NovelEnglishChapter 2898: It Is Inevitable
Lu Yin simply had too many enemies scattered across the Endless Frontier: Old Mo, Bai Wangyuan, Wang Fan, Bai Xian'er, Luo Shan, and the Seven Skygods. All of them were hiding on the Endless Frontier. Thus, he wanted to sweep through the entire Endless Frontier and resolve as many threats as he could.
Of course, the campaign to conquer the Endless Frontier was not a matter for just the Heavens Sect. It was impossible for Lu Yin to fight against Aeternus with just the Heavens Sect and no additional support.
He extended an open invitation to the rest of the Sixverse Association, allowing anyone who was interested in joining the campaign to do so. Lu Yin also personally invited various peak powerhouses to join, including the Arboreal Realm’s Mu Shikong and Lord Gan, the Lost Clan’s Shan Pu and Shan Fangyi, and the Voidforce Universe’s Xu Wuwei, Xu Heng, and Xu Leng.
In 100 days, the entire Sixverse Association would join Lu Yin’s crusade.
All of the Progenitors that the Origin Universe had sent out to help protect the Sixverse Association started to return, and many of them tried interacting with sequence particles. Lu Yin's goal was for everyone to surpass their peers, and that was not impossible with this newfound sequence particle research.
…
The news of the Heavens Sect’s crusade into the Endless Frontier quickly reached the Endless Frontier as well.
When Bai Wangyuan heard the news, his expression changed drastically. He refused to believe that Lu Yin simply intended to avenge Lord Wei; instead, he would rather believe that Lu Yin wanted to use this opportunity to deal with people like Bai Wangyuan. This was a problem. If the Heavens Sect really did sweep across the Endless Frontier, Bai Wangyuan would have no choice but to return to the Cyclic Universe.
Wang Fan had the sthoughts.
Mr. Daheng's reaction was even worse. He had finally managed to find a trace of Luo Shan, but the Monarch would not be easy to deal with. Mr. Daheng needed tto plan and prepare, and there was no way that he could finish his business in the 100 days left before the crusade started.
At this moment, Mr. Daheng completely resented Lu Yin. With the addition of the previous matter, Mr. Daheng really wanted to kill Lu Yin.
One person could change the lives of countless people with a single order.
Lu Yin's plan to conquer the Endless Frontier altered the plans of many peak powerhouses, all of whom had previously stood above almost all others.
Sovereign Lotus arrived at the Heavens Sect and waited in the main hall. Also present was Xu Wuwei.
"You two don't support this crusade to conquer the Endless Frontier?" Lu Yin's eyes fell on the two people. While he did not care about Sovereign Lotus’s opinion, he did respect Xu Wuwei.
Sovereign Lotus glanced at Xu Wuwei, looked back at Lu Yin, and slowly bowed. "Lord Lu."
Lu Yin's expression changed and softened a great deal. While it was true that he was prejudiced against Sovereign Lotus, this was mostly due to Lu Yin’s enmity against Shao Yin and the fact that Sovereign Lotus had deliberately stopped Lu Yin and saved Shao Yin from death. However, Sovereign Lotus had been acting at the Great Sovereign’s orders all along, and there was no real grudge between her and Lu Yin.
With Sovereign Lotus acting polite, Lu Yin had no reason to hold a grudge.
"Please tellyour concerns," Lu Yin asked in a far more polite tone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSovereign Ninth Lotus breathed a sigh of relief. She struggled to accept the need to bow to Lu Yin. He was a child who was not even a peak powerhouse, and yet she had no choice. He was the ruler of the Origin Universe and could even be considered the person best qualified to speak for humanity as a whole. There was no shin bowing to such a person, and given the fact that Lu Yin was capable of fighting against Shao Yin, bowing to Lu Yin could not be considered humiliating even to a Sovereign like her.
"The war between humans and Aeternus has gone on for countless years, and yet humans have never gained the upper hand. The reason for this is that the Aeternals all follow True God. If he tells them to die, none of the Aeternals will disobey. This, combined with their rising level of power, is utterly terrifying. True God stands at the top of Aeternus, with the Seven Skygods and Cheng Kong right below him. It is not wise to try to fight against existences like the captains of the True God Guard head-on. The Origin Universe’s Heavens Sect has gained more and more powerhouses, gathering a brilliant momentum, but since this is the case, why not choose the safer path, Lord Lu, and guide the Heavens Sect back to its former glory? After that, it will not be too late to lay waste to the Aeternals."
Lu Yin looked at Xu Wuwei. "Senior, do you have the sopinion?"
Xu Wuwei sighed. "We have been fighting on the Endless Frontier for far too long, and we have gained a deep understanding of the Aeternals. Lord Lu, I know that you want to eliminate Aeternus as soon as possible and erase humanity’s ancient enemy, but please remember not to be impatient. It is not that we fear death and don’t dare to fight against the Aeternals. Rather, your Heavens Sect has finally shown hope of returning to its former prosperity, and I don’t want that possibility to cto nothing.
"If not even the Great Sovereign and those who fought with her pushed into Aeternus’s territory, then what does it matter if we are able to sweep across the entire Endless Frontier?"
Lu Yin considered the man’s words.
Sovereign Lotus glanced at Xu Wuwei before continuing. "The Aeternals’ foundation and true strength is something that we don’t understand at all. Without absolute confidence, only after restoring the Heavens Sect to its former glory will it be tto have a decisive battle against the Aeternals. Additionally, the strength that the Aeternals have revealed on the Endless Frontier has at times completely surpassed what they’ve revealed even in my Cyclic Universe. They reach a completely different level…"
Sovereign Lotus shared information that not even Xu Wuwei was privy to. He had once wondered if the strength that the Aeternals had demonstrated in the Cyclic Universe was different from what they were capable of exerting on the Endless Frontier, but he did not understand the reasons for this difference.
Lu Yin raised his hand to stop Sovereign Lotus. With a solemn expression, he stated, "This crusade is inevitable."
Sovereign Lotus’s expression instantly changed. "Lord Lu-"
Lu Yin raised his hand to again stop the woman from continuing. "Your words of caution make sense, so please listen to my reasons.
"First, I have already announced that this crusade will be launched after 100 days of preparation. This announcement has gone out to all the universes, and I cannot rescind it.
"Second, this crusade is being launched by my Origin Universe against the Endless Frontier. The other member universes of the Sixverse Association can choose to join or simply protect their own universe. There is no obligation to join.
"Third." Lu Yin paused as he looked at Sovereign Lotus and Xu Wuwei before continuing to say, "Do you really believe that I am looking for quick success and an instant win in launching this crusade against the Endless Frontier? Do you think that I am trying to wipe out all of Aeternus as quickly as possible?"
Sovereign Ninth Lotus and Xu Wuwei were both confused. "Aren’t you?"
Many people from the Sixverse Association had this sthought. Lu Yin had beca Semi-Progenitor and brought back the Lu family. His universe was constantly gaining more and more Progenitor-level powerhouses, becoming ever more impressive. Given the circumstances, it was only normal for a young man like Lu Yin to be eager for quick success.
Many people believed that avenging Lord Wei’s death was just an excuse for Lu Yin to attack the Endless Frontier and that he really just wanted to leave a significant mark in history for himself.
If this crusade was successful, it would be an accomplishment remembered in the future by all generations of humanity.
Such temptation was too powerful.
Lu Yin laughed. "I, Lu Yin, have risen to my current status from the bottom as an ordinary cultivator. If your thoughts were true, I would have died countless times over the years.
"During the battle in the Transcendent Universe that killed Shaman God, we received a bit of news."
Lu Yin looked at the two people. "All of the Seven Skygods are seriously injured right now, and sare hiding on the Endless Frontier."
Both Sovereign Lotus and Xu Wuwei were startled. "The Seven Skygods are still on the Endless Frontier?"
Everyone believed that all the Seven Skygods had already returned to Aeternus’s territory, just like True God. No one thought that the Seven Skygods were still on the Endless Frontier.
Lu Yin's expression grew solemn. "The last major battle left all of the Seven Skygods severely injured, just like Shaman God, and sare still hiding on the Endless Frontier. Since we were able to kill Shaman God, we can do the sto more of the Seven Skygods. Don’t you two want to take advantage of this opportunity and eliminate one or two more of the Seven Skygods?”
Xu Wuwei grew excited. "Are you certain of this?"
Lu Yin replied, "Completely. Not only that, but this crusade to conquer the Endless Frontier can also serve as an opportunity to root out sof the spies hiding in the Sixverse Association. It would be best if we could deal with sof the Seven Skygods, but even if we can’t, we can ensure that the Sixverse Association obtains a strong advantage on the Endless Frontier. So then, why not use this opportunity?
"I absolutely will not invade the Aeternals’ territory, but this crusade is a battle that I must lead humanity in.
"If we cannot conquer even the Endless Frontier after gathering so many Progenitors, how can we ever hope to achieve victory over Aeternus?
"Win or lose, we need to demonstrate the strength of humanity.
"Do you two have any other objections?"
Sovereign Lotus felt helpless. It was clear that Lu Yin had made up his mind, and she could not change things. Furthermore, if it was really possible to eliminate one or two of the Seven Skygods, then the entire balance in the war between humanity and Aeternus might shift.
Even just Shaman God’s death was an incredible morale booster for the Sixverse Association. If one or two more of the Seven Skygods died, the Aeternals would fall to a disadvantage.
Sovereign Lotus and Xu Wuwei were visiting the Heavens Sect as representatives of many people’s thoughts and feelings towards Lu Yin’s crusade, and this was the only reason why Lu Yin had been willing to explain himself so thoroughly.
While the Heavens Sect was indeed launching a crusade to conquer the Endless Frontier, without any cooperation from the Sixverse Association, Lu Yin would face a great deal of pressure.
Once Sovereign Lotus and Xu Wuwei left, the opposition to the crusade from the Sixverse Association decreased substantially.
After 100 days of preparation, the Heavens Sect mobilized its troops, gathered cultivators, and stockpiled weapons from everywhere. At this time, cultivators from the Sixverse Association also started to arrive.
Lu Yin did not refuse anyone that he had personally invited, and he intended to personally participate in the crusade to conquer the Endless Frontier.
This was the first war that Lu Yin had instigated on his own since becoming the master of the Heavens Sect. Such a war was unprecedented, as there would be potentially dozens of peak powerhouses fighting on behalf of both humanity and Aeternus. Such a battle had been rare even during the most prosperous days of the ancient Heavens Sect.
This was also a vitally important step for Lu Yin to establish his status within the Sixverse Association.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEverything that he had done before had simply been enough to allow him to deny the Great Sovereign. However, this crusade would grant Lu Yin the right to becthe leading force for the entire Sixverse Association.
To start the crusade, the first thing was to assign the commanders.
As tpassed, more and more familiar faces returned to the Heavens Sect.
Ku Wei arrived, leading the Giant Army. Upon seeing the Heavens Sect, tears filled the man’s eyes. He had never wanted to go to the Astral Beast Domain. That place was too miserable.
"Hey, Ku Lei?"
Across the Heavens Sect’s plaza, Ku Lei was calmly sitting cross-legged. There were too many others like him present as well.
Glancing around, it was clear that there were at least a million people present in the plaza. There were cultivators from every place imaginable, and all of them were volunteers who had answered Lu Yin’s call.
Upon seeing Ku Lei, Ku Wei ran over.
Ku Lei frowned, stood up, and left.
Ku Wei blocked Ku Lei’s path. "Ku Lei, why are you running?"
Ku Lei was very different from how he had been in the past. He was calmer and more restrained. "Have you returned?"
Ku Wei proudly replied, "Master summoned the Giant Army, so how could they be here without me? So you’re here too? Aren't you afraid of dying on the Endless Frontier?"
Ku Lei indifferently answered, "My choices have nothing to do with you."
Ku Wei laughed. "I thought that someone like you would only hide in the back so that you can steal other people's achievements. What? Did the Ku family decide that you’re too useless and kick you out? Hahahaha!"
Ku Lei moved around Ku Wei and left.
After experiencing the vicissitudes of life, it was inevitable for people to grow and change. Even if speople had previously been exceptionally arrogant or had darkness lurking in their hearts, they could change as tpassed.
Ku Wei had not expected Ku Lei to just walk away without retorting. Was this really the sKu Lei that he had known before?
