Chapter 2741: Intelligence Summary
"The Bamboo Universe has submitted a request for help: Number 1-7-1-2-2. Do you want to send reinforcements?"
"Send them now. Give the order for reinforcements: Number 1-7-2-3-1."
"The Pingzhen Universe has settled matters at Shaoxing Planet, so they can send reinforcements to a neighboring universe."
"Send the destination coordinates for the reinforcements to the Pingzhen Universe."
"Report: Number 3-0-5-1-1-1."
"No need to send reinforcements. It would be a waste. Have them take care of things themselves."
"Report from the Sky Spider Universe: a Sky Spider nest has been discovered. It is suspected to contain a large number of Ascendant-level Sky Spiders. Do you want to order a retreat?"
"Immediately retreat to the Sky Spider Universe’s portal. Lure the Aeternals towards the nest. Let them fight among themselves."
...
Clear voices rang out continuously, passing along information gathered from the various parallel universes of the Endless Frontier, as well as from the Sixverse Association. Everything was handled in an orderly fashion by the women in the black windbreakers.
No matter how fierce the battles became, there was never any sign of emotion on any of their faces.
Suddenly, a green light turned on, lighting up the entire place.
Everyone looked up in surprise. This green light indicated that a parallel universe had been purged of all Aeternals, which was far from easy. Cultivators would typically face opponents at similar power levels, so while a peak powerhouse could easily purge an entire universe, the Aeternals would do their best to prevent such an opportunity from appearing.
All of the women looked back at a slim woman who was wearing a similar black windbreaker as everyone else. She also had a broad-brimmed black hat that hung down and covered her cheeks, which made it impossible to see her face clearly.
When the green light turned on, the light fell on the broad black hat as well.
Snow-white arms stretched out from beneath the black windbreaker and pushed the hat aside so that the woman could look at the green light. "Which one?"
Her voice was cold, and it also contained a sense of calmness that made it impossible for people to get worked up.
A woman bent to check. "The Lilliput Universe."
The woman at the back rose to her feet, exposing a beautiful face. However, the face was cold, and that coldness reached all the way to the bone. This was not due to the woman’s eyes or demeanor, as it was simply her appearance. That alone was enough to give people chills.
The woman was stunningly beautiful, but her beauty was cold beyond comparison.
"Did the Origin Universe’s Dao Monarch Lu go to the Lilliput Universe?" the woman asked.
"Yes. He arrived sixteen days ago, and his information was shared with the Lilliput Universe."
The woman stared at a display. "Sixteen days? Disappointing. I expected it to take him no more than three days to clear the Lilliput Universe.
"Send a report back to the Sixverse Association. We’ll see how those people react."
"Yes, Ma’am."
...
Information was always sent from the command center to all the members of the Sixverse Association at the same time. The six different universes received the information and would then transmit it to specific people in that universe as soon as possible.
Naturally, any who qualified to receive reports from the Endless Frontier were powerful individuals.
In the Voidforce Universe, Xu Wuji was lounging and enjoying a drink when he received the report. "A universe got the green light? If he’s able to confront that Luo Shan guy, it's no surprise that he could purge a universe."
Far away, Xu Wuwei received the same information, and he similarly did not care about it.
Peak powerhouses such as these two men would not be influenced by the Cyclic Universe’s attitude towards the Origin Universe. They did not feel any sort of disgust, but they also felt no sense of closeness. To them, the Origin Universe was nothing more than another parallel universe.
Lord Xu smiled after receiving the report. He had been paying attention to the recent developments in the Origin Universe.
The man had honestly never expected Lu Yin to be able to overturn Sovereign Shao Yin’s proposal and save the Origin Universe from being added to the Endless Frontier. While Lu Yin’s actions had resulted in him being sent to the Endless Frontier, Luo Shan had been given the same punishment, which had essentially eliminated the Origin Universe’s encroaching crisis. While Sovereign Shao Yin had been commended for his actions, it was also undeniably impossible for him to interfere in the Origin Universe’s affairs anytime soon.
Lu Yin deserved his position as Dao Monarch. While his cultivation was a bit lacking, he was clearly no fool. If he truly intended to go against the Great Sovereign, then even if Shan Gu helped, it would be impossible for Lu Yin to protect his Heavens Sect.
The Great Sovereign had many ways to deal with someone like Lu Yin.
"Dao Monarch... That is not a title used lightly," Lord Xu muttered to himself.
Shan Gu, Grand Elder of the Lost Clan, summoned Shan Zheng. "Is Shan Pu on the Endless Frontier?"
Shan Zheng took a moment to consider the question. "At this point in time, he should be the one there."
"Tell him to find a man named Lu Yin and protect him in secret. No matter what happens to Shan Pu or anyone else, nothing can happen to Lu Yin," Shan Gu sternly commanded.
Shan Zheng felt confused. "Lu Yin? I think that I’ve heard that name before... Right, that is the name of the Origin Universe’s Dao Monarch. Sovereign Shao Yin proposed adding the Origin Universe to the Endless Frontier, which is why I noticed the name. Isn’t Lu Yin the ruler of the Origin Universe and the Dao Monarch or their Heavens Sect? Grand Elder, why must we protect him?"
Shan Zheng did not know that Lu Yin had been the one to draw out the Primeval card during the Shangsan Festival, just like Sovereign Shao Yin and the other peak powerhouses who had attended the celebration. Only Shan Gu and Lord Xu were aware of the details of that matter.
Shan Gu had wanted to tell Shan Zheng of the matter, but after hearing the man’s words, the Grand Elder instead calmly said, "Sovereign Shao Yin is overreaching, trying to expand his influence. We need to protect the people that he is targeting."
This did nothing to alleviate Shan Zheng’s confusion. Was this a valid explanation? No matter how he considered the matter, the explanation seemed a bit far-fetched.
Shan Gu stared at Shan Zheng. "I have reasons for doing this. Send the orders to Shan Pu. As I just said, no matter what happens to anyone else, nothing can happen to Lu Yin. In the name of my Lost Clan, I swear that this child will leave the Endless Frontier alive. If you have any doubts, I will go myself to ensure that this happens."
Shan Zheng was startled, as he had never seen the Grand Elder so serious before. This made it clear just how important this matter was. "I understand. This junior will inform Shan Pu immediately."
The man was not stupid. If he learned that Lu Yin was also Xuan Qi, then there was no doubt that Shan Zheng would be able to put the pieces together. However, he was missing key information, and according to his knowledge, there was no connection between Lu Yin, the Dao Monarch of the Origin Universe, and the Lost Clan. In fact, forget the Lost Clan—no one from the entire Sixverse Association was allowed to have any dealings with the Origin Universe.
Shan Zheng simply could not understand why Lu Yin was so important to the Grand Elder. Swearing on the name of the Lost Clan was regarded as a binding oath.
However, the Grand Elder had not explained himself to Shan Zheng, so the man would not question his orders. All he needed to do was find a way to deliver the message to Shan Pu.
Shan Gu watched as Shan Zheng left, and then let out a breath.
The Endless Frontier was an extremely dangerous place. If Shan Gu did not want to be targeted himself, then he could not directly interfere with the Great Sovereign's decision.
The Grand Elder had been watching the situation in the Origin Universe, and he felt that Lu Yin had handled the matter very well. It was best not to confront the Great Sovereign, and accepting the punishment was nothing to be ashamed of. After all, the Great Sovereign was from the same generation as the Origin Progenitor.
However, Sovereign Shao Yin really needed to be slapped back down to earth from his high and mighty seat.
Despite how much importance Lu Yin attached to the Primeval card, he had still been underestimating the matter. Even if his combat strength was equal to that of an average Progenitor, that did not mean that his comprehension and knowledge had reached the same level.
Primeval cards and sequence particles were matters at a level that Lu Yin still could not touch.

In the Transcendent Universe, Bai Qian stared at the report before looking up.
Below the stairs, the Lilliputians danced about happily, singing and celebrating.
Lu Yin was finally acting in the Sixverse Association with his true identity. Things in the Sixverse Association were about to get quite exciting. When it was revealed that Xuan Qi was actually Lu Yin, the megaverse would experience a revolution.
Bai Qian was eager to see that day.
However, there were many preparations to finish before that time. Bai Qian looked up and stared out into outer space.
***
In the Three Monarchs Universe, Chen Le received the same report.
Before his breakthrough to the Monarch realm, Chen Le had only received the occasional report from the Endless Frontier, and only about matters that were directly related to him. He had never received general information regarding the Endless Frontier.
However, after becoming a Monarch, the man received copies of every report that was sent from that battlefield, no matter how minor.
When he saw that Lu Yin had purged the Lilliput Universe, Chen Le’s eyes turned cold. He desperately hoped that the Aeternals would kill the bastard, as that would keep Chen Le’s secrets concealed forever.
***
In the Cyclic Universe, Sovereign Shao Yin received the same report, but he was unbothered by it. He had also visited the Lilliput Universe in the past, and while he could have cleared the universe while passing through, he had avoided doing so out of fear of drawing the Seven Skygods’ attention. It was no surprise that Lu Yin could purge the universe and trigger a green light.
It was only possible to leave the Endless Frontier early after officially purging three adjoining parallel universes, and that was extremely difficult to accomplish. These were the rules of the Endless Frontier, but if Lu Yin had no intention of leaving the Endless Frontier early, then this one green light would be the end of the matter, as he would spend the next ten years relaxing in the Lilliput Universe.
However, if Lu Yin intended to leave...
Sovereign Shao Yin's eyes turned cold. "Shao Gu."
The woman appeared and offered a respectful bow. "Master?"
"Order all of the Cyclic Universe’s reinforcements to pull out of the universes that are connected to the Lilliput Universe. None of them are allowed to remain there."
Shao Gu understood what she needed to do.
...
The Lilliput Universe became one massive party.
The Aeternals had been completely driven out of the universe, and while there was no question that they would eventually return, the universe would experience peace for at least a short period of time, and it was completely owed to Lu Yin.
Ling Neng, Princess Ling Qi, as well as countless more Lilliputians bowed to Lu Yin to express their heartfelt thanks.
The next day, Lu Yin left. He decided that it would be best to leave the Endless Frontier early, as he wanted to clear out three neighboring parallel universes. After all, if he really did stay for ten years, Xuan Qi's identity would most likely be exposed.
There was a bitter expression on Cang Bi’s face. He did not want to leave, and he would be very happy to stay put in the Lilliput Universe for ten years. In fact, there was no safer option on the Endless Frontier.
Unfortunately, he was dragged away by Lu Yin.
As Lu Yin stared at the portal to the next universe, he realized that he was looking at the exact same thing as the spatial passage that connected the Origin Universe to the Three Monarchs Universe.
The two sides of the portal were connected, and yet were clearly different universes. The megaverse was truly bizarre.
Parallel universes existed and could be traveled to, but there was no way to determine just how many of them there were.
Ling Qi was very unwilling to see Lu Yin leave. Even though they had only known each other for a brief amount of time, he had saved their entire race.
Once Lu Yin left, the Lilliputians’ great elder, Ling Neng, ordered a statue of Lu Yin to be erected to commemorate his achievements.
During the countless years that the Lilliput Universe had been a part of the Endless Frontier, it had been saved by various cultivators on multiple occasions. However, Lu Yin was the first to save them during a true crisis, and he even went on to clear their entire universe.
Other peak powerhouses were capable of doing such a thing, but none had ever done it for the Lilliput Universe, even if they had been capable of doing so.
Lu Yin passed through the portal and entered the Gemini Universe.
Before leaving the Lilliput Universe, he had first gathered some information about the Gemini Universe, as the Lilliputians were quite familiar with their neighbors. Their universes were connected, and they had supported each other on many different occasions.
The defining characteristic of the Gemini Universe was that everyone born there was a twin.
This was a phenomena that many people had studied, but no one had been able to understand why. Everyone born in the universe was born twins without exception, which was also the reason for the universe’s name.
Furthermore, a more important detail about the universe’s twins had made it famous throughout the entire Sixverse Association, which was the fact that any twin from the Gemini Universe was capable of swapping places with each other, as though teleporting.
When the Gemini Universe had first been discovered, the Sixverse Association had been stunned by this ability, and many people had been sent to study it. In the end, there had been no results, and the research had eventually been abandoned.
Because of these two defining characteristics of the Gemini Universe, there was a large number of cultivators born there who were capable of fighting against Aeternus. The overall population of the universe was shocking.
Naturally, that also meant that there was a correspondingly high number of corpse kings sent to the universe by Aeternus.
