern voice rang out through the heavens, exploding in everyone's ears.
Everyone looked up and saw Bai Wangyuan walk out. His expression was gloomy as he stared at Lu Yin. "The title 'Dao Master' is not up to you."
"Bai Wangyuan, are you trying to cause trouble in the Above Heaven?"
The Blood Ancestor shouted.
Bai Wangyuan stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked back at him. "Bai Wangyuan, are you provoking the Above Heaven?"
Bai Wangyuan replied, "The Dao Master represents the entire Fifth Mainland, including the Astral Tree Realm. If you call yourself the Dao Master, the Astral Tree Realm will not agree."
"Who asked for your opinion?" Kui Luo shouted.
