Chapter 1644: The Dragon Lord Surrenders

The Sylvan Dragon Realm was the region of Blazing Mist Flowzone where the sylvan dragon clan had made their home.

It was impossible to travel through the Sylvan Dragon Realm on any spacecraft due to it being full of meteoroids. Any vessel trying to travel through the region would crash into something within seconds of entering the region. However, the region of space was perfect for the sylvan dragon to roam about, and the meteoroids also created a natural barrier. The sylvan dragons had betrayed the Astral Beast Domain, and after they had fled to the Human Domain, they had been given this area.

In the deepest regions of the Sylvan Dragon Realm, there was a mainland where the clan’s patriarch, Long Yi, had settled himself.

When the dragons received word of the developments in the war, many of them roared and vowed to destroy the Great Eastern Alliance.

Long Yi’s eyes blazed. Several years had passed since the Blaze Realm had been wiped out. While the Great Eastern Alliance had initially withdrawn from Blazing Mist Flowzone, they were now returning in a very over-the-top manner. They were not fools, which made their intentions very clear. Everything was pointless, as the Great Eastern Alliance would definitely take over all of Blazing Mist Flowzone.

Lu Yin must’ve finished dealing with Emperor Luo. It’s going to be our turn now. It’s all over!

One after another, the sylvan dragons landed on the mainland and asked Long Yi to take action.

Long Yi showed himself. He was more than twice the size of any other sylvan dragon, and he was also an Envoy. He would be considered a powerhouse anywhere in the universe.

He released a massive roar to summon all of the sylvan dragons to appear before him.

At the moment, the clan had more than 5,000 sylvan dragons. Of those, more than 300 had at least the strength of an Explorer and were able to travel through the void. However, most of those powerhouses had already been sent to the battlefield, so there were only about a hundred dragons who had the strength of an Explorer. There were also a few who were Cruisers, but only five Hunters.

“All of you, are you willing to become mounts?” Long Yi asked. His voice was powerful, and it shook the Sylvan Dragon Realm and shattered countless meteoroids.

Many of the dragons fell silent at Long Yi’s words.

Elsewhere, Lu Yin received a call request. Surprisingly, it turned out to be from Mountain God. Lu Yin had expected Liu Qianjue or Wen Zizai would be the first to reach out to him.

“Senior, it’s been a long time,” Lu Yin answered the call calmly.

Mountain God replied in a deep voice, “The Great Eastern Alliance wants to take over Blazing Mist Flowzone?”

“That’s right.” Lu Yin did not avoid the matter at all, which caught Mountain God off guard. He had assumed that Lu Yin would quibble over details or would use some excuse to justify his actions. After all, the Great Eastern Alliance had maintained a very low profile for several years.

“Aren’t you afraid that my Innerverse will unite to drive you out?” Mountain God shouted. “Have you forgotten the Purge?”

Lu Yin’s gaze grew sharp. “The Innerverse is not yours, and my Great Eastern Alliance does not encroach on your own matters. However, we will destroy anyone who tries to drive us out.”

“You sure can talk big.” Mountain God was furious.

Lu Yin remained laid back. “Senior, you can certainly try. My Great Eastern Alliance has tens of millions of cultivators, over 10,000 warships, experts who are Hunters, Enlighters, and even Envoys. My recently established Lu Elite Troops has over 6,000 members, the weakest of which is an Explorer. We also have the colossal giants. What about your Beast Tamers Flowzone?”

Lu Yin was merely mentioning things that had already been revealed. There was nothing he needed to hide.

Mountain God grew solemn. “No matter how strong your Great Eastern Alliance may be, can it be stronger than an alliance formed from the Innerverse’s eight great flowzones?”

Lu Yin secretly laughed; the eight great flowzones? They no longer existed. He had already conquered Blazing Mist Flowzone, and had also secretly taken control of Chaos Flowzone. Venom Flowzone had no interest in the outside world. As for Erudite Flowzone, would they dare move against him? Only if they no longer wanted Wen Diyi. Daynight Flowzone had already been beaten to a shadow of its former glory, which meant that the only flowzones that could truly unite were First Flowzone, Beast Tamers Flowzone, and Soulspirit Flowzone.

As for the remaining three great flowzones, they had already been weakened by Wang Wen’s machinations, so Lu Yin saw no reason to fear being targeted by anyone from the Innerverse.

“I’ll wait for Senior to unite the eight great flowzones,” Lu Yin replied before immediately ending the call. He then quickly sent a message to Wang Wen, telling him to start eliminating people whose names were on the second card.

Right after Mountain God, Lu Yin received a call from Wen Zizai. “Alliance Leader Lu, does the Great Eastern Alliance really want Blazong Mist Flowzone?”

“Of course. The Outerverse has already been given to the Sixth Mainland, which means that I, Lu Yin, have no home. Does Senior want to stop this?”

“Hehe, not at all. Since Alliance Leader Lu has taken a fancy to Blazing Mist Flowzone, you can have it. I just hope that Alliance Leader Lu will make things more peaceful. After all, this universe is not an easy place to live,” Wen Zizai said with a smile before hanging up.

Lu Yin snorted disdainfully. That old man was a fox. He had just been trying to test out Lu Yin’s position. Lu Yin was absolutely certain that if the Wen family believed they were his enemy, they would secretly support the Sword Sect in their efforts against Lu Yin.

However, that no longer mattered. The deaths of various important people to the various Innerverse powers had already destroyed their previously loose cooperation. Lu Yin refused to believe that they would be able to cooperate with each other due to their suspicions about each other.

As Lu Yin had guessed, Mountain God immediately experts from the Divine Grade Hall, First Grade Hall, and the Second Grade Hall. On top of that, he reached out to the Wen family, the Sword Sect, and the Lingling clan. He hoped to unite them all against the Great Eastern Alliance, but his efforts were thwarted.

There were people from the Divine Grade Hall who refused to agree to an alliance with the Sword Sect. The grandson of one of their elders had died in the war in Blazing Mist Flowzone, and the reports had said that he had been killed by a sword.

“Sect Master, while we must be cautious of the Great Eastern Alliance, we must be even more wary of the Sword Sect. There are reports that claim that the Yōu family’s heir is being held prisoner by the Sword Sect. The Sword Sect has the ambition of a wolf, and they are trying to integrate the power of our Innerverse in order to move into the Neoverse. Please reconsider this matter.”

Mountain God became furious, and he immediately wanted to scold the elder, but someone else spoke up before he could. This person opposed cooperating with the Lingling clan.

It was not that the elders were not able to see the current situation clearly, but rather that their hatred for the other Innerverse powers had gone too deep. Still, such people were quickly suppressed. There was no lack of intelligent people in Beast Tamers Flowzone.

“The deaths of some people from my Beast Tamers Flowzone were not necessarily caused by the Sword Sect or the Lingling Clan. Sect Master, the Great Eastern Alliance is also very suspicious; they could be trying to divide the Innerverse,” one old woman commented.

Her words left many others start thinking.

The elder who had objected to working with the Sword Sect shouted, “As far as this old man is concerned, the Sword Sect still represents a greater threat than the Great Eastern Alliance!”

The old woman looked over at the man. “Do you wish to find the real killer behind Ling Sun’s death, or do you prefer to be used by the murderer?”

The elder was startled and left speechless.

The old woman continued, “If the the person behind these deaths is the Great Eastern Alliance, you will become a pawn for your grandson’s murderer. Consider the matter carefully.”

The others all glanced at each other.

Mountain God let out a sigh of relief. Although he could simply force everyone to work with the Sword Sect and the Lingling clan, doing so would be a waste of effort, as there would absolutely be some people working to make things difficult.

He somewhat regretted his actions; he should have enacted the Purge back then. No matter what else Lu Yin had done, he had been the person who had come out as the final victor from ZENITH. Unfortunately, time could not be reversed.

Similar events played out in the Sword Sect, the Wen family, the Lingling clan, and the rest of the Innerverse. There were people who opposed cooperation, while others supported it. In the end, there were more clear-headed people, and there was no stopping an Innerverse alliance.

In Blazing Mist Flowzone, Liu Ye led Lu Yin into the Sylvan Dragon Realm, and there they found thousands of dragons on a mainland, as well as Long Yi.

Long Yi stared at Lu Yin and Liu Ye. A deep hatred filled the dragon’s massive eyes. “Where’s Emperor Luo?”

Lu Yin stood high above and looked down at Long Yi. “Not dead yet, I’m sorry to say.”

Long Yi solemnly stated, “My sylvan dragon clan is willing to surrender to the Great Eastern Alliance. My only hope is that this Sylvan Dragon Realm can remain untouched so that the children can live in peace.”

Lu Yin glanced around at the gathered sylvan dragons. He saw the hate in their eyes, and his own eyes flickered. “That’s not too much to ask for.”

Long Yi heaved a sigh of relief.

“However, I worked hard to seize control of Blazing Mist Flowzone not just to let an aging sylvan dragon like you to enjoy his old age in peace,” Lu Yin continued.

Liu Ye was looking around with open curiosity. These sylvan dragons were quite odd. They had antlers, but the bodies of snakes. They had rabbit eyes, cow ears, silkworm belly, carp scales, eagle claws, tiger paws, and two dark red, massive, delicate wings on their backs. At the end of their tails were large balls of flesh. Their eyes radiated cruelty and fierceness. They seemed passive at the moment, but it was clear to see that the moment an opportunity arose, these sylvan dragons would pounce without any hesitation.

These were astral beasts. They were not human, and they lacked humanity.

“Alliance Leader Lu, I can serve you, or even act as your mount,” Long Yi said. His words caused all of the other dragons to glare at Lu Yin with frustration and indignation.

Lu Yin gave a small smile. “It won’t be just you. All of the sylvan dragons who can travel through the void will join the Lu Elite Troops and become mounts for the soldiers.”

Many of the dragons let out low roars.

Lu Yin’s eyes grew wide, and his domain swept out to encompass all of the sylvan dragons and Long Yi.

The sylvan dragons all felt chills cover their bodies as they were suppressed by Lu Yin’s domain. Long Yi shouted angrily, “Alliance Leader Lu, is the loyalty of me, Patriarch Long Yi, not enough for you? Why should I sell my descendants?”

Lu Yin disappeared as he entered the true universe. All of the dragons were left confused, as they could not understand where Lu Yin had gone.

Long Yi stared in front of himself where Lu Yin was walking forward step by step. He was not moving quickly, and it was clear that he knew that Long Yi could see him. In fact, it was clear that Lu Yin wanted Long Yi to see him.

Long Yi was stunned; Lu Yin was just an Enlighter, and yet he had just entered the true universe. Long Yi could not begin to imagine how the youth had done it. How could such a genius exist in the universe?

Lu Yin emerged from the true universe, and when he reappeared, he was on top of Long Yi’s head. As his feet touched the massive dragon’s head, Long Yi was smashed to the ground.

There was a bang that caused the mainland to tremble from Long Yi striking the ground, and the shockwave from the impact knocked back some of the other dragons.

All the dragons roared with fury, and one of them who was an Enlighter actually charged at Lu Yin. As the dragon shot forward, it used its speed to create clones and it reached out to grab Lu Yin.

Lu Yin sneered and he lashed out with his spiritual force, rattling the Enlighter dragon’s mind and causing it to crash down into the ground.

All of the other dragons were horrified.

Long Yi shouted, “Alliance Leader Lu, what do you want?”

Lu Yin was still standing on Long Yi. He knew the dragon could fight back, but simply did not dare to do so. However, it did not matter even if Long Yi did resist, as the dragon was not Lu Yin’s match. “Like I already said, all sylvan dragons who are able to freely travel through space will join the Lu Elite Troops as mounts. Those who have not yet reached that level can choose to travel to Zenyu Star and act as sparring partners for students from the Yu Academy. These will be arrangements. I am the one with the final word, not you.”

Long Yi was panting. His huge head was being pressed to the ground, and at this moment, every shred of the dragon’s dignity was being pressed beneath Lu Yin’s feet.

Lu Yin did not care about Long Yi’s dignity. The sylvan dragon clan had already betrayed the Astral Beast Domain and taken refuge in the Human Domain. Their actions had caused them to be looked down upon by everyone, but they were proud of that fact.

Back when Lu Yin had participated in the entrance exam for Astral-10, the sylvan dragons had sent members to participate in order to stop students from passing the exam and prevent Astral-10 from gaining any students. When Lu Yin had moved against Daynight Flowzone, the sylvan dragons had moved out to help the Daynight clan. Lu Yin had never forgotten how they had worked against him.
