Lu Yin smiled at Hai Qiqi's words. "Don't worry, the video of the battle at the Sea King's Dome will be leaked sooner or later. At that time, they'll have to believe it even if they don't believe me. It's pointless for me to argue with them, as one person's strength is limited."
Hai Qiqi grew anxious. "That's not what I meant. Don't you plan on going to Planet Pyrolyte to prove yourself?
If someone recorded it and posted it online, think about it. Countless people in the universe will worship and respect you, and countless beautiful girls will want to throw themselves into your arms. All you have to do is go to Planet Pyrolyte. It's easy for you, isn't it? "
Lu Yin smiled. "No wonder you were in such a hurry to show me these videos."
Hai Qiqi looked at Lu Yin. "So?
Are you tempted?
No one there is a match for you. "
Lu Yin sighed and looked at Hai Qiqi seriously. "I've told you many times that I can't gamble the Great Yu Empire on a meaningless battle. I don't blame you for not understanding, but I can guarantee that I won't go to Planet Pyrolyte."
Hai Qiqi gritted her teeth and snorted before turning to leave.
Lu Yin's eyes focused on the video once more. Was she really not planning on going?
Zhanlong Daynight was on Planet Pyrolyte, and he really wanted to ask her about it. Suddenly, a video caught his attention. The title of the video was "Ants Caught in the Cracks."
Among the many popular videos of battles between Astral Reaching Realm cultivators, this particular video had appeared. Lu Yin couldn't resist and clicked on it. The first thing he saw was Xi Yue, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. In the video, she had been injured by Jared and was forced to flee. The video wasn't coherent, and there were many clips that had been edited together. The next thing he saw was Northgate Gang, Ah Fan, and the others vomiting blood as they were swept away by the shockwaves of the battle.
After that, more and more people appeared in the video. They were all people who had been injured or even killed. There were disciples from small flowzones, disciples from the Second Grade Hall, and even disciples from the Sword Sect and Daynight clan. This was a video that reflected the intensity of the battle on Planet Pyrolyte.
Lu Yin sighed. This was reality. Many people had seen the glory of Mu Rong and the others in battle, and they had attracted the admiration and cheers of countless people. However, even more people had fallen at their feet... Many people hadn't even died in direct combat, but had merely been swept away by the shockwaves. They were indeed ants caught in the cracks.
This was only a battle on Planet Pyrolyte, and the various great powers of the universe were all fighting. Shenwu Continent and the Great Yu Empire were also ants caught between the cracks.
Just as Lu Yin was about to close the video and clear his thoughts, a familiar figure appeared on the screen. It was Liu Xiaoyun, who had been heavily injured by Nightqueen Yanqing. Lu Yin narrowed his eyes as he saw Zhuo Daynight's figure behind her. Her pale face was accompanied by scarlet blood, and Lu Yin's expression changed. Zhuo Daynight was there as well?
Yan Hua, Hui Chuan, and the others all fell to the ground, and it was unknown if they were still alive. When Lu Yin saw Kuang Wang slashed to the ground, he subconsciously clenched his fists. Although he was not friends with Kuang Wang and might even be enemies in the future, Kuang Wang was still a fellow student of the Astral Combat Academy and a Realm Master. If he had been recorded in this video, then Kuang Wang was just an ant.
At the end of the video, the shockwaves from Mu Rong's one-versus-two battle had started, and a crack in the ground had swallowed up dozens of people. Lu Yin's pupils shrank when he saw the final scene, where Zhuo Daynight had been heavily injured once again. It was unknown whether she was still alive or not.
The video ended, and Lu Yin fell silent. His mind was filled with the scene of Zhuo Daynight helplessly falling to the ground. Had she died?
Or had she been heavily injured?
Lu Yin could not help but care about this. He treated Zhuo Daynight as a friend, and from the moment that she had testified for him to the moment that she had been imprisoned in the Daynight clan's prison, there was no way that he could separate himself from this woman.
This feeling was very strange. Was she a friend?
He did not know if Zhuo Daynight saw him in this way, but there was one thing that he could not deny: Zhuo Daynight was his creditor, and he still owed her a promise to Lockbreaking.
Planet Pyrolyte had nothing to do with him, so he would not go. Lu Yin kept repeating this sentence, but the scenes of Zhuo Daynight, Kuang Wang, Liu Xiaoyun, and Xi Yue kept replaying in his mind. Zhuo Daynight was especially unforgettable. He did not know why, but it was just like when he had injured her on the pirate spacecraft, and he could not abandon her. Her sorrowful eyes kept replaying in his mind.
Lu Yin did not know what was wrong with him, but he could not forget the scene of Zhuo Daynight being heavily injured and the words she had unconsciously muttered. He walked out of King Zishan's palace in frustration and looked up at the sky.
He had to find Zhanlong Daynight and ask him about Zhuo Daynight's fate.
He could not maintain his calm. Should he go to Planet Pyrolyte or not?
Should he go or not?
He unconsciously activated his gadget and watched the video again. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes before suddenly opening them again. The battle on Planet Pyrolyte was far from over. He was not going to fight for anything, but rather to save his friends. It had nothing to do with the pyrolyte mine. As long as he did not participate in the battle for pyrolyte, he would not interfere with the core interests of the various great powers. In addition, he had Hai Qiqi ask Hai Dashao to promise to protect the Great Yu Empire, so there should be no problems.
More importantly, he had to get Hai Qiqi to ask Hai Dashao to promise to protect the Great Yu Empire, not the Sea King.
Lu Yin thought about it for a while before contacting Hai Qiqi.
Hai Qiqi was shopping when she saw that Lu Yin had contacted her, but she did not pick up. What an annoying person.
"Seventh Bro, have you decided to go to Planet Pyrolyte?" the monkey asked.
"How do you know?" Lu Yin was puzzled, but he did not say anything.
The monkey replied, "I've been with you for so long, so how could I not understand you? You can't let go of Zhuo Daynight, and you're the type of person who would definitely help a friend when they're in trouble. Zhuo Daynight almost betrayed the Daynight clan for you and almost died. This favor is not that easy to repay. You saved her and hurt her, and the two of you are too deeply involved. You can't avoid it."
Lu Yin sighed. Yes, the two of them were too deeply involved. He had hurt her and saved her, and she had also helped him. She was also his creditor, and he also had indescribable feelings for her. Did he pity her?
He did not know.
Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. Since I've decided to go to Planet Pyrolyte, I won't think too much about it. He contacted Hai Qiqi again, but she still did not pick up. She was still angry.
Lu Yin sent her a message. "Go to Planet Pyrolyte."
These three words represented a huge amount of power. Hai Qiqi quickly returned to King Zishan's palace and looked at Lu Yin excitedly. "Are we going to Planet Pyrolyte?"
Lu Yin looked at her seriously. "Sure, but you have to promise me two things."
"What's the trouble?" Hai Qiqi asked.
"First, I need Hai Dashao to promise to protect the Great Yu Empire. I'm talking about publicly supporting the Great Yu Empire's unification of Frostwave Weave."
Hai Qiqi was puzzled. "My second brother?
There's no need for that. I can ask Father to step in. "
Lu Yin shook his head. "It can't be the Sea King. It has to be Hai Dashao."
"Hey, are you stupid? My second brother might be seventh on the Top 100 Rankings, but he can't represent the Sea King's Dome. Even if he promises to support the Great Yu Empire, it won't be much of a deterrent to the Daynight clan. At most, it will make them fear us to an acceptable extent, but it won't restrict them."
"That's enough." Lu Yin was certain.
Hai Qiqi thought about it. "Alright. I'll have my second brother publicly support the Great Yu Empire's unification of Frostwave Weave, but only in his own name. It won't involve the Sea King's Dome. Father won't allow us to interfere in the conflicts between the Innerverse and Outerverse powers."
Lu Yin nodded. He wanted the various powers to have some misgivings about the Sea King's Dome when dealing with him. Even if Hai Dashao couldn't represent the Sea King's Dome, he was still the Sea King's son, and no one could ignore him. As long as Lu Yin didn't interfere with the various powers' core interests, Hai Dashao's presence would be enough to protect the Great Yu Empire.
Lu Yin was only there to save someone, not steal the ore.
"Alright. The second thing is that you have to follow me. You can't leave me," Lu Yin said seriously.
Hai Qiqi frowned. She was very reluctant, but she still agreed. She glared at Lu Yin. "Is there anything else? If there's nothing else, I'll contact my second brother."
Lu Yin nodded.
Not long after, Hai Qiqi put down her gadget and made a "Success" gesture.
Lu Yin relaxed, as he had been afraid that the Sea King wouldn't agree. Hai Dashao had specifically mentioned the pyrolyte ore as a betrothal gift, which proved that the Sea King's Dome needed pyrolyte ore. Now, it seemed that the Sea King's Dome wasn't determined to obtain the pyrolyte ore. That was good, as at least no one was forcing Lu Yin to fight for it.
Now, all he had to do was wait for Hai Dashao to publicly announce that he was personally supporting the Great Yu Empire. Right now, he needed to borrow another power to enter Planet Pyrolyte without attracting the attention of the Daynight clan or the Sword Sect. This power could only come from Northline Flowzone.
Many people from Northline Flowzone were in the Astral Wilderness. Lu Yin tried to contact Lily Anne, but he was unable to do so. However, he could use the Ten Arbiters Council's interface to contact the person in charge of Northline Flowzone's Shangwu Academy and ask him to contact the Lily family.
This process would take some time, but Lu Yin believed that as long as the Lily family knew that he was going to Planet Pyrolyte and that he was borrowing their identity, they would be more than happy to oblige.
There was no need to wait on Zenyu Star, so Lu Yin gave Huo Qingshan a few instructions. He then took Hai Qiqi into a collapsible spacecraft and headed towards Northcastle Weave.
Hai Dashao moved quickly, and in less than an hour, his promise had attracted the attention of countless people. These people would spread the news to the various great powers in the shortest amount of time possible.
When the various great powers saw Hai Dashao's promise, they might be able to guess that Lu Yin was going to Planet Pyrolyte. Of course, there was also a chance that they wouldn't be able to guess. However, if it was the Sea King's promise, then the various great powers would definitely know that Lu Yin was going to Planet Pyrolyte.
Hai Dashao alone wasn't enough to bear the wrath of the various great powers whose interests had been violated. The various great powers were apprehensive of the Sea King, but they weren't afraid of him. Hai Dashao was just the Sea King's son, which wasn't enough to make them feel apprehensive.
Lu Yin could only express the Sea King's Dome's attitude and do his best to protect the Great Yu Empire as long as he didn't go overboard.
With the speed of a radiant-grade collapsible spacecraft, it only took a few hours for Lu Yin to reach the border between Frostwave Weave and Northcastle Weave. Just as Lu Yin arrived at the border of Frostwave Weave, Lily Anne contacted him.
"Brother Lu, I heard that you were looking for me." Lily Anne looked at Lu Yin through the screen with a trace of excitement in her eyes. He had no choice, as Northline Flowzone had been severely suppressed during this period of time. Much of their pyrolyte ore had been snatched away, and there had been many conflicts with the various powers from the smaller flowzones. It was simply too difficult. If Lu Yin could join them, then he would be able to reach the heavens in a single bound.
