Star Odyssey

Chapter 1250: Resolution

Northgate Taisui had been completely stunned when he had heard news of Lu Yin defeating Daynight Flowzone. The young man standing before the ancient powerhouse had relied on powerful people to protect himself when he had been younger, yet he had already grown into his own power and had accomplished countless feats.

Northgate Taisui had paid close attention to Lu Yin’s actions over the years and was extremely wary of the youth. This was also why Northline Flowzone had responded so strongly when the Great Eastern Alliance had taken over the Blaze Realm. Northgate Taisui, a powerhouse with a power level exceeding 400,000, was scared!

“It’s nice to see you again, Senior,” Lu Yin boarded the spacecraft and spoke calmly.

Northgate Taisui’s eyes flashed as he stepped forward. “It’s been a while, Alliance Leader Lu.”

Lu Yin smiled. “Senior, you look as healthy as ever.”

“Haha, thank you, Alliance Leader Lu. Please, follow me.” It had been a very long time since Northgate Taisui had needed to pretend to show someone respect, and it felt very awkward.

Northgate Taisui was followed by the Northgate family’s patriarch, the family’s inheritor, Northgate Kong, Northgate Lie, Northgate Gang, and the Northgate family’s Enlighter powerhouse, Elder Northgate. Also present was the Lily family’s matriarch, Lily Liana, and her heir, Lily Anne, and Lily Shu’Er. Finally, the Barthe Jacques family’s patriarch, Henry, and his heir, Harold, was present along with Banico and Tie Sa.

Almost all of Northline Flowzone’s important characters had appeared to welcome Lu Yin.

This was a huge honor for anyone.

Lu Yin was already aware that the current Northline Flowzone could not compare in any way to the Great Eastern Alliance. Also, since Northgate Taisui had referred to Lu Yin as Alliance Leader, Lu Yin intended to interact with them as the Alliance Leader of the Great Eastern Alliance.

Naturally, Lu Yin ignored Northgate Kong and everyone else present, as only Northgate Taisui was qualified to speak with Lu Yin. This also helped Lu Yin demonstrate his status as the Alliance Leader while also flaunting his power to Northline Flowzone’s top individuals since they were still enemies.

Northgate Kong and the rest did not reveal any displeasure and simply stood there silently, watching as Lu Yin followed Northgate Taisui deeper into the vessel.

Ku Wei arrogantly followed behind Lu Yin, looking like a lackey.

Lily Anne watched Lu Yin with a complicated expression. In just ten years he had climbed to such impressive heights. If only she could have seen this coming, as she would have made sure to reach a partnership with Lu Yin no matter what.

Lily Anne had learned about Granny Chan’s actions only after the connection between the Innerverse and Outerverse had been restored. Lily Anne had been furious, as she had been friends with Lu Yin, yet her family had become Lu Yin’s greatest enemy from Northline Flowzone’s three families.

Within the ship’s guest lounge, Northgate Taisui sat across from Lu Yin as Lily Anne stood behind the elder.

“Alliance Leader Lu, it’s been ten years, hasn’t it?” Northgate Taisui smiled.

Lu Yin replied, “Yes, it’s already been ten years.”

“My Northline Flowzone has had some history with you, and I still remember when Alliance Leader was placed in charge of our Youth Council and you were a witness during the competition at Northgate Platform.” Northgate Taisui tried to establish some rapport with Lu Yin.

Lu Yin’ laughed. “That’s right, I also used Northline Flowzone’s ships to get to the fight on Pyrolyte Planet.” He paused and swirled his teacup. “However, I don’t understand why Northline Flowzone has expressed so much animosity towards me recently.”

Northgate Taisui’s eyes flashed. “Animosity? Where did you hear that, Alliance Leader Lu?’

Lily Anne carefully watched Lu Yin.

Ku Wei, who was standing behind Lu Yin, shouted back, “Old man, are you just acting dumb? Does His Highness need people to tell him about such things? As long as he wants to find out about something, who can hide anything from him?”

Northgate Taisui frowned and glared at Ku Wei, and put a tremendous amount of pressure on the obnoxious youth.

Ku Wei’s face went red, but he simply snorted and kept his head high.

Northgate Taisui was shocked. He had assumed that Ku Wei was just a simple lackey, and had not expected the youth to be able to withstand such pressure. Even Northgate Lie, who was Northline Flowzone’s most elite youth, was incapable of such.

The elder seriously appraised Ku Wei seriously, and asked, “Young man, where are you from?”

Ku Wei just sneered.

Lu Yin reprimanded him, “Ku Wei, don’t be rude to Senior Northgate.”

Northgate Taisui’s brows rose as soon as he heard Ku Wei’s name. ‘Ku’ was not a typical surname. The older man looked back at Ku Wei before turning to Lu Yin. “Alliance Leader Lu, there have been quite a few misunderstandings. I’m sure you understand Northline Flowzone’s position, and your Great Eastern Alliance’s occupation of the Blaze Realm has incited chaos for us.”

Lu Yin put down his teacup. “So, are you saying you want the Great Eastern Alliance to leave the Innerverse?”

Northgate Taisui anxiously replied, “Of course not, I merely wanted to clear the air. Northline Flowzone wishes to be on good terms with you, Alliance Leader Lu.”

Lily Anne smiled and spoke up, “Alliance Leader Lu, please believe our Northline Flowzone’s sincerity.”

She stepped forward and offered Lu Yin a cosmic ring.

Lily Anne was the person in Northline Flowzone who knew Lu Yin the best, and she was aware of how much Lu Yin loved money.

Lu Yin didn’t move, and instead Ku Wei took the offered ring. He glanced at it and tossed it back towards Lily Anne. “Lady, since Northline Flowzone is such a small place, His Highness won’t blame you for this, but how could you believe that a mere million star essence would be enough to remove past grudges?”

Lu Yin turned towards Lily Anne and smiled. “Miss Anne, we’re old friends; what need is there for you to do this? The Great Eastern Alliance will not attack your Northline Flowzone, so you have no need to worry.”

Lily Anne bowed. “This is my fault, and I hope you won’t blame me, Alliance Leader Lu.”

She then turned to look at Northgate Taisui.

Northgate Taisui made a gesture to her.

Lily Anne left the room and Lily Shu’er entered. She had a huge smile on her face, and her actions were the complete opposite of Lily Anne’s.

Lily Anne appeared elegant and knowledgeable, while Lily Shu’er was active and vibrant.

She carefully took out ten cosmic rings after entering the room, and she placed them on the table. She grinned at Lu Yin and stuck out her tongue at him before running back out of the room.

Lu Yin shot a curious look at Northgate Taisui.

Northgate Taisui looked at Lu Yin. “Alliance Leader Lu, my Northline Flowzone has no significant grudges with you, and these are just some small gifts we prepared for you. I hope you will accept them and forgive any past actions of Northline Flowzone that might have offended you.”

Lu Yin glanced at the cosmic rings. “Are all these being offered to remove old grudges?”

Northgate Taisui answered sincerely, “That’s right. We have no further intentions.”

Lu Yin remained sitting while Ku Wei stepped forward and silently collected the cosmic rings.

“Senior Northgate, how many people from the Northline Flowzone are participating in ZENITH?” Lu Yin asked.

Northgate Taisui showed a bitter smile. “Only three: Lily Anne, Lily Shu’er and Northgate Gang. The other youths simply aren’t ready.”

Lu Yin smiled. “There are four.”

Northgate Taisui was confused.

Lu Yin continued, “Ah Fan graduated from your Northline Flowzone’s Shangwu Academy, and he’s currently based at San Dios and serves my Great Eastern Alliance.”

Northgate Taisui had not even known of Ah Fan’s existence, but as soon as he heard that this person served the Great Eastern Alliance, Northgate Taisui smiled. “I didn’t realize we had another elite. Thank you, Alliance Leader Lu, for your help.”

Lu Yin answered, “It was nothing. By the way, your ship isn’t very fast.”

Northgate Taisui explained, “We don’t want to travel too quickly as things are already so chaotic at Zenith Mountain. Everyone in the entire universe wants to leave their name on the mountain, and some of our enemies are already there. Northline Flowzone is not very strong, so we don’t want to arrive too early. Additionally, with so many geniuses participating in ZENITH, I don’t want Anne and the others to be discouraged.”

Lu Yin understood how the man felt. Judging by the strength he had observed Lily Anne and the others possessed, they would not be able to do anything during ZENITH. If they arrived too soon, people would be able to discover their weaknesses, and they might even attract their enemies’ attention.

Lu Yin and Ku Wei returned to their own vessel once matters were resolved.

Lu Yin had resolved his grudges with Northline Flowzone, but that was only past grudges. He had not made any mention of grudges that might be made in the future, and he had never promised to leave Northline Flowzone alone. It was just a matter of time before the Great Eastern Alliance needed to expand.

Ku Wei passed Lu Yin the ten cosmic rings after they returned to their own spacecraft. “Seventh Bro, was this really just trying to smooth things out between you and them? They’re paying a massive price, as there’s almost ten million star essence here. That’s basically a tenth of the Blaze Realm’s treasury.”

Lu Yin stored the star essence. “That old man wants me to take care of his people from Northline Flowzone during ZENITH.”

“How?” Ku Wei hesitated. “Let them past the gate?”

Lu Yin nodded. “This is a competition open to the entire universe. No matter how many people sign up, as long as someone is able to get past the first level, they will be able to have their name on Zenith Mountain for another day, which will bring greater glory to their family. Although Northgate Taisui said that he doesn’t have any hope for his family during this competition, he still would like to see their names remain on Zenith Mountain even just a bit longer.”

“That’s true. Seventh Bro, as long as you cut them some slack during the competition and don’t make things too difficult for them, they should be able to make it through,” Ku Wei said.

The reality was that what Lu Yin was saying was just one of the reasons behind offering such wealth. Another big motivation was the Lily family trying to apologize for the incident with Granny Chan. The three families might not have offered up equal amounts of money for this peace offering, and the Lily family might have needed to supply the majority.

No matter what was behind the gift, Lu Yin was happy just to receive ten million star essence. This also seemed like a good way of earning money.

Lu Yin looked at space. As long as he was powerful, he would have no need to fight for what he wanted, as it would simply appear before him.

…

In Chaos Flowzone, after Zenith Mountain had appeared, many planets had begun to appear around the mountain, as well as many strange buildings. Various major powers had sent these structures, and many of the elder generation’s powerhouses began to appear.

More and more people gathered at Zenith Mountain, and they were from the Innerverse, the Outerverse, the Cosmic Sea, the Neoverse, and even the Sixth Mainland.

Countless different styles of spacecraft could be seen, and some did not even look like spaceships.

Also, whenever people gathered together, conflicts would arise.

Nearly a hundred fights broke out on a daily basis due to all sorts of things.

At this moment, An Shaohua was fighting against Xun Jiong on one planet.

One of the two was from Watermoon Villa, while the other was from the Xun family. Their strength was comparable, and they had already been fighting for many hours.
