Chapter 2674: Proposal

Chapter 2674: Proposal

The majestic voice did not answer immediately. There was a lengthy pause before it responded, "You want the Origin Universe to become part of the Endless Frontier?"

"Isnt that only right? Theyve defeated the Aeternals and driven them out of their universe, but now they want to remain safe and protected while forcing our Sixverse Association to bear the full brunt of Aeternus. Its absurd! If not for us, how could they have ever exiled the Lu family? Where would the four ruling powers have come from?" Sovereign Shao Yin spat out contemptuously.

"Ive heard that the one unwilling to rejoin the war with Aeternus is a member of the Lu family."

Sovereign Shao Yin retorted, "Thats nothing more than an excuse! How could the four ruling powers possibly be willing to accept being thrown back into the war if there is any other option? They are merely using that descendent of the Lu family as an excuse to refuse us. They dont know how to show gratitude at all! Sage Yuan told me everything, and the four ruling powers are maintaining a balance with this descendent of the Lu family while leaving our Sixverse Association to deal with the Aeternals for them. Its absurd! When did it become their turn to make the decisions?

"Its only right to make the Origin Universe part of the Endless Frontier, or even the primary battlefield against Aeternus."

"Very well, I can agree to this."

Sovereign Shao Yin was satisfied. "In that case, I will not hold your Transcendent Universe accountable for what has happened to my disciple. However, the culprit must be found.

Its not easy for you to move out, so return. I will do nothing to your people."

Some time later, Uncle Mo awoke, and he looked up to see a man in a golden robe standing with his back to Uncle Mo and the other two. This man was none other than Sovereign Shao Yin.

Uncle Mos expression changed dramatically, and he quickly bowed low. "This junior greets Senior Sovereign."

"Wake the others," Sovereign Shao Yin calmly commanded.

Uncle Mo hurriedly woke up both He Ran and He Shu.

When He Ran opened her eyes and saw Sovereign Shao Yin before her, terror filled her eyes. This was someone who could kill her without fear of any repercussions.

This was her first time facing the risk of death in the Transcendent Universe, and she was instantly cast down from her lofty status and into the shoes of a mere mortal. For the first time, the woman understood that, even in the Transcendent Universe, she could still die.

Sovereign Shao Yin turned around to face He Ran. "What happened to Qingfeng?"

He Ran's face grew pale. "We are still investigating."

Sovereign Shao Yin frowned and looked at He Shu.

The young man gave a respectful bow and proceeded to share all that had happened, "If Xie Wu hadn't used his own Lotus Artifact to take both of us back to the Sixverse Academy, I would have been pulled into the Lost Clans card that was used against us."

Sovereign Shao Yin was stunned; was the Lost Clan involved in this matter? That was not necessarily the case. The truth was that, over the years, many people had acquired one of the Lost Clans cards, as they were incredibly useful. Many people had collected the cards even before the founding of the Sixverse Academy, so the mere appearance of a card indicated nothing at all.

White energy converters and the Lost Clans cards were powers that were known to all, and just the fact that both methods had been used made it impossible to know who had attacked Shao Qingfeng.

The attack had been performed cleanly and without any mistakes. Sovereign Shao Yin even personally investigated the location of the attack, but not a single clue had been left behind.

The Sovereign was aware of the plan that He Shu and the others had been concocting, and he also knew that they had most likely wanted to pin the blame onto the You family. However, even if the You family had wanted to sabotage the plan, they would have simply killed He Shu and Tu Ke. They would not have bothered with Shao Qingfeng at all. Monarch Luo had already attacked the Ziyou Realm, and the family would not be trying to provoke Sovereign Shao Yin as well.

Sovereign Shao Yin soon left. What had happened to Shao Qingfeng had actually worked to the Sovereigns benefit. As for who had attacked Shao Qingfeng, Sovereign Shao Yin would continue to investigate the matter, but it was no longer important. He did not truly care about Shao Qingfengs fate at all.

However, while Sovereign Shao Yin did not care, He Ran certainly did. She had almost been scared to death by Sovereign Shao Yins arrival. How could she allow such an offense to pass without retaliation?

He Ran used her full influence to investigate the matter, and for some time, the Transcendent Universe was quite busy.

You Fang, Xuan Qi, and Bai Qian had confirmed their alliance, and the first thing on their combined agenda was that You Fang wanted to find out exactly what kind of cultivation technology Zi Jing was researching.

This research had been kept strictly confidential, and You Fang had not been able to find anything, despite his best efforts.

If he was not even aware of what was being researched, then how could he hope to deal with his opponents? This was the reasoning that You Fang used to convince Xuan Qi. However, this only confirmed to Lu Yin that You Fang was not really trying to deal with He Ran, but rather the ruler of the Transcendent Universe.

Zi Jing was performing her research for the ruler of the universe. After all, how could He Ran be the one behind researching something like sequence particles?

The mans priorities made his intentions all too clear to Lu Yin.

"Why don't you help them?" Lu Yin asked as he took a seat next to the woman.

She was startled by his sudden presence and reflexively pulled back, warily regarding her unexpected visitor.

The people nearby did not seem to even see the young man, as they all continued to sit in silence.

The woman stared at Lu Yin. "Is it really you?"

Lu Yin smiled. "Its been quite some time."

The woman could not believe who she was seeing. "Why are you here?"

"I came to see you."

"To see me?" The woman felt lost.

Lu Yin raised a hand and briefly set it on the womans shoulder. She had reached a level comparable to an Enlighter, but she was still completely unable to resist this young man. The void opened, and she was dragged away by Lu Yin. They arrived in Aeternus Nation.

Once she was released, the woman pulled back and moved away from Lu Yin while staring at him in terror. Chills covered her body, and spots of light appeared around her.

"Have you already forgotten the first time you met me?" Lu Yin teased.

The woman was startled, and the lights disappeared. It was true, attacking this man would be pointless, as she was no match for him at all.

"Who are you? Why did you come find me?"

"I want to work with you."

"Work with me?" The woman was confused.

Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back as he calmly explained, "There is a forbidden area in the Transcendent Universe. Due to an accident that occurred when they were mining resources there, the place has become completely inhospitable, and its no different from a death trap. However, theres a research facility hidden there, and I want to get into it and find something.

"What does that have to do with me?" The woman was even more confused.

Lu Yin answered with a smile, "I can't go in there on my own. I happened to discover that there is a group of people from your Cloudflow Universe hiding in the Transcendent Universe, and they periodically attack this facility. Theyre trying to save Cloudflow."

The woman's pupils instantly shrank, and she stared at Lu Yin for a moment before taking a step forward. "Lord Cloudflow?"

Lu Yin nodded. "That's what they called him, Lord Cloudflow. He should be an extremely powerful expert whos been imprisoned in that place by the Transcendent Universe. Unfortunately, your people never succeed in freeing him."

The woman grew excited. "Where is Lord Cloudflow being held? Is this really true?"

"If you don't believe me, I can take you to meet with the other people from your Cloudflow Universe. While they fail every time they attack the research facility, more of your people continuously join their efforts. I believe that you must already know something about this, as everyone in their group is from your Cloudflow Universe," Lu Yin said with a smile.

The woman said nothing. She did not know if she was being lied to or not, but it was true that, before she had been sent to the bestowal art carrier, the people of the Cloudflow Universe had been internally separated. One group had been sent to obey the orders of the Transcendent Universe, while the other group had been hidden away. The goal of the hidden group was to sneak into the Transcendent Universe and rescue Lord Cloudflow.

There were powerful people from the Cloudflow Universe who were able to freely enter and leave the Transcendent Universe. This was one of their greatest secrets.

This woman could have gone to the Transcendent Universe with the other group, but she had wanted to protect her family, so she had hidden her talent and innate gift so that she could stay with them.

However, her entire family was already long dead. She had not been able to protect them.
