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.
