Lu Yin looked inside Sapling’s park and saw the big tree pick itself back up while Sapling slipped back inside the big tree’s canopy, making Lu Yin feel relieved. “Although I can’t say a name, I can tell you that the person’s identity is incredibly sensitive, and regular people, or even Envoys, can’t offend them. She- this person, is able to prove that the research results are quite valid, so I truly do hope to cooperate with Shamrock Enterprise. As soon as we see any bit of success, the results will benefit both of us greatly, won’t they?”
Balsam turned her head to look at her shoulder where Lu Yin’s hand still lay. More importantly, Balsam was wearing an outfit that exposed her shoulders, which meant that Lu Yin’s hand was directly resting on her skin.
This was not a good way to start the conversation, and Lu Yin quickly lowered his hand while he burned with embarrassment. “I’m sorry, I forgot myself. Immortality is very important, and many people have failed in pursuing it. Although you may not particularly care, I do.”
Balsam’s expression quickly returned to normal, and she smiled once more as she replied, “I can see how deeply you feel about this, Alliance Leader Lu. Don’t worry, I will definitely persuade Leaf King to cooperate with you on this.”
Lu Yin smiled. “That’s wonderful. Legend has it that Shamrock Enterprise’s Leaf King represents creation and healing, and I’m certain that he has a unique understanding towards immortality.”
“It will be good if we can help you, Alliance Leader Lu. By the way, have you used your stellular energy pills?” Balsam asked. This was her entire purpose in visiting Lu Yin.
“Stellular energy pills?” Lu Yin was caught off guard, but then he remembered. “Right, the stellular energy pills, I forgot. Here, there’s this one.”
He stared at Balsam. “Since Shamrock Enterprise has even managed to make something like this pill, anything can be made, and more researchers are always helpful.”
Immortality, immortality, and again, immortality. From the moment that Balsam had met Lu Yin, he had mentioned eternal life far too many times, and she had grown tired of hearing about it. Seeing the fanatical light in Lu Yin’s eyes, she became a bit more convinced that he genuinely wanted to research eternal life and was willing to cooperate with anyone, as it seemed that pursuing immortality was more important than who he worked with.
This behavior caused Balsam to start to look down on Lu Yin.
Studying immortality was not as good as cultivating, but if Lu Yin actually abandoned his training because of this obsession with eternal life, it would be good news for many people.
“Alliance Leader Lu, you haven’t used the stellular energy pills, have you? Why don’t you give it a try? Don’t worry, I’ve brought two more with me on this trip. Even after Alliance Leader Lu tests one out, these two will replace that one,” Balsam said with a smile.
At this moment, Lu Yin’s gadget rang, and he glanced down before answering the call.
“Alliance Leader Lu, it’s time.”
The corners of Lu Yin’s mouth curled into a smile, and he turned to look at Balsam with eyes that were suddenly sharply focused. “Ms. Balsam, you’ve come a long way to see me, so how about you join me to see a great show?”
Balsam felt confused, as she did not understand what Lu Yin was talking about.
After Shui Chuanxiao had become the hidden commander of the alliance’s various armies, the Allied Forces had undergone tremendous changes. No matter if one looked at their equipment, combat knowledge, or interstellar routes, everything had greatly improved.
It was easy to see their improvement just by looking at the speed at which the Allied Forces assembled.
Balsam was surprised when she saw the battleships of the Allied Forces appear on a display that showed a starry sky. Who was about to fight? She first thought that Lu Yin was targeting the Sword Sect, as the current situation in the Innerverse was clear. The major powers were being led by the Sword Sect to oppose the Great Eastern Alliance, and they were trying to keep the alliance contained within Blazing Mist Flowzone.
If the Great Eastern Alliance intended to start a war, their first target would naturally be the Sword Sect.
However, when the Allied Forces started moving, Balsam realized that her assumptions were wrong. This was because the Allied Forces were traveling towards the west while the Sword Sect lay to the south.
Lu Yin stood inside the Allied Forces’ massive flagship with his hands clasped behind his back as he stared out at the passing universe. Liuying Zishan stood with him, as she had become the Allied Forces’ Commander in name, and Ian was also present.
“Will the addition of the equipment from the Ross Empire greatly improve the army’s combat strength?” Lu Yin asked.
Liuying Zishan respectfully answered, “Yes. All of the equipment is being upgraded, with an emphasis on the battleships. The vessels built by the Ross Empire greatly outperform those produced by our Great Eastern Alliance.”
“That’s only natural.” Lu Yin smiled.
The Great Eastern Alliance currently had four different armies, and even just the Allied Forces alone was powerful enough to launch a war on an entire flowzone. This was referring to the eight great flowzones, not the minor flowzones. Also, this was not considering a battle that included Enlighters, as even Liuying Zishan would struggle to survive against an Enlighter. However, if Enlighters were involved, then there was no need to send out the Allied Forces.
The destination of the Allied Forces was Giant Consortium’s territory, and they followed one of Giant Consortium’s interstellar routes.
When the people on the tributary Astral River Ark saw countless battleships appear, they became terrified and turned pale as they immediately sounded the war alarm.
At the moment, the tributary ark was not in Fennel Flowzone, but rather on the other side of the tributary Astral River in Northseal Flowzone.
Still, the people in Northseal Flowzone immediately started panicking. No one had expected the Great Eastern Alliance to suddenly start a war without any signs, and worst of all, it turned out that Northseal Flowzone was the alliance’s target.
“Don’t panic. The Great Eastern Alliance’s forces can’t easily cross the tributary Astral Rivers, so hurry up and dismantle the tributary arks!” An old man with fierce eyes shouted boldly. He was one of the commanders in charge of the blockade sealing Fennel Flowzone, and he was an elder from Northseal Flowzone’s Hall of Seals.
The Hall of Seals controlled Northseal Flowzone, and even though it was only a minor flowzone, the Hall of Seals was still an Innerverse power. Naturally, the Hall of Seals’ strength surpassed the Outerverse powers like the Vastdearth Sect, the Moke Sword Sect, and others, especially when it came to the power of their elders. The Hall of Seals had elders with power levels of 400,000, which was comparable to Northgate Taisui from Northline Flowzone.
Upon receiving the elder’s order, all of Northseal Flowzone’s cultivators started attacking the tributary ark. However, the next moment, they heard a roar from the void that was accompanied by violent tremors. The sound filled everyone’s ears, tearing countless people’s eardrums apart as people screamed in agony.
An energy visible blast to the naked eye passed through the Astral River tributary and struck the elder from the Hall of Seals.
Everyone from Northseal Flowzone who saw this was stunned, and they all stared blankly across the tributary river as the terrifying figure of a giant emerged. It was Chen Huang, the colossal giant who had become an Envoy. His punch was not only able to instantly destroy an Enlighter, but it was also able to eliminate the army that was blocking off access to Northseal Flowzone.
The gathered cultivators were not actually an army, but rather cultivators who had gathered after being summoned by the Hall of Seals. At this moment, Chen Huang’s punch had shattered their determination, and no one dared to move.

“Bring the tributary ark over!” the giant shouted fiercely.
Everyone in Northseal Flowzone at the border trembled. There were some who were unwilling to obey the giant, but most did not hesitate to take action. Even if they were separated by an Astral River tributary, one punch from that giant could kill all of them.
The fate of the elder from the Hall of Seals had been too tragic.
Lu Yin watched everything with a smile. “Those people have no faith. Have Chen Jian visit the Hall of Seals and destroy it as a warning.”
“Yes, Alliance Leader,” Ian acknowledged the order and turned to see it carried out.
Although the tributary Astral Rivers had locked the Great Eastern Alliance in, Lu Yin did not care. There was no one in the entire Innerverse who could stop him. The return of the second Nightking gave hope to the Sword Sect that someone was finally going to stop Lu Yin, but imagine their terror if they knew the Second Nightking had been made to act as Lu Yin’s bodyguard
However, Lu Yin did not want to take the hard path, as he would rather subdue the major forces of the universe than destroy them. He needed to make uniting the Innerverse an inevitability rather than a militaristic threat.
“Alliance Leader Lu, what is the purpose of this expedition?” Balsam approached and asked curiously.
Lu Yin turned to look at her. “Just watch. This will be a good show.”
Balsam nodded and asked no further questions.
News that the Great Eastern Alliance’s Allied Forces had succeeded in crossing from Fennel Flowzone into Northseal Flowzone, and then further on into Venom Flowzone instantly spread throughout the entire Innerverse. The Sword Sect and the other major powers were stunned, as none of them could understand just who Lu Yin was going after.
Erudite Flowzone, First Flowzone, Soulseal Flowzone, and Beast Tamers Flowzone were all to the south of Blazing Mist Flowzone, and only Chaos Flowzone was to the west, aside from some other various, small flowzones. Could Lu Yin be targeting Chaos Flowzone?
***
Liu Qianjue stared at a star chart, lost in his confusion.
Even if the Great Eastern Alliance conquered Chaos Flowzone, what was the point? It was too far away from their other holdings, and even if the Great Eastern Alliance was supported by the entire Outerverse, it would be impossible to defend such a large border. Could the Allied Forces divide themselves in order to occupy Chaos Flowzone?
Lu Yin’s move confused almost everyone.
Liu Qianjue suddenly thought of something, and he immediately contacted Mountain God and the others to have them all raise their guards. Lu Yin was exceptionally skilled at deception and misleading people while muddying the waters. In the past, he had acted as though he was targeting the Sword Sect while actually planning an attack on the Daynight clan. It was possible that the Great Eastern Alliance’s other armies had moved elsewhere.
Liu Qianjue’s warning instantly made Mountain God and the others nervous. After a few quick discussions, they quickly destroyed the tributary arks that connected Blazing Mist Flowzone to the other major flowzones, making it impossible for the Great Eastern Alliance’s forces to easily travel to them. While this could not stop powerhouses from traveling through the Innerverse, it could certainly stop an army from doing so.
***
Basong Flowzone lay to the west of the Innerverse, and the Allied Forces needed at least half a month to make the journey. This was because the Ross Empire’s technology had greatly improved the army’s battleships, lowering the previous prediction of a month.
Shui Chuanxiao had needed a month to infiltrate Basong Flowzone with the Lu Elite Troops, and the Allied Forces needed half a month to travel to Basong Flowzone, which added up to the originally requested month and a half to start the assault on Basong Flowzone.
Before the Allied Forces arrived, Lu Yin left them and made his way east.
The Second Nightking led the way, and Lu Yin spent a few days outside the Lost Radiance Academy in Erudite Flowzone. There, he found the corpse king that was constantly monitoring the academy.
The corpse king had not expected Lu Yin and the Second Nightking to suddenly appear, and although the creature instantly attacked, it was completely unable to resist the Second Nightking and was thus instantly captured.
The Second Nightking gave Lu Yin a very odd look. “How did you know that there would be a corpse king hiding here?”
“That has nothing to do with you,” Lu Yin casually replied.
The Second Nightking’s eye twitched; this youth actually only became more of an enigma as time passed. Since Lu Yin had clearly known about the corpse king in this place, why had he not warned the Lost Radiance Academy or the Wen family and let them destroy the creature? Why had Lu Yin instead insisted on capturing a corpse king? Could Lu Yin be colluding with the Neohuman Alliance?
The Second Nightking suddenly remembered that Mr. Feng had protected Lu Yin twice outside of the Celestial Frost Sect’s ruins. The Second Nightking felt that he was onto something.
After grabbing the corpse king, the two left and made their way towards Basong Flowzone.
Lu Yin was happy that he had not killed the corpse king; if he had, his current plan would have been impossible.
…
Lava flowed across the broken landscape of a planet that was illuminated by a strange red moon. The sky was dark, and when the red moon lit the ground, it created a dark, cold, red sky that enveloped the planet like a veil.
Rivers of blood flowed across the ground, their red glow mirroring the red moon above. The dead shambled all across the planet.
