Star Odyssey Chapter 2036

Chapter 2036

Lu Yin had just received a message from Hen Xin that mentioned the man was with another master of one of the Twelve Heavenly Gates. That second gatemaster was known as Lu Buzheng, and with his surname being Lu, Lu Yin immediately considered the idea that this person might be from the Lu family as well. Who else could have the Lu surname aside from a member of Lu Yin’s family? On top of that, this man had been strong enough to become a top powerhouse within the Heavens Sect.

Within the Innerverse, at the edge of Venom Flowzone, Hen Xin was taken aback. “His surname is also Lu?”

Lu Buzheng looked up. “Whose surname is Lu?”

Hen Xin replied, “The young man I am communicating with also has the Lu surname. He’s named Lu Yin.”

Lu Buzheng was pleasantly surprised by this. “Lu Yin? Come, let me speak with him! He should be a part of my Lu family.”

Nearby, the young man in the gold-trimmed white robe looked over at the wireless jincan. Lu Yin? The young man also knew this name. How could he not? It seemed that this Lu Yin was the most famous person in the entire universe in the current era, and he was recognized as being peerless within his generation. He had conquered almost half of the Fifth Mainland, and of particular note was the fact that he had just recently become an Envoy.

Whenever Lu Yin was mentioned, it seemed impossible for people to avoid mentioning that Lu Yin was invincible within his realm, or that he wielded extreme political power.

While it was possible that Lu Yin was not personally weak, he was someone in a position of power, and that always introduced flaws into a person’s heart. It was impossible for such a person to reach the pinnacle of strength. It seemed that Lu Yin held a status that was similar to the Dao Chosen from the era of Heavens Sect, but this thought made the young man shake his head. There was no way that Lu Yin could compare to a Dao Chosen. Such youths were the pinnacle of talent even during the era of the Heavens Sect, and the cultivators of the current era were greatly inferior to those of the past. Being a member of the Lu family was not enough to change that.

Comparing Lu Yin to a Dao Chosen was vastly overestimating him. Given the strength of the current era’s cultivators, as well as the fact that the true universe’s stellular energy was being quickly devoured, it was impossible for Lu Yin to be on the same level as a Dao Chosen. Only other Dao Chosen could compare the white-robed young man.

“What? This thing has 3,279 possible connections that can be used? So many?” Lu Buzheng exclaimed.

Hen Xin answered as indifferently as ever, “It’s simple.”

Lu Buzheng rolled his eyes. “Then hurry up and show me.”

Far away, Lu Yin was feeling exceptionally nervous. Anyone from the Lu family was part of the family. For as long as Lu Yin could remember, he had been alone and without any relatives. Although Big Sis and the others from her band of mercenaries were closer to him than relatives, they were not actually related by blood. Lu Yin lacked any real blood relatives.

At this moment, he was finally able to meet one. Although their eras were beyond distant from each other, the same blood flowed in both of their veins.

After waiting for a while, the wireless jincan delivered a message. The first words that were transmitted from Lu Buzheng to Lu Yin initiated a conversation between two members of the Lu family across endless years. “My name is Lu Buzheng.”

Lu Yin became excited, and he quickly replied, “My name is Lu Yin.”

“Haha, are you a direct or branch member of the Lu family?” Lu Buzheng asked through the wireless jincan.

Lu Yin let out a long breath. This question meant that Lu Buzheng was absolutely a member of the same Lu family. “Direct descendant.”

“Champions’ Stage?”

“Yes.”

“No matter how many years might have passed, my Lu family will never fail to raise geniuses. I’ve heard of you, Lu Yin. After I entered this era, I heard of you from the very first person I questioned. I’m from a branch family, and while I don’t have a Champions’ Stage or the main family’s visualization technique, I’m not too bad myself, and I was able to become a gatemaster in the Heavens Sect, haha!”

It seemed quite clear that Lu Buzheng was a cheerful person, which was completely different from Hen Xin.

Lu Yin quickly replied, “I’m in the Outerverse. Come meet me.”

“Of course, but not right now. Let’s deal with this Aeternal trash first. Hen Xin and I will move out together. I heard you also have several Semi-Progenitors with you, so let’s all work together,” Lu Buzheng sent.

Lu Yin was startled, and he hastened to answer, “Don’t be in a rush. I’ve already contacted other Semi-Progenitors, and they’re planning to move together, but Aeternus is not an easy opponent, especially the Seven Skygods.”

“What are the Seven Skygods? There was no such title during our era. But it doesn’t matter. Don’t you need more people since you already have a few Semi-Progenitors with you? Just come over here with them. We’ll show the people of this era the power of the Heavens Sect era and the true strength of the Twelve Heavenly Gatemasters.”

Lu Yin frowned. “You really shouldn’t underestimate the Aeternals. Let’s talk about things after we join up.”

“I, Lu Buzheng, have never enjoyed fighting for material gains, and I am also a member of the Lu family. Our Lu family has always stood on the front lines. We will head out first, so just follow us. Don’t worry, even if I am up against five or six other Semi-Progenitors, I am confident in being able to fight them and win.”

Lu Yin frowned when the wireless jincan went silent. While they were both part of the Lu family, Lu Buzheng seemed to be a very energetic person, though it was also easy to see his arrogance. This was exactly the same as Hen Xin, who had insisted on moving on his own to investigate the current situation. Both of them looked down upon the strength of the current era.

Still, none of that mattered. Since they were making a move, then the powerhouses with Lu Yin would need to keep up and offer their support.

Both Kui Luo and the Highsage Grandmaster had seen and understood the messages coming through the wireless jincan.

“People from that era are too arrogant, and they are completely underestimating the Aeternals,” Highsage Grandmaster lamented.

Lu Yin said, “Let’s go. We can’t let those two try to deal with Ancient God on their own.”

He clearly remembered what he had seen in the Neoverse with Undying God and when Mister Mu had revealed the Skygod’s backstory. Undying God was actually Wu Tian’s adopted child, and his name was Wu Xing. Undying God was another figure from that legendary era, which was the Heavens Sect’s era, so what about Ancient God? The Seven Skygods should all be at about the same level.

Even though Lu Buzheng and the others who had been released from the sourcebox were from the Heavens Sect era as well, they had only been masters of the Twelve Heavenly Gates while Wu Tian had been a legendary Ancient Progenitor. His adopted child would definitely be an elite powerhouse from even that era.

The figures leading the Aeternals were not from the current era, but were rather powerhouses from the same era as those who had been released from the sourcebox.

While thinking about these things, Lu Yin, Kui Luo, and Highsage Grandmaster returned to Ancestor Tortoise. They instructed the Mavis family to direct the massive creature to go back to the Innerverse. While all this happened, Ni Huang and the other Perennial World Semi-Progenitors were informed of the recent developments, in hopes that the four experts would also make their way to the Innerverse and participate in the fight there.

Ni Huang and the other Semi-Progenitors moved to block Ancestor Tortoise’s path. “Just two Semi-Progenitors from ancient times are not enough to defeat Aeternus. You have already seen the power of Aeternus’s Seven Skygods.”

“Arch-Elder Zen and our other Semi-Progenitors have already moved out,” Lu Yin answered bluntly.

Ni Huang was stunned. “They’ve already moved out? So quickly?”

Highsage Grandmaster glanced over at Lu Yin. This kid could lie without batting an eye. How could the Fifth Mainland’s forces in the Neoverse move so quickly? Highsage Grandmaster’s sourcebox array was not accurate enough to directly teleport the Second Nightking straight to Arch-Elder Zen. While it was possible for the Second Nightking to have already met with Arch-Elder Zen, no message had been sent to the forces in the Outerverse.

Lu Yin took out his own wireless jincan. “I just spoke with Arch-Elder Zen and Elder Gong. They’ve already set out, and we’re also going to team up with Hen Xin and the other ancient powerhouse. I’ve also gotten in touch with the Sixth Mainland.”

“How did you speak with the Sixth Mainland? We’ve been watching you, and no one has left this solar system,” Wang Si demanded.

Lu Yin explained, “I formed an alliance with First Edition City, and they have a wireless jincan, as well as a line of communication with Sky Creation Academy and the Sixth Mainland. I asked them to pass a message onto the Sixth Mainland. The Sixth Mainland should also be moving soon, so let’s go. If we don’t move, we’ll just be crushed by Aeternus.”

Ni Huang and the others glanced at each other. They had no idea how much of Lu Yin’s explanation was true.

“Go!” Lu Yin yelled, and in front of him, Yunying Mavis herself used a glowing fruit from the divine tree to lead Ancestor Tortoise towards the Innerverse.

Ni Huang and the others had no choice but to follow along. They also wished to see Aeternus destroyed. While they were completely unconcerned with the destruction and death of the Forsaken Land, Lu Yin could not die yet, as they needed him to show them the way back to the Perennial World.

Ancestor Tortoise moved towards the Innerverse, and at the same time, a man arrived at the edge of Earth’s solar system. This was the man who had visited the Cloud Valley’s spacecraft.

The man saw the back of the tortoise that was leaving. His eyes flashed, and he took off again.

Ancestor Tortoise was incredibly fast, and it arrived at the edge of the Astral River in a blink of an eye. There was no pause as the massive creature passed through the Astral River and continued on towards Chaos Flowzone.

At this time, the wireless jincan received a message, and Lu Yin was pleasantly surprised to see it came from the wireless jincan that the Second Nightking had taken.

“This is Arch-Elder Zen.”

Lu Yin immediately answered by using the proper sequence. “Senior, two gatemasters of the ancient Twelve Heavenly Gates are headed to the Starfall Sea to attack Aeternus. We’re also headed that way.”

“Stop now! Don’t go!” Arch-Elder Zen was startled and instantly told Lu Yin to stop.

Lu Yin felt puzzled. “Why?”

“Ancient God’s true identity is the Heavens Sect’s Dao Monarch of the Third Mainland! He was the master of one of the Three Realms Six Dao. His true name is Gu Yizhi, and he is an absolutely legendary powerhouse. Anyone who goes will die,” Arch-Elder Zen replied.

Lu Yin’s expression changed completely, and Kui Luo and Highsage Grandmaster had similar reactions as they saw the message. “Dao Monarch?”

While this term might not have meant anything to them before, they had since learned of its significance after meeting with Hen Xin. They had learned many details regarding the Heavens Sect’s era, and they had also come to understand that the Dao Monarchs were most likely the same as the sect masters of the six branches of the Daosource Sect.

There had been six sect masters for the Six Mainlands, and they had been the Dao Monarchs of the Three Realms Six Dao.

Lu Yin’s heart sank. What sort of figure was a Dao Monarch? He was not completely sure, but he did know that regardless of how far their cultivation was suppressed, a Dao Monarch would be peerless. The only people who could rival a Dao Monarch was another Dao Monarch.

In the past, Lu Yin had naively believed that once he became a Semi-Progenitor, he would be able to rival the Seven Skygods. Back then, the Seven Skygods had been suppressed by the Fifth Mainland’s Semi-Progenitors and kept their true power hidden. However, after seeing Undying God fight, Lu Yin understood that the Seven Skygods were truly powerful. What they had revealed to humanity was nothing more than the tip of the iceberg.

Undying God’s true name was Wu Xing, but even he had not reached the level of strength that a Dao Monarch possessed. Ancient God’s strength could only be imagined.

In the worst possible case, Ancient God was a Realmbreaker who could defeat Semi-Progenitors with the strength of an Envoy. With the suppression in place from the Master Brain’s manifested thoughts, the most strength that anyone could use was that of an Envoy. Semi-Progenitors could not release their full strength.

This meant that if Ancient God was indeed capable of defeating Semi-Progenitors with the strength of an Envoy, he was completely invincible.

“Hurry up and get them to pull back! Jiu Chen could not do anything to Ancient God even after unleashing his inner world and being trapped! There is no one who is Ancient God’s opponent here.” Arch-Elder Zen anxiously sent another message.

Lu Yin’s guess proved true. He immediately sent another message to Lu Buzheng, believing that as long as the ancient powerhouses were told Ancient God’s true identity, they would not continue their attack.

The people from the Heavens Sect era should be the most clear on the strength of a Dao Monarch.

However, nothing happened even after sending the message several times. There was no response at all.

“Move faster! No matter how powerful Ancient God might be, his Semi-Progenitor avatar can’t defeat Ancestor Tortoise,” Lu Yin urged. He felt very confident about Ancestor Tortoise’s defensive abilities.

Elsewhere in the Innerverse, an Aeternus Kingdom was being built atop Chaosgod Mountain.

There was a massive astral beast flying towards the mountain from the distance.

A young man in a gold-trimmed white robe looked out at countless corpse kings and frowned. “Back then, someone suggested completely wiping out the Aeternals, but the Progenitors rejected that proposal. After that, we only ever limited the number of the monsters and tried to stop their spread. To think that with the passage of time, they would have become the masters of this entire place.”

Lu Buzheng’s expression had turned somber. “There really is a tremendous amount of them.”

As he spoke, he looked up into space. “The power of a Progenitor is restricting us, which limits my strength, but that’s still fine.”

As the man spoke, a strand of qi swirled behind his body.
