Chapter 2851: Laying Down A Heavy Burden
If anyone else had made such a claim to Lu Yin, he would not believe them. As one of the four ruling powers, the Wang family had more than one Progenitor, so how could anyone hope to take away their Yellow Springs?
However, Lu Yin trusted Wei Rong, and he believed that the youth could do as he claimed. There were times when a sharp mind was even more reliable than absolute power.
Lu Yin rose to his feet. "Regardless, you gave me a nice surprise by sharing the location of Wang Jian and those with him. If not for you, they would have all escaped. I’ll credit their capture to you."
Wei Rong quickly stood up and bowed. "That was all a result of Wang Wen’s doing. If he hadn't taken control of the guides from the Sixverse Association, even if I had exposed their location, they would have still been able to leave. I don’t dare to take credit for that."
"You’re still responsible. Both of you worked to make that capture possible," Lu Yin said appreciatively.
Recruiting Wang Wen and Wei Rong was the best decision that Lu Yin had ever made all those years ago. Of the two, one was a brilliant strategist who could see the overall picture and long-term goals, while the other was scheming and skilled at manipulating the situation to deliver fatal blows to an enemy without them ever seeing anything coming. Having the two support him provided Lu Yin with a tremendous amount of peace of mind.
"How are those pawns?" Lu Yin suddenly asked.
Wei Rong straightened back up. "We released them."
Lu Yin nodded, his eyes flickering. "Then we need to just wait for the final results."
For a time, the Sixverse Association experienced a period of peace. The Endless Frontier returned to its typical condition, as the Aeternals neither increased nor decreased the intensity of their offensive on that battlefield.
Information regarding the captains of the True God Guard slowly trickled into the Origin Universe.
Ancestor Lu Yuan continued to try to revive Progenitor Ku while Lu Tianyi stood guard over the Perennial World, safeguarding against a sudden attack on the rear battlefield from Aeternus.
The Lu family had returned to the Perennial World, and the Heavens Sect was protecting the Fifth Mainland. Everything appeared quite harmonious.
However, Lu Yin knew that this stability would not last.
For countless years, the person who had fought against Aeternus the most was none other than Ancestor Lu Tianyi, and he had warned Lu Yin that the Aeternals had always maintained a certain balance. It might be a balance of strength, or some other balance that they observed, but the sudden return of the Lu family had clearly upset that balance. The Aeternals would absolutely take action.
There was no question that they would seek to regain the balance that they sought. If they could not handle the Lu family, then they would simply start elsewhere.
Lu Tianyi asked Lu Yin to be very careful, and he also asked him to warn the Sixverse Association.
Lu Yin sent a warning to Lord Xu and the other rulers of the universes, and all of them acknowledged Ancestor Lu Tianyi’s warning. After all, all of them had been fighting against Aeternus for a very long time.
Everyone was waiting to see what Aeternus would do.
After Lu Yin warned Lord Xu and the others, he had a strange suspicion that Aeternus might already be making their move, but so was the Sixverse Association.
As the ruler of the Origin Universe, Lu Yin would definitely be informed if the Sixverse Association was targeted, but he had not heard anything. This made him increasingly uneasy. No matter if the Aeternals or the Sixverse Association did something, the actions would definitely impact the Origin Universe.
For this reason, Lu Yin went to speak with Lord Xu, Great Elder Shan Gu, and others. He asked pointed questions and received clear answers. The Sixverse Association would certainly make a move soon, but only sequence powerhouses would be included. Anyone who had not yet reached that level would be excluded.
Lu Yin then understood that both Ancestor Lu Yuan and Ancestor Lu Tianyi must have already known about this, but that they had not mentioned anything to him.
While Lu Yin was indeed the ruler of the Origin Universe, as far as the rulers of the other universes in the Sixverse Association were concerned, the one who was truly in control of the Origin Universe was Ancestor Lu Yuan.
This was rather expected, as Lu Yin truly was unable to participate in battles at that level.
Ancestor Lu Yuan and the others had not told Lu Yin because they did not want him rashly getting involved. It would be too dangerous for him.
At last, Lu Yin experienced what it felt like to be protected.
If the sky fell, Ancestor Lu Yuan and others would hold it up. If attacks happened elsewhere, no matter how serious things might become, it was possible that Lu Yin would not even hear about such matters, as there was no point in him knowing about them.
After Lu Yin returned to the Heavens Sect, he considered the situation and then went to the Lu Sanctum to speak with Lu Tianyi. Lu Yin needed to be sure that, whatever the Sixverse Association did, it would not affect his own plans.
"Aeternus attacked the Great Sovereign’s Tea Ceremony, as well as our own Heavens Sect. Naturally, we should return the favor," Lu Tianyi replied.
Lu Yin was startled. "You’re invading the Aeternals?"
Lu Tianyi's expression grew stern. "Even after all these years, I still haven’t been able to determine the true depths of the Aeternals’ strength. If we rashly charge into their territory, we might be doomed. However, even without invading Aeternus, we can still beat them by removing their external claws.”
The bystander looked at the star essence, and greed lit up his eyes. He then obediently picked up the youth and lifted him up high.
The child laughed arrogantly. "See? He obeyed me! What do you think of my innate gift? Will Dao Monarch Lu accept me as his disciple?"
Wu Da felt humiliated. He had interviewed so many people before, but this child had completely shamed him.
Many people held back their laughter. This person was nothing but a child, though a rich one.
Wu Da soon moved on to interviewing other people.
"Excuse me, why do you think you will be accepted as Dao Monarch Lu’s disciple?"
"I graduated from the Astral Combat Academy."
Wu Da's eyes lit up. "Tell me more."
"I ranked in the top ten of the Astral Combat Tournament, and I am already a member of the Universe Youth Council, as well as a candidate for the strongest of my generation."
"Not bad," Wu Da praised. "You have a good chance."
"Thank you."
"Excuse me, why do you think you will be accepted as Dao Monarch Lu’s disciple?"
"Because I'm cute."
Wu Da was speechless.
"Excuse me, why do you think you will be accepted as Dao Monarch Lu’s disciple?"
"My name is Tuo Lin, and I am from the Cyclic Universe."
Wu Da was briefly taken aback, but then his expression grew much more intense. "The Cyclic Universe?"
Many people looked over.
The Origin Universe had officially joined the Sixverse Association. There were some businessmen from the Sixverse Association who were doing their best to expand into the Origin Universe, and the universe was already actively communicating with the rest of the member universes. There were already a number of people who were able to travel between various universes.
This particular person was quite young, but even so, people were surprised to see that someone from the Cyclic Universe wanted to become a disciple of the master of the Heavens Sect.
Wu Da sensed that this was quite the scoop, and he had all of the cameras focus on the young man. "Tuo Lin, right? Wait, you don't seem to have any cultivation."
Everyone else was also able to clearly sense that this young man seemed to have no cultivation at all.
The young man blushed brightly. With so many people focused on him, he lowered his head and quietly replied, "That’s right, I have no cultivation."
Everyone lost interest in the young man. Why should a young man with absolutely no cultivation become Dao Monarch Lu’s disciple? Not to mention Dao Monarch Lu—there was no sect in the entire Fifth Mainland who would accept such a person.
On the other hand, Wu Da felt differently. This young man did not cultivate, so how had he arrived in the Origin Universe and just outside the Heavens Sect at that? There was something odd about the matter, even if the young man was inside a spacecraft.
"Could you tell me why you think you should be accepted as Dao Monarch Lu’s disciple?" Wu Da asked again.
Tuo Lin picked his head back and stared at the enormous Heavens Sect with fierce determination. "I have to become Dao Monarch Lu’s disciple."
"I’m sorry, but why?" Wu Da pressed.
