Star Odyssey

in and the Sixth Mainland at the same time.

”Aren ’t you afraid that your Great Eastern Alliance will be destroyed first? You and the Sixth Mainland are already enemies, ” Xu Qing said.

A smile returned to Lu Yin ’s face.
”If we are wiped out, then the Sixth Mainland will regain control of these eastern weaves, and then youll stand no chance at all.
By staying, we will also promise to never take the initiative to start a fight with the Astral Beast Domain, and we will not be the ones to trigger a war.
You will only face the Sixth Mainland as your enemy, and we will provide a buffer here in these eastern weaves.
Otherwise, youll have to deal with a counterattack from the entire Outerverse.

”I ’m offering you a hand. ”

Xu Qing sneered.
”Youre simply trying to use us to hold back the Sixth Mainland so that you can accomplish your goal of taking over the eastern Outerverse.
Your motivations are too obvious, Lu Yin. ”

”So, do you agree? ” Lu Yin retorted.

Xu Qing fell silent.
Did he agree? He did not have any choice, not unless he was capable of defeating the Great Eastern Alliance.
However, that was impossible.
If Xu Qing did not accept this deal, then the Celestial Beast Empire would have to face the full might of the Sixth Mainlands furious counterattack, and they might not even be able to retain control of the Primal Zone.

Such an outcome was completely unacceptable for Xu Qing.
He was already responsible for the deaths of too many powerhouses, and he was going to face a severe backlash after returning to the Celestial Beast Empire.
In particular, Sword Kings death had caused opinions to turn against Xu Qing far more than ever before.
If the astral beasts also lost control of the Primal Zone, Xu Qing would be completely discredited, and he would be treated as a joke.

Agreeing to Lu Yin ’s deal meant that Xu Qing would be able to lead countless astral beasts to attack the Sixth Mainland.
He had no hope of gaining any territory in the Outerverse for the Astral Beast Domain through these efforts as he was no idiot.
However, he did hope to become the sole general in the history of the Astral Beast Domain to invade the Outerverses central weaves.
Such an accomplishment would offset the damage that his reputation had suffered so far during this invasion, and it would also give the Celestial Demon Emperor a justifiable reason to leave Xu Qing in command.

This was also why Lu Yin was so confident in proposing this deal.
The Astral Beast Domain had a good understanding of the Human Domain.
Xu Qing had at one point thought to use Ling Taizu and the other two Envoys to foment a rebellion against Lu Yin in the Innerverse, showing his understanding of matters in the Human Domain.
By the same token, the Human Domain understood the Astral Beast Domain.
Lu Yin was perfectly clear on just how precarious Xu Qings position was at this moment, which was why Lu Yin was confident in extending this offer.

Xu Qing could not afford to refuse unless he believed that he could defeat the Great Eastern Alliances fleet.
His only other option was to accomplish something impressive in a very short period of time to offset his recent losses.

Still, despite Lu Yins confidence that Xu Qing would agree to this proposal, Lu Yins primary goal was to instigate more chaos by pitting the Astral Beast Domain against the Sixth Mainland.

”Before long, the Sixth Mainland will be plunged into even greater chaos, and that will be your chance.
You might not just enter the central weaves, but even the western region. ” Lu Yin tried to further tempt Xu Qing.

Xu Qing ’s eyes instantly grew hard.
”Invade the western region? Alliance Leader Lu, do you take me for a fool? ”

Lu Yin gave a small smile.
”All I can tell you is that things will soon become completely chaotic within the Sixth Mainland.
How you take advantage of that is entirely up to you, but regardless of whether or not you can push into the Outerverses western weaves, you will still go down in history as the astral beast commander to push the furthest into the Human Domains Outerverse in all of history. ”

It did not matter if a creature was a human or an astral beastno sapient being could resist the desire of having their name be recorded down in history, and Xu Qing was no exception.
While he had no choice but to accept this offer, Xu Qing was no idiot, and he also had his own misgivings.
”Alliance Leader Lu, if we try to push that deep into the Outerverse, well be attacked on two sides by you and the Sixth Mainland.
This is not an opportunity, but rather stupidity. ”

Lu Yin laughed.
”You already said it yourself! Im also enemies with the Sixth Mainland! The Sixth Mainland already took advantage of me by allowing my Great Eastern Alliance to face off against you.
Do you really think that Ill offer them any help at all? Why do you think I told you when I was abandoning Ironblood Weave? You shouldnt have already forgotten about that, Commander. ”

Xu Qing ’s eyes flashed.
Theoretically, it was impossible for Lu Yin to cooperate with the Sixth Mainland, but Xu Qing remained hesitant.
A single mistake at this point would cost him everything.
This was not a game, but war.

”If youre still hesitating, then I can also swear to never move against the Celestial Beast Domains astral beasts when they come to invade the Outerverse.
How about that? ” Lu Yin said.

Xu Qing finally accepted Lu Yin ’s offer.
Swearing an oath was something that was held in high importance by cultivators, especially by those with exceptional talent like Lu Yin who had a chance of eventually becoming a Progenitor.
This was enough for Xu Qing to believe that Lu Yin would not cooperate with the Sixth Mainland.

Besides, there was no foundation for any such cooperation to begin with.
The Sixth Mainland had already destroyed the Fifth Mainlands Daosource Sect, and they had even occupied the remaining ruins.
The Sixth Mainlands invasion of the Fifth Mainland had also created countless blood debts.
Given the enmity between the two Mainlands, would they ever be able to cooperate?

Furthermore, Xu Qing was convinced that Lu Yin wanted to retain control of the Outerverses eastern weaves.
Given that, it made perfect sense for Lu Yin to want to pit the astral beasts against the Sixth Mainland to mutually restrict his two enemies.
Xu Qing did not believe that the Sixth Mainland would willingly hand over the eastern weaves to Lu Yin in order to force Lu Yin to defend against the Astral Beast Domain.

Not long after that, Lu Yin lowered his gadget and let out a long breath.
His strategy had been completed.

He had been tense from the moment that he had first learned that the Astral Beast Domain was invading the Outerverse.
From that time on, he had gathered the strength of the entire Great Eastern Alliance to defend the Outerverse, and he had coerced numerous powerhouses to join the war efforts through threats and bribes.
He had also consulted both Shui Chuanxiao and Wei Rong on what direction to lead the war in, and his overarching goal had just been accomplished.

Wei Rong had been busy transferring the residents of both Armament and Flaxen Weaves, which was why he had not been present at the battlefront.
The path that Lu Yin had offered Xu Qing to the center of the Outerverse was also something that Wei Rong had prepared to specifically be used in war.
