Star Odyssey

Chapter 2785: Nine Heavens And Ten Earths

Mu Xie's words resonated with Lu Yin, as he had experienced the exact same thing. When Lu Yin had entered the pocket dimension with the mountain and sea, he had struggled to climb the mountain, where he had met Mister Mu. Lu Yin had gone on to demonstrate all of his abilities that he had been so proud of, thinking that he would amaze Mister Mu. And yet, the man had not cared at all.

When Lu Yin thought back to that time, it was true that everything he had encountered before meeting with Mister Mu would not have mattered to someone at that man’s level.

What Mister Mu had truly been impressed by was the power system taking shape within Lu Yin’s chest. It unified many different powers and energies in a path that no one had ever tread on before. It was the only thing about Lu Yin that had ever surprised Mister Mu.

As his disciples, all of them wanted to understand their master’s strength, and they all sought the opportunity to surprise the man. That was simply because the gap between the disciples and their master was too big.

"Since you’ve received Master's promise, then I can be at ease about you meeting the Great Sovereign. The Heavens Sect has nothing to fear," Mu Xie stated.

Lu Yin frowned. "We still need to be on guard against Old Mo. That old freak has touched upon the laws of the universe and can control sequence particles, which means that his strength is nearly at the same level as the Seven Skygods’."

Mu Xie grew solemn as he considered the matter. At the moment, there was no powerhouse in the Heavens Sect who could deal with that powerful old monster. Fortunately, there were so many Progenitors that Old Mo might not be able to act as he wished.

"By the way, who is our senior brother in the Sixverse Association?" Lu Yin asked.

Mu Xie looked away. "You will find out when it's time for you to know."

After Mu Xie left, Chen Le arrived.

After the Monarch had learned that Origin Universe had become a member of the Sixverse Association, he felt incredibly relieved that he would not be punished by the Great Sovereign. However, after learning that Lu Yin would be meeting with the Great Sovereign, Chen Le’s worries had returned in full force.

If anything happened to Lu Yin, Chen Le had no idea what would become of him. He had already boarded the ship that was the Heavens Sect, so he naturally hoped to sail as far as possible. If Lu Yin was killed by the Great Sovereign, that ship would be destroyed.

"Are you confident about your meeting with the Great Sovereign?" Chen Le asked.

Lu Yin looked at the man. "You came at just the right time. I need you to do something."

Chen Le was puzzled, but after hearing what Lu Yin had to say, the man was instead shocked. "Right now? This won't anger the Great Sovereign, will it?"

"This is an internal matter of my Origin Universe, so what does it have to do with the Great Sovereign? If I don't do this, I won't be able to become the ruler of the Origin Universe. Instead, the Great Sovereign will take the opportunity to give others permission to beat me to death, and you won't be able to escape either. You’ve already betrayed Luo Shan, so even if someone else accepts you, they will never trust you. More likely than not, you’ll be sent to the Endless Frontier to keep Luo Shan company." Lu Yin’s answer was like a cold splash of water.

Chen Le's heart sank. Would he really be sent to Luo Shan? If that happened, Luo Shan would inevitably find a way to eliminate Chen Le.

Even though Chen Le believed that Luo Shan was not a particularly powerful individual and that the man had used deception and the Great Sovereign’s favor from receiving a gift of tea leaves to arrive at his current position, there was no doubt in Chen Le’s mind that Luo Shan was more powerful than him.

"Don't worry, you won’t be acting alone. This time, everyone will be moving," Lu Yin said as he stared off into the distance. It was time for the Heavens Sect to take action.

After sending Chen Le away, Lu Yin made his way alone to the cauldron at the bottom of the staircase that led through the Heavens Sect. He Ran was still there, as without Lu Yin's permission, she really could do nothing but stay where she was and serve as the sect’s mascot.

When the woman saw Lu Yin coming, she automatically put on a display of unparalleled arrogance.

Lu Yin ignored her and instead walked over to the cauldron, which he touched with a hand. He then turned back and looked up at the statue of the Origin Progenitor which stood at the top of the stairs. One day, he vowed to himself, I will reach that same level, and I will eliminate the threat of Aeternus once and for all!

...

In a dark place on the Endless Frontier, water dripped to the ground. After an endless amount of time, the stone had formed a bowl under the constant erosion of the water.

Luo Shan leaned against a cliffside as he looked out. The feeling of being watched had finally disappeared.

I never expected that someone like me, who’s fought countless times on the Endless Frontier, would be careless enough to accidentally get caught up in a battle between Sovereign Dou Sheng and Corpse God! But they aren’t much better off...

After this, there’s no way that my true strength won’t be exposed, but in that case, so be it. The Great Sovereign already knows, so all this means is that the rest of the Sixverse Association will know about it as well.

Do they really think that I, the ruler of the Three Monarchs Universe, achieved my position because of a woman?

Luo Shan's expression fell as he thought of Lu Yin. That brat would pay for what he had done.

For the moment, Luo Shan’s top priority was to get away from the Endless Frontier. His status and reputation meant that he would inevitably be targeted by Aeternus, regardless of which parallel universe he entered. This was different from Lu Yin, whose power level was only equal to one of the Three Monarchs Universe’s Attendants, yet who somehow possessed the combat strength of a peak powerhouse. Despite the fact that Lu Yin possessed a high level of strength, he was not at a level that worried the Aeternals. They would not care even if he went ahead and purged three of the battlefield’s parallel universes.

Luo Shan was aware that Lu Yin had already left the Endless Frontier, as well as the fact that a Progenitor-level corpse king had fallen to the brat.

At this moment, the Monarch suddenly remembered something, and he pulled out his communication crystal from his cosmic ring.

The news that Luo Shan had gotten caught up in the battle between Sovereign Dou Sheng and Corpse God must have already spread, but Luo Shan had not made contact with anyone. This was not because he was trying to remain hidden, but rather because, ever since that battle, he had felt as though someone was watching him, and he believed that it was Corpse God. If that old freak had decided to not fight Sovereign Dou Sheng to the death and instead pursue him, then his situation would be truly worrying. Luo Shan had not touched his communication crystal out of fear of being found by Corpse God.

None of the Seven Skygods were easy opponents, and Luo Shan had no desire to fight a deathmatch with those old monsters, only to have someone else to reap the benefits.

Only recently had the feeling of being watched gone away, which meant that Corpse God should have moved on. It was finally safe for Luo Shan to stop hiding.

"Monarc Luo Shan, Proximity has received word that the Three Monarchs universe has officially been removed from the Sixverse Association and added to the Endless Frontier. Senior is permitted to return to the Three Monarchs Universe whenever you wish."

Luo Shan shot to his feet, his expression drastically changing. "What are you saying? That the Three Monarchs Universe is no longer a part of the Sixverse Association and that it’s been added to the Endless Frontier? That’s impossible!"

"Senior, if you don't believe me, you can come straight to the closest data center and speak directly with Proximity."

Luo Shan moved without any hesitation, his face a terrible sight to behold.

Proximity would not lie to him, but how could this have happened? The Three Monarchs Universe still had Monarch Xing and Chen Le, and Luo Shan would be able to return in less than ten years. They also were being assisted by the four ruling powers, so there was no reason for the Three Monarchs Universe to have been kicked out of Sixverse Association regardless of how dire the situation was. What could have changed?

Could things have somehow been changed by Luo Shan disappearing after the battle that he had gotten caught up in? No, that was also impossible. Even if others did not understand Luo Shan’s true strength, the Great Sovereign did. The Monarch would not die easily even after participating in such a battle. In the entire Endless Frontiers and the Sixverse Association, there were very few who could measure up to Luo Shan, and there was no other universe that could replace the Three Monarchs Universe.

In that case, why had the Great Sovereign removed the Three Monarchs Universe?

Luo Shan had many questions, but he remained cautious as he approached the closest data center. It was possible that the whole thing was a conspiracy of Aeternus. Could they have seized control of a data center and then used that to disperse false information? It was not impossible. After all, Sage Stone had been killed by Cheng Kong because the Sage’s whereabouts had been leaked.

Luo Shan was more cautious than anyone, and he carefully sneaked closer to the data center.

After finally confirming that there was nothing amiss, he entered and had no issues initiating a conversation with Proximity.

Some time later, Luo Shan’s expression worsened even further, as he had finally caught up on all of the recent events.

The Transcendent Universe had suggested removing the Three Monarchs Universe from the Sixverse Association, and while Bai Qian had submitted the proposal, Luo Shan would never believe that the woman possessed the courage to do so on her own. Lord Wei must be the one behind the proposal, and he was definitely taking revenge for how Luo Shan had cooperated with Sovereign Shao Yin and the You family to overthrow the ruler of the Transcendent Universe.

Luo Shan had known that Lord Wei would eventually take revenge, but he had not expected the man to move so quickly or so viciously.

Luo Shan’s disappearance had been used as an excuse to remove the Three Monarchs Universe from the Sixverse Association. While the Great Sovereign was aware of Luo Shan’s true strength, for some unknown reason, he had done nothing to prevent the Three Monarchs Universe from losing its status and being condemned. Luo Shan could not understand this particular detail at all.

As for the fact that the Origin Universe had replaced the Three Monarchs Universe in the Sixverse Association, that defied anything Luo Shan could have imagined.

Why had all of this happened?

It was clear that the Great Sovereign hated the Origin Universe, and it was also readily apparent that Sovereign Shao Yin had been trying to destroy the Origin Universe. The Sovereign was only working towards his own ends, and in doing so, had catered to the Great Sovereign's wishes, but that did not change the outcome.

Luo Shan felt as though he had been helping someone in a fight, only for them to suddenly make peace with their opponent and turn on him instead.

More and more reports were sent to Luo Shan.

While he had only been missing for a short amount of time, many things had happened during that time.

A roar echoed in every direction, powerful enough that the stars shattered.

Luo Shan clenched his fists as he stared at the display in front of him with bloodshot eyes. Had Monarch Xing and Chen Le really betrayed him and joined the Origin Universe’s Heavens Sect? Lu Yin! Again, it was that same Lu Yin! He was the one behind everything that had happened!

Why had all of this happened?

It was the same question that the Monarch had asked many times before, but no one could give him an answer.

How had Lu Yin managed to subvert both Monarch Xing and Chen Le and convince them to betray Luo Shan? The Monarch could not even begin to guess.

Luo Shan was not alone, as Sage Bodhi had also felt that the news seemed impossible when she first received the reports. How had Lu Yin convinced Monarch Xing and Chen Le to betray their own universe? How had he managed to elevate the Origin Universe to the point where it was qualified to join the Sixverse Association? It couldn’t have been one of his people who had suggested to the Great Sovereign that the Three Monarchs Universe be eliminated or that it be replaced by the Origin Universe. But then, why would anyone from the Sixverse Association be willing to help Lu Yin?

In the end, the Three Monarchs Universe had lost its status due to Luo Shan going missing and the Transcendent Universe proposing that the Three Monarchs Universe lose its status. It seemed clear that the Transcendent Universe had moved to get revenge on Luo Shan and that Lu Yin had nothing at all to do with the matter.

As for the proposal that the Origin Universe be added to the Sixverse Association, that had been suggested due to the impressive number of peak powerhouses in the Origin Universe.

How could the Great Sovereign turn a blind eye to anyone trying to help the Origin Universe? The Great Sovereign hated that place.

The turn of events was quite mysterious, and the mysteries seemed to envelop Lu Yin as well.

At this moment, even the Sixverse Association felt that it was impossible to understand Lu Yin.

In the end, there was no changing what had already happened, which meant that Luo Shan could only accept the current situation.

He did not immediately return to his Three Monarchs Universe, as it was possible that monsters like Forgotten Ruins God were waiting there. Returning so soon would be the same as walking into a trap.

The Three Monarchs Universe would soon be added to the Endless Frontier, which meant that Luo Shan did not need to return right away.

Lu Yin, Lu Yin! Luo Shan’s eyes blazed red. He would make that brat pay for what he had done.

In fact, not only would Lu Yin be forced to pay, but so too would Lord Wei and Sovereign Shao Yin. If not for Sovereign Shao Yin, Luo Shan would have never gotten involved in the conspiracy against Lord Wei. None of Luo Shan’s targets could escape, and he would not let them have an easy time of things.

Luo Shan had lost the Three Monarchs Universe, which meant that he no longer had anything to lose, which removed all of his restraints. No matter if his opponent was Lord Wei, Sovereign Shao Yin, or even the Great Sovereign, Luo Shan would not let anyone who had wronged him live in peace.

...

The Cyclic Universe was the leader of the Sixverse Association. In that universe, only those who were able to pass through the Heavenly Gate and enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were allowed to meet the Great Sovereign.

The cultivator who had led Lu Yin to the Cyclic Universe was only as powerful as an Envoy, and after arriving at the Heavenly Gate, the woman stepped back and turned to look at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin looked up at the Heavenly Gate that towered high into space before him. Was this the path to meeting with the Great Sovereign?

Past the Heavenly Gate lay the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and before the Heavenly Gate, there were countless cultivators kneeling and praying, hoping for the opportunity to pass through the Heavenly Gate and see the Great Sovereign. Doing so would allow them to ascend to the heavens in a single step, instantly arriving at the top of the entire Sixverse Association.

In the Sixverse Association, the Three Sovereigns and Nine Sages were given their seats and power. This meant that as long as a person could enter the Heavenly Gate and gain the Great Sovereign’s favor, they could instantly rise to the same level as those mighty powerhouses. Even if one did not covet the positions of the Three Sovereigns and Nine Sages, there were many other positions in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths that could be granted.
