What a headache!
Mira looked at Lu Yin helplessly. This was the first time she had realized how troublesome it was to have too many identities. Lu Yin wasn't afraid of anything, and he had rushed to San Dios by relying on his multiple identities. He was certain that no one would dare to kill him, and he had also relied on his multiple identities to roam the universe by himself.
"You're quite troublesome," Mira commented helplessly.
Lu Yin laughed. He was a two star Discerning Junior Lockbreaker with two Honor Points, a member of the Council of Astral Academy, and a subordinate member of the Outerverse Youth Council. These identities were enough to protect his life. How interesting. It seemed that the more identities one had, the better.
"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. You're like a porcupine, and it's inconvenient to attack anywhere." Mira rolled her eyes.
Lu Yin smiled. "No matter what, I still have to thank you, Sister Mira."
Mira's eyes lit up, and she lifted Lu Yin's chin. "If you really want to thank me, then answer a question."
"You're prettier," Lu Yin said seriously.
Mira was speechless. "You haven't asked yet."
"No matter who I'm compared to, you're still the prettiest," Lu Yin said confidently.
Mira chuckled. "Alright, I'll accept your compliment and pass it on to Wendy Yushan."
Lu Yin was stumped, and he left speechlessly. This woman was crazy, and she seemed to enjoy sowing discord.
After leaving the tower, Lu Yin released his domain and relaxed his mind. San Dios wasn't very large, and he looked around before finally looking at the edge. Looking down from the edge of San Dios shouldn't be too bad.
The five arched gates of San Dios were very eye-catching, and the powerhouses guarding them were all Cruisers. They weren't from the younger generation, but rather experts from the Prairie Flame Continent.
Lu Yin walked to a spot not far from the arched door and looked down. Layers of clouds blocked his view, but he raised a hand and pressed down with his energy, dispersing the clouds to reveal a vast continent.
Looking down from above, the scenery was indeed different.
At that moment, a figure filled with murderous intent appeared a hundred meters behind Lu Yin and stabbed a sword at him. It was Yan Feng.
Lu Yin had noticed him long ago, but he didn't care.
The Cruiser guarding the arched gates immediately acted. He was qualified to guard San Dios, and his strength was far above his peers. He quickly suppressed the heavily injured Yan Feng and pressed him to the ground.
Yan Feng raised his head and glared at Lu Yin. "You'll die a horrible death, Lu Yin! You killed so many people on Firesmelt Planet, and I'll definitely avenge you!"
Lu Yin walked over to Yan Feng and slowly squatted down. "You saw the battle on Firesmelt Planet. Your father, Yan Wujiu, was the one who killed so many people there, not me."
"You're the one who started this war! My father had no choice but to do so! Lu Yin, you'll have to pay with your life for the countless people on Firesmelt Planet! You'll have to pay with your life for my father's!"
Lu Yin sighed and patted Yan Feng's shoulder. "Your life is too tiring. Go and follow your father." He then stood up. At this moment, Yan Feng's eyes were bloodshot, and his head slowly drooped. Lu Yin's strength had penetrated his body, shattering his organs, and he had died.
The Cruiser who had been suppressing Yan Feng narrowed his eyes, and he looked at Lu Yin fearfully before returning to his post.
Ambushing a councilor was a huge crime, but Lu Yin would not take any responsibility for killing Yan Feng.
The final threat of Firesmelt Planet had been eliminated, and Lu Yin stretched lazily. From now on, Firesmelt Planet would no longer be known as such. He raised his arm and activated his gadget. "Formulate a battle plan to unify Frostwave Weave."
"Yes, Your Highness," Huo Qingshan replied.
"Seventh Bro, did you purposely walk here to give Yan Feng an opportunity to assassinate you?" the monkey asked.
Lu Yin blinked. "Who knows? He's already gone mad, and he's already dead."
"How terrifying," the monkey muttered.
The only person who could threaten Lu Yin in San Dios was Puyu, but he could not deal with him for the time being. Lu Yin was not in a hurry to deal with him either. If Puyu was finished, then so was Lu Yin.
Over the next few days, Lu Yin calmly stayed in San Dios, and no one came looking for trouble.
Puyu had been investigating the situation on Firesmelt Planet, but strangely enough, he had not come looking for trouble. This could only mean that there were bigger storms waiting to happen.
The other councilors who were Wendy Yushan's subordinates did not take the initiative to curry favor with Lu Yin, but he did not mind. When Puyu had tried to rope them in, they had only pretended to agree. These people's desire to survive was greater than their desire to fight for power.
During this time, Lu Yin felt a little awkward: Michelle had contacted him.
He had promised Michelle that he would help her comprehend battle force, but he had delayed it again and again. This was already the third time, and Lu Yin felt a little embarrassed.
The Great Yu Empire's battle plan to unify Frostwave Weave had already been formulated, and it was progressing at an unimaginable speed.
Lu Yin did not need to guess to know that this plan had already been formulated when Undying Yushan had been in power. However, due to various reasons, it had not been realized, and now was the best time to execute it.
He had wanted to use this plan to keep Wendy Yushan in the Great Yu Empire, but unfortunately, that woman's ambitions did not lie there. She planned to enter seclusion for a few days before coming to San Dios.
Jenny Auna had already been sent back to Zenyu Star and handed over to the Auna family.
Xueshan Auna was extremely grateful to Lu Yin for this. No matter how much he wanted to use Jenny Auna, she was still his daughter. Lu Yin had not killed her, which was a huge favor to Xueshan Auna.
Over the past two days, Lu Yin had been searching for information on Bushtree Planet. He planned to go harvest some natural treasures in a few days, but earning money was troublesome. Without money, natural treasures would be useless.
The fastest way to earn money was to lockbreak.
It seemed like it was time to earn some money.
Wait, Lu Yin suddenly thought of something. There should have been a lot of spoils from attacking Firesmelt Planet, so why hadn't he gotten any?
He immediately contacted Huo Qingshan, who had a strange expression. "Your Highness, all the spoils from attacking Firesmelt Planet must be handed over to the treasury."
"I don't get any?" Lu Yin was unhappy.
Huo Qingshan thought about it. "Your Highness, the empire's reconstruction requires too many resources, and the plan to unify the Frostwave Weave has just been formulated. The greatest difficulty in implementing it is the lack of resources. You-" "Fine, fine, I understand." Lu Yin grew impatient. "You just don't have money, right?"
Huo Qingshan replied, "You shouldn't be asking me, Your Highness. You should be asking the new finance minister, Gavin."
Lu Yin turned off the screen. War was a huge money-grubbing machine, so it was normal to not have money.
"Seventh Bro, you're too greedy!" the monkey shrieked.
Lu Yin rolled his eyes, as no one could understand his pain. As long as he had money, his power would grow rapidly. Unfortunately, earning money was too difficult, and it would be great if he had the support of a large financial group.
Lu Yin thought of Darkvoid; he was a seed of Shamrock Enterprises, so he shouldn't have to worry about money. Lu Yin was most jealous of Lulu, as she had taken out so much money without batting an eye. She was too rich.
Speaking of which, Lu Yin still owed Lulu a large sum of money, and he didn't know if she had gone to the Great Yu Empire. It was impossible for her to search for information on the Seven Courts, so her efforts were destined to be in vain.
At this point, Barley requested an audience.
"Representative Lu, there are nominals from the Innerverse who wish to officially enter San Dios," Barley said happily.
Lu Yin was surprised. "Nominals?
Who? "
"Yue Xianzi and An Shaohua," Barley replied.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Why are they coming to San Dios at this time?"
Barley replied, "They've probably heard of your reputation, Representative Lu, and they're here because of it."
Lu Yin laughed; they're here because of his reputation?
It would be strange if Yue Xianzi didn't curse him to death. That woman had been swindled by him back on the Shenwu Continent. "When will they arrive?"
"In the next two days," Barley replied.
Lu Yin rubbed his chin. "Tell them that I'm not a place where anyone can come as they please. Since they're nominals, they should stay there until the end."
Barley was flabbergasted and confused. A few days ago, Lu Yin had clearly wanted to recruit nominals, so why had he changed his mind?
"Just tell them that." Lu Yin waved a hand.
Barley hurriedly agreed.
"Seventh Bro, what are you planning?" The monkey was curious.
Lu Yin smiled. "Why do you think they're coming to San Dios at this time?
Logically speaking, if they really want to join the Outerverse Youth Council, they should look for Puyu. With their status as heirs of Innerverse organizations, Puyu wouldn't mistreat them. Instead, they've come looking for me, and don't forget that Yue Xianzi has a grudge against me. "
The monkey guessed. "Is it because of the strength you displayed?"
Lu Yin nodded. "That's ninety percent likely. At present, there are only a few true candidates for the Ten Arbiters' position in the Innerverse and Outerverse, and there are also Ten Arbiters who are about to leave the younger generation. The competition for the Ten Arbiters' position is about to begin."
"Even if it's a competition, it won't be for you, Seventh Bro. You're just a Limiteer. I believe that there are Explorers who can take over the Ten Arbiters' position, like the top ten of the Top 100 Rankings."
Lu Yin looked up. "That's foresight. What does a monkey like you know?"
"If you really want to compete, you should rope in those people," the monkey said.
"I'm not sure, but I'll give it a try. If they really want to join me, then they'll have to show some sincerity."
"Don't be mistaken. Don't forget that Yue Xianzi's Frostmoon Sect is in the Daynight Flowzone. Do you think they'll openly join you?"
Lu Yin smiled. "Every generation has its own rules. Although Yue Xianzi is the young matriarch of the Frostmoon Sect, there are other disciples besides her. Some of those disciples are more than ten years older than her, and they might all be supporting the Daynight clan, so they don't care about her at all. Besides, she definitely has her reasons for joining me."
The monkey mumbled, "You're always right."
On the other side, Barley relayed the message to Yue Xianzi and An Shaohua, but their reactions were different. An Shaohua was flabbergasted, and then he asked Barley how he could enter San Dios. Yue Xianzi gritted her teeth in anger, but the result was the same. She wanted to join Lu Yin.
Lu Yin thought about it. "It's not that they can't join me, but the Great Yu Empire's finances have been tight lately, and I'm having a headache over this. Tell them to wait a bit."
Barley was stunned. Is this … is this extortion?
The monkey was speechless. "Seventh Bro, your money-grubbing problem is a little serious."
Lu Yin's lips curled up, as he did not care. Just as the monkey had said, even if one of the Ten Arbiters abdicated, Lu Yin would not be able to take over. Thus, there was no need for him to be in a hurry to recruit talents. Furthermore, neither Yue Xianzi nor An Shaohua were particularly important talents, and this was his market. Aside from him, these two would not be able to find anyone else to compete for the position of Ten Arbiters in the future.
