Lu Yin raised a hand and grabbed at the air. Perhaps there was a higher civilization just a step away from him that was observing him like he was observing Xiao Bai. He laughed at himself; it was not impossible.
Destiny was determined by the heavens, and who knew who that heavens were?
If Lu Yin wanted to, he could give any person on the Prairie Flame Continent a great opportunity, and that person would view him as the heavens. Then, who was the heavens that viewed him as an ant?
Was it someone with a power level in the hundreds of thousands?
Or was it the Dream Finger?
"Seventh Bro, who was that person? You seem to hate him a lot," the monkey asked.
Lu Yin looked up at the sky with a melancholy expression. He had unknowingly been overthinking things. "It has nothing to do with you."
The monkey shrieked, "Damn, Seventh Bro, we're one! What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? If he's your enemy, then he's my enemy as well. Tell me, and I'll curse him to death."
Lu Yin frowned, as the monkey was becoming more and more strange. How should he put it? At first, the monkey had been relatively cold, but as time passed, he had become a chatterbox. Was this his nature, or was he lonely because he was trapped in Lu Yin's arm?
He had let himself loose.
"Monkey, are you lonely?" Lu Yin asked.
The monkey froze and did not speak for a long time. "Seventh Bro, what do you mean?"
"Sometimes, you talk too much."
The monkey fell silent.
Ding! Lu Yin's gadget beeped with a notification from an unknown number. It was a conversation log.
"Representative Liu has just arrived in San Dios, so you might not be familiar with the situation. Lu Yin is arrogant, and he abuses his power. He even colludes with pirates. I know why Arbiter Zhenwu sent you here, but I have to remind you to be careful."
"Thank you for the reminder, Councilor Puyu. Lu Yin and I are old friends, so I know a little about him."
"That's good. Where does Representative Liu plan to start?"
"Does Councilor Puyu have any good suggestions?"
"I don't have any suggestions, but this person comes from the same place as Representative Liu. Perhaps we can start from there."
"Haha, thank you for the reminder, Councilor Puyu."
"I wouldn't dare to say that, but I'm just saying a few words. Right, there are many things you can ask Bazeer. He used to be in charge of the Great Yu Empire's Youth Council, but he has a grudge against Lu Yin and is currently imprisoned.....
"Understood …"
…
This detailed conversation had come from Puyu and Liu Shaoge, and the person who had sent it to Lu Yin was none other than Liu Shaoge.
"Brother Lu, let's talk!" Liu Shaoge sent a message to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. "Sure."
Two people who came from Earth had embarked on different paths, but they met at the same place.
To Lu Yin, Liu Shaoge was someone he had to kill, but he couldn't do so at the moment. Besides, he wanted to see what Liu Shaoge wanted to do.
They were still at the edge of San Dios when Liu Shaoge slowly walked over. There was a hint of a smile in his eyes, and there was an indescribable charm about him. He stopped three meters away from Lu Yin. "Brother Lu, the scenery here must be beautiful."
"I don't believe that you can block my attack. It's not impossible for me to kill you."
Liu Shaoge's lips curled up, and he walked over to Lu Yin's side. "That's right. Brother Lu is unequaled in the Limiteer realm, and he's a publicly acknowledged Ten Arbiters candidate. At the very least, there are no more than five people in the Limiteer realm who can withstand Brother Lu's killing intent, and that doesn't include me."
"Then why did you dare to meet me alone?" Lu Yin turned to look at Liu Shaoge, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.
Liu Shaoge stretched lazily and raised his right hand, palm facing down. "Brother Lu, guess what I saw?"
Lu Yin did not answer.
Liu Shaoge's tone was high. "Ruler." He then looked at Lu Yin seriously. "This position allows one to rule over the entire Prairie Flame Continent, just like how you used your authority as a councilor to decide the life and death of Firesmelt Planet. I saw this."
Lu Yin sneered. "Liu Shaoge, don't try to trick me. I've never ruled over anyone."
"Brother Lu, you misunderstand. Someone like Puyu is not attractive to me. Although he's a councilor of the Outerverse Youth Council and is even on the Top 100 Rankings, he's not on the same level as Brother Lu. I'm not that short-sighted to work with him to deal with Brother Lu," Liu Shaoge said disdainfully.
Lu Yin laughed. "Dealing with me is not just Puyu's idea, but also the idea of the person behind you. You're confident that with Arbiter Zhenwu, I won't dare to kill you. That's what you're relying on."
Liu Shaoge smiled. "On one hand, the real reason why I'm not afraid of Brother Lu is not Arbiter Zhenwu. I believe that even if Brother Lu kills me, you're confident that Arbiter Zhenwu won't be able to touch you, just like how you saved Zhuo Daynight."
Lu Yin muttered to himself. Liu Shaoge knew more than he had expected, which proved that this person's status in the Daynight clan was not low.
"Brother Lu is like me, and we both want to rule. That's what I'm relying on," Liu Shaoge said confidently.
Lu Yin's eyes were filled with disdain. "I've already said that I've never wanted to rule over anyone."
"Wrong. Brother Lu's actions are to rule. Would Brother Lu allow the Great Yu Empire's throne to fall to someone else?
Even if it's Wendy Yushan, would Brother Lu allow the position of councilor to be lost?
Would Brother Lu allow someone in the same realm to be above you?
All of this proves that Brother Lu's ambitions are greater than the heavens, "Liu Shaoge said sharply.
Lu Yin raised a hand to stop Liu Shaoge. "Liu Shaoge, there's no need to guess my thoughts. Your words are laughable. Is this how you managed to curry favor with Arbiter Zhenwu?"
A hint of a smile flashed across Liu Shaoge's eyes. "Perhaps. Since Brother Lu doesn't want to hear about this, I'll change the topic." Liu Shaoge paused for a moment before continuing, "Has Brother Lu ever thought about controlling East San Dios?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, and he stared at Liu Shaoge. "Are you crazy?"
Liu Shaoge smiled. "Brother Lu, just treat me as if I'm crazy. I hope that we can work together to deal with Puyu and control East San Dios together."
Lu Yin sneered and immediately refused. "I know why Arbiter Zhenwu sent you here. First, it's to deal with me, and second, it's to prepare for the Daynight clan's future entry into San Dios. Rather than working with me, you should think about how to work with Puyu." Lu Yin then turned to leave.
Liu Shaoge looked at Lu Yin's back. "From Earth to the Great Yu Empire, to Astral-10, and now to San Dios, Brother Lu has done all of this under the premise that you've been prepared. Puyu ordered Bazeer to humiliate Brother Lu in the Great Yu Empire, and Brother Lu will not forget that."
Lu Yin continued to walk towards San Dios, not stopping at all.
Liu Shaoge continued, saying, "Given Brother Lu's character, since you've decided to deal with Bazeer, you definitely won't let Puyu off. Previously, the pirates attacked more than a hundred organizations, and the powerhouses cut off Darkstar Gorge. However, these are not Brother Lu's methods to deal with Puyu. It's too obvious."
Lu Yin still did not stop, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"I believe that Brother Lu has already made ample preparations to deal with Puyu. In fact, you've already made your move, but Puyu hasn't noticed." Liu Shaoge's tone was heavy.
Lu Yin stopped in his tracks. "You're overthinking things."
"Is that so? I, Liu Shaoge, was able to enter Arbiter Zhenwu's eyes as an Earthling and reach my current position. Although I don't have absolute power or innate talent, I'm still quite good at reading people. I'm certain that Brother Lu Yin has full confidence in dealing with Puyu. Since that's the case, why should I work with a loser?"
Lu Yin turned around. "You were sent by Arbiter Zhenwu to deal with me. If you work with me, aren't you afraid of Nightking Zhenwu?"
Liu Shaoge smiled. "Dealing with you is my goal, and the method is mine. However, only I know my true goal. Arbiter Zhenwu is not a god. How about it, Brother Lu? Do you have the guts to work with me so that we can control San Dios together?"
Lu Yin crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. He looked at Liu Shaoge with interest. "I'm very curious. Since you're certain that I can deal with Puyu, why would you work with me to control San Dios?
If I can deal with Puyu, then I can deal with you as well. "
Liu Shaoge spread out his hands. "It's simple. Because I'm Arbiter Zhenwu's subordinate. Unless it's a crime of betraying humanity, no one can touch me. Brother Lu, take a guess. Do you have the ability to accuse me of betraying humanity?"
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. Betraying humanity?
That was the crime that he had accused Puyu An of.
"If you can't touch me, then let's work together. At the very least, I won't hinder Brother Lu from doing anything. You and I can put on a good show for the Arbiters. After all, we're both from Earth, and we'll both serve Earth in the future." Liu Shaoge smiled.
Lu Yin looked at Liu Shaoge and considered how to deal with this person. This was very troublesome. Arbiter Zhenwu's backing was quite powerful, and his reputation had reached a peak after he had thrown Shui Chuanxiao into Kun's Swamp. Liu Shaoge was right. Unless Lu Yin had betrayed humanity, there was no way to deal with him. However, the crime of betraying humanity was not that easy to find. If the Neohuman Alliance was that easy to find, then it would not have been able to hide for so many years.
Liu Shaoge looked at Lu Yin in distress. "Brother Lu, it looks like you still remember your grudge with Earth."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed coldly. "I won't."
Liu Shaoge helplessly activated his gadget and sent Lu Yin a few names.
Lu Yin looked at them in confusion. There were a total of four names: Amethyst Trading Company, Aegis, the Nalan family, and Endless Borders.
"Brother Lu should be clear about one principle: no matter what you do, money is the most important," Liu Shaoge said.
Lu Yin's eyes lit up, as he absolutely agreed with Liu Shaoge's words.
"Whether it's personal life or power struggles, there's nothing to talk about without money. Since ancient times, the changes of imperial authority and Weaves have not only been fought over powerhouses, but also over resources. These four names represent the four wealthiest corporations in the Outerverse, and they'll be meeting soon to discuss some cooperation." Liu Shaoge looked at Lu Yin with confidence in his eyes.
"What does that have to do with me?" Lu Yin asked coldly.
Liu Shaoge's lips curled up. "It doesn't seem to matter for now, but who knows what will happen in the future? There might come a day when Brother Lu needs money."
I won't need money every day, Lu Yin thought to himself.
