Star Odyssey

Repairs quickly started on Greentea Planet. The natives and their reinforcements from the Sixverse Association moved out in all directions, working together with people who had come from far away, and they started retaking the Lilliput Universe.

During that time, Lu Yin learned of the disaster that the universe had faced.

The Aeternals were truly unlucky. They had taken the time to transform Ling Shi and other natives into corpse kings, which should have allowed them to conquer the entire Lilliput Universe. However, they had failed at the last step because of Lu Yin’s arrival.

Half an hour after the fighting ended, the information center on Greentea Planet received a message from the Sixverse association.

Princess Ling Qi and Great Elder Ling Shi, stared at the message in shock.

"Is that Lord Lu really so important?" Ling Qi was shocked.

The message that they had received was a detailed introduction to Lu Yin's background.

It was not a mistake that they had received the information so late. It was impossible for the Sixverse Association to inform each parallel universe in the Endless Frontier of the details regarding each person who was sent to fight there. Reinforcements were reinforcements and nothing more. If not for the fact that the Lilliput Universe had been facing a crisis and had requested support repeatedly, the Sixverse Association most likely would not have shared any of Lu Yin's information with the universe.

From the information provided, it was impossible to determine the Sixverse Association’s feelings towards Lu Yin, as none of that was passed along to the Endless Frontier.

"Qiqi, don't share any of Lord Lu's information. Don’t give this to anyone," Ling Shi said somberly.

Ling Qi nodded as she destroyed the information.

Two days later, more reinforcements arrived through the second portal. Hundreds of cultivators led by someone as powerful as a Semi-Progenitor arrived though the Endless Frontier. As this place only used the Cyclic Universe’s terminology, the man was regarded as an Ascendant.

This Ascendant arrived, only to discover that the war in the Lilliput Universe had already ended. After speaking with Ling Neng and other natives, the Ascendant learned that an expert had already provided assistance. The Ascendant wanted to meet Lu Yin and Cang Bi, but Ling Neng quickly shared Lu Yin's identity.

The Ascendant immediately left, as though avoiding a snake or a scorpion.

Lu Yin was ignorant as to just how infamous he was throughout the Sixverse Association. The fact that he had publicly insulted Sage Yuan had long since become public knowledge, as well as the fact that he was being personally punished by the Great Sovereign himself.

"Lord Lu!" Ling Qi approached Lu Yin and offered a polite bow.

Lu Yin calmly asked, "Did that Ascendant already leave?"

Ling Qi confirmed as she stared at the tall man in front of her with open curiosity. This man's name alone was enough to scare an Ascendant out of the Lilliput Universe. From the information that Ling Qi had seen, Lu Yin was even capable of facing off against the ruler of the Three Monarchs Universe, Monarch Luo, and drawing the attention of the Great Sovereign himself. How was he so powerful?

Lu Yin turned to look at the little princess.

Ling Qi was staring directly at Lu Yin, so when he turned and caught sight of her, her face flushed bright red, and she immediately ducked her head.

Lu Yin smiled and sat down before stretching out a hand towards Ling Qi.

She stared at the hand before her and then looked up at Lu Yin. Her reaction was incredibly cute.

"You can come up," Lu Yin said with a smile.

Ling Qi looked back down at Lu Yin's palm. "Is that really alright?"

Lu Yin nodded, so Ling Qi pursed her lips. She rose up into the air, very carefully wiped her shoes clean, and then cautiously stepped onto Lu Yin's hand. When she looked back up at him, her eyes were filled with joy.

Lu Yin lifted his hand so that his eyes were level with Ling Qi’s. "I’ve seen some of your people before."

"Within the Sixverse Association?" Ling Qi asked.

Lu Yin nodded.

"There are quite a few of our people in their universes. Where did you see them, Lord Lu?"

"The Transcendent Universe."

Ling Qi thought for a moment. "Then that should be Little Wu and the others with her. They love to dance, and their laughter is beautiful to hear."

Lu Yin thought back to the times when he had visited the place where He Ran sat atop the staircase. During each visit, he had seen the tiny people happily dancing about and had heard their laughter.

"Are they able to return here whenever they want?" Lu Yin asked.

Ling Qi nodded with a smile. "Of course."

Ling Qi's smile allowed Lu Yin to relax a bit.

He chatted with Ling Qi for a long time, and the diminutive princess gradually relaxed and started jumping about on Lu Yin's hand. She liked him a lot, as he had saved her entire people. On top of that, Lu Yin did not have the aloof attitude that most powerhouses put on.

All of the powerhouses from the Sixverse Association that Ling Qi had encountered before had been very stern. There had never been one like Lu Yin before.

Over the next few days, Lu Yin frequently visited Ling Qi. Sometimes, Ling Neng would also share information with Lu Yin, which was how he learned that it was possible to travel to the Gemini Universe from the Lilliput Universe. Once all of Aeternus’s forces in a given universe had been eliminated, and once that was verified, a light representing the universe would turn green. A green light indicated the status of a parallel universe on the Endless Frontier at a specific moment. Even if the green light only lasted for a second, it would still count as an achievement.

If a person could cause three neighboring parallel universes on the battlefield to turn green, it was considered a big enough achievement to excuse them from the Endless Frontier, regardless of the remaining duration of their service.

This was something that Lu Yin had learned from Cang Bi.

Lu Yin carefully considered the possibility of clearing three adjoining universes. If all three were the same as the Lilliput Universe, then it would not be too difficult.

However, Ling Neng cautioned Lu Yin not to be rash. How could a standard set by the Sixverse Association be anything simple?

According to the rules of the Endless Frontier, at least one out of every three connected parallel universes had to be much more difficult to deal with. The Lilliput Universe was connected to the Gemini Universe, and the next one from there was the Big Stone Universe.

As soon as Cang Bi heard that the Gemini Universe was connected to the Big Stone Universe, he immediately tried to persuade Lu Yin to not do anything impulsive. It would not be bad to remain in the Lilliput Universe and simply return after ten years passed.

Lu Yin knew that this was indeed the safest option. Unless a Progenitor-level expert visited the Lilliput Universe, Lu Yin would not face any threat over the next ten years.

When the entire Endless Frontier was taken into account, and while there were quite a number of peak powerhouses present, if they were scattered evenly throughout sixty-two parallel universes, it was impossible for each universe to have such an expert. In fact, several peak powerhouses would often congregate in a single universe.

At the moment, there was no need for Lu Yin to participate in the Lilliput Universe’s battles. Cang Bi sighed, as he had never imagined being able to relax in such a fashion while on the Endless Frontier.

"Lord Lu, let me take you somewhere," Ling Qi happily suggested after approaching Lu Yin.

Lu Yin smiled and then followed Ling Qi. They soon arrived at a beautiful field of flowers that seemed to have no end.

There were flowers of every variety blossoming in the field, filling it with countless colors, as well as spots of light that danced about like fairies.

None of the flowers were large, even to Ling Qi, which meant that, for Lu Yin, they were as small as sesame seeds. Still, an endless field filled with such flowers was truly beautiful.

"Did your people plant these?" Lu Yin asked.

Ling Qi nodded and leaped into the sky above the field of flowers. She spun in the air, and the spots of light gathered onto her body to create what looked like cute little wings. "We Lilliputians plant a flower here when we reach adulthood, offering a prayer for a good life."

Lu Yin knelt down as he looked at the flowers before him. Were these prayers for a good life?

He caught sight of something tied along a path that ran through the field. He released his domain and saw that it was a strip of cloth with some words written upon it.

His domain spread further and further, and he found countless strips of cloth, each one similarly bearing some words.

Lu Yin did not know the Lilliputians’ language, so he asked Ling Qi about what he had found.

She replied, "They are prayers that peace will return to our home and that there will be no more Aeternals."

"Is that what you meant?" Lu Yin was surprised. "Are these the prayers for a good life that you mentioned?" freewebn(o)vel.com

Ling Qi smiled and nodded. "That’s right, it’s our greatest wish. Ever since long ago, the Aeternals have fought against us, and there has been no peace in our universe from that moment on. There has always been fighting, which is why every Lilliputian’s greatest wish is for peace.”

Lu Yin stared off into the distance. The field of flowers truly seemed endless. Throughout the many years, countless Lilliputians had been born, and all of them had dreamed of peace. It was the simplest wish imaginable, and yet also the most difficult to achieve.

"How many Lilliputians are left now?" Lu Yin asked.

Ling Qi sadly replied, "Not many. If you hadn't arrived when you did, Lord Lu, only those of us living in the Sixverse Association might still be alive, with all of us here in the Lilliput Universe wiped out.

"In the past, many other parallel universes have been conquered by the Aeternals."

Lu Yin asked, "If the Aeternals conquered this universe, wouldn’t they establish an Aeternus Kingdom?"

Ling Qi became confused. "What’s an Aeternus Kingdom?"

This question startled Lu Yin. Did this mean that the Aeternals did not have any Aeternus Kingdoms in the Endless Frontier’s parallel universes?

The fragrance of the flowers was quite refreshing. People always wished for things to be better, but for many, their wishes would never be anything more than that. However, those wishes were not difficult for Lu Yin to fulfill.

At least, the Lilliputians’ wish was nothing difficult for him as long as a Progenitor-level corpse king did not appear.

Lu Yin relaxed on Greentea Planet for several days. He felt quite at ease among the Lilliputians, possibly because of their small size and cute appearances.

However, he should settle things for them, since it would not be difficult for him to do so.

As for continuing on to the Gemini Universe, he would see about that when the time came.

"Lord Lu, there are some beautiful flowers over there. Let me show you." Ling Qi turned around, but Lu Yin was gone.

"Lord Lu?"

...

Fragments of meteorites struck a planet. They were from a corpse king.

Down on the planet, arrows shot upwards, causing the meteorites to explode, which tore the ground apart. fre ewebno vel.com

There was fighting in just about every part of the Lilliput Universe. The Lilliputians were supported by cultivators from the Sixverse Association, and they both fought to the death against the Aeternals in an endless war.

Lu Yin appeared, and with a wave of his hand, the corpse king disappeared.

Lu Yin left again.

The Lilliputians stood on the planet and stared blankly up at the sky. Where was the corpse king?

The same situation repeated throughout the Lilliput Universe, as Aeternus’s forces were continuously wiped out.

Lu Yin also ordered Cang Bi to eliminate the Aeternals wherever he went. There was no worry that the man would try to run away, as they were on the Endless Frontier. There was no safer place for Cang Bi than behind Lu Yin. On top of that, if the man tried to escape from Lu Yin while on the Endless Frontier, the Semi-Monarch was afraid that, after returning, Lu Yin would go to the Three Monarchs Universe and make trouble for Cang Bi.

Would someone who could yell insults at Monarch Luo care about Cang Bi?

Cang Bi felt both lucky and frustrated that he was forced to follow Lu Yin. The man suspected that Lu Yin might not stay in the Lilliput Universe for very long, but Cang Bi did not want to enter another parallel universe.

On the other hand, if Cang Bi had not followed Lu Yin and had been alone when he had arrived in the Lilliput Universe, there was no telling what fate might have awaited him.

It took just ten days for Lu Yin to erase all traces of Aeternus from the Lilliput Universe, stunning the Lilliputians.

On Greentea Planet, inside the tower, Ling Qi solemnly passed the information to the Sixverse Universe, reporting that the Lilliput Universe had been purged and that it could be checked for a green light.

...

In another parallel universe, there was a mysterious place that was filled with displays as far as the eye could see. This was the location where information was gathered from the entire Endless Frontier.

Every last bit of information from the sixty-two parallel universes entered this place to be analyzed, summarized, and then passed on to the Sixverse Association. Most information did not need to be sent on, as the information was able to handle most matters directly.

After all, this was not merely the data center for the battlefield, but also the command center where the overall situation of the Endless Frontier was observed and managed.

The strangest thing about this place was that there was not a single man present. Every single person in the place was a woman, and they all wore the same black windbreakers. There were solemn expressions on every face, and determined eyes stared at the various displays without revealing the slightest flicker of emotion.
