Lu Yin was not trying to scare him. Even though he did not know the exact situation in the Innerverse, this was what he thought. It was already embarrassing enough for a Progenitor to return in defeat, but the Innerverse, Cosmic Sea, and Neoverse had experts with power levels below 200,000 that were not weak. It would not be easy to break through the Innerverse, Cosmic Sea, and Neoverse. Those big shots were using deceptive methods to get experts with power levels below 200,000 to enter the battlefield, which showed how urgent this war was.
If their attack was not successful, there was a 90% chance that they would change the battlefield.
This was obvious. Lu Yin was not a military expert, and he was not a strategist, but it was not difficult for him to see this.
Elder Lohar had not seen through this because he had just received this information, and he did not trust Lu Yin too much.
Lu Yin could only try his best to persuade Elder Lohar to prepare. The Outerverse was not the same as the Innerverse, and they did not have the remnant spiritual force of a Progenitor. Even if the situation was similar to the Innerverse, there were not many in the entire Outerverse who could fight against the Sixth Mainland's elites. Lu Yin did not want to die.
"According to the information you received, which region will attack the Outerverse?" Elder Lohar asked solemnly.
Lu Yin thought about it. "The Bloodburn Realm."
Elder Lohar nodded. "I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Alliance Master Lu. Regardless of whether or not the Sixth Mainland attacks the Outerverse, your contributions to the Fifth Mainland will not be small." He then exchanged a few more pleasantries before ending the call.
Lu Yin put down his gadget. He wanted to know whether or not the Sixth Mainland would attack the Outerverse, but waiting was pointless. Furthermore, with the Hall of Honor's current prestige, it was not realistic for them to unite all the Outerverse's forces to resist the Technocracy. Only a truly peerless powerhouse with the power to instantly wipe out everything would be able to unite the entire Outerverse.
Only such a powerhouse would be able to infiltrate the Technocracy to investigate.
Lu Yin was looking forward to it. The Hall of Honor's true foundation in the Outerverse was about to be revealed.
Guesses were just guesses, and Lu Yin had actually exaggerated a little. He just wanted to see what kind of power the Hall of Honor was hiding in the Outerverse.
The next day, countless people gathered outside of the auction house. There were media, spies from various powers, and information dealers. Today was the day of the auction house's Premium Auction, and the auction house had announced it a month ago, which had caused a huge commotion in the Outerverse.
The main reason was that the items being auctioned were too outrageous. There were guns and arrows that could threaten Enlighters, but that could be ignored. No one would buy them, and the auction house would be the one to lose face if the items were not sold. However, there was actually a fifth-stage formcast model, which was a completely different story.
A quintuple formcast model was extremely rare, but it was something that everyone wanted to get their hands on. As for the price, no one could be sure. If one already had a quintuple formcast model, it would not be worth much, but if one did not, it would be an astronomical price.
Given the current state of the universe, no one would be willing to sell a fifth-stage formcast model, yet the auction house had actually brought out three fifth-stage formcast models for sale. Were they crazy?!
Ever since news of the fifth-stage formcast models had spread, everyone thought that the auction house had gone mad. No, Lu Yin had gone mad.
He had so many experts under his command, and there were also quite a few geniuses among the younger generation. Rather than putting them up for sale, it would be better for him to use them internally. Although he might not be able to sell them for a high price, they would be used by his own people, so he would still make a profit no matter how much he sold them.
The various great powers of the Great Eastern Alliance had been trying to contact Lu Yin to purchase them internally, but he was in seclusion, and they could not reach him.
Many weaves' powers from the outside world ridiculed him, saying that the Great Eastern Alliance was not united at all and that they could not even protect their own interests. They also said that Lu Yin was a money-grubber, and so on. In short, there were all sorts of things being said, which made the various powers of the Great Eastern Alliance very uncomfortable.
Lu Yin had heard about all of this after coming out of seclusion, but he had not thought things through.
When Hill Auna found out that Lu Yin had come out of seclusion, he immediately sought an audience with him. Lu Yin had Hill Auna contact the leaders of the various great powers of the Great Eastern Alliance and tell them that he would sell them a quintuple formcast model. Only then did the commotion from the various great powers calm down.
If he had not done so, then these people would not have been the only ones gathered outside the mainland's auction house today. There would have been people from the various great powers of the Great Eastern Alliance present as well, and a small auction house would not have been able to accommodate so many people.
Lu Yin changed his appearance and retracted his aura, walking down the most bustling street of the Great Eastern Alliance like an ordinary person.
Everyone who appeared here was either wealthy or respectable. The Mavis Bank was on his left, and cosmic dollars would occasionally fall from the sky, but nobody picked them up on this street. In the distance, the Aurora Corporation stood tall, as well as Shamrock Enterprises, Amethyst Trading Company, Endless Borders, and so on. These were all giants that everyone knew about, and there were also many large financial groups that might have rented many planets in the outside world. However, on this street, they could only rent one office, which was already quite impressive.
At that moment, Lu Yin saw a familiar name appear in the building where Endless Borders' offices were located: the Daystar Shipping Company.
Lu Yin was not unfamiliar with this company. Back when the Savage Ape Planet had undergone great changes, he had saved a woman who had been the manager of the Daystar Shipping Company. The first time he had heard of this name was when Yue Xianzi had told him about it. The Daystar Shipping Company was one of the Innerverse's financial groups, and they were very rich.
Since they could survive in the Innerverse and even expand their business to the Outerverse, this financial group could be considered a colossus. However, there had never been any traces of their activities. They were very low-key, to the point that it was a little strange.
Lu Yin was well aware of how complicated the situation in the Innerverse was. It could be said that the entire Innerverse was divided between the eight great flowzones, and anyone who wanted to stand out would die. A financial group that could survive in the complicated environment of the Innerverse was definitely not simple, and it would be strange if they were too low-key.
As he thought about this, Lu Yin stepped into the building.
There was still some time before the auction would begin.
Endless Borders occupied a third of the building, which fully displayed the extravagance of a financial group.
Lu Yin passed by the Endless Borders office and arrived at the Daystar Shipping Company's office.
This place was much more low-key than Endless Borders, and there were only three offices. Compared to most businesses in the Outerverse, being able to rent even one office was enough to be proud of. However, for a financial group that spanned across the Innerverse and Outerverse, three offices were too stingy.
Just as Lu Yin was about to enter, someone walked out and glanced at Lu Yin before leaving. This person was the manager of Endless Borders, Dino.
Lu Yin had changed his appearance, so Dino did not recognize him.
As he continued walking, he saw that the three offices were not large and could be seen at a glance. There were only seven or eight people inside, and it was very bleak.
"Sir, how may I help you?" The beautiful receptionist approached Lu Yin and smiled. Her attitude was very gentle as she bowed slightly.
Lu Yin casually replied, "I'd like to see your manager."
The receptionist asked, "Do you have an appointment?"
Lu Yin shook his head. "Is your manager called?"
He thought for a moment. "Leng Yan?"
The receptionist was shocked. "So you know our manager. Please wait a moment while I report this."
Lu Yin nodded and sat down. Someone immediately brought him a drink.
Lu Yin took a sip and looked at the drink seriously. This drink was the same as the one he had at the Amethyst Trading Company. If he was right, this drink was not available on the market. It was specially supplied and only a small number of people could purchase it.
Looking around, although the number of people was small, all of them were cultivators. They were still very young and full of vigor.
Occasionally, someone would speak, but their tone was calm and steady.
Although Daystar Shipping was low-key, Lu Yin could tell from the details that this place had some sort of business background and limitless potential.
Footsteps sounded out, and Lu Yin turned around to see the receptionist walking over. Behind her was Leng Yan.
Lu Yin was astonished. What a coincidence! If he remembered correctly, Leng Yan was the manager of Daystar Shipping's Outerverse. Although her position could not compare to a weave's chairman like Shamrock Enterprises' Alfman, it should be higher than a weave's manager like Dino. He had not expected her to be on Zenyu Star.
The receptionist bowed to Lu Yin and stepped aside.
Leng Yan walked over and sized Lu Yin up with a smile. "Sir, do we know each other?"
Lu Yin stood up. "An old friend."
Leng Yan's eyes flashed, and she gestured for Lu Yin to enter. "Let's talk inside."
Lu Yin nodded. "The drink is good." He did not stand on ceremony and followed her into her office.
The two sat down, and Leng Yan smiled at Lu Yin. "Sir, you say that we're old friends, but we're strangers. I have a good memory, so did you change your appearance?"
Lu Yin nodded and changed his appearance back to his original one.
Leng Yan was shocked and hurriedly stood up to bow. "So it's Alliance Master Lu. Please forgive my rudeness."
Lu Yin gestured for her to sit and smiled. "Long time no see, Supervisor Leng."
Leng Yan gently sat down and straightened her skirt. "Yes, it's been a few years since we last met on the Savage Ape Planet. Alliance Master Lu's elegance is even greater than before, and your name has spread throughout the universe. Congratulations."
Lu Yin looked at her. "Supervisor Leng, why didn't you visit King Zishan's palace since you came to Zenyu Star?
We can be considered old friends. "
Leng Yan was helpless. "There were too many things to do, and I didn't have the time. When I did, Alliance Master Lu wasn't around, so I missed it."
Lu Yin nodded and looked out the window.
"Speaking of which, Alliance Master Lu is my savior. I'm ashamed that I didn't have the chance to thank you."
Lu Yin waved a hand. "I just did it in passing, so there's no need to take it to heart. However, I'm curious as to why Daystar Shipping is a corporation that dominates the Innerverse and Outerverse."
Leng Yan sighed. "The Innerverse and Outerverse were cut off too suddenly, and we weren't prepared for it. There was a gap in our funds, and our business was taken over by Endless Borders. There was no other way, and it's already pretty good that we managed to hold on."
Lu Yin did not understand. "Endless Borders has the right to dominate the Innerverse and Outerverse, so shouldn't they give us some face? I even saw Dino earlier."
Leng Yan looked at Lu Yin and smiled bitterly. "It seems that Alliance Master Lu misunderstands the Innerverse's corporations."
"I'm all ears."
Leng Yan continued, "Alliance Master Lu should be very clear about the situation in the Innerverse. There are eight great flowzones, and the various powers are like the sky, oppressing everyone else. No matter who it is, as long as they want to stand out, they'll be suppressed. It's the same for corporations. They can earn money and enjoy themselves, but they can't stand out.
