When he heard Nightqueen Qiuyu's words, Karthika was stunned. Then, he recalled Lu Yin's words and realized that it couldn't be such a coincidence. "Mu Rong's here?"
"How do you know?"
"Lu Yin said so. He said that Mu Rong and Ling Que will definitely come. If they do, then we'll be in trouble."
A cold glint flashed through Nightqueen Qiuyu's eyes. A mere junior actually dared to recklessly speculate about an Enlighter? Since when had a Limiteer become so bold? However, this was the perfect time to make use of him. Without him, the Daynight clan truly did not have any powerhouses who could break out of this situation. "Do as I say and let him fall into our trap."
"But this person isn't on our side. Even if he's involved, he might not necessarily help us," Cadgar said.
Nightqueen Qiuyu grew impatient. "I know that. Someone else will talk to him. Just leave."
Karthika thought about it for a moment. "Alright, I hope that your decision is correct." He then hung up and looked in the direction of the palace with a look of unwillingness. How long had it been since they had last met? Even a dignified Enlighter had been forced to go back on his word.
However, for the sake of the pyrolyte ore, he had to endure. As he thought about it, he converged his voice into a single line and transmitted it into Lu Yin's ears.
Lu Yin had just returned to King Zishan's palace and was planning to rest while worrying about how to deal with Hai Qiqi when he heard Karthika's voice. He froze for a moment, and then his lips curled up. "It seems like someone incredible has arrived. Is it Mu Rong, Ling Que, or even both?
Interesting. Unfortunately, I can't join this show. "
Even if he managed to obtain the pyrolyte ore, it would still end up in the hands of someone else. The best outcome would be for it to end up in the Sea King's Dome's hands in exchange for the Sea King's promise to protect the Great Yu Empire. On the other hand, Lu Yin would be branded with the Sea King's Dome's mark, and the Sea King's Dome would not be able to participate in the disputes between the Innerverse and Outerverse powers. Lu Yin would be permanently imprisoned, which was not what he wanted. In the end, he would definitely offend the Daynight clan, Sword Sect, Wen family, and many other powers, so the gains would not make up for the losses.
However, this was still the best case scenario. The worst case scenario was that he would not be able to obtain anything and would even offend the various powerful sects. He would then have no choice but to ask the Sea King's Dome for protection, but he would also be branded with the Sea King's Dome's symbol and be imprisoned. He would never be able to participate in the disputes between the Innerverse and Outerverse powers, and he might even be forced to stay in the Starfall Sea forever.
No, that was not the worst possible outcome. The worst possible outcome was that even the Sea King's Dome had given up on him, which meant that he would be surrounded on all sides. That was the worst possible outcome.
The Great Yu Empire had always been Lu Yin's greatest weakness, and Nightking Yuanjing had relied on this weakness to slowly gain benefits from Lu Yin. Lu Yin could not afford to give the other great powers another opportunity to take advantage of him.
Beep beep beep
Lu Yin's gadget beeped, and he looked at it. He was speechless, as he had just thought of Nightking Yuanjing when the latter had contacted him. Karthika's retreat was most likely the Daynight clan's intentions. Was the Daynight clan under that much pressure?
She actually wanted him to make a move.
When the call connected, Nightking Yuanjing's image appeared on the screen, and he looked at Lu Yin with a serious expression. "Little Yin, why didn't you ask Grandpa for help with Karthika?
Are you treating me as an outsider? "
Shameless, Lu Yin cursed inwardly.
"Shameless!" the monkey said.
"Grandpa Yuanjing, what are you saying? It's just that Karthika is an almighty Enlighter, and Little Yin doesn't want to make things difficult for Grandpa." Lu Yin pretended to be wronged.
Nightking Yuanjing sighed. "Grandpa just found out, and he immediately contacted the Divine Grade Hall to have them transfer Karthika away. I never thought that an Enlighter would personally threaten a junior. How embarrassing."
Lu Yin did not speak, and he only looked at Nightking Yuanjing gratefully.
Nightking Yuanjing paused and looked at Lu Yin. "Little Yin, don't worry. Grandpa guarantees that this matter will not happen again. Grandpa promised to protect the Frostwave Weave, so I'll definitely see it through. You can rest assured and do whatever you want. Karthika won't dare to come back."
"Thank you, Grandpa Yuanjing." Lu Yin hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
What followed was a bunch of nonsense. Lu Yin was already used to beating around the bush with Nightking Yuanjing. In any case, he really did not want to go to Planet Pyrolyte, and Nightking Yuanjing was definitely more anxious than anyone else.
Sure enough, Nightking Yuanjing could not take it anymore. "Little Yin, do you know what happened on Planet Pyrolyte?"
Lu Yin nodded. "I heard."
"Do you want to go?
If you do, Grandpa will have the clan's spacecraft pick you up, "Nightking Yuanjing said.
Lu Yin shook his head and bitterly replied, "Little Yin appreciates Grandpa's good intentions, but Little Yin is tired of fighting and does not want to participate. Senior Sea King also wants Little Yin to not participate in these battles."
When the Sea King was mentioned, Nightking Yuanjing's expression turned serious. He suddenly remembered that the Sea King's Dome did not participate in the conflicts between the Innerverse and Outerverse powers. If Lu Yin was not allowed to participate, then did that mean that Lu Yin was getting closer to becoming the Sea King's son-in-law?
He did not know if this was a good or bad thing for the Daynight clan, but from now on, he would no longer be able to threaten this brat.
With the Sea King's interference, the speech that Nightking Yuanjing had prepared could not be used. From his perspective, Lu Yin would definitely not dare to disobey the Sea King's orders. Who did not want to become the Sea King's son-in-law?
This brat was no exception.
Helpless, Nightking Yuanjing casually chatted with Lu Yin for a while before hanging up.
The Great Yu Empire's capital, including Zenyu Star, could only keep Hai Qiqi interested for a few days. After a few days, she grew bored and began to frantically search for Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked at her helplessly. "Zenyu Star is so big. Have you played around already?"
Hai Qiqi rolled her eyes. "I've played around. I want to go out."
"Where are you going?"
"Planet Pyrolyte. I want to fight, I want to break through, I want to fight, and I want to make friends."
Lu Yin could understand the first three reasons, but he subconsciously looked at Hai Qiqi's mouth for the last one. Make friends?
Hehe, they're all enemies!
"Hey, Lu Yin, what do you mean?
That shameless old man has already left. Why aren't you going to Planet Pyrolyte? "Hai Qiqi grumbled unhappily.
"I've already told you many times how cruel the universe is. Even if the Sea King's Dome protects you, you might not be safe. Do you want me to gamble the lives of countless people in the Great Yu Empire on Planet Pyrolyte with you?" Lu Yin asked.
"Who says that my Sea King's Dome can't protect you? I'll contact my second brother right now and have him protect the Great Yu Empire in the name of the Sea King's Dome. No one would be willing to make things difficult for my Sea King's Dome over a small country at the edge of the Outerverse. Do you think I'm stupid?"
Lu Yin looked at Hai Qiqi seriously. She wasn't stupid. Indeed, no one would want to offend the Sea King's Dome for the sake of the Great Yu Empire. He just didn't want the Great Yu Empire to be branded as the Sea King's Dome, but he still had to follow through with the lie. "Qiqi, do you know who I'll offend if I go to Planet Pyrolyte?"
Hai Qiqi waved her hand. "It doesn't matter. My Sea King's Dome will take care of it."
Lu Yin was speechless. He felt that Hai Qiqi was shockingly similar to Lulu at this moment. Her confidence in a certain aspect had reached the limit, and she was the type that no one could match.
"I'm not going to Planet Pyrolyte, and you're not allowed to go either," Lu Yin said.
Hai Qiqi gritted her teeth. "I'm going to tell Father that you have a third, fourth, fifth, and sixth mistress."
"You're going to help me find them?" Lu Yin rolled his eyes.
Hai Qiqi was furious, and she panted heavily before suddenly sighing. "Sometimes, I really envy you."
Lu Yin was flabbergasted.
"You're like a corpse floating through space. You don't have any ambitions, and you're only satisfied with what you have. You'll lose even more if you do this." Hai Qiqi looked at Lu Yin. "My father doesn't like people who don't have ambition. You originally had a small chance of becoming his son-in-law, but the more you shrink back, the smaller that chance becomes."
Lu Yin shrugged. "Don't worry. I won't shrink back, but I won't participate in the contest for Planet Pyrolyte."
Hai Qiqi snorted and then turned to leave.
"Don't even think about leaving! I've sealed off the entire planet!" Lu Yin shouted.
Hai Qiqi was furious. "Go to hell!"
Lu Yin's face sank as he watched Hai Qiqi leave. Actually, he wanted to participate in the contest for Planet Pyrolyte more than anyone else, but what could he do?
If he went to Planet Pyrolyte, the Great Yu Empire would be branded as the Sea King's Dome, and the pyrolyte ore he obtained would be given to the Sea King's Dome as a betrothal gift. He would also offend a large group of people, and he himself would not be able to obtain anything. What was the point of going there?
If he wanted to become the Sea King's son-in-law, then he could go and use the pyrolyte ore to curry favor with the Sea King and Hai Dashao. This would make his name known throughout the universe once again and increase his chances of becoming the Sea King's son-in-law. However, he did not want to become the Sea King's son-in-law, so it did not matter. However, he could not afford to lose this important status.
If he did not become the Sea King's son-in-law, then he could not afford to offend the Daynight clan and other powerful organizations. Even if he went to Planet Pyrolyte, he might not be able to obtain much pyrolyte ore.
Lu Yin was stuck between a rock and a hard place, so he decided that he would not go to Planet Pyrolyte.
He looked up at the sky. There was a clear distinction between the powers in this universe. The strong were stronger, and the weak could only protect themselves. This kind of situation did not allow him to rise to prominence. If there came a day when the Innerverse's tentacles could no longer reach the Outerverse, then he would be able to do as he pleased. What a pity.
There was no sun above Planet Pyrolyte, and the entire planet's only source of light came from the dark red soil underground.
Zhuo Daynight did not know how long she had been unconscious, but before she had fainted, she had put on her ring armor to ensure that she would not be bitten by the planet's underground creatures.
To the Limiteers on Planet Pyrolyte, ring armor was useless. Its defense was practically non-existent against the geniuses of the same generation, so no one would wear it in battle. Not only did it have no defense, but it also hindered one's movements.
However, it was very useful to those who were heavily injured.
When Zhuo Daynight woke up, she saw pairs of green eyes glowing with savagery as they stared at her. Her face went pale, and she hurriedly got up. She was surrounded by a circle of strange underground creatures, and her ring armor was covered in bite marks. These creatures were actually able to damage the ring armor, and Zhuo Daynight did not dare to imagine what would have happened if she had not been wearing the ring armor.
She coughed and clutched her chest. Her injuries had healed slightly, and she hurriedly took out some star crystals from her cosmic ring to absorb them. Only by recovering her star energy would she be able to protect herself.
The surrounding creatures had scattered in all directions after Zhuo Daynight woke up, and most of them had dove underground.
Zhuo Daynight supported herself against the dull, dark red earth wall and walked out.
The ground shook from time to time, but she did not know whether it was due to a battle or an earthquake.
She walked out of the cave and looked up. Her surroundings were desolate, and there was not a single person in sight. Zhuo Daynight raised her hand and activated her gadget, but it was unfortunately damaged. Fortunately, she had the pyrolyte ore detector, so she could find nearby pyrolyte ore. If there was pyrolyte ore, then there would be people around.
However, now was not the time to search for pyrolyte ore. She needed to be able to protect herself first.
